Chapter 40: (Little) Devil’s Whisper
“—That’s enough!! Eito, that’s enough already…!! That’s enough, stop…!!”
A loud, sultry moan that would never normally come from the usually quiet Furei echoed from the phone.
As if recreating the scene I’d seen with Emera yesterday, Furei was being tormented relentlessly.
Again and again, Furei’s body convulsed violently.
Just like with Emera, was this going to keep going for hours on end again?—I was thinking that when it happened.
Just as Furei’s body was about to jolt convulse again—my hands suddenly came to a dead stop.
“Fue…?”
Furei, who had been driven to her limit by the intense stimulation until just a moment ago, let out a dazed cry when my hands suddenly stopped.
Her face was still flushed bright red, with tears streaming down her cheeks.
It must have been very intense for her.
“Why……?”
Still dazed, Furei let the question slip out.
What’s more, even her expression looked wistful.
She was probably unaware of all of that herself.
As if answering her question—my hands began to move fiercely once again.
“—!!”
Furei hurriedly covered her mouth with both hands, trying to stifle her voice.
Unlike before, when it had gone on continuously, the brief pause seemed to have given her a little breathing room.
But—just as she was reaching her limit and her body was about to convulse… my hands came to a stop once again.
“Uu…!!”
When my hands stopped yet again, instead of looking relieved, Furei clenched her teeth in frustration, tears welling in her eyes as she glared toward the screen.
I wondered why she was glaring at the camera… then it hit me. She wasn’t venting her anger at the sleeping me, but at the me watching this right now.
That’s just like her—always thinking ahead.
I’m sure she’d even foreseen that I’d check the phone to understand what had happened once I woke up the next day.
Even if she was angry, I had no idea what was going on, and since I couldn’t go back to that moment anyway, there was nothing I could do about it.
After that, the same scene repeated over and over again—
“Eito… haa… haa… meanie…!”
—and despite the needy look on her face, Furei was absolutely livid.
Hey, this is bad, isn’t it…!?
It looked like I’d completely made an enemy of her, and the blood drained from my face.
Once she woke up, I couldn’t shake the feeling that she’d definitely get her revenge on me.
But right now, she showed no sign of anger at all. On the contrary, she was sleeping with a very satisfied look on her face.
Seeing her like this, it was hard to believe she’d been so furious earlier.
Just as I was wondering what on earth could have happened next, my hands shifted to a gentler touch.
It was a perfect middle ground between the initial teasing caresses and the violent intensity from just moments ago.
Because of that, Furei’s hips slowly began to lift—
“~~~~~!”
—and with an incoherent cry, she went limp and fell back with a heavy thud.
“Haah… haah… Even though you were being… so gentle… I ended up like this… Uun… actually, this gentleness… is the most dangerous… At this rate… I won’t be able to come back…”
For a moment, Furei looked as though she might drift off, but she quickly came back to herself and turned her gaze toward the camera again.
No—unlike before, she probably wasn’t looking at the camera, but at Shirayuki-san.
“Koori… I have a good idea… lend me your ear…”
In contrast to Emera, I seemed to be giving Furei some time to rest.
Using that time, it appeared that Furei was trying to strike some kind of deal with Shirayuki-san.
“No matter what you say, I am strictly forbidden from interfering…”
“It’s okay… I have an idea… it doesn’t go against… what Mother told you… Or would you rather… stay like this… and keep feeling frustrated…?”
“…………”
It was likely because the one proposing was the clever and trustworthy Furei.
Had Emera said the same thing, Shirayuki-san surely wouldn’t have listened. But faced with Furei’s devilish whisper, she found herself leaning in closer.
I didn’t know what she meant by “frustrated,” but… well, I guess if you’re forced to watch something like this up close, I suppose it would be rough…
Just as that thought crossed my mind, the image on the screen shook violently.
“Kyah! W-w-why…!?”
Judging from the way the camera moved, Shirayuki-san had likely been dragged onto the bed by Furei.
I found myself wondering how Furei, who was supposed to be frail, had managed to drag her over.
