"..." "..." "..."
Kaede's phone call alerted Nijika and Ryo to Ichika's presence at the door. Nijika instantly lost the urge to punish Ryo. The apartment became so quiet they could hear the faint sound of a neighbor's TV.
As they cooled down, the heavy scent of lust in the room became undeniable. Nijika and Ryo had assumed Ichika was just in the living room "fantasizing" to the sounds. They thought as long as they weren't too loud, it was fine. They never expected her to be watching through a crack.
Nijika and Ryo's minds went blank. Ichika's mind was also blank.
To Ichika, she was the girlfriend, and she suspected she was being set up. But now she was too far gone to think logically. Before, she had the "blackmail" excuse. But now... being the girlfriend but peeping on your man with other girls? Having a cuckold fetish in front of sisters was one thing; in front of outsiders...
Her brain was trembling!!!!!
Ichika was too shocked to speak. Nijika was too ashamed to move, quietly hiding her sticky feet. Ryo's mouth was still full, so she couldn't say a word.
"Ahem!"
Rin broke the silence. He patted Ryo's head. Ryo looked up and wiped the silver thread from her lips with the back of her hand, her usual expressionless face flushed with shame as she looked away.
"Let's put some clothes on first."
After a quick cleanup, the three girls sat on the tatami in the living room. Ryo and Ichika were relatively composed; Ryo's lack of expression helped hide her embarrassment, and Ichika had "party" experience and acting training.
Nijika, however... sat with her head down, gripping her skirt. Her white neck was bright red, and her lips were bitten pale. Her mind was replaying the "Little Demon" acts she had just committed.
Embarrassing memories like this don't fade; they stay vivid for decades. If Ryo or Ichika imitated her "Lick them clean" line right now, Nijika would probably die of shame.
Rin decided to come clean about the whole thing. "Here's the truth... Your sisters didn't think they could make you feel a sense of crisis as sisters, so they asked Nijika and Ryo for help."
Rin explained Nino's plan to Ichika. While she processed this, Rin wondered why Kaede had called. Usually, Kaede wouldn't interfere, especially since her "daughter" system tasked her with finding cuckold-fetish allies.
Rin felt Al-Me had more potential for that than Ichika. Al-Me was the type who wouldn't just be a "bystander" but would end up "falling" for the NTR bull.
Kaede's camera system would have shown her exactly what was happening. She called now because she wanted Ichika to be caught.
Does Kaede have another plan? Rin messaged the "System Daughter."
Rin: [What is Kaede up to now?]
[No special plan... Mom just wanted Ichika to admit her cuckold fetish out loud to Auntie Nijika and Auntie Ryo. Just like Mom did in front of Auntie Nanami back then. Also, she wanted to see Auntie Nijika and Auntie Ryo look embarrassed.]
"Pfft..." Rin almost laughed out loud. His sudden chuckle broke the tension.
"Um..." Ichika mused for a moment, a sly smile spreading across her face. "So that's it. Nino and the others went through all that trouble for me."
She looked at them. "But... I don't actually have that fetish. I just faked it for my sisters."
"Eh? You faked it?" Nijika and Ryo looked at her in surprise. Rin raised an eyebrow. According to Kaede's plan, Ichika should have been forced to admit it. But Ichika took the third option: she came clean to the three of them!
She wasn't faking anymore! She was laying her cards on the table!
"He's just too much of a playboy. He handled Nino and the others without me knowing. But... back then, they looked at me as the 'official' girlfriend. So..." Ichika put a finger to her lips.
"I said I had a cuckold fetish just so they wouldn't feel guilty for being with him~ You have to keep it a secret from them for me, okay?~"
Kaede's plan was good—using the sisters to "train" Ichika. But Kaede didn't realize Ichika's situation was different from hers. Kaede had admitted it to make her sister Suzu feel better. Ichika's original goal was the same, but now, the sisters were already united against Kaede as a common enemy. They didn't need a "fetish" excuse to stay together anymore.
"No problem, we won't tell," Nijika promised. Ryo nodded as well.
"Thanks~ Also... Kaede seems very worried about my sex life. Tell her 'thank you' for me~" Ichika winked at Rin like a little succubus.
She didn't notice the doubt in Ryo's eyes... If you're faking, who were you "faking" for outside the door after the sisters already left?
