"I'm home."
I've returned home.
"Welcome back, is what I say."
"Kurumi..."
In the living room, Kurumi was sitting alone on the sofa. Looking at her in her school uniform, she must have just gotten back too.
"You were home."
"Yes. After seeing off Lala-san."
"Oh, thanks for that."
"No, no, it's not something to be thanked for... Ah, yes, about today's commotion, Deviluke has agreed to control the information."
"Yeah. I got a message about that too."
I'd heard from Zastin that they would try to keep the incident from leaking out.
That's fine, but...
"You had a clone hidden in my shadow, didn't you?"
"What are you talking about?"
Kurumi feigned ignorance without changing her expression, but...
"Your clone attacked me in the dark."
"Huh?"
I told a small lie. Kurumi's expression twisted in a comical way.
By "attacked," I didn't mean she physically assaulted me. She probably understood what I meant in an instant. What she did.
"No, no, there's no way such a lewd 'me' exists."
"That's not true."
Another Kurumi's voice came from behind me. It was the clone that had dived back into my shadow after the incident.
"What, you! What are you doing?!"
The original Kurumi stood up from the sofa and shouted.
Kurumi's clones have their own individual consciousness and aren't completely subservient to the original. Considering what this clone-Kurumi just said to me, she probably didn't intend for me to find out.
"That's my line. Do you know how difficult a job it is to monitor Shido-san?"
M-monitoring, she says. Right. I was being monitored, wasn't I?
"I-is it that difficult? Isn't it just watching?"
"That's right. Just watching. Do you know how difficult that is...!"
...As someone who knows the details, I can't really pry.
"What do you mean? I want to hear the details."
"Then..."
The two Kurumis sat facing each other. What a strange sight.
"The stress is immense."
"Stress?"
Stress, huh...
"Please recall what Shido-san has been doing for the past week!"
"Y-yes. I've received reports... I thought it was very much like Shido-san."
So, having relationships with multiple women is "like me"? Is that so. I guess it is...
"If you only hear it in words, you might react that way. But please, try to imagine what it's like for me, actually seeing those scenes!"
"...!"
The original Kurumi gasped.
"In any case, I'd like you to stop assigning the same 'me' to monitor Shido-san from now on."
"...I understand. I was shallow..."
What is this atmosphere...? But, there must be something only she understands. The discussion seems to be over.
The clone Kurumi sank into the original's shadow. As she did, she whispered something in her ear.
"Ah, but..."
"Yes?"
"In order to relieve my stress, I had Shido-san keep me company for a little while."
"What do you mean?"
"Don't you understand without me explaining it?"
"..."
The clone completely vanished into the shadow. At the same time, Kurumi looked at me.
"Shido-san? You said the clone attacked you earlier, didn't you?"
"Yeah, well, the wording might have been a bit misleading, but... a little bit."
"How many times?"
"Once, but..."
"Then let's do one pull."
"Here?"
"Here."
"Right now?"
"Right now. I have the right to confirm this."
I don't know the logic behind it, but I pulled the gacha as I was told.
---------
Mysterious Mirror
By focusing your mind, you can see someone you are connected to.
You can also touch them through the mirror.
---------
"What is this?"
"This is..."
I'd almost forgotten since I'd been getting a lot of Kamen Rider-related items lately, but this gacha can give you things like this too.
It looks like a normal mirror. Since it says to focus my mind, I'll try it.
"Oh."
"Oh my."
The mirror showed not me, but Kurumi. Even when I changed the angle of the mirror, the angle of the Kurumi it showed didn't change.
"Hmm."
As another test, I poked my finger into the mirror and touched Kurumi's cheek.
"Hya!"
Kurumi recoiled a little.
"Did you feel that?"
"Y-yes. I felt it, and my cheek dented a little the moment you touched it..."
"I see, I see."
This might be amazing. It could be used for anything depending on how you use it. I could even use it for some... naughty things.
"I wonder if it can show other places?"
"Other places?"
"For example..."
I focused my mind. Not just on Kurumi, but on a more specific detail.
"Eek?! W-wait, why...!"
