Chapter 48 ⟴ Hidden in Plain Sight

The profit-sharing contract had actually been prepared for the Star Cult Leader — it was Haruno's bargaining chip to ask for his help in saving the family.

Though Jujutsu Sorcerers possessed powers beyond normal human understanding, the Star Cult Religion and its leader at the shrine operated by conventional rules.

At the shrine, both Mimiko and Nanako performed exorcisms for payment, indicating that their operations required financial support. This gave Haruno hope of securing a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer.

If they could help the Yukinoshita family overcome this crisis, money was a small price to pay. That's why all terms in the profit-sharing contract favored the Sorcerer — her offer to give up half the profits was genuine.

After a moment's surprise, Yukino rose to retrieve the contract. Though certain of Daiki's agreement, she maintained a poker face.

"Oh right, the profit-sharing contract is 120 pages long — don't miss any." Haruno cautioned, like a protective older sister guiding a naive child.

"I know!" Yukino snapped. Her sister's patronizing attitude always irritated her.

Still, she felt a surge of pride — after all, she had orchestrated this negotiation entirely on her own.

She closed the wooden door and headed toward her sister's room.

"Daiki-kun, your performance was brilliant." Once alone, Haruno threw herself into his arms.

She pressed his hand against her voluptuous breasts, savoring his warm touch. Every moment since their previous night together — sleeping, dreaming, waking — had been filled with memories of those precious seconds.

"Here's your reward for such an excellent performance!" She whispered hotly against his ear.

"Aren't you worried about Yukino returning?" Daiki asked, despite enjoying himself.

"Hehe, I came prepared! I've shuffled the order of those profit-sharing contracts and hidden one behind that cabinet. Between organizing them, noticing one missing, and searching for it, Yukino will need quite some time." A cunning smile played on her lips, like a fox savoring her successful scheme.

Could this be what they call hiding something in plain sight?

Before Yukino could return, she quickly opened the windows to circulate fresh air through the room.

Getting back to him, she knelt and reached for his pants, freeing Daiki from his confinement.

"We might not have enough time, please keep watch, Daiki-kun."

As she lowered her head deliberately, Daiki felt an intense wave of heat course through his entire being as she took him into her warm, inviting mouth. A tantalizing rhythm filled the still air, punctuated only by their synchronized breathing.

She worked diligently, each moment rekindling memories of the previous night. The familiar sensations enveloped him in comfortable pressure.

Watching her rhythmic movements, Daiki gently pressed down, his right hand intertwining with her hair as he held firmly, guided by her natural responses.

While Haruno moaned under his commanding presence, her efforts intensified, bringing him to new heights of pleasure.

Meanwhile, Yukino was organizing the profit-sharing contracts her sister had prepared.

All 120 pages needed to be verified meticulously — she couldn't afford any mistakes. She carefully checked each page while reorganizing them into proper order.

"Hmm, why is one still missing?" Cold sweat appeared on Yukino's forehead.

If not for her sister's reminder, she might have overlooked it entirely.

"I've checked all the cabinet drawers, but where is it?"

She thoroughly searched the cabinets and drawers, finding them empty. With no other choice, she began checking every dark corner of the room.

Finally, she discovered the missing contract behind the cabinet.

Yukino wiped her brow, realizing how much time had passed. She quickly gathered the contract and returned to Daiki.

As she opened the wooden door, a cold breeze struck her face.

"Why is the window suddenly open?" Yukino wondered aloud.

She handed the organized contracts to Haruno, who briefly reviewed them before passing them to Daiki.

He casually flipped through the pages and found nothing amiss.

"This will do."

"Thank you so much, Daiki-kun. We'll keep in touch by phone." Haruno bowed gracefully, discreetly wiping her mouth.

Her beautiful eyes held a hint of regret. The contract signing couldn't be delayed any longer, and she hadn't gotten what she wanted. She still craved that taste…

"Sister, shouldn't we inform Miss Mimiko?"

Haruno was about to leave with her sister and the contract when Yukino's suggestion brought her back to reality.

Though they had secured Daiki's help, they couldn't risk offending the Star Shrine. The proper procedures still needed to be followed, if only symbolically.

"I'll speak with Miss Mimiko first, Yukino. Wait here for a moment."

Haruno reported the situation to her mother by phone, then hurriedly left. After her figure disappeared down the corridor, Yukino closed the wooden door.

Daiki fell silent, contemplating why this scene felt so familiar.

Yukino approached him wordlessly, her movements deliberate. As she drew closer, she knelt before him. Her light hands briefly traced over his abdomen before pulling down his pants.

"Consider this an advance thank you." She paused briefly before continuing, "Heh, is your mind always in the gutter?"

Seeing his reaction, Yukino misinterpreted it, assuming he was thinking about her sister Haruno.

She channeled her frustration into passionate action. Despite her anger, memories of their previous night together lingered — too intense to forget, going even in her dreams.

Daiki employed his practiced technique, grasping her long black hair into a ponytail. His grip was firm yet measured as he guided her movements with calculated restraint.

Each motion intensified his response — her inexperience mixed with eager determination created an overwhelming sensation. Her passionate dedication and subtle movements demonstrated both vulnerability and resolve.

When the moment peaked, he chose Yukino as his recipient instead of Haruno. As the essence flowed down her throat, with her savoring that taste once again, the breeze from outside carried away their shared breath.

By Haruno's return, everything had concluded.

"This is my contact information, please don't forget it, Daiki-kun."

Her words carried genuine weight — their family's safety now depended on him. Whether facing fearless armed assassins or the lurking Zombie Devil, both posed lethal threats to the Yukinoshita family.

Daiki nodded, saving her contact information in his phone.

They remained at the shrine until noon before departing.

Mimiko watched the retreating figure with palpable relief.

"It was terrifying — living with such a monster. I couldn't sleep, thinking he might kill me with a single strike." She wiped her forehead, fear still evident in her gesture.

"When did Mr. Geto say he'd return?" Nanako asked.

"Uh, just 'soon.'"

"Isn't that exactly what he said last time?" Nanako's mouth twitched as she let out a resigned sigh.
