My dear wife, I still love you more.

"To say I don't care would be a lie. After all, both men and women have the desire to possess something exclusively. However, I know very well that my own personality isn't up to par, so I can't have too many demands. And, most importantly, Mr. Hasegawa is just too handsome. I'm thirty years old! Thirty years old, so many years older than Hasegawa, I'm already an old cow eating young grass, why should I care if the young grass is green or not! I feel like I'm the one who's getting the better deal. Hehehe, after all, I'm not really interested in marriage anyway. I can't let Hasegawa be single forever like me, right? And, most importantly, I'm looking for a fuck buddy, a fuck buddy! Why care so much about feelings with a fuck buddy? Isn't it enough to just care if he's physically strong?" Machida Sonoko said, seemingly very open-mindedly.

"..." Chiyuki suddenly realized that what Machida Sonoko said seemed to make a lot of sense. While it was true that Machida Sonoko was quite beautiful, she was a workaholic and would never give up her career to start a family. Therefore, marriage wasn't a necessity for her. Most importantly, Machida Sonoko was already quite old, while Hasegawa was still a handsome, youthful guy—and, most importantly, Hasegawa was genuinely handsome! Finding a casual sex partner like this seemed like perfect for Machida Sonoko.

However, Sengoku Chiba was extremely unhappy, very, very unhappy.

She had originally coveted Hasegawa's good looks, but due to various concerns, she hadn't acted on them. Now, however, the meat she so desperately wanted had been stolen by other philandering cats. Despite having so many advantages, who would choose to live with Hasegawa like this? It was her! She had such great advantages, but even with all those advantages, in the end, Hasegawa, this piece of meat, was stolen by her two allies in the "alliance of single dogs." How could she describe her feelings at this moment in one word? Grief and indignation!

If Hiratsuka Shizuka and Machida Sonoko had found boyfriends or casual sex partners, and it had been someone else, Hiratsuka Shizuka would have been a little down at most, but she would have gotten over it eventually. But, by some strange twist of fate, they both ended up with Hasegawa.

"Hasegawa, that scumbag!" Chigoro Chiba couldn't help but curse, but she couldn't hide the sourness in her tone.

"You can't say that. Actually, it was my choice. And you absolutely mustn't tell anyone! Actually, I drugged Hasegawa. I don't know what I was thinking, but I made such a wise decision. Even though there was another woman at the time, I felt it was absolutely worth it." Machida Sonoko said in a low voice, her face beaming with excitement, as if trying to sound mysterious.

"What?" Sengoku Chiba's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Machida Sonoko's words revealed two facts.

One thing is that Hasegawa was actually a victim, having been drugged. The other is that his "good deal" was really something else—there were other women involved when he drugged her.

"Hehe, I was drinking back then, and alcohol emboldens you! I just did it on a whim. So, Chiyu, isn't this fuck buddy I found much better than Hiratsuka Shizuka's boyfriend?" Machida Sonoko boasted. Although Chiyu didn't reveal who Hiratsuka Shizuka's boyfriend was, it didn't stop her from comparing him to Hasegawa, the unknown person.

"I—" Chiyu almost blurted out, "Hiratsuka Shizuka, her boyfriend is that bastard Hasegawa!"

Machida Sonoko froze, then felt a pang of guilt. After all, she was just a casual sex partner, and it was she who had drugged Hasegawa, causing him to become like this. If Hiratsuka Shizuka was Hasegawa's official girlfriend, then Hiratsuka Shizuka seemed to have become the victim.

"Chiba, you, you're really joking with me, right?" Machida Sonoko asked with a forced laugh.

"I wanted to joke too. But, but, you bastard, I live under the same roof as Hasegawa, and I've fallen for him too, so why did I get left out in the end, while you two got the chicken!"

Chapter 125 Drunk Again?

"Chiyu-sensei, you're back. Why are you so late today? Um, how much did you drink?" Hasegawa looked at the drunken, unsteady-looking Chiyu, who seemed about to fall over after taking three steps.

"H-Hasegawa?" Sengoku Chiba's eyes were half-open from drunkenness as she looked at Hasegawa in a daze.

"Yes, it's me, Chiba-sensei. You're home." Hasegawa shook his head. As expected, he still didn't like alcohol. Whether he drank it himself or someone else did, it was always a hassle.

After all, many of Hasegawa's problems stem from alcohol, and while this situation might make many people envious, it also causes Hasegawa headaches.

"We're home? Hasegawa! It's Hasegawa!"

“That’s right. I’m Hasegawa. How much did you drink, Chiyu-sensei? Are you still sober?” Hasegawa shook his head helplessly. Seeing that Chiyu was about to fall, he quickly stepped forward to help her up.

