Under Nogami Izumi's orders, Sanada Minako and Hinata Sae each took out a stack of their allowance from their skirt pockets.
Nogami Izumi then pulled out the thickest stack of bills from her own pocket.
Gathering the three stacks together, she walked up to Hikari and forcefully stuffed the thick wad of cash into his hands.
"Take it! This is the friendship fee we're handing over to you today!", After stuffing all of her allowance into Hikari's hands, Nogami Izumi looked at him with an arrogant, smug expression.
"Uh... isn't this a bit much?", Hikari politely tried to refuse.
"If I tell you to take it, then take it. What, are you looking down on the three-gyaru squad? Looking down on me, Nogami Izumi?", Nogami Izumi shoved Hikari against the wall, pinning him there as she threatened him.
"If you don't accept the friendship fee we're giving you, then you don't want to be our friend. That means you're looking down on us!", Hinata Sae chimed in.
"And if you look down on us, we'll have to teach you a lesson~", Sanada Minako said with a smile.
"All right then," Seeing the three girls insist, Hikari, 'against his will', counted the thick stack of bills in his hand before confidently putting them into his pocket.
"That's more like it!", Seeing Hikari obediently accept the friendship fee, Nogami Izumi looked satisfied with her successful "bullying."
"Hurry up and take out your homework. We're going to copy it for you! We'll turn you into a bad student who doesn't do his own homework. Hehehe!", Hinata Sae said impatiently.
"Come sit in front of me. I'm going to give you a really thorough shoulder massage! So? Doesn't it feel humiliating to be bullied like this?", While Hinata Sae copied his homework, Sanada Minako pressed Hikari into a chair, washing his hair with facial cleanser while carefully massaging his shoulders and pounding his back.
Not to be outdone, Nogami Izumi also came over in front of Hikari and humiliated him like a little puppy.
Under the effects of the altered common sense, the three gyarus helped Hikari with his homework, gave him massages, and kneaded his feet.
Each of them wore a smug, overbearing expression the whole time.
He got to watch these annoying gyarus make fools of themselves while enjoying their service. It was a win-win, Hikari won twice.
After "educating" the three gyarus and enjoying their attentive service, Hikari picked up his completed homework and the allowance money he had counted, then stood up in satisfaction, ready to leave.
But just as he got to his feet, Nogami Izumi suddenly pushed him back into the chair.
"Wait, don't go yet!"
The three gyarus immediately crowded around him again, all wearing strange grins.
Seeing them suddenly surround him again, Hikari's expression changed.
"I came here to be bullied. What are you trying to do?"
At his surprised expression, Nogami Izumi and the other two girls all smiled wickedly, "What are we doing?"
"You'll find out in a second!"
"Hehehe!"
The three girls knelt in front of Hikari together, six small hands reaching out at once.
As his belt fell with a clatter, Nogami Izumi, Sanada Minako, and Hinata Sae carried out the plan they had agreed on yesterday, to defile Hikari and make him experience their ultimate humiliation.
They would begin with an attack of lips and tongues.
———
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Inside the girls' restroom, Nogami Izumi coughed violently several times. As air moved through her throat, it burned painfully.
Beside her, her two close friends, Sanada Minako and Hinata Sae, kept rinsing their mouths.
"Damn it... my throat hurts so much. How is Hikari that ridiculous...", Nogami Izumi rinsed her mouth, drank some water to soothe her throat, and complained nonstop.
"Yeah. My cheeks are sore too. It's my first time realizing bullying someone can be this exhausting," Hinata Sae rubbed her aching cheeks and complained as well.
"But it feels pretty fresh. And bullying Hikari-kun like this gives me a strange sense of satisfaction. Don't you think?", Although her own throat was burning and her cheeks felt sore and numb, Sanada Minako smiled as she spoke.
Nogami Izumi, who was wiping her dirty collar with a wet wipe, thought about it for a moment before nodding.
"That's true. It's my first time using this kind of punishment, and it felt pretty fresh and fun. Especially seeing Hikari pretending everything was fine and forcing a smile even while I was humiliating him. That felt really good!"
"I heard Hikari-kun even has a girlfriend. That makes it even better. Hehe!", Sanada Minako said happily. She borrowed a few wet wipes from Nogami Izumi and carefully cleaned her own collar, taking even longer than Nogami Izumi.
Watching her two friends, Hinata Sae, who had a naturally flat chest, couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
"Sigh... I wish I were as big as you two. When I was teaching Hikari a lesson, I could only use my mouth and hands. When will I be able to do what you two can? It's so frustrating!", Hinata Sae grumbled while washing her hands.
Sanada Minako smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, Sae-chan. You can look up guides online. There are plenty of ways to teach Hikari-kun a lesson."
Nogami Izumi nodded as well, "Your natural assets might not be as good, but you exercise more than we do, right? You're more agile with your hands and feet, and who knows? You might still develop later."
After comforting Hinata Sae for a bit, Nogami Izumi sneered again.
"By the way, even though teaching Hikari a lesson this time felt great, next time we're taking it a step further!"
Sanada Minako's eyes lit up, "How?"
Nogami Izumi grinned wickedly, "This time we let him off because our throats hurt too much. But next time we're going all out. We absolutely can't just use our mouths."
"When the time comes, I'll be the first to take Hikari's virginity!"
"I'll be second!", Sanada Minako immediately declared.
"No! I'm always second!", Hinata Sae protested.
"I really like Hikari-kun's looks. What's wrong with letting me go second?", Sanada Minako said, somewhat unhappy.
