The Underworld, Starting with Debt

"bang"

……

Under the bright lights, in the cramped fitting room, Rena Kurashiki was selecting outfits from the clothes hanging on the hooks.

"Here, try these two on."

"it is good."

Taking the two pieces of clothing, Ito Koshito didn't waste any words. He grabbed the ill-fitting t-shirt by the collar, pulled it up, and took off the shirt, revealing his strong upper body.

Just as she was about to put on her shirt, Kurashiki Rena stopped her.

"and many more……"

"what happened?"

Ito Koshito looked at Kurashiki Reina with a puzzled expression, his raised arm remaining suspended in the air.

Kurashiki Rena snatched the shirt from Ito Koshito's hand, her long, delicate eyebrows slightly raised, her alluring eyes sparkling as she openly surveyed Ito Koshito's masculine muscle lines, as if she were admiring a work of art that belonged to her.

"...Let me help you get dressed!"

"No need... This fitting room is already small, if..."

"Shut up, I'm going to help!"

Kurashiki Rena glared at Ito Koichi, but not fiercely; instead, her eyes, clear and bright like autumn water, exuded even more charm.

She stepped forward, holding the shirt, her slender hand tracing across Ito Koshiji's lean waist before finally resting on his chest.

At this moment, the two were only about ten centimeters apart, and they could even hear each other's heartbeats and breathing.

"Gurgle, Rena, weren't you going to help me get dressed... Hurry up..."

"Hmph~ What's the rush?"

Feeling the other person's increasingly heavy breathing, Kurashiki Rena's originally clear mind couldn't help but feel a slight dizziness due to being enveloped by the scent of male hormones, and her face gradually turned a faint blush.

She patted Ito Koshichi's waist and abdomen, signaling him to squat down a bit. Once they were at the same height, Kurashiki Reina picked up the shirt in her hand and gently put it over Ito Koshichi's head.

“Stretch out your arm.”

Hearing this, Ito Koshino reluctantly complied. 'I feel like a child being manipulated...'

"Screw rustle..."

Smoothing the wrinkles in her clothes towards her waist, Kurashiki Reina looked at Ito Kozue with satisfaction and said smugly.

"Hmph~ My judgment is really good!"

"Sigh!" With a weary sigh, Ito Koshitoshi was about to straighten up.

"Huh? What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?"

Frowning, Kurashiki Reina glared at Ito Koshichi with displeasure, then reached out and ruffled Ito Koshichi's hair with her soft hand.

"Okay, okay, I know I was wrong."

"Hmph~" Seeing Ito Koshi's submissive attitude, Kurashiki Rena gave a smug snort, but did not withdraw her arm. She narrowed her eyes with ill intent, and the rubbing motion in her hand became gentle as she gently stroked Ito Koshi's hair.

"Yoshi yoshi... Good boy/girl~ Good puppy~"

"Rena, don't do this..."

"What, you don't want to hear it? Hehe, I'm going to say it anyway. Ah Zhi, that big idiot, is my little puppy."

"Snapped"

A large, hot hand suddenly gripped her wrist, restricting her movement. Kurashiki Reina scolded in dissatisfaction.

"What are you doing? Let go of my hand right now, you naughty little puppy!"

"If you don't let go, you'll kneel down and lick my feet!"

"Rena, that's going a bit too far."

Slowly removing the small hand that was stroking her head, Ito Koshiki straightened up and stared expressionlessly at Kurashiki Reina.

Under the bright lights, the tall man resembled a solitary peak; the gathered light barely outlined his deep contours, but could not reach the face hidden in the shadows.

The shadows on her face were bottomless black holes, seemingly able to absorb all the light around her, causing Kurashiki Reina's heart to suddenly tremble.

Realizing that she was frightened by Ito Koshitomo's sudden action, Kurashiki Rena's originally smiling and delicate face was immediately covered with anger.

"What are you doing! You idiot!! You bastard, Zhi, I'm going to say it, you're a little dog!"

Raising her delicate little hand and clenching it tightly, Kurashiki Reina angrily pounded towards Ito Koshiji's chest, only to be caught by Ito Koshiji mid-air.

"Are you trying to rebel? You bastard!"

Grabbing Kurashiki Rena's wrist, Ito Koshitoshi suddenly pushed her against the wall and raised her hands high.

