"I am home, Yuni-san."
Mizuto quickly threw his thoughts into the gutter, knowing that this woman was off-limits. He shouldn't have thought of something strange toward her, especially since he had slept with Yume and this woman was also his father's wife.
Yet, to be able to think of such a possibility... Mizuto realized how horrible his heart was. It was entirely black and disgusting. Yet, in such a heart, many were attracted, which made him lament that it had always been a devil who seduced a human.
As for the angel?
They weren't objects for one to love but to worship. An existence that was far away, something that couldn't be touched or tarnished.
Nevertheless, when he thought of two famous supernatural beings, he wondered why they were similar in how the apex beings were treated by the others.
One was able to seduce others, and the other could only be worshipped.
Mizuto, who had reached the apex of the hierarchy, felt like his existence was like that now.
Still, as he thought of this, Yuni greeted him warmly, "Welcome back." Yet, after she greeted him warmly, she also quickly showed concern. "You are so late, Mizuto-kun. Is your work so busy?"
"It's not that busy, but except for this time, I don't have time to clear it."
"You are right." While Yuni wanted to say that Mizuto should focus on his studies, she couldn't do that as she knew that Mizuto was the first rank in his grade. Moreover, she also understood the importance of money, especially in this current situation. If Mizuto could have a lucrative and stable job at a young age, then he would have become a perfect son-in-law for her, but at the same time, she knew that such a man was rare, and there was no doubt he was popular, especially—
Yuni felt her face was hot, especially when she thought about how she saw his naked body at that time.
"By the way, congratulations on getting the first rank on the entire grade. I heard it from Yume."
Somehow, Yuni felt despicable thinking about her stepson this way and thought that she should sleep with Mineaki as soon as possible.
"Thank you, Yuni-san." Mizuto smiled, then asked, "By the way, where is Yume?"
"She is in the living room waiting for you." Yuni sighed and said, "She must love you so much that she decided to wait for you for so long." When she reminded Yume to rest in her room, Yume told her that she was going to wait for him. Moreover, while they didn't say anything, she knew that they should be dating.
Mizuto smiled and said, "I must be lucky then, but I will take a bath first. You should rest, Yuni-san. It's already late." While he tried to go home as soon as possible, when he had to take care of many women at the same time while doing his business, as expected, he could only go home after ten at night.
"Ah, um, Mizuto-kun..."
Yuni nodded in a daze as she looked at the back of her stepson. She shook her head and ran to her room, ready to hug her husband since she was afraid of the obscene thought to continue to appear in her mind.

Mizuto lay on the bathtub in the bathroom; he couldn't help but think about his conversation with Akatsuki and Reina, who talked about renting an apartment so their act could be cheaper.
When he thought about this, he couldn't help but think about this house, the house where he and his father had been living since he was a child.
Even though this house was a bit old, it was still in excellent condition, but he felt like it might not be bad to renovate it slightly. It didn't mean to give a complete makeover, but he wanted to add something more convenient, such as a soundproof wall in his and Yume's rooms. He also wanted to add solar panels so the electricity from their home would be cheaper.
Yes, he knew that he had the skills from the "Real Estate Developer" that could make the cost of maintaining a house as good as gone, but it was better to have a specific alibi to use this skill, and he thought it was also his preparation in the future as he was thinking to enter an energy industry.
Still, before the energy industry, his focus was logistics and all the necessary transportation from air, water, and land. As for why he chose this sector, it was because this business would reinforce the warehouse that he had acquired previously.
So, at this moment, he decided to acquire Nippon Express, one of Japan's three biggest logistics services companies. As for why he decided to acquire this company, it was because the other competitors of this company only focused on domestic. Meanwhile, only this company had reached its tentacles globally.
However, Mizuto knew that this wasn't enough. He wanted to become stronger and build even stronger logistical prowess so that, at that time, he could control many things in this world.
Because of that, he didn't end his acquisition with just Nippon Express. Instead, he also looked overseas, acquiring his first overseas companies from GXO Logistics, Americacold, XPO Inc, and Clipper Logistics.
There was no doubt that he had become a giant in logistics with those companies, but it was far from enough, as those companies only enhanced his warehouses and land transportation.
Yet, there is no doubt that those companies greatly helped his business kingdom.
GXO Logistics has many warehouses across 30 countries.
Americacold is the largest temperature-controlled warehousing and distribution services provider in the world, which greatly helps its food business, which needs this type of warehouse to keep the ingredients fresh.
XPO Inc. strengthens its land-based logistics, especially with the many trucks that this company owns.
Meanwhile, Clipper Logistics is a retail logistics company based in Leeds that serves retailers selling fashion, tobacco, alcohol, and other high-value goods in the UK and Europe.
If he wanted to become even stronger, he needed to get his hands on the shipping and airline industries, but as expected, he needed more money as his cash was limited.
However, this was far from enough!
It is said that the total market for the logistics industry was USD 7.98 trillion. Moreover, the market in the Asia Pacific region is the largest one globally, with 3.9 trillion U.S. dollars in size.
As long as Mizuto could monopolize 10% of the total market, he could become a frightening existence that could make people tremble. Moreover, who dared to cause him trouble then?
Mizuto sighed in contentment as he thought about his future as a "King of Logistics."
Yet, he was glad that he could think about his business as it could distract him from Yuni.
Even though Yuni tried to hide it well, when he saw her shyness and blushing on her beautiful face, he was in a daze. Like Nami, who dressed plainly, Yuni was in a similar fashion, but their charm was much different.
Yuni was smaller, even slightly shorter than Yume, but didn't that make her cuter?
Mizuto somehow wondered whether Yume would be like that in the future.
As he tried to throw away all the dirty thoughts in his mind, lamenting at how insatiable he was, the door of the bathroom was opened so suddenly.
"Mizuto, do you have the next volume of this light novel?" Yume asked as she held the "The Metronome in Love" in her hands excitedly.
Mizuto blinked his eyes and looked at Yume, who asked this question when he was in the bathroom. He felt helpless, but he tried to be as gentle as possible.
"Yume."
"Yes?"
"...I am still taking a bath."
"..."
"I am sorry, Onii-chan..."
Yume apologized sincerely, but at the same time, she didn't forget that she had been his little sister for a week.
"I am home, Yuni-san."
Mizuto quickly threw his thoughts into the gutter, knowing that this woman was off-limits. He shouldn't have thought of something strange toward her, especially since he had slept with Yume and this woman was also his father's wife.
