Once a mobster, now Masachika Kuze

Ryan cracked his neck, stretching his back with a smooth movement. A sly smile formed on his lips, while his eyes sparkled with a mix of curiosity and excitement.

"Okay... Let's see the 'gameplay' this body can provide me..." he murmured, as if talking to himself, testing the words in the air.

Before doubt could take over, he bent his knees and, with a powerful push, jumped onto the roof of a nearby house.

The wind cut his face, and for a brief moment, he felt the freedom of flying. The landing was smooth, almost as if the ground were receiving him with open arms. He fell into the classic hero pose, one knee on the ground, his hand outstretched forward.

A wide, childish smile plastered his face. "Damn... My knees didn't even hurt!" he laughed, surprised by his own resistance.

Without wasting time, Ryan started running. His feet tapped the roof with an accelerated rhythm, each step propelling him faster. His heart was beating fast, but not from exhaustion—it was pure adrenaline.

He aimed for the next house, calculating the distance with a quick glance. "Let's go..." he whispered, before taking a gravity-defying leap. The air whistled in his ears, and for an instant, he hovered in the night sky, as if time had stopped.

The landing was a bit harder, but he recovered quickly, looking back with an expression of satisfaction.

"It's still not that impressive, considering what I've already done... But it doesn't hurt to have some fun, right?" he said, adjusting the shirt that now swayed slightly with the night breeze. He continued his journey, jumping from roof to roof, until the Suou family's condominium was left behind. Ahead of him, tall buildings rose, their windows glowing like small beacons in the darkness. A mischievous smile appeared on his face.

"Right... I bet I can climb them easily..."

Ryan prepared himself, flexing his legs and feeling the energy accumulate in his muscles. With a powerful jump, he launched himself towards the nearest building. The first impulse took him halfway up the structure, but he didn't hesitate. Placing his feet on the wall, he channeled his energy into the soles of his shoes, as if he were sticking to the concrete.

Step by step, he scaled the building with an almost supernatural agility, as if gravity were just a suggestion.

Upon reaching the top, he propelled himself with a fluid movement, spinning on his heels before landing elegantly. The city stretched out before him, a sea of lights and shadows that seemed infinite. Ryan was silent for a moment, absorbing the view.

"Honestly... The view would be better with the girls with me," he said, with a playful tone, while fixing his hair disheveled by the wind. He approached the edge of the building, looking down, where the streets looked like small rivers of asphalt.

As he looked down, Ryan heard a familiar sound cutting through the silence of the night. A deep and unmistakable roar. His hair stood on end before his mind could even process reality.

He ran to the other side of the building, where he had a clear view of a long, almost curve-free avenue.

His eyes lit up as he identified the car that was tearing through the asphalt.

"Damn…! I knew I recognized that sound! It's a Skyline R34!"

Excitement took over him like that of a child seeing his favorite toy. Without hesitating, Ryan launched himself off the building.

"Screw it! I'm going to race a car! ON FOOT!"

He landed on the ground already sprinting at high speed, feeling the impact reverberate through his legs. The R34's engine roared, the turbine filling, and Ryan felt his own heart accelerate in the same rhythm.

As if accepting the silent challenge, the Skyline driver stepped on the accelerator, launching the car forward.

Ryan clenched his teeth, forcing his legs to the maximum. The wind whipped against his face as he aligned himself with the car. The sound of the engine echoed in his ears, a hymn of pure power and speed.

In his mind, he was in ecstasy.

"Damn! I'm betting a race against a car!"

His lungs burned, demanding more air, but he couldn't stop now.

Ryan closed his fists, channeling his energy into his legs. If he was going to do something so absurd, it had to be done right.

"I'll pass him before the next turn... that way I'll be close to home!"

With a final push, he felt his muscles burn as he slowly overtook the Skyline. When the curve approached, Ryan slid across the ground, bracing himself to avoid losing his balance.

The car went its way, while he stopped, catching his breath, his chest rising and falling heavily.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, laughing to himself. "There's something I never imagined doing… Racing a car. On foot."

Taking a deep breath, he looked up at the sky, letting the oxygen finally reach his brain. Slowly, his breathing stabilized as his smile faded a bit.

"Okay… No one will ever know about this, after all it's a ridiculous story."

With a satisfied smile, Ryan started walking home. He might not have a trophy and be crazy enough to run on foot against a car… But he knew he had won.

He silently raised his hand proudly to himself "Damn I could have recorded it…"

Ryan walked calmly through the streets of Tokyo, still trying to process the idiocy he had done minutes ago. Running against a Skyline R34?What kind of madness was that?

He let out a sigh and raised his eyes to the city-lit sky. The neon lights reflected in his gaze lost in thought.

"Okay… Racing a car was stupid… But at least it served to test my resistance."

