"Let go of me."
But the unruly Miss Herrscher did not answer his question.
Her proud voice carried a chill, exuding an arrogant and domineering aura from the inside out.
Yet the only response she received was Otto's kiss.
"If you won't accept it, then I can switch back to Mei."
"Whether it's you or Mei, I won't refuse either of you."
"After all, I want both of you."
Otto kissed Miss Herrscher, and she could only accept it all. There was nothing else she could do.
She could not switch back. Miss Herrscher, who doted on Mei, would not let Mei endure this. That foolish girl had been completely wrapped around Otto's finger; intimate contact with him would be the last straw that crushed her.
So Miss Herrscher could only endure everything herself.
Mei would remain completely unaware of all this.
The tingling sweetness in his mouth intoxicated Otto, sweeping away all the previous unpleasantness. If every day could be like this, he would not mind eating any amount of dark cuisine.
"Miss Herrscher, would you join my Schicksal?"
During a pause to catch his breath, Otto asked, only to receive a single response.
"Get lost."
What a wild, fiery mare.
But that was exactly why she was worth taming.
"You really don't want to?"
"I'll treat Mei well. I won't make her do anything she doesn't want to do."
"I think she's very suited to staying by my side and making my lunch and dinner."
He placed both hands beside Miss Herrscher's head and cradled her cheeks. Unfortunately, this was an incomplete awakening, and she had not grown horns, leaving Otto without suitable handles to hold.
"Then... what about breakfast?"
Miss Herrscher was a little breathless. Otto released her lips and spoke beside her ear in a domineering voice.
"You and Mei are breakfast."
Still, you might have quite a few rivals in the workplace.

Otto smiled faintly as he prepared to kiss her again.
This was only the beginning. He would not grow tired of kissing her even after several hundred times, and until he did, Miss Herrscher would not let Mei's personality come out.
However, the terminal in his pocket suddenly rang.
Otto frowned slightly.
It was not merely because he had been interrupted. There were not many people who could contact him.
And when they did, it usually meant something unexpected had happened.
Chapter 49. I Think I'd Be Willing to Have Children
At the Amusement Park, Kiana held an ice cream. Having just gotten off the roller coaster, she was still able to eat with a perfectly normal expression.
Asakura Miyuki, meanwhile, sat pale-faced on a bench, looking as though she was about to throw up.
She looked exactly like someone suffering from motion sickness after eating too much.
"Are you okay?"
Kiana placed a bottle of ice water she had specifically bought beside Asakura Miyuki, who nodded.
"Thank you, Kiana."
Asakura Miyuki took the water, and Kiana sat down on the bench beside her.
"You might feel better if you throw up."
Seeing Asakura Miyuki like this, Kiana spoke, but Asakura Miyuki shook her head. She took a sip of water, then screwed the cap back on.
She looked at the white-haired girl sitting beside her. Her pristine hair was like moonlight, bringing a patch of brightness to the night.
This was her moonlight.
"Kiana, you're so kind."
Thinking back to when Kiana had helped wipe the stains off her desk in front of the Teaching Building, Asakura Miyuki had felt as though she had fallen in love then.
She had fallen for that white moonlight.
Kiana smiled. She did not have a bad impression of this friend, and Asakura Miyuki even treated her to food. Her appearance was also that of the poised young lady Kiana liked.
Even though she always called herself a young lady, compared to the genuine article, she really did not have the same feel.

"Oh, right, Kiana." Asakura Miyuki looked at Kiana, a trace of hope in her eyes, like a drowning person hoping for a straw to fall within reach. "Is there someone you like?"
Someone she liked?
Kiana froze. For some reason, upon hearing that question, a handsome face appeared in her mind.
Otto Apocalypse.
The man who had forcefully entered her life in Italy.
The man who had always treated her well.
However, Kiana looked at the ice cream that had begun to melt and shook her head.
"Is that so?" Asakura Miyuki smiled, her voice carrying a hint of delight. Kiana did not notice her tone and instead curiously looked at the small bag Asakura Miyuki had been carrying.
"What's in there?"
Kiana remembered that Asakura Miyuki had not brought this bag when they went out to have fun yesterday.
"It's a bento I made. I hope you'll like it."
"There's also a gift I want to give you inside."
After resting for a while, Asakura Miyuki's complexion had improved somewhat. She spoke with a smile.
"A gift?" Kiana asked curiously, touching her pocket. She had to return the favor, but she did not seem to have anything she could give someone.
