She Stepped into the Abyss and Took a Closer Look

Hitori already knew about what was going on between her and Luo Zhen. The two of them had even quietly sounded each other out.

Did that mean they both already understood the tangled relationship between them?

She tugged at her skirt, then reached out right in front of Hitori and grabbed Luo Zhen's butt.

"It's about time. We should head back, right?"

"Let's rest a little, have dinner, and get to bed early. We need to get up early tomorrow."

As she spoke, she kneaded him forcefully.

She knew full well that Hitori had seen her outrageous behavior, yet Hitori insisted on pretending nothing had happened.

On the way back, she kept up the same motion.

Michiyo held Futari's hand with one hand and wrapped the other around Luo Zhen's waist.

Hitori followed behind them and saw her mother's hand reach around Luo Zhen from behind, slipping into the crucial place between his legs.

"Guh..."

Her legs trembled. At this point, she completely understood.

Everything had been thoroughly exposed. Michiyo made no attempt to hide it and even acted like this right in front of her.

She even turned around and smiled at Hitori.

"Hey, Hitori, did you enjoy this hot spring trip?"

She was asking whether the hot springs had felt good, but her words were brimming with implication.

Hitori felt her heart trembling.

"Mm, I had a lot of fun."

She smiled too. Since everything between them had already become thoroughly tangled, they might as well see it through to the end.

In this crazy world, what was impossible about falling into an even deeper madness?

Luo Zhen was an incredibly promiscuous guy, and she liked seeing him get close to other women.

And there was the Polygamy and Polyandry Law too, which meant... there was nothing to worry about afterward.

Hitori felt certain that something special would happen tonight.

She was even starting to look forward to it impatiently.

They had been out for quite a while, and the scenery had been lovely. After soaking in the hot springs, it was already past five in the afternoon.

The inn staff got to work and promptly brought out the meal.

"Let's have some drinks."

Michiyo said as she began pouring wine for Luo Zhen.

"Hm?"

By the country's current laws, minors were not allowed to drink.

Of course, that had been the old rule. Things had loosened up quite a bit now.

They were just having a family gathering, so being a little casual was fine.

"If we're going to bed early, a little alcohol will help us sleep. Haha, I'll have some too."

"The alcohol here tastes pretty good. It seems to be a local specialty, so we should probably buy some to take home."

"Drink up. Everyone drink. It's fine."

Michiyo said with a smile, filling cups for both Luo Zhen and Hitori.

Luo Zhen's alcohol tolerance was neither great nor terrible, but he definitely would not collapse after just a few drinks.

Hitori, on the other hand, began to grow drowsy.

Luo Zhen noticed that Michiyo had poured Hitori drinks and urged her to drink again and again, filling her cup to the brim every time.

Meanwhile, his own cup had only been filled about halfway.

By the time they had eaten and drunk their fill, it was already past six. Going to sleep now seemed a little too early.

So Michiyo pulled the two of them into continuing to drink, mainly by constantly pouring more alcohol into Hitori.

That said, she certainly would not take things too far.

Luo Zhen understood that the alcohol was merely part of the preparations for tonight's major event.

"I often hear quite a few strange stories at the company."

Futari was facing the television and watching anime when Michiyo suddenly started chatting.

"They say a rich family married a man into the household, and the mother was still young enough that she actually made a move on her son-in-law too."

Michiyo narrowed her eyes. What rich family was she talking about?

This was clearly their current situation.

"If something like that had happened in the past, it would have been unforgivable."

"Several decades ago, when there were still more men and everything was still so 'traditional.'"

"It would have been like the old man of the household sleeping with his daughter-in-law."

Michiyo went on, even bringing up history from the past.

Several decades ago—that had been the "normal world."

Come to think of it, since the world had turned into one of female supremacy, even certain historical events had become strange.

For instance, several medium-sized countries were currently still at war.

The soldiers sent to the battlefield were all women, and the fighting had gone on for a long time.

The major powers naturally would not interfere, but the flames of war continued to burn.

