Jinsei ni Tsukare Tadoritsuita Mura de, Bijo-tachi ga Ore o Hanashite Kurenai [Volume 2] [Prologue] [Free]

To me, living was nothing but agony.

Fresh out of college and ready to take on the world, I was immediately blindsided by the dark underbelly of society. A "black company"—a soul-crushing, exploitative corporation. I knew they existed, of course. I knew they were a major social issue. But I never, ever thought such a nightmare would happen to me.

I’d always imagined a perfectly ordinary life. You face some ups and downs, you date, you get married, you have kids, you build a family... and then you grow old and pass away. That was the vague roadmap I had in mind. Turns out, it was nothing but a naive pipe dream.

I gave it my all, but I couldn’t take it anymore. So, I ran.

I ran blindly, without a destination, until I finally stumbled upon a place called Minosato Village. It was here that I experienced a life-changing encounter—one that finally let a ray of light pierce through the pitch-black darkness of my mind.

I don’t wish for a quick escape anymore, nor do I want to be left alone. Life is completely unpredictable, but I actually want to pat myself on the back and thank the me who chose to run away that day.

To the me of that day... thank you.

Right now, I’m incredibly happy. I'm filled with so much joy.

...There is just one little unexpected development. To put it bluntly, the women who have been taking care of me are incredibly, unbelievably lewd.

I mean, seriously... they are off the charts.

But I’ve accepted it. In fact, the thought of leaving them is entirely out of the question. I never want to walk away from the women who reached out to save me, and I am never letting go of their hands. I’ve already fallen into the deep end with them... but honestly, it feels amazing.

I can’t escape. No, that’s wrong—I don’t even want to escape. They didn't just accept me; they actually want me. And right by their side is exactly where I want to stay.

"Man... you could practically write a light novel about this."

The words slipped out as I lay there, staring blankly up at the ceiling. I had just woken up, but since it was barely six in the morning, it was still a bit too early to get out of bed.

"I don't feel tired at all. Ever since I got here, every morning has been the perfect wake-up call."

Just a few days ago, I used to dread the sunrise. I mean, who wouldn't? You open your eyes, and a few moments later, you're commuting right back into the depths of hell. Granted, no matter how much money I have saved up, refusing to work probably makes me a failure as an adult. Still, I never imagined that simply escaping that company—and those toxic bosses—could make my heart feel this incredibly light.

"...No, that’s not it. It’s not just because I left the company. It’s because Mina-san and the others healed me."

Mina-san, Reina-san, and Yua. If I hadn't met them in Minosato Village, I wouldn't be greeting the morning with this kind of peace of mind. It really came down to a single stroke of fate. If I had arrived in this village even a hair earlier or later, I never would have crossed paths with Mina-san—the girl who started it all, the ultimate turning point in my life.

"If things had gone differently, I might have just passed through without meeting a soul... I don't even want to picture it."

The mere thought of a life without them sent a chill down my spine.

"...Then again," I muttered to myself.

Right after telling myself I didn't want to think about unpleasant things, I realized what a total degenerate I was. Why? Because the very next thing that popped into my head was a vivid imagination of the incredibly naughty things Mina-san and Reina-san do to me.

"Seriously, Mina-san and Reina-san are way too lewd..."

We haven't done it yet—if you catch my drift. It’s a bit awkward to admit, but every single time I get visibly turned on around them, they always seem to notice. And like clockwork, they step up to take care of me, offering their own version of "healing."

Calling it healing feels a bit shameless considering how dirty it actually is, but when they use their mouths or their breasts, it feels so amazing that it consistently sweeps me away into a dreamlike euphoria.

"?"

Right then, the faint sound of footsteps echoed from the other side of the door.

The moment I recognized the steps as either Mina-san's or Reina-san's, I instinctively closed my eyes. For some reason, I decided to play dead.

"Takuya-san, are you awake?"

It was Mina-san's voice.

Instead of answering her call, I kept my eyes shut tight, pretending to be fast asleep. Honestly, I had no idea why I felt the sudden urge to fake it.

"I'm coming in, okay? Ready or not, here I come."

With a soft click, the door swung open, and a presence slipped into the room. Her footsteps softly pressed against the tatami mats as she approached, finally coming to a halt right next to my futon.

"...Hehe, look at that cute sleeping face. I guess this place really has become a safe haven for you, Takuya-san."

"......"

It really has... It absolutely has.

I try my best every single day to show my gratitude and give back to them, but they usually just laugh it off and tell me I'm overthinking things.

"Maybe I'll just cuddle up next to you for a bit..." Mina-san whispered.

