"Ahem, this is Airi. My relationship with her is the same as with you all."
In the evening, in his room, facing the gazes of several girls, Kaoru felt somewhat awkward, as if he were introducing a mistress to his wife.
But he couldn't show weakness because Sakura Airi was hiding behind him—if he faltered, she would feel even more embarrassed.
At that moment, apart from Asahina Nazuna, all of Kaoru's current official girlfriends were present: Ichinose Honami, Karuizawa Kei, Horikita Suzune, and Kushida Kikyo.
No Kamuro Masumi or Sakayanagi Arisu?
Sorry, those two absolutely refused to come, as if admitting they were Kaoru's girlfriends would be too embarrassing.
Perhaps caught off guard by Ichinose Honami and the others, the room fell into a heavy silence.
Sakura Airi didn't dare meet their eyes, tightly clutching the hem of Kaoru's shirt, almost burying her pretty face in her chest.
Kaoru met their gazes, his heart racing a bit. Even for someone as shameless as him, he felt somewhat nervous and awkward now.
Just then, Kushida Kikyo suddenly broke the tense atmosphere.
"So you called us here to introduce your new girlfriend, huh? How shameless."
She chuckled, "No need for introductions. Airi is my friend; we see each other every day in class."
Kushida Kikyo moved closer to Sakura Airi, who flinched like a startled animal, instinctively trying to shrink away.
But before she could, Kushida grabbed her shoulders, undid her braids, used a hair clip to push back her bangs, and finally removed her glasses.
After a careful look, Kushida murmured, "Just as I thought—way too cute."
Freed from her braids and glasses, Sakura Airi's beauty was completely unleashed.
Her delicate features, under the room's lighting, had a stunning effect that could captivate the entire room.
If she were on stage, with her well-developed figure and slender, proportionate legs, Sakura Airi already possessed the charm to attract everyone's attention without much makeup—after all, she was a magazine model.
If anything, Sakura Airi seemed very uncomfortable with everyone's attention on her, shyly hiding behind Kaoru.
"P-please don't look at me like that... Kushida..."
"Just call me Kikyo. It's such a shame someone as cute as Airi ended up with him."
"I-It's not... not a shame at all..."
"Oh? Already defending this perverted foot fetishist, are we?""Wuwuwu... please let me go..."
Seeing Sakura Airi's flushed face, Kushida Kikyo found it even more amusing.
"Though this might sound strange, I actually welcome you, Airi-san."
Ichinose Honami showed a gentle smile. "Falling for this pervert might be the unluckiest yet bravest thing we've ever done in our lives."
Sakura Airi was slightly surprised.
She actually understood Ichinose Honami's standing within this small circle - she was Kaoru's first publicly acknowledged girlfriend.
In other words, Ichinose Honami was the nominal main wife.
When she agreed to Kaoru's invitation tonight, Sakura Airi had approached it with the mindset of paying respects to the main wife, feeling particularly anxious and afraid that Ichinose Honami might be angry with her.
Kushida Kikyo noticed Sakura Airi's nervousness, which was why she deliberately broke the ice. Relying on her previous interactions with Sakura Airi, she knew that speaking first would effectively ease Airi's unease.
And now, Ichinose Honami's timely words touched Sakura Airi deeply.
"But... don't you think I'm strange?"
Sakura Airi whispered.
"Strange?"
Ichinose Honami tilted her head. "Airi-san is very cute, what would be strange about that?"
Sakura Airi was speechless.
She didn't know how to respond - she couldn't just directly ask Ichinose Honami about her views on "the other woman" and why she was being so friendly.
To be honest, Sakura Airi had always felt rather despicable, secretly making advances while the others weren't paying attention.
Looking back on it later, she had tossed and turned in her bed for a long time, dying of embarrassment, almost wanting to take a leave of absence.
"It is strange."
Karuizawa Kei suddenly spoke. "Don't you think it's suspicious? Even we didn't notice Airi-san, so how could someone else have discovered her?"
From the beginning until now, Karuizawa Kei had examined Sakura Airi several times, having been stunned by Airi's beauty for quite a while herself.
When she regained her composure, her gaze toward Kaoru Mitoma became even more displeased.
Such a cute girl with a shy personality, who usually avoided contact with others completely - yet Kaoru Mitoma still managed to win her over.
Although Karuizawa Kei knew that Kaoru had teamed up with Sakura Airi before, she still felt dissatisfied.
She had completely failed to detect Kaoru's advances toward Sakura Airi!
"I also think someone should explain this clearly."
Kushida Kikyo's eyes turned sharp. "Starting from when - explain everything in detail. How exactly did you come to take notice of Airi?"
Sakura Airi blushed, feeling utterly humiliated and wanting even more to escape this situation.
"Well, it's a long story. My meeting with Airi was somewhat coincidental."
Kaoru was concerned about protecting Sakura Airi's dignity, unsure whether he should reveal her past as a photobook model.
Karuizawa Kei stared at him unblinkingly, creating considerable pressure.
"So it was because you were attracted to Airi's cuteness, right?"
Kushida Kikyo hummed a few times, clearly stirring up trouble maliciously.
Though she was well aware of the circumstances between Kaoru and Sakura Airi, she was now pretending complete ignorance, probably wanting to watch Kaoru Mitoma squirm.
Kaoru didn't know whether he should nod.
He did indeed desire Sakura Airi's body - after all, a man's primal desires are difficult to suppress.
"Yes, because Airi is very cute, so I noticed her from the very beginning."Kaoru simply gave up all pretense, "The more I get to know her, the more I find her adorable—both her appearance and her inner self. I want it all."
Upon hearing these words, Sakura Airi was already unbearably shy.
