Lend Me Your Drone

Three minutes ago...

Dialogue from Mrs. Suzuran's bedroom could be heard through the window overhead.

But that didn't matter to Akimoto Yoichi anymore.

As long as he wasn't caught red-handed, it was fine even if he jumped out the window from a married woman's room.

Sneaking over the widow's wall at night—as long as no one knew.

Yes, Akimoto Yoichi at least hadn't been caught in the act by Suzuran Ayano and Fukayama Natsuki, but he'd been nabbed right on the spot by Nishida Yuki.

Watching the drone fly away overhead, Akimoto Yoichi felt a surge of irritation.

He'd almost been live-streamed.

And the one peeping on him was none other than that Nishida Yuki.

Nishida Yuki—what was she planning this time? No, better to say, what was she definitely going to do?

From her attitude yesterday, it was clear she had no intention of letting Akimoto Yoichi enjoy a relaxed weekend; her following him to Suzuran Ayano's house was only natural.

But her using a drone to stalk Akimoto Yoichi left him deeply dissatisfied.

You following me in person would've been whatever, but this kind of peeping surveillance made Akimoto Yoichi extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, his contact with Mrs. Suzuran earlier hadn't crossed that line.

To Nishida Yuki, who was secretly filming, Akimoto Yoichi had just carried a Mrs. Suzuran dressed in something of some interest into the room, that was all.

If Nishida Yuki wanted to threaten him, it would be pointless.

With that in mind, Akimoto Yoichi walked out from the Suzuran family backyard.

Just as he rounded to the front yard, sure enough, he spotted Kuroo Maya and Nishida Yuki at the main gate.

"Hmm? Akimoto-kun, why aren't you wearing shoes?" Kuroo Maya cradled a huge pile of what looked like expensive snacks, eyeing the somewhat disheveled Akimoto Yoichi with curiosity.

At the moment, Akimoto Yoichi's hair was still dripping wet, and his shirt was full of wrinkles.

Barefoot, dressed in adult-sized suit trousers and a shirt, he was indeed eye-catching.

Since her little head was stuffed full of food, Kuroo Maya didn't pay any mind to why Akimoto Yoichi had come from the backyard.

"I like going barefoot; this grass feels nice underfoot too." Akimoto Yoichi brushed it off casually.

Kuroo Maya had potato chip crumbs on her mouth and nodded with some interest.

"Oh, got it. I'll try that later too."

This twintailed glutton was no challenge.

"Hurry up and go inside; Ayano's been waiting ages for you. Plus, stuffing all these snacks now, you might not have room for dinner later."

Glancing at Nishida Yuki grinning smugly behind Kuroo Maya, Akimoto Yoichi shooed Kuroo Maya away.

No need to ask why Kuroo Maya had shown up with Nishida Yuki.

Just looking at those snacks in Kuroo Maya's hands made it obvious: Nishida Yuki probably wasn't invited but wanted in on the fun, so she deliberately "ran into" Kuroo Maya who was heading to the Suzuran house.

Bribing her with snacks and the excuse of being on the way—classic plot development to tag along to the Suzuran house.

After all, Nishida Yuki had already deployed a drone on Akimoto Yoichi; she knew the Suzuran house location long ago.

"No problem! Girls have two stomachs—one for snacks, one for proper meals! And these are all limited-edition snacks! Plus potato chip flavors you can only get overseas!"

This silly twintailed girl wouldn't even know if she was sold off.

"Yeah, yeah, eat eat eat, you can eat it all! Go on in and eat. Don't all those chips make your mouth dry? Head inside for some milk, juice, cola, whatever to wash it down. Go on."

Opening the door for Kuroo Maya, Akimoto Yoichi gently tugged her inside.

Pushed through the door, Kuroo Maya was a bit dazed, but she did want some cola.

Once Kuroo Maya was in, Akimoto Yoichi slammed the door shut immediately.

Just as he moved to follow, the silent Nishida Yuki nearly got her nose smashed by Akimoto Yoichi's door-closing motion.

Looking at Akimoto Yoichi looming over her nearby with hostile eyes, Nishida Yuki was utterly relaxed.

"That's no good, you know. Being so rough with girls like that won't make you popular with them, Akimoto-kun."

I don't need your concern. I have the Path of the Blond.

"Hand over the drone footage." No chit-chat, Akimoto Yoichi reached out.