I felt the futon shift as she lay down right beside me. Her gentle breaths and a sweet, faint aroma tickled my nose. Because we spent so much time in such close proximity, her scent had almost started to feel like a natural extension of my own body. I didn't know the first thing about perfumes, but I could definitely recognize her body wash and shampoo. Granted, sharing the same bathroom and using the exact same products played a big part in that... but that didn't matter right now.

"......"

"Wow, you aren't moving a muscle... Staring at your sleeping face is nice and all, but I’d much rather look into your eyes while we talk. Just kidding~"

I'm so sorry, Mina-san... I should have never pretended to be asleep in the first place.

Because of that stupid impulse, I had completely missed my window to wake up. Besides, I'm a terrible liar and an even worse actor; opening my eyes now and claiming I just woke up would blow my cover instantly.

...There was a solid chance she already knew I was faking it, but like I said, missing the timing was fatal.

"Still... hehe♪ The joy of taking care of you is truly second to none, Takuya-san. I want to serve you more and more... I want to do so many good things to make you feel incredible... Oh!"

Her words, whispered directly into my ear, sent a violent shiver running through my core. Maybe it was the visual deprivation of keeping my eyes closed, but the sudden, sultry edge in Mina-san's voice was... to put it bluntly, highly dangerous for my lower half.

I had literally just been fantasizing about them. If I let my guard down for even a second, my current position would make it glaringly obvious how turned on I was. But if she noticed it like this, what would happen?

"Mm... ah, this is bad. Just being next to you... just smelling you makes my body feel so hot. I'm supposed to get ready and go to school soon, but here I am, acting like a shameless girl dripping with such a naughty scent..."

S-She's escalating!

I didn't know what exactly constituted a "naughty scent," but in my mind, it was definitely that sweet, intoxicating aroma radiating from Mina-san and Reina-san.

"Takuya-san..."

Slowly but surely, Mina-san closed the remaining distance between us. As her scent and presence grew overwhelming, it meant the space between us was shrinking to absolute zero. Finally, I felt her soft body press flush against mine.

"Your body is so firm... I can't stop imagining it, you know? Being held tightly in these arms... so tightly it almost hurts, while you completely have your way with my body... Ah, it's so wonderful..."

Mina-san's hot breath brushed against my cheek, and at the same time, her hands began to wander across my body. Her touch was incredibly suggestive—the kind of bold behavior you would never expect from someone who looked as pure and innocent as Mina-san.

Eventually, her hand migrated all the way down to my waist.

"...Ufufe~"

Gently rubbing me through my pants, Mina-san spoke up again.

"There are so many more things I want to do with you, Takuya-san. I want to have sex with you... I want us to experience so much together."

"......"

"But it's also true that just being together like this brings me so much peace. You do so much around the house, it feels like you've lived with us forever. You're so dependable... Do you have any idea how happy my mother and I are to have you here?"

She planted a soft kiss on my cheek, and then her hand slipped inside my waistband.

It had been a few days since the first time she had made me feel good, and after a few repeat sessions, her touch had evolved into something incredibly practiced. My body reacted instantly to the gentle, treasured sensation of her fingers.

"Wow, it's gotten so big... Do you want me to make you feel good?"

"......"

...That was it. I couldn't take it anymore. I gave up on playing dead.

However, right as I surrendered and prepared to open my eyes, Mina-san beat me to the punch, her tone dripping with playful certainty.

"So, Takuya-san? How much longer are you planning to pretend you're asleep?"

"Gah—?!"

I had a sneaking suspicion she knew, but she had completely caught me red-handed.

Accepting my defeat, I opened my eyes to find Mina-san beaming down at me with a radiant, mischievous smile.

"Uh... so you knew?"

"Of course I did. I noticed the second I walked into the room."

"Are you serious?"

"Dead serious. I can read you like an open book, Takuya-san. I'm always watching you, so I know exactly what you want."

Hearing her say it like that was a little terrifying... and yet, knowing she cared about me that intensely made me incredibly happy. It made me want to hear her say it even more.

"Well then, Takuya-san. What is it that you want me to do?"

It was a question she had asked me countless times lately. Mina-san and Reina-san both asked me the exact same thing, and every single time, my answer was always the same.

"...Could you help me take care of this?"

Despite my lingering embarrassment, she gave me a delighted nod.

"Then, bon appétit~"

Shifting her body down between my thighs, she parted her lips and took me into her mouth all at once. The sudden wave of heat enveloping my sensitive skin felt intense at first, but the sheer pleasure coursing through my entire body quickly drowned out everything else.

