A Duel of Men I
As saddening as it is, something that Shizuka and I definitely can't do together is sleep. We kissed until we ran out of breath, I tasted her saliva and she tasted mine. But Saya's topic is delicate... she has her own plans on how she's going to tackle this issue and although I don't plan to meddle, I will be there in case she needs me.
Our night was peaceful in the mansion, Shizuka drove Rei back to the nearest station, and we invited her to stay for the night in the many bedrooms but her parents didn't allow her as she had something to do, her mother spoke to me and said that there shouldn't be an issue next time since they believe 'Marikawa-sensei' is there and therefore there should be no naughtiness between a high school boy and several girls.
If only they knew.
Saya went to sleep together with Yuriko in another room while Saeko was being clutched like a pillow by Shizuka... I'd take that spot from her soon.
As for me, I was looking at the moon together with Lucy before we fell asleep. She was sitting on my lap, her head leaning against my shoulder as we both got showered in moonlight, she was explaining to me her worries and recent exploits.
"It won't be easy for us to get weapons, Brand... I tried but we cannot go through without a border or port checkup, our only option is what's available in the black market, which isn't much" She spoke with concern but I reassured her with a kiss... I think she sometimes takes me summoning her too seriously and does more than what I ask her to. She also enjoys herself though.
"That's okay... we don't need a nuke or anything like that, just enough weapons to protect ourselves was it necessary... on another topic, did you research Gentek?"
"..."
"Lucy?"
"S-Sorry... I almost fell asleep, what did you say?"
"If you want we can just go and sleep..."
Lucy yawned and nodded before spreading her arms towards me with a smile, this spoiled princess...
I picked her on a princess carry and she curled her lips wickedly, this is what she wanted... this lazy futuristic bun; the gorgeous edge runner delivered me a few pecks and cuddled against me, she's so beautiful that I still can't believe she's mine.
"I was asking about Gentek," I asked her while taking us to our room.
"I couldn't find anything... this company has a very powerful firewall, moreover... their scripts are done in a language that I don't know of... it is so heavy duty that it makes it quite suspicious".
"No company working alongside them in Japan?"
"Your father's relationship with that company is unknown, but... one thing is for sure Brand, they're suspicious... there is also something quite suspicious going on in America, related to the news and broadcasts... there are gaps in dates... it started first in states such as Ohio or Brooklyn, but it is expanding and now even New York is the same, it is as if the broadcast channels are hiding something".
"When did this start?" I asked, placing her beside Saeko after entering the room.
"Two months ago... any idea?"
"Should we fly to the states to research this company better? how long would it take you to decipher this new language that they made?"
"It shouldn't take me too long, but I'd have to stop doing some of the stuff that I am doing to prepare for the catastrophe, do you think it is worth it?"
"No, I want you focused on us, babe~"
"Hush... we will talk more tomorrow... come here, pillow" The princess ordered me again to go her way and obediently allow myself to be hugged.
With all due respect, love... you can suck on this. There is a better pillow here.
I shoved my beloved Saeko towards her, Lucy wasn't happy.
"What's the meaning of this? she's soft but..." Lucy rolled her eyes and hugged Saeko, sinking her face in the beauty's breasts... as a response, Saeko tightened her embrace around Lucy to the point the latter almost grunted in pain. Saeko is quite strong alright?
Why did you think I did this? I love Saeko but... she can be quite rough... I'm looking forward to our lovemaking.
"But I got a softer pillow" I quickly entered Shizuka's embrace and sank my face in the endless valley that's her breasts, my hands wrapped around her waist and one of her legs quickly climbed up to make us more comfortable. Everything happened in front of Lucy's outraged and half-lucid expression.
"Hmn, B-Brand-chan y-you pervert... don't suck t-that..." Shizuka was talking in her sleep, I'm indeed sucking her nipple through the gown, how does she know?
