The day after he vanished from the front entrance of the D-East Police Station, he returned to 'RARE' as if nothing had happened, going back to his usual “silent,” “expressionless,” “unmoving” self. He still doesn’t engage with customers in the lounge and is pretty much a fixture, but since it’s widely known that he was instrumental in rescuing Zero, no one complains. Since Zero, the owner, knows Crow’s true identity and keeps him around, Kazusa has no intention of saying anything either. He doesn't know how long Crow will stay at ‘RARE’, but he’ll keep a quiet watch over him until then.
While waiting for Zero in the entrance hall, Kazusa’s thoughts wandered to those two who weren’t present. Then the person he’d been waiting for appeared from the office in the back. A golden aura surrounded him, his black long coat swirling behind him as he approached confidently.
(Just walking over like that and looking so cool? Impressive.)
As Kazusa watched in awe, Zero quickly closed the distance, gliding smoothly through the holographic animals around him. When he stood right beside Kazusa and their eyes met, he gave a small smile on one side of his face, making Kazusa’s heart skip a beat.
Just hours earlier—the vivid memory of their passionate embrace almost came flooding back to Kazusa’s mind, but he cleared his throat.
“Good morning, Owner. Everyone’s here and ready.”
Nodding, Zero turned to address the cast and staff.
All conversations about fashion, celebrities, viral videos, and recommended manga came to an abrupt halt.
“Good morning.”
“Good morning,” they responded in unison, the twenty people on shift tonight greeting their boss.
“There are a total of eight guests for the first part—three of whom will be in the VIP room. There will be six guests in the second part, making fourteen in total. Anything to add, Manager?”
Kazusa, standing beside Zero, pushed up his glasses with his middle finger.
“As for the guests in the VIP room, they’ll be arriving with the wife and daughter. Since it’s the daughter’s 20th birthday, they’ve ordered a surprise birthday cake. At the right moment, the floor staff will bring the cake to the room, and we’ll have any available cast or staff join to sing a birthday song together to liven things up. Thank you in advance.”
“Got it.”
“Understood.”
After receiving the cast’s acknowledgment, Kazusa said, “That’s all from me,” and Zero ended the meeting with his usual closing words.
“Tonight, let’s give our guests a taste of something out of the ordinary with courteous and sincere service. That’s all. Dismissed.”
With that, the cast and staff dispersed. Kazusa also went around making final checks before the opening, and soon it was five minutes to six.
He moved to the elevator area to wait for the guests’ arrival. Then, unexpectedly, Zero appeared beside him.
(Did we have such an important VIP in the first group that the owner would personally greet them?)
As Kazusa hurried to review his memory, Zero, still facing forward, muttered under his breath.
“After tonight’s work, we’ll pick up where we left off this afternoon.”
“………”
Right now, Kazusa is in the midst of his third mating cycle in life, spending day and night in physical union with his lover. With each fuck, he discovers new sides of himself and feels his body changing, while surprisingly, each time manages to surpass the last as the ‘best sex’. As a result, no matter how often they fuck, it never feels like enough.
From last night through to morning, they were connected without pause, and still unsatisfied, they even fuck twice more during the day. He still feels a lingering sense of Zero inside him… but when he hears those words, it makes something deep within him ache irresistibly again…
(… Wait, did he come all this way just to say that?)
“Alright?”
Zero, a little forceful, pressed for confirmation. Kazusa, unable to suppress the heat rising to his face, gave a small nod. Just then, the arrival chime sounded, and the elevator doors smoothly opened. Out stepped a couple in their early fifties, accompanied by a young woman who seemed to be their daughter—the VIP room guests.
Switching to his professional mode immediately, Kazusa gave a polite bow, saying, “Welcome.”
Zero greeted them in his low, rich voice, and the young woman, who had just turned twenty, blushed. It seemed she found him a bit too captivating for someone raised in sheltered surroundings. Upon closer look, Kazusa noticed her mother was also gazing at Zero in fascination. If their excitement peaked right here, it would put the rest of the cast to shame.
(As expected, I think it’s best for the Owner to avoid personally greeting guests.)
Resolving this silently, Kazusa, along with his charmingly irresistible lover—Zero—spoke the customary welcome phrase in unison to greet their guests.
“Welcome to ‘NIGHT SAFARI’!”

*Author’s Postscript:
Hello, everyone, I’m Iwamoto Kaoru. Thank you for picking up ‘Resonance Passion: Omegaverse’. This work is the latest in the Resonance series, following ‘Resonance Heat’ and ‘Resonance Lust’. Since the protagonist has shifted to a new character, it can be enjoyed as a standalone read. For those who start with this book and want to dive deeper into the Resonance world, please consider supporting the previous volumes as well. I’d be grateful.
Since Resonance Heat and Resonance Lust were both full of events, they turned out to be quite long. So I was asked to make this one less voluminous and keep the story relatively straightforward. Back then, I confidently submitted the plot, assuring, “This time it’ll be fine!” …The result, however, was a two-part release. I honestly wish I could go back and ask my past self why I thought it would work…
Interestingly, the lounge’s name, ‘NIGHT SAFARI’, originated from the title of a short piece I wrote for a doujinshi (fan fiction) ages ago. The protagonists of that story were also a doctor and a mysterious man of the night. While they only share that basic setup, the story here is completely different. For those who happen to own that fan fiction, it might be fun to compare them!
This time, the illustrations were once again done by Hasukawa Ai-sensei. Although the book unexpectedly turned into a two-part release, which may have inconvenienced some, personally, I felt a sense of accomplishment with Hasukawa-sensei’s two colour illustrations! And this time, there are two versions of the protagonist Kazusa—as a beta and an omega. As for the other protagonist, Zero, I’d mentally cast Hasukawa-sensei’s art to bring him to life, envisioning a character both mysterious and dazzling, full of wild charm. And it’s as if Hasukawa-sensei read my mind, bringing ‘the enigmatic man of the night’ to life perfectly. Thank you so much, Hasukawa-sensei, I love you! (Haha❤️)
Currently, the Resonance series is also being adapted into a manga, ‘Alpha’s Bride: Resonance Romance Omegaverse’ illustrated by Yukimura Kanae-sensei, which is serialised digitally. This story follows Keiki, the eldest son of the Shutou family, and Riku, a high schooler raised as an omega despite being an alpha. As it approaches its climax, every update brings shouts of excitement from readers, which makes me as the original author very happy. It’s not too late to catch up. So for those interested in joining the fun, we’re eagerly waiting for you!
Finally, thank you once again for reading. I hope to see you in my next work. Until then, take care and be well.
📝Iwamoto Kaoru

*Translator’s Note: Don’t ask. I didn’t read the manga and I won’t be translating manga. I’m not very interested in that kind of storyline to be honest anyway. Thanks for staying with me till the end. Will be translating a 3P relationship story next (link will only work once I posted a chapter. You guys gotta wait). Enjoy! -K