“I drank… a muscle-enhancement drug beforehand… baton… touch…”
“How did you even come up with something like that…!? And what do you mean by ‘baton touch’…!?”
Shirayuki-san couldn’t help but retort, but the reason was obvious. Having seen what happened to Emera yesterday, Furei must have realized the same thing would happen to her and prepared in advance to deal with it.
She probably didn’t gain enough strength to resist me, but enough to drag an unsuspecting Shirayuki-san over—or so it seemed.
“This isn’t allowed—wait, Eito-sama!? P-please let go of me…!”
On the screen, the camera angle was tilted up toward the ceiling, so I couldn’t see anymore—but Shirayuki-san, having fallen neatly into Furei’s trap, must have tried to escape only to be caught by me.
Knowing Furei, she’d deliberately pulled Shirayuki-san into a position where she’d end up within my reach, no doubt.
“It’s okay… Koori isn’t… interfering…”
“That may be true, but this is really not—wait, stop…! W-Why is it so intense for me right from the start?! Aaaaaah!”
Shirayuki-san’s complaints toward Furei were suddenly cut short, replaced by a panicked, high-pitched cry.
It seemed like there was no stopping it now…
Character Summary (non-official)
- Aima Eito (愛真 英斗) — A second-year high school boy and twin brother of Hina. Level-headed and cautious, he knows more about the Tenjouin sisters’ cruelty than most after being in their class last year. He tries to stay quiet and unnoticed to avoid trouble, especially from the Tenjouin sisters who despise men.
- Aima Hina (愛真 雛) — Eito’s twin sister, a tiny 148 cm girl who’s adorable, clingy, and very attached to her brother. Sweet-natured and polite, but easily frightened, especially upon learning she’s placed in the same class as the Tenjouin sisters.
- Tenjouin Emera (天上院 翠玉) — One of the school’s notorious “twin queens.” A beautiful girl with long straight hair: a single streak of her bangs is white while the rest is gold. She has heterochromia—right eye red, left eye blue, and a flat chest. Cold, arrogant, and dangerously influential thanks to her powerful, wealthy family. Devoted entirely to her sister Furei.
- Tenjouin Furei (天上院 風麗) — Emera’s twin sister, with opposite hair colors—one golden streak in her bangs, the rest pure white—and mirror-image heterochromia: right eye blue, left eye red. She has a bob cut and a voluptuous figure like a gravure idol. Quiet, expressionless, and mysterious, yet incredibly dangerous beneath her calm. Furei doesn’t care about anyone except for Emera and the girls she favors, and even then, she treasures them more like pets than equals.
- Tenjouin Maria (天上院 真莉愛) — Maria is the foster parent who took Eito and Hina in from the orphanage when they were in second grade. An unbelievably beautiful woman who looks to be in her twenties—and still insists she is in her twenties—she has striking half-gold, half-white hair parted cleanly down the middle, brilliant blue eyes, and an ample chest. Though she appears elegant and composed, Eito describes her as a “demon in human skin,” having put him through countless extreme punishments whenever he failed to meet her expectations. Yet despite her terrifying side, Maria is helplessly weak to cute things, which is why she absolutely adores Hina and has spoiled her since they were little.
- Shirayuki Koori (白雪 氷) — Shirayuki Koori serves under the Tenjouin twins. She is a petite girl with pale blue twin-tail hair and an adorable, youthful face, paired with an icy, emotionless gaze. Despite her doll-like appearance, she is a highly trained combatant raised under special training since childhood. Competitive and proud, she hates losing and becomes flustered or emotional when things don’t go her way, revealing a childish side beneath her cool exterior.
- Shirayuki Hitomi (白雪 仁美) — Koori’s mother and Maria’s loyal maid. Like Maria, she is an unbelievably beautiful woman who looks to be in her twenties despite her age. Her appearance and personality resemble Koori’s, though with greater maturity, and she possesses the uncanny ability to read people’s thoughts at a glance. Despite her gentle demeanor, she may also have sadistic tendencies, given how she smiled gracefully while “punishing” Emera, all the while calling her pitiful.