Anyway, I enjoyed my beautiful evening, looking forward to spending yet another day with my girlfriends and savouring Yuriko's lips once again.
Alas, when I woke up I did so to an unexpected surprise.
**

"Brand, quickly wake up!"
I heard Saya's voice and my body was shaken, the problem is that I'm still within Shizuka's arms so waking me up and taking me away from here... it might be easier to just kill me.
"Hurry up, Brand! Otou-sama is going to take me and Okaa-sama away!"
...
"The fuck you said?"
It was as if I was thrown a bucket of cold water, I stood up from the bed in a heartbeat to see Saya in a panic, from the side of the bed I took the sword that had been gifted to me by Saeko as my Crossbow materialised in my other hand.
'Who the fuck is taking my Yuriko and my Saya, huh?!'
I came out through the main door, unbeknownst to me, just in short and it was there when I saw Yuriko being pulled by the wrist, she was discussing with uncle Souchirou, this man was supposed to be here next week, not today!
"Stop pulling Souichirou!" She yelled but her strength was clearly feeble compared to him, she was still in her nightgown, not even changed. My uncle had a sheathed Katana beside him and was wearing a suit... behind him was the man I recognised as Yuriko's driver.
"You were quite intimate with that brat in the car, huh?" His voice was insidious and I immediately knew the cat was out of the bag.
"How do you know?! w-wait... you put spies on me!?" Yuriko threw her driver a murderous gaze.
"Do you think I'd feel confident to just leave you like that? in this city filled with Hyenas...? I certainly didn't expect my own nephew to be one of them, big mistake... where is Saya? we're leaving"
He grew more forceful to pull her away, likely intending to lock her up in the car and then come back for Saya, as if I'd let him.
"Release her wrist motherfucker...! I won't say it twice"
My words brought silence to the room as even Saeko flashed beside me with her sword ready, she doesn't know Souchirou, as far as she's concerned some intruder is here and is pulling Yuriko away.
The man in question turned around to see me pointing at him with my crossbow, ready to end his miserable life were he to make the wrong move.
"Brat, is that how you speak to your uncle?"
"I don't give a shit, release her or I'll put two arrows through your skull"
"Brand, calm down... l-lower that weapon!" Yuriko was shivering, I could see it... the situation had gone out of control; not the way she was expecting everything to go.
Souchirou released her and without even thinking twice, I pulled her behind me together with Saya.
"Why are you dragging her?" I asked him threateningly.
"Do you think I don't know what the two of you have done? consider yourself lucky that you're my nephew and 'his' son... otherwise, I'd have killed you by now" His voice was cold and without contemplation, his gaze told me he was ready to pounce.
"Is that so? why don't you come and try, tough guy".
"Throw that shit away then and come at me with the sword, pussyhole!" He readied his sword and my eyebrows twitched, so it is a fight of gangsters in the end, huh?
"Then let's settle this~" I threw the crossbow towards Saeko who caught it and retreated, with how honourable she is as a lady, I know she understands the underlying meaning of this duel.
"Wait you two stop! DON'T!" Yuriko saw both of us drag real swords and wanted to intervene, but she was pulled back by Saeko and a frightened Saya.
I took Kuroikazuchi o Kiri out of the scabbard and while still in shorts charged at my uncle who did much the same.
*CLAANGG!!!*
Sparks flew all over as I felt his strength behind that blow, it made me grit my teeth and ground my feet to the ground, this bastard is strong.
Upon seeing that both Saya and Yuriko began to yell at us to stop, but there is no stopping this.
He knows I'm stealing Yuriko and his face is telling me he intends to fight to the end for her.
I'm not going to negotiate with my woman's freedom either, Yuriko like me, not him. I don't give a flying fart about their marriage. The only good thing to ever come out of that was Saya and she's mine too.
So... this is what it has become. A duel with real swords between my uncle and me.
The winner takes Aunty Yuriko.
I couldn't have hoped for anything better~
