The systemâs notification sounded in Hikariâs mind.
Meanwhile, the mother and daughters of the Katsuragi family were also staring intently at the camera.
Just as the Katsuragi mother and daughters were deep in thought, footsteps were heard from the staircase.
A fat and lecherous figure was quickly descending from upstairs.
The heavy footsteps caused a slight tremor throughout the house, somewhat akin to an earthquake.
This bespectacled, obese otaku exuding a gloomy aura was none other than the home security guard, Kareki Tsunetaka.
Looking up and seeing the now obese Kareki Tsunetaka, the three women had different expressions. Katsuragi Shouko and Katsuragi Sayaka were relatively calm, with only a hint of suspicion in their eyes.
However, Katsuragi Yukiâs eyes were filled with intense disgust.
Because Katsuragi Shouko and Katsuragi Sayaka had no strong feelings about Kareki Tsunetaka, whom they had met before, they approached him with the mindset of welcoming a new family member.
It was only after the incident of finding a camera in the bathroom that they began to harbor some suspicion towards Kareki Tsunetaka, who lived there.
But Katsuragi Yuki was different. She had already been critical of her mother Katsuragi Shoukoâs remarriage, though she hadnât said much.
However, upon meeting her stepbrother Kareki Tsunetaka, her impression was extremely negative.
Kareki Tsunetaka was not only obese and ugly but also exuded a gloomy and lecherous aura, which greatly repulsed Katsuragi Yuki.
So, when Kareki Tsunetaka came downstairs, Katsuragi Shouko and Katsuragi Sayaka didnât say anything.
But Katsuragi Yuki couldnât help but directly question him, "Hey, Tsunetaka. Did you put this camera in the bathroom?"
Hearing Katsuragi Yukiâs hostile tone, Kareki Tsunetaka instantly felt a surge of anger.
He was furious. Although he had indeed placed the camera there with the intention of secretly filming the womenâs bodies, so what?
This was his home!
What if he did place it?
However, Kareki Tsunetaka didnât dare to voice these thoughts.
Because the house was bought by his father, and he didnât earn any money. Strictly speaking, the house belonged to his father, which is why he allowed Katsuragi Shouko and her daughters to live there.
If his father found out about this, he would surely cut off his allowance and possibly even kick him out of the house. He would also face social death, as secretly filming his stepmother and stepsisters was too perverted.
Having been a home security guard for over a decade with no work experience and no desire to work, Kareki Tsunetaka would likely starve if his father abandoned him.
So, for the sake of his future plans, as a home security guard, he couldnât alert the enemy now. He had to endure.
Suppressing his anger, Kareki Tsunetaka forced a smile and said, "I... why would I put a camera in the bathroom? Thatâs ridiculous."
Katsuragi Yuki immediately pressed, "If you didnât put it there, who did? Youâre the only one living here regularly, right?"
Kareki Tsunetakaâs face stiffened, but he still tried to explain, "It... it might have been left by the previous owner. This house is a second-hand property; someone lived here before."
"Why would I put a camera in my own bathroom for no reason?"
"Damn it, that guy has violated my privacy. Iâm going to report him."
With that, Kareki Tsunetaka took out his phone, pretending to make a report.
Katsuragi Yuki wanted to continue questioning, but Katsuragi Shouko stopped her.
"Yuki, Tsunetaka-kun has a point. He might also be a victim here. Letâs not press further.", Katsuragi Shouko said softly.
Katsuragi Shoukoâs kind nature made her believe that Kareki Tsunetaka wouldnât do such a perverted thing, so she temporarily accepted his explanation.
Katsuragi Sayaka also advised, "Yes, Tsunetaka-kun is now our uncle... well, our brother. He probably didnât place the camera."
Although Katsuragi Sayaka wasnât as naive and kind as Katsuragi Shouko and didnât fully believe Kareki Tsunetakaâs explanation, there was no other evidence besides the camera.
Moreover, since they were the ones coming to live in Kareki Tsunetakaâs house, it wasnât appropriate to be too aggressive.
