What, Failure to Transition!? Volume 3 Prologue (Patreon)

Prologue

Book 4 Cover (Contains Volume 3 of the Novel)

The Hoshikawa Group is a large corporate entity that is currently well known in Japan and overseas.


Hoshikawa Fumihiko, the current president of this large corporation based in the southern town, is the father of Hoshikawa Misato.


However, the two are not related by blood.


Misato’s biological father died in an accident when she was still young, so for a while, she lived with only her mother.


One day, her mother decided to remarry, and Hoshikawa Fumihiko was agreed to be her new partner.


Fumihiko and Misato’s parents had been friends since childhood.


They went to the same elementary, junior high, high school, and college, so they often spent time together.


After graduating from university, Fumihiko started working as a candidate for an executive position in the Hoshikawa Group, estranging his relationship with Misato’s parents to focus on his job.


Later, at about the same time as Misato’s parents got married, Fumihiko also took a wife through an arranged marriage.


But Fumihiko’s wife divorced him after giving birth to their first son, Fumiya, and left the house after some disputes.


Fumihiko and Misato’s mother later crossed fates again at a school reunion.


When they met, the fire they thought was already burned out was again rekindled, and it wasn’t later when they hit it off that it ended up in marriage.


At that time, Misato was in junior high school.


Hoshikawa Fumihiko’s son, Fumiya, was a brilliant man.


He was good-looking, intelligent, athletic, and popular with both men and women because of his friendly personality.


However, little did they know that he had a twisted personality inside.


When Misato had just started high school, she was violated by this younger stepbrother of hers who was only two years younger than her.


Since then, Misato has become a kind an outlet for desires for Fumiya.


Oddly enough, Misato expressed no aversion to having sex with her brother.


Maybe she was also getting pleased in me violating her? Is what her stepbrother thought, so his deplorable acts to her sister continued.


However, these were all one-sided thoughts that never consulted the other party. A delusion of a man who thought he knew it all.


What he didn’t know was Misato’s spirit was already broken from their first act.


After graduating from high school, Misato attended a nearby junior college under the direction of her stepbrother.


And as soon as Misato graduated from junior college, Fumiya decided to attend a university in the capital.


Naturally, it was a top university. After all, Fumiya is a genius.


Of course, Fumiya had planned to take Misato with him, but their father had decided to have her work for a local company in the Hoshikawa Group, so Misato had to stay in the southern town.


However, this did not mean that she was released from the grasp of her stepbrother.


Without their parents’ knowledge, Fumiya “convinced” Misato to live in a room prepared by him, where she was constantly monitored.


She was constrained by phone calls, e-mails, and webcams, and Fumiya came back to her in every chance he got to have sex with her.


When Fumiya went to college, he began to hang out with a bunch of misfits.


He became a member of a circle at a nearby private university, but the problem is, this circle was not at his own university.


It was a circle that would later become a problem due to scandals, but Fumiya was the one who started it functioning as a sex club.


One day, Fumiya came to visit Misato with a group of friends from the club.


As Misato was thinking to herself that she was about to be gang-banged, Fumiya suddenly had a temper tantrum and chased his friends away.


“I love you so much. I just realized that I love my sister with all my heart! I can’t stand the thought of any other man touching you. I want you to quit your job and live only for me!”


Misato just felt sick at the sight of his stepbrother crying while shaking his hips above her as he said this.


Soon after, Misato had to quit her job.


“I’m sorry we put you through so much.”


For some reason, her stepfather bowed to Misato with a heartfelt apology, and her mother also expressed some worries.


It was probably the result of some kind of manipulation by Fumiya, but it didn’t matter anymore to Misato.


From then on, she was put under house arrest.


It was not exactly a house arrest as she was not forbidden to go out, but since Fumiya starts to immediately throw tantrums if he finds out that she was not in her room upon checking up on her, Misato was opted to spend most of her time inside, killing time with a smartphone in her hand.


The turning point came after Fumiya graduated from college.


Fumiya was an excellent student, but he was even better as a working adult.


He had been involved in the management of several companies within the group since he was a student, and without exception, the companies he had been involved with had performed well.


So, it wasn’t later when Fumiya was decided to join the management of the group in earnest.


He became the director of several companies and became much busier than he had been when he was still a student.