Kurumi frantically stood up and held down her skirt. The mirror showed black cloth framed by skin.
Looking at Kurumi, she must have recognized the sight. And that means the mirror showed exactly what I was thinking.
"Shido-san, don't tell me..."
"Yeah. That's right."
The mirror was now showing Kurumi's underwear.
"If it can be used like this..."
My finger bounced off her plump thigh, even more fleshy than her cheek. I could even trace it.
"S-Shido-san, that tickles...!!"
Kurumi writhed and held down her skirt.
Even as her thighs were pressed tightly together, my finger in the mirror was unaffected. Without any resistance, my finger moved closer and closer to the black cloth.
"Hah..."
At some point, Kurumi relaxed and gave herself to me. It was a sign that this experiment could escalate from here.
But at that moment,
Gacha!
The sound of the front door opening echoed.
"...!"
We both came to our senses. I pulled my finger out of the mirror and quickly hid it behind my back.
About 10 seconds later, the ones who appeared in the living room were...
"Oh, Master. You've already returned."
Kokkoro, Artoria, and Alter came back, carrying bags of groceries. As we'd discussed via email, Kokkoro would be making a delicious meal for us today.
"Yes. Today, I will be putting my heart and soul into cooking for you."
"I'm looking forward to it. And thanks to you two for helping with the groceries."
I thanked Artoria and the others as well.
"We will also help with the dinner preparations."
"Although Kokkoro will be doing the actual cooking, we want to be of some small help to Shido."
Small help, huh... Well, when it comes to cooking, the power of these two kings is indeed small. You could say Kokkoro's power is just too strong.
As we were talking, Kurumi pulled on my sleeve.
"Well then, Shido-san. Shall we go to our room and relax for a bit?"
"...Kurumi, you're not planning something strange, are you?"
Alter narrowed her eyes. She must have sensed something. Her tone sounded certain.
"No, of course not. I just want Shido-san to be able to relax. If you stay here, you'll be worried about the food, won't you?"
"...Well, I'll let that slide for now."
It was obvious to Alter that this was an excuse to be alone, but she was willing to overlook it this time.
"Then, Shido-san, shall we go?"
"Yeah."
The two of us left the living room.
With me, with that mirror in my pocket.
---------
"I got a little flustered, didn't I?"
"Yes, you did..."
We weren't doing anything serious, but it was only a matter of time before we did. These kinds of tools that can be used for sex have a dangerous allure. It feels like it would be easy to lose control.
"So, what will we do?"
"Hmm..."
What to do? Was she asking if we were going to "do it." But in this situation, not doing anything is impossible.
"Of course, if you're okay with it, Kurumi."
"Please don't make me say that."
We leaned our faces closer,
"Mmmph."
And shared a light kiss.
Just as we were heading towards the bed,
"But..."
"Hmm?"
"No. Lately, the consumption of my Zafkiel has been intense, so... I think it's a bit shameless, but I was hoping to have it multiple times."
Kurumi uses her own lifespan to use her abilities. If she does nothing, she will die, but by stealing the lifespan of others, she can extend her own and use her abilities.
In this world, she's been getting by on my "stuff," but it's true that she hadn't had a "refill" since the summer battle.
"Oh yeah, that's right... If you want to, Kurumi, I'm totally fine with it."
"I can't possibly endure Shido-san's 'assaults' multiple times all by myself."
"Don't be silly."
"Shido-san, you should understand just how much of a 'thing' you possess."
I know that's probably due to my ability to become the perfect size for my partner, but I can't help but feel a little happy.
"So... 'me'."
"Ah."
Another Kurumi appeared from Kurumi's shadow.
"What is it, me? I just got a rest a little while ago."
It seems this is the clone that just went into the shadow, the one who was monitoring me.
"Yes, I thought you should have a night with Shido-san now."
"What...?"
If someone called me out and said something like that all of a sudden, I'd probably react the same way.
And I understood Kurumi's intention.
If a single person wasn't enough, she would just multiply herself. It seems a bit counterproductive to use her abilities to refuel them, but...
"Um, I don't follow what's going on..."
The clone-Kurumi tilted her head, confused.
