Tokyo Soft Rice King.

Men with the means will seek out new beauties after their wives have aged and lost their looks; it's human nature.

The reason why men who remain devoted to their wives after achieving wealth and status are praised and celebrated for their vows of eternal love and lifelong commitment is because most people cannot achieve this.

Moreover, sometimes the wife is unable to bear children. If it is a monogamous system and concubines are not allowed, then the fate of the principal wife is to be abandoned.

However, if polygamy were to occur in modern times... then women would truly only serve as birthers, playthings, and sacrificial offerings.

Of course, because it is illegal, people often refer to modern concubines as 'mistresses' or 'adopted daughters'.

Conversely, if a relationship can become polygamous without any vested interests, then who can question the feelings between the partners?

It's undoubtedly pure love!

This is also strong evidence of the purity of Shion's feelings, because she really does give all the money she earns to Kuroba Akira.

While others were still in school, she was already working and earning money to support her man.

Therefore, when it comes to polygamy, Shion is also an option that cannot be excluded.

"What about Ziyin?"

"Forget it, that selfish woman won't give up her leading position. If we really want her to join, we'll have to rely on a wise ruler."

"As for me, I can do it with just my hands... I feel very involved even with just my hands, hehe..."

As humble as Qingxia was, she turned her face away, her profile looking pitiful.

Anri Hitomi shook her shoulders to encourage her.

"Really! You need to cheer up, Xia! And you're not completely without any tricks up your sleeve, are you? Mingjun isn't at the stage where he's lost interest in women yet. As long as you can get his sensitivities, he won't be able to resist coming to you when he's full of energy."

"I'm not really sure about Kuroba-kun's preferences... but I saw Shion-san wearing white stockings and a gym uniform in Kuroba-kun's room before... would that be okay?"

That leotard was still mine! But that woman only deserved to wear her old leotard that she couldn't fit into because it was too tight at the chest...

However, she still occupied that XP area first, which made Anri Hitomi very unhappy.

She decided that once that woman debuted, she would wear the same performance outfit as that woman and steal a moment with Kuroba Akira.

However, playing with clothing contrasts like Tong Zi is a high-level XP mastery, and beginners should find their own niche.

　Qingxia was of high quality, after all, she had a pair of impressive big thunderbolts, which made Hei Yuming stare at her intently.

With a little more exploration, finding the right direction, and letting go of her shame, her sexual competitiveness is still very strong.

"Of course, that's fine. Mingjun's range of preferences is very broad, and Xia, all you need to do is..."

Anri Hitomi leaned close to Haruka's ear and began to whisper to her about Kuroba Akira's complete XP guide, hoping to help her become a master at seducing men as soon as possible.

Haruka Tomita blushed deeply. She felt that she had seen many different kinds of things through Kuroo's memories, but she didn't expect there to be so many more... and many of them sounded so embarrassing that she knew she would be excited even before trying them.

Xiaotong has completely turned into a woman whose mind is full of lust... Will I become like her in the future?

Qingxia was both nervous and expectant, and then she tried her best to write down these secrets of attracting enlightenment that Senior Xiaotong had figured out through rich practical experience.

There will be opportunities to put them into practice one by one in the future.

……

After seeing Anri Hitomi off, Haruka returned to the shrine. In the room, Kuroba Akira was stroking his sister's hair and letting Amehime rest her head on his lap.

Kuroba Akira saw Haruka enter the room and whispered something.

"Has the class monitor already gone back? You guys chatted for quite a while."

"Well...we had a thorough exchange of views, which led to a comprehensive strategic partnership."

"Good heavens, is this diplomatic language?"

"Just like I said before, Hitomi is indeed on our side. She will fully support us. Now there will definitely be no problem with the issuance and implementation of the ban on overnight stays, Kuroba-kun."

"Phew...that's great."

With both Hitomi Anri and Shion Murasaki no Miyako expressing their support, there's no point in anyone else protesting.

The harem will officially introduce a brand-new ranking system.

Chapter 407 Controlling the Beloved Man

After finishing their business, Qingxia said she had to go back, but before leaving, she gave a final suggestion, albeit with a personal motive.

"Ahem, and also, Kuroba-kun... After discussing it with Kotomi, we both agreed that Kuroba-kun, you should start exercising again."

"I guess I've been exercising, since they've drained my energy several times, leaving me with a sore back and aching muscles..."

"I'm not talking about using unhealthy methods to train specific muscles, but rather about proper training."

"Really? If I have the physical strength and energy, I'd be willing to go to the gym or something... But why are you suddenly asking me to exercise?"

"The reason I make this suggestion is that in the final crucial moment, when neither Hitomi nor I are by your side, the only thing that can help you, Kuroba-kun, is probably your own body."

Haruka meant that when it came to the real physical combat, Kuroba Akira, not wanting to be pushed around, would have no choice but to use brute force to suppress the girl.

"Am I the protagonist of some kind of action-adventure H-game...? If I don't increase my power, I'll have to enter a defeat HCG, okay?"

"Because there has already been a case where they attacked you without your consent, Kuroba-kun, this means that it is possible that this could happen again in the future, even if you have verbally refused, Kuroba-kun, but they still continue to attack you."

The transition from 'without consent' to 'ignoring even after rejection' is natural; they are very likely to combine their strength in numbers to force Kuroba Akira to submit.

