Perfect Sex Sequel - Chapter 17

Kureha-sama…

Kanae Tadokoro was staring at the marriage photo that she had brought into her room that President Yuuki had given her. Large tears welled up in Kanae’s eyes, and they fell down her cheeks, dropping onto her bathrobe. She had just gotten out of the in-room hot spring. Her skin flushed pink from the warm water.

There had been many marriage proposals before, but Kanae had turned them all down. In Kanae’s mind, only Kureha Kosuke resided.

The photo brought by uncle Yuuki’s showed Kureha Kosuke with a broad smile. He was holding his daughter, Sanae, who also had a huge grin on her face.

It seemed that this photo wasn’t taken for an arranged marriage but was instead part of a series of photos documenting Sanae’s growth over time.

Kureha-sama… Sanae-chan…

Kanae’s chest tightened as she stared at the photo, overwhelmed by her passionate feelings for Kureha Kosuke.

Every day, Kanae envisions Kureha Kosuke holding her in his arms, and every day, she feels a sense of emptiness and loneliness as she masturbates in vain.

How cruel, Uncle…

Tears flowed continuously from Kanae’s eyes. Seeing Kureha Kosuke’s photo had amplified her feelings to such an extent that it felt almost painful.

She longed to jump into Kureha Kosuke’s arms right now and be tightly embraced. She wanted to receive that sweet kiss that would melt her heart.

However, the one who lived in Kureha Kosuke’s heart was his wife, Saori.

Kanae remembered the funeral of Kureha Saori, the wife of Kureha Kosuke.

[Saori, Saori!… Don’t leave me, please come back!… Saori, Saori…!]

When the body of Kureha Saori was about to be placed into the cremation furnace, Kureha Kosuke clung to the coffin, crying out in agony. The staff members tried to persuade him, and eventually, Kosuke let go of his wife’s coffin. He collapsed to the floor, kneeling and crying.

Those who witnessed Kureha Kosuke’s grief were moved to tears themselves.

Kanae, holding Kureha Saori’s dear daughter, Sanae, after taking her from her mother, found herself crying as well.

The thought of how great Saori’s presence was in Kureha Kosuke’s life still causes Kanae’s chest to ache.

How regretful Kureha Saori must have been to leave behind her beloved husband and adorable daughter.

When Kureha Kosuke first came to this hotel, Kanae felt a chest-tightening pain, as if struck by an electric shock. The moment they met, Kanae was utterly captivated by Kureha Kosuke.

That evening.

While imagining being embraced by Kureha Kosuke in the employee bath, Kanae started masturbating. She had given her heart to Kureha Kosuke the moment they met, and the feeling of imagining being in his arms was new and intense. The pleasure she felt while masturbating imagining him holding her was something she had never experienced. She let out a delighted cry, unaware that Kureha Kosuke was in the men’s bath next door.

That night.

Did I end up being embraced by Kureha Kosuke’s? No, I don’t remember that. However, I do recall my mother telling me, “Why don’t you go have a drink with Kureha-san?”

After getting out of the bath, Kanae met Kureha Kosuke, who was trying to buy something from the vending machine.

From the men’s bath, I heard someone ask, “Are you okay?” I couldn’t help but wonder if he knew I was masturbating. It was so embarrassing that my face felt like it was on fire.

After that, I have no memory of what happened.

After Kureha Kosuke left, I felt like I had completely changed. The shy, reserved version of myself had transformed into someone who could smile while greeting guests and pouring drinks at the banquet.

I started to enjoy my role as the young proprietress, and I found myself happily greeting guests and offering handshakes with a smile.

I might have been embraced by Kureha Kosuke that night. If that’s the case, it would mean I gave my virginity to him. However, I have no memory of it. The only thing that remained was the sensation that something foreign was inside me for a while after he left the hotel.

At that time, I was a 27-year-old woman. Occasionally, due to my youth, I would masturbate to calm my body, which was burning with desire. I only used my fingers for that and had never used anything else. Even with just my fingers, I could feel Kureha Kosuke.