"Hasegawa! You bastard! Bastard, bastard, bastard!" Sengoku Chiba grabbed Hasegawa by the collar and shouted loudly.

"What's wrong? How did I become such a jerk? Chiba-sensei, are you drunk?" Hasegawa said helplessly.

"Hasegawa, you bastard! You, you slept with Hiratsuka Shizuka, and not only that, you also became Sonoko's sex partner—"

"Huh?" Hasegawa was stunned. He slept with Hiratsuka Shizuka? Well, whether he slept with Hiratsuka Shizuka or Hiratsuka Shizuka slept with him, it didn't make much difference. But he became Sonoko's sex partner? He didn't remember becoming anyone's sex partner. Although he had many women around him, he had feelings for all of them. He didn't become sex partners with anyone. Sex partner relationships were not worth it for Hasegawa.

“The three of us, the three of us, why am I the only one left? Am I that bad? What do I lack compared to them? Look, look, I, I have a great figure too, right, right, right!” Chigoro Chiyu pulled open her collar, almost burying Hasegawa’s head in her chest.

"Chiba-sensei, what are you doing? Hey, hey, hey, wake up, be rational!" Hasegawa glanced at it. Hmm, it was indeed large and very white, and today Chiba-sensei was wearing leopard print—

"Rational? I'm perfectly rational, I'm very rational! You bastard, you bastard, you just look down on me, you just look down on me!"

"Chiba-sensei, how did I look down on you? You're drunk, stop making a scene, Chiba-sensei, let me help you back to your room to rest." Hasegawa looked at the completely drunk Chiba-sensei and felt particularly helpless. Getting drunk and acting crazy, her behavior when drunk is really not good.

"You just look down on me. Why? Why do you want both of them, but you don't want me?"

"Teacher Qianyu, do you know what you're saying—"

Before Hasegawa could finish speaking, Sengoku Chiba hugged him and kissed him.

Moreover, Sengoku Chiba looks quite crazy right now, with her tongue sticking into Hasegawa's mouth.

Hasegawa was stunned by Chiyuki's actions. By the time he realized what was happening, Chiyuki had already begun her assault. Hasegawa tried to push her away, but Chiyuki seemed to have used all her strength, clinging tightly to Hasegawa and refusing to let go. When Hasegawa finally managed to free his head, she planted a hickey on his neck.

Hasegawa tried to pry open Sengoku Chiba's hands and feet, but Sengoku Chiba's hands and feet were tightly wrapped around Hasegawa. At this moment, Hasegawa even tasted the experience of the senior brother of the Broken Water Flow. Of course, although both were strong men locking men, the nature of the two was different.

Suddenly, Hasegawa noticed a figure appearing beside him. Upon closer inspection, he recognized it as Shiina Mashiro.

At this moment, Shiina Mashiro was standing to the side, watching the two with curiosity in her eyes. Of course, most importantly, Shiina Mashiro was holding a sketchbook and a pen in her hand, drawing quickly while watching Hasegawa and Sengoku Chiba.

"Mashiro, hurry up and pull your cousin off me—" Hasegawa's mouth was accidentally blocked again.

Shiina Mashiro seemed deaf, making no move whatsoever. Instead, she focused even more intently on Hasegawa and Sengoku Chiba. At this moment, Hasegawa and Sengoku Chiba's clothes were in a very disheveled state, with several buttons missing from Hasegawa's clothes. Hasegawa's body was faintly visible in Shiina Mashiro's field of vision.

Shiina Mashiro felt inexplicably thirsty, but her rational mind told her that it was best to draw Hasegawa's current appearance right away.

Although Hasegawa was hesitant to use too much force for fear of hurting Chihiro because she was clinging to him so tightly, her current state was indeed stimulating him, and his body began to react unconsciously. Whether Chihiro sensed Hasegawa's reaction or not, her movements as she clung to him became even more intense.

Fortunately, Hasegawa had practiced kendo and knew some of the techniques for applying force, and he eventually managed to break free from Chigoku Chiba's strong lock.

After being freed by Hasegawa, Chihiro swayed and was about to fall to the ground. Seeing this, Hasegawa had to go forward again to support her. Fortunately, Chihiro did not continue to pester him.

Hasegawa scooped up Chiyu in a princess carry. Seeing that Chiyu had completely lost consciousness and feeling nothing, Hasegawa had a terrible headache. He carried her back to her bed in her room, slammed the door shut, and left.

About a minute after the door was closed, Chiyuki Sengoku, who seemed to be completely asleep, opened her eyes. Although her face still showed signs of intoxication, her eyes were quite clear. Clearly, although she had been drinking, perhaps quite a bit, she hadn't lost her senses. Perhaps this is what they mean by alcohol emboldening the timid.

