Rin Ito: [I've already seen quite a few discussions about you girls under the Comiket hashtag. Don't rush to post the Comiket vlog just yet. Let the hype build up for another day, and post the video tomorrow.]
Yotsuba: [Understood!]
Yotsuba: [Replying with utmost seriousness!]
Nino: [Idiot.]
While waiting in line, Rin Ito tagged the quintuplets in their group chat, teaching them how to build hype.
Of course, this wasn't the standard speedrun formula of [Hello everyone, I am [Name]], [I got cyberbullied], [I have depression], [I'm quitting the internet], [I'm back], [What I did during the months I quit the internet], [Try not to laugh challenge], and [I've picked out some great products for you guys].
They weren't trying to make a quick, dirty buck. They wanted to earn some decent money while slowly building a loyal fanbase and solid reputation. What Ichika needed was exposure and recognition, not hawking cheap products for a quick cash grab.
Watching Rin Ito chatting with them, a smile occasionally gracing his lips like a man in love, Kaede felt a sour twinge of jealousy in her heart...
Kaede's current feelings were incredibly bizarre... Watching Rin Ito make love to other girls made Kaede jealous, and it made her wet, but she still wanted to watch him relentlessly pound other girls.
The harder Rin Ito pounded other girls, the more aroused she got, as if she were the one being pounded.
Like last night, watching Rin Ito toy with Utaha's highly desirable body until Utaha curled her toes tightly and twitched slightly, Kaede felt like a broken faucet that wouldn't stop running. If her system-daughter hadn't forcefully kept her edged, Kaede felt she would have climaxed even more times than Utaha.
If she hadn't redeemed condoms from the system, he would have already impregnated other girls. Yet, being by his side and watching him care for other girls still made her jealous... It was a very strange feeling.
Kaede herself didn't understand why she felt this way.
Anyway... it was all the system's fault!
Thinking of this, Kaede pressed her hand over Rin Ito's phone.
"Y-You promised to spend time with us today!"
"Alright, alright..." Rin Ito smiled mischievously and slipped his phone back into his pocket. "So, we're not talking about other girls today?"
"W-Well... we can talk about them." Kaede lowered her gaze, guiltily averting her eyes. "F-For example, talking about last night is... is fine too."
"..." Beside them, Suzu hesitated to speak. She had originally thought her deeply cuckold-obsessed sister was finally saved, but... it turned out to be an NTR reporting play.
This kind of play is quite common in doujinshi. To satisfy Kaede's cuckold fetish while trying to limit the people 'cucking' Kaede to just herself, Suzu had studied quite a lot about it.
Usually, it involves the heroine spending the night with a 'blonde delinquent' to satisfy the cuckold husband's fetish, and then returning the next day with a bulging condom to give the husband a detailed report of everything that happened the night before.
Doing this kind of play at home is one thing, but listening to it outside with so many people around!?
Through the camera system, Kaede actually knew exactly what happened between Rin Ito and the girls last night. She even remembered exactly how many times he had filled them up and how many times he had finished in their mouths.
It wasn't that Kaede wanted to memorize these things. The system mischievously added Q&A segments from time to time; correct answers earned rewards, while wrong answers resulted in punishments... Besides that, it would sometimes ask specific questions about the sex positions used.
This forced Kaede to observe everything intently... It's absolutely not because I want to watch! I'm only watching so closely so the system doesn't punish me and take away my hard-earned enhancement points!
However, compared to the footage from the camera system, hearing it straight from Rin Ito's mouth had a unique flavor of its own.
Normally, Rin Ito wouldn't mind, but right now... Rin Ito casually glanced at the people lined up around them. He had absolutely zero interest in talking about these things in front of others.
Rin Ito shot Suzu a look. Although they hadn't communicated beforehand, Rin Ito knew Suzu was definitely prepared.
Suzu took her earphones out of her pocket, placed them in Kaede's ears, and started playing an AI-synthesized audio of Rin Ito confessing his love to her.
This wasn't synthesized by Suzu; it was synthesized by Kaede herself. In the past, Kaede would secretly use these audios as masturbation material at home.
"Suzu? What are you doing?"
Kaede looked at Suzu in confusion. She had listened to these audios no less than a hundred times and could practically recite them backwards. Kaede couldn't understand why Suzu was suddenly making her listen to them.
Expressionless, Suzu didn't answer but continued her actions. She pulled a pair of noise-canceling headphones from her backpack and placed them over Kaede's head.
Even though they were in a noisy line, Kaede could only hear the audio and nothing else.
"Shh." Suzu made a 'shush' gesture, then took out her phone and typed a message for Kaede to read.
[You are not allowed to take them off.]
[This is part of the play.]
Suzu had long anticipated that her hopelessly cuckold-obsessed sister would want to play an NTR game at Comiket. To satisfy Kaede's perverted cuckold desires in a public place, Suzu had prepared in advance.
Kaede and Suzu had played this kind of game at home before, but obviously, they couldn't do it in public.
So, Suzu made some modifications to the play. Instead of blindfolding Kaede, she blocked her ears, allowing Kaede to see but not hear. This turned it into a play of: [My boyfriend is happily chatting with another girl right next to me, but as his girlfriend, I have no idea what they're saying.]
The important part wasn't what Suzu and Rin Ito were actually talking about, but what Kaede imagined they were talking about.
Suzu quietly explained the play to Rin Ito, then hooked her arm through his, completely taking over the 'girlfriend' ecological niche.
Suzu completely dropped her usual expressionless demeanor. With a smile on her lips and her eyes locked affectionately onto Rin Ito, she started talking to him. But right now, Kaede couldn't hear a single thing.
While talking, Suzu occasionally cast glances at Kaede to ensure she was still wearing the headphones and couldn't hear anything.
Guh... what are they talking about!
Right! Hmph... does Suzu think that just by using earbuds playing audio and noise-canceling headphones on top, I won't be able to hear anything?
System!
Suzu is already pressing her side-boob against his arm! Quickly, turn on the camera system!
[The host is right beside him. There is no need for the camera system.]
...?
System, you bastard! Normally when I hide in the closet to watch, you turn the camera system on. Why can't I turn it on today!?
[System energy is extremely precious. Please do not waste system energy, host.]
"..."
The corner of Kaede's mouth twitched... It's on purpose. This system is definitely doing this on purpose!
I can sense deep malice coming from this inorganic female voice!!!!
But... isn't this system a bit too human-like?
Kaede had noticed this before. The system wasn't as rigid as its voice suggested; in fact, it was quite flexible.
It was just like...
Right! Just like Suzu when she used to tease me when we were little!
But... this is probably just my illusion.
