Chapter 32: Sakura's Demands (1) [R-18]
The silence was occasionally broken by the crackling of firewood. Hajime sat on the soft couch, an arm's distance away from Aveline, who had a book in her slender hands.
Hajime grew tired of looking at the painting on the wall. He had seen enough rivers and mountains for one day. The sound of paper being turned caught his ears. He looked at Aveline. Hajime hadn't paid her looks much attention since he first saw her, he was more preoccupied with analyzing her, and the rest of the princess' stats.
Aveline had freckles that ran across her nose bridge. He studied the woman, paying careful attention to the shape of her face, her neckline, and her small nose. Hajime let his gaze wander to her lips, his heart racing as the thought of kissing her entered his mind.
Suddenly Aveline shifted and turned to face Hajime.
Her eyes looked directly into his. The reflection of the fire mixed perfectly with her violet eyes. Hajime swallowed. She made him nervous.
"Interesting book?" he said.
Aveline nodded before turning back to her reading.
Hajime bit his lip, a surge of disappointment filling him. He leaned back into the couch and gazed into the fire.
"I meant it when I said I'd be your friend." Hajime said.
The girl did not react, her eyes continued scanning the pages.
"Aveline, will you not even acknowledge me?" Hajime asked, a hint of sadness seeping into his voice.
She lowered the book to her lap and peered at Hajime. She parted her lips but she didn't speak, instead, the sound of the door being slammed open was heard.
"I'm back!" Sakura said.
She had a backpack and she was holding in her hands a flower pot, the flower pot with three little seedlings.
"Sakura." Hajime greeted.
The short woman skipped towards the couch, she hopped next to Hajime, her shoulder bumped into his arm, and her face inches away from his.
"Daddy!" She said happily, "Let's go unpack."
Sakura grabbed Hajime's hand, and without waiting for his response, she dragged him upstairs, leaving Aveline alone with her book.
After an hour of unpacking and reorganizing Sakura's room, Hajime finally entered his shared room and plopped himself on the inviting bed. His feet were dangling, and his right arm was hanging from the bed as he took a nap.
[Two hours have passed. I am not an alarm clock]
The system woke him up. Hajime found himself gently tucked under the bedsheets, a pillow rested underneath his head. He didn't remember tucking himself in. He got up and noticed Aveline sleeping next to him. She lay on the other side of the king-size bed.
She looked adorable without her glasses, he thought before he exited the room, failing to notice the pair of eyes that followed him.
Hajime's slippers stopped in front of Sakura's door. A sign hanged from the doorknob, it read 'Sakura's Garden'. Without knocking he opened the door. The sight before him caused him to immediately shut the door behind him. Sakura sat on the bed, a red beanie on her head, a pink sweater covering her chest, while her legs remained exposed.
"Like what you see?" she teased, "Fufu."
She raised her left foot, exposing her most secret place to him, teasing him.
"I do." Hajime said as he took off his slippers.
He walked towards Sakura's bed which lay in the far end of the room. Sakura licked her lips as he got closer. Hajime grabbed her left foot and removed her pink socks. Sakura giggled.
"Huh? What are you doing Daddy." she asked, feigning innocence.
Sakura's toes wiggled as he felt them.
"Just inspecting my daughter's cute toes." he said before he started massaging her cute little toes.
"Mmm, why thank you." she responded.
Her delicate and soft skin was a delight to touch.
"You're welcome."
She tilted her head at his response.
"Did something happen between you and Aveline?" Sakura asked, as she lifted her other foot.
"Nothing." He said, "Are you jealous?"
"Nope, not one bit." she lied.
Sakura then made a grunting sound, she thrust her feet forward, and pushed them against his crotch, gently rubbing him through the fabric. He grabbed her by the ankles and kept moving his thumbs, Sakura's toes curled.
"What did we say about lying." he scolded, his palms moved onto her soles.
"It's okay to lie, as long as I'm the only one doing it." she said.
"Mmmm"
Her toes clenched and extended repeatedly. Sakura pushed the tip of her big toe into his crotch and stroked his erection. She traced the outline of his length, while he ran the tips of his fingers up and down the bottom of her soles.
"Hahaha I can feel it."
"You know I have to seduce the princesses right?"
"Yes yes, that thing in your head tells you to but that doesn't mean I have to like it."
"Is someone jealous?" he teased.
"Me? Jealous? No way."
"The cat likes to act like a dog."
"I'm not a cat." she hissed, pushing her toe harder.
"Ow, ow."
"Why should I have to share you?" she said, looking into his eyes, her yellow and red irises shining brightly.
"You're mine." she hissed.
"And you're mine but I have to do it to get stronger and to live." he said.
"I'll tear out their throats." She growled, "I'll kill anyone who touches you."
Hajime stroked her silky hair, "Now, now you know I can't let you do that."
"You're mine" she repeated.
"I'll still be yours even if I sleep with them."
"I don't mind the sleeping, you can rape them if you want." she said, "But that's not who you are."
Hajime scratched the back of his head, "Raping a woman goes against my morals."
"So you're going to get them to fall in love with you." she said, "I don't like that."
"What can I do to convince you?" he asked, as he gently caressed her smooth and slender feet.
"Promise me you won't fall in love with them. I can tolerate our mothers but princesses?" She sighed and bit her lip.
"I can't promise that."
"Then I won't let you."
"But what if-"
Sakura dug her toes into his flesh.
"Ugh."
"You won't." she insisted.
"What if I promised to love you more?" he tried.
She stuck her tongue out, "No."
"What if I bought you presents?"
"Not gonna work."
"What if I gave you my soul?"
"Ahahaha too late to do that." she chuckled and smirked.
"There's nothing I can give you is there."
"Nope."
[Would the host like to use points to alter her mind]
'No. I'm not using you to mess with Sakura's mind.'
[Understood.]
"Do you want me to die?" Hajime asked.
"I won't let you die." Sakura replied.
Hajime felt a tightness in his chest, he didn't want to manipulate any of his loved ones but this is important.
"That's impossible Sakura, you don't know anything about this being." Hajime said.
"Doe-" He put his finger on her lips, silencing her.
"How about this, in exchange for giving up a piece of yourself I'll give up a piece of myself?" Hajime offered.
Sakura's ears twitched.
"Give up what?"
"My ability to have children with others. It's yours alone." Hajime said.
Her eyes widened and then she closed them. Her eyebrows furrowed.
"Even with Sophia?" she asked.
Hajime hesitated. He didn't know if he'd be able to keep his promise if she was involved.
"Yes." he finally answered, pushing that time bomb down the road.
"Okay, I accept but you'll still have children with our children." she said.
Hajime choked on air, as he got dizzy.
"Huh?" he managed to ask.
"I said what I said." she replied.
"I feel like we're getting sidetracked here."
"Yes, we are."
She spread her legs, showing him her dripping flower.
"Give me more seeds." she demanded.