Just as Chiyuki was about to make a sound, the door opened again, and she quickly closed her eyes. At the same time, she felt a little excited. Was Hasegawa going to do something to her? Why was she so expectant?

Hasegawa carried in a basin of water. Looking at Chigoro lying on the bed, and thinking about what Chigoro had just done, Hasegawa even had an impulse to pour the basin of water directly on Chigoro's head.

Shaking his head, Hasegawa took out a towel and wiped Chihiro Sengoku's face and hands, and even took off her shoes.

Having regained some of her composure, Chiyu Sengoku sensed Hasegawa's actions and her inner fire began to burn again. She even prepared to carry out her counterattack plan and tackle Hasegawa to the ground.

Hasegawa is such a warm-hearted guy, especially such a handsome one. It would be a shame not to sleep with him. And why can the other two women sleep with Hasegawa, but she can't?

Just as Chiyuki Sengoku was about to pounce on Hasegawa and drag him onto the bed, someone else walked in, forcing her to stop.

"Mashiro, what are you doing following me in here?" Hasegawa asked, rolling his eyes in annoyance.

"Tracking, observing, and drawing!" Shiina Mashiro said simply and clearly.

"I said, this isn't necessary. And what did you just draw? Let me see." Hasegawa looked at Shiina Mashiro like this and thought of what Shiina Mashiro had just done.

"no!"

"kindness?"

"Because if it's given to Hasegawa, Hasegawa might tear it up." Shiina Mashiro rarely analyzed the situation rationally, which made Hasegawa feel a little surprised and couldn't help but wonder if the Shiina Mashiro in front of him was real or fake.

"You—never mind, since you're not going to take it out, then don't let anyone else see it." Hasegawa shook his head, somewhat helplessly. He couldn't very well just snatch it.

"Okay, then I won't let anyone else see. So, can I watch you and my cousin do ( )?" Shiina Mashiro asked Hasegawa with utmost seriousness.

"Huh? What did you say?" Hasegawa almost doubted his ears.

"It seems you didn't finish what you were doing. The instructions I found online don't seem to be the same. So, can you continue what you were doing? That way, I can draw it completely!" Shiina Mashiro held her notebook, looking at Hasegawa with utmost seriousness, as if she was ready to start drawing at any moment.

Chiyuki Sengoku, who was pretending to be asleep, couldn't help but blush when she heard Mashiro Shiina's words. Fortunately, her cheeks were already red from drinking a lot of alcohol, so no one could tell.

"Can't you just focus on drawing and stop thinking about all that nonsense?" Hasegawa almost twisted Shiina Mashiro's ear.

Hasegawa gave Shiina Mashiro a good talking-to, though he wasn't sure if she would listen, since the naturally ditzy Shiina Mashiro could be exceptionally stubborn at times.

Because of Chigoku Chiba, Hasegawa's face and neck are covered in hickeys. Oh well, he'll have to take a shower.

While Hasegawa was taking a bath, Chiba Sengoku, who should have been asleep, opened her eyes again and quietly took out a small bottle of medicine from her pocket.

Having suffered two shocks today, Chigoro Chiba inexplicably went to the pharmacy and bought a bottle of sleeping pills. Looking at the bottle, Chigoro Chiba's heart pounded.

With a final grit of my teeth, I did it!

If he hadn't been drinking, Sengoku Chiyu might not have had the courage, but now—as the saying goes, "alcohol emboldens the bold," and I'm sure many people have heard of that.

Hasegawa came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, picked up a water glass, and gulped down the water.

……

In the middle of the night, Shiina Mashiro quietly got out of bed, went to the door, opened it, and through the crack, saw a figure sneak into Hasegawa's room. Without thinking, Shiina Mashiro grabbed her sketchbook and went out.

Chapter 126 The Tragic Hasegawa

"Tell me, what exactly happened? Why did you do this?"

Hasegawa looked at the two people lying on the bed and the drawings scattered all over the floor. Each drawing clearly depicted the alluring posture of Sengoku Senba.

The Chigoro Sengoku in the painting looked completely different from her usual self. If it weren't for the fact that it was the same face, Hasegawa would have mistaken the woman in the painting for someone else. Of course, Hasegawa also saw himself in the painting, lying on the bed like a salted fish, letting the woman in the painting do as she pleased.

Upon seeing this, Hasegawa felt a pang of shame. Something was wrong. Why did these kinds of things always happen to him? And most importantly, aside from Mrs. Yuigahama, whom Hasegawa initiated, all the other relationships were passive. Especially since, apart from Saeko Busujima, the other women either got Hasegawa drunk, drugged him, or gave him sleeping pills. What was wrong with this world? Just because he was handsome, did he have to suffer this kind of treatment? Being handsome wasn't his fault, so why should he bear the consequences?

