Upon hearing Keiko's words, Shino froze in place and turned to look at her companions with a trace of panic in her eyes—something didn't feel right, especially since it seemed like Ryuko was inside. At that moment, Chatora placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder and spoke with a comforting smile.
"Go ahead. But remember, no matter what happens, we're on your side."
"Thank you…"
Hearing Chatora's words, Shino replied in a low voice, then took a deep breath, almost as if preparing herself for a life-or-death battle. Just then, Tomoko hugged her tightly and whispered with quiet determination.
"Let me come with you. Even if there are still things to work through, I want to be part of this too."
Though a bit surprised, Shino was already aware of Tomoko's intentions toward her man—and she was fine with it. Tomoko was her lifelong friend, and her Kai had enough love for all of them. Even with the relationship they had, he continued to support everyone with great dedication and without favoritism. So the only real difference would be in bed, where they were fully aware that even the three of them working together still couldn't satisfy their man.
Most likely due to his insane training, Kai was a true monster with seemingly endless stamina. No matter what they did, in the end, the three of them always ended up as trembling, soaked messes, while he didn't even seem to have broken a sweat—completely ready for more. Yet, worried about hurting them, he would always bathe and tuck them in with extreme care before going to sleep still wanting more, something that filled them with guilt and regret.
Therefore, the idea of another grown woman joining their crusade to satisfy their man was actually more than welcome to all of them. Besides, Shino couldn't deny she was dying to see what her friend was like in bed—a small voyeuristic fetish that had recently awakened in her. Touching herself while watching her sisters get ravished had a rather addictive charm.
"You don't have to do it… if it's for what we think it is, it's better if Ryuko and I speak to them first. Don't get me wrong—I'm totally on board with you joining, and I'm sure the others are too. But let's talk to Kai first. Let's do this the right way."
"… Alright, I understand…"
Tomoko replied in a soft and downcast voice—a stark contrast to her usual cheerful and energetic demeanor. This made Shino bite her lower lip with hesitation, wanting to tell her friend to come in with her, that it didn't matter.
But in the end, she remained silent. She valued the relationship deeply, and unless it was unavoidable, she wanted to follow the rules. And no rule was more important than the unanimous acceptance of everyone before someone new joined.
"… See you later."
After taking a couple of deep breaths, Shino made her way to the door and quietly said her goodbyes, to which Chatora and Tomoko nodded. But the moment Shino opened the door, they caught a glimpse of the room's interior—and saw that Nejire and Momo were also inside, which caused their suspicions to solidify.
Once offering a casual greeting to the two mother-daughter pairs, Chatora and Tomoko headed toward Tomoko's room. It was practically an unspoken rule in the family not to disturb Kai while he was in his workshop—and although they were eager to see him, they could wait a few more hours.
...
...
…
After Tomoko and Chatora left, Shino closed the door to the room. Seeing Ryuko sitting on a chair, she quickly pulled one up for herself, sitting beside her sister as they faced the two mothers. At that moment, Keiko spoke in a serious tone, staring them straight in the eyes.
"Today, Kai told us about your 'relationship'… You took advantage of him. You manipulated him to fulfill your strange fantasies without caring in the slightest about his feelings."
Upon hearing her mother's words, Momo looked up in shock—the contrast from their earlier conversation was staggering—prompting the beautiful girl to speak in mild panic.
"Wait, Mom, no—"
"Stay quiet for now, Momo. While I'm willing to be more understanding with you, it's different with them. They're adults—fully aware of many things, including the fact that what they did was a crime. Besides, we all know Kai. The concept of a romantic relationship didn't even exist in his vocabulary, and I'm certain it was you two who changed that just to fulfill your twisted fetishes."
Keiko quickly replied in a firm tone, silencing Momo. Even though she knew she was being a hypocrite—since she herself harbored the same impure desires—her goal at this moment wasn't just to criticize them. She wanted to confront them to find out what the real intentions of these traitors were.
After all, even if she wasn't much better—having done what she did just a few hours ago—at the very least, she could be sure of her feelings and intentions: to love, protect, and support her Kai with all her being. That was why she had never dared take a step forward and kept her desires locked away as mere impossible fantasies. But those women were different—they let themselves be overtaken by lust, and that worried her.
If all those women cared about was satisfying their desires, then it wouldn't be hard to imagine them betraying Kai one day. And that, without a doubt, would devastate him—especially considering how sensitive he was to even the mention of betrayal. That's why, even if Kai defended them with everything he had, she would do everything in her power to uncover their true intentions. They would have to kill her before she let anyone hurt her Kai.
"Keiko, while I understand your anger and I know what we did is wrong on many levels and could ruin our careers or even our lives, we didn't do it to satisfy 'strange fetishes', as you said. We love Kai from the bottom of our hearts—that's why we did what we did. And believe me, we're willing to face all the consequences that come with it."
Shino replied with a serious tone, just as Yumiko seemed about to speak. But before she could, a soft knock came at the door, followed quickly by a calm and composed voice that they immediately recognized as Nemuri's.
