Chapter 73: Chapter 33: The Choice

I spent quite some time enjoying the time with Anastasia, able to speak about my father and real mother. It seemed that my parents were like a kind family to her.

Making sure she ate when studying, giving her money when needed and then revealing the debt wasn't just for my father's issues, but for my mother Anastasia and Aki's education.

My eyes were a little hazy due to the alcohol we drank, but I was instantly stunned and sober when she spoke.

"Hey, Rai, do you know the money you sent tonight cleared our debts?"

"Eh~ how? Wasn't it nearly two million?"

She giggled at me before taking out two debt slips and tapping her phone to show the app that tracked the company's accounts and debts in real-time.

On the paper dated nine years ago, it was nearly two million...

Then, the crumpled paper beside it showed the weekly, daily and monthly payments made, sometimes as little as one hundred dollars a day...

Yet there were always two large monthly payments from six years ago... One was mine—the other must have been Anastasia's.

"Fufu~ you seem to be a little stunned. My beloved Rai with the huge cock! Look here~ look properly at your wonderful Anastasia's talents!"

Her voice was a little loud, so I was happy it was a private room; her body swayed, the scent of honey shampoo with melon and alcohol swinging into my senses with the swing of her wavy, light hair... Her long nails took mine and placed them upon her phone, tapping the button to show it wasn't a debt apt... it was a strange stock app.

"This... aren't stocks dangerous?" My voice was a little high, worried she might get more debt, before her lips pressed against my ear, causing a tingling feeling to go through my lower back.

Her finger pressed on a strange, different company name with a bit more writing beneath, "This was my first trade after taking out a loan nine years ago; I lost more than fifty thousand... This trade is when I gained..... That trade..."

Her warm breath in my ears caused my body to enter dizzy arousal, but her words froze my mind, "Forget it; this is a large one... On this day, this trade took all my money. After being lucky, I made more than ten thousand on another super risky one. I made this one to play the gambling card and doubled my money."

I knew why she said large... Her phone held this date six years ago and a ridiculous trade amount.

"Do you know why I chose this trade? Fufu~ It was so stupid." Her lips kissed my ear, the warm, sticky lips wrapping around the tip as she nibbled on me. "Haaa... the company was called Mirai and was the night you first used my tits to jerk yourself off, fufu, thinking no one knew."

My head was frozen, stunned, as her tongue stroked across the lobe. My throat dried instantly while her finger clicked and switched to the trades she did use this "Mirai Corp," it turned out to make her quite the sum... more than one million over five years with modest and safe trading.

"How... much?" I stuttered, almost unable to speak, and she pressed her palm against my crotch.

"You were probably a little too young and had no idea... but the cute and energetic Rai on the weekends and evenings where you would massage me, removing all my fatigue, you even make me cum, ah... Seeing your face after as she jerked yourself off over my bare chest or exposed crotch... looked beautiful... AHHH—!"

Her face was red with arousal, and the hand pressing my crotch withdrew my long shaft to reveal how hard I had become while thinking about how crazy a "large" trade was... but I was already feeling so much less than I wanted.

My large hands pressed to her shoulders, trying to push her away, as the shock of our debt was clear... Rather, thanks to my earnings, now Anastasia had a positive balance, and the debt was gone... But this only deepened the reality...

I earned less than five hundred thousand when my hard work paid for her education and made a livelihood to help support Anastasia, Aki... now it was nearly two million... clearing a debt for nearly twelve years...

"Rai?" She asked with a shaky voice, noticing my strangeness...

Yet why didn't those bastards say so years ago!? I did so many things when the debt was almost paid off... Everyone was lying to me? Why?

I let out an unsteady, awkward chuckle with the discomfort I felt, releasing her shoulder and wanting to flee, to take a taxi, a ride-share, maybe find a cheap hostel and cheap whore to get rid of this dark feeling in my heart...

"Why...?"

"I thought it was still hopeless; they said it was over two million, so I did those things..."

"To protect you and Aki!"

"I killed a man; they promised to wipe over five hundred thousand... So I killed a rapist... with my hands, in that dark basement that smelt of oil, rotting fish and sweat... using my fists in a dark boxing match... forever ruining my career... Yet you had already paid off the debt by then...

My bright future ended..."

"Because you didn't tell me?" My heart pounded so quickly that I thought I would have a heart attack.

My vision narrowed, and my large, powerful body shook.

"Rai...? You have to believe me, Rai—this wasn't something I hid." Her quivering voice shook my heart, a rage I had not felt in so long flowing.

I pressed her hands and voice back and was nearly about to lose consciousness from rage or alcohol, or both, when a light knock struck the door.

"Who is it?!" My low voice rumbled through the woodwork, wanting no more of people or the outside.

Anastasia stood and placed down our unfinished dishes, slipping to open the door.

"Sorry, your reservation time seems to have run over slightly— if you want to extend..." The waiter asked, looking at the half-eaten meal and bottles of alcohol before I pushed forward.

The explanation as to why she hid it from me despite knowing... "I wanted you to become broken... Then you would never leave me; Aki will leave when she can... but you. I knew you would always love me and never leave... So I made sure of it!"

"I won't let Rai shine unless he's beside me..."

Now her eyes held the same shine of insanity...

There was no true choice because she didn't want me to leave no... If she did, then why was her hand stroking my crotch?

Why were her wet hands pulling my trousers and briefs off my ankles?

"I am here... You can sleep with those girls, but you must never forget me..."

"Rai..."

"As long as you are mine, you must not forget me, or one day, I might break."

Her knees knelt on the mattress before gently pressing her nose to my cheek and whispering in a pained voice. "You're not allowed to break your promise."

"Nnn! Raai~ You can't change or turn your back."

"Make me the happiest woman... or I'll make sure you regret it."

That's right...

For our broken family, was there ever really a choice to become normal? Aki, Anastasia and me? From the moment the burden of those debts was placed on our shoulders, we lost all support and without family needing to find a living... What was left but us and only us?

I can see a distant future ahead... One where I help fix both Aki and Anastasia. But I still cannot control fate, so let's ride this madness, and finally, Anastasia can become mine...

What's wrong with a little Chaos anyway?

I noticed a strange glow in Anastasia's eyes the moment I thought this... but I was already pushing her down under me and lost all reason in the chaotic situation.

[??? POV]

"What's happening!?"

The entire dungeon seemed to shudder under a mighty presence as entire floors were wiped out. Luckily, they were only on the empty floors...

Yet the dead creatures were replaced by deadly... deranged beasts and nothing like the ones from before.

"Aegis, what is happening!"

[The Heir of Chaos has awakened and accepted his role.]

[Thus, Chaos will return to the dungeon and continue advancing.]

"W-What!? No... that cannot be... Eternita, Lupera and Asteria are there to stop him from feeling such feelings! To support their beloved brother!"

[I am but a machine... But wouldn't it be apt to call this phenomenon Fate?]

"Where is there a fate that watches your beloved man die!"

[Beloved man... You mean your brother? Goddess of Foresight Galatea?]

"Shut up, Aegis! Hurry, track down Shibuya Rai! I must stop what he's doing right now!"

[Forbidden]

"WHAT!? We added that system to his phone to track him! The dungeon should know his whereabouts!"

[Forbidden - Denied under the Authority of the Goddes Aphrodite.]

"Eh... but she is dead.... the only of our sisters to die! It cannot be her!"

[...]

"No... She is not supposed to have survived. Her love for our brother is too twisted, too crazed!!! I have to go down... to find him. Before she breaks him again!"

[By Breaking him, turn his love away from the other seven sisters?]

"Shut up, Aegis! I said it is broken, it's broken!"

[...]