The good news was that mediation had recently begun. They were preparing to lay down their arms and negotiate a ceasefire.

"But the current world has become unbelievably strange. Many things have long since changed beyond recognition."

"Not to mention the Polygamy and Polyandry Law. That rich family just needs to follow the law."

Michiyo's words carried obvious meaning. This was practically a confession.

"Of course, I'm talking about someone else's family. Don't overthink it, you two."

When the time was right, Michiyo went to put Futari to bed.

"You two can spend some intimate time together. Just don't go too far—we need to get up early tomorrow."

After saying that, Michiyo pushed the two of them into Luo Zhen's room.

The entire world fell silent. Hitori had been plied with alcohol, leaving her dazed and muddled.

She was not drunk, exactly. She had simply become slow and sluggish.

She swallowed a few times, then hurried forward to undo Luo Zhen's clothes.

"The hot springs really worked well. I got my energy back so quickly."

"And drinking feels really nice too. My head's all fuzzy. It feels so good."

Hitori moved up and down against Luo Zhen, then let out a long breath.

At last, she was completely satisfied.

"The Polygamy and Polyandry Law... but what about a mother and daughter marrying the same husband? Do you think that would be acceptable?"

The two of them were both busy. Hitori moved rapidly while Luo Zhen helped massage her.

The two soft mounds of flesh changed into all kinds of shapes beneath Luo Zhen's hands.

"What does it matter? This is pretty nice too."

"Then our family can stay together forever."

"Hehe, we can add Futari when the time comes too. She likes you a lot as well."

Hitori said between breaths, already somewhat delirious.

Her eyes rolled back, and drool began to seep from the corner of her mouth.

After a bout of rapid trembling, she let out a string of strange cries.

Her toes curled, and then she collapsed limply.

"I can't anymore. You feel so amazing."

"Why don't you go find Mom? She wants it too, right?"

Hitori was drenched in sweat and simply closed her eyes to rest.

Just then, the door opened and shut again, and a figure slipped inside.

"Futari is asleep. Hitori, are you all right?"

"It may be fun, but you still need to restrain yourself. Don't overdo it."

Michiyo rubbed Hitori's head.

"Mom, why are you here?"

Hitori immediately perked up.

"Just settle down. Leave the rest to me."

Since everything had already been laid bare, there was no need to keep pretending.

"..."

Hitori looked at Michiyo with a strange gaze.

"Once you graduate, we'll go register the marriage. We'll arrange it under the Polygamy and Polyandry Law."

Michiyo said. She had planned this long ago.

Originally, she had intended to handle it personally, but things had ended up becoming like this.

This was fine too. At least there had not been too much chaos or arguing.

She Stepped into the Abyss and Took a Closer Look

"Stop talking, you big idiot. Don't put this kind of thing out in the open."

Everything needed a period of adjustment.

Hitori was so flustered that she started cursing. Though calling her a "big idiot" sounded more like she was acting coquettish.

Her embarrassing private preference had been dragged out into the open and discussed so blatantly—and the person doing it was her own mother.

In that instant, Hitori felt as though she were about to melt. She was completely overwhelmed.

"Eh, but you're already done, so it's normal for me to take over."

"All right, I was a little too hasty. I should have snuck in quietly, then you could pretend to be asleep and watch with your eyes half-open, right?"

"My mistake. I really don't know what to do with you."

Michiyo recalled the novels she had read and knew this was one of Hitori's particular interests.

Besides, suddenly bringing what had been hidden into the open really was not very appropriate.

"Since you think it's too stimulating, then retreat. Get out and stop disturbing us."

Michiyo issued Hitori an order to leave.

"No, I'm not leaving. I was here first."

The mother and daughter confronted each other like that, trading words back and forth.

Luo Zhen's enthusiasm gradually faded. He clasped his hands behind his head and simply watched them carry on.

In the end, Michiyo coldly took off her clothes and knelt beside Luo Zhen.

"Get yourself together first."

She reached out, gripped his shaft, and lightly swept her tongue over it, licking clean what remained.
