Chapter 73 My Name Is Grinch (R-18)
He managed to buy his current house after selling his old apartment because he couldn\'t afford the bills and rent anymore. He found a cheap, albeit rundown, house, which was better than having nothing at all. Smiling at the familiar environment, Adam put on his Glasses of Truth. He saw two sources of light through the walls.
"It seems the kids aren\'t sleeping," Adam informed Shizuya, who frowned and rushed to the second floor.
Soon, cries were heard, and Adam shook his head, feeling like the boy who always reported everything to the teacher. Climbing the stairs, Adam spotted two little boys aged five to six years. They resembled Shizuya but were crying and hugging each other. Shizuya scolded them for not sleeping yet.
"I told you not to wait for me but to sleep, didn\'t I?" She looked annoyed, so Adam decided to intervene.
"Anyway, the kids were just worried about you, Shizuya. Isn\'t that wonderful?" Adam smiled and squatted before the two boys, who recoiled as if they had seen a ghost. "You know, I\'m not that scary. I even brought you gifts!"
Adam took out two huge lunchboxes from his inventory and handed them to the boys. After getting approval from their mother, they took the lunchboxes.
"T-thank you, sir."
"Y-yeah. Thank you very much!"
They sniffed the pleasant aroma and swallowed but looked at their mother before opening the lunchboxes. Only after she nodded did the children smile and start eating.
Adam stood up and smiled, watching them eat with gusto. He turned his head to Shizuya, noticing her downcast expression, and sighed.
"I know it\'s hard for you, but remember, they are just kids and rely on you in many ways." Adam found a chair and brought it closer to Shizuya. "Thank you."
"You welcome. So, about what I was saying? When I was a kid, my mom used to work late, and I wouldn\'t sleep, waiting for her. She scolded me too, but I kept waiting until she got used to it." Adam smiled, watching the children. "Though I never had kids, so I have no right to say anything, let alone explain. I apologize for that."
Shizuya fell silent and lowered her head. Adam didn\'t eavesdrop out of respect. He just observed the two boys enjoying their meal and smiled. Although he had a sense of déjà vu...
"But I don\'t remember anything," Adam thought about it, looking at Shizuya.
Two hours later... the children fell asleep right at the dining table. Adam skillfully picked them up and carried them to their makeshift beds—rocks, and hay, Shizuya called them "beds."
"We had to sell all our furniture to buy food... sacrifices had to be made to survive," Shizuya indifferently informed him and sighed.
Adam furrowed his brows, seeing the conditions. He covered the boys with a large king-sized bed. Seeing their sweet faces, he sighed heavily. Using his telekinesis, he summoned a proper bed for them. Shizuya looked at him in astonishment, questioning where he got it.
"Well, I have my ways," he said, shrugging.
They returned to the kitchen, and Adam restrained himself from wrinkling his nose at the foul smell. It was like entering a cafe filled with the smell of grease and garbage. He waved his hand, creating a small disturbance in the air, and the unpleasant odor disappeared. Shizuya looked at him with glittering eyes and grabbed his hands.
"Wow! Are you a mage?" Excited, she pressed against him, her bosom touching his arm.
"Yes. Is it that surprising?" Adam nodded, taking a seat.
"Of course! Mages can make a fortune just by using magic. In my tribe, they were respected, and their status was on par with the chief!"
Again, magical energy exists in everyone, but not everyone can use it properly. Although swordsmen also have magical energy, they are far inferior to mages in terms of magical abilities.
Though, it works both ways.
Shizuya chattered away while preparing tea. Adam listened attentively to her stories and complaints about bosses and colleagues, encouraging her to share more and more.
"Anyway, one of my colleagues offered to spend the night with him for money, can you believe it? And when I refused, he said I should be grateful that anyone pays attention to me. Can you imagine such nonsense?" Shizuya clenched her teeth while pouring tea for Adam. "I hate such arrogant jerks. May they die alone!"
