I Took A Succubus's First Time-Chapter 105: Worries
Kouhei stood at the stove, the faint sizzle of eggs on the hot pan filling the small apartment. The smell of tamagoyaki drifted through the air, light and sweet, mingling with the subtle warmth of the morning sunlight pouring through the window. His movements were steady, though his mind was anything but calm.
Even though he wasn't living here anymore, his aunt still paid the rent, utilities, and everything else. Every time he thought about it, guilt gnawed at him like a dull blade scraping against bone. He didn't want to waste her money, but with his life in constant danger, what choice did he have?
"I should tell her I'm staying somewhere else now," he muttered, flipping the egg with practiced precision. The soft, golden-yellow surface shimmered under the heat, filling him with a small sense of pride. "But how do I even explain that?"
Behind him, faint sounds of cleaning echoed through the apartment. Aria was busy wiping down the already spotless counter, humming softly under her breath. He'd told her to stop—it wasn't like anyone was going to live here anymore—but she'd insisted. She said it was only fair since he was cooking for her.
Despite his protests, he allowed it, though watching her move with such care stirred something deep in his chest. It felt... intimate, like they were newlyweds playing house. And with her now officially his fourth girlfriend, maybe the idea wasn't so far-fetched.
He pulled the eggs off the pan and plated them neatly. The faint steam curled up like ghostly ribbons, mixing with the savory aroma of miso soup bubbling softly nearby. It wasn't much—a humble meal made with whatever ingredients were left in the fridge—but it was something.
"I just hope Aria-san likes this," he said quietly, as if the words were a prayer meant only for the food in front of him.
With everything ready, he cupped rice from the cooker, the heat warming his hands through the bowl, and arranged the plates on the small dining table.
"Aria-san! Breakfast is ready!" he called out, his voice carrying through the quiet apartment.
She appeared moments later, her presence lighting up the room in a way that made his breath hitch. The smell of food hit her, and her eyes lit up, a small smile curving her lips.
They ate in comfortable silence, savoring the peaceful moment. It wasn't extravagant, but there was something intimate about it, and Kouhei couldn't help but enjoy it.
After they finished eating, they decided to head back to Saonji Mansion.
For some reason, their walk back to the car felt... closer. Not physically closer, but emotionally. Something unspoken lingered between them, making Kouhei's chest tighten in a way that wasn't unpleasant.

Meanwhile, Hina and Nagisa were stationed just across from Kouhei's apartment. The building stood tall against the early morning sky, facing a park bathed in soft sunlight. Their makeshift camp—a modest tent they'd pitched under a grove of trees—served as their lookout spot. They had spent the night there, keeping a vigilant eye on Kouhei's place to ensure nothing disrupted his peace.
As dawn broke, the pair caught sight of Aria and Kouhei stepping out of the apartment. The way they moved, the subtle glow radiating from their skin, and the unmistakable satisfaction etched into their expressions told an unspoken story.
"Looks like they did it," Hina murmured, a sly smirk curling her lips as her eyes gleamed with knowing amusement.
"Yeah… it definitely looks like they did," Nagisa replied, her cheeks dusted pink as her gaze lingered on the pair.
It was impossible not to notice the way their bodies seemed lighter, more alive, like they'd shed some invisible burden. That wasn't just any glow—it was the kind born of raw, unfiltered pleasure. The kind that screamed orgasms and whispered of nights filled with moans, sweat, and cumming until exhaustion claimed them.
"I-I can't believe Kou-kun actually managed to bed Aria so fast," Nagisa stammered, her voice tinged with awe and disbelief. "I mean, in just one day?"
"Well, the two of them have been spending a lot of time together," Hina said, her tone nonchalant but tinged with pride. "Aria's been training Kouhei, so it's only natural for things to escalate between them this quickly. Spending all that time together… it was only a matter of time before things got physical. Honestly, I'm happy for them. Kou-kun's finally starting to come into his own."
There was a warmth in Hina's smile as she watched Kouhei, who seemed more confident with each passing day. The timid, unsure boy she'd once known was steadily transforming into a man who didn't hesitate to claim what he wanted. He was building his harem, one woman at a time, and she could see that his resolve had only grown stronger.
But Nagisa's expression clouded with concern. Her lips parted slightly as she hesitated, debating whether to voice her thoughts. Finally, she turned to Hina, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Aren't you worried about this, though?"