Seeing her mother and sister both persuading her, Katsuragi Yuki had no choice but to suppress her anger and remain silent.
Observing the awkward expressions of the Katsuragi mother and daughters and Kareki Tsunetaka pretending to make a report, Hikari smiled and said, "In that case, I wonât disturb you further. Iâll head back now."
With that, Hikari turned and left Kareki Tsunetakaâs house.
"Ah! Hikari-kun, youâve helped us so much, and I havenât had the chance to thank you yet...", Katsuragi Shouko wanted to invite Hikari for tea or something to express her gratitude.
"Itâs fine, no need to trouble yourself. There will be plenty of time to thank me if we become neighbors.", Hikari casually replied.
.
.
.
After Hikari left the house.
Katsuragi Yuki glanced at the obese and greasy Kareki Tsunetaka and said with disgust, "We can still stay at the old place for a few more days. Letâs not move in here yet. Weâll come back when the renovations officially start."
Katsuragi Sayaka also expressed a similar sentiment.
Katsuragi Shouko nodded and said, "Alright, weâll come back in a few days."
"Weâre heading back now, Tsunetaka-kun."
After bidding farewell, Katsuragi Shouko and her two daughters left Kareki Tsunetakaâs house.
Watching the retreating figures of the mother and daughters, Kareki Tsunetakaâs greasy and lecherous face showed a hint of anger.
Although the Katsuragi mother and daughters left today, they only said they wouldnât move in for now.
They would eventually come.
For him, the home security guard, it was still a problem that needed to be solved.
Moreover, Hikariâs discovery of the camera today made him feel uneasy.
This would undoubtedly have a significant impact on his future plans.
It also seemed to have alerted the three women.
However, as a home security guard, Kareki Tsunetaka decided to plan carefully. He was patient and in no hurry.
These troublesome yet beautiful womenâhe would definitely subdue them.
âThat annoying old man dared to send these women to disturb me, so I will cuckold him.â
âShouko, this obviously lonely and promiscuous housewife, and her two slutty daughters, hmph!â
âAnd that meddlesome neighbor brat, who dared to ruin my plansâI will definitely teach him a lesson!â
Kareki Tsunetaka closed the door and went back upstairs. In the pitch-black room, only two green, wolf-like eyes were visible.
âââ
Meanwhile.
Hikari was about to open his own door and continue partying with the three gyaru.
By now, the three gyaru should have finished their baths.
After absorbing a significant amount of his essence, Ruri, Reina, and Yukina had all imprinted a part of the pure love mark.
Their physiques should have improved somewhat, so they could continue partying.
The night was long, and the three gyaru had bothered him many times before. Today, Hikari planned to teach them a lesson.
But before he could open the door.
Katsuragi Shouko, who had just left Kareki Tsunetakaâs house, quickly approached Hikari.
She first bowed to him and then said apologetically, "Hikari-kun, Iâm sorry. I didnât get a chance to thank you today before we had to leave."
"Youâve really helped us a lot today. I donât know how to thank you properly."
Hikari smiled and said, "Mrs. Shouko, you just gave me those delicious snacks. Have you forgotten already?"
Hearing this, Katsuragi Shouko also smiled happily, "Oh, those snacks are just cheap little things, barely a greeting gift. They canât be considered a proper thank you."
"When we officially move in, Iâll cook a big meal and invite you over to eat as a thank you, okay? My cooking is pretty good!"
Hikari smiled and agreed, "Sure."
Katsuragi Shouko then looked a bit troubled and said, "Um... Hikari-kun, thereâs something else Iâd like to ask for your help with. If itâs not convenient, itâs okay."
"Mrs. Shouko, go ahead."
Katsuragi Shouko lifted the suitcase in her hand and said, "Well... we came here planning to move in a few days, so we brought quite a lot of clothes and luggage."
"We originally planned to leave these at Tsunetaka-kunâs house."
