"Five minutes remaining."
As the seconds ticked away, Soyo's initial disgust had transformed into a frantic focus. Her movements were becoming more aggressive as she desperate sought a result.
But without even theoretical knowledge, guided only by Mortis's brief prompts, thirty minutes was...
Impossible. Completely impossible.
Soyo didn't know what a man's "pre-climax" state looked like, but seeing Rin's relaxed, effortless expression, she knew she wasn't even close.
"This isn't working. Mutsumi, help her out."
"!???"
Soyo tried to object, but her mouth was full.
Mortis didn't step in to join the act as Soyo expected. Instead, she reached out and grabbed the back of Soyo's head.
"Mmph?"
Before Soyo could process the movement, Mortis ruthlessly shoved her head down. The sudden intrusion deep into her throat triggered an instant gag reflex. Soyo tried to pull back to breathe, but Mortis pinned her in place.
"GUH... Gag!!!"
Mutsumi: [Is this... okay?]
Watching Soyo's suffering, the gentle Mutsumi felt a twinge of worry. But Mortis had no intention of letting her off.
Soyo had been "kind" to Mutsumi, sure. She was her only friend at Tsukinomori besides Sakiko. But since the breakup, Soyo had put immense pressure on Mutsumi just to get to Sakiko.
Mutsumi was weak and soft; Mortis was childish and held a grudge.
Mortis: [Why wouldn't it be? He was much meaner to us last night.]
Mortis: [And even though her body is suffering, her heart is probably loving every second of this 'sacrifice.']
Rin used his memories to deduce Soyo's psyche; Mortis used her hyper-observation. She could see the "Mother" role was a mask, and she knew exactly why Soyo wanted Crychic back.
Mortis explained the basics to Mutsumi. As the person with the most severe mental issues in the room, Soyo's "little schemes" were child's play to her.
"10... 9... 8..."
"GUH... Gag... Cough cough cough!!!!"
As the time ran out, Rin's countdown merged with the sounds of Soyo's struggle. She no longer had the capacity to care about the timer.
Her eyes were starting to roll back from the forced deep-throating. She didn't know how to breathe through her nose during the act, and the oxygen deprivation made her vision swim. Her hands, which had been squeezing her breasts, now death-gripped the edge of the sofa to keep from collapsing.
Mortis could see that Rin was nowhere near the limit. Maybe if she had started shoving Soyo's head down from the start, they would have had a chance. But starting in the final minutes was too late.
"Time's up. Regrettably, Miss Nagasaki, you failed to show your sincerity."
As the timer hit zero, Mortis finally released her grip.
A dazed Soyo fell backward, leaning against the coffee table as she gasped for air, greedily inhaling to soothe her bruised, aching throat.
"I guess... I can't sign them..."
"Please... please let me try again! This time for sure... I'll show you my sincerity!" A recovered Soyo scrambled back to Rin, opening her mouth to try again.
But Mortis blocked her path. She put on a timid, soft, "frightened-but-brave" act.
"I... I'll do it. Let me show sincerity on Soyo's behalf."
Hiss... Mortis really was a pro at this.
Rin knew they were going to sign the band regardless, but it couldn't be too easy. He had intended to have Mutsumi "save" Soyo, but Mortis had anticipated him.
Highlighting a comrade's "pain" made Soyo's sense of sacrifice even more profound. The more Mutsumi "suffered," the more Soyo felt her own presence was vital.
Tonight was supposedly about Soyo, but in reality, it was a play performed by Rin and Mortis for Soyo's benefit.
Soyo was the one being satisfied. Soyo was the one whose hollow heart was being filled.
"Fine. However..." Rin stood up and grabbed a length of red silk rope and a ball gag from his bag. He tied Soyo to a chair and buckled the gag over her mouth. "To make sure Miss Nagasaki doesn't interrupt, we'll have to keep you restricted for a moment."
Rin sat back on the sofa, angling himself so Soyo had a front-row seat to the performance. Mortis opened her mouth and took him in.
Though she had practiced last night, her technique was still rough. But Mortis didn't need tenderness; she needed brutality.
"GUH... Gag... Cough."
Rin held Mortis's head, using her mouth as a human fleshlight. Being used this way was her new reason for being. It was uncomfortable, but it made her happy. As long as Rin was rough, and as long as Mutsumi couldn't handle it, Mortis was secure.
Watching Mortis's pained expressions, the bound Soyo whimpered and struggled, but Rin ignored her, focusing entirely on his "Mortis-brand" toy.
Soyo's earlier efforts had pushed the "progress bar" past the halfway point. It didn't take long before Rin pressed Mortis's head down for the final time.
"MMMPH... Cough cough cough!!!!"
A massive amount of fluid was pumped directly into Mortis's throat. Unused to the volume, she choked violently, some of the fluid even spraying out of her nose.
Looking at the pitiful state of her friend, Soyo thrashed in her chair, wanting to take her place. But tied and gagged, she could only watch like an incompetent husband.
Mortis caught Soyo's eye and let out a tiny, invisible smirk. Plan success!
Ignoring Soyo, Rin decided to step up the "brutality" for Mortis's benefit.
He hiked up her Tsukinomori skirt and slid off her plain white panties, exposing her petite, porcelain rear to Soyo's eyes.
Then...
SLAP!
Rin's palm landed hard on Mortis's ass, leaving a bright red handprint.
It was firm, pert, and felt incredible to strike.
He didn't stop at one. Soon, the petite buttocks were a uniform shade of angry red. Mortis let out a series of sharp, pained cries.
She wasn't like Karen—she didn't turn pain into pleasure naturally—but Rin knew how to pace himself. It looked brutal to Soyo, but it wasn't actually causing injury.
After one final slap, Rin drove himself into her. He lifted her small frame into the air, using her ruthlessly as a living doll. Her white-socked feet dangled, toes curled tight as she took the impact.
Rin shot a cold glance at Soyo.
"If you want them to get that contract, you'd better endure watching this!"
"MMPH-EEEEE-IIIIII!!!!"
