The door opened under Otoha's horrified stare.
Suze leaned out with an easy smile. "Something wrong, Shisa-san?"
Shisa peered past him, searching for her mother. "Have you seen Mom?"
Under the bed, Otoha's heart nearly stopped. She pressed herself flat, terrified Suze would drag Shisa in to "catch them in the act."
"Your mom?" Suze shook his head innocently. "Haven't seen her."
"Oh… maybe she stepped out." A flicker of disappointment crossed Shisa's gentle features, but she quickly smiled again. "Dad's home, by the way."
Otoha's pupils shrank. She instinctively scooted deeper under the bed until she could only see their shoes.
Suze assumed Shisa was threatening him with her father's presence.
Instead, the silver-haired girl bowed deeply, voice full of apology. "I'm really sorry. Dad came home drunk… I wanted him to meet you… How rude of me."
Suze chuckled. "No worries at all. I'm the one intruding. Being the head of the house must be tough."
Shisa gave an embarrassed little laugh, then brightened. "Dad hasn't showered yet, but I've already drawn the bath. Would you like to go first, Ze-kun? I can grab some of Itsuki's clothes for you."
So considerate.
Suze waved a hand. "A bathrobe is fine. I'd rather not wear a dead man's clothes."
"Of course." Shisa smiled, stepping aside with an inviting gesture.
A white-haired, crimson-eyed girl making that motion was criminally cute.
Suze stepped out, closing the door behind him, and followed her down the hall.
Shisa walked slowly, glancing back every few steps, clearly hesitating.
Finally she spoke, voice soft but firm. "Suze-san… may I ask why you're really here?"
Itsuki was missing. His "friend" shows up out of nowhere and needs to spend the night. Then locks himself in Itsuki's room. Something was definitely off, and her mother was hiding it too.
"You really want to know?" Suze's tone was light, almost teasing. "The truth might scare you."
Shisa's expression tightened. "Please tell me. I'd be grateful."
Suze smiled. "If you truly want answers, come talk to me in the bathroom. I'd rather Kaede didn't overhear."
The bait was cast.
Whether the fish bit remained to be seen.
A quick glance at his desire point feed showed Shisa's emotions spiking—complex, turbulent, a storm of feelings.
Shisa said nothing more, as if the question had never been asked. She led him to the bathroom, gave brief instructions, and left.
Suze stripped, sank into the perfectly warm water, and propped his phone above the surface. He turned off airplane mode, answered messages from Reina and the others, then pulled up the invisible bamboo dragonfly master feed to check on his wings.
Reina and the main group were fine.
Kuroda Satsuki and Sōma Ramu, however… problems.
…
Kuroda Satsuki had somehow gotten a framed photo of him.
And right now, she was using that framed photo to get herself off.
Classic delusional fangirl behavior.
He hadn't realized the prim-and-proper class rep was such a massive pervert.
If he called her right now, she'd probably teleport straight over.
"This level of solo play won't satisfy her…"
Grinning wickedly, Suze dialed.
The special ringtone blared. Satsuki jolted, nearly dropping the sticky frame. She flung it aside and snatched up the phone.
"Ze-kun!"
"Such an intimate way to answer," he teased.
"S-sorry…"
"No, I like it. Actually, I called because our exemplary class rep is the only one who can help me with a math problem."
"Haha, stop flattering me. Your grades are way higher… Go ahead, ask."
"…"
He heard wet sounds over the line.
"Satsuki, are you in the bath right now?"
Satsuki stared at her own pale fingers, which had—entirely on their own—slipped inside her and were moving fast.
Sweat beaded on her forehead.
"Y-yes! Taking a bath!" she squeaked, and somehow her fingers sped up, as if her pussy was sucking them in.
"Ah, then next time."
Beep beep.
Call ended.
Satsuki stared at the phone in shock, then frantically rubbed it against herself down there. Pleasure exploded through her; she screamed as she squirted all over the screen.
…
Suze's smile widened. He switched feeds to Sōma Ramu.
He'd been checking on her occasionally. She'd been at St. Juliana Hospital, keeping vigil over her brother Sōma Seito.
Right now, in the VIP ward's private bathroom, Ramu stared blankly at a noose that had just fallen from the ceiling.
Her face was gaunt, one cheek swollen red and bruised.
Minutes ago, her father had slapped her for failing to protect Seito.
Hatred, guilt, despair—she, the iron-willed heiress, had finally broken. She stepped onto a stool and slipped the rope around her neck.
Then the rope snapped clean and dropped.
Suze wasn't about to let one of his wings break.
He'd even assigned an invisible dragonfly to reserve-wing Kuroda Satsuki. No way he'd lose a full wing like Ramu, even if she was currently "external."
Ramu's eyes flickered. The cut was perfectly smooth.
She knew instantly.
"I knew it was you! Suze!"
"We're not done!"
"You're dead!"
Her face twisted into something feral, fists clenched so tight they bled. Black shadows seemed to swallow her pupils—she'd fallen completely.
She'd suspected him ever since Seito's dick was mysteriously severed. The only person she'd crossed that day was Suze, and only Suze could pull off something so clean.
"Oho."
"A villainess revenge arc?"
Suze was thoroughly entertained and ready to watch the show—
When footsteps approached the bathroom.
"Daddy stinks of booze and won't even shower!" Kaede grumbled, sounding like a nagging little wife.
She shoved the door open.
And walked straight into the sight of a beautiful man bathing.
Time stopped.
Two streams of blood poured from her nose.
In her daze, the bath towel wrapped around her slipped from nerveless fingers and pooled on the floor.
The girl's flawless, youthful body—full breasts, tiny waist, flawless skin—was suddenly on full display.
"Yo!" Suze greeted cheerfully, enjoying the view and raising a hand in casual wave.
"KYAAAAA!!!"
Kaede shrieked, crimson hair flying as she spun to flee.
A strong hand caught her wrist before she could take a single step.
