I'm a Kept Man for the Three Most Beautiful Girls in School - Chapter 14: Salary & Incentives

Chapter 14: Salary & Incentives

After school.

In a familiar 4LDK apartment.

“Sigh, Nakaoka was such a pain today. But the most annoying ones are the boys hanging around him who don’t even bother to speak up.”

“Yeah, you can see their ulterior motives. Can’t they be a bit more subtle?”

“Their brains are on pause, so they can’t even talk properly.”

The three were still upset about Nakaoka’s behavior during the fifth-period social studies group assignment. 

While eating the homemade pizza toast that Tsu-chan made, I silently waited for their anger to subside.

Once the conversation calmed down a bit.

“Khei. Those boys are really pathetic, aren’t they?”

Chikage said, staring at me with a moist gaze while munching on a cheese-laden pizza toast.

“It’s bad manners to talk with your mouth full.”

I gently scolded.

“Bwaha, you got told off, Chikage.”

“Tsukasa, you should watch out for that too.”

“No need to point that out now.”

“Mmph… mm.”

Chikage mumbled, hastily finishing her pizza toast. 

She then took a big gulp of orange juice.

“Kei, you seem more manly now.”

She corrected herself.

“Really?”

“Definitely. Even other girls were talking about you. It’s a bit annoying.”

Tsu-chan and Sakura nodded in agreement with Chikage.

“I think it’s just bad attention… You know I don’t usually speak up much, so it’s not like I want to stand out.”

“Kei-kun, you’re clueless. Those reactions weren’t about that.”

“Yeah, right? You thought so too, Sakurako? Well, Kei doesn’t realize it, so he gets those kinds of reactions.”

…Being called clueless is a bit annoying.

Sure, I’m aware to some extent, but I avoid those kinds of topics to avoid being called a flirt.

“Maybe it’s time to use some ‘force’ to make it clear that Okeihan belongs to us.”

F-Force? 

Tsu-chan said something ominous, then licked the pizza sauce off her fingers.

“We have something we want to give you, Okeihan. It’s a present from the three of us.”

“A present?”

What could it be? 

Tsu-chan pulled a thick brown envelope out of the desk drawer.

“Here, Okeihan.”

“You worked hard, Kei.”

“Kei-kun, you did a great job.”

As I took the present from the three of them, I thanked them.

(It’s heavy…)

The brown envelope felt very heavy.

I opened it.

Inside was… a large amount of ten-thousand-yen bills.

It was my first time seeing a bundle of bills with a band around it.

I swallowed hard.

“W-What is this… money, right?”

“Of course, it’s your salary! This is for 25 days of work. Since you worked an average of 8 hours a day, with an hourly wage of 5000 yen, that’s 40,000 yen a day. Multiply that by 25 days, and you get 1,000,000 yen. You can use it however you want, and we’ll keep paying you the same amount as we agreed. Plus, there’s an incentive on top of that.”

Incentive… so, a bonus.

“I-I can’t accept this much…”

“Just take it. You need to earn money for your little sister, right?”

“B-But…”

Seeing I was still in shock, Tsu-chan took my hand and pressed the envelope into it.

“Okeihan, do you trust us?”

“Yes… of course.”

I answered immediately.

“Then from now on, love us lots. The more you love us, the more Chikage, Sakurako, and I will keep showing our love to you. Then you’ll be much happier.”

…。

“We’ll give you anything you want and do anything for you… just be honest with us.”

“We’re not trying to tie you down with money. But we’ll use whatever we have to protect you from people like Kokoa.”

“After graduation, I could support you, Kei-kun. If you love me a lot, I’ll work hard for you.”

“Hey, Sakurako, don’t try to hog him all to yourself.”

“No sneaking ahead.”

“Chikage, you’re the last person who should say that.”

Each of them is trying to spoil me in their own way. …Even though I’m the one who needs to work the hardest. I can’t thank them enough.

I might not be ready to fully understand and accept ‘love’ yet. But still, I want to respond to their feelings as much as I can.

It’s not because of the large amount of money in front of me.

Clutching the envelope with my salary and incentives, I made a firm decision to face their feelings honestly.

A total of 1.5 million yen.

If Dad and Akari knew I earned this much in a month, they’d be shocked.

—… I guess this makes me a kept man, doesn’t it?

Kei Kyosaka, fifteen years old. 

I’m currently at a crossroads in my life.

※

Ah…

Kissing the three most beautiful girls in school all at once, I feel like the luckiest person in the world.

On a king-sized bed, I’m closely entwined with Chikage, Tsu-chan, and Sakura, sharing an intensely stimulating moment as our tongues intertwine. I feel their warmth against my body and taste their sweet saliva as I respond with my own.

Smooch… slurp… smooch. Slurp, squish.

The wet sounds of our kisses fill the room. 

Our mingled saliva becomes a warm, thick soup, its flavor both clear and rich. I swallow this luscious juice eagerly, my heart pounding harder with each gulp.

Thump, thump… thump, thump…

“”…Mmm…””

Yes, my daily life was perfectly happy, and I believed I could continue enjoying a peaceful high school life with everyone—

Until the day I was kidnapped by Keage-san during the field trip.
