"Goodbye, Yoshida-san." "Goodbye—"
The change in status was obvious. Whenever she arrived at school, girls greeted her; during class, girls would initiate conversations to check on her; and after school, girls waved goodbye.
The once invisible, dowdy girl had completed a true transformation, becoming the uncrowned queen of someone's "Harem Academy." It wasn't an exaggeration to say she was second only to one and above thousands.
However, for Saki Yoshida, while she had become relatively close to Akane Nanami and a few others, she maintained a polite distance from the rest. In Saki's heart, Alex was the only one who truly mattered.
Of course, there were the other women by his side... well, they were all on the same team.
"Phew, so this is what it feels like to be a popular 'normie'? I used to envy and crave this life, but... it's surprisingly exhausting," Saki thought as she walked out of the school gates, her long black hair fluttering. She pulled her phone from her bag.
She wanted to message Alex but was afraid of disturbing him. She was hesitant and nervous—the very image of a girl in love.
"I used to long for such a fulfilling life and friends, but... a few friends are enough. No, if I have Alex, it wouldn't matter if I didn't have a single friend at all."
Thinking of the boy's embrace and the vivid memories of their passionate sex, her cheeks flushed with happiness.
"Summer break is almost here. But Alex lives in Tokyo. We'll be separated again. As I thought, I have to find a way to transfer to a school in Tokyo."
Having made up her mind, Saki picked up her pace and headed home.
"I'm home—Mom? Dad?"
Her mother was cooking, and her father was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. Saki was pondering how to bring up the subject to her parents, completely failing to notice the look her father gave her from behind the paper. His gaze was subtle, carrying a trace of something twisted.
In her school uniform, Saki's developed body was shown off perfectly. Her plump thighs were squeezed by her stockings, creating a soft bulge of flesh, and her rounded hips swayed with every step. Without realizing it, the daughter had "grown up."
The forbidden desire in the man's heart grew larger. Lewd, wretched thoughts had sprouted at some unknown point and were now growing uncontrollably. In the face of his daughter's youthful beauty, a bold idea was born.
The man had no sense of fatherly responsibility. Instead, he brewed his malice, especially after noticing the newfound womanly air around her—a faint, seductive sexiness combined with youth. Her pure face and body now carried a hint of eroticism, like a blend of an angel and a demon.
This was a body that could drive a man insane! When did Saki become so... womanly?
"Welcome home," Saki's mother said, also failing to notice anything wrong. She took her daughter's bag with a smile. "Are you hungry? Dinner will be a little longer."
"I'm not hungry... um, Mom, Dad, there's something..." Saki was a bit embarrassed, her blush deepening. "This summer... I want to go to Tokyo. I've made a new friend there."
She figured it was too early to ask for a transfer, so she decided to introduce Alex to her family first. Surely they wouldn't object.
"Going to Tokyo? That's fine. I'm happy you've made a new friend. You didn't have many before. Is it a boy or a girl?"
"It's... a boy. Mom, don't look at me like that! I'll bring him over to visit sometime."
The mature lady looked at her daughter with a knowing smirk. Behind the newspaper, the man frowned, watching his blushing daughter flee to her room, lost in thought.
...
"Saki, you're in there, right?"
Creak—
Before dinner was served, Saki was sitting at her desk, looking into a makeup mirror. She used to never care about her appearance; it was rare for a high school girl not to know how to use makeup. After starting high school, she had tried to learn to change herself.
Now, her makeup was purely to please the boy she loved.
She wanted to show him her most beautiful side. However, her father's sudden entrance startled her. She quickly put down the mirror. "Dad? Why didn't you knock!"
She was annoyed.
"Saki, you never used to care about that. Hasn't it always been like this?"
"That was then. Now... it's different," Saki muttered, spinning her chair around.
"...It certainly is different." The room was filled with a girl's fragrance. The man couldn't tell if the scent on his daughter was perfume or her natural body odor, but it constantly tugged at his heartstrings. "Saki isn't a little girl anymore. You've grown up."
"Dad, is something wrong?"
Saki felt his words were heavy with meaning. Moreover, his gaze was strange, seemingly drifting toward her chest. Saki shifted uncomfortably and subtly pulled her clothes tighter.
The man didn't hide his naked, lewd gaze. "It's about that male friend... Saki, you're in a relationship, aren't you? That 'friend' is your boyfriend, right? Even if he isn't, you like him, don't you?"
"Uh... why are you asking all of a sudden? I..." Saki hesitated. "Yes, he is my boyfriend. And I do love him."
She admitted it frankly.
"I knew it... I wondered why you changed so much. So you're in love. It's a bit sentimental, knowing my daughter has a boyfriend," the man said, his tone suddenly shifting. His eyes roamed shamelessly over her body beneath her clothes, his gaze turning dangerous.
"I suspect it's more than just dating. You've had sex, haven't you? I can tell. Saki, you're not a virgin anymore. It's incredible. You're so womanly now, a completely different person from that girl with the braids. Especially after being 'done,' your aura has become so much more seductive."
The light in the room dimmed as the sun set. The atmosphere in the bedroom froze. The evening glow hit Saki's back, casting a long shadow. Shock was written clearly across her face.
"D-Dad..."
What was he saying?
The man stepped closer. "Saki, I don't know what kind of boy you're seeing, but a mere student can't compare to an adult man. You're already a woman; you've tasted the pleasure between a man and a woman. Why don't you try it with your Dad?"
Shock, daze, horror, trembling—
The memories of the jerk she once liked, the gyarus, and the school bullying flashed through her mind. Saki's face turned deathly pale. She never imagined her own father would say such things. "What are you saying?! You're my father!!"
It was disgusting! Revolting!
"Don't come near me!!" she screamed.
"I know. You're my daughter. But what does that matter? If you do it with me, I'll cherish you even more. Who would have thought my dull, honest daughter would become so beautiful? It's a perfect transformation... I can't wait to fuck you, Saki. Don't be afraid. Daddy just wants to do some intimate things with you. I'll be very gentle."
He lunged forward like a starving wolf. There was no trace of his former kindness; his face was a contorted mask of greed. Saki fell from her chair and scrambled backward. "Get away!! Get away from me!!"
The girl was on the verge of a breakdown. She didn't understand what was wrong with the world, or what was wrong with her. Ever since she decided to change herself in high school, why did these things keep happening?
Jerks and bullies were one thing—even when the boys in school wanted to use her as a toy, she had endured. But why was even her family becoming so...
Under the massive trauma, the light in the girl's eyes began to fade. Just as she was about to fall into darkness—
Hum—
"Hiss! What was that?!"
An invisible force surged outward. Saki's eyes brightened as the darkness cleared. The Silver Crest on her private parts was pulsing with heat, bringing her strength and a sense of security.
Alex... Yes, I still have Alex.
"What are you doing?"
At that moment, a cold voice came from the doorway. They turned to see her mother standing there, her face pale and her expression grim.
