How surprising.
It was the first time he'd heard the word "lewd" not directed at him.
Although Kushida's words were tempting, Kaoru felt something was off.
"Kei doesn't get it at all. The lewder, the better. Don't they think we're always hanging out with a perverted foot fetishist?"
The little angel who had just been seducing the man instantly changed.
Kushida gritted her teeth and tightened her grip on Kaoru's arm.
"Heh, I totally understand how they feel. Their cute little angel was taken away. The object of their fantasies doesn't exist anymore, so they might as well destroy her. Boys are so troublesome and disgusting."
As if venting her dissatisfaction, Kushida's voice sounded frightening.
"I-I know that too, but Kaoru is here."
Kei Karuizawa's expression was also unpleasant, but she felt that holding onto Kaoru would give her confidence.
"Besides, doing that just proves they're right, doesn't it?"
"What does it matter? That pig Yamauchi already showed the photos. He thinks I'm Kaoru's girl. Heh, too bad. I'm master's little dog."
Far from reluctant, Kushida smiled instead.
Her pretty face rubbed against Kaoru as if a little dog was infatuated with its master's scent.
"Might as well fulfill their fantasies. Let master fill me up and shatter their little angel completely."
Kei Karuizawa stared at her blankly, then stole a glance at Kaoru, pretending she had also lost her mind, and quickly rubbed against him.
"M-me too! I want to carry Kaoru's stuff inside during class tomorrow!"
Kaoru finally understood why Horikita Suzune had said they were in a bad mood.
"Could you two stop deciding things on your own? Is this about the class voting?"
The two girls looked at each other, then continued clinging to him, still shaken.
"They say I'm master's little dog, that I seduce him every day, and even betray the class during exams... sob..."
Kushida pretended to cry. "Since they're saying that, I have no choice but to get back at them. Let them see with their own eyes how master fills me up."
Kaoru looked down at Kei Karuizawa.
The latter wasn't as thick-skinned, hesitating for a moment before whispering, "S-someone took pictures of us on a date with you. And it seems a lot of people know we often come to your dorm. Yamauchi says we've already become part of Class A."
After saying that, Kei Karuizawa buried her face in his chest, as if half of it was her responsibility.
Ever since that happened, Kei would frequently drop by my room.
At first she knew to be discreet, but as our relationship deepened and we even started dating, she stopped pretending altogether.
Several times she openly walked into Kaoru's room right in front of others.
Even now, she keeps the most personal belongings in Kaoru's room - overnight clothes and pajamas, cosmetics and jewelry.
Thanks to her and Kushida's efforts, the room has accumulated numerous JK elements.
At first glance, it might make one doubt whether they've entered the wrong room.
"Originally Kei and Horikita planned to avoid suspicion, but since we've been seen, what's the point of avoiding it now!"
Kushida complained discontentedly, "That pig actually incited everyone right in front of me, calling me and Kei traitors. I really underestimated him before - just a stupid pig who only fantasizes about girls behind their backs."
The little angel had completely disappeared, leaving only a gloomy-faced Kushida Kikyo who could do nothing but complain.
However, this was to be expected.
The reason Kaoru hadn't actively exposed their relationship with him was also due to this consideration - it would easily attract malicious speculation and attacks.
"It's fine, doesn't Kikyo have dirt on him frequently lying?"
Karuizawa Kei said with a light laugh, "Let's expose his true nature all at once. We definitely need to clean up this trash properly so he doesn't affect my relationship with Kaoru."
"I can't say it. Once I speak up, my persona will collapse."
Kushida Kikyo made a bitter face.
She knew this could solve the problem - Yamauchi Haruki often habitually lied, providing many points to attack.
However, her persona destined her not to take the lead, but to let others charge ahead while she hypocritically shed tears behind them, saying this shouldn't be done.
"There's still me! Horikita and I will get revenge for you!"
Karuizawa Kei was eager to try.
And so, the two girls looked expectantly at Kaoru.