Adam laughed at her words and thanked her for the tea. He found this woman amusing. They chatted happily until a loud crash was heard. Adam waved his hand and stood up.
"Let\'s continue our talk later..." Adam smiled gently at the man standing at the door. "I think there\'s an interesting story here."
***
Rarin, that was Shizuya\'s husband\'s name, had recently been spending time at the brothels of Sedyon. He had recently won a considerable amount of money and decided to enjoy himself.
"Darling, I\'ll miss you. Come back soon, alright?" One of the prostitutes flirtatiously asked, pressing herself against him.
Rarin blushed and promised he would be back. He left the brothel and headed home.
"I should get my things and break up with this woman. Because of her, I lost all my money, damn it."
Seeing his old house, Rarin grimaced with disgust and kicked the door open. However, he was shocked to find his wife embracing an unknown handsome man with long hair.
"Shizuya! You unfaithful bitch! Who\'s this jerk?!" Rarin\'s angry roar made the entire house tremble, but Adam raised an eyebrow, pleased with the soundproof barrier he had set up in the boys\' room. He narrowed his eyes and caught a whiff of cheap perfume.
"Bariser\'s brothel. A cheap brothel for tasteless men like him," Adam sneered and proceeded forward.
Rarin frowned at the man confidently approaching him. He felt uneasy, but his anger overpowered the mix of emotions, and he growled, "Who the fuck are you? What the hell are you doing with my wife?!"
"Good day." Adam smiled while holding Shizuya\'s hand. "My name is... well, let\'s say it\'s Grinch. Nice to meet you."
"Yeah, nice to meet you, huh!" Rarin grabbed Adam\'s clothes abruptly, raising his fist. "You\'re going down, you bastard!"
A swift strike followed by a scream, but Rarin found himself only halfway buried in the ground. Adam adjusted his attire, looking down at Rarin with contempt.
"Don\'t lay your filthy hands on me, scum."
His aura burst out, focused on Rarin, who rolled his eyes and trembled. Adam\'s Mastery of Casanova, Illusion. Though usually used for charm, Adam had found another application – torture.
He turned to Shizuya, witnessing her furious expression directed at Rarin. Adam sighed and approached her, embracing her.
"How about some revenge?" Adam softly smiled and whispered these words.
(A/N: The following scenes are netori. You can skip directly to the next chapter if you don\'t like this content.)
Shizuya flinched, her (human) ears turning red, and her tail twirled around Adam\'s arm as he held her waist. She writhed in his embrace, and Adam could feel her body temperature rise.
"Why not?" Shizuya smirked and suddenly kissed Adam on the lips.
Meanwhile, Rarin snapped out of the illusion and witnessed the next scene before him: His wife, Shizuya, passionately kissing another man, while he played with her buttocks and explored her body, revealing her bit by bit.
"No..." Rarin\'s heart pounded with pain and humiliation. He gritted his teeth, attempting to stand up, but he was firmly embedded in the floor of his own house, unable to escape. He was forced to watch his wife gradually undress while kissing another man.
"Shizuya! You slut! How could you betray me?!" Rarin screamed, feeling a burning rage.
To his surprise, his wife didn\'t pay him any attention, now completely naked, she lowered the pants of the unfamiliar man.
"Ouch... such a naughty boy." Shizuya smiled as Adam\'s member hit her forehead, and she licked her lips. "Needs to be taught some manners immediately."
Wide-eyed, Shizuya swallowed his member. The sounds of slurping echoed throughout the house, while Rarin could only helplessly observe. Though he wanted to turn away or close his eyes, something held him captive, unable to look away.
"Ha... the taste of a young and hard member is delightful." Shizuya stood up and smiled.
She wrapped her hands around Adam\'s member and brought it close to her genitals, rubbing against them. With soft moans, she pressed against Adam\'s chest, while he kneaded her buttocks and occasionally slapped them.
"Damn... you\'re teasing me so much," Shizuya smirked and jumped on Adam, holding his hips. "Now be a real man. Fuck me!"