"What do you mean?"
"I mean… if Kou-kun keeps adding more women to his harem, then our time with him is going to get divided. The more girls there are, the less time he'll have for each of us. Doesn't that bother you? As his first, aren't you worried about losing your place?"
Nagisa's concern was evident in her voice, but Hina didn't seem fazed. Instead, she regarded Nagisa with a calm, knowing expression.
"No," Hina finally said. "I'm not worried. Kou-kun's heart is big enough for all of us. As long as he's happy, that's enough for me."
Nagisa's eyes widened at Hina's words. For a moment, she was taken aback, her thoughts swirling as a realization struck her. Hina, the girl who never associated herself with anyone, who always maintained a cold, expressionless demeanor, was now radiating with emotion. It wasn't just Kouhei who had changed—Hina had changed too.
Both of them had transformed each other.
"Hm… I guess I'll have to start thinking like you, Hina," Nagisa said softly, a small smile tugging at her lips.
The truth was, Nagisa's earlier question had stemmed from her own anxiety. She was the one worried about Kouhei's attention being stretched thinner with every new addition to his harem. It was only natural for her to feel that way. But hearing Hina's calm and resolute perspective made her realize how pointless those worries really were.
"I guess they're heading back to the mansion now," Hina said, her eyes following the retreating car. "Let's head back too, Nagisa."
With that, the two gathered their things and made their way back to the mansion.

Meanwhile, at the Saonji Mansion, Yuuna had just returned from Hell.
"Welcome back, President," Kozue greeted her, her voice calm but respectful.
"Glad to be back," Yuuna replied, stretching her arms as if shaking off the remnants of her trip. Then she noticed something amiss. "Hmm? You're the only one here? Where is everybody?"
"Ah… well, Okumura-kun and Aria-san aren't back yet, and Hina and Nagisa texted me earlier saying their date is going fine."
Yuuna's lips curled into a knowing smile. "I guess Kouhei-kun and Aria did it last night. This is good news."
"Is it really, President?" Kozue asked hesitantly, her brow furrowing as she tried to suppress her doubt.
Yuuna turned toward her, a soft, warm smile spreading across her face. She understood the unease in Kozue. She knew why Kozue would be skeptical, especially when it came to Kouhei. But Yuuna didn't fault her for it.
"You don't have to worry, Kozue," Yuuna said gently. "Kouhei isn't the kind of person you think he is."
Her faith in Kouhei wasn't blind. It wasn't just trust or love—it was a deep understanding of his character. Yuuna knew Kouhei was a good man.
"You've probably started to realize that yourself by now," she added, her voice tinged with certainty.
Kozue looked away, her expression conflicted. "I don't really…" she began, but her hesitation betrayed her uncertainty.
Yuuna's smile widened, her tone encouraging. "That's okay. Take your time. Try to understand him better. I think Kouhei-kun is also trying to understand you too."
There was still so much uncertainty clouding Kozue's mind, but Yuuna was patient. She knew that with time, the two of them would come to understand each other. It might take longer than she hoped, but it would happen.
Kozue lowered her gaze, her fingers fidgeting slightly. After a moment of silence, she murmured, "I'll… think about it."
The air around them was still, heavy with unsaid words and feelings too complicated to address in the moment. But then, a low hum sliced through the silence, the sound of a car engine growing closer, and both Yuuna and Kozue turned toward the mansion's entrance.
The hum of the engine grew louder, more distinct, and a sleek black vehicle pulled into view. The sound of tires rolling over gravel was the only noise for a moment before the car came to a smooth stop in front of the mansion's grand doors.
The car parked smoothly in the driveway. Moments later, the doors opened, and two familiar figures stepped out.
It was Aria and Kouhei.