"I...I don't know either. I don't know why Mashiro is here." Chiyuki Sengoku, who had her head buried in the blanket, answered in a muffled voice after hearing Hasegawa's words. Chiyuki Sengoku had absolutely not expected Shiina Mashiro to appear. She just wanted to keep up with everyone; her two companions had already eaten Hasegawa's chicken, so she wanted to try it too. But she didn't expect Shiina Mashiro to follow her in. This made Chiyuki Sengoku a little embarrassed and a little regretful. She regretted not locking the door from the inside after coming in last night.

"Then why did you come here? And why, why did you drug me?" Hasegawa asked through gritted teeth.

"Um, I... I was drunk, wasn't I?"

"Drunk? You're drunk my ass! If you were drunk, you wouldn't have done something like this. I, I—"

"I was really drunk, and I was provoked twice yesterday, so I did this impulsively."

"What does your distress have to do with me? You drugged me."

"Of course it's none of your business!" Sengoku Chiba suddenly threw off the covers and crawled out of bed, but the injuries below made her grimace. "Hiratsuka Shizuka, Machida Sonoko, tell me, did you have relations with them too? Do you know that the three of us are the golden leftover women's alliance in the matchmaking world? There are only three of us in the entire alliance. Now you've taken two of them away. What about me? I'm left all alone. Have you ever thought about how I feel?"

"Huh?" Hasegawa looked surprised.

"Do you know, the three of us planned to conquer the dating scene together, but just yesterday, Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly dropped out, saying she found a boyfriend, and that boyfriend is you. Do you know how I felt? I was so depressed. I finally got off work and went to drink with Machida Sonoko to cheer myself up, but then she told me she was leaving the alliance too. The reason? She's going to be friends with benefits with you! Now I'm all alone. Do you know how I felt? All three of us know you, but you and the other two are like this, and I'm the only one left, like I'm so worthless and nobody wants me. Do you know how depressed I was, like I wanted to die?" Chigoro Chiba got more and more excited as she spoke.

"Don't you know your own situation? If someone wanted you, you would have a boyfriend and be married by now! You smoke and drink all the time, and you're so sloppy. You take off your clothes after showering and just leave them lying around without washing them. You can't cook, and you don't even clean the house. What else can you do? No wonder no one in Japan would want a woman like you!" Hasegawa rolled his eyes. He wasn't going to take it all on.

"Um, well, this, hehe, actually, I'm quite pretty too, right?" After Hasegawa said that, Sengoku Chiba's momentum was immediately deflated, and she looked particularly guilty.

“There are plenty of beautiful women out there. Just because they’re pretty doesn’t mean I have to have them! Besides, weren’t those two cases caused by misunderstandings? Who would drug me like you did?” Hasegawa glared at her, speaking irritably.

"Well, you can't say that. Anyway, there are three of us, and you've already taken two. One more won't make a difference, and maybe you can even take on our Golden Leftover Women Alliance all by yourself. Aren't you excited? Besides, you're a man, so you're not the one who's at a disadvantage in this kind of situation. You already have so many women, what are you fussing about?" Chiyuki muttered.

"You—you're fucking shameless!" Hasegawa grabbed Sengoku Chiba and finally couldn't help but curse.

"These days, you don't suffer if you're shameless. If I cared about my reputation, I'd probably stay single my whole life and be a spinster forever." Sengoku Chiyu rolled her eyes.

"You—what about Mashiro? You shameless thing, you even dragged Mashiro into this?" Hasegawa pointed to another lump in the blanket.

At this moment, Shiina Mashiro was lying in bed, but she just lay there, looking at Hasegawa with curiosity, and occasionally glancing at Sengoku Chiba. She seemed to have no shyness at all.

“Mashiro, how was I supposed to know she’d come in? And I didn’t know either. When I was exhausted, she climbed up too. I tried to stop her, but I was too weak then.” Chiyuki glanced at Shiina Mashiro beside her, feeling a headache coming on. It was one thing for her to be shameless—after all, she was already this old and still couldn’t find a boyfriend; if she cared about her image, she’d be a spinster for life. Besides, she had thought things through before doing this. But Shiina Mashiro was something she hadn’t expected at all.

But thinking about it, given Shiina Mashiro's current personality, despite her cute appearance, it's uncertain whether she'll find a boyfriend. Even if she does, it's hard to say if she'll find someone with a good personality who's suitable for her. Hasegawa, on the other hand, seems like a good choice for Mashiro. In fact, if Hasegawa didn't have other women around him, he would be an absolutely perfect choice.

So, Shiina Mashiro's approach was actually quite correct?