It was a scandalous sound to hear first thing in the morning. The messy, squelching noises and the deep, rhythmic friction of her suction created a delightfully lewd melody, driving my excitement over the edge.

Mina-san looked up at me, her eyes locking onto mine as her head moved, clearly seeking approval. I gently stroked her hair and nodded.

"That feels incredible, Mina-san."

She beamed, her eyes lighting up with pure delight.

Right away, she shifted gears, playing with the pacing and pressure. Alternating between a soft, gentle tease and intense friction, the pleasure threatened to lift my hips right off the futon, a gasp catching in my throat.

"Mina-san...!"

"Mm?!"

Like a tightly overinflated balloon finally bursting, the overwhelming wave of release poured out inside her mouth. The aftershocks rippled through me for what felt like ages. Just when I thought the tide was finally receding, she hit me with an intense vacuum pull—easily the strongest one all morning.

"Whoa—!"

"Mmh~"

I instinctively tried to pull back, but Mina-san wrapped her arms tightly around my waist, pinning me down as she pressed her face even closer.

"M-Mina-san..."

She didn't let go, drinking in every last drop. When she finally pulled away, her cheeks moved as she swallowed it all down.

"Hehe♪ Thanks for the delicious breakfast~" she said, looking completely satisfied.

"Ah... haha. Thanks, Mina-san."

"You're very welcome!"

What started as me faking sleep had turned into a wild morning routine, but honestly, this was just a normal day with them. There was zero misery in this new life. If anything, it felt too good to be true, constantly leaving me wondering if I even deserved to have my wildest fantasies fulfilled in such a blissful way.

My morning with Mina-san was just the opening act. After changing, I headed out to the living room to find Reina-san putting the finishing touches on breakfast.

"Morning, Takuya-kun."

"Morning."

The food on the table smelled amazing, but my eyes immediately drifted to her attire—or lack thereof. She was wearing nothing but a flimsy camisole, as usual. As she turned around, her massive cleavage swayed heavily. I couldn't help but stare, which earned me a playful giggle from Reina-san.

"Staring a bit much, aren't we? Not that I mind when it's you, Takuya-kun."

"S-Sorry about that..."

"No need to apologize. You can stare as much as you want. In fact, you're free to touch me however you like."

She stepped closer, flashing a sultry smile. She radiated the same sweet scent as Mina-san, but when it came to pure, unadulterated sex appeal, Reina-san was on a whole different level.

"...Hmm?"

"Reina-san?"

Suddenly, her nose twitched. She leaned in closer, sniffing the air around me, before whispering a heart-stopping comment directly into my ear.

"I thought Mina-san was taking her sweet time in your room. Looks like she already took care of you, huh?"

"Uh, well..."

She smelled it on me?! I couldn't believe it, but Mina-san possessed the exact same terrifyingly sharp intuition. Just like Reina-san caught me now, Mina-san would often notice the trace elements of whatever happened between me and Reina-san later.

"You and Mina-san really notice everything instantly, don't you?"

Reina-san's smile widened. With a flush of heat in her expression, she looped her arms around the back of my neck, pulling me into kissing distance as our eyes locked.

"I can read you like a book. After all, I'm always watching... Far more than you realize, Takuya-kun, my eyes are always on you."

Her tone and aura were a mirror image of Mina-san's from moments ago. I knew exactly what this meant—both of them harbored an intensely deep, almost heavy affection for me. And yet, I loved every second of it.

"So, you did it with Mina-san?"

Her words snapped me back to reality. Her smile was pleasant, but there was a faint, dark intensity swirling in her eyes. It sent a tiny shiver down my spine, but there was no denying how breathtakingly beautiful she was.

"Yeah..."

"I see... She beat me to the punch. But I'm up next. I'll make sure to spoil you rotten, so look forward to it."

Naturally, all I could do was nod. As it turned out, Reina-san was harboring a bit of jealousy, which became crystal clear the moment Mina-san left for school.

"Um... Reina-san?"

"What's wrong?"

She clung tightly to my arm, pressing herself flush against me. The moment Mina-san stepped out the door, Reina-san insisted we relax together, leaving absolutely zero room for a refusal.

"Your chest... it's pressing right against me."

"I'm doing it on purpose."

Ah, the classic response. She flashed a radiant smile, pressing her ample curves even firmer against my side. I knew she was doing this to get a rise out of me, but things didn't instantly escalate into full-blown intimacy. For the moment, she seemed content just soaking in a quiet, lazy pocket of time while staying glued to my side.

"...Haa."

