Chapter 175: Shinobu is Weak, So...
Greed Island.
"Were you waiting for me?" Suyan asked, surprised as his gaze landed on the beautiful silhouette resting in the grass.
Kocho Kanae was sitting peacefully on the ground, her hands gently stroking the fur of two YukimiBotamons. The usually skittish Digimon had their eyes closed in bliss, happily curled up against the girl's legs as she groomed their snowy-white coats.
If Miyamoto Rei saw this, she would definitely be seething with jealousy. Rei had spent countless hours trying to win the YukimiBotamons over, but they simply refused to get close to her, barely tolerating being held for brief moments.
To groom them so casually like this? Only Suyan had ever managed that—not even Marikawa Shizuka could do it. Granted, Shizuka preferred having Suyan groom her rather than grooming the Digimon, but the point stood.
Yet Kanae had effortlessly accomplished what Rei couldn't. When it came to pure, maternal affinity, Kocho Kanae was absolutely EX-tier.
Seeing Suyan return, Kanae immediately stopped petting the Digimon and offered them a gentle apology. "I'm sorry, Suyan is back. Can I massage you again next time?"
Hearing this, the YukimiBotamons opened their large, round eyes and shot Kanae a look of deep dissatisfaction. However, the moment they spotted Suyan, all their annoyance vanished.
They launched themselves at Suyan faster than Kanae could even blink.
"Mi!" "Mi!"
Suyan easily caught the flying Digimon, one in each hand, seamlessly taking over Kanae's job by gently scratching behind their ears.
He then looked down at Kanae, who clearly had something on her mind. "Did you need me for something, Kanae?"
Kanae carefully scanned the area behind Suyan, and seeing that he was alone, asked, "Did Ume not come back with you?"
Suyan shook his head. He had originally intended to bring her, but Ume had refused. Having just regained her human memories, she desperately wanted some time alone to talk with her brother.
Suyan figured that since the pact was sealed, Ume was essentially a Nen Beast similar to Makomo; she literally couldn't escape even if she tried. He didn't mind giving the siblings some privacy and returned to Greed Island by himself.
However, since Nen Beasts lacked the ability to independently conjure Dimensional Gates, Ume wouldn't be able to enter Greed Island later unless Suyan or one of the other contracted girls went out to fetch her.
"I've made up my mind, Suyan," Kanae said, her eyes suddenly burning with determination after confirming they were completely alone.
"Made up your mind about what?" Suyan was lost.
Kanae pumped a tiny fist in the air. "My physical body is almost completely fully recovered."
"And?" Suyan felt like the conversation had suddenly derailed.
"Let's bully Shinobu together again tonight!"
Suyan froze. He took a long, deep breath to steady his racing thoughts, then shot the girl a deeply strange look, seriously wondering if she was joking.
"Are you seriously not afraid of Shinobu hunting you down with a Nichirin Sword?" he asked incredulously.
"Shinobu might be the Insect Hashira now, but don't forget, I was the Flower Hashira!" Kanae waved her hand, her eyes curving into mischievous crescents. "Shinobu is physically the weakest of us all. All I have to do is pin her hands down, and she won't be able to do a thing about it."
It was true that Shinobu had notoriously weak physical strength. But did she really need to exploit her own sister's weakness like that?
Suyan decided to play along. "If you do that, Shinobu is actually going to cry."
"It's Shinobu, so it's completely fine," Kanae stated matter-of-factly.
"You really are a wonderful older sister, aren't you?" Suyan deadpanned.
Kanae beamed, her eyes practically sparkling with pride, utterly ignoring Suyan's heavy sarcasm. Her expression practically screamed, I know, right?
Looking at the smug, radiant look on her face, Suyan's mouth twitched. I wasn't complimenting you! he yelled internally.
"I refuse!"
Despite how incredibly tempting Kanae's proposal was, Suyan rejected it without hesitation. He definitely wanted to experience the Kocho sisters together eventually, but doing it by mentally torturing Shinobu like this would completely shatter her mindset.
When it happened before, Kanae could excuse it by claiming she didn't know about their shared sensory link. But doing it intentionally now? Shinobu would literally bite her to death.