As he walked, he looked at his own hand and murmured to himself:

"That Goddess in Hinamizawa… She was strong. Strong enough to make Arona-chan inactive just to help us…"

The memory of that day made his fists clench. The bitter taste of feeling inferior burned inside him.

"I don't like the idea of being weaker than my enemies… So I better develop myself to the fullest. There's too much stuff showing up, one after the other… At the moment, the most interesting ones are these so-called Jujutsu sorcerers."

A confident smile formed on his face.

"I need to be above any problem… and protect my girls."

When he realized it, he was already in front of his house. He went up the stairs, distracted, while trying to think of some excuse for Yuki, in case she asked where he had been.

As he touched the doorknob, he felt a slight shiver in his neck.

"Why do I have the feeling that she's up to something…?"

Slowly, he opened the door, already expecting some mischief… but what he found caught him off guard.

"Geh he he…"

Yuki was standing in the living room, laughing theatrically, like an authentic anime villain.

Ryan narrowed his eyes.

"Ara? A mere human dared to invade my castle to challenge me?"

Her voice sounded enchantingly provocative.

"Could this be the great hero who claims to be able to conquer the Demon Empress?"

Ryan raised an eyebrow, confused, until his gaze ran over her outfit… and he understood everything.

She wore black ballet flats, her exposed legs leading up to a short and tight dress, predominantly black, with white details. The neckline subtly outlined her breasts, while the skirt had layers that mixed black with a contrasting white border—a perfect balance between provocative and adorable.

A belt with a silver heart-shaped pendant marked her waist, adding a charming and full of personality touch.

The accessories completed the fantasy: a pink bow at the neck highlighted her delicacy, black bracelets on her wrists gave a rebellious air, and small membranous wings came out of her back. The long, thin tail ended in a heart, and the curved horns over her head reinforced the image of a naughty little devil.

Yuki crossed her arms, smiling superiorly.

"Ku ku ku… Come on, hero, the great sovereign invites you in!"

Ryan smiled slyly. If she wanted to play, then he would enter the game.

"Listen, Empress, Queen, or whatever your title is!" He pointed at her dramatically. "I am Ryan Gosting, the great hero coming from distant lands!"

Taking a step forward, he made an exaggerated gesture as if he were in a theatrical performance.

"I came from far away to perform a powerful summoning spell and subdue you in the most effective way possible!"

Yuki, sitting on the back of the sofa like a true sovereign, crossed her legs elegantly and rested her chin on her hand.

 "Araaa? What do you have in mind, hero?" She arched an eyebrow, feigning disinterest. "Know that I, Yuki, am veeery difficult to please!"

Ryan pulled his cell phone out of his pocket, holding it up like a sacred artifact.

"This is the ultimate magic tool!"

Yuki's tail swayed slowly, as if she were getting interested.

"Geh he he… And what exactly do you intend to do with this tool, hero?"

With a decisive movement, Ryan unlocked the screen and revealed a delivery app.

"I am absolutely certain that the Demon Empress would not resist some treats!" His voice overflowed with confidence, as if he were delivering a final blow.

Yuki's eyes widened for an instant… and then she opened a dangerous smile.

"Ku ku ku… Interesting."

Ryan knew he had won this battle.

Yuki raised her hand dramatically, as if she were on a stage, giving her all in the performance.

"Ara! What a cunning hero! He knows the arts of an unfair battle very well!"

She got up, a mischievous smile playing on her lips, while letting out a theatrical laugh.

"But… ku ku ku…"

The tone was so exaggerated that the scene seemed straight out of an anime.

"I highly doubt that the hero knows exactly what the great Empress wants to eat at this moment!"

Ryan ran his hand through his hair in a charming gesture, assuming the posture of a soap opera heartthrob.

"Pizza, snacks, and spicy food."

Yuki's eyes widened and, in an instant, she fell to her knees, completely defeated.

"HOW DO YOU KNOWWWWW?!" In her mind, lightning and thunder exploded as if she had just suffered a fatal blow.

Ryan winked at her, maintaining his confident pose.

"And with that, demon sovereign, I have defeated you! Now, you must submit to me!"

Yuki placed her hands on her own body, forcing a thin voice and adopting a provocative little smile.

"Kyaaa! What does the hero intend to do with the poor and defenseless Demon Empress?"

Ryan snapped his fingers, his gaze full of mystery.

"Train for 300 romance chapters so that, in the end, we hold hands and the story goes on indefinite hiatus, leaving all readers maddened."

He looked to the side as if winking at an invisible camera.

Yuki was silent for a few seconds, just staring at him… until she broke down laughing.

"Ryan! You broke the joke with that fourth wall! And that joke is mine!" She tried to compose herself, holding her belly from laughing so hard.

Ryan smiled and approached, holding out his hand to help her up. "Where the hell did you get that costume?"

Yuki winked mischievously and stuck out her tongue. "A Demon Empress always has her little secrets!"

