Regarding this, Katsuragi Sayaka spoke directly to her mother, "Mom, just tell him directly that you don't like him anymore and want to call off the engagement."
Katsuragi Yuki also nodded, "Right, Mom, this kind of thing doesn't really need a reason."
Although her two daughters had given their opinions, Katsuragi Shouko's beautiful eyes involuntarily drifted towards Hikari, as if his opinion was the most important, even more so than her two daughters.
Facing Shouko's eyes, which held complex emotions, Hikari smiled slightly and said, "Just do as Sayaka and the others said. I think it makes perfect sense. Just say you want to cancel the engagement directly. After all, it's just a promise between you two; you haven't registered the marriage or anything."
Although Hikari's words were almost identical to what Katsuragi Sayaka and Katsuragi Yuki had said, for some reason, hearing them from him made Shouko feel much more at ease and completely solidified her resolve.
Katsuragi Shouko nodded, picked up her phone, returned to her bedroom alone, and made the call.
———
A few minutes later.
She returned to the hallway and, seeing the several people who had already bagged up Kareki Tsunetaka, she also wore a smile on her face.
"It's done. My engagement is canceled," Katsuragi Shouko, for some reason, looked directly at Hikari with her beautiful eyes as she spoke.
Before Hikari could speak, Katsuragi Yuki, who was nearby, asked curiously, "It was settled that quickly?"
Katsuragi Shouko smiled and nodded, "Yes, he agreed directly. He just said he'd meet with us again in a few days after returning from Hokkaido. He's not like Kareki Tsunetaka; he's a pretty good person."
Hearing this, both Katsuragi Yuki and Katsuragi Sayaka breathed a sigh of relief and felt reassured.
Hikari, who was dragging the sack containing Kareki Tsunetaka away, preparing to thoroughly cremate this self-proclaimed "home defender" later, merely smiled noncommittally at this.
'A good person, huh? Not necessarily.'
While a great father doesn't necessarily have a worthless son, in this world, could Kareki Ichiro, who has a son like Kareki Tsunetaka, really be such an easygoing person?
He remained skeptical about that.

[Hokkaido, outskirts of Sapporo City]
A bearded, bald man calmly put down his phone.
A young man with a crew cut, who had just thrown a corpse into the back of a van, wiped the blood from his hands, quickly approached him, and said respectfully, "Ichiro-sama, that guy and his whole family who couldn't repay the loan have been dealt with. What's the matter? Is there something else you need us to do?"
Hearing his subordinate's words, Kareki Ichiro chuckled lightly, "Good that they're all taken care of. I only charge 50% interest over ten days. If they can't even repay that, such trash doesn't deserve to live!"
"As for my matter, it's nothing, just a small thing."
"A bit*h actually said she wants to break off the engagement with me. Probably fell for some pretty boy, I guess. But if she wants to break it off, so be it."
Hearing this, the subordinate couldn't help but speak up anxiously, "Boss, how can that be! You can't agree to that!"
Kareki Ichiro laughed, "I've already agreed."
The subordinate was shocked, "Boss... how could you?"
Kareki Ichiro said with a smile, "Did you really think I would marry a slave, a piece of meat, a tool?"
Upon hearing this, the subordinate immediately laughed, "I knew it! This is the Ichiro aniki I know. Should I book a flight back later?"
Kareki Ichiro smiled, "Yeah, in the next few days. We'll head back to Tokyo as soon as we finish up here. Actually, that bit*h is quite pretty, and the key is she has two daughters. I was thinking of marrying her just for fun, like buy one get two free."
"But since this woman is so ungrateful, when we go back this time, let's turn her and her two daughters into flesh slav*s. You guys can have fun with them too."
Hearing this, the subordinate who had just asked couldn't contain the excitement in his eyes, and several other men who looked like underlings also started rubbing their hands together happily.

Early the next morning.
Hikari, who had slept very comfortably, got up from the soft mattress and the bodies.