That was a bit of a headache. She would see if there was anything in the Amusement Park she could buy later.
"Mm." Asakura Miyuki rested her hand on the small bag, her gaze gentle. Her long black hair was like the night sky, as though stars were glittering within it. "This is a gift meant only for you."
"Really? What is it? Is it something delicious!?"
Kiana's eyes lit up as she asked. Asakura Miyuki shook her head, stood up, and gave Kiana a playful smile.
"Until then, let it remain a secret."
The girls continued playing in the Amusement Park. Once the sun had risen high, they came to a shaded area, where Asakura Miyuki took out the bento she had made and handed it to Kiana.
Kiana tasted the bento, then cried out with shining eyes.
"This is way too delicious!?"
"It's just as good as food from a restaurant!?"
While Otto was being thoroughly tormented, Kiana was happily eating the bento made by her friend.
"I also prepared miso soup."
Seeing how happily Kiana was eating, Asakura Miyuki smiled. She poured the miso soup from a thermos into a cup, then handed it to Kiana.
"It's so good!?"
Kiana had never gone to school. When faced with delicious food, all she could do was describe it as awesome.
"Asakura, you'll definitely become a good wife someday!"
Kiana praised her without thinking. A considerate young lady who could cook like this would make even her heart flutter.
A good wife...
Asakura Miyuki's gaze dimmed slightly. She had once thought that way too. She would fall in love and get married, find a husband who loved her, then marry and have children, living an ordinary life while watching Sakura bloom and fall.
But even such a simple wish could not be granted. Her reality was absurd.
Her reality had been destroyed. No matter how she struggled, no matter how hysterical she became, she could not change the fact that she had been violated.
After transferring to Senba Academy, though she was clearly the victim, she was met with filthy insults. Her body had been ravaged, and in this new environment, her mind was ravaged as well.
She had nearly broken down.
Fortunately, she had met her white moonlight.
"Kiana, tonight... can we stay together?"
Asakura Miyuki spoke while Kiana ate her bento. Kiana thought about it, then shook her head.
"I have to go home on time, or he'll worry."
Kiana remembered Otto's instructions.
And she wanted to go back too.
Because she feared that if she did not return, Otto might abandon her like her father had.
She did not want to experience being left behind without a word again.
"Is that so..." Looking a little dejected, Asakura Miyuki tightly gripped her bag.
"You're not eating?" Kiana looked at Asakura Miyuki in confusion. Asakura Miyuki shook her head.
"I ate a little too much this morning."
She had eaten far too much.
Asakura Miyuki quietly waited for Kiana to finish eating. She thought Kiana looked very happy when she ate.
In the past, she too had worn such a happy expression.
So where exactly did my life go wrong?
After Kiana finished eating, Asakura Miyuki packed the bento box away again. Then she looked at Kiana, who had stood up and stretched.
"Kiana, can you come with me?"
Asakura Miyuki spoke, and Kiana did not think much of it. She followed Asakura Miyuki into an empty alley in the Amusement Park. It was secluded and quiet, and no one would pass through it.
With her hands in her pockets, Kiana curiously watched Asakura Miyuki take a small cloth pouch decorated with cherry blossom patterns from her bag.
"Originally, I wanted to give this to you tonight."
But Kiana had to leave that evening.
"Thank you for saving me last time. You saved me twice."
Once when she had nearly been struck by the collapsing Teaching Building, and once when she had nearly been violated again.
Asakura Miyuki held out the sachet in her hand to Kiana.
"This sachet is called Three-Year Cherry. The ancient book Konohanasakuya-hime's Miscellaneous Talks says that if a girl uses petals from the same cherry tree to make a sachet during the three years when she is fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen, then Konohanasakuya-hime, the goddess of Mount Fuji, will bless her love."
"I hope you'll accept it."
Kiana looked at the sachet in Asakura Miyuki's hand, a little conflicted over how she should return the gift.
However, just as Kiana was about to accept the sachet, Asakura Miyuki looked at the girl before her and spoke earnestly.
"I like you, Kiana."
This was a confession.
Kiana's eyes widened slightly. She had never expected someone to confess to her, much less another girl.
I thought you were my good friend, but you actually want to sleep with me!?
Black eyes met azure ones. Looking at the sachet in Asakura Miyuki's hand, Kiana's usually carefree gaze turned serious.
She bowed slightly toward Asakura Miyuki.