Ryan arched an eyebrow, still smiling slyly. "I don't know… the Demon Empress seems to have planned this a long time ago…"

Yuki put her hand on her waist, raising her chin with an air of grandeur. "Ku ku ku! If you want to know more, you'll have to defeat me in a duel to the death!" She pointed to the TV, where the video game was already turned on in a fighting game.

Ryan let out a sarcastic laugh. "So that's it, huh? You really think you can defeat me?" Confidently, he walked to the sofa and sat down, crossing his arms. "Well then, if this is the battle you want, then—"

Before he could finish his sentence, Yuki made a forbidden move. Without hesitating, she sat directly on his lap, fitting herself precisely.

Ryan felt the air leave his lungs. "Ku ku ku… What's wrong, hero? Lost your strength?" She looked back over her shoulder, smiling maliciously.

Ryan fixed his eyes on the ceiling, feeling a drop of sweat trickle down his forehead.

"Damn… first Rika… now Yuki…!"

He was desperately trying to stay focused, but the situation was getting out of hand.

Unlike Rika, Yuki was sitting with her full weight resting on him, and, well… exactly where it shouldn't be.

Ryan swallowed hard. This battle… he wasn't at all sure he could win.

Before Ryan could regain his composure, Yuki let out a sarcastic taunt:

"Ah! Transfer your energy to me!"

Ryan raised an eyebrow, suspicious.

"Huh? Why?"

Yuki smirked mischievously, raising a little finger.

"So you can't cheat, you sly fox!"

Ryan narrowed his eyes, holding back a laugh as his eyebrow twitched.

"Are you saying I need to go back in time to beat you?"

"Yes."

She winked and stuck out her tongue, teasing. Ryan ruffled her hair with one hand, laughing.

"I'm gonna spank you, you little troublemaker!"

The game began, but to Ryan's misfortune, Yuki was absolutely crushing him.

"What's wrong, Oniiiiii-chan?"

Her voice dripped with malice, and to make things worse, she started swaying her hips slightly on his lap.

"Didn't you say you were gonna spank me? Ku ku ku…"

Sweat began to drip down Ryan's forehead. The match was best of three, and Yuki was already in the lead.

"Holy crap… She's gonna win both battles like this!"

He was fighting two challenges at once—the game and his own body.

"If that's how it is… I'll play dirty too!"

Without hesitation, Ryan slid his hands around Yuki's slim waist, pulling her slightly closer and positioning his controller right in front of her.

Yuki's eyes widened.

"Kya?! What are you—?"

Before she could react, Ryan raised his hands and squeezed her breasts without a hint of hesitation.

The controller slipped from Yuki's fingers.

"H-Heyyy!"

She squirmed, trying to break free, but Ryan held her firmly with his arms.

He took advantage of the distraction to win the round. Yuki kicked her legs in the air and flailed her arms, outraged.

"Onii-chan, that's not fair!"

Ryan tilted his head, a smug smile on his face.

"You're the one who started playing dirty."

Yuki clenched her fists, ready to protest, but suddenly, her eyes widened.

"Onii… are you… hard?"

Ryan's blood ran cold.

"Crap… I lost focus!"

He took a deep breath, keeping his tone casual.

"Well, you're the one who was grinding on me. I can't be blamed for… natural reactions."

Yuki turned around on his lap, wrapping her legs around Ryan's waist and locking them together.

"Hmm… you're right, it's my fault for provoking the beast."

She tried to maintain her playful demeanor, but the excitement in her voice was noticeable. Ryan held her slim, well-defined waist, his touch firm and provocative.

"So you won't blame me if I can't control myself anymore, right?"

Before she could respond, Ryan pulled her in and sealed her lips with a hungry kiss.

His hands slid down to Yuki's butt, squeezing it eagerly.

She let out a whiny moan, tightening her legs around him even more.

Yuki's hands slid down his back, as if massaging him, feeling every detail of his body under her fingers.

Ryan, in no rush, slid his hand up her waist, reaching her breast.

When his fingers wrapped around it and gently squeezed, Yuki arched her back and pulled away slightly, gasping.

"Y-you know… before this…"

Her face was flushed, her breathing heavy.

She closed her eyes for a moment, recomposing herself, before smiling mischievously.

"Before this, let's go to the bedroom. And I want to change clothes first."

Ryan tilted his head, a sly look in his eyes as he continued to massage her butt.

"Change clothes? But I think this outfit is perfect."

Yuki slid her fingers down Ryan's chest, standing up provocatively.

"Onii… you need to learn how to read a princess like me."

She winked and brought a little finger to her chin.

"For my first time… I want something more romantic, you know?"

Her face was completely red, her legs trembling slightly, but her signature smile was still there.

Ryan nodded, a fierce glint in his eyes.

"Then I'll wait for you in the bedroom, my princess."