"Is something wrong?"

A soft sigh escaped her lips. Surprised, I looked down at her to find a trace of melancholy clouding her expression.

"I don't know if 'childish' is the right word, but I feel a bit pathetic getting this worked up out of jealousy toward my own daughter."

"......"

"I'm sorry. You're right here with us, and no matter what happens, Mina-san and I will always be by your side. Especially since you promised you'd stay with us."

Reina-san offered a weak, vulnerable smile, and it was incredibly endearing. Usually, both she and Mina-san possessed an effortless composure that kept me playfully off-balance. Seeing her expose this fragile side of herself created a stunning contrast.

"Reina-san, you're really cute."

"Huh...?"

"To me, you've always had this amazing, mature charm. Seeing you pout and get a little down like this... it's just really cute."

"Am I supposed to take that as a compliment?"

Puffing out her cheeks, she turned her head away. I caught the briefest softening of her expression before she looked away, which only made her look even more adorable. Still, with just the two of us left in the house, the sudden silence felt a little lonely, even if the atmosphere wasn't tense.

"Reina-san?"

"Hmph."

Even her vocalizing her pout was adorable.

"What can I do to make it up to you?"

Reina-san whipped her head back around instantly.

"Let me do something naughty to you, and I'll forgive you."

"Wait... what?"

I completely didn't see that coming. Talk about a blunt, unrestrained demand. Yet, as Reina-san's seductive aura instantly flared back to life, my body gave an incredibly obvious response.

"Your body is so honest. Well? Do you want my forgiveness? Then let me serve you."

Even as she spoke, she was already sliding her camisole off her shoulders. Her flawless, pale skin came into view, followed by the click of her bra clasp as she exposed her breathtaking curves to me. Cupping her heavy breasts in her hands, she looked up at me.

"Here, let me use my chest to make you feel good. You love this, don't you? Being squeezed right between them..."

"...Yeah."

Even though it hadn't been that long since Mina-san took care of me, here I was, letting Reina-san take her turn. I felt incredibly happy and harbored zero regrets, but a part of me found this level of absolute paradise almost terrifying. Even so, there was no way I could bring myself to reject them. Because deep down, it was exactly what I wanted.

This was the reality I had grasped after enduring those agonizing days. I still wasn't entirely used to it, and a tiny part of me hesitated, but having suffered for so long only made my inner desires swell larger by the day.

"There's no need to hold back... Demand more from us. Just like we crave you, we'll take on every single bit of your desire."

Whatever logical restraint I had left was easily stripped away. Before I knew it, I was completely swept up in Reina-san's care.

"...Hehe♪"

"What's on your mind?"

"Oh, nothing... I think I've told you before, but it just makes me so happy to know I can still feel this burning passion as a woman. If I hadn't met you, Takuya-kun, I probably would have forgotten what this felt like. That's why..."

"?"

"You can never leave this place, okay?"

"...Right."

She tilted her head, her gaze locking onto me with a fixated, intense stare. It was terrifying—or at least it should have been—but her spellbinding whisper was utterly irresistible. I could feel my excitement and anticipation surging higher than ever before.

"It's really starting to heat up lately."

"Ah... yeah, definitely."

Summer was officially here, so the rising temperature made sense. Back when I lived in my tiny apartment, I used to blast the AC non-stop, but this living room had such great airflow that keeping the windows open kept things perfectly comfortable—well, until you engaged in a bit of "exercise."

"The summer festival is in two weeks," Reina-san mused. "Mina-san is going to wear her shrine maiden outfit, and let me tell you, she looks absolutely stunning. You have a lot to look forward to."

"Oh, wow...!"

Mina-san in a miko outfit... I couldn't wait to see it.

"It really brings back memories. When the previous dancer stepped down, the ritual dance was supposed to end. But Mina-san insisted on taking over, which is why the tradition is still alive today."

"I guess she really didn't want to see the village's heritage fade away."

"Most likely. I swear, I have no idea who she gets that stubborn streak from."

It's definitely you, Reina-san. She looked immensely proud talking about her daughter, which brought a warm smile to my face just listening to her.

"Yua-chan and I will be wearing yukatas too, so make sure you burn the image into your memory."

"G-Got it!"

My new life here in Minosato Village was only just beginning. I couldn't mask the grin spreading across my face, overwhelmed with joy at the thought of everything I'd get to experience alongside Mina-san and the others.

The toxic bosses, Kanzaki-san, the grinding corporate gears... leaving that life behind was the best decision I ever made. I made a silent vow to soak up every single drop of this newfound paradise.