Would Shinobu retaliate by doing the exact same thing to Kanae later? A back-and-forth sensory war would actually be amazing, quickly leading to them both ending up in Suyan's bed at the same time.
But Suyan knew it wouldn't happen. Shinobu was petty and deeply vindictive—she had retaliated against Kanae immediately after experiencing Suyan for the first time. But she wasn't an idiot. She would never fall into an obvious, turn-based trap like that again.
"Why not?" Kanae feigned ignorance.
As the sister closest to Shinobu, Kanae obviously knew her sister's temper perfectly well. She knew Shinobu wouldn't play a turn-based game of sensory revenge.
But her goal wasn't a turn-based game.
She knew Suyan wanted double the pleasure. Kanae wasn't opposed to it either; in fact, she deeply wanted to see what kind of face her normally composed little sister would make under Suyan. So, earlier that morning, she had pitched the idea of a threesome to Shinobu.
Shinobu had nearly bashed her head in, forcing Kanae to flee into Greed Island to survive her sister's wrath.
But!
Kanae was a genius. She had quickly formulated a foolproof counter-strategy: bullying Shinobu tonight with Suyan.
This was only the surface-level bait. Because they shared senses, Shinobu would feel everything Kanae and Suyan did.
So the question was: when it started happening, would Shinobu hide in her room and suffer in silence, or would she storm over in a blind rage to physically stop them?
Kanae was betting her life on the latter. After being severely warned by Shinobu that morning, if Kanae blatantly ignored the warning and slept with Suyan anyway, Shinobu would absolutely lose her mind and break down the door to stop them.
And once Shinobu broke into the room... Kanae had plenty of ways to ensure her little sister couldn't leave.
It was a masterclass in psychological manipulation. Even if Shinobu knew it was a trap, her rage would force her to jump right in.
But Kanae deliberately kept Suyan in the dark. She wanted to give him—and Shinobu—the ultimate surprise tonight.
Without waiting for Suyan to explain his refusal, Kanae pressed her body deeply into his chest.
The YukimiBotamons squawked in protest at being squished, but Kanae ignored them, blinking up at Suyan with weaponized innocence. "Are you really sure we can't?"
Two incredibly soft mounds pressed firmly against him. Even though he had spent the entire previous night kneading them like dough into every conceivable shape, feeling their softness now instantly ignited a raging fire in his lower abdomen.
Combined with the intoxicating, floral scent radiating from Kanae's skin, it was a lethal, irresistible temptation.
It was genuinely impossible to refuse.
Suyan opened his mouth to agree, but before he could speak, Kanae leaned up. Her soft lips brushed gently against the corner of his mouth, leaving a faint, teasing trace behind.
"How about now?" Kanae whispered.
Kanae was simply too good at this. Suyan was completely and utterly caught in her web.
"Fine!" Suyan spat out the word, fully surrendering.
If Shinobu got mad, then she got mad. He didn't care anymore.
Suyan dropped the YukimiBotamons, wrapping his arms tightly around Kanae's waist. He was fully prepared to drag her off to a secluded corner of the island and take her right then and there. Since this was the Dimensional Gate transit hub, anyone could walk through at any moment.
The YukimiBotamons weren't angry about being dropped. They were used to this. Realizing what Suyan was about to do, they scrambled away as fast as their little legs could carry them, lest they end up suffering the same terrifying fate as Makomo.
(A/N: A man cannot. Or at least, a man should not.)
But just as Suyan moved in, Kanae pressed a slender white finger against his lips, gently shaking her head. "Not right now."
"At least, not yet," she added with a sly smile.
Even though pressing up against Suyan had sparked her own desires, if they went any further right now, Shinobu would instantly feel it. Besides, Shinobu had just lost her virginity last night; Kanae wanted to give her sister's body a little more time to rest.
"Then what am I supposed to do with this?" Suyan was dumbfounded. She had deliberately stoked his fire and now she was refusing to put it out?
"Do with what?" Kanae played dumb.
"I'm burning up right now!" Suyan ground out, glaring at her.
Kanae giggled, deliberately drawing out the silence until Suyan looked at her with desperate anticipation. Then she finally offered, "Should I go ask Aoi to help you relieve some stress?"
She had talked to Kanzaki Aoi recently and realized the girl wasn't actually opposed to sleeping with Suyan; she was just deeply terrified of her first time. She just needed a firm push from behind.
