CH 56.2

「...Huh. Well, that's tough. Wouldn't it be better if you died?」

While tipping her glass of iced tea, Mishuku Hana, a literary girl with black-rimmed glasses and twin ponytails, spoke up in an extremely cold voice.

She is dressed in a neat dress.

A small bag filled with items for going out is placed beside her, and she supports her glass with both hands. At first glance, she looks very pretty.

But her inner emotions are very hard to imagine from her appearance.

「How many girls do you have to hold before you're done? You rapist」

Her outspoken words and actions――their intensity and sharpness surpassed even Riko's in her prime. Despite the lack of physical threats, she is relentless in her abuse.

Chihiro listened to Hana from a position leaning against a nearby wall. Well, the table in the living room of the apartment is too small for the four of them, and Hana does not want to share it with Chihiro.

As soon as Chihiro and her friends arrived back at the apartment and took a rest, she came to the apartment and behaved like this. Thinking that he was partly responsible for this, Chihiro could only laugh.

「Well, you're the only one who's been raped so far. Mishuku-san, right?」

Riko, who was holding a glass with one hand, said casually, and Hana glanced at her.

「That's correct, but why don't you stop asking when you remember it so well? I mean, Nishizaki-san... did you want to be this man's slave?」

Hana seems to be a genuine lesbian.

If that's the case, then Riko, who is the same sex as Hana, and with whom she's been in contact many times, shouldn't be as repulsive as Chihiro, but the fact that the two of them are complete opposites makes Hana uneasy.

In fact, there seemed to be a sense of danger in their conversation, as if they were treading on thin ice.

「That's right. He was rough with me at first, but now I'm okay with it. That's why, if anyone asks me, I'll say it's a mutual agreement」

Riko's reply echoed what Chihiro had said to Hana: "If I rape someone and make them obey me, it will be a mutual agreement".

Hana probably didn't feel good about being shown what she might have become if she had made a mistake, or what her future would be like.

「You're crazy. You're all crazy」

「Including you. ...Aha. I'm looking forward to the time when Mishuku-san gives in to Master and begs with your sweet voice」

「It won't come, that's for sure」

Hana cut off Riko's provocation and looked at Maria, who had been sitting in silence for some time now.

「...So... Maria-chan, are you going to support Izumi-kun's love life?」

The jet-black girl looked up and looked at Hana as if she had just realized something.

She smiles and nods, clearly.

「Yes, of course」

「Why? Why don't you just leave this guy alone and be mine? I will love only one person, and it's you, Maria-chan. There's no need to be obliging to the first Master」

「Hey, Hana-san」

A quiet voice interrupted Hana's words.

「No matter how many times you say it, it won't change my answer. I'll never be yours. Well... yeah. Unless Master gives me an order」

「I'm not letting go of Maria」

「Yes. I surely hope so」

Chihiro replied, and Maria nodded happily.

When Hana saw the two of them, she spat viciously.

「...It seems that the only way to get Maria-chan is to get rid of Izumi-kun」

「It's so disturbing」

Chihiro chuckled.

As expected, controlling her would be an extremely long road.

Well, just take it slow and try not to get killed.

「So, Mishuku-san, why don't you come and have fun with us?」

「Why do I have to accompany Izumi-kun out?」

「......」

The girl's "why?" is very deadly.

「I mean, I'm not included in the list of girls who are with Izumi-kun, am I? I don't remember being close to this person, right?」

Hana has a valid point. But,

「No, you are included」

Riko cut it short.

After all, the girl Aika mentioned was, in context, the girl Chihiro held, in other words, the slave. If Hana was excluded and introduced later, Chihiro's credibility would be completely destroyed.

And Chihiro agreed with this.

Of course, if he added Hana to Maria, Riko and Aika, there was no telling what would happen. In the first place, he doesn't understand why Aika made such a request, but even so, he can't think of an option not to ask for Hana's cooperation.

Hana nodded deeply at Riko's explanation.

「I see」

「Then」

「But I don't want to」

She firmly refused.

Well, even if Chihiro was in the same position, he would probably refuse.

「Hana-san, it's for me too, please」

「...It can't be helped. I'm willing to consider it for a little while」

「Aren't you weak!?」

Riko shouted, and Hana stared at her.