But as a consequence, his opportunities to check in on Misato became a rarity instead.


When Fumiya’s interference decreased, and she had more free time, Misato suddenly recalled the scene of her stepbrother crying and shaking his hips while she was walking down the streets one time, and before she knew it, she was already knocking on the doors of a Health Service Provider(Prostitution Den) one night.[1]


“We don’t use rubber here, you know?”


“I don’t mind.”


“Also, sure, we don’t do the real thing, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t “accidentally” put it in….”


“It’s okay. I’m on birth control.”


As for contraception, she has always been using birth control pills regularly under Fumiya’s direction.


She didn’t care much about being violated, yes, but that doesn’t mean she wouldn’t care about getting pregnant either, especially with that man.


Thankfully, fait accompli is not an option for Fumiya, as it would break his still-not-stable image to the executives especially his father, the president, if he were to get his stepsister pregnant.


“I-is that so……Then you can always tell me when it gets hard, okay?”


After that, Misato started to take customers in her spare time.


She felt a twinge of pleasure every time she does the act of defiling herself, her stepbrother’s property, with the semen of a man whose name she did not know.


From time to time, she couldn’t help but smile unconsciously at her stepbrother, who would occasionally appear and shake his hips as he talked madly about his love for her, unknown that she has already betrayed him and was already swallowing the semen of unknown men.


Fumiya, who never doubted that he was loved by Misato, one-sidedly believed that this smile is because his stepsister’s love for him had deepened further, so it wasn’t even later when he finally began to think about their marriage.


Since they are not related by blood, it should not be impossible.


The biggest obstacle is still his own father, but he was thinking he can be persuaded if he showed strength in the group.


It was around this time when the Hoshikawa Group has decided to enter Latin America as a new business expansion destination.


Fumiya stood at the head of the group.


Fumiya was determined that if he could make a difference here, he would be able to get closer to overpowering his father and another step closer to marrying Misato.


“Sis, no, Misato. I promise I’ll be successful in my next project and come back to you. Of course, you will miss me for a while, but I hope you can bear with me.”


Misato just smiled hollowly.


〇●〇●


She felt a little sluggish that morning.


She didn’t feel feverish, so she guessed that she was just a little tired.


She went and waited at the store as usual, then got into a pick-up car because she had a nomination.


As for her destination, it was the business hotel she often uses.


The man who was the customer was an ordinary man you can find anywhere.


As usual, they showered, kissed, and started their play.


As time went by, she got more and more tired, but she didn’t want to neglect her work.


For some reason, she noticed that the customer was very attentive to her, as if he was aware she was feeling unwell.


After the session was over, her consciousness went into a daze.


She still vaguely remembered that the customer had taken care of her somehow, but it was already morning when she completely came to her senses.


It was also at that point that she started to feel……strange. She was feeling good. Her body felt lighter, and her consciousness became clearer. She felt so good and healthy that she couldn’t believe she had attained it just because she slept well.


If she were to put it in exaggerated terms, she felt as if she had just woken up after several years of sleep. It was almost as if her soul was put in a brand new body.


She looked next to her and saw a man asleep. It was the customer from yesterday.


When she stared at him again, she became puzzled, as he looked like any other man she has seen before.


The only other thing that was notable of him was the fact that this man only spent less than an hour in their session, even though he ordered a three-hour one, and he even extended it so that she could rest.


Feeling sorry for the customer, Misato decided to serve him orally for now.


(……eh?)


However, she felt something odd again.


That his was completely different from the ones she had taken in her mouth many times before.


It wasn’t that the object itself that was different, but the way Misato felt it was.


It was as if the walls that had been blocking her consciousness were gone, and as such, the heat and hardness of the meat stick were now being fully transmitted to her tongue and oral cavity.


After a while of playing with it, the covers Misato was in were suddenly lifted up.


“Good morning, sir.”


She bowed to the man as their eyes met.


Then…


“W-wait, Misato, what are you doing?”


At the man’s words, her heart thumped, which also made her snap back at the man.


Misato did not understand the meaning of that heartbeat.


“You told me to call you that yesterday, remember?”


But Misato did not remember it.


For now, she thought the thumping in her chest just now was from surprise, surprise that the other person had called her by her real name.


