Before returning to the dorm, Kaoru kept pondering the miracles the wish-granting machine mentioned. It said miracles were things that couldn't be done.
Because they couldn't be done, accomplishing them was a miracle.
Coming back from the dead was exactly that kind of miracle.
Kaoru's expression was complicated.
Was it encouraging him to keep ending his life to reach the next wish location?
But, for the sake of the [Trauma Clearing Patch], he'd let it slide for now.
Kaoru reached the dorm door.
As soon as he pushed it open, he saw shoes in the entryway, and voices came from inside the room.
"So gross. That guy's fetishes... I thought he was just a simple foot fetishist."
"Gross or not, when Kaoru does it, there must be a reason. Besides, Kikyo-chan is the one having the most fun."
"Who's having fun?! He forced me to crawl on the floor like a dog! You don't understand how I feel at all, Kei!"
"But, Kikyo-chan, you and he did it... Ah!?"
As Kei Karuizawa was speaking, she suddenly noticed an extra figure in the living room.
She jumped in fright, and when she saw it was Kaoru, her face flushed bright red.
Kushida was equally startled and complained, "You scared me to death! At least say 'I'm home' or something!"
Kaoru walked up to her and reached for the notebook in her hands.
She reacted quickly, hugging it to her chest to prevent him from taking it.
"What are you doing? This is something Horikita gave us!"
Kushida slapped his hand away, looking displeased. "We're not doing anything bad. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Of course he was in a hurry.
The two of them were eagerly reading through his wish list for Horikita Suzune, occasionally commenting on how disgusting it was.
Who wouldn't be?
Kaoru looked helplessly toward Horikita Suzune in the kitchen. "Weren't you unhappy about it before? Why suddenly give this to them?"
Ever since their relationship had improved, Kaoru's dorm had basically become their gathering spot.
Horikita Suzune had recently started coming over to make dinner for him.
Although Kushida teased her about being a newlywed wife, Horikita Suzune considered it part of the cost of reclaiming their contract—a perk for Kaoru, so it didn't count as being a newlywed wife.
"If you're unhappy, just discipline me instead. Looking back now, you were just trying to scare me at the time."
Horikita Suzune tasted the miso soup. He'd probably like this flavor.
Kaoru raised an eyebrow.
That wasn't quite right.
Back then, he might have actually done something to Horikita Suzune—after all, he wasn't afraid to end his own life.
"Um, actually, we just wanted to know Kaoru's secrets. Don't be mad. Even though we think it's perverted, Kaoru is different."
Kei Karuizawa suddenly hugged Kaoru's arm, her eyes sparkling. "Besides, writing these things for Suzune means Kaoru really wants to do them, right?"
Unable to refute, Kaoru seemed to give up struggling. "I'm really not that perverted. There are some bad things I've never done to any of you."
To this, Kushida actually nodded in agreement. "True, some of the gameplay is a bit perverse, but you don't have any heavy fetishes." That's really reassuring."
"This doesn't count as heavy?!"
Kei Karuizawa was shocked.
She'd seen quite a bit by now and had basically concluded that Kaoru was the world's most incredible pervert.
Yet, Kushida thought Kaoru was just an ordinary pervert.
"Of course not. Real heavy stuff is disgusting—the kind that makes you vomit just from looking."
Kushida flipped through the notebook and pointed at one entry.
"Look, the most bizarre part in the whole thing is just this one line. It doesn't even come close to heavy territory."
Kei Karuizawa glanced at it and blushed deeply.
Kaoru silently looked at Horikita Suzune. They're studying my fetishes using your notebook, and you don't even react?
"Don't look at me like that. Both of them are in a bad mood right now."
Horikita Suzune spoke leisurely, not even looking at him.
Before Kaoru could say anything, a smile appeared on Kushida's face.
She forcibly pulled Kaoru to sit beside her, her full body pressing against him.
"Horikita's right. Kei and I aren't in a good mood."
She smiled as Kei Karuizawa took the opportunity to sit on Kaoru's other side, surrounding him on both sides.
"We agreed before, right? Treat everyone fairly. Whatever Horikita gets, we should get too, okay?"
"Exactly! No one gets to sneak ahead!" Kei Karuizawa naturally held tightly onto Kaoru's arm, the softness of the girl completely pressing against him.
Kei Karuizawa naturally tightened her grip on Kaoru's arm, her softness pressing against him fully.
"You mean this wish list?" Kaoru asked uncertainly.
"What else? Why only expose your fetishes to Horikita? Can't we have them too?"
As she spoke, Kushida seemed to get angry. "You never show any desire toward us normally, but you're so proactive with Horikita! Even though you forced me to play the dog back then!"
"Do you think I'm some kind of orgy master?"
Kaoru was even more speechless.
If I don't discipline you, you're still not satisfied?
In this situation, if he made a move, it would definitely turn into an orgy.
"Isn't an orgy even better?"
Kushida grew excited. "Hurry up and call the senpais over too! I haven't seen them make peace signs yet!"
It's over. This little angel has completely twisted, turning into a fully fallen little devil.
Kei Karuizawa leaned against him, sniffed, and said with a hint of jealousy, "Did you do something with Honami?"
Kaoru was taken aback.
Could she really smell it?
"Tch. Ignoring us, but secretly disciplining your girlfriend in the student council office. Is it more exciting for you outside?"
For some reason, Kushida started sounding sour. "Such favoritism. Some people get to discipline girls outside, and even... inside."
Horikita Suzune's movements stiffened, and the tips of her ears turned slightly red.
"Even though... only my goal is to be a wife..."
Kei Karuizawa also sounded sour, muttering something about a baby under her breath.
Kaoru said expressionlessly, "If you keep this up, I'm going to make a move."
Kushida suddenly lifted his arm, her full softness rubbing against his skin.
Smiling, she gently leaned close to his ear and blew into it.
"Teach your little angel a lesson tonight. Let the cute one carry your stuff inside and go to class tomorrow. When she greets everyone, it might even drip down her thigh."
Full of demonic whispers, an irresistible temptation. Her murmurs made Kaoru's heart race for a moment, his reason nearly evaporating.
Immediately after, Kei Karuizawa glared at Kushida, her face flushed with embarrassment, and hugged Kaoru even tighter.
"No! You're too lewd, Kikyo!"
