I'm trying to save him, so why is he bullying me?
Kei didn't have the mental energy to solve that riddle.
The lack of experience combined with Rin's relentless pace burned through her nerves until her consciousness faded.
The next morning, Kei woke up staring at the ceiling.
Beside her was the man who had taken her... no, the man she had "claimed" only yesterday.
She looked at Rin Ito with a complicated expression.
Is he... my property now?
Rin opened his eyes.
"Morning."
"G-good morning."
Kei went rigid. She didn't know what to say. She even forgot to cover her breasts.
Though not huge, they were firm and perky with small, pink nipples.
"Wow!" Realizing he was staring, she quickly covered herself, her face turning crimson.
Rin couldn't help but tease her.
"Yesterday you were a 'Queen' telling me to shut up. Why so shy today?"
"Yesterday...?"
Kei looked at the alarm clock. 9:23 AM. School had already started.
"Moeha called in sick for you. Just rest today."
"Phew..."
Kei let out a massive sigh of relief. Not because she was skipping school, but because the others were gone.
It was easier to talk to him alone.
She bit her lip and pointed to her folded clothes.
"Put... put some clothes on first!"
Once they were both dressed, Kei tried to organize her thoughts.
"Mr. Rin, sit there!"
She pointed to a chair. She stood in front of him so she wouldn't have to look up at him.
After all, she was the "Master" now.
"Yesterday... Moeha and the others 'gave' you to me." She looked away, unable to meet his eyes.
"So... I'm your Master now! You have to listen to me!"
"Master...? I didn't know you had that kink, Kei." Rin chuckled. "I thought you were a sweet girl."
"I don't mean it like that!" Kei snapped, her face burning. "I mean it literally! I won't do anything to you. This way, they won't be able to ravage you anymore."
She glanced at his lap. Even though she'd passed out halfway, she remembered the size of his "weapon."
"I don't care how good you are at sex. Being drained by four girls at once... I looked it up online! You'll become a cripple or die!"
"I see..." Rin nodded thoughtfully. "Going this far for me... do you actually like me, Kei?"
"No! I'm doing this to save Moeha and Chika-senpai!" Kei balled her fists.
"Don't you realize how bad this is? Chika-senpai has clearly had multiple abortions! If this continues, Moeha will be ruined too! You have to stop these orgies!"
Rin had suspected as much. Hearing her say it out loud confirmed it.
"Hold on, hold on." Rin grabbed her fists gently.
"Kei, what are you talking about? Abortions? Chika has never been pregnant."
"Wait... do you think she's pregnant because she's lactating? That's just a unique physical constitution she has. She's been to the hospital; she's perfectly healthy."
"You've misunderstood everything."
"Huh?"
O_O?
Kei stared at him blankly.
"Misunderstood? How? Yesterday's party wasn't fake."
"The party was real, but this 'property' thing, and Moeha 'giving' me to you... you've got the wrong idea."
"You thought I was their kept man... didn't you?"
Kei's confidence wavered. Did I get it wrong?
No. The orgy was real. Kaguya was literally 'eating dessert' in public.
"Then... what is your relationship with them? Moeha told you to donate to my stream, didn't she?"
"She gave me the link, and she reimbursed the money, yes." Rin paused. "But we're just friends. I was just helping a friend out."
Kei froze. Friends? What kind of friends have orgies?
"What exactly are you to them!?"
"Well..." Rin mused. "It's complicated. 'Friends with benefits' doesn't quite cover it... but I'm definitely not a boy toy or a kept man."
He gave her a vague summary of his history with Kaguya and the others, leaving out the most sensitive details.
Kei's lip curled.
"So... being tied up last night was just your own fetish?"
"Not a fetish, really. They wanted to try it, so I played along."
"..."
What the hell!!!!!
I completely misread the situation!!!!
Mr. Rin wasn't a slave; they were all just in a massive, depraved relationship.
She felt relieved he wasn't being used as a disposable object, but...
Wait. The logic was wrong, but the result is the same.
The result was that she had "claimed" him.
Her goal was to stop Moeha and Chika from living this lifestyle.
By making them "give" him to her, they would have to have fewer parties.
So... the result is correct! No problems here!
