"!!!!"
The closet door swung open. The sudden light and the splash of hot rain made Hatsune's brain tremble, her consciousness turning completely blank. Even her breathing and heartbeat seemed to stop.
Faced with Hatsune, Sakiko was equally mortified to the point of a mental freeze, instinctively covering her cheeks with both hands. Even after several parties, she retained her sense of shame; she had only cast it aside temporarily for stress relief, just like Karen.
She was still the exact same Sakiko Toyokawa that Hatsune knew.
However, Rin Ito didn't halt his rhythm. Under the drenching of the hot rain, Hatsune quickly realized exactly what was happening.
I've been caught.
Caught by Sakiko.
My life... is over.
Sakiko will never allow a freak like me to stay by her side.
I am... alone again.
"Hatsune..."
"!!!!"
Hearing her true name escape from Sakiko's lips.
Hatsune shuddered, then deeply lowered her head. She didn't even have the mental capacity to wonder if Rin Ito had exposed her identity. She just hung her head and frantically denied it, fat tears spilling continuously from her eyes.
"No... I... I'm not..."
Rin Ito knelt down onto the floor, allowing Sakiko—who had been held in mid-air—to rest her knees on the carpet so she could be at the same height as Hatsune.
Fighting through the intense shame, Sakiko released her hands from her face and gently embraced Hatsune.
"I'm sorry. I never noticed your pain."
"I... I..."
Hatsune clung tightly to Sakiko. Her emotions completely shattered, she gripped Sakiko's back, letting her tears stream down onto Sakiko's shoulder.
Though the grip was painful, Sakiko merely furrowed her brows and endured... Her first time had been far more painful than this. She gently stroked Hatsune's back to soothe her raging emotions.
As Hatsune vented her shattered feelings, a fresh wave of terror followed.
Terror of the unknown, terror of the future.
Simultaneously... she noticed that while she was holding Sakiko and crying, Rin Ito was still ruthlessly fucking her beloved Sakiko!
Seeing Hatsune's hesitant, conflicted look, Rin Ito delivered a heavy thrust, causing Sakiko to let out an amorous moan that forced Hatsune's attention back onto him.
"G-Go easier... on Sakiko."
Rin Ito nearly burst out laughing. "You aren't asking if I exposed your identity to Sakiko, but you're telling me to go easier on her?"
"...."
"I wasn't the one who told Sakiko. It was her grandfather who told her."
"It... it doesn't matter who said it anymore. Sakiko, I'm... I'm sorry." Lowering her eyes, Hatsune spoke in a trembling voice. "I..... I won't appear in front of you ever again..... Sakiko?"
Sakiko held Hatsune even tighter.
"You lied to me, but I failed to notice your suffering either, so we're even." Sakiko's voice was gentle like an angel's, making Hatsune weep once more.
"Uika is Uika, and Hatsune is Hatsune. The person who joined the band with me isn't Uika, but you, Hatsune. The person I am holding in my arms right now isn't Uika, but you, Hatsune."
Hatsune: "Even... even if I counterfeited Uika, it's fine?"
Sakiko: "It's fine. The memories we shared are real, Hatsune."
Hatsune: "Even if I... even if I pressed your underwear against my face to huff your scent while masturbating, it's fine?"
Sakiko: "I-It's fine..."
Hatsune: "Even if I used my tongue to lick it clean, it's fine?"
Sakiko: "It's fine~..."
Hatsune: "Even if I put them in my mouth, it's fine?"
Sakiko: "It's fine..."
Hatsune: "Even... even if I love you, yet watching you with him makes me excited... is that really fine too?"
Sakiko's lip twitched... Although she had heard Rin Ito say this before, hearing Hatsune admit it aloud still made it hard to keep a straight face.
But this was just the appetizer. Hatsune continuously spilled the perverted desires of her heart, as if trying to make Sakiko hate her. Yet no matter how depraved the thought, Sakiko met each one with a gentle 'it's fine,' wrapping them all in her total acceptance.
In Sakiko's view, Hatsune turning into such a freak was first and foremost the fault of her grandfather, Teiji Toyokawa, and secondly, her own failure to notice Hatsune's suffering. Hatsune was merely a victim.
The Toyokawa family had repressed her from childhood until now. As the future head of the dynasty, she would take responsibility.
At the very least... she would ensure Hatsune didn't have to repress herself so heavily anymore.
"Ev... Even if you love huffing my intimate clothing while masturbating, even if you... lick it clean, even if you like hiding in a closet to pleasure yourself... y... you are still Hatsune, one of my b... best friends."
"A band is a community of shared destiny... No matter what kind of person you are, Hatsune, even if you're a total pervert, it doesn't matter. You are still the girl who watched the stars with me on the island."
At this moment, Sakiko was exactly like the gentle 'White Moonlight' from Soyo and the others' memories.
Gentle, kind, all-accepting, while carrying a tiny dash of chuunibyou.
"Hatsune... you are forever my family. So... if you like my underwear, I can give them to you." Sakiko paused, shyly lowering her eyes. "B... But... that's the absolute limit, you know. Anything further is forbidden... yaah~~"
Amidst Sakiko's cry of surprise, Rin Ito scooped her up once more, looking down at Hatsune in the closet with a playful grin.
"Sakiko has said her piece. Within the boundaries of her permission, you can do whatever you want."
"Mmh..."
Sakiko offered a soft, quiet whisper of agreement, fighting through her shame to lock eyes with Hatsune.
"Show me... your true, authentic self. Show me the side that belongs to Hatsune Triangle right before my eyes~"
Gulp...
Hatsune instinctively swallowed.
"Do what I... want to do... Show the side belonging to Hatsune Triangle... to..."
Hatsune's gaze slowly drifted down to the floor.
Drip, drop. Drip, drop.
The mixed fluids of male and female desire dripped onto the carpet with their rhythmic movements. Trembling, Hatsune leaned down and slowly extended the tip of her tongue.
"Mmm..."
Her tongue, coated in their combined fluids, rolled inside her mouth as she carefully savored the taste. Then, she leaned down further, licking up the fallen drops bit by bit.
Sensing a drop land on the crown of her head, Hatsune lifted her face, which was twisted into an ecstatic smile, and extended her tongue to catch more of the hot rain.
"Nnngh!!!!" Sakiko covered her face with both hands, refusing to meet Hatsune's gaze, while Rin Ito playfully tossed Sakiko a few inches into the air and let her drop heavily.
Letting more of the hot rain drench Hatsune's face.
...
"I... I'll go wash up with Mutsumi first."
The party concluded.
A blushing Sakiko shot Rin Ito a final look before grabbing her bathrobe and bolting for the bathroom. Mutsumi headed to the other bathroom, leaving only Rin Ito and Hatsune in the bedroom.
Hatsune sat on the edge of the bed, listening to the rushing water from the bathroom in a daze. Her mind was trapped in the loop of everything that had just occurred. It all felt like a dream.
Just how many perverted things did I just do right in front of Sakiko!!!!
My brain is trembling!!!!