"But after the camera incident, Yuki feels itâs unsafe. There are some... personal items in the luggage, so... could we trouble you to temporarily store the luggage at your place?"
"Itâs just one suitcase and a few bags, but itâs still a bother. If itâs not convenient, we can take them back."
By the end, Katsuragi Shouko was still a bit embarrassed.
After all, although it wasnât a big deal, they werenât related to Hikari, and he had already helped them a lot.
Hikari glanced at the not-so-large suitcase and smiled, "Itâs fine. These things wonât take up much space. I can help you store them."
"But if anything inside goes missing..."
Katsuragi Shouko interjected, "If anything is missing, weâll take responsibility."
Katsuragi Yuki also said, "Yes! We trust Hikari-kunâs character."
Seeing her sister Katsuragi Yuki staring intently at Hikari, Katsuragi Sayaka shook her head. It wasnât that she trusted Hikariâs character; she was just attracted to his looks.
But it wasnât surprising that Yuki was drawn to Hikari. Even Katsuragi Sayaka herself felt a growing fondness for him after seeing his handsome face and all the help he provided today. If it werenât for knowing he had some connection with Akane, she might have been a bit infatuated herself.
Seeing Katsuragi Shouko and the others like this, Hikari smiled and said, "Alright, Iâll keep these things for you. You can take them when you move in."
"By the way, those snacks earlier were your greeting gift to me. As future neighbors, I havenât given you a greeting gift yet."
"Today, you were about to move into a new home and encountered such an unpleasant incident. I have a few jade talismans I got from a temple before; they can ward off evil and bring good luck. Theyâre not valuable, but Iâll give them to you as a greeting gift."
With that, Hikari took out three milky-white Clear Jade amulets.
He handed them to the Katsuragi mother and daughters.
"Ah! This is too kind!", After instinctively receiving them, Katsuragi Shouko quickly shook her head.
But Hikari didnât take them back, just smiled and said, "Itâs fine, theyâre not valuable. Just small trinkets. Keep them."
Hearing this, Katsuragi Shouko had no choice but to accept them.
Looking at the warm, smooth jade talismans in their hands, Katsuragi Yuki and Katsuragi Sayakaâs eyes sparkled as they looked at Hikari.
After all, Hikari was kind and handsome. It would be strange if high school girls werenât attracted to him.
Katsuragi Shouko was also quite touched and wanted to thank Hikari properly.
But standing in front of Hikariâs house, she couldnât help but recall the scene of him opening the door fresh from a bath. The thought made her blush, so she didnât dare to look at Hikari directly.
Katsuragi Sayaka and Katsuragi Yuki, holding the Clear Jade amulets Hikari gave them, happily went downstairs.
After bowing gratefully to Hikari, Katsuragi Shouko also prepared to leave.
But before she left, Hikari reminded her, "Mrs. Shouko, there might be more to the camera incident. Be careful in the future."
"Anyway, Kareki Tsunetaka often gives off a strange vibe as a neighbor.", Hikari gave a slight hint to this beautiful yet naive and kind housewife.
"Alright! Thank you for the reminder, Hikari-kun.", Katsuragi Shouko nodded seriously, indicating she would remember, before turning to leave.
Hikari politely watched her go downstairs, then opened the door and entered his house.
Just then, the bathroom door opened.
A beautiful figure walked out.
With crimson red hair reaching her waist, a full chest, a slender waist, and long legs, it was Sasaki Yukina, the relatively mature and steady one among the three gyaru.
Seeing Hikari just coming in from outside, Sasaki Yukina asked curiously, "Oh, Hikari-kun, where did you go just now?"
"I went to help the neighbor fix a faucet.", Hikari said, admiring Sasaki Yukinaâs figure, who wasnât even wrapped in a towel, and smiled.
"I thought I heard a womanâs voice outside. Fixing a faucet? More like unclogging a drain, right~", Sasaki Yukina teased with a sidelong glance.
Facing Hikariâs gaze, she showed no shyness, even adjusting her posture to better display her figure.