Yes, that must be it.


Anyway, she tried to continue to serve him, but he suddenly suggested a sixty-nine.


What would happen if he touched her in her current state?


As her heart beat faster, Misato overlapped the man and turned her hips to face him.


As if to distract herself, she began shoving his cock into her mouth while the man’s tongue touched Misato’s private parts.


“Mmmmmhhhh!!”


Misato almost fainted from the pleasant sensation that seemed to send electric shocks through her brain.


That on each of his assault on her, she felt an unidentifiable sensation rise up from her core, and she went rigid, her mind going blank.


“Nhaaaa, more……!”


Somehow, Misato managed to stay conscious. She stimulated his object with her mouth in return.


“Guh……cumming!”


The next thing she knew, she was drinking every drop of his semen that was spreading inside of her oral cavity.


“Thanks for the……treat.”


(Not enough……more…….)


However, she was far from content. So on the next, Misato opened her legs and invited the man inside her. She even spread her private parts with her own hands to further arouse the man.


It was the first time that Misato, who had always been passive, had ever asked a man in this manner.


She felt her face heat up with shame, but she could no longer stop herself.


“Mmmmhh……”


The man’s tip began to touch her wet front. But that alone was already enough to make her consciousness flicker.


“I’ll insert it now. May I?”


“Yes……this is a private affair, after all.”


And just like that, the man’s cock wormed its way towards her insides.


“Nhaaaaaaa!!”


Each millimeter of penetration increased her pleasure, and when he got to the end, her mind went blank again.


Every time he moved his hips after that, it felt so good that she almost fainted.


She already had sex hundreds of times with various men in her life, but she had never felt this good before.


”Aahaaaaahh, noo……nnn, hnnaaaaahhh! More, morreee!! I’m, I’m becoming weird……!!”


This time, her hips naturally moved on their own.


It’s not that she’s not aware of it, but her vagina is also tightening more than usual, which made her feel his cock more strongly.


“No! Aah! Something, something’s coming!!”


Another unidentified feeling of pleasure came again. Again, she was scared, but she also couldn’t help but anticipate more of it.


“Can’t……I’m cumming……”


“Please……do it inside, do it insiidee!”


Then, a hot feeling came in the pit of her stomach. Whenever the meatstick pulsed, her body also became hot to the core.


“Nhuuuuu!! Haaaaaa……so hot……”


For the first time in her life, Misato was overcome with pleasure and delight as she received the man’s semen……


“What……is this……feeling…….”


……without her even knowing it.


“Well, you came, right?”


“I……came?”


It was at that moment that Misato finally became aware that she had reached a climax during sex.


That for the first time in her sex life, she finally obtained euphoria.


“I see. Then that makes me the first man who was able to make Miss Misato cum. It’s an honor.”


And for some reason, the way the man spoke those words jokingly but with a slightly proud look on his face, somehow, she found it very endearing.


〇●〇●


“Are you leaving already?”


Misato waited outside the hotel to see him off.


“Yeah, I’d better get going.”


“Uhm……! Breakfast! Y-yeah, how about it……t-together?”


He said he was leaving, but she felt that she had to stall him for some reason.


“Uh, is this an afterser-”


“It’s not!”


Misato shouted so loudly that it even surprised her own self.


She didn’t know why, but she just couldn’t stand the fact that he thought her invitation to have breakfast was part of her job.


“Um…… I’m sorry. It’s……more of a personal one. Or do you not like it?”


“Oh, no, not at all. In fact, it’s my pleasure. No problem at all for me.”


For a moment, she was worried that he would not accept the invitation of a helpless woman like herself.


But in the end, he accepted, much to her relief.


They ate at a nearby coffee shop, from where she found out he was a big eater despite his appearance.


She had a little fun as she watched the dishes in front of him disappear.


Of course, she also felt a bit embarrassed at the people staring at them while they were eating.


But more than that, she was happy.


“You eat a lot, don’t you?”


“Yeah, I’ve been eating a lot lately.”


“It’s very cool.”


“Yes?”


“Ah, no, it’s……nothing.”


Her true feelings leaked out, and it seemed to have startled him.


(W-why did I just say that all of a sudden?)


Misato thought as she felt her face getting hot.