"I have given you a very difficult role. So much so that you even disobeyed my orders and revealed my secrets to Shido-san. That's why I want you to release that desire here."
"That doesn't sound considerate at all. And isn't this forced, with no other options?"
I think so too.
"Shido-san, please make her understand."
"Make her understand?"
"Explain to this stubborn girl what we're about to do."
"No, what I don't understand is why we're even having this conversation..."
The clone-Kurumi asked for further explanation with a look of exasperation.
"..."
I quietly crept up behind her and touched the clone-Kurumi's clothes with my right hand, which had the Imagine Breaker activated.
At that moment,
"Hyaa!"
The clone-Kurumi's Astral Dress exploded. From my position behind her, I had a clear view of her unblemished back and buttocks, while the original Kurumi in front of her saw her breasts and lower abdomen.
Her Astral Dress must have included her underwear, because she was now completely naked. Even the hair ornaments on her head had vanished.
A moment later, the clone-Kurumi understood what had happened to her. She tried to cover her body, but...
"You won't! Zafkiel, Seventh Bullet: Zayin!!"
A bullet hit her while she was distracted.
This bullet, which completely stops the target's time, froze the clone-Kurumi in place.
"I told you..."
You shouldn't use your abilities...
"Oh well, I'll make up for it. Now, hurry up and get ready."
"Get ready?"
With this whirlwind of events, I haven't had a chance to prepare my lower half... Wait.
"I see..."
"Shido-san? Is something wrong?"
The clone-Kurumi in front of me was not moving an inch.
"This clone-Kurumi, she's no different from the original Kurumi, is she?"
"That's right. This clone was created from my past self using Zafkiel. Her abilities might be a little weaker, and she can't use her Angel, but other than that..."
"I knew it..."
"Shido-san?"
So, this naked Kurumi standing here has the exact same body as the original Kurumi.
I embraced the clone-Kurumi from behind. Time was stopped, but the sensation of her skin was the same as a living person's. When I moved my hands to the front, I felt soft mounds, and at their peaks, there were still soft protrusions.
As I traced her smooth stomach, my hand moved down to her lower abdomen, where I felt a perfectly dry crease.
All of her was the same as her original body.
"U-um, Shido-san? It's embarrassing to be touched like this in front of me..."
"You're about to have sex with the clone-Kurumi in front of yourself, so you can't be saying things like that, can you?"
"...!"
I sensed Kurumi gasp.
Had she forgotten, or had she not considered it? A blush spread across Kurumi's face.
Right now, with time stopped, the clone-Kurumi couldn't say anything, but once time started again, her mouth would be filled with moans and cries. She would witness a girl with her exact same body copulating like an animal, losing all composure.
When that happened, her embarrassment would be far greater than it was now.
"...I-it doesn't matter. I was the one who suggested it. I will... watch your s-s-sex... act... carefully."
She declared firmly, even as her face reddened. This is Kurumi we're talking about, so maybe she's reached a point of no return.
She doesn't have to watch, though. She could just stay in another room until it's over.
But if that's what she wants...
I laid the clone-Kurumi down on the bed, spread her legs into an M-shape, and got between them. I'd feel a bit weird inserting it while time was stopped, so I'll wait until time starts again.
"The effects of Zafkiel will wear off soon."
"Yeah."
Just as Kurumi said,
"...Huh?! Wh-what's going on with me...? Hyaaaah?!"
Time began to move again, and at the same time, she writhed. The sensations I had been touching while time was stopped all rushed to her at once.
"Kurumi, are you okay?"
"Shido-san? W-what's with that getup...?!"
She immediately recognized the object rubbing against her private parts. I also sped up the friction, using the sudden gush of fluid as lubrication.
"'Me'."
"W-what is it, me?"
"Just as I said earlier. You are going to have sex with Shido-san to secure the lifespan for Zafkiel. Of course, only if you're okay with it. If not, I'll ask another 'me'."
Perhaps she had resolved herself, as Kurumi spoke in a calm, flat tone.
"I-it's not that I'm not okay with it... I-I understand. Shido-san, please..."
The flushed Kurumi nodded her head in agreement.