That was why Kanae immediately suggested Aoi instead of the socially awkward Kanao.
As for Nezuko and Mitsuri? They were currently locked in a fierce competition to see who could master Breathing Styles first before cashing in their 'reward' with Suyan.
"Forget it," Suyan waved his hand dismissively. Kanae had started this fire; there was no reason to make Aoi bear the brunt of it. Moreover, he deeply respected his contracted partners' boundaries and refused to force them into anything.
He decided he would just bottle up the frustration until tonight, and then ruthlessly unleash it all on Kanae.
"Are you sure?" Kanae purred temptingly. "I can totally convince Aoi for you~"
"I said no. Get out of here," Suyan rolled his eyes, utterly rejecting her.
"What about Kanao then?" she pressed.
Suyan glared at her viciously. "If you don't leave right now, I swear I will take you right here on the grass."
"Hehe." Kanae giggled mischievously, darting in to plant a quick peck on his lips before bolting out of his arms. "I love you the most~"
Just as she was about to step through the Dimensional Gate to return to the Butterfly Mansion, she remembered something and turned back. "Oh, right! Don't forget, we're bullying Shinobu in my room tonight!"
"Wait—" Suyan froze, calling out to stop her.
But Kanae had already vanished through the portal.
Suyan scratched his head, completely bewildered.
Wait a minute, is that what she meant by 'bullying'?
Last night, he and Shinobu had practically flaunted their intimacy while separated from Kanae by only a thin paper wall. Now Kanae wanted to do the exact same thing in reverse?
Was this some kind of twisted sisterly telepathy?
Shinobu was absolutely going to kick the door down and stop them, right?
What was he supposed to do when she barged in? Look her in the eye and say, "You came at the perfect time"?
Or...
Suyan suddenly remembered Kanae's joke from earlier: "Shinobu is physically the weakest of us all. All I have to do is pin her hands down."
Was Kanae actually planning to do that?!
Suddenly, Suyan found himself incredibly, wildly looking forward to tonight.
Driven by his soaring anticipation, night quickly fell over the world.
Suyan first brought Ume into Greed Island. While he didn't know exactly what the siblings had discussed, the moment he saw Ume's face, he knew he had completely and utterly won her heart.
As for Gyutaro, Suyan handed him over to Tamayo to assist with her research. He offered Gyutaro two choices for his future: wait until Tamayo perfected the cure, turn back into a human, and live a normal, peaceful life; or, like Yushiro in canon, choose to live out the rest of eternity as a demon.
But those were problems for the future. Suyan didn't really care.
Right now, he only cared about Kocho Kanae.
He was practically vibrating with impatience. After finishing his business with the demons, Suyan immediately warped to Kanae's room in the Butterfly Mansion.
Because they were sisters, Kanae's room was decorated very similarly to Shinobu's, though the atmosphere felt distinctly warmer and more inviting.
Not that Suyan had any intention of admiring the interior design.
He locked his eyes onto the gorgeous girl already sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting for him. He strode over.
"Shall we begin?" Suyan asked.
"Wait!" Kanae grabbed Suyan's wandering hands.
"Don't tell me you're backing out?" Suyan stared into the girl's amethyst eyes. "It's not too late to go back to Greed Island if—"
"No." Kanae shook her head.
Shinobu still didn't know about Greed Island. If they left now, how was she supposed to track them down?
Kanae looked up at him calmly. "Let me take the lead. Is that okay?"
"Sure."
That was surprising, but Suyan certainly wasn't going to complain.
Kanae leaned in and kissed him tenderly.
But after the kiss... Kanae, who had explicitly demanded to take the lead, simply sat there, doing absolutely nothing else.
That's it?
Suyan looked at her, completely speechless. He tried to take the initiative back, but Kanae firmly stopped his hands.
She simply shook her head, remaining completely silent, mentally counting down the seconds.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Suddenly, a series of violent, frantic knocks hammered against the bedroom door.
The corners of Kanae's mouth curled up into a victorious, predatory smile.
Just as expected. Having received the deliberate signal Kanae had broadcasted through their shared senses, Kocho Shinobu had fallen hook, line, and sinker into her trap.
She had arrived!
