Saki Yoshida watched him leave.
She had woken up early to stand at the street corner and watch her beloved boy drive away in a luxury car. Even after the car was out of sight, she stood there for ten minutes before finally turning away.
"Alex..."
She pulled out her phone and smiled at their chat history. She sent him a "pouting" sticker. Seeing his immediate reply, she felt a mix of happiness and longing.
He had been gone for only minutes, and she already missed him... But in this age of technology, they had phones, the internet, video calls, Line... there were many ways to stay connected.
The loneliness eased slightly.
Since starting high school, her greatest luck hadn't been her transformation or making "gyaru" friends—it was meeting Alex.
Eventually, the girl turned back toward her school.
The busy school scene looked the same as always, but she knew it had changed drastically. She looked at the "harem school" Alex had left behind, seeing the fawning smiles of the girls and the fearful glances of the boys who didn't even dare to look at her.
Alex had brought all of this.
Saki didn't think Alex had gone too far. Once the shy, lonely girl made up her mind, she was stubbornly loyal. In her heart, even if Alex blew up the school, she would still be on his side.
Whatever he did, she wouldn't question him. She gave him unconditional trust.
When a lonely girl finds her salvation, she treats him like her gospel. She will follow him to the end, her heart never wavering!
"Good morning, Yoshida-san~"
"Good morning... Nanami?" Saki remembered the girl's name and smiled. This girl seemed special. "You can just call me by my name. If you don't mind, I'll do the same."
"Ah, okay... Saki?" Akane Nanami wasn't used to it yet. The girl with chin-length hair tucked a strand behind her ear and looked around. "Is... Master not in school today?"
"You mean Alex? He's gone."
"Gone?"
"Yeah. He left Kyoto and went back to Tokyo. But he'll be back for summer break."
So he's gone. Akane Nanami felt a wave of relief. The pressure Master put on her was too much. His departure made her feel lighter. Yet... why did she also feel a sense of loss?
No, no! It's not because I miss his body! I'm not a slut! It must be because I feel less safe now that he's gone. After all, Master's power...
The shadow of the track and field club hadn't fully vanished.
She regretted ever being interested in Shoya Katase. "I see. That guy... Master just left like that? He's really confident leaving us here. Isn't he worried about his 'harem school'?"
"With Alex's mark, we don't need to worry about danger," Saki said, touching her belly with a smile.
Akane Nanami's expression was complicated. She also had that lewd silver mark on her body. Every time she saw it, she felt uncomfortable, yet Saki seemed to love hers. Tsk... she really does love that bastard.
Well, it's understandable. That bastard is wicked, but he makes you feel safe. And... though I hate to admit it, he is charming. Akane tried to hate him, tried to stay sane.
But she was slowly sinking. Her resistance was fading... especially after dealing with the disgusting men in the track club. By comparison, she was wavering even more.
Sigh...
"Besides, if anything happens, we can just call him. If you miss him, Akane, you can contact him on Line..."
"Who misses him! That guy... wait, someone like him uses Line?" Akane Nanami felt a surge of curiosity as she added Alex on Line. In her eyes, her mysterious, powerful, terrifying... and wicked Master was actually using Line like a normal person.
It made her feel a little closer to him.
Regardless, her life had veered off track. She was now bound to that wicked Master.
...
Kasumi Haruno didn't know Alex had left. Unlike Akane Nanami, she hadn't experienced the cruelty of the world yet, so she mostly felt awe and fear toward Alex.
His power was branded into her heart. That irresistible strength was etched into her body and memory.
"Sigh..."
Kasumi knew she couldn't escape, so she just kept her head down. As for Ayato Haruno... she had distanced herself from her distant "brother." It wouldn't have mattered anyway; the mark on her body, the Master's mark, completely prevented any possibility of contact with other men.
"But he hasn't been to school for two days. Did he get bored of us?" She touched her belly, glancing at the trembling teacher on the podium. She quietly slid her hand under her skirt, stroking the sensitive silver mark between her legs, her body quivering.
Even if he was bored, the girls in this school had no way of leaving. They were his property for life.
Look at the teacher—so cautious. His status in the school was lower than the girls'. They might be the Master's sex slaves, but they held the power of life and death over every male in the school.
"Kasumi, did you hear?" The girl sitting in front of her turned around to whisper during class. "Our Master has apparently left Kyoto."
Left?
Kasumi froze. The teacher on the podium saw them talking openly but said nothing, pretending not to notice. The status of teachers in this school was truly at the bottom.
"The news came from Saki Yoshida's class. You know her relationship with Master... They say Master is also a high school student, from Tokyo."
Kasumi looked at the girl. "You dare to gossip about Master?"
"I'm just curious! Master wouldn't care about this. Many girls are trying to find out more about him," the girl said with a giggle. "Honestly, most of the girls have accepted the reality."
"Master is powerful, from a mysterious background, and charming. More importantly, he can give us superpowers and even eternal youth." The rumors about what happened in the class of Izumi Ueno and the other gyarus had spread. "So more and more girls are accepting his 'love.'"
"Now that they hear he's gone, the girls who didn't get to offer their bodies are actually disappointed..."
Kasumi was speechless. The girls in this school had no shame.
But if it were me...
The girl bit her lip. Thinking about superpowers and eternal youth, her heart... began to waver too.