What was the feeling of unease I experienced within myself as a woman since that day? Could the overwhelming pleasure, to the point of moaning while masturbating in the bath, have changed my previously shy nature?

Eight months later.

Kureha Kosuke came to the hotel to install a new printer.

That night.

Kanae visited Kureha Kosuke’s room on her own volition and was embraced by him.

For the first time, Kanae exchanged a kiss with a man named Kureha Kosuke, and piece by piece, her kimono was removed by his hands, leaving her standing naked before him.

As their naked bodies intertwined and sweet kisses were shared over and over, Kanae’s heart, untouched by any man before, was burning with desire.

Kanae, who had never known a man and was completely naked, was lovingly caressed on her br3asts and n1pples with lips and tongue. When her legs were spread wide and a kiss was placed on her most sensitive and embarrassing place, Kanae felt as though she might faint from embarrassment.

Then, Kureha Kosuke’s Manhood entered into Kanae’s Womanhood. I still remember the sensation from that moment. They say that a woman can never forget the moment she first gave her virginity and the man who took it.

A strange, intoxicating pleasure overwhelmed Kanae one after another. She would lose consciousness, then come to, and then lose consciousness again. The overwhelming pleasure, combined with the joy of being held by her beloved Kureha Kosuke, made Kanae cling to him desperately, tears flowing down her cheeks.

Each time Kureha Kosuke’s hot Manhood slowly entered and withdrew from Kanae’s Womanhood, Kanae cried out in a voice filled with intense pleasure, her body trembling with joy.

If I could be with my beloved Kureha Kosuke for the rest of my life, I can’t imagine how happy I would be.

Kureha Kosuke, who was moving within her, held her body and kissed her over and over again. Kanae clung to him, her consciousness fading.

Then, proof of Kureha Kosuke’s climax shot out into Kanae with intense force. In that moment, Kanae screamed in overwhelming pleasure and fainted.

Kureha-sama…

I am nothing more than a woman for Kureha Kosuke during his visits to this hotel.

Kureha Kosuke has a wife, Saori, whom he dearly loves, and yet, knowing this, Kanae allowed herself to be with him. She could never tear apart Kureha Kosuke’s family, and she reminded herself of this constantly.

However, while apologizing in her heart to Saori, Kureha Kosuke’s wife, Kanae was deeply in love with Kureha Kosuke, to the point of burning with passion.

After offering her virginity to Kureha Kosuke and becoming a woman, Kanae would imagine being held by him every night while pleasuring herself. However, the emptiness that remained afterward was nothing more than a lonely, cold breeze in her heart.

The proposal for an arranged marriage with Kureha Kosuke was brought by uncle Yuuki. Her mother simply watched their conversation, her gaze fixed on Kanae.

I have my responsibilities as the young proprietress here. On top of that, ‘This man isn’t a first-time groom, and he has a child. But he hasn’t finalized the divorce… It seems like he’s still not over it,’ uncle Yuuki said.

There’s no way he could let go.

He could never let go. Kureha Kosuke loved his wife so much, he had cried while clinging to her coffin. Even now, his wife Saori is still alive within him. There’s no way I could just insert myself into that. If I did, I would be forcing a divorce between Kureha Kosuke and his wife, Saori. I could never do that.

Kanae silently closed the photograph that uncle Yuuki had brought, which showed Kureha Kosuke and his daughter Sanae. She then carefully placed it back into an envelope.

　　☆…　☆…　☆…

The next day.

Kanae entered the reception room. In the reception room were her mother and uncle Yuuki.

“Uncle, I will return this photograph…”

Kanae said this and then sat down on the sofa, placing the photograph in an envelope on the table.

“Kanae-chan, did you look at the photograph?”

President Yuuki asked her while drinking his tea. Her mother, Shizue, alternated her gaze between the photograph on the table and Kanae.

“If it were anyone else, it might be different, but for this man, I can’t do it. He has a wife whom he loves dearly…”

Kanae said, looking at President Yuuki.