"You can like him all you want, but you can't break the rules," Hinata Sae still refused.
Seeing her two friends actually arguing over a "toy," Nogami Izumi had no choice but to step in.
"All right, all right. Stop arguing. After I'm done, you two can go together. Happy?"
After Nogami Izumi smoothed things over, the three gyarus finally reached an agreement, deciding that next time each of them would take a part of Hikari's first time.
———
Meanwhile, Hikari, having just been "bullied" by the three-gyaru squad's attack of lips and tongues, was slowly walking back toward the classroom.
Unlike what Nogami Izumi and the others imagined, that he would be depressed after being bullied, Hikari's expression was calm.
After all, under the altered common sense, their so-called bullying was nothing more than giving him benefits while degrading themselves.
Naturally, it had no effect on him.
Even the panic he displayed at the time, when he couldn't control his size and filled all three of their mouths, had simply been part of the act.
Once he removed the hypnosis at the right time, all of this would become a sharp blade that corrected the personalities of Nogami Izumi and the other two girls.
Stretching lazily, Hikari continued walking with light steps.
But just as he was about to return to the classroom, his phone suddenly rang.
Taking it out of his pocket, he saw that it was Louisa, the student council president of Saint Seika Girls' Academy.
Hikari immediately answered.
"Hello? Louisa?"
["Hikari-kun~"]
As soon as the call connected, the student council president greeted him sweetly.
If the girls at Saint Seika Girls' Academy ever heard that soft, coquettish voice, they would probably be completely shocked.
At school, Louisa was known for being cold and serious. No one would have imagined she had such a delicate, spoiled side.
Hikari, however, was already used to it.
"So, why did you suddenly call me?", he asked.
Louisa asked first, ["Hikari-kun, is anyone around you right now?"]
"No," Hikari remained standing in the hallway instead of going back into class.
Louisa immediately spoke in an affected, incredibly seductive voice, ["Daddy~ I miss you. Your daughter has been under so much pressure lately. Can you help relax my body and mind?"]
Hearing the wealthy heiress and student council president acting so spoiled toward him, Hikari nodded at the air.
"Sure. When do you want me to help you?"
Louisa thought for a moment, ["Daddy, how about this afternoon?"]
Hikari considered it briefly before nodding, "All right."
He actually had other things to do today.
According to the Pure Love Future Diary, he still needed to go to the park this evening to investigate the Shibaharu Cult.
But since Louisa wanted to meet in the afternoon, there was enough time.
After all, Louisa was no longer the stiff young lady who lacked fatherly love and needed guidance. She had become his obedient adopted daughter.
Given the understanding they now shared, half an afternoon should be more than enough to thoroughly help her relax both physically and mentally.
After agreeing on the time and place, Louisa continued acting spoiled toward her cheap adopted father behind the back of her conglomerate-chairwoman mother for quite a while, even blowing several kisses through the phone.
After responding to her a little, Hikari hung up.
Once the remaining classes were over, the dismissal bell rang, and Hikari packed up his schoolbag and prepared to go home.
Since he was going to help Louisa relax, he wasn't going to waste time attending club activities.
Before leaving school, however, he called over the socially anxious girl, Yoshida Saki.
"Yoshida, come home with me after school," Hikari said.
"Huh?", Yoshida Saki froze.
"Didn't I tell you this morning that I'd already found an apartment and signed the lease? You can move in today. It's two floors above mine," Hikari explained.
"T-Today?", Yoshida Saki exclaimed happily.
"You don't want to move?"
"No! I just thought it'd take a few more days," she said excitedly.
"Today's the day. Come home with me. I'll take you to Asou Apartments so you can get familiar with the place."
"Okay," Yoshida Saki looked at him with delight.
Having already come to trust Hikari completely, she followed him out of the school without the slightest hesitation.
A socially anxious girl with no friends really could end up trusting someone with all her heart. At this point, even if Hikari sold her, she would probably help count the money.
But Yoshida Saki knew very well that the luckiest thing that had ever happened to her was meeting Hikari.
After calming her excitement a little, Hikari first took a taxi to the Richter Hotel to pick up her luggage, then brought her to Asou Apartments.
After carrying her luggage into Room 502, where she would be living, Hikari had her sign the lease.
"All right. Put the contract away. From now on, this is your new home."
"Home... I have a home again... sob...", Looking at the apartment, which wasn't particularly large but was more than spacious enough for one person, Yoshida Saki was overwhelmed with emotion. Her eyes immediately became moist.
Unable to stop her tears, she said apologetically to Hikari, "I made you spend so much money again, Hikari-kun. Renting another apartment must have cost you a lot."
Hikari waved his hand, "It's fine. I'm on pretty good terms with the landlady here, so it didn't cost much."
"I see...", Yoshida Saki nodded.
But after looking around the apartment's layout, she suddenly froze.
She noticed that the sofa cover was still somewhat damp, a quilt was hanging out on the balcony to dry, and there was a lingering pungent smell inside the room.
Seeing that Hikari didn't seem surprised by any of it, she, having played plenty of adult games in the past, suddenly realized something.
Yoshida Saki fell into deep thought.
Hikari had just said the landlady barely charged him, and he'd specifically mentioned that the landlord was a woman. Combined with these strange traces...
'Could it be that, just to make sure I have somewhere to live and a place to call home, Hikari-kun was forced to offer himself to that landlady?'
Looking at Hikari's extraordinarily handsome face and tall, well-built figure, Yoshida Saki realized it really was entirely possible.
