Final Chapter – The Best Girlfriend

“…Who are you?”

The woman—my aunt—gave Shizuku a suspicious look.

In response, Shizuku stood with regal poise and offered her a smile worthy of a goddess.

No… it wasn’t just a smile. It brimmed with wrath—a terrifying smile cloaked in elegance.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Yukimori Shizuku, Inori-kun’s girlfriend.”

“I… I see. Thank you for looking after my son.”

Overwhelmed by Shizuku’s presence, the woman faltered.

It honestly felt disgusting hearing her refer to me as her “son”.

“Shizuku, why are you here…?”

“The Intelligence Division contacted me. They said your aunt had approached you, so I had Asuka-chan and the others take over and rushed back.”

…Sorry. I do appreciate you flying over, but—wait, Intelligence Division? Since when do we have that? No one told me.

My aunt, clearly displeased with our whispered exchange, furrowed her brow and cleared her throat.

“…So, Miss Yukimori. I’m speaking to my son right now. I’d appreciate it if you didn’t interfere in a family matter.”

“I will interfere. His problems are mine. …No matter who you are—even if you’re his aunt—I won’t forgive anyone who tries to hurt Inori-kun.”

Their eyes locked in a fierce clash.

And then, my aunt slowly let out a breath.

“You’re sticking your nose into a family matter without knowing a thing… How naive can you be?”

“I do know. Everything. But I ask you not to drag Inori-kun into your issues. It’s repulsive.”

“…What did you say?”

Her eyes sharpened like blades.

Shizuku, still smiling sweetly, reached her hand toward Miyabe-san, who had silently stood by her side.

“Reina-san.”

“Yes, Young Lady. Here you go.”

In Miyabe-san’s hands were several brown envelopes.

She pulled out the contents, revealing pages densely packed with text.

“These are documents compiled by the Yukimori family’s Intelligence Division regarding Inori-kun. Among them is information about your family as well.”

“Documents…?”

“Akane Tonochi. Maiden name, Akane Makita. Biological younger sister of Makita Rin, Inori-kun’s mother. Thirty-eight years old. Works part-time. Has twin daughters who will start high school next year. Your husband is a section manager at Snow Mountain Co., Ltd.—a company managed by the Yukimori family, as you may know.”

Wait, really? I had no idea.

Judging by my aunt’s stunned expression, neither did she.

“As a direct descendant of the Yukimori family, do you understand what could happen to your husband with just one word from me?”

“I-I…”

“And there’s more. …You’re in debt, aren’t you?”

“!!?”

My aunt trembled violently, her face turning bright red.

Judging from her reaction, it was obviously true.

“Shizuku, how much debt are we talking?”

“Roughly ten million yen. Spent on a lover from her part-time job and some hosts.”

“Ten mil—!?”

“With interest, it’s even more now. Winter Financial Group—also run by a Yukimori relative, by the way.”

Yukimori family’s got its hands in everything, huh?

Looking at my aunt, her face had gone pale. She clutched her own arms to keep her shaking body still.

Having your secrets exposed like this… and by the heiress of the Yukimori family no less—that’s beyond terrifying.

“T-This is all fabricated…!”

“It’s not. We also have copies of the loan contracts with your handwriting, verified by a handwriting analyst. Plus, photos of you visiting host clubs. And if you’d like, I can show you pictures and videos of you with your lover… right next to your sleeping husband. Want to see?”

Shizuku turned the envelope upside down, spilling out a flood of photos onto the floor.

Panicking, my aunt scrambled to gather them up and started tearing them to shreds. Not that it mattered with the data still backed up somewhere.

Watching her crawl on the floor, Shizuku looked down on her as though observing trash.

“If you leave now and never contact Inori-kun again, we’ll let this go. But if you ever approach him again, we’ll send this evidence to the relevant parties and seize your assets over your debts. …If you underestimate the Yukimori name, it’ll ruin your life.”

With a smile that could freeze hell itself, she delivered her final warning.

Apparently at her limit, my aunt forced her trembling legs into motion and quickly fled the apartment.

…Was it over? It’s over… right?

“Haa… Shizuku, thank you.”

“Not at all. Compared to the power games in high society, this was nothing.”

She’s unshakable. That’s the Yukimori family for you.

Ah—crap. Now I’m the one whose legs are shaking…

Just as I nearly collapsed, Shizuku caught me in her arms, supporting me gently.

“…I’m so pathetic.”

“Not at all. Inori-kun is the coolest person in the world.”

“Now that’s exaggerating.”

“Hardly. If I say you’re the coolest, then you are. No one’s allowed to argue.”

