Chapter 378: The Real Troublemaker
In Haruto's memory, the Uzaki family belonged to a mainstream series, but there were plenty of derivative doujinshi, and their plots were anything but mainstream—more like something straight out of an adult series.
Indeed, the looks and figures of this mother and her two daughters were top-tier heroine material even by adult anime standards.
Haruto had been protecting the Uzaki family openly and covertly for some time. The troublemakers came in waves, like chives - if not uprooted completely, they'd sprout again after a few days.
Haruto felt he had been acting according to his whims, and the influence of his inner demon had indeed diminished considerably.
At least now he wouldn't constantly worry that the Uzaki mother and daughters would be in danger without him around.
But this only meant he was facing his inner demon directly - overcoming it and completely erasing this negative influence remained a distant goal.
This situation couldn't continue. Haruto couldn't keep solving the Uzaki family's troubles indefinitely, nor could he keep tempering his heart through methods that showed no visible results.
Thus, after helping Uzaki Yanagi dismiss yet another young man trying to hit on her, Haruto finally decided to try an idea he'd had for a long time.
However, before that, he intended to consult with Chisato Hasegawa first.
Chisato Hasegawa's method of reaching god-tier hadn't involved tempering her mental state, and since everyone's inner demons were different, guidance wasn't possible anyway.
But Haruto just wanted to ensure that even if this method didn't work, it wouldn't worsen his inner demon - something Chisato Hasegawa could definitely determine.
As for what this method was...
Actually, Haruto had tried this approach when he first arrived in this world, but back then he was too weak and didn't understand the underlying logic of the Cuckold Protagonist Template, leading to failure.
The method was simple, to put it briefly: become the troublemaker himself.
Back then, Haruto had thought about changing himself and joining delinquent groups, but that failed.
Looking back now, it wasn't that the method was unworkable - he had likely done it wrong.
Troublemakers and delinquents couldn't be equated, though most delinquents were troublemakers. Combined with Haruto being in a school environment at the time, he had misjudged.
In reality, many works depicted troublemakers as successful individuals.
Teachers, company presidents, handsome famous male models, and seemingly pure, kind young men - all could be troublemakers.
Compared to those petty delinquent types, these could be called premium troublemakers.
Realizing this, it wasn't hard to understand that determining whether someone was a troublemaker had little to do with their usual social status, identity, appearance, or behavior.
As long as they NTRed someone's girlfriend, wife, sister, younger sister, or even just the female in a mutually attracted pair, they could be called troublemakers.
The methods and purposes didn't matter either - there were no restrictions.
Some women were naturally promiscuous and would take the bait with just a little seduction from a moderately attractive man.
Some had their weaknesses exposed - like the classic Japanese question: "Ma'am, you wouldn't want others to know about this, would you?"
Others involved drugging, coercion, deception, threats...
Haruto wouldn't use those last methods, but the first two approaches were acceptable.
Of course, if using coercion and the other party refused, he wouldn't actually ruin their life.
He just wondered if, in Japan's environment, such fiercely chaste beauties could exist.
After Haruto shared his thoughts with Chisato Hasegawa, the sexy school doctor with long black hair smiled slightly and said, "Haruto, go ahead and do it. There won't be any negative effects."
"Sis Chisato, are you really sure there won't be any problems?" Haruto still felt uneasy and asked again.
"Go ahead with confidence, there won't be any issues. You must already have a target in mind, right?"
Chisato Hasegawa's voice was calm, yet it seemed to carry a subtle implication.
Lost in an inexplicable excitement, Haruto didn't notice it.
"Yeah, I've decided to test it out on Hana's mother."
ba yi si jiu ling san qi ba jiu
The thought of that charming, squint-eyed mature beauty made his heart instantly burn with desire.
Recently, his relationship with the Uzaki family had progressed rapidly. No matter how picky Uzaki Fujio was, he couldn't find any faults with Haruto.
Well, that was assuming Haruto's chaotic private life remained undisclosed.
As their bond deepened rapidly, Uzaki Yanagi, who had already fallen for him almost at first sight, could no longer restrain her emotions and often subtly tempted Haruto, whether intentionally or not.
Her changes naturally didn't escape the notice of Hana Uzaki and Uzaki Tsuki, leading to a serious discussion among the mother and her two daughters.
As women, they could understand Uzaki Yanagi's feelings.
Hana Uzaki was already committed, having willingly given everything to Haruto.
As for Uzaki Tsuki, this beautiful mature woman...
If she hadn't already borne three children, she would have divorced immediately if Haruto asked, just to be with him.
But with Hana and Haruto already involved, Uzaki Tsuki could only bury this thought deep in her heart.
However, while she could hide her feelings, the teenage beauty Uzaki Yanagi couldn't.
The initial discussion didn't go smoothly until Hana revealed Haruto's complicated relationships with women. Eventually, the three reached an agreement.
Regardless of how things developed between the two sisters and Haruto, they would first work together to keep this secret from the two men in the family.
Uzaki Tsuki didn't know what she was thinking. Logically, she should have advised her daughters to stay away from a player like Haruto, but instead, she not only refrained from advising against it but also began entertaining some inappropriate thoughts.
If Haruto had been involved with so many mothers and daughters simultaneously, couldn't she also be with him alongside Hana, or even including Yanagi...
Just fantasizing along these lines made this sexy, beautiful mature woman unable to resist pleasuring herself several times.
At Hana Uzaki's age, desires were naturally strong, but excessive exercise only attracted men and could lower testosterone levels.
Since Uzaki Yanagi's birth, Uzaki Fujio had ceased all intimate relations with her.
It was no surprise she was drawn to Haruto, especially since he clearly had intentions toward her.
Even though Haruto tried hard to restrain himself, his occasional glances didn't escape Uzaki Tsuki's notice, making the sexy mature woman blush and her heart race.
She seemed to sense Haruto's reservations and, bound by family values and morals, never crossed that line herself.
If Haruto's intentions didn't change, the two would likely never have an impure encounter.
Haruto already understood Uzaki Tsuki well and knew her needs.
Moreover, this beautiful mature woman sometimes had sudden airheaded moments, accidentally revealing her fantasies, which only made Haruto desire her more.
So, when finalizing his plan, he listed Uzaki Tsuki as his primary target.
There are actually quite a few candidates who meet Haruto's requirements, such as adult video characters like Sakura's mother, Kurashiki Reina's mother, and Obata Yui's mother.
If you want to increase the difficulty, there are also powerful beauties like Grayfia, Serafall, Raphaeline, and Sapphire.
Serafall is a siscon, but as long as she has someone she likes, regardless of their gender, it should count as NTR.
Of course, Sapphire and Raphaeline who gave birth as virgins naturally don't count either.
Without delay, now that the plan to combat desire with desire was confirmed, Haruto quickly sprang into action.
"Chisato-san, I'll take my leave first."
Haruto pondered how to be a proper "bad boy" as he lowered his head and left the school infirmary.
After he left, Chisato Hasegawa extended her slender finger and gently pushed up her red-framed glasses, speaking in a voice only she could hear.
"Haruto, I hope through this you can recognize your true inner feelings..."
As the goddess who governs love and desire, she had already discovered where Haruto's real problem lay.
The truth was, Haruto already had feelings for Uzaki Tsuki and those other beauties who already had partners - he had even realized it himself, but had been unwilling to admit it.
As the saying goes, everyone hates the "bad boy," but everyone wants to be the "bad boy."
Once Haruto admitted his true inner feelings, his inner demons would collapse on their own.
As for eliminating the negative effects, it might take some time, but as long as he persisted, it could definitely be completely resolved.