Lowering her head, she noticed Kaoru's palm and secretly reached out with her own fingers, gently brushing against his before lightly hooking her pinky around his index finger.
Almost immediately, Kaoruseemed to notice and grasped her small hand, their fingers interlacing.
Sakura Airi's heart began to pound wildly, and she grew even more afraid to look up at Ichinose Honami and the others.
"Sometimes, you really leave me speechless."
Kushida Kikyo raised her fist and punched Kaoruseveral times, "So corny, it's disgusting."
"It's truly disgusting. Tōru always says things like this to girls."
Karuizawa Kei, unusually, cast a disdainful look at Kaoru.
Pressing a hand to her chest, she shook her head as if deeply disappointed, "Sigh, aside from me, probably no one can put up with Kaoru."
"..."
Kaoruand Kushida Kikyo simultaneously fell into silence.
"Airi-san, don't mind these guys. They're always like this."
Ichinose Honami patted the spot beside her, gesturing for Sakura Airi to sit there, "I haven't had a chance to talk with you yet. Would you like to chat for a bit?"
Sakura Airi stole a glance at Kaoru, who gave a slight nod.
However, to everyone watching, this scene inexplicably gave the impression that Kaoru was keeping a pet.
Ichinose Honami, on the other hand, felt that Sakura Airi somewhat resembled her own younger sister and Shiranami Chihiro.
Faced with a shy younger sister figure, her smile grew even warmer, like an older sister's.
"Airi-san, are your glasses non-prescription?"
"N-No, they're not."
"Eh? Then why wear them? Don't you find them bothersome?"
"N-No... Wearing glasses... makes people less likely to notice me..."
"But Airi-san is so cute!"
"I-Ichinose-san is also very cute!"
"I think Airi-san is cuter!"
"Guh..."
Watching Sakura Airi sit beside Ichinose Honami, Kushida Kikyo sidled up to Kaoru and whispered.
"Who's next?"
"Would you get mad if I started counting heads?" Kaoru asked.
"No."
Kushida Kikyo pinched his arm, "See, even Horikita doesn't mind."
Up until now, Horikita Suzune had remained very quiet, silently observing as Ichinose Honami and Karuizawa Kei questioned Sakura Airi.
"Because I tricked her into coming here."
Kaoru felt a bit guilty.
Horikita Suzune had always been indifferent to his harem—whether she met them or not made no difference to her.
It was Kaoru who had to coax her into joining.
"Oh~"
Kushida Kikyo's tone turned suggestive as she meaningfully glanced between Kaoru and Horikita Suzune.
"I see."
"What do you see now?" Kaoru looked puzzled.
Kushida Kikyo immediately broke into a mischievous grin, leaning ambiguously against Kaoru.
Her soft, warm breasts pressed gently against the side of his face as she whispered, enunciating each word, "Hmm, it depends on your reason for tricking Horikita into coming here."
Kaoru grabbed her slender waist, making the girl let out an involuntary, delicate moan.
"Hey, Master, I think being completely open with each other will help Airi quickly integrate into our relationship and deepen our bonds."
Kushida Kikyo sat on Kaoru's lap, her arms wrapped around his neck as she gently rubbed against him.
Her whisper was like that of a little devil, her eyes glistening with an almost tangible allure.
The heat and temptation radiating from her caused Kaoru to react.
The room contained five girls, all of whom had previous experiences with him.
Even if he truly intended to proceed, they would hardly refuse and might even actively cooperate.
Kushida Kikyo, recognizing this, employed her usual tactics to fiercely tempt Kaoru into misbehaving with them.
As long as they all shared in some mischief, their bonds would surely grow stronger than before—this was the shared secret of their small circle.
At the same time, this was also Kushida Kikyo's experience: friends who shared little secrets inevitably developed deeper connections than ordinary friends.
"Kikyo, if this continues, I'll only fall deeper into depravity."
Kaoru felt somewhat helpless.
Lately, he found himself sinking lower, entertaining lewd desires whenever he saw Tsubasa Nanase and Amasawa Ichika.
"What's wrong with that? I'll fall with you."
Kushida Kikyo pressed her forehead against his. "When I like someone, I don't suppress my desires. If you crave my body, I'll crave yours too. I'd love to stick by your side every day."
Yes, she was a lewd girl.
She would tempt the one she liked into orgies, accept him having a harem, and even dream of having his children. In short, she had been beyond saving for a long time.
Now, she was just becoming more extreme.
"So, do you want to or not?"
Kushida Kikyo lowered her voice, confident that no one in the room would refuse Kaoru.
Kaoru silently pressed the girl in his arms onto the floor.
Since she had said as much, he couldn't just ignore it.
Horikita Suzune was the first to notice the two, and she was utterly stunned.
Next were Karuizawa Kei and Sakura Airi, followed by Ichinose Honami.
"Wow!"
Sakura Airi covered her eyes, hardly believing what she was witnessing.
What shocked her even more was that Karuizawa Kei and Ichinose Honami showed no resistance, instead appearing completely accustomed to it.
In the end, even the usually aloof Horikita Suzune fell into Kaoru Mitoma's hands.
Sakura Airi, who had already been puzzled by Horikita Suzune's presence, grew even more bewildered, finally understanding how Tachibana Akane and Asahina Nazuna must have felt.
Fortunately, Kaoru was considerate of her feelings, doing his best not to touch the sensitive nerves of the young girl.
With the help of Kushida Kikyo and Ichinose Honami, Sakura Airi found herself confusedly following along with Kaoru's actions.
As time passed, the girls gradually let loose, offering Kaoru a unique experience.
For them, however, this night was likely one they would never forget.
