Knock, knock, knock...
"I'm coming in. Mmm... give me a hand."
Less than ten seconds after the tapping on the glass, Kaede climbed in through the window. She had already showered and was wearing light loungewear that exposed plenty of her soft, bouncy thigh skin.
After Rin helped her into the room, Kaede looked around and clicked her tongue in mock disappointment.
"What? If you were hoping to find someone, I can call Nanami over."
"Hehe..."
Kaede snorted and sat on the bed, crossing her legs. The camera system isn't on, so of course I know the room is empty. I'm just acting disappointed to see if I can trick you.
You were fooled so easily. My acting is definitely better than Ichika's!
But she wasn't here just to show off her acting skills.
"Are you free this weekend? No dates with that little girl?"
After saying that, Kaede felt a bit aggrieved... I'm the official girlfriend, but I have to ask if he's dating other girls on the weekend just to see him.
Rin pulled her into his arms and gave her a kiss.
"Hmph..."
Kissing me with the same mouth that kissed other girls today... hugging me with the hands that fingered others... Thinking of this, Kaede felt a warm current surge within her.
But... no!
She couldn't continue.
In Kaede's phone, there was a group called [The Cuckolded Alliance]. Currently, the members were Kaede (the leader), Ichika, and Marin.
Kaede had made a pact with them: no one could have intimate contact with Rin until the next party.
Even if they broke the rule, the others wouldn't find out. But... the longer you restrain yourself, the better the eventual release. Kaede, who spent her time watching them through cameras while edging, knew this better than anyone.
"If you want it, go find Suzu..."
Gently pushing Rin away, Kaede wiped her mouth and composed herself to talk business.
"About this afternoon..."
Morning, school break.
"Saki, want to have lunch today? Bring Sayu along."
While Kei was testing Rin's limits, Kaede was arranging a lunch date with Saki Yoshida. But Kaede was mostly doing it for Sayu.
It wasn't that Kaede had an ulterior motive for Sayu; she just couldn't stand seeing the girl so lonely. She wanted to help Sayu "transform" into a more cheerful person who could make friends, just like she had helped Saki.
That was just Kaede's personality. If she wasn't like that, she wouldn't have tried to join the Student Council or compete with Karen for the presidency. But... the school was funded by Karen's family.
She had lost to big capital!
However, what she lost at school, she could win back at a party.
"Ah... okay, I'll tell Sayu."
Saki pulled out her phone to message Sayu. On the other end, Sayu looked conflicted. After a long wait, she replied to Saki.
Sayu: [Two of my classmates want to join too. Is that okay?]
Saki showed the message to Kaede. Seeing the text, Kaede raised an eyebrow... Sayu barely had anyone in her class to talk to before. She usually eats alone. Why does she suddenly have two friends?
"Two friends? No problem. Let's still meet on the roof."
Though suspicious, Kaede was happy. If Sayu could make friends on her own, Kaede wouldn't have to do as much work.
At lunch, Kaede and Saki took their bento boxes to the rooftop. Just as they sat down by the wire fence at the edge, Sayu appeared with her two friends.
Before Sayu could introduce them, a petite girl stepped forward familiarly.
"Yoo-hoo~ You must be Saki-senpai and Kaede-senpai! I'm Momoko Suzuki, a freshman. Nice to meet you~"
Kaede scanned Momoko from top to bottom.
Momoko Suzuki was a girl with long pink hair, just like her name suggested. Her hair was tied into energetic twin tails with star-shaped bands.
Unlike Sayu, who filled out her uniform impressively, Momoko's petite frame only created a delicate curve in her shirt. Compared to her chest, her legs—clad in black pantyhose under her skirt—were the highlight. Rin would definitely enjoy bullying her flat chest.
Hiss... why am I looking at Momoko through his perverted lens!?
Kaede shook her head and looked at the girl beside Momoko. Kaede didn't know the freshman, but she had seen the other girl many times.
Noticing Kaede's gaze, the girl spoke up.
"Sumire Enase."
"Oh, so you're Sumire Enase... I've seen you around Karen quite a bit." Kaede nodded with a smile, observing her.
Beside Kaede, Saki Yoshida swallowed nervously.
Wh-why is one of Miss Okiura's people with Sayu? Is she being bullied? Is Sayu being targeted?
What do I do? What if this gets Kaede in trouble?
Setting Momoko aside, Sumire Enase—one of Karen's lackeys—being here made Saki instinctively anxious.
After all, the last time Saki and Kaede went to find Sayu, they had been barked at by Karen's followers. It was easy for Saki to associate this with bullying, especially since she had tasted it herself in middle school.
It wasn't as bad as the movies where desks were covered in slurs, but it still hurt. She shot a pleading look at Kaede.
Kaede, however, seemed perfectly fine.
If an outcast like Sayu suddenly appeared with a clique, any other person would think she was being bullied.
But Sumire was Karen's follower. Kaede assumed Karen had sent her... after all, Karen was a massive tsundere.
Kaede had experienced Karen's tsundere nature first-hand. Karen would rather secretly tell a shop manager to take care of her than actually be nice to her face.
Seeing Sayu so lonely, it wasn't hard to imagine Karen ordering a lackey to go make friends with her.
"Sit, sit! Let me see what kind of lunch a rich girl brings~"
Kaede enthusiastically pulled Momoko and Sumire down to sit. They didn't refuse. While Kaede was observing Sumire, Sumire was also observing her and Saki.
Never mind Momoko. Even though I'm usually right by Miss Okiura's side, Kaede is still so warm toward me... she doesn't seem to view me as an enemy at all.
She looks... very easy to trick.
My targets were just Sayu and Momoko, but if Hoshizuki-san is this naive, pulling her down into depravity wouldn't be impossible. If she falls on her own, Miss Okiura can't say much. Miss Okiura has seen plenty of girls fall... one more won't hurt.
The strong, serious Hoshizuki-san will look so cute once she's corrupted~
