Rita realized she had been set up.
She didn't know if Mashiro was involved in setting her up, but even if she was, Rita could forgive her. After all, Mashiro just didn't want to be separated from her.
What kind of bad intentions could Mashiro have?
Maybe Mashiro was used by them... no, Mashiro was definitely used by them!
No matter what the duel is, I must win!
After dinner and briefly clearing the table, Kaede, Rita, and Nanami sat in a row on the living room sofa. Nanami and Kaede flanked Rita on the left and right, creating a pincer attack.
And Rita could form a pincer attack all by herself.
She just needed to lie on her side and squeeze a little to turn into a 'Spicy Chicken Sandwich' (A meme reference to a busty character squeezing her cleavage).
As for Rin Ito and Mashiro, they flanked Suzu on the left and right.
"Ahem!" Rin Ito held the TV remote like a microphone. "Then, the Second Battle for Mashiro, also known as the First Battle for Rin Ito, officially begins."
With that, Rin Ito handed the remote to Suzu.
"Mashiro and I are the prizes. The role of host for this event goes to Miss Suzu Hoshitsuki."
Rin Ito didn't know if Kaede had colluded with Suzu, but Suzu had come up with countless wicked ideas to bully Kaede since they were kids. She should be fine improvising!
"Objection!" Rita raised her hand. "Miss Suzu Hoshitsuki is Kaede Hoshitsuki's younger sister. I request recusal."
"Objection overruled," Suzu said flatly. "Does contestant Rita want to call another host over?"
"..."
Rita was instantly choked up... Besides Mashiro, my only friends here are the girls at Baumkuchen. Baumkuchen is his club; they will definitely help him.
Just like how Kei helped him stall me before, even if I called someone over, they would definitely help him.
And besides... how could I possibly call another person over for something like this!
"Don't worry. Suzu has been teasing Kaede since they were little. She won't help her, nor will she help you or Nanami... right?"
Rin Ito winked at Suzu. The tacit understanding built from years of teasing Kaede together allowed Suzu to immediately grasp Rin Ito's intention.
"Mmh." Suzu nodded without hesitation. "I will be a fair referee. I will not show favoritism to any contestant."
I agreed to be a fair referee and indeed have no intention of helping Kaede, Rita, or Nanami... But I'm the referee, not a contestant.
"Alright..."
Since Suzu said so, Rita couldn't argue further. If I catch her favoring Kaede, I'll just protest again.
As the 'prize'... oh no, the 'trophy', Rin Ito sat on a single armchair nearby, holding the other 'trophy', Mashiro.
Mashiro wiggled her little bottom, adjusted to a comfortable position, and leaned against Rin Ito's chest. But before the seat even got warm, Suzu called her up.
"You guys, go get the painting supplies. Two sets."
Although Rin Ito didn't know what Suzu was planning, he still fetched two sets of painting supplies. Suzu went upstairs to Kaede's room... Kaede's room was stocked with all sorts of wondrous little gadgets redeemed from the system, no less than what was in Mashiro's room.
Of course, Kaede claimed to the outside world that she bought all these system-redeemed gadgets.
While Rin Ito and Suzu went to prepare the items, the three girls sitting on the sofa looked a bit anxious... especially Kaede. She knew very well that Suzu's little head was full of wicked ideas!
Seeing Kaede's anxious expression, Rita sighed in relief... If Suzu were going to help her, she wouldn't have that expression.
In less than five minutes, Rin Ito, carrying the easels, and Suzu, holding the gadgets, returned to the living room.
The easels were normal enough, but what were those funnel-like things in Suzu's hands... Hmm? Why do they look so scared!?
Rita noticed a hint of terror on Kaede and Nanami's faces... I don't know what those are, but they're definitely nothing good!
"First, take off your clothes." Suzu paused before adding, "You don't need to take off your pantyhose or thigh-highs."
Rin Ito strongly agreed with this... Keeping socks on is good civilization!
How do you make a character look even more erotic when they have no clothes on? Just put socks on them!
The three quickly stripped off all fabric except for their socks. Rita was wearing Mashiro's white thigh-highs, Kaede wore black over-knee socks, and Nanami wore standard black thigh-highs.
Having used speculums before, Kaede and Nanami expertly hooked their arms under their knees and spread their legs wide open after undressing. Both their front and rear private parts were completely exposed to the cool air, twitching adorably from nervousness and shyness.
"???"
Completely baffled, Rita had no choice but to imitate their pose... Fortunately, I've struck this pose before when modeling for Mashiro. Although displaying myself like this in front of Suzu makes me a bit shy, I have to do it to win this duel.
I'm going all in!
However...
Gulp.
Rita swallowed nervously. She watched helplessly as Suzu handed a bottle of lubricant and a duckbill speculum to Rin Ito, watched helplessly as Rin Ito poured lubricant onto the transparent speculum, and watched helplessly as Rin Ito inserted the transparent speculum into Kaede's body.
"Uu!!!"
Finally, amidst Kaede's short cry, Rin Ito turned the knob. The transparent speculum gradually stretched Kaede's body open, and the cool air invading her body made Kaede shudder.
Then... Click~
Rin Ito pressed a switch on the speculum, and a small LED light instantly turned on, perfectly and clearly displaying her stretched-open, tender pink interior.
After finishing with Kaede, Rin Ito mischievously skipped Rita in the middle and squatted in front of Nanami. Nanami had used this several times before and was already accustomed to it.
Sitting between the two, Rita watched as the bodies of the girls on her left and right were stretched open, her shoulders trembling with anxiety. This is way more shameful than being eaten by Rin Ito!
This is exposing the absolute deepest parts of my body without any reservation!
And judging from Suzu having Rin Ito prepare the drawing boards, she's going to have him and Mashiro draw the insides of our bodies!
"Ah...!!!"
The cold lubricant elicited a soft gasp from Rita. Her virgin territory had only recently been breached, and her muscles were extremely tense due to nervousness.
However, no matter how tense Rita's body was, it was still soft compared to the unyielding tool. As Rin Ito turned the knob, Rita's body was stretched open, revealing the deepest parts of her interior, which were then burned into the photographic memory of Mashiro.
The cool air and extreme shame made Rita tremble uncontrollably.
Actually, Suzu was holding back. Both Nanami and Kaede had experienced the sensation of having both front and back stretched open simultaneously.
"Draw it down. You don't need to draw the whole body, just the stretched-open part here."
"Wait a minute!! Drawing... how is drawing considered a duel!?" Rita couldn't help but protest, but Suzu had anticipated this.
"The duel hasn't started yet. This is just preparing the props for the duel."
"P-Props for the duel!?"
At this moment, Rita's heart was as cold as Suzu's expression.