Don't think that just because someone calls you husband, dad, master, or darling, you have real power. Those are just ways to get you to cooperate. If you don't cooperate... then you'll only have one identity left: Nihonbashi.

When you're being offered something lenient, you'd better actually be willing to accept it.

Moreover, it's like when someone in a group shouts "sexy pictures," and then everyone follows suit; no matter what we were talking about before, everyone will be assimilated into talking about sexy pictures.

If even one person can't resist wanting to eat Xiaoming, then everyone else will definitely be unable to resist either, and they'll even join in the group meal.

Regardless of gender, no one can resist the powerful allure of seduction.

"Don't be fooled by the fact that Ziyin seems to support us now. That's just because she's feeling very full right now and has entered a rational sage mode. But once she starts reminiscing about the days when she slept with you, Kuroba-kun, she'll become increasingly thirsty and her emotions will become unstable. Her estrogen and testosterone levels will surge, leading to a heightened arousal and boundless energy... If you don't accept her invitation at this point, you'll probably be facing Ziyin's forced love session."

"This is also very similar to the succubus setting in H-games... but it is indeed Shion's style."

The popular voice actress I live with is actually a succubus!

This title could be the subject of a whole new light novel.

Haruka brought up Ziyin, who should have been considered a companion, and then used a very convincing argument to reveal Ziyin's 'potential Rip'.

But she said this not to belittle Shion, but simply to make Kuroba Akira think that 'we cannot be careless'.

At this point, she would use these as evidence to steer the conversation towards exercise.

"So, that's why training is necessary, Kuroba-kun."

"Although I think that if it really comes to that, they probably won't give me a chance to fight back... Well, that makes sense. It takes extra strength to escape. If I'm strong enough, I can break free from regular ropes. There's always a use for that."

Just like the strength attribute in a TRPG game, it's simple and unpretentious, but quite powerful.

"In that case... Kuroba-kun, why don't we go swimming together?"

"Swimming? But I can't swim..."

"It's okay, I can teach you step by step."

Now even Kuroba Akira knows Haruka's plan; it's become a bit too deliberate.

However, this kind of revealing of one's true intentions doesn't make people feel disgusted; on the contrary, it makes Kuroba Akira find it quite adorable.

Moreover, this is actually the ranking system that will be introduced in the harem later, namely various seductive behaviors with guiding nature, intended to make Kuroba Akira take the initiative, so that it will not be considered as forcing Kuroba Akira.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Coach Qingxia! I want to learn to swim!"

This time, since Kuroba Akira also wanted to see Haruka in a swimsuit, he obediently agreed.

School swimsuits are great, but racing swimsuits have their own unique charm, and of course, there are daring bikinis... swimsuits just always inspire a lot of imagination.

"Okay! Don't worry about it, leave it to me. I'll definitely help Kuroba-kun learn to swim!"

But what Haruka was thinking was to slow down Kuroba Akira's swimming progress as much as possible, ideally dividing it into twelve sessions, with each session teaching only a tiny bit of content, and after learning freestyle, they could also learn breaststroke, butterfly, diving, and so on...

You've got something to learn, Kuroba-kun.

During this process, Haruka tries on all types of swimsuits, and ideally, she has a happy play with Kuroba Akira while they are dressed up.

In this way, just as thinking of gymnastics uniforms reminds one of Shion, Kuroba Akira will think of Haruka whenever she thinks of swimsuits. She will devour the entire niche of swimsuits and claim it as her own.

Just like how the image of a bunny girl immediately brings to mind Mai Sakurajima, once this impression is established, the chances of Akira Kuroba receiving a proactive reward when arousing his sexual interest become higher.

The wider the XP coverage, the more likely he is to switch to another one even if he gets tired of one.

This is the 'XP Manipulation Method' personally taught by Hitomi Anri.

Her ultimate goal is to become the first woman to come to mind when Kuroba Akira has the idea of ​​using Akira's younger brother.

That's the real throne of the empress.

……

Not long after Haruka left, Makoto arrived at the shrine.

Her father, Kyoichi Saionji, came with her, but he did not come up to the shrine.

Good evening, Kuroba-kun.

"Oh, thank you for your trouble, Zhen Cheng, it's really kind of you to make this trip."

"It's alright, I'm not tired. My father drove me here. When he heard that they were going to take in Tianyu, he immediately said he would come over."

Is my uncle outside the shrine? Why doesn't he come in?

"He said he didn't want to be distracted by testing his son-in-law today; the most important thing was to pick up the teacher's daughter."

"Uh... then come inside with me, Xiaoguang is sleeping."

Makoto nodded and went inside with Kuroba Akira.

At this moment, Ame no Hikaru's expression softened and became more peaceful in her sleep, with a sweet smile on her face, indicating that she was having a sweet dream.

On the contrary, Kuroba Akira noticed that after seeing Hikari, Makoto paused for a moment before cautiously walking to her side with a very complicated expression on her face.

After all, Tenyu Hikaru was the reason why Makoto gave up kendo; she was an insurmountable wall that Makoto could never cross before, an opponent she could not defeat no matter how hard she tried.

"Do you want revenge?"

"It's not so much about revenge, it's just... my feelings are a bit complicated. I thought I had completely let go, but when I saw her again, that feeling of resentment from back then came back a little bit..."
