Using a Mysterious Spellbook Ended Up Creating a Slave Harem - Chapter 39

Otowa Kojina and the Confession

"Thank you everyone for coming to today's wrap-up party. With that, let's wrap things up here."

"Good work~"

"That was fun~"

It was close to 5:00 PM when the after-party came to an end. Those who had finished settling their bills left the café and loitered around the storefront.

"Anyone up for a second party?"

"Hmm, what should I do~"

"If we go, is it karaoke?"

While some were planning a second gathering, Rina stood there looking a bit out of place. This was a moment where I, as her master, had to step in and speak to her.

"Takechi-san. What are you doing after this?"

"……Saida-kun. I'm just waiting for my manager to pick me up in the car."

"I see. Having to go to work after this must be tough."

"Thank you for worrying about me."

As Rina spoke to me with a gentle smile, passersby began to notice her. Standing tall and ignoring the murmurs of the surrounding crowd, she possessed the true aura of a top idol.

As I savored the happiness of knowing that this beautiful girl was my sex slave, a taxi pulled up in front of the shop. A middle-aged woman got out and called out to Rina.

"Rina-chan."

"Gondou-san. ……My manager is here, so I have to go."

"Ah, right."

"Well then, everyone! Today was a lot of fun! Thank you!"

"I had fun too!"

"Thanks for coming today."

"I wish you'd come to school more often, though."

While she said her goodbyes to our classmates, the manager named Gondou scanned the group. Her gaze came to a halt at a specific spot.

"!! W-Wait a minute! You, over there!"

Following her line of sight, I saw Otowa-san standing gracefully at the end of it.

"……M-Me?"

"Yes! Are you interested in entering the entertainment industry?!"

"Eh……, um……"

"G-Gondou-san! We don't have time, remember?!"

Rina stepped in to stop her manager, whose tension had suddenly spiked. It seemed Gondou-san had taken a liking to Otowa-san's traditional, Yamato Nadeshiko-style beauty.

"Urgh! To think such excellent talent is right in front of my eyes!!"

"W-We're going to be late! S-Sorry about that, Kojina-san."

"N-No, it's fine……"

"O-Oh, right! Here's my business card, so if you're interested, give me a call!"

"Oh, honestly, Gondou-san!"

"Even if you're not interested, call me!"

While being pulled away by Rina, she shoved the card into Otowa-san's hands before being pushed into the taxi. As Rina waved from inside the vehicle, we waved back until the taxi quickly sped away.

"W-What was that all about?"

Shigemitsu muttered softly, echoing the sentiment of everyone else as an awkward atmosphere settled over the group. Amidst that, I spoke to Otowa-san.

"Are you alright, Kojina-san?"

"Ye-Yes…… I was just a little surprised."

Pressing the card she had been given against her chest, she took a deep breath. Wishing I could be in the place of that business card, I asked about her plans.

"What are you doing now, Kojina-san?"

"Phew…… I'm tired, so I think I will just head home."

"Is that so? Shall I walk you home?"

"N-No, I'm fine. Once I arrive at the station near my house, my family will pick me up."

"……Then, shall we walk to the station here together?"

"I suppose…… All right. Let's walk to the station together."

After thinking it over for a brief moment, Otowa-san gave a slight smile and agreed to my proposal. As I stood captivated by her smile, an intruder interrupted us.

"Kojina-san! We're going to karaoke for the second party, would you like to join us?"

"Esaka-kun…… I'm going straight home today. I've already asked my family to pick me up."

"R-Really? Can't you cancel the pickup?"

"I don't really want to disrupt my family's schedule. I'm sorry."

"I see, that's a shame…… Sorry for pushing you."

"No, it's fine. Well then, excuse us. ……Shall we go, Saida-kun?"

"A-Ah, yeah…… See you at school then. Good work today, everyone."

"…………Good work."

"See ya at school."

"Night~"

Leaving behind Esaka, who looked displeased, along with the rest of our classmates, I walked shoulder-to-shoulder with Otowa-san toward the station.

"Good work with the cultural festival and today."

"You must be tired from dealing with Mitsuho-san too, right, Saida-kun?"

"That's…… wouldn't the same apply to you, Kojina-san?"

"Yes, perhaps we should form a victims' association?"

As we kept the conversation going with topics related to the Fortune Telling Club, we finally arrived at the station. Since it was a large station and we were heading in opposite directions, our platforms were separate.

"Your train arrives earlier, Kojina-san. I'll walk you to the platform."

"Yeah……"

Once we reached her platform, the train arrived within a few minutes. Watching it pull in, I spoke to Otowa-san in a casual tone.

"Hey, Kojina-san?"

"Hmm?"

"Are you free after school tomorrow?"

"Y-Yes…… I don't have any particular plans."

"Then, I have something important to talk about, so could you meet me on the rooftop of the main building?"

"Eh……"

She gasped, a look of surprise washing over her face at my words. Given our recent relationship and the situation, she likely surmised what was about to be said.

"……I-I understand."

"Th-Thank you. Well then, see you tomorrow."

I offered a smile while escorting Otowa-san, who answered with a tense expression, onto the arriving train. As she stood on the other side of the closing doors, I lightly waved to her as the train began to move and fade into the distance.

Tomorrow would finally be the monumental day to harvest the rare fruit that was Otowa Kojina.

＋＋＋

The next day, Tuesday. It was a momentous day for both Otowa-san and me, but it began no differently than usual.

That was because, within the classroom, Otowa-san fundamentally maintained her aloof, solitary demeanor.

Since I understood the effects of my magic, I welcomed the end of the school day without any particular nervousness. As far as I could tell, there was nothing unusual about her demeanor either.

Homeroom ended, bringing the day to a close. Amidst the noisy, bustling classroom, Otowa-san cast a fleeting glance in my direction before stepping out of the room.

＋＋＋

Leaving the classroom about two minutes after her, I slowly climbed the stairs and finally opened the door leading to the rooftop.

Otowa-san was not within my immediate field of vision from the doorway. Without panicking, I stepped out onto the roof and walked around to the opposite side of the penthouse structure.

I had assumed she would be gazing at the scenery over by the edge of the rooftop fence, but she was actually waiting behind the penthouse. Walking up to stand face-to-face with her, I unleashed a powerful love-amplification magic to deliver the final blow.

"Sorry. Did I keep you waiting?"

"N-No, it's fine……"

Otowa-san was likely imagining what I was about to say to her. Due to the artificial affection and love implanted and heightened by my magic, she appeared restless and unsettled.

"K-Kojina-san!"

"Y-Yes!"

Pausing for a moment, I stared intently into her eyes. Otowa-san’s face was already flushed bright red, and her eyes were moist.

"Kojina-san…… I…… I like you, Kojina-san……"

"!!!"

"Not just as a friend, but as my girlfriend—won't you stay by my side?"

My confession caused her to freeze up. To the current Otowa-san, this was a courtship from the man she loved.

"……Are you sure you're fine with someone like me?"

"Yes."

"……My personality isn't very cute, you know?"

"No, I know how you are from the club, but from my perspective, you are cute."

"Uuuu……"

"……Kojina-san, please become my girlfriend!"

"Ngh!! …………Y-Yes."

Her acceptance was spoken in a very quiet voice, but I heard it clearly. Overjoyed, I closed the distance and pulled Otowa-san into an embrace, and she accepted it without any resistance.

Gently holding her soft, sweet-scented body close, I savored the happiness from the very bottom of my heart.

Today was November 8th. On this day, Otowa Kojina and I officially became boyfriend and girlfriend.