“I’ll definitely come again. And I’ll look forward to seeing you once I visit around these parts again.”


The man spoke to her after finishing their breakfast.


But when they were about to go their own ways, suddenly, Misato unconsciously grabbed the man’s sleeve.


“C-can I go with you?”


These words came out of her mouth unconsciously.


“Come again?”


“I can’t?”


“No, I mean, where?”


“Your home.”


“Home? You mean to where I live?”


“Well, I don’t really mind, but It’s very far from here, you know?”


“I don’t mind.”


“You don’t mind, you say……even if it takes about half a day at the bullet train?”


“No problem. I’ll go.”


From here was when Misato realized she didn’t want to leave his company.


“Also, didn’t you still have work?”


“Ah……!”


However, those words reminded her back of who she really was.


She has been a plaything of her younger stepbrother since she was a teenager, and now she’s a filthy person who gets paid to scavenge for men just to satisfy her insatiable desire. Who in the world would want to be with a woman like that?


“I’ll ……take a break…… b-but if you don’t want to, i-it’s fine. I’m sorry…… for forcing……you.”


Misato gave up and let go of the sleeve that she held onto.


“Eh?”


But for some reason, after she let go, she was grabbed on the same wrist when it was about to fall, where from there, she was then pulled into a hug.


“Let’s go. To my place.”


“……yes.”


I want to know his name. I want to know who he is.


“It’s Hoshikawa Misato.”


“Hmm?”


“That’s my name.”


“Oh, I see.”


Misato felt more strength in the arms that were hugging her.


“I’m Todou Yoichi. Nice to meet you, Misato.”


〇●〇●


It was like a dream. Or at least, that was what she felt.


She visited Yoichi’s house, searched for a new home, and picked out furniture and appliances with him.


It was as if they were lovers or a newly-married couple, and she wished that this time could last forever.


However, the happier she felt, the bigger the shadow deep inside her grew.


――which reminded her more and more about who she really was inside.


That no matter how much fun they had, it wouldn’t change anything.


The more the enjoyment she felt, the happier she was, the more painful it would be in her heart once it ended.


She even wondered……what would Yoichi think when he found out who she really was?


(Why don’t I just tell him everything?).


She had a feeling that Yoichi would accept her.


She didn’t have any reason to believe that, but she just felt that way for some reason.


Of course, it was possible that it was just her convenient misunderstanding.


(But then, what would happen after that?)


She saw again her stepbrother’s face.


If he succeeds in his overseas project, he will become the next president of the Hoshikawa Group, a nationally and now world-renowned group.


If he knew that he had been cuckolded by another man, he would be furious.


And if that brunt is directed at Yochi……


At that point, Misato stopped thinking about everything and just surrendered to the pleasure Yoichi was bringing her at the moment.


She savored the unique feeling thumping inside her and suppressed all thoughts telling her she didn’t want to leave.


“Is this……love?”


She doesn’t know what it is, but maybe it is love.


Even if her life continued to be like a doll, she would be content, having experienced this wonderful but searing feeling.


This is what Misato had thought at that moment.


〇●〇●


After leaving Yoichi without notice, Misato returned to the room her stepbrother had prepared for her and spent the next few days in there in a hollow state.


Then one day, the phone rang.


“Hello? Akari? How are you feeling?”


At first, she didn’t understand what the call meant, but then she remembered that Akari was her stage name as a sex worker.


“I’ve got a lot of appointments for you. Can you work now?”


“Yes. I’m fine now. Sorry about that time.”


“I see. Me too. I apologize for the early call.”


As usual, Misato got into the car for pick-up and headed for a hotel.


It was the hotel where she had first met Yoichi.


She climbed up the stairs that bypassed the reception desk and stood in front of the door where her guest should be.


But when she was about to reach for the doorknob, she felt her vision suddenly narrow.


“Haa, haaa……”


Suddenly she felt it hard to breathe, and she fell to her knees, holding her chest hard.


“Aa……guh……”


Her vision became darker and darker, and her consciousness became more and more distant.


But just before she lost consciousness, her breathing started to become a little easier.


“Haaa……haaa……”


It wasn’t long before she managed to breathe normally again.


“Phew……”


And this time, her consciousness was clearer than ever.


It was as if she had awakened from a horrible dream.