“…Thanks.”

I wrapped my arms around her waist and slowly stroked her head.

This girl—Yukimori Shizuku—cares so deeply for me.

She’s cute, a little airheaded, considerate… the perfect girlfriend.

I’ll make her happy. No matter what.

With that vow, I kissed Shizuku.

──

“Oh, right. I’m fine forgiving the debts and affairs, but I’m not letting the break-in and bankbook theft slide. I’ve already reported her to the police.”

“Way to bury the lede.”

Epilogue

“Welcome, Inori-kun, to my humble abode!”

One day, when I arrived at Shizuku’s house, she was waiting at the entrance with a radiant smile.

“You’ve said that before… I’ve been here plenty of times already.”

“What are you saying! Do you know how long I’ve waited for this day!?”

“Since yesterday.”

Right. That whole incident with her mother had happened just yesterday.

After that, Shizuku threw a fit and insisted on living together.

Well, considering what happened, I could understand her wanting to stay close. But I never imagined that the very next day I’d actually be moving into the Yukimori residence…

“It may have been just yesterday for you, Inori-kun, but for me, it felt like an eternity!”

“Ah… sorry for making you worry.”

“You really did! Good grief, I’m fuming here!”

She hadn’t stopped messaging me since yesterday. I was sleep-deprived because of it.

While I stifled a yawn, Miyabe-san unloaded my bags from the car.

“Ah, thank you so much.”

“No need to thank me. Inori-sama is an important guest to the Yukimori family.”

Y-You’re laying it on a bit thick… That makes me feel guilty.

“Come on, come on, Inori-kun! Let’s go to your room!”

“Okay, okay, I got it. Just don’t pull me so hard…!”

Shizuku tugged me along as we headed into the mansion.

So this is where I’ll be living from now on… I—I’m getting nervous.

“Oh, that’s right. My father and mother will be coming back tonight.”

“Really? Weren’t they overseas?”

“They were. But they said they really want to meet you.”

“I see. Then I better make a good impression.”

……

…………

………………

……………………Wait, what?

“Greeting?”

“Yes.”

“Me?”

“Yes.”

“Your parents?”

“Yes.”

…Jesus.

“I’ve already told them so many good things about you! They’re really looking forward to meeting you!”

There’s nothing worth praising though!?

Wait, wait, wait. I’m not mentally prepared for this!!

“W-Wait a sec! At least let me bring a gift or something!”

“It’s too late for that now~”

You can’t say that with such a happy face!

“Oh, Inori-kun, you’re feeling stressed right now, aren’t you?”

“Who wouldn’t be in this situation?”

Meeting her parents isn’t just about guts or nerve anymore—it’s a whole different level.

Ahhh, this is the most nervous I’ve been since the first time Shizuku and I did that.

Grinning, Shizuku then said:

“Well then… until they get home, shall we have some sex? ♡”

“I’m having a hard time processing the words coming out of your mouth.”

“Releasing your desires is the best way to relieve stress. It’s what we always do, 

right?”

“Not now, not now.”

Why would we do it right before meeting her parents!?

That’s way too messed up. I’d feel terrible.

“Hmm… then let me put it this way. Honestly, I’m a little nervous too. Introducing my boyfriend to my parents and all…”

“…And?”

“As your employer, I command you. Relieve my stress.”

──Ah, I see. So that’s how it is.

“…Well, if the boss says so, I’ve got no choice.”

“That’s more like it. Alright, let’s head to the room~♪”

Shizuku pulled me along by the arm toward the bedroom.

I never imagined that a relationship that started physically would turn into something real.

The one who now satisfies this lustful noble lady… isn’t just a classmate. It’s her boyfriend—me.

Thinking that, I gazed at Shizuku’s smiling face and savored the happiness of this moment.

[The End]

Afterword

The Young Lady’s Stress Relief is Me, Her Classmate.

With this, the story comes to a close!

How did you enjoy this romantic comedy, where things began with a physical relationship despite the gap in social status?

I personally had a great time writing it!

It really came out in a rush of momentum. It hasn’t quite reached 100,000 characters yet, but I may add some more content to reach that mark and submit it to a writing contest somewhere! (Even if it’s not exactly what the public usually goes for!)

From here on, these two will probably continue to enjoy their lovey-dovey, R18-filled antics together.

As for the R18 content, it’s being released as limited content on another site.
I’m writing those purely for my own satisfaction, so I’ll keep uploading them whenever I finish a new chapter.

If you’re interested, please check my activity feed for updates!

Now then, instead of dragging this afterword out with too much rambling, I’ll wrap it up here.

Thank you all so much!!
