"W-What are you staring at me for?"
Faced with her younger sister's gaze, Kaede spoke with forced bravado, looking entirely guilty.
"Nothing."
Suzu calmly averted her eyes and sighed helplessly in her heart.
Her cuckold addiction had flared up; Kaede's cuckold addiction had absolutely flared up again.
She really didn't know why Kaede had developed a cuckold fetish out of nowhere. The only thing that made Suzu somewhat relieved was that the girls Rin Ito found were all excellent, so no horrific internal drama had broken out.
And she had actually created something called the Cuckold Alliance! What's more, there were actually quite a few members in this alliance!
"Isn't it all because of you..." Kaede pouted, muttering in a voice too quiet for Suzu to hear.
If it wasn't to let you, Suzu, feel completely at ease with your desires, I wouldn't have pretended to have a cuckold fetish in the first place!
This is all for Suzu's sake—at least, Kaede truly believed it was for Suzu's sake.
But the focus right now wasn't Suzu!
Kaede slightly slowed her pace, falling behind them by more than half a body length, then pulled out her phone to send a message to Rin Ito.
Kaede: [I saw everything through the camera system. What are you and Mashiro planning?]
Rin Ito: [Mashiro wants to drag Rita into the water.]
Rin Ito didn't hide anything and told Kaede his entire plan with Mashiro. He had nothing to hide from Kaede anyway, and besides, with Kaede's cooperation, it would be much easier to drag Rita down with them!
Beyond that, Rin Ito also shared his deductions about Rita's own schemes with Kaede.
After understanding their plans, Kaede chatted idly with Suzu and Nanami while mapping out her options. By the time they reached home, she already had a brilliant plan in mind.
Kaede lifted her leg and lightly kicked Suzu's rear where Nanami couldn't see.
Seeing her older sister's "just according to plan" expression, Suzu knew that Kaede had come up with another piece of terrifying wisdom.
Arriving at the front door, Kaede stopped Nanami, who was just about to go back and drop her schoolbag first.
"He seems to have not cooked today. Nanami, come and help out too."
Normally, even if Kaede didn't say anything, Nanami would come over to help. Before Nanami could even process why she specifically mentioned it today, Suzu cooperated by "subtly" pushing Nanami toward the Hoshitsuki household.
Helping out with cooking first wasn't an issue. Since she was already at the door, Nanami followed the two sisters back into the Hoshitsuki residence.
"Help me stall her."
While Nanami was putting on her apron, Kaede whispered to Suzu, then pretended to use the restroom and quietly slipped out of the kitchen. After leaving Nanami's line of sight, Kaede quickly ran back to her room, opened her computer, copied the surveillance footage onto her phone, and then opened the window to climb straight over to the adjacent house.
On the other side, Rita, who was waiting for Nanami in Mashiro's bedroom, heard a sound outside the window. Curious, she walked over and pulled the curtains aside.
"Uwah!!" The sudden appearance of Kaede outside the window startled the anxious Rita. Only after recognizing her did she pat her chest and sigh in relief. "Why did you climb over through the window?"
Currently, Rita was the only one in the room. To prevent Mashiro from accidentally letting anything slip, Rita had sent Mashiro to Rin Ito's room to read manga.
She didn't expect that the person she was waiting for wasn't Nanami, but Kaede.
"Hehehe~ To avoid being caught by Nanami, of course." Kaede climbed into the room, patted her skirt down, then pulled out her phone and waved it in front of her face. "I captured some incredible material today~"
"!!!!" Rita instinctively held her breath, though she tried her best to look calm, maintaining her smile. "Incredible material? Wh-What kind of material?"
Kaede smirked and pressed the play button on her phone. Immediately, the figures of the three appeared on the screen from a surveillance camera angle, accompanied by Mashiro's voice.
"The baby's room is itchy."
Rita stumbled backward, completely unable to maintain her previous composure, while the sheer delight at the corner of Kaede's lips could no longer be contained.
"I was worried about Mashiro's health, so I wanted to check on her through the surveillance cameras. I didn't expect to see something so fascinating. I never knew Mashiro could be like this... Rita, you wouldn't want Nanami to see this footage, would you?"
Rita instinctively swallowed her saliva.
If Nanami saw this, she would absolutely never be able to forgive Mashiro!
Kaede was a childhood friend who had been defeated by Nanami, the newcomer. She must be planning to use this surveillance footage to rip Nanami and Rin Ito apart.
On that front, Kaede's objective aligned with hers, but if this recording was made public, Mashiro and Nanami's friendship would undoubtedly shatter as well.
No... I can't let her make it public!
"What... what do you want?"
"What do I want? I want to ask what you want to do." Kaede walked over to the desk, picked up the lewd sketches, and waved them. "Hehe... you guys have already done erotic things, haven't you?"
Looking at a cold-sweat-drenched Rita, Kaede's expression was filled with absolute triumph... Hmph, her NTR stat actually surged to 83. Trying to cuckold me comes with a heavy price, you know.
Rita knew that anything she said now would be entirely useless.
"P-Please... as long as you don't tell Nanami about this, I... I'll do anything." Rita lowered her body, assuming the pose she had seen in manga, and slammed her forehead against the floor to perform a dogeza right in front of Kaede.
"Anything? Then what if I want you to hand this footage to Nanami yourself?"
"No! Anything but that!"
"Then... lick my foot?" Kaede extended her foot, encased in her black over-knee school socks, right in front of Rita's eyes. After a full day at school, her toes carried a faint scent of sweat.
This kind of thing... this kind of thing...
But as long as Nanami didn't find out.
After a moment of agonizing hesitation, Rita lifted her face, cradled Kaede's foot in her palms, and slowly lowered her head. Just as her lips were about to touch the fabric, Kaede pulled her foot back.
"I have zero interest in that sort of thing. I just wanted to verify your sincerity."
In truth, she had licked Suzu's before... back when Suzu extended her foot while wearing pantyhose drenched in his sticky fluids. To maintain her cuckold persona, Kaede had no choice but to lick it clean.
Those belonged to the small intimate pleasures of their threesomes; Kaede and Suzu had even played a game where they clamped each other's legs to lick the sticky fluids off each other's feet.
"Hah... hah..."
Rita felt completely drained of strength, panting heavily, her forehead thoroughly drenched in cold sweat.
Kaede sat on the edge of the bed, crossing her legs.
"It seems our objectives align perfectly. How about we cooperate?"
"..." Rita lightly bit her lower lip. "Fine."
If it were when she first arrived, their objectives would have truly aligned. She wanted to take Mashiro away, and Kaede wanted to win Rin Ito back, leaving Nanami as the only casualty.
But now...
Mashiro had already been thoroughly eaten and cleaned out by him, and she herself had been completely exposed to his gaze.
How could she simply back out now!?
But for the moment, she could only accept the terms to keep her stabilized. In any case, this surveillance recording must never be seen by Nanami.
"What... what do you plan to do?"
Kaede glanced at the lewd sketches Mashiro had drawn.
"Since you've already done erotic things with him anyway, seduce him and have him actually fuck you. Then, I'll bring Nanami over to catch you both in the act. Extremely simple, right?"
Kaede's face was a mask of pure delight... This morning, she had already seen Rita proactively teasing him in front of Nanami through the camera system.
But she only wants to rub on the outside and doesn't want him to enter? In your dreams!
We're opening the party first, and we'll worry about the rest later.
