"Kaede, is he not back yet?"
"Not yet."
Kaguya couldn't count how many times she had asked that question in the past week and a half, and Kaede couldn't count how many times she had answered Kaguya. He was her boyfriend, yet as his girlfriend, she couldn't contact him at all. She could only watch videos sent by her sister every day to see which girl her boyfriend was filling up next.
Kaede and Kaguya had been plotting every day about how to "rescue" Rin Ito from Ai Hayasaka. They had planned it countless times on paper and were just waiting to put it into practice. But... the phone calls wouldn't connect.
"Shinomya-san, you have his mobile number, don't you? Try calling him," Kaede suggested to Kaguya. Kaede knew Rin Ito and the others weren't answering her calls to indulge his "cuckolding" fetish. Normally, Kaede wouldn't care. If he wants to party, let him party.
But the system was still under maintenance! God knows if the System Store automatically redeemed 'Block-Sperm' for them? If they got pregnant...
The thought of them being pregnant sent a shiver down Kaede's spine. Although Kaede desperately wanted to remind him to use protection, he wouldn't answer her calls just to indulge his fetish... Kaede had called him countless times on social media apps these past few days, but she was resigned. And it wasn't just her; he wasn't answering Nanami's calls either.
However... he definitely wasn't ignoring everyone's calls. For example, he would certainly answer calls from the publishing house. But what about Kaguya? Kaguya wasn't one of her "blood-bound" sisters yet; maybe he would answer her call!
"Shinomya-san, you try."
"I called him before, but there was no signal there." Although Kaguya had Rin Ito's number, that was all she had. Rin Ito hadn't had time to add her to social media apps the day he bought her the phone. After trying a few times with no signal initially, Kaguya hadn't called him again.
"Just try it."
Hearing Kaede's urging, Kaguya took out the phone Rin Ito gave her and dialed his number.
"He's on the island. There's no signal there, only Wi-Fi. You have to use...." Before Kaede could finish, Rin Ito's voice came through the phone.
"Shinomya-san? Is something wrong?"
"...." Kaede's expression froze. Rin Ito previously had no signal on the island, so she always used social media apps to call. But come to think of it, the background in the videos lately had changed from the island to a bookstore, so perhaps he had already left the island.
But that wasn't the point. The point was, what did he mean by not answering his girlfriend's calls but answering another woman's call!?
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask when you'll be back."
"Did you miss me? Since you miss me, Kaguya, I'll come back tomorrow."
"...." Kaede's hands trembled slightly. You don't answer my calls, but Kaguya calls and you come back immediately, right!?
On the other end of the phone, Rin Ito, inside the bookstore, suppressed a laugh. Although Rin Ito didn't have a camera system, he could still imagine Kaede's clenched-teeth expression. In fact, the System Daughter had told Rin Ito about all the plans Kaede and Kaguya discussed daily. Rin Ito could only laugh at this.
"Alright, I'll call you back when I get there." After chatting briefly with Kaguya, Rin Ito hung up and turned his attention to Utaha and Eri Sawamura, who were typing on a computer.
It had been several days since they arrived at the bookstore. Ever since Utaha gave Eri Sawamura the novel with her signature, the two stubborn tsunderes had reconciled. "Reconciled" only meant returning to their previous state and not seeking revenge on each other anymore.
However... while they reconciled, Megumi Katou had it rough. The past few days, they had been conducting "research" in the bookstore, completing the H-Play scenes for the dating sim. And the heroine for this completion was, of course, Megumi Katou. Rin Ito had trained and developed her in various plays, even her butt. They had played out shameful scenarios like being thoroughly cleaned, then filled up in front of everyone, and then squirting.
Although it was humiliating... to be honest, Megumi Katou quite enjoyed the feeling of being the heroine. However, a dating sim usually only has about ten explicit scenes. Aside from a few perverse additions, two days were enough for Megumi Katou to experience all the H-Play scenes.
Now that the research was complete, Utaha was completing the H parts of the game, and Eri Sawamura was drawing the illustrations for those H parts, while Megumi Katou watched Eri Sawamura draw. Although the heroine in the CGs didn't resemble her at all, the thought that she was the heroine still thrilled Megumi Katou.
After glancing at Megumi Katou rubbing her legs, Rin Ito turned his attention to Karen, who was reading a novel. In her words... even plebeian entertainment has its merits.
"Speaking of which... when does your break end, Karen?" Rin Ito wasn't referring to the school holiday, which still had over two weeks left. Rin Ito was referring to Karen's personal break. As the future heir of the Onjouji family, Karen couldn't spend her vacation leisurely like an ordinary student. This week and a half was time she had squeezed out by consolidating almost two months' worth of future vacation time. Next, she would face a study hell!
"Master, I have three days left of my break~ Master, do you know how much effort I put in to squeeze out these two weeks?" Karen was saying this while flirting with Rin Ito, hoping for more rewards. "Does Master have something you need to do?"
"Hmm... Kaguya Shinomiya just called and said she needed to see me. And they're pretty much done with their research...." Hearing Kaguya Shinomiya's name, Ai Hayasaka and Nao pricked up their ears and slowly approached without making a move. Rin Ito glanced at them but didn't say anything.
"I'm planning to go back for a while..." Rin Ito looked at Utaha and Eri Sawamura next to him. "Why don't you finish the game here before returning? Otherwise, you'll just slack off when you get back."
"No problem." Utaha nodded. Besides the game, she also had the novel for her confrontation with Elf, which she could conveniently finish writing on the quiet island. Eri Sawamura also had no objection, and Megumi Katou also said she wanted to stay.
"What about you, Ami?"
"If Big Brother is going back, we'll go back too." Ami had had enough fun here these past few days. If Rin Ito wasn't around, there was no point in staying, and she had several friends who had invited her out.
Rin Ito asked the girls for their opinions. Besides Eri Sawamura, Utaha, and Megumi Katou, Elf and little Hitori also decided to stay. Elf planned to finish her novel here. As for little Hitori... Since I'm just playing the guitar alone, it doesn't matter where I play. Besides, posting pictures of the seaside online every day allowed her to continue pretending to be a normie!
