Jobless Rising! ~I’ve Become a NEET. I Acquired Lewd Skills and Lived a Life of Sex in the Other World and in Japan. Before I Knew it, I Was Impregnating A Harem of Ladies?!~ - Chapter 76: Minato-chan’s Reward & Amari-chan’s Undercover Investigation

Chapter 76: Minato-chan’s Reward & Amari-chan’s Undercover Investigation

“…It’s getting late.”

“Yeah…”

Ugh… My head’s throbbing from all the knowledge crammed in so fast…

“It’s about the time when Oni energy corruption tends to intensify… Touya, we’re going on patrol now.”

“…Huh?”

“Huh, nothing! You’re my attendant and a Tényōshū apprentice, aren’t you? Hurry up and follow me.”

I carefully chewed over Minato’s words. My foggy brain almost nodded along without thinking.

“…Wait, hold up! I haven’t even officially joined Tényō Development yet! Why do I have to go on patrol already!?”

“Oh? You may not have joined Tényō Development, but you are my attendant. And if I say I’m going on patrol, it’s only natural for you to come along.”

“Nobody told me that!”

“It’s written in the employment documents. You signed and submitted them, didn’t you?”

“…!”

…For real!? I didn’t read a thing…! To think those papers had a trap like that…!

I mean, when selling cars, we hand customers those long contracts full of fine print… Nobody reads those! Hell, even I never read them when I was handing them out!

“Normally, minors on duty patrol in groups. I’m on duty tonight, but since you’re here, I didn’t bring anyone else.”

“…So if I weren’t here, you’d be wandering the city alone at night?”

“Yes. I told you to keep tonight free, didn’t I? Or, after signing the papers, are you planning to just wave me off?”

Ngh…! Sure, I messed up there, but…!

Plus, Minato’s my boss. This could directly affect my performance review…!

(Tch…! If I play my cards right at Tényō Development, I can aim for a higher salary…! And I need Minato’s evaluation to stay top-notch…!)

More money means unlocking ero-skills faster…! And living a better life here…!

“F… Fine…”

“Oh? You sound awfully reluctant.”

“I understand, Minato-sama! I’ll accompany you from now on!”

“Good.”

Dammit! Talk about a sneak attack…! We settled the bill and stepped outside. Minato met my gaze.

“Hehe. But if you work hard, I might give you a special reward.”

“A reward?”

“Yes. If I deem you’ve done well, I’ll grant one request of yours, whatever it is.”

“…!”

W-What…!? Did she just say… whatever!?

“Whatever…?”

“Yes. …What’s wrong? Your breathing’s getting heavy.”

“N-No…! It’s nothing…!”

So… this is it, huh…!? A chance to have consensual creampie sex with Minato…! When a girl says “whatever,” I’m taking it literally…!

Minato’s tempting offer completely shut down any rational thoughts like “I’d feel bad for Kurumi.”

Yeah, can’t help it! I’m just a guy driven by lust!

With that, my motivation skyrocketed from a moment ago.

…If this is Minato’s calculated move, she’s a genius at boosting subordinate morale and productivity.

Motomune Amari’s Perspective

Motomune Amari was at the club “Shooting Star” with her friends Kasumi and Akana. The place was packed, lights flashing wildly to the pounding music.

They stood at a table, chatting with three guys.

“Whoa, so you’re all from Seijo Kotozakura Academy!”

“No way! That’s, like, a super elite girls’ school!”

“No alcohol for minors, though~”

One of the guys was Kasumi’s acquaintance, someone she’d met here before.

“You’re all so cute~!”

“For real! …Hey, what’s that thing Amari-chan’s carrying?”

Kasumi answered for her.

“Amari’s into kendo, believe it or not!”

“What, really!? So that’s a bamboo sword in there!?”

“Nice! Yo, Shū, wanna get spanked with it?”

“Why me!?”

“Shooting Star” allows under-20s until 9 p.m. But as Amari scanned the crowd, she spotted plenty of underage girls, some clearly drinking, their ages disguised by makeup.

(…What’s so fun about this?)

Amari kept her distance, but Kasumi was into it, and Akana seemed to be having fun too.

Both had been at all-girls schools since middle school, with fewer chances to interact with guys compared to Amari, a Tényōshū member.

Here, guys showered them with unconditional praise. For young girls unused to male attention, their brains churned out excitement from the novel stimulation.

Spending so much time at school probably left them feeling stifled, suppressed in some way.

This place offered endless flattery, boosting their self-esteem. That thrill translated into “fun.”

Even Akana, initially hesitant, was now unwinding, letting go of her family stress and starting to enjoy herself.

Meanwhile, Amari nodded along to the guys’ chatter, keeping an eye on her surroundings. Then she noticed a man approaching.

“Hey, Kasumi-chan! You came back!”

“Oh, Ryō-san!”

The man wore the club’s uniform, clearly a staff member. He joined the conversation casually.

“So, a VIP room just opened up. Since you brought friends, why not use it?”

“But… I don’t have the money…”

“No worries! It’s barely used anyway. I’ll clear it with the manager!”

Ryō flipped on his radio, bringing the mic to his mouth.

“Room Zero, please. Yup, for six. …Yeah, exactly. …All set! Come this way!”

“Woo! Score!”

“Lucky! VIP rooms aren’t easy to get!”

Led by Ryō, Amari and the others walked through the club, guided to a staircase leading underground.

“Huh…? Underground?” Kasumi asked.

“Yup. We’ve got a few VIP rooms, but the free one right now is down there.”

“I used it before—super spacious and comfy!”

“Really…?”

It seemed to actually be underground. Kasumi relaxed, but Amari narrowed her eyes.

(A faint trace of Oni energy…! It’s… lingering…? I’m not sure, but something’s definitely up ahead…!)

On guard, she descended the stairs and reached a door. Ryō opened it, ushering them inside.

“Come on in!”

“It’s so dark!”

“Hang on, I’ll get the lights.”

As they stepped in, the lights flicked on. At the same moment, a man’s voice came from the back of the room.

“Oni Eye Technique: Binding Gaze.”

The instant the room lit up, the eyes of the man on the sofa glowed eerily. For the three who met his gaze, the change was instantaneous.

“What…!?”

“Eh…!?”

Amari immediately sensed a technique being cast on her.

Her body froze in place, unable to move. Reflexively, she channeled pre-prepared Kyōshin energy to counter the effect.

She locked eyes with the man, her own widening in shock.

(This…! An Oni Eye technique…!? No way… This guy…!)

Only Oni at Hakuki (White Oni) rank or higher can use Oni Eye techniques. That meant the man before her was no longer human—a true Oni.

He spoke to Ryō and the others.

“Good work, guys. This is Gold Rank time now. Scram.”

“Y-Yes, sir.”

“Sorry, Kasumi-chan…”

“See ya~”

“Man, I wanna hit Gold Rank soon!”

Ryō and the three guys who’d been chatting with them left. In their place, several other men entered.

“Whoa, they’re actually cute!”

“These are the Seijo Kotozakura girls?”

“Yo, I’m getting pumped!”

Amari, still unable to move, pieced together the situation.

(The staff, those three guys…! They’re in on it…! Definitely Ryūseikai…! And…!)

The men, called Gold Rank, all radiated clear Oni energy.

(Mostly Tōki or Hakki class…! So many…!)

Their purpose in luring them here was revealed by the Oni.

“Man, I was planning a fun group sex filming party… Why the hell’s a Tényōshū girl here!?”