“That’s precisely the reason, Kanae-chan. This man needs you.”

Yuuki said this while picking up the envelope from the table.

“For now, it’s fine. Right now, he has a reliable housekeeper, and he can focus on his work. But, to live happily with his daughter, Sanae-chan, this man… Kureha needs a lifelong partner, someone who will always love him. A partner who will support him. This is something I’ve thought about deeply. Kanae-chan, even you…”

“How cruel… This is so cruel, uncle…”

Kanae took a deep breath and stared at Yuuki.

“In his heart, I do not exist. No… There’s no place for me there. I shouldn’t exist there… Uuu, uuu, uuu…”

Kanae said this, covering her face with her hands, beginning to cry. Her sobs echoed continuously throughout the reception room.

“Kanae-chan… At this rate, soon, Kureha will become a hollow shell of a man, just alive but without meaning. He’s living like this now, putting on a brave front, but it’s only a matter of time before he breaks. As your uncle, I can tell. Soon, Kureha will crumble entirely…”

President Yuuki said to Kanae.

“Uncle… No. Shizue-chan, who knows Kureha well, can understand just how much Kureha loves you, Kanae-chan. She can feel it painfully.”

Yuuki exchanged glances with Shizue.

“And… as for Saori… that Saori is no longer in this world…”

Yuuki continued.

“Saori was your uncle’s outstanding chief secretary. I believe the company’s development owes much to Saori’s contributions. But that Saori is no longer here… We cannot return to the past…”

Yuuki said this as he placed the envelope with the photograph on the table.

“You wanted to see Kureha, didn’t you? Wasn’t that why you went to pay your respects to Saori’s spirit? You said you shouldn’t live in Kureha’s heart. Is that really what you believe, Kanae-chan? Do you hate Kureha?… No, that’s not it. Hayasaka-san, the housekeeper, didn’t say that. She said, with all her heart, that you care for Kureha, that you are deeply in love with him…”

Yuuki sighed deeply as he spoke. Shizue looked at Kanae with tears in her eyes.

“Kanae-chan, you prayed at Saori’s altar and cried, saying ‘I’m sorry, Saori.’ What did that ‘I’m sorry’ mean to you?”

Yuuki is staring at Kanae.

“………”

Kanae listened to Yuuki’s words while wiping away her tears with a handkerchief.

I don’t even understand why I said ‘I’m sorry.’ If I had to put it into words, maybe it was the guilt or sense of betrayal that weighed on me, knowing that I willingly gave myself to Kureha, even though he was married to Saori. Was it the guilt of betraying Saori that made me utter those words?

“Shizue-chan and I want you, Kanae-chan, to have a marriage that you will never regret. Of course, this applies to Kureha and Sanae-chan too… Even though I might not look it, I was the one who arranged Kureha and Saori’s marriage. A marriage mediator is like being a parent to them. And you’re the same. You’re Shizue-chan’s beloved daughter, and I consider myself like a father to you, Kanae-chan.”

Yuuki said this and let out a sigh.

“I’m sorry, Uncle… I’m really grateful that you care so much about me….”

Kanae stood up with eyes swollen and red from crying.

“Proprietress, I’m sorry. Please let me take the day off today…”

Kanae said this and bowed her head to Yuuki and Shizue.

“Haa…”

Yuuki Tomokazu let out a deep sigh after Kanae left the reception room.

“Tomokazu-san…”

Shizue held Tomokazu’s hand.

“That was well said. Kanae should have at least understood some of how we feel…”

Saying this, Shizue stood up and retrieved Yuuki Tomokazu’s favorite cold sake from the fridge.

“The fact that I poached Hayasaka-san for the Suzukaze Resort must have been a big shock to Kureha… I delivered the news to him without showing any expression… I really did something cruel, didn’t I…”

Shizue filled Yuuki’s glass with cold sake.

“Hmm…”

Yuuki nodded silently.

