"Oh... thank goodness, they finally made up..." Watching the three women embrace, Chika's eyes welled up with tears. Sniffling and rubbing the corners of her eyes, she was deeply moved... Although the process was a bit strange, it was wonderful that they were able to reconcile!
After a brief embrace, the three separated. Kaguya's smile was genuine, not a pretense, and Ai Hayasaka wiped the corners of her eyes.
"Ai Hayasaka... you still have something to say to Kaguya, right?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Kaguya... I'm sorry for everything. I've always been monitoring you since childhood, betraying you time and time again over these ten years. I should be the one apologizing."
"It's okay. If it wasn't you, it would have been someone else. I never realized how much you were burdened, Ai Hayasaka. It must have been so difficult for you all these years just to take care of me and fulfill my unreasonable and excessive demands..." Tears streamed down Kaguya's cheeks. "I should be the one saying sorry... I never realized your pain all this time. I'm sorry... if I had noticed earlier... I'm sorry."
"Miss Kaguya... why... why are you crying?" Kaguya's tears, the first Ai Hayasaka had seen in ten years, caused her to panic instantly. She had no experience comforting Kaguya.
"Ai Hayasaka... I'm sorry. I always made selfish demands, and you always tolerated me... but I didn't... but I didn't notice your suffering... I'm sorry, I never noticed your pain all this time, I'm sorry... if I had noticed earlier... I'm sorry."
Ai Hayasaka, unsure how to comfort Kaguya, looked pleadingly at Rin Ito and Nao beside her.
"The truth is, Ai Hayasaka has always been very afraid." Rin Ito gently stroked both Ai Hayasaka and Kaguya's hair. "Whether she was with you before or after leaving you, she was terrified. She was afraid you would hate her. She was tormented by guilt every night and couldn't sleep. The thought that Kaguya might hate her made her cry like a baby, huddled under her blanket."
Hearing Rin Ito say this, Ai Hayasaka quickly explained. "Actually... actually, your dependence on me made me very happy. And seeing your changes now..." The former Miss Kaguya seemed uninterested in everything. Now she was like a normal girl, even taking an interest in photography... Miss Kaguya liked photography? She hadn't even noticed it when she was by her side. Did he discover it after just meeting Kaguya?
So... the interest in photography must have developed after she met him. Why photography specifically? Because he gave her the camera! The young lady gained the interest because the person she liked gave her the camera.
"Although it makes me a little frustrated that he was the one who changed you, I'm still very happy..."
"Huh? Ai Hayasaka, you're... happy?" Kaguya paused. She's happy that I performed oral sex on the person she likes? Does she have a cuckold fetish!? Kaguya recalled the comics Kaede showed her. In some of them, the male protagonist was initially distressed by the cuckoldry but gradually began to enjoy it, with some even transforming into femboy traps and joining in. Ai Hayasaka didn't know she had a cuckold fetish until today, when Kaguya performed oral sex on him, and she awakened it.
Ai Hayasaka meant Kaguya's change in gaining an interest in photography. Kaguya, in her mind, thought Ai Hayasaka meant her willingness to perform oral sex on Rin Ito!
"Yes... I'm very happy. The former Miss Kaguya was like a doll, like a caged pet. Now... you are finally truly acting like a young woman."
Kaguya nodded... After all, she didn't know anything before. After Kaede's sex education, she finally understood what a girl and a woman were, learned many things she never knew, and understood what a normal girl's life was like. Most of the photos in her camera now were of normal girls and ordinary people on the street.
She didn't have romantic feelings for him, but if Ai Hayasaka had a cuckold fetish, satisfying her might not be a problem. Kaguya wasn't opposed to giving her body to Rin Ito. The Shinomiya family's education was that women were possessions, dependent on men. Now she had been handed over to Rin Ito by her father. If she could also satisfy Ai Hayasaka's fetish in the process, why not?
Ai Hayasaka's fetish wasn't Kaguya's main concern. What truly bothered Kaguya was how she was going to face Kaede later... After all, she had promised Kaede to help her steal Rin Ito from Ai Hayasaka. How was she going to explain this to her? She could only tell her directly that Ai Hayasaka and he had mutual feelings, and Ai Hayasaka wasn't using him.
After chatting with Ai Hayasaka for a while, Kaguya made an excuse to go to the restroom. She closed the door, pulled out her phone, and sat on the toilet.
Kaguya: [Kaede-san, I'm sorry.]
Kaede: [Sorry for what? Did you do anything to offend me?] Kaede was feigning ignorance. She had been watching the entire time Kaguya performed oral sex on Rin Ito via the camera system.
Kaguya: [I found out that Ai Hayasaka isn't using him; they have mutual feelings.]
Kaede's brain worked furiously on the other end. Although Kaguya performed oral sex on him, she didn't go further, and Ai Hayasaka was the same, as seen from the video Suzue sent her earlier—Ai Hayasaka had only performed oral service too.
Wait! Kaede suddenly had a flash of inspiration and quickly replied.
Kaede: [Really? I don't believe it.]
Kaguya: [It's the truth I witnessed with my own eyes. Kaede-san, you should give up.]
Kaede: [I don't believe it!!!]
Kaede: [Impossible!!! Ai Hayasaka is just using him!!!!]
Kaguya: [What will it take for you to believe me?]
Kaede: [Prove it to me! If you prove it to me, I'll believe you.]
Kaguya: [How do you want me to prove it?]
Kaede: [I want to see it with my own eyes!]
See it with my own eyes? Kaguya frowned slightly at the screen... I should have taken a picture earlier. If she had a picture, she could just send it to her.
Kaguya: [Then I'll find a chance to take some intimate photos of them for you.]
Kaede: [No, I don't want photos, I want to see it with my own eyes!]
Kaguya frowned slightly... She's a troublesome woman.
Kaguya: [Does she really need to see Ai Hayasaka get pumped full like a cream puff before she gives up?]
Kaede: [Yes! I want to see it with my own eyes.]
Kaguya thought for a moment. She remembered the NTR comics Kaede had shown her before.
Kaguya: [Then come to my house now. Hide in the closet or under the bed, and I'll find a chance to prove it to you!]
Seeing Kaguya's reply, Kaede's lips curled into a smile... Plan successful? Kaede deliberately guided the conversation this way. Her current main mission from the system was to attend a party, but she was wearing a chastity belt. She couldn't let other girls see her, his girlfriend, wearing a chastity belt. But... watching from inside the closet or under the bed counts as attending, right?
