Beep... beep... beep... beep...
The sound of the keypad lock was like the footsteps of the Grim Reaper.
Facing a fate potentially as grim as Sumire Enase's, Momoko Suzuki did not back down.
She chose to stand in front of everyone, her petite frame appearing tall and grand in the eyes of Suzune and the others.
Click!
As the sound of the lock opening echoed, from an angle where no one behind her could see, a spark of... excitement appeared in Momoko's determined eyes!
The door in front of her was pulled open just a crack.
As the gap widened, the excitement in Momoko's eyes became even more obvious.
When the door was finally flung wide open, before even seeing who was outside, Momoko shouted with exhilaration.
"Let them go! If you want something, come at me!"
"...?"
Rin Ito, standing outside, was completely stunned.
He had expected them to cry, scream, or beg for mercy, but he never expected Momoko to spread her arms like a protective hen and tell him to "come at her."
"Eh? Rin-senpai and Ka-Karen-san!?"
Sayu's voice from behind snapped the excited Momoko back to reality.
Only then did she notice that the people outside weren't some tan athletes or a Black bartender, but Rin and Karen.
Behind them stood Shion and another maid she didn't recognize.
Under Momoko's dazed gaze, Rin reached out and flicked her forehead.
"Ouch! Eh? Ehhh??? Why?"
Rin handed his phone to Suzu, and she began to play the recording.
[Hmph... we're all men here. Aren't you tired of acting? Sumire Enase is one of yours, right?]
[Uh... yeah. Correct.]
[How much did you pay Sumire to find girls for you?]
[We didn't pay her. That girl is just a depraved slut. She loves watching girls fall into corruption. She's a total freak.]
[Exactly. Big Brother... they're all passed out now. We won't touch your two 'sisters,' but you get first pick of the rest, okay? Let us see what a real man can do.]
The more they heard the recording, the paler their faces became. After it finished, Rin took his phone back.
"This was just to give you a little scare... do you still dare to drink randomly in public?"
People don't learn from words, they learn from experience.
Rin didn't need to say more; that moment of despair was enough to leave a permanent mark.
"I was suspicious from the start, but I only became certain they had a plot when they suggested going to the bar...
"Forget Sumire; even the waitress at the BBQ place was likely working with them."
Suzune and the others let out long breaths of relief, their hearts still pounding from the close call.
"Rin-senpai! Then Sumire... how did Sumire end up like that?"
"Mmm..." Rin pondered for a moment...
For the others, it was fine—even Sayu had only known Sumire for a week—but Momoko had been close to her for longer and considered her a best friend.
Being betrayed by a best friend like that... it must be hard to take.
After a moment of deliberation, Rin spoke.
"I know you were close to her, but from the beginning, she was—"
"Stop, stop, stop~~~" Momoko made a large 'X' with her arms in front of her.
"I know she was lying to me, and I won't play with her anymore. But I know how she ended up like this. Did Rin-senpai violate her?"
"No, I was worried about catching something. It's just 'artificial porridge' on her body."
"Did you shoot it directly onto her, Senpai?" Momoko asked, her voice filled with excitement.
"Of course not," it wasn't Rin who answered, but Karen. "With me here, why would he ever need to do it himself?"
?????
Not just Momoko—Suzune, Sayu, and Saki were all frozen.
They had originally thought Rin was just on good terms with Karen and called her over because he knew her lackeys were plotting.
But now... what did Karen mean by "With me here, why would he ever need to do it himself"?
His relationship with Karen seemed much deeper than it appeared.
Facing the girls' confused gazes, Karen glanced at Kaede and then stood on her tiptoes to give Rin a kiss on the lips.
Suzu glanced at Kaede.
Although Suzu didn't know about the system, she could tell Kaede was faking sleep.
If Kaede weren't here, Suzu would have stopped it, but since Kaede was "unconscious"... she might as well let her enjoy the feeling of being cucked in public.
The one who objected wasn't Kaede or Suzu, but Saki Yoshida.
Her gaze darted between Karen, Rin, Kaede, and Suzu.
Unable to process the reality, Saki became incoherent.
"H-him... you... aren't you and Kaede and Suzu...????"
Finding out this morning that Kaede and Suzu shared a boyfriend was shock enough for Saki, but Suzu was Kaede's sister...
Maybe there was some secret reason for it.
But Karen... this was blatant infidelity.
Saki wasn't angry; she didn't have the right to be. Instead, she had a daring thought...
If Kaede can accept Karen, could she accept me?
The daring thought died out within a second.
Karen was the Young Mistress of the Okiura family. How could Saki compare?
Rin had only helped her transform because he pitied her for being a loner.
If he really liked her, with his personality, he would have moved on her long ago instead of waiting.
While Saki was stuck in an internal spiral of hesitation, Momoko Suzuki lunged forward in front of Rin and Karen.
She summoned her courage, lifting her petite face to stare into Rin's eyes with a look of intense shame and longing.
She gripped the hem of Rin's shirt tightly.
"Rin-senpai, please take responsibility for me!"
Rin was baffled.
"Responsibility??? For what? I haven't touched you. Your clothes were messed up by Karen and the others."
"It was your plan, Senpai, that awakened some... incredible interests in me. So, you have to take responsibility."
"Incredible interests? Like what? What kind of interest requires me to take responsibility?"
"I want to be like Sumire!" Momoko winked at Rin.
"Please mess me up just like you messed up Sumire! Oh, and you said you were worried about catching something from her, right? I'm still a virgin! I definitely don't have any weird diseases!"
Momoko spoke as she pressed her body against Rin.
The closer she got, the more excited her voice became, her pupils dilating with uncontainable thrill.
Finally, she pressed her cheek directly against Rin's crotch.
"You can eat me, Senpai. I don't care how you toy with me. You can use me as a cup... no, please use me as a cup or even a disposable toilet! Please, Senpai, mess me up!"
Hearing Momoko's words, Suzu raised an eyebrow...
Now she knew why Momoko had been staring so intently at Sumire. She had awakened a very specific, intense fetish.
"I didn't even realize I had this kink until I saw how cute and pathetic Sumire looked."
Momoko continued, rubbing her cheek against Rin's lap through his trousers.
"The idea of waking up and being used as a tool for lust or even a toilet is just too stimulating!"
"I can't go back. After seeing Sumire like that, I'm far gone. Rin-senpai, you have to take responsibility... even... even if you don't want to keep me, please just use me like a toilet and throw me away ruthlessly when you're done!"
Rin could feel Momoko practically trying to lick him through the fabric of his pants.
To be honest, this was the first time he had met such a blatant pervert.
It wasn't that he wanted to refuse, he was just genuinely surprised by the intensity of her fetish.
Standing nearby, Karen tugged at Rin's sleeve.
"If Suzuki-san tries this fetish with the wrong person, she'll end up in a very bad way."
After speaking, Karen gave Momoko a look. Momoko immediately caught on and followed her lead.
"Exactly! This kind of perverted interest can only be handled by someone trustworthy like Rin-senpai! Please, Senpai, use me as a tool!"
"Since you've put it that way... fine."
"!!!!" Saki Yoshida snapped out of her spiral...
He just agreed? Even if Kaede doesn't mind, shouldn't he at least consult his girlfriend before being unfaithful!?
Did I just miss another opportunity!?
