Mio had come to the pocket dimension, so I was forcibly summoned.
"Here. These."
Today she brought a huge stack of recipe books.
The electronic dictionary was amazing, but it didn't have that many entries for simple dishes. This was a huge help.
"Thank you, Mio."
"Yeah."
Mio was her usual cool self.
I was genuinely grateful.
"Mio, I'm really happy. Let me do something to thank you…"
"Don't worry about it."
"But still… it must have cost a lot. I feel bad, or rather…"
Suddenly Mio's expression grew darker and darker.
This was…
"…You still haven't fixed that attitude even after we broke up…?"
Even after breaking up, huh.
"Stuff like 'a man has to provide' or 'a man should treat his woman'…"
Ah. Landmine. I had stepped right on Mio's landmine.
"I told you I hate that kind of thing!!!"
Yes. There were many reasons we broke up.
But the biggest mismatch was right here.
Mio was older and earned way more.
I was younger, still doing part-time work with a small income.
So I had tried my hardest to become a man worthy of her.
But Mio hated that.
"I don't care if you're part-time! Or younger! Or earning less! I said all I wanted was for you to cherish the time we spent together!!"
That was exactly it.
I had worked so hard to become shop manager and poured everything into my job so I could stand beside her.
But to Mio, that effort itself was the problem.
"I'm sorry, but that attitude is the worst kind of gender discrimination! What's wrong with it?! Income doesn't decide a person's worth! I just wanted to be with you!"
That was the kind of person Mio was.
We could earn money together.
There was no need to push myself.
More than anything, she wanted us to value our time as a couple.
But I couldn't do that.
I was a man.
A man was supposed to support the family.
At our core, our values simply didn't match.
The reason I was doing so well in this world was because the idea that "a man's first duty is to earn outside the home" fit perfectly with my own beliefs.
"I don't need any thanks! I'm doing this because I want to!"
With that, Mio slipped under the futon in the pocket dimension.
She was clearly done talking and ready to sleep.
"…Mio—"
"…" She ignored me.
"Um… I can produce all kinds of things from my palm, you know…"
"Not interested."
Instant rejection.
"W-well, for example, gold powder…"
*Shhh*
It poured out smoothly.
"See? If you exchange this gold powder—"
"Why would an office lady be exchanging gold powder? I'd get suspected immediately."
Fair point.
"I don't need that kind of thing. I'm doing this because I like it! I'm not looking for anything in return!"
*Gabiin*
『You two somehow managed to date with that kind of dynamic?』
The penguin's laid-back voice drifted over.
Shut up, penguin. And stop eavesdropping.
"…I'm sleeping."
Mio turned over again.
*Poof*
I was sent back to the original world.
"…Well, that's why we broke up, I guess."
Yeah. If things had gone well, we wouldn't have split.
Next time I see her, I'll apologize properly.
She'll… meet me, right? Yeah.
For now, I had business at the Cooking Guild. I headed to the guild master's place.
"Guild maaaaster~"
"Oh, Izumi! Perfect timing!"
Today we were going together to check out a potential second cabaret location.
A noble who had heard rumors about our place had approached us.
"Would you like to buy my secondary residence?"
"Oooooohhhhh!!!! Amazing!!!!"
It was huge! What the hell was this place?!
"How many people can fit in here?"
Even the guild master looked stunned. Size really was justice.
The best part? It was right next to our current mansion.
The entrances faced opposite directions, so you had to go around, but—
"The foundation here is solid. With the lord's permission, we could even connect them underground."
Insane!!!
That meant we could move between the two without ever stepping outside.
There was no better property than this.
"I definitely want it…"
"…Actually, I have some gambling debts. I need to sell it to pay them off."
You okay there, noble guy?
"Including that, the price is 3000 gold."
Three billion yen.
"…"
Even for me, that was…
I had enough to buy the hot spring resort, but three billion was still a stretch. Probably.
"…I'll go consult with the bank first."
The guild master strongly advised me to buy it.
It really was the best option, but three billion…
Three billion…
Ah! That's it!
An idea hit me, and I headed straight for the high-class residential district.
I went to the upscale wholesaler that still handled Sekauma.
"Good day. It's not a delivery day, is it?"
Poker face.
My impression with him still wasn't great, but he clearly respected me enough. He stopped what he was doing and came right over.
"Sorry for the sudden visit. There's something I need to tell you immediately."
"Oh? Business?"
"It's a different kind of alcohol from Sekauma, but it has a similar impact and can be mass-produced."
Sekauma could also be mass-produced, but we chose not to. It was mostly bluff, but the man quickly closed the shop and listened.
"Please try it first."
I handed him a bottled sample.
He drank carefully, checking the aroma, the mouthfeel, and then—
"…Magnificent. The same powerful impact as Sekauma. Exactly."