Seeing Ito Koshito grab her hands and pin her against the wall, Kurashiki Rena was very angry, but this feeling of being restricted also made her feel a little strange.

"You're dead, you bastard Zhi! I..."

"Snapped!!!"

A crisp sound suddenly interrupted Kurashiki Rena's angry cursing, causing her to involuntarily cry out in pain.

"what……"

A burning pain in her buttocks made Rena Kurashiki realize, 'I...I've been hit!!!'

Kurashiki Rena stared blankly at Ito Koshino, then her inner rage erupted like a volcano, manifesting as a string of foul words escaping her lips.

“From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever dared to hit me! Not even my mom! Ah Zhi, you bastard! ***! You're dead…”

"Snapped"

"asshole***!"

"clap clap"

……

"..."

At first, Ito Koshi was indeed a little angry and used a lot of force to teach Kurashiki Reina a lesson. But gradually, Kurashiki Reina's delicate body in his arms was like an oversized fluffy doll, soft and comfortable, and her unique body fragrance mixed with the scent of a young girl and wafted into his nostrils, making him unconsciously lose his senses.

'Huh? Why is there no sound?'

Stopping what he was doing, Ito Koshito looked down at Kurashiki Reina with some confusion.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

'You bastard, you idiot, you dog, Zhi! You dare hit me? I'll never forgive you…'

'Damn big dog...'

'...'

Why did it stop...?

In a hazy, confused state, she could no longer feel the electric, tingling sensation. Kurashiki Rena struggled to lift her head, revealing her face through her long, velvety, waterfall-like golden hair.

With a curvaceous figure, her fair skin was flawless and as soft as milk. Her long, swan-like neck was slightly raised, revealing her delicate collarbone to Ito Koshino.

When she looked up and met Ito Koshito's gaze, her eyes, which held a clear, spring-like quality, trembled slightly, stirring ripples of emotion within her.

Ito Koshito's heart was in turmoil, and wicked thoughts surged forth like a tide.

"You bastard, Zhi!"

Kurashiki Rena's lake-blue eyes were filled with a watery light as she looked at Ito Kozue with a wronged expression, and she mumbled something indistinctly.

"It's all your fault, you've made me like this..."

The enchanting atmosphere in the cramped fitting room made the air feel warm.

"call--"

Ito Koshi took a few deep breaths, feeling a surge of heat within him. He lowered his head slightly, his forehead gently touching Kurashiki Reina's, their nostrils mingling. The warm breath he exhaled enveloped Kurashiki Reina's face, making her already weak body even more supple.

Pressing his face close to Kurashiki Reina's, Ito Koshito carefully observed the makeup that Kurashiki Reina had specially put on for today.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly from the frequent blinking of her beautiful eyes. Her pretty face, flushed with a rosy hue, was lightly made up, which neither concealed her naturally delicate skin nor diminished her charm.

"Rena...then...let me help you..."

His right fingertips slid down her fragrant hair to Kurashiki Reina's soft cheek. He could clearly feel the burning heat of the girl's cheek, and his nails seemed to inadvertently touch the edge of her warm, red lips.

Kurashiki Rena shuddered and couldn't help but let out a soft moan.

"嘤咛~"

"...I'm going to kiss you."

"Why bring up these things at a time like this..."

Staring at Kurashiki Rena's bright red lips, which were covered in lipstick, and having obtained the girl's consent, Ito Koshitoshi no longer hesitated.

He lowered his head slightly and gently kissed her.

"Chirp~"

He gently pressed his lips against Kurashiki Rena's luscious lips. The girl's lips were soft and sweet, and her breath carried a fragrance as refreshing as roses.

Ito Koshito slowly lowered his hand from Kurashiki Reina's.

'No, I can't let that idiot A-Zhi control me! I'm a woman, a queen! I have to fight back!'

She stood on tiptoe, her hands involuntarily supporting Ito Koshito's waist.

Rena Kurashiki attempts a counterattack!

Rena Kurashiki is gradually suffocating!

Rena Kurashiki's army was utterly routed!

Faced with the blonde bombshell's passionate enthusiasm, Ito Koshitoshi responded earnestly.

Ten seconds passed.

A minute passed.

Five minutes passed.
