"After having sex for a few hours, Shiori couldn't take it anymore, so I let her sleep and took care of her. When it was 4 in the morning, I went to take a shower and put on my uniform after tidying up the room, which had gotten a bit messy.
Of course, Kotori had been watching for a while, and while I was making breakfast for everyone as a little present for Shiori, Kotori came to talk to me.
So at around 5:30 in the morning, Kotori and I started a conversation.
"Why did you do that to Shiori?"
"Why wouldn't I? Shiori herself begged me for sex."
"You! Don't lie, she would never do that unless she was coerced."
'Does she think Shiori is some kind of saint or something?' Shiori herself wanted to have sex, I just gave a suggestion and let her choose, I wasn't going to do anything to her, it was Shiori who was too anxious and wanted proof.
"Why don't you ask her yourself? But I bet you liked it, huh? Why did you just watch instead of interfering?" She watched the whole thing for a while, and of course I knew.
After all, this is one of the most important steps right now, and it's going to happen in a few minutes.
"... "
"T-That doesn't mean anything, I-I just didn't want to embarrass Shiori."
"If I was coercing her, it would basically be rape. You saw your sister being raped and did nothing?"
"..."
"Come on, Kotori, you don't even believe she was coerced. It's obvious she wanted this, you're just jealous."
"I-I'M JEALOUS!?"
"Don't yell, Kotori, the others are still trying to sleep, and yes, you're jealous. You're so jealous that you want to deprive your sister of her happiness. She wanted this herself and seemed very happy to be under me."
It's a fact, I may be a terrible monster in the eyes of society, but I made Shiori very happy. She was easily the happiest woman in the world last night.
"If you think this is so bad, discuss it with her. Tell her that I'm a bad person, tell her with your own words that I'm terrible and that I'm blackmailing her."
"..."
"Kotori, I promise that if you talk to Shiori about this, I won't do or say anything. I'll even obey any request of yours if you're right about me coercing Shiori, and you know that at least I keep my promises."
"..."
"I'll talk to her." Kotori agrees with some confidence in this.
"Great, I have to go, Shiori will be here soon. I hope you have a great conversation with her." I say as I head for the exit. Kotori is wearing the black ribbons, so she's more 'aggressive', and with that I will shatter the little trust between them.
After a loving night with me, Shiori clearly has much more connection with me.
I go outside and activate my armor, hiding as best I can while flying to the roof and then hiding. I then activate my demon king's passive, which will intensify the fight, increasing their negative feelings.
And with that, the hot-headed Kotori will go alone and devastate the relationship between the two, and with that I will become the only important person in Shiori's life, the same Shiori who, by no longer having relationships, will have no choice but to follow my decisions.
I don't even know how this will happen, after all I will only intensify their bad feelings. I also generate a barrier to prevent the sound from waking the others this is just between Shiori and Kotori.
Will Kotori be able to keep a cool head and not ruin everything? Or will Shiori still be able to accept her? Maybe the fight won't even get that serious. In the end, all I can do is wait and see.
...
...
...
"Kotori, what did you want to talk about?" I woke up to make breakfast for everyone, but I didn't find Aurelio. He tidied up the room, cleaned me up somehow, and left.
When I came down, the food was all made and Kotori was waiting for me. When I asked about the food, Kotori said Aurelio made it and then had to leave because he was busy.
This really made me happy. Even though he left, he did all these things, showing what a nice guy he is.
However, Kotori said she wanted to talk to me.
"Shiori, I want to talk about your relationship with Aurelio." Kotori speaks seriously.
"..."
'It's still a secret... I shouldn't say that Aurelio and I started dating, after all it was literally yesterday.'
"What's up, Kotori? We're just good friends. Is it again because of Yoshino?"
"Shiori, why are you having sex with Aurelio, and how long has this been going on?" She speaks in an uncomfortable, accusing tone.
"!!!"
"H-How do you know this!?"
"Answer the question."
"...I-I shouldn't answer that kind of thing, it's my private life." I have no idea how she found out about this.
'W-Was I moaning too loudly? B-But what could I do, it was so good that I couldn't stay quiet even though I tried.'
"Shiori, he's deceiving you, isn't he?"
"W-What?" I ask in disbelief.
"Tell the truth, he's a complete scoundrel. I know he's tricking you, and he forced you into this."
"There's no way you could have accepted this without being coerced. Did he threaten you? Did he threaten to do something bad if you didn't accept?"
I look at Kotori in shock. How can she say such terrible things about the man I love.
"Kotori, stop insulting him!" I say angrily.
"Insult him? I'm just telling the truth. He's a complete scoundrel. He must have blackmailed you, there's no way you would have accepted this on your own."
"But I accepted it, okay! He didn't blackmail or anything like that, I accepted letting him take my virginity."
"..."