Even if they could defeat Yamauchi Haruki, the suspicion of colluding with Class A would still remain.
In other words, people might still cast Criticism Votes against the two of them.
Kaoru finally caught on and laughed, "So you two are actually thinking about Class A's Praise Votes, right?"
Kushida Kikyo giggled, "Because you definitely wouldn't want us to get expelled. You don't need to give all your votes to me and Kei - 10 each would be enough."
"If it's too many, people will definitely notice something's wrong."
Karuizawa Kei felt somewhat embarrassed, "Since it's anonymous voting, even if people find it strange, they have no evidence."
"Actually, even if I don't give you Praise Votes, you probably wouldn't end up getting expelled."
Kaoru said, "One is a little angel, the other is a Brahmin. I don't believe your social circles don't have people voting for you two."
Kushida Kikyo immediately pulled a long face, stating firmly, "Besides ourselves, no one can be trusted."
"I agree. They only gather around me because I don't look easy to bully."
Karuizawa Kei similarly harbored extremely serious distrust of others.
The former had once taken time off school due to collapsed interpersonal relationships, while the latter had a history of being bullied. No wonder they maintained guardedness toward people deep in their hearts.
"So you trust me instead?" Kaoru spoke while reaching for Kei Karuizawa, sliding his hand beneath the hem of her clothes.
Kei Karuizawa stiffened slightly, a faint blush appearing on her cheeks, but she silently moved closer to him, making it easier for him, thinking he intended to bully her.
However, Kaoru's hand simply rested on her soft belly.
"Perverted foot fetishists like you can be satisfied with just a little reward."
Kushida Kikyo snorted a few times, then couldn't hold back her laughter, "Hehehe, Kei and I can satisfy you tonight. How about trading some Praise Votes with us?"
Kaoru's expression turned peculiar.
He suddenly understood Kamuro's feelings—no matter what he did to them, it could be considered a reward for them.
"There's no need to flatter me like this. None of you will be expelled."
Kaoru lightly chopped Kushida Kikyo's forehead with a hand blade. "If possible, I'd like you all to drive Yamauchi out of the school."
Kushida Kikyo glared at him reproachfully, unsure who he said that for.
"If you're done playing, it's time to eat now."
At some point, Horikita Suzune had already prepared a table full of dishes.
"W-Wait, I forgot again today!"
Kei Karuizawa widened her eyes. "Your domestic skills are way too intimidating! At least give me a chance!"
Seizing the opportunity, Kaoru freed himself from the two girls' grasp. Just as he stood up, Horikita Suzune appeared before him.
"Take off your uniform when you get back before you start playing around. Don't let it get wrinkled—it won't look good."
The girl was also wearing her school uniform, but she had tied a gray apron around her waist.
Due to their height difference, she frowned slightly, stood on her tiptoes, and silently helped Kaoru untie his tie.
Then she helped him remove his blazer, gathered it in her hands, and turned to leave.
As she moved, her skirt swayed slightly, revealing the curve of her full, rounded hips.
Below, she wore a pair of extremely sheer black tights that concealed her skin tone but accentuated her straight, slender calves, making one want to reach out and touch them.
"Ahem, staring again, are we?"
Kushida Kikyo quietly covered his eyes from behind. "This is Horikita's way of seducing you. So, isn't she adorable?"
"Kikyo!"
Horikita Suzune overheard her, and the tips of her ears turned red again.
She couldn't control where that guy was looking—how could anyone say she was seducing him?
"Hehe, newlywed wives tend to be shy. I get it."
Kushida Kikyo put on a cheerful grin, then leaned close to Kaoru's ear as if whispering.
"Though it's a bit annoying, I've completely figured out your fetishes. Look forward to it from now on, my master~"
As she spoke, she licked his earlobe.
Kaoru remained expressionless.
It seemed they planned to use the wish list to do something to him.
Considering it could fulfill wishes, there didn't seem to be any point in resisting.
