"So that's the gist of it... Enase-san and Suzuki-san said they want to have a mixer this weekend and asked if we want to go. She even told Sayu to bring her two childhood friends."
Kaede gave Rin a summary of the lunch meeting. Originally, Sumire only wanted to invite Sayu and Momoko. Upon hearing that Kaede had a boyfriend and Sayu had two close childhood friends, she invited everyone.
In her words: "The more people at a mixer, the more fun it is."
"So? Will you go with me? Sumire is one of Karen's followers... Karen is probably being tsundere again, wanting to help Sayu without looking like she cares."
"I can go..." Rin looked Kaede up and down, his eyes finally landing on her own, which were too guilty to meet his.
"You aren't planning on having me hit on girls at this mixer, are you?"
"Ha? Y-you... you... mmm."
Kaede instinctively wanted to deny it, but remembering her persona, she nodded.
Rin thought for a moment. His only plan for the weekend was taking Eriri and the others to see the studio and having a small celebration.
Besides that, there was Mashiro's manga. Rin had asked Akane Kosaka to help find an editor, but Akane was still busy with her company after being discharged and hadn't replied yet.
"Fine."
"I'm heading back then." Kaede didn't linger and climbed back out. If she stayed too long, she might break the pact with Ichika and the others.
Rin didn't think much of the mixer. It would likely just be singing at a KTV and then dinner.
After Kaede left, Rin sat at his computer to continue the doorplate design. Before he could draw two lines, there was another tap on the window.
This time it was Suzu. Once inside, she expertly sat on Rin's lap, her plump rear rubbing against him through her thin shorts and panties.
"You guys didn't do it?"
"It's only been a few minutes. Not that fast." Rin wrapped his arm around Suzu's waist. "Are you horny?"
"Kaede is such a weakling, she probably wouldn't last a minute anyway." Suzu wiggled out of his arms and stood up. "Kaede told you about the mixer, right?"
"Yeah. What's up?" Rin looked at her curiously. "Why are you two coming one by one for a mixer?"
"Kaede thinks Karen told her lackeys to help Sayu. But I asked Karen. It wasn't her order." Suzu paused. "Karen isn't being tsundere this time."
"It's not?"
"No."
Rin furrowed his brows.
He hadn't met Karen's followers, but he'd heard about them from Kaede. Mostly children of families trying to suck up to the Okiura Group.
If it wasn't Karen's order, why would they be interested in a gloomy girl like Sayu? Though suspicious, Rin didn't stress over it.
Sumire Enase was Sayu's classmate. Sayu was a loner, but there was no rule saying a rich girl couldn't befriend an outcast.
After all, Karen liked being Rin's dog. Rich people had weird hobbies.
"I'll keep an eye out."
"Mmm." Suzu blinked. "You and Kaede really didn't do it?"
"We didn't. Why are you so obsessed with that?"
"Kaede is actually keeping the promise..." Suzu muttered under her breath.
"Promise?" Rin patted Suzu's head. "What promise?"
"Kaede, Ichika, and Marin agreed to have an NTR party. They swore abstinence until it starts." Suzu looked at Rin seriously. "It seems Kaede is taking it seriously."
"...?"
Rin was speechless.
He knew about the NTR party—it was Kaede's main quest. But Marin?
Even though Rin had the System Daughter as a mole, she didn't report every tiny detail.
Unless Rin asked, she usually kept quiet. In her words, it was about "fate." If Rin asked, fate had arrived.
"I get Kaede and Ichika. But Marin has that kink too?"
Rin knew Kaede had the NTR Radar, but he hadn't expected Marin to be on it.
He tried to recall. He didn't remember every detail of the My Dress-Up Darling anime, but it was a pure romance series, not a "stomach-churning" drama or hentai.
Why would the heroine have that kind of interest? It wasn't like Rent-A-Girlfriend.
"I don't know the specifics. I found their group chat when I peeked at Kaede's phone. It was created last Sunday." Suzu looked at Rin expectantly.
"Fine. I got it. I'll let you know if I have a plan."
"Mmm." Suzu nodded and climbed back to her room.
After she left, Rin opened the system. Sure enough, the "Netori Value" had been added to the character cards.
Hiss... -43? Marin has that value? She's about the same as Ichika. How did a pure romance girl get this kink? I never noticed it before.
Hinata and Saya were obvious, but Rin hadn't expected the quiet Saya to be -93 while Hinata was only -72.
Both had cuckold fetishes, but Saya's "condition" was clearly more severe than Hinata's.
Nanami and Mashiro were Pure Love Warriors. Normal.
Fairy was 100!? Has she turned into a literal cuckold demon?
Eriri was -17 and Karen was -19. As expected, masochists all have a bit of a cuckold lean.
Utaha was -7. Even the dominant Utaha had a tiny bit. But -7 was within the "normal person" range, just a slight curiosity.
Likely from writing so many heart-wrenching romance novels and self-inserting.
Megumi Kato... 93?
When did she become a cuckold bull? (Positive value = desire to cuck others).
Rin scrolled through the cards with interest. Kaede had been at school all week, so she'd scanned all the girls there.
He looked through the ones he'd been intimate with, all the way to the last one... Saki Yoshida.
-73!?
Her "poisoning" level was about the same as Hinata's? A 70-level value was quite extreme. No wonder Kaede had been mentioning her so much lately.
However, Hinata, Saya, and Saki weren't in the group chat. Only Kaede, Ichika, and Marin were in [The Cuckolded Alliance].
Saki could be explained by the fact she hadn't been to a party yet. Since the other two weren't in the chat either, there was only one possibility: Kaede was planning to deeply develop the fetishes of Ichika and Marin specifically!