"I'm coming in—I hope you don't mind."
When the voice faded, the room's door opened, revealing Nemuri on the other side dressed in her hero costume. Upon noticing the entire group inside, she quickly closed the door behind her and stepped forward with resolve, standing right in front of Shino and Ryuko as if shielding them from the pair of fierce mothers. That was when Nemuri spoke solemnly.
"I suppose you already know about our situation with Kai."
"Yes, and we were planning to speak with you about it as well. Did your perversion not spare even the boy you raised?"
Yumiko quickly responded in a cold voice, making Nejire and Momo even more nervous. They wanted to speak, but at that moment, they saw Nemuri offer them a confident smile before calmly turning to face the two mothers and declaring with unwavering firmness.
"Even I sometimes question what a terrible guardian I've been. I don't know how much you know, but the truth is—I was the one who started all of this. I was the one who couldn't control herself and practically forced myself on Kai. I was the one who convinced Ryuko and Shino to get involved in this madness. I was the one who persuaded Kai to accept them. I was Kai's first time. This is 100% my fault. If you want a villain, here I am."
Upon hearing Nemuri, Keiko and Yumiko widened their eyes in disbelief—never in their wildest imaginings had they conceived of a situation like the one unfolding before them. But the stunning blue-eyed woman, radiating a unique presence full of confidence and exuding an infinite sensuality capable of mesmerizing any living being, added with a confident smile, glancing discreetly at Momo.
"But, to paraphrase someone—I love Kai from the bottom of my heart. He's the only man in this world I want to be with, and I'll do whatever it takes to stay by his side, without limiting myself with moralism or any of that nonsense. And I know none of you are willing to walk away either, so whether we hate each other or not, we're all staying in this house. We're all staying by his side. So whether we're friends or enemies—it's up to you. Just don't forget—we outnumber you."
Hearing Nemuri's defiant declaration, spoken with unwavering confidence as she looked them straight in the eyes, Keiko and Yumiko couldn't help but frown in displeasure. Because as much as they hated to admit it, the woman was right—none of them were willing to leave. And if they went to "war", the only one who would truly suffer would be Kai.
Aside from building things and training, the only thing he ever did was care for and protect them. Forcing him to choose a side would be devastating—and that was something none of the women present wanted to risk.
"How can we know you're being sincere? How can we know that a pervert like you won't end up betraying Kai's trust? How can we be sure you won't hurt him?!" Keiko asked angrily after a few seconds, to which Nemuri responded in an incredibly serious tone.
"While I could tell you a lot of things—like how much I love Kai and what I'm willing to do for him—I know none of that really matters. Words are just words. So instead, I'll tell you the rules of our relationship—rules that Kai fully agreed to. That way, if I ever betray him or hurt him, you'll know—and you'll be free to take whatever action you see fit."
Nemuri paused briefly to observe Keiko and Yumiko's expressions. Though visibly upset, they seemed receptive to the proposal, so she quickly added with firm seriousness.
"First of all, this relationship was born because we all wanted to be with Kai. That means Kai will be the only man in our lives—no excuses of any kind. If another man ever shows up, that's the end—I'll personally throw that person out of this house. Kai is a possessive and jealous person, and we all know it. No one here is just looking for a good time—this is serious."
Seeing Keiko and Yumiko's expressions relax slightly, Nemuri smiled with confidence. She now felt certain that the two mothers weren't just angry—they were terrified that someone might hurt their precious boy. That meant the path to victory was clear: she simply had to dispel their doubts, and things would naturally settle with time. People get used to anything eventually. With renewed confidence, she continued.
"Second, this is a 100% consensual relationship. Everyone involved is fully aware of the difficulties, risks, and consequences that this relationship could bring into our lives. That's why no new person can join the relationship unless everyone agrees. If even one person objects, then no one new is allowed in."
Upon hearing the second rule, Keiko and Yumiko couldn't help but glance at each other in mild surprise—and in doing so, they each caught a glimpse in the other's eyes of the same strange idea beginning to form. Nemuri noticed it instantly, though she chose not to jump to conclusions just yet and instead continued her explanation in a serious tone.
"Third—and this is crucial because the complexities of this relationship will far exceed those of any conventional one—communication is vital. Everyone must be completely open with one another. While small secrets are fine, if something could potentially affect the relationship, it must be discussed. We all want long-term happiness—ideally for life—so if there are preferences of any kind, inhibitions, or anything along those lines, it needs to be shared with the rest.
"Fourth—and this is very important—because of our careers, the relationship will be kept secret for an indefinite period of time, unless everyone agrees to change that. And finally, though it's not exactly a rule, jealousy and things of that nature have no place in this relationship. Each of us must be fully aware that we are sharing Kai, and that this comes with certain challenges and adjustments to traditional couple dynamics. On top of that, we must be extremely careful about who we allow into the relationship.
"As you can probably imagine—since, in a way, we've been sharing Kai from the beginning—we haven't had any issues with that so far because we all love and support each other. But it's something that could happen in the future, so we have to keep it in mind and work to prevent any such problems from arising."