Facing the warm white sunlight, he comfortably did a set of simple stretches.
Behind him were Ruri, Reina, and Yukina, three gyarus lying sprawled in disarray.
After he cremated Kareki Tsunetaka and returned home yesterday, he was considering whether to go back to the Tsubakihara house for the night when the three gyarus called, saying they wanted to come to his place for a party.
Naturally, Hikari, who had just dealt with that self-proclaimed "home defender" neighbor cuckold and gained a lot of system points, readily agreed.
The party with the three gyarus went as smoothly as usual, except for the interruptions when Katsuragi Shouko and her two daughters came knocking on the door separately at one point.
But according to Ruri, the mother and daughters from the opposite neighbor knocking on the door was also part of the party experience, so the three gyarus, who were stacked like a pyramid against the back of the front door at the time, all agreed the party was very successful.
And as the party reached its climax, Ruri and the other two gyarus took the opportunity to announce that they wouldn't be able to attend classes tomorrow.
Having played to their heart's content at yesterday's party, they planned to rest at Hikari's place all day.
Hikari reluctantly agreed and promised to help them ask for leave this morning.
Looking at the three gyarus lying twisted and tangled on the bed, Hikari gave each of their buttocks a firm slap.
After making them yelp, he covered them with the blanket.
This was the punishment for these bad students who didn't attend class properly.
But he also understood their exhaustion from playing so hard they started pyramid stacking yesterday, so the punishment was just a taste.
After packing his things, Hikari left the room.
However, upon arriving in the living room, he could see an uninvited guest still on the sofa.
The face, which even in deep sleep bore a sixty to seventy percent resemblance to Reina's but was more mature, was clearly none other than Rena's older sister, Hamazaki Risa.
Yes, there were actually more than three people at the party at Hikari's house yesterday.
There were four.
Besides the three gyarus, Hamazaki Risa had also come along, using the excuse of being curious about the layout of Hikari's house.
"Hey, Risa-nee, isn't it time for work?", Hikari extended a finger and poked Risa's cheek, which was as soft as a kitten's belly.
Hamazaki Risa, however, very skillfully opened her mouth and started sucking incessantly, seemingly still retaining some memories from yesterday's party.
Feeling his finger getting sore from the sucking, Hikari had no choice but to shake his hand and slap her big head.
Her large head swayed four or five times from the slap before Hamazaki Risa slowly woke up.
"Eh, it's Hikari-kun, ohayo~", Hamazaki Risa, who had been deliberately punished by the three gyarus and Hikari until she was dazed yesterday, still looked somewhat bewildered.
"Risa-nee, it's daylight. Shouldn't you be going to work?", Hikari kindly reminded her.
"Aww, I don't want to go to work today. My thighs still hurt. Hikari-kun, please ask for leave for me, okay? Please, onii-chan~", Hamazaki Risa clung to Hikari's thick, sturdy, veiny arm, continuously rubbing.
Her soft, sticky voice, by the end, even opened her mouth and playfully took a gentle bite.
Seeing Hamazaki Risa's appearance, which was quite similar to Reina or rather, the three gyarus, Hikari was somewhat speechless. He could only say, like mother, like daughter.
"No, Risa-nee, Ruri, Reina, and Yukina are in the same class and school as me, so I can ask for leave for them. I don't even know which company you work for; how can I ask for leave for you?", Hikari shook his arm helplessly and retorted, accidentally spraying sticky saliva onto the corner of Risa's mouth and eye.
Hamazaki Risa didn't mind, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then nodded thoughtfully, "That seems right too... Then I won't trouble Hikari-kun. I'll call and ask for leave myself later..."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Hamazaki Risa immediately lay back down on the sofa and fell fast asleep. Listening to her snores, Hikari knew it was unlikely she would manage to ask for leave herself.
After thinking for a moment, Hikari still fished out her phone from under her.