He let out a deep sigh.
"…As you know, the fourth son who took over Sekauma after King Lodi has no idea how to handle it properly."
It was clear now just how excellent King Lodi had been.
The pricing was completely arbitrary.
At that rate, it would crash sooner or later.
"We've built a good relationship. How about it? This one would be an exclusive contract."
"…How much?"
Yes. This was the key.
"It can be stored in barrels. One barrel = 100 gold."
Ten million yen per barrel!
One barrel was about 60 liters — roughly 80 to 100 bottles.
In other words—
"One bottle for 1 gold?!"
He shouted.
Exactly.
Extremely cheap compared to Sekauma.
"You should be able to sell it well. However, the issue is production volume. It has to be made in large batches or there's too much waste. At minimum, I'd need to prepare at least 10 barrels…"
The man nodded.
"Could you wait here a moment?"
He called the banker I also used.
They talked in the next room. I could hear them.
Basically:
"Lend me the money! This is guaranteed profit!"
It was a gamble, so I wasn't sure, but luckily they got quite excited.
And then—
"We'll take 20 barrels."
2000 gold!
Two billion yen!
Yes! Now I could get the mansion!
I returned to the mansion with a big grin.
I was a little tired, though.
The shop was closed today.
"Time to sleep~"
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
(Mio's POV)
"Aaaaaahhhhh♡♡♡"
I was masturbating furiously.
I couldn't focus on work at all.
The guilt from arguing with Izumi had somehow turned into overwhelming sexual frustration.
"…Uuuu…"
But today I really couldn't face him.
I ended up sleeping alone in my own futon.
It was a dream. I knew it was a dream.
This was just a dream, right?
"Aaaaaahhhhh♡♡♡"
My entire body was covered in body piercings and tattoos.
Obscene words were inked all over my skin.
Not just scribbles.
Permanent tattoos. Marks that would never come off.
"You can't work like this anymore, can you?"
Izumi was there, smiling gently.
In this dream, he was the one who had done this to me.
He had locked me up and covered me in tattoos.
"…I can't go outside anymore♡♡♡"
The tattoos on my face and neck read:
"Lewd Bitch♡"
"FUCK ME♡"
There was no way I could walk around in public like this.
I crawled on all fours like a dog and pressed my forehead to the floor.
"I am Izumi-sama's♡♡♡ personal pussy slave♡♡♡"
He placed his foot on my head.
"Then you can say it, right?"
His voice was kind.
So I obeyed.
"Y-Yes♡♡♡ Even though Mio is a worthless bottom-tier slave whose only value is her cunt♡ I dared to go against Cock-sama♡♡♡ So please♡♡♡"
He ground his foot into my head.
The humiliation burned.
But it had already become pure pleasure.
I could never leave Izumi again.
I would be kept as a female slave for the rest of my life.
That thought made me so happy that—
*Shhhhh*
I even pissed myself.
"Oooooohhhhh♡♡♡"
"You came just from being stepped on."
He moved his foot to my mouth.
I carefully licked and sucked each toe.
"Now spread that cunt."
My pussy.
It was in terrible shape.
My pubic hair had been left completely unkempt, growing wild.
The lips were swollen and stretched wide open, giving off a sweaty, lewd scent.
"Say it."
At his command—
"…Yes♡♡♡ Please bless Mio's perverted cunt♡♡♡ with lots of thick, rich cum♡♡♡"
The moment the words left my mouth, deep inside my body—
"Oh♡♡♡ Oooooohhhhh♡♡♡"
My womb went wild.
I didn't understand why.
But my womb was trembling with pure joy.
"Your womb is begging for cum."
Is that true?
Yes♡♡♡
I want it♡♡♡
"You said you refuse to work as a woman and just want to keep having my babies forever."
Yes♡♡♡
I want to have lots and lots of Izumi's babies♡♡♡
So many♡♡♡ Sooo many♡♡♡
"Hyaai♡♡♡ Mio is♡♡♡ going to have so many babies♡♡♡ I'll only give birth to babies♡♡♡ I'll become a pussy slave who can't do anything else♡♡♡"
I want babies♡♡♡
Izumi's babies♡♡♡
I'll have so many♡♡♡
"Higyiiiiiiiiiiii♡♡♡♡♡"
His cock pushed into my cunt.
I squirted everywhere in pure joy.
I was done.
If I could have this cum, I didn't need anything else.
Pride, dignity, self-respect—
None of that mattered anymore.
"Baby♡♡♡ Please give me a baby♡♡♡ Babyyyyy♡♡♡"
And then—
"I'm cummingggggggggggg!!!!!"
Feeling the flood of cum pouring into my womb, I climaxed hard.