"Y-You accepted? Why!! You willingly spread your legs like a slut for that scoundrel?" She speaks incredulously, insulting me as a slut.
"Slut? Is that what I am for giving my first time to the man I love? How can you say that about me!" I stand up from the chair angrily. Another argument again, this is now common between us, but Kotori is wrong again.
"Love...Do you really truly love that scoundrel? How can you love another man, let alone that blackmailing, cowardly scoundrel? You were a man, Shiori! How can you simply love another man?"
This is so insulting. Why can't I like him? It's unfair. When it comes to helping the spirits, my opinion didn't matter, but now just because I like someone, I'm a slut for having relations.
"Shiori, you can't be serious, right? How can you sell yourself to that bastard like that? Can't you see he doesn't love you?" I hit the table hard, my anger has reached its limit. How can she say these things about me?
"At least I'm not a fucking whore who, even knowing how her sister feels, still sleeps with the guy she likes. Did you think I didn't see you insulting me while moaning and begging for sex like a desperate slut?"
"You knew I liked him, don't pretend otherwise. Even though you weren't even in a relationship with him, you just threw yourself into his arms, begging for more, and now that I'm his girlfriend, I can't even have one night with him without being a slut?"
"The real slut here is you." My hatred is noticeable in every word.
"Y-You knew..." Kotori says in shock, but I had already seen this before. In the past, if Kotori loved Aurelio, I might have even given up on him just so Kotori could be happy with him.
But seeing Kotori's attitude, it's obvious she doesn't love Aurelio, she's just a hypocritical, two-faced liar who spits on the feelings of others.
"You've always been like this, an arrogant person who doesn't know how to measure her words. But besides being arrogant, you're a manipulative, lying two-faced bitch!"
"I...I'm ashamed to have you as a sister." My feelings explode. I don't know why I'm being so extreme and emotional, but this is unfair. Kotori doesn't think about how I feel about all this, she's only caring about herself and insulting the person I love and trust the most.
"..."
"I should never have saved you in the past. If I hadn't done that, I wouldn't have to go through all this gratuitous humiliation."
She seems like she's going to cry at my declaration, which is practically saying I should have let her die in the past.
"Do you really despise me so much just for having been a guy before and now that I'm a woman, loving Aurelio?"
"Or are you jealous? With your flat chest and horrible personality, you couldn't even catch Aurelio's attention, while with me, Aurelio sees me as more than just a pastime."
"How many dates have you been on with him? I bet none, because there's no way he'd like someone like you who's arrogant, proud, and disdainful. That's why he only invited me to dates."
Slap
Kotori slaps me across the face.
"Now you're going to violence? Typical of you. In the end, you know I'm right, you're a terrible person, Kotori, your selfishness blinds you too much."
"When I was upset about turning into a girl, the only one who was there for me was Aurelio. Where were you in that difficult time? You did nothing, your incompetence in helping me just showed how little you care about me."
"I bet you only see me as a useful tool for Ratatoskr, well, know that from now on I'm out. I'll never help you seal another spirit again, as far as I'm concerned, they can all die."
"I'm always the one who runs the risk on these missions, and all you did was watch from a safe screen while insulting me for my choices and insulting me for things I wasn't even guilty of."
"What's my fault that Tohka watched a soap opera, got stressed out, and started breaking things with her power just because she was unstable? But in the end, the fault was mine."
"When in fact, the fault is all yours. You're the one who has to supervise them, not me. I'm not a babysitter, a maid, or a servant to anyone."
"You don't even pay me. What did I gain from all this? Helping you, risking my life, and hurting myself all the time, all to at most get a [Good job] as a compliment."
"Even on my birthday, Aurelio's gift was far superior to your mere congratulations and a meal, you didn't even throw me a proper party." Aurelio gave me a beautiful necklace that even had a territory to defend me from dangers.
"Isn't it ironic that the one you call a scoundrel was a thousand times nicer to me than you, who should be my family?"
"Incredibly, even in terms of security, he thought of me, while you, what did you do for my safety? Nothing! You never did anything for my safety!"
"You could at least have given me a territory to protect myself! But you didn't even do that! Honestly, my work at Ratatoskr is like that of a slave, running into danger and getting nothing in return." Was it so hard to give me something to protect me? Aurelio showed that no, giving me something to defend myself was very easy, but they didn't do that, only Aurelio did.
"You disappoint me, Kotori. I wish I had never had so much appreciation, trust, and affection for an ungrateful person like you."
"...Don't talk to me anymore, I need to be alone." I start running to my room, crying. My only thought is to call Aurelio.
And as soon as I get to my room, I pick up the phone and call him, crying. He answers immediately, and I start talking to him, crying and telling him everything that happened.
And he, as a nice guy, comforts me and praises me for my courage, which helps a lot, showing that he even supports me in this, while Kotori has never cared enough for me.