"What drone? No idea what you're talking about." Nishida Yuki savored it.

Seeing the impatient look on Akimoto Yoichi's face made her thrilled.

Making Akimoto Yoichi fret and fume over her—that was exactly what Nishida Yuki wanted.

"Give me the footage, and I'll consider agreeing to whatever conditions you set." Akimoto Yoichi showed zero awareness of being blackmailed.

Letting go of the door handle he'd gripped tight, he instead yanked Nishida Yuki off to the side of the yard.

With her back against the wall, Akimoto Yoichi hit her with a high-pressure, dominant kabedon; though not especially tall, Nishida Yuki was completely overshadowed by his frame right now.

Although Akimoto Yoichi was incredibly imposing at this moment, Nishida Yuki felt even more excited.

She took a slight deep breath, and Nishida Yuki could smell the floral scent of body wash and shampoo emanating from Akimoto Yoichi, the kind only girls would use.

"Really? Then I want Akimoto-kun to answer my questions?" Nishida Yuki's interest was piqued.

Although she had managed to capture some footage of Akimoto Yoichi and Mrs. Suzuran today, to be honest, it wasn't enough.

Akimoto Yoichi hadn't actually done anything, and Nishida Yuki knew how to gauge the situation well.

The condition she proposed was simple: just answering questions.

"I will tell you, I'll tell you honestly, but don't try to bargain with me." Akimoto Yoichi looked down at the black-haired young lady before him.

In the past, he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Nishida Yuki, and he would simply ignore her questions.

Now, it seemed that Nishida Yuki cared quite a lot about this.

"Here, there are no backups or a second phone, because the content of that recording doesn't count as any real leverage." Unexpectedly, Nishida Yuki handed over her phone quite readily.

Akimoto Yoichi glanced at this scheming young lady; he even started to wonder if he had fallen into a trap.

Without thinking too much about it, he decided to deal with the recording first.

Taking the phone, Akimoto Yoichi saw a photo on the screen of himself wearing only pants after a shower.

How did this girl manage to take this photo?

Akimoto Yoichi looked up and met Nishida Yuki's triumphant and excited eyes; was this woman showing it to him on purpose, as a display of defiance?

"Delete one photo, and you have to answer one question, Akimoto-kun. Of course, I won't keep any backups or anything, how about it?"

At the perfect moment, Nishida Yuki offered a perfectly timed supplementary condition for their deal.

"I don't care. If you like looking at them, feel free, but just remember not to call my name when you're using these photos of me at night."

Akimoto Yoichi's simple sentence reversed the situation.

Did he need to be nervous? No. He wasn't small, so why would someone with such assets be ashamed to show them?

Usually, when Akimoto Yoichi went to the restroom, no one had the courage to stand on either side of him.

"I'm going to do it anyway!" Nishida Yuki gave a rebellious answer, her face flushing red.

Akimoto Yoichi ignored her indifferently and opened the folder.

He quickly found the video file of himself and Mrs. Suzuran, and looking at the content, it had been recorded from the moment they entered the bedroom.

It even had a thermal imaging mode, so it wouldn't be hindered by lighting conditions at all.

"This drone shoots well. Lend it to me to play with next time."

"And what price are you willing to pay for that, Akimoto-kun?"

"Forget it then."

Without any hesitation, Akimoto Yoichi deleted the video and then deleted some of the photos of himself and Mrs. Suzuran together.

There were also some unexpected bonuses.

There were a few photos that captured Mrs. Suzuran looking very beautiful; she was a beauty to begin with.

Coincidentally, there were also some private photos of Nishida Yuki herself, such as selfies in black stockings.

Sticking to the principle of not coming away empty-handed, Akimoto Yoichi forwarded these photos to his own phone before deleting them from Nishida Yuki's.

Nishida Yuki watched Akimoto Yoichi's actions the entire time; she hadn't expected him to not even hide it from her, doing it right in front of her face.

"Akimoto-kun, the photos you forwarded also count as one question!"

Casting a glance, Akimoto Yoichi looked at Nishida Yuki, who was showing a rare, shy expression like a normal girl.

His fingers didn't stop, and he continued to forward a few photos of a woman in a kimono with a shapely rear who looked very similar to Nishida Yuki to his own phone.

It was just a pity that these were all quite mundane, nothing like what he liked to look at at night.
