Chapter 15: To Give Is a Woman’s Honor

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

After I finished talking with Maria-san, the two of us headed to a government office called the Management Office Subdivision to submit our partner application. The woman at the counter was clearly surprised, but she kindly explained the details to us.

Basically it went like this.

『A partner contract can be terminated by the male, but not by the female. A woman in a partner contract cannot interact with other men without her partner’s permission. If the female partner is an adult and the male is a minor, that female partner is basically prohibited from being involved in his school life.』

What the hell is this…?

There were a few other minor rules, but that was the gist of it. It was all completely in favor of men. Was this really okay?

“Um, excuse me. What does this part mean—‘If the female partner is an adult and the male is a minor, that female partner is basically prohibited from being involved in his school life’?”

“Oh, that. Well, the legal age of adulthood is 18. So getting involved with a male under that age is a clear violation of morality, right? Men already dislike women, and if we let them into such personal spaces, they’d just hate us even more.”

Is that how it works…?

“But what if the male is the one who initiates it? In my case, we actually met through the ‘Men’s Exclusive Channel,’ and she came to the school because of that…”

“If the man initiates, that’s allowed. The rules are just a general guideline, so there are exceptions. Normally, no male would ever call a woman to his dorm just because they’re partners. I hate to even ask this, but… Are you being threatened by the woman next to you? If that’s the case, we can get you help immediately.”

“No, that’s not it…”

“Really? I hope so… Still, seducing a minor? You’ve got some nerve! Taking advantage of such a pure-looking boy… What’d you use? Money? Power?”

“I did no such thing!”

“Well then, fine. The paperwork is complete. Congratulations on scoring such a young partner… Now get out of here.”

For some reason, she was being incredibly rude…

◆◆◆

“Maria-san, are you okay?”

“I’m completely fine. I expected to be showered with insults for becoming the partner of a minor.”

“Is that just how it is…?”

“Yes, it’s only natural to attract resentment. And really, when you think about it, a boy at the age when he typically dislikes women agreeing to a partner contract… It’s only logical to assume you agreed to make me your partner through power harassment or money… Or maybe coercion. Anyway, their reaction is understandable.”

“Even someone as beautiful as you, Maria-san?”

“That’s exactly it… A cute younger boy flattering a woman or even… Desiring her? It’s just not something that happens normally. I do have both power and money, so I can’t really blame people for thinking I used them.”

“And despite the situation, you’re really okay with becoming my partner?”

“Only people at the bottom of the barrel would say something so vulgar. Once you actually have power or wealth, you realize that men are the one thing you can’t buy with either. The ones who think otherwise are fools… Anyway, I couldn’t be happier to be your partner, Ceres-sama.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

“Well then, I’ll take you back to school… Oh, right. Before I forget, please give me your Security Card.”

“Okay. What for?”

“I deposited 300 million wen into it. Let me know anytime you need more. Also, during your time at school, I won’t be able to summon you… So, if you could see me maybe once every two weeks, I’d be really happy.”

“Is that really enough? I mean, we’re partners…”

“To be honest, I’d love to see you every day. But unless there’s some exceptional circumstance like before, I’m not allowed into the school. So realistically, the only time we can meet is on weekends. And I’d feel awful interfering with your school life just for my own sake…”

Is that how it is…?

“I see. But I’m kind of clingy, so I think I’ll be calling you a bit more often. And I really don’t need this much money.”

“No, no. To give is a woman’s honor. Being a partner and not giving anything would be disgraceful, so please accept it. Um… Also, since we won’t see each other for a little while…”

Maria-san, blushing, glanced over at the LR.

“Well then… Shall we go?”

“Yes.”

In the end, I spent time with Maria-san in the LR right up until my curfew and she took me back to the school.

When I returned to school, I was pretty exhausted, so I headed back to my room to rest.

But when I got there, I found Katie waiting in front of my door.

“What’s up?”

“It’s not a good place to talk out here. Can I come in? I promise I won’t do anything naughty…”

“I don’t mind. What’s going on?”

I invited her in, had her sit on the sofa, and poured her some juice in a glass.

“Here you go.”

“Gulp… Ahh, thanks! So, Ceres-kun, you know how we had sex the other day, and you came inside me?”

“Yeah…We did.”

Hearing a girl say “came inside” was kind of embarrassing…

“So, I went to the Sperm Extraction Department and submitted the report, and ta-da!”

Katie pulled out a shiny silver card.

“What’s that card?”

“This is a ‘Superior Female’ certificate. It gets you discounts at stores and helps you when job hunting… Oh, and you also get a reward bonus of 100,000 Wen.”

She looked really happy. But… Girls had to report it when you finish inside them? That was kind of embarrassing.

“That’s great.”

“Yeah! So, since I got a reward, I want to treat you tomorrow—Sunday—as a thank-you. Let’s go eat something delicious!”

“Sounds good. Are you sure?”

“Leave it to me! I’ll even get you a present if you want.”

“Then I’ll look forward to it tomorrow.”

Katie kept glancing at my lower half, but today, I already…. Ah, that stare was truly unfair.

“Oh my! Ceres-kun, that part of you… It’s getting pretty lively already!”

The moment she crossed her legs to flash her panties and opened her shirt to show cleavage—this was bound to happen.

“You’re doing it on purpose, aren’t you? …Well, whatever. Are you going to stay over at my room tonight?”

“Yup! I won’t let you sleep tonight… Just kidding.”

Katie stuck out her tongue playfully.