“But if things continue like this, not only Kureha but Kanae-chan might also break… According to Hayasaka-san, Kureha has been drinking alone a lot recently. He’s no longer in a condition to handle big deals like he used to…”

Yuuki sighed as he drank the cold sake that Shizue poured for him.

“Shizue-chan too…”

Yuuki also poured cold sake for Shizue.

“What should we do…?”

Shizue remembered Kanae, whose eyes were red from crying, rested her face on Yuuki’s shoulder.

“For now, we’ll have to just watch and wait. That idiot Kureha… He should at least think about Sanae-chan’s future. What does he plan to do with her while he breaks down? Does he intend to leave Sanae-chan with one of their parents while he keeps drinking himself into oblivion?”

Yuuki imagined Kureha’s figure, stumbling through the nightlife of the city every night.

“However, this is a trial for Kureha. He can’t go on living forever clinging to memories of Saori. In reality, Saori is gone. If he doesn’t come to terms with that once more, he will completely fall apart.”

Yuuki let out a sigh and took a sip of cold sake.

In the neon lights of the night, Kureha walked alone, drunk and stumbling. His expression was slack, resembling a pitiful man who had lost his soul.

When Ishiguro Electric stole the company secrets of Yuuki Scientific Industries, bringing the company to the verge of bankruptcy, Kureha took decisive action and uncovered the heart of the leak, preventing Yuuki Scientific Industries from going under.

The Kureha, stumbling aimlessly through the neon streets, no longer had the same vitality he had at that time.

　　☆…　☆…　☆…

Half a month had passed since Yuuki Tomokazu brought up idea of a marriage arrangement with Kureha.

Kanae still hadn’t responded to Yuuki Tomokazu’s marriage proposal. She was running around, busy with her duties as the young proprietress. However, her usual smile had disappeared from her face. Even when entertaining guests, her smile had turned into a forced one.

Kanae’s heart was in turmoil, and even her mother, Shizue, had noticed. Since Kureha had turned her into a woman, Kanae had been living her life consumed by thoughts of him, using those feelings as her emotional support. Perhaps because of this internal turmoil, Kanae had begun to lose weight.

Since then, President Yuuki had been informing her of Kureha’s situation through regular phone updates.

Kureha spends weekends at home with his daughter, Sanae, taking her for walks in the park, playing hide-and-seek, or taking her to the amusement park. However, on weeknights, he leaves the office at 5 PM and drinks in the city until around 10 or 11 PM. This is what Hayasaka Mizuki reportedly told President Yuuki.

Naturally, Hayasaka Mizuki waits at the apartment until Kousei returns home.

[Sir has completely lost his energy. He’s become so worn out… He hardly ever shows me a smile anymore.]

Hayasaka Mizuki said, with a worried expression, to President Yuuki.

[The other day, I was going to take Kureha’s suit, which he came home in drunk, to the cleaners… When I checked the suit pocket, I found a business card from a woman at an adult establishment in Ichikawa… I’m worried.]

Hayasaka Mizuki said to the president.

　　☆…　☆…　☆…

“Kanae, it’s already six o’clock. Wake up, the guests will be in the lounge soon.”

Shizue, the proprietress, said through the intercom in Kanae’s room.

Normally, Kanae would wake up at 4, take a shower, dress in her kimono, and come down to the lobby, but today, it was already 5:30, and she hadn’t appeared.

After calling several times through the intercom, the door lock was undone, and Kanae appeared at the door.

“Kanae… what happened to you…?”

Shizue’s eyes went wide as she saw Kanae’s expression.

Kanae stood there in her pajamas, tears welling up in her eyes, her face utterly exhausted.

“Mom…”

Kanae clung to Shizue, who had placed her hand on Kanae’s shoulder, as if she were about to collapse.

“Kanae! Kanae!”

Shizue supported the emaciated and exhausted Kanae, gently laying her down on the bed in the room.

“Mom… Mom…”

Kanae weakly opened her eyes and stared at Shizue. Tears overflowed from her eyes and trickled down her cheeks.
