Negotiating a contract.

"If I agree to let you in on this- what exactly would that entail?" Kiyotaka asked, as she smiled in reply.

"For starters, I'd do my best to pick ideal partners for you. Every Ultimate's talents are useful to a degree, but some are far more useful to you than others. Instead of blindly going for any woman with a pulse, you could be assured of partners who bring something incredibly useful to the table- and who genuinely like you, or have things in common with you, so you don't have to worry about the notebook fully infringing on their consent. Most of the women at Hope's Peak do find you decently attractive, so this won't be too bothersome." Kirumi spoke, warm tone never changing. She'd thought this out.

"For example, all three of the women I recently used the sex note on are talented athletes with incredible records. Miss Asahina would be useful for lifeguarding duties, and her swimming record adds to your prestige. Miss Owari is a talented fighter and gymnast, making her perfect for protecting you from any life threatening danger, and Miss Chabashira is a master of Aikido. Placing Akane, Tenko, and Peko at your sides practically protects you from attack, and gives you three extremely talented enforcers."

"Life threatening danger?" Kiyotaka asked, blinking as Kirumi patted at his naked back and moved her hand to slightly adjust the towel at his waist, his own cock flopping out as she continued her explanation.

"You're not the only person with a Sex Note. Do you remember Rule 5?"

5.) If a person's name is written in two Sex Notes, the one that was written first will take precedence if the acts contradict each other in any way.

"Oh." Kiyotaka murmured as he looked at the open notebook in Kirumi's lap, while she nodded. "It's quite likely that others in the area have access to Sex Notes. I've noticed that it's impossible to lock the book to a single user, along with giving "generalized" commands from my few attempts at testing it prior, meaning that the artifacts desire to be used. So, what do you think those with Sex Notes are liable to do when they come across a competitor?"

"They look the other way?"

"They kill them, or use their notebook to ensure they're utterly compromised. Recently, the Prime Minister of Japan had unprotected sex with the General Secretary of the People's Republic of China on international television. As he was one of my former clients, I did my best to look into it, but found no evidence of normal foul play or ****."

"So you think it was a Sex Note user?"

"Correct." Kirumi nodded her head slightly. "I gained my suspicions when I discovered your notebook. Thankfully, you were not the culprit, meaning that I can happily serve you without any complaint."

"Thank god." Kiyotaka chuckled. "What would you have done if I had been the culprit?"

The hand that had been patting his naked back briefly traced at the back of his neck, and the hand that had been fiddling with his towel suddenly gripped at his leg, nails digging ever so slightly into it. Kirumi had stopped smiling.

"I do not think," she began, her tone suddenly devoid of warmth. "that you would ever do such a thing. I am grateful that is not the case." Her tone warmed, and her grip loosened. "Forgive me for the lapse. I hope to serve you well. While I am normally against providing sexual services as a maid, I may be open to it as a partner, given time."

Given time? As a partner?

"So what you're saying is, if I successfully have sex with enough Ultimates, you'd want to be my girlfriend." Kiyotaka murmured, thinking it over. "I'd have to see if Peko's open to me having two girlfriends, or- more than that, but I'm not entirely adverse to it."

"Kiyotaka, a relationship with me isn't transactional." Kirumi interjected, grimacing. "I'm sorry if I led you to believe that- what I'm saying is that I'd prefer the setting to be somewhere that isn't the bench of the men's locker room of Hope's Peak before any attempts at social or physical intimacy are engaged with."

"Oh. Sorry." Kiyotaka grimaced, as she went back to massaging at his back and his legs.

"I would like joint ownership of the Notebook, of course- but it's only for your benefit. With myself at your side, you have nothing to fear. If you'd like, we can write the details of this contract into the Sex Note proper, to prevent any misinterpretations." Kirumi asked, leaning against him. "Are we agreed upon?"

A moment passed.

"Yeah." Kiyotaka muttered as Kirumi began to write in the notebook. "Yeah, we're agreed on."
