Yuji Tsubakiwara was the adopted son of the Tsubakiwara family.
He had lost his parents when he was young and was adopted by Mira Tsubakiwara. He had no blood relation to the twin sisters, Yuna Tsubakiwara and Nina Tsubakiwara. Having grown up together, they were considered Childhood Friends.
He had a good relationship with the two Tsubakiwara sisters and Madam Mira.
If nothing unexpected had happened, Yuji Tsubakiwara would have become a man who had it all: possessing not only the beautiful twin sisters but also securing Madam Mira for his Harems.
If nothing unexpected had happened…
Unfortunately, the unexpected had already occurred.
It wasn't just the car accident; more importantly, it was Alex. Heh, no prey targeted by Alex had ever escaped. The Tsubakiwara family was destined to face this.
And now, a frantic Mira Tsubakiwara rushed to the hospital, her eyes immediately finding her two daughters crying hysterically.
"Yuna! Nina!"
"Mom—"
Seeing their mother, the twin girls flung themselves into the woman's arms, their faces etched with grief. The tear stains on their cheeks were still wet, their eyes remained red, and they were faintly sobbing.
Mira Tsubakiwara was indeed a woman of extreme allure. Her exquisite and perfect face was like that of a Succubus Queen, her bright pink lips slightly parted, gasping.
The beauty mark beneath her lip was enticing, adding an air of seduction to her already stunning face. However, the car accident involving her adopted son left the Wife looking haggard.
The pale, weary look on her face paradoxically gave her a delicate, pained beauty.
Her figure was graceful and sensual, full-bodied and voluptuous, brimming with mature charm.
She truly is Mira Tsubakiwara, as beautiful as I imagined. Inconspicuously lurking in the distance, Alex, wearing a baseball cap, scrutinised the three women with a playful look, his eyes shining.
It was the look of a predator spotting its prey.
"I know what happened," Mira Tsubakiwara bit her lip, resting her hands on her daughters' heads, comforting them. "It's okay. Yuji will be fine."
"Mmm…"
Words of comfort felt weak and ineffective, but that was all they could do to reassure themselves. They could only pray silently, hoping that Yuji Tsubakiwara would safely emerge from danger.
If Yuji couldn't be saved… The Yuna sisters were distraught, unable to imagine such a scenario. They harbored considerable affection for Yuji Tsubakiwara.
It wasn't just familial love; it was romantic love too.
In the anxious wait, the air became almost solidified and heavy. A feeling of unease spread, and they could clearly hear their hearts pounding. In this tense, anxious atmosphere, the passage of time seemed to slow.
After an unknown duration, the opening of the emergency room doors startled everyone.
"Doctor, how is Yuji?!"
"Are you the patient's family? He is currently out of immediate danger, but…"
"But what?"
In the patient's room, Yuji Tsubakiwara lay on the bed, his eyes tightly shut, connected to various tubes and medical equipment. As the doctor said, he had been pulled out of immediate danger. This was good news.
But the bad news was that the unfortunate Yuji Tsubakiwara had become a vegetable…
The women stood beside him, wiping away tears. Although Mira Tsubakiwara had considerable means to arrange better medical care for him, even sending him abroad, no one could guarantee a cure for a vegetative state.
It was the same overseas.
Even if a miracle occurred, according to the doctor, Yuji's body would struggle to stand up again. In simpler terms, he would be… paralyzed.
The devastating news left the women in the room tearful and emotionally shattered until the room door opened. The sudden entrance of Alex and Madam Natsumi paused the grief for a few seconds.
"Who are you?"
The sudden appearance of strangers drew Mira Tsubakiwara's attention. It was impossible not to notice: the boy wearing a cap and the graceful Black Demoness beside him.
This peculiar pairing made her feel uneasy.
Alex did not speak, and Madam Natsumi also remained silent. She looked at the unlucky boy on the bed, then at the three weary women, her expression odd.
What is Alex planning to do…
As for Alex, his focus was entirely on the three women. His eyes, in the shadow of his cap brim, gleamed as he judged the women with a playful and rather impolite gaze.
Madam Mira's beautiful eyes narrowed gradually…
"Tsk tsk, he looks truly miserable," His gaze returned to Yuji Tsubakiwara. That collision at the crossroad had completely incapacitated him. He was effectively dead.
"Who exactly are you?!"
Mira Tsubakiwara was angry. Her narrow, beautiful eyes flashed with sharpness. This young Wife with an exquisite face also possessed a powerful demeanor and a capable hand.
But Alex was unafraid.
"Madam, who I am is unimportant. What matters is that I can help you solve your current predicament," Alex tugged at the brim of his cap, smiling broadly. "What do you think?"
Solve their current predicament?
The twin sisters, Yuna Tsubakiwara and Nina Tsubakiwara, exchanged glances. Was he talking about saving Yuji? A glimmer of hope immediately sparked in the hearts of the two somewhat naive and pure girls. However, Madam Mira's expression remained unchanged.
She completely disbelieved the stranger.
"If you continue to cause trouble…" Mira Tsubakiwara pulled out her phone with a cold expression, seemingly preparing to call the police or someone else. This action tensed Madam Natsumi's nerves, but Alex merely spread his hands.
"My words might not be very convincing, but, Miss Mira, aren't you going to pay attention to your surroundings?"
What does he mean?
Before Mira Tsubakiwara could react, the twin sisters Yuna and Nina suddenly covered their mouths, their eyes wide as if they had seen an unbelievable sight. "Mom, that—"
On the instrument, the heart rate of the vegetative Yuji Tsubakiwara suddenly elongated, giving the impression that something had gone wrong. However, it wasn't just the sound of the instrument; even the background noise from the vicinity of the hospital had unconsciously vanished.
It wasn't that the noise was blocked out; it was simply a… slowdown of the passage of Time.
The three Tsubakiwara women in the hospital room looked at the world outside the window, seemingly frozen, and then at the strange boy whose face was obscured by the cap brim. Their pupils dilated in shock.
Not only were the three of them frightened, but even Madam Natsumi, acting as a sort of good luck charm beside Alex, was shaken by the astonishing scene, quietly drawing a sharp breath.
Could this… be Alex's power?
Thinking back to how he had bestowed youth upon her with his lifespan, and now this shocking scene where time was nearly at a standstill, Madam Natsumi curved her lips and offered a faint smile as she watched the women's stunned expressions.
She felt an inexplicable sense of pride.
He's truly worthy of being my Master. He's amazing.
"You… What is this?"
Heh heh.
Alex smiled without speaking.
Even though Mira Tsubakiwara had experienced a great deal in life, she couldn't calm her internal turmoil. She put her phone away and stood up, filled with hope. "You, you can really save Yuji?"
"Of course, I can," Before the three Tsubakiwara women could get excited, Alex grinned, like a devil showing his true fangs. "The question is, what price can you pay?"
"…"
These words instantly cooled Mira Tsubakiwara's boiling heart.
