The two battled until the very foundations of the universe seemed to tremble... If Kaguya's physical endurance hadn't been buffed, her "Great Way" might not have been ground away, but it certainly would have been ground into a state of intense throbbing pain.
"Aah... Kaguya-san, your expression..."
Chika looked at Kaguya, who was pillowed on her thighs, and didn't know how to describe it. She had never seen Kaguya show such a "broken" expression before. Kaguya's psychological defenses, much like her virginity, had been completely crushed. At first, she tried to regain her composure, but as Rin Ito broke her down time and time again, she eventually gave up.
If resistance was impossible, she might as well enjoy it.
Her silver teeth no longer clenched; her pink tongue hung out involuntarily, and her moans shifted from cries of pain to seductive whimpers.
"Ooh...~"
Noticing Kaguya's transformation, Rin Ito signaled Ai Hayasaka to move aside. He tenderly held Kaguya, kissing her lips while his movements became gentle and rhythmic. As the deep kiss ended, Kaguya's scrambled mind slowly regained consciousness. Rin kissed her cheek, pressing his lips to her ear to whisper soft comforts.
"It's okay now. Everything is fine. Right now, you're just Kaguya, not Kaguya Shinomiya..."
"You asked me what kind of personality I like. Now I'm telling you... I like the real you. Not the Great Lady of the Shinomiya family, but just Kaguya."
"You don't need the mask anymore."
"Without the mask, you won't be hurt. Showing your emotions won't get you punished... The Kaguya I love isn't a Shinomiya puppet; she's just a normal girl."
Creation is an act of revealing one's inner self. Manga is creation, and photography is creation. Rin Ito could see into Kaguya's heart through her photos. She took pictures of ordinary girls—going to school, playing with friends. Kaguya, trapped in her limousine every day, could only watch those girls through the window with envy.
Now that the mask was shattered and her softest core exposed, Rin's comfort sent Kaguya into a state of ethereal clarity—a "sage time" of the soul.
When was the last time she hadn't worn a mask? Memories of her early days in the Shinomiya house surfaced... Before the mask, she and Ai Hayasaka were just normal little girls.
Slap!
The sound echoing in Kaguya's ears wasn't the sound of Rin's thrusts hitting her flesh, but the memory of a ruler striking her palm. Homework left unfinished meant punishment. Playing meant punishment. Selfishness, exhaustion, the desire for rest—all meant punishment. The Shinomiya family treated a seven-year-old girl with the cold rigor of an adult.
With every strike of the ruler, the light in young Kaguya's eyes faded. She was molded into what the family wanted. The girl named Kaguya was sealed away, replaced by "Kaguya Shinomiya."
For the first time, Kaguya hugged Rin Ito back as if seeking a lifeline. "Is it... really okay?"
"Of course. I want the real Kaguya. I want the you that isn't a mask."
"Mmm..." Kaguya tightened her arms and kissed him passionately, venting years of repressed grievance. Her legs wrapped tightly around his waist, actively cooperating with his rhythm.
Ai Hayasaka finally understood. Rin Ito had become brutal specifically to break Kaguya—to force her into a "pissing orgasm" at her most vulnerable moment so she would abandon the mask she formed during her time with the Shinomiyas. It was excessive, but the results... were undeniable.
She was no longer the cold, calculating girl. Rin's movements were gentle now, no longer hammering at the "door" to her core.
Wait... Ai Hayasaka thought. Miss Kaguya seems quite masochistic, just like Chika. The Shinomiya education taught her to be submissive to men. And she's so wet... wetter than any girl on the island. My legs are soaked from her squirting. Is Miss Kaguya actually a very lewd girl?
"Ahhh...~"
With a final, seductive moan, Kaguya clung to Rin like a koala, her flat belly contracting in rhythmic waves of pleasure. Rin didn't pull out immediately; he stayed inside her, kissing her and stroking her sweat-dampened face. Chika gently petted Kaguya's head until her breathing stabilized.
When Rin finally withdrew, Kaguya looked at him with a complex gaze. She was a smart girl; she realized now that he had bullied her on purpose to break her chains. But still... did he have to make her leak in front of everyone? Couldn't he have been a bit more gentle?
She touched her lips, remembering the warmth of the kiss. How long had it been since she felt such tenderness? The last time... was in her mother's arms.
"Daddy..."
"Hmm? What did you say?" Rin almost thought he misheard. Daddy? What the hell?
"Nothing!!!! Don't worry about it!" A blushing Kaguya waved her hands frantically. "If you liked the real me, couldn't you have just said so!? Why did you have to make me... make me..."
Kaguya understood the logic, but habits are hard to break. Rin's method had been a shortcut. Rin smiled; he knew Kaguya's photography hobby was already healing her childhood, but his method was simply more fun. He knew that while she might still wear a mask for outsiders, she could never wear it in front of him, Chika, or Ai Hayasaka again. One teasing look from him would shatter it instantly.
Still, the "Daddy" comment caught him off guard. Gan'an Shinomiya raised her for so long, only for Rin Ito to pluck the ripened peach. Truly unsettling.
"Speaking of which, since Kaguya has shown such a pathetic side, then Ai Hayasaka..."
"!!!!"
"I... I have to find my mother..." Ai Hayasaka started to flee, but she was pinned down by a lightning-fast Kaguya. Seeing the dangerous, excited glint in Kaguya's eyes, Ai Hayasaka swallowed hard.
I'm doomed.
