Lewd Dimensions

On the rooftop of Kuyogasaki High.

Hayasaka Ai felt lost once again.

On the first day of school, she was ambushed repeatedly.

Hearing the words of Kasumigaoka Utaha, Ai silently cursed Ren for his infuriating charm.

Meanwhile, Ren, after observing Ai, smiled and looked at Utaha.

"I wouldn't say we're dating at the moment, Utaha. Our relationship is... complicated," he said.

"Huh~? Are you two perhaps childhood friends, and you, Ren-kun, are trying to reconnect with Hayasaka-san now that you've met again?" Utaha exclaimed, her writer's imagination already spinning countless possibilities. She opened her notebook, placed it on her black-stocking-clad leg, and was about to start writing when Ai's next words stopped her.

"Ren-sama, please stop teasing me, and Kasumigaoka-san, please don't believe everything he says," Ai said, slightly pouting as she glanced between Ren on her left and Utaha on her right.

"Ren-sama? Wait, Ren-kun, did she just call you 'sama'?" Utaha asked, surprised.

"Haha, sorry, Utaha. The Hayasaka household has been employed by my family for nearly eleven years," Ren explained.

"Recently, my parents moved to Kyoto for a while, and Ai's mother was put in charge of overseeing some staff and offices here in Tokyo."

"Because of that, Ai, her daughter, is currently looking after me," Ren concluded with a nod to Utaha.

Following his explanation, Utaha's eyes widened in realization.

"So, wait, Ren-kun, are you some kind of big shot? Like the young heir of a super-rich family?"

"Something like that," he replied with a small smile.

"Does that make Hayasaka Ai-san your maid, then?" Utaha asked, now with the image of a young heir and his servant in her head.

"Well, I wouldn't say a maid, per se—more like a friend and an aide," Ren said, gently steering Utaha's wild imagination in the right direction.

Utaha pondered for a moment before asking cautiously, "Um, Ren-kun, Hayasaka-san, I lied to you earlier," she confessed timidly.

"My hobby is indeed related to romance, but I'm a new author and started publishing not long ago," she said in a shy voice.

"While I'm quite knowledgeable about romance," she continued, "my editor recently told me that my ratings are falling, and the higher-ups are cutting my printed copies." Utaha looked down at the ground as she shared her struggles.

"You're looking for new ideas and were thrilled to realize that the two of us are living material for your novel. Did I guess that right?" Ren asked, already sensing the problems she might be facing.

Utaha chuckled. "You know, Ren-kun, it's quite scary how sharp you are, young chaebol."

"Don't lump me in with that crowd, Utaha," Ren corrected. "While it's true I could be seen as one, I don't act like it. I live a simple life, really—well, aside from being involved in the family business."

Ai couldn't quite follow where this conversation was headed, so she sat quietly, counting the tiles on the rooftop floor.

"So, uhm~..." Utaha, usually so proud and confident, now sat and struggled to find the next words to ask for a favor, hesitated.

Ren, observing the dark-brown-haired, long-legged beauty's behavior, smirked.

Having watched her and even dreamed about her in his previous life, he knew exactly what to do and wasn't about to miss this opportunity.

"You want to ask us for a favor," he said.

The "famous" author glanced at Ren's face, blushed slightly, and turned her head away, nodding.

"Y-Yes, I'd like to spend some time with you two, maybe observe how you interact, get some ideas, gather material... that sort of thing," she mumbled under her breath.

Seeing her flustered demeanor, Ren shook his head lightly.

"It's no problem, Utaha. If you want, you can hang out with us after school tomorrow. Let's see what we can do."

Ai nodded as well. "It won't be much trouble for us, Kaumigaoka-san."

Hearing them both, Utaha, smiling, stood up and faced the pair. "Thank you, guys! I won't disappoint you!"

"Yosh~!" She raised her fist. "Then it's decided—tomorrow after school. I won't bother you any longer; I'll head back to class!" She gave a quick, slight bow, turned, and hurried off the rooftop.

As Utaha's figure disappeared, Ai glanced at Ren's now unmistakable smirk and asked, "Ren-sama, there's no way you're just letting her 'gather material,' are you?"

Raising his hand to pat his cute gyaru's head, Ren replied, "Ai-chan, what do you think—would Utaha make a good maid?"

Ai blushed, meeting his gaze. "R-Ren-sama, w-where's this coming from?"

"Hmm~?" He gave her a sly look.

Ai quickly corrected herself. "Uhm~, I mean, about Kasumigaoka-san being a maid."

Ren grinned. "I just think, if things keep going this way, it won't be long before Utaha's asking to wear a maid outfit. Well, less 'work' for you that way." Ren said.

Glancing at the silent Ai, Ren lowered his hand behind her back and gently hugged her sideways around her waist, pulling her closer. "Don't sulk, Ai-chan. You might even thank me in the future."

Ai froze, lowered her head, and muttered, "I understand, Ren-sama."

As they sat in silence for a while, Ai gradually calmed down and began to enjoy the warm embrace.

---

Sound of melody announcing the end of the last period.

Classes ended without a hitch.

As students stood up and gathered their belongings, some formed groups, chatting, while others quietly left the classroom. A few remained seated at their desks, seemingly lost in thought.

Hoshino Ren, with no particular reason to stay, exited the classroom and headed toward the school's exit with Ai.

After coming outside the school premises, they quickly spotted the same black Phantom they drove that morning, and they got inside together.

"Drive home, please," Ren said to the driver.

Nodding, Hoshino's family bodyguard, started the car and drove in the direction of Hoshino's estate.

Noticing the calm face of Ai, Ren extended his left arm in her direction.

Blonde gyaru, feeling something touching her spine, turned her head to look at him.

"Hmm~?" she tilted her head questioningly, not understanding his gesture.

Ren smiled, "Come here, Ai-chan." he slightly tilted his body, sliding his arm around her waist, and pulled her closer to him, hugging her the same way he did on the rooftop earlier.

Ai flustered, placed her palms on her knees, and sat there as a statue.

Amused, Ren brought up his right hand and scratched under her chin. He blew slightly into her right ear and said.

"Relax, Ai-chan, I'm not gonna eat you, yet."

Ticklish, blushing, and feeling a little something in her lower part of the body, not fully understanding the whole situation, Ai finally relaxed and leaned into Ren's body.

Getting the reaction he wanted, Ren started enjoying the warm feeling of her body, leaned back into the seat of the car.
