When Ray returned from Haruka's house, he surprisingly found that the apartment door was not locked.

He was afraid that something bad might be happening to Jean when he left, but when he remembered Vampy's cheat space ability, Ray was somehow able to calm himself.

' Even though there might be something happening inside, Jean should be safe.'

He opened the door and entered the apartment.

Ray was ready if there was an ambush, but he was surprised that he found the apartment condition was pretty much normal.

' Am I overthinking a bit? Was it just that Jean forgot to lock the apartment?'

Countless possibilities appeared on Ray's mind.

Nonetheless, he knew that he would not gain anything by overthinking.

He closed the door and walked in the direction of the living room when he suddenly found an unfamiliar woman there.

" Who are you!

"

When Ray saw this woman, his first reflex was to ask her who she was.

However, Ray was surprised when the woman immediately had a beautiful smile on her face and rushed in Ray's direction.

" My Son, I missed you so much!

"

" ....!??

"

The woman embraced Ray, and Ray was now petrified.

If this woman was to have any malicious intent, then his spirit beast should have told him before.

The fact that this woman could embrace him without any trouble means that she didn't have any bad intentions towards Ray.

" My son, why are you not answering me?

"

The woman lifted her face and directly gazed into Ray's eyes.

And only at this time Ray was able to observe this woman.

A beautiful mature face that Ray could even give 9.5 out of 10. Cherry lips that seemed to be very tasty to kiss...

The feature of this woman was exquisite, but it was actually nothing compared to this woman's body.

Ray could already have a rough estimation about this woman's size just from the embrace.

And from his estimation, it should be no lower than G-Cup.

It might not be able to reach Rion's K-Cup, but it could be anywhere between I or J-cup.

As Ray was held in an embrace by that woman, another beautiful woman suddenly came out from the bathroom.

" AHH~!!! What are you doing?

"

This time, it was no other than Jean.

Ray was relieved that Jean was okay. But when he saw Jean was getting along pretty well with the woman, Ray felt like he was missing something here.

" Umm... can anyone explain the situation to me?

"

. . . . .

*15 Minutes Later*

After listening to the woman's explanation, Ray really felt that the will of the world was playing with him.

Buffing Alan's was not a big problem, but why should the will of the world temper with himself?

Ray looked at the woman who was currently sitting across from him.

A beautiful mature woman about 30 years or older.

She saw Ray was gazing at her and immediately replied back with a smile which made Ray speechless.

Yup, this woman's true identity was Ray's stepmother.

This stepmother was not Ray's true stepmother, but instead Ray's future identity stepmother.

Aina also explained to him that when Ray and Jean were transported to the future, the will of the world was able to exploit some hole and create the existence of this woman.

Therefore, Ray and Jean were now stuck with this new stepmother of theirs.

" *Cough-Cough* Now that everything has been clear, I need to make an announcement.

"

Ray's stepmother suddenly coughed to break the ice and proceeded to look at Ray and Jean with a stern face.

" I don't ask much from you two, but I just want to tell you the wish of your late father. First, your father said that none of you were allowed to have any lover until you guys finished college, and second, your father wanted you two to call me as Mom.

"

Ray:

" ....

"

Jean:

" ....

"

Actually, the two didn't have any problem with the second part. But the first part would clearly make things harder for Ray.

Jean knew all about Ray's plan, so when their stepmother said things like this, she immediately glanced at Ray.

Ray himself was trying his best to hold himself from snapping. He was still on the edge, thinking about how to conquer Alan's two new Goddess sisters, and now this woman comes out of nowhere trying to make his life harder.

But all the anger in his heart immediately vanished when he heard Aina's voice.

Host, please be calm. This woman was also a capture target, and even though there was only a slim chance that she would end up with Alan, you could also use this to your advantage.

Ray could only sigh inwardly after hearing this. Being angry would do nothing good, and he would rather go and try to observe his new stepmother's information first.

Yura Hasegawa

Affinity: 90 ( My beloved son)

Not a Daoist yet

CP: 0-star

A capture target of the third game. One of the hardest capture targets to take as she was the stepmother of the protagonist's best friend. Secretary of the Goddess sister.

When ray saw the status, he couldn't help but think that he had hit the jackpot.

Just the 90 points of affinity alone were enough for him to be happy.

At least, this woman would not stab him in the back.

Nonetheless, the thing that make Ray elated was the background of his stepmother.

He was still pondering about how to get closer to Alan's goddess sister, but now the will of the world has given him an olive branch.

Actually, this setting might be for Alan to seduce the stepmother. But for Ray, this setting could also benefit him.

He just need to make sure that he could meet the Goddes Sister with the help of his stepmother, and Voila, everything would be done.

Ray now didn't look gloomy at all. Instead, his face was full of smiles toward his new stepmother.

" Well, if that's what father said, then I could only oblige.. Happy to meet you, Mom.