“……no more……”


Muttering this, Misato walked out of the hotel. After that, she went and tapped on the window of the pick-up car waiting in the parking lot.


“What happened? Don’t tell me they opt to change――” “I’m sorry.”


She interrupted the soft-spoken, middle-aged man and said those few words.


Then, she slammed the smartphone she was holding down on the spot, stepped through it as hard as she could, and burst into a run.


“……no more……no more…….”


Dazed, Misato found herself running away.


“……don’t wanna……I don’t wanna do this……I don’t wanna…….”


Because in front of the hotel, when she was about to grasp the doorknob, she remembered Yoichi’s face.


“……No, no more, I don’t wanna……!!”


What happened back there was a rejection, a complete rejection at the thought of being held by a man other than Yoichi.


“No more, no more, no more! I don’t want to do this anymore!”


That she doesn’t want anyone to touch her body anymore except this man, even if he’s a customer or her own stepbrother.


“No way, no more, I don’t wanna go back!!”


She had no memory of where she had walked or what she had ridden that time.


However, as if her consciousness had led her instead, when she came to her senses, she found herself standing in front of the apartment building she had searched for with the man in her heart.


Grand Court 2053.


When she entered the apartment, the concierge greeted her. Misato also bowed lightly at the familiar face.


Strangely, she fully remembered the place, even the password of the smart lock.


She quickly opened the entrance door and got on the elevator.


“No more, no more, no more, no more…….”


I don’t want to be touched by a man I don’t know anymore.


I don’t want to see my stepbrother’s face anymore.


Misato stood in front of Yoichi’s room and pressed the intercom.


“Yes?”


When it was answered, her heart thumped loud.


As if the voice she has heard is the one she was waiting for the most.


I can’t think of anything but him.


It’s his fault that I have learned what love is. That’s why ――


“――Please take responsibility.”


Translator Notes:

[1]. Fuuzoku(風俗). It means manners, customs, or public morals. But is more commonly referred to as the sex trade and establishments that provide sex services in Japan.


Prostitution is downright Illegal in Japan. Yes, it’s straight-up illegal, even though bathhouses and naked socializing are prevalent in their culture.


However, In Japan, it is only classified as prostitution if the service includes actual penetration [of the penis inside the vagina] with an unspecified person (meaning a stranger).


And this is where the fun starts.


Actual penetration in exchange for money is forbidden. But how about the ones which are not? Like non-coital plays like oral, anal, and other kinds of sex?


They are classified as Health Services and are considered legal. Not only is it permitted, but it’s even supported by the government. And I am not joking in the name. Well, actually, it’s just one of the several names.


As far as I have researched (Not that I have entered one, as foreigners are forbidden to enter them in the first place), there are actual legal establishments that cater these, and they are:


Soaplands, which are bathhouses, but where customers are soaped up and serviced by the staff and are usually catered towards men,


Delivery Health Services, which are escort services to which sex workers are dispatched to your place, usually for “spring cleaning” if it’s your own place. Also known as Business Trip Health/Shucchou Health(Misato is one of these types) or Deliheru [Their bastardized English term for Deli(very) Heru(health)]. Basically, they’re call girls,


Image Clubs, which are more like studios and are built with facilities that operate on a specific setting following common or popular sexual tropes, such as offices, a doctor’s surgery room, a classroom, a train carriage, and the like. In short, a facility for role-playing,


Fashion Health Services and Pink Salons, where they are establishments that “massage” clients or “provide esthetic treatment” but are commonly known for providing intercrural sex and other non-coital plays,


And some other facilities, but either way they are all generally called Fuuzokuten(風俗店) or manners, customs, or public morals shop, also known as sex establishments (it’s basically spelled Fuuzoku風俗 + ten店, with the “ten” meaning shop/establishment). This was also the description of the brothel where Rina was working in, if you still remember her (she’s the prostitute in the very first chapter of the first volume).


As for the “unspecified person part”, well, that can be easily circumnavigated by making the prostitute and the client introduce each other to become “acquainted”. This is a commonly used tactic in soaplands and Pink Salons to circumnavigate the “unspecified person” part. So, yeah, as long as you’re acquainted, penetration and even inside ejaculation are allowed. But, of course, it has to be under the consent of both parties first.