Wiping off the white foam on the phone, Hikari found the phone number labeled "Supervisor Sis," edited a leave request text message, sent it, then put the phone back in its place.
After all, early this morning, Hamazaki Risa had helped him deal with the issue of excessive vigor and energy after his morning exercise, so he might as well help her ask for leave in return.
Looking at Hamazaki Risa, who was sleeping on the sofa like a dead pig, not even caring about the white drool leaking from the corner of her mouth, Hikari shook his head and left the house.
———
Arriving at school, Hikari went to the office as usual and had breakfast with the beautiful, busty teacher, Shirakawa Miwa.
While eating breakfast, he noticed the strange gaze directed at him by Tsukishima Kyoko.
But since she didn't say anything, Hikari didn't speak either.
And so, after finishing breakfast, Hikari left the office.
However, Hikari didn't notice that besides Tsukishima Kyoko, there was another female teacher in the office also secretly watching his departing figure.
Watching Hikari, who had even waved goodbye to Shirakawa Miwa with a smile before leaving, Takamine Ayaka, with her high ponytail and handsome, elegant face, couldn't help but reveal a look of discomfort in her eyes.
She had been wanting to talk to Hikari, chat with him, interact with him, just like Shirakawa Miwa did, but she didn't dare.
Ever since the incident with Kitou Masami and the head teacher, she had actually been holding a grudge against Hikari in her heart, constantly thinking about him, and her body, which had been connected with his, remembered the shape all too well.
But she had never dared to seek more contact with Hikari, even actively avoiding him.
Because she considered her student, Serizawa Yukiha's feelings; she knew Yukiha clearly had a crush on Hikari; she had known this even before the Kitou Masami incident.
And besides that, another reason she didn't dare get closer to Hikari was her identity as a teacher.
So she had never dared to consider the relationship between her and Hikari.
But now, seeing Hikari getting along so well and intimately with Shirakawa Miwa, another female teacher, almost daily and in a very clingy manner, her heart felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
After all, they had their own story too...
To be honest, Takamine Ayaka had been unable to forget that night.
According to her responsible and serious personality, after such an event happened.
The two of them should consider taking their relationship a step further, taking responsibility for each other, or something.
For example, after Hikari graduated, the two of them could try being together or something.
This daydream had kept Takamine Ayaka constantly yearning, even thinking about making it happen.
But this was actually just the surface, a more presentable reason layered on top.
Actually, at the bottom, there was a reason that Takamine Ayaka knew well but didn't dare admit.
That was her feelings about that night, which she reminisced about every night recently.
Since that one connection with Hikari, she, who originally had no habit of self-gratification, had been practicing manual driving almost daily.
But she had never experienced the feeling of that night again, not even one-tenth of it... Because she couldn't control her preoccupation with this matter, she had recently been unable to eat or drink properly, losing over five or six pounds.
Moreover, she often got distracted even while working, not noticing when she made mistakes in her lectures.
All of this had gotten worse the further she stayed from Hikari.
So, no matter how much Takamine Ayaka didn't want to admit it, she knew very well in her heart that her life had been strongly and uncontrollably affected by Hikari.
Moreover, Takamine Ayaka's body intensely craved the feeling Hikari had given her that day, that sensation of flying to the clouds, reaching the peak of bliss. The intense pleasure made her willing to forget many other concerns for it.
If not for her personality, she would've thrown herself at Hikari, wanting him to ravish herself mercilessly.
But for various reasons, Takamine Ayaka could only sit at her desk, secretly watching Hikari's retreating back.
———
Elsewhere, after leaving the office, Hikari went directly to the library.
It wasn't that he loved studying so much.
Mainly, if he continued this gradual effort, he felt he would soon achieve success with Kiriryuin Kaede.
Then he would be able to directly access the world of Demi-humans and youkai.
For this reason, he, who preferred to prepare ahead of time and be in control, decided to learn more about this aspect in advance.
So recently, whenever he had free time, he would spend it in the library.
