"It's nothing, I just think Alex-kun has a lot of secrets," Hazuki said, resting her chin in her hands. "Kaede, since you're so close, do you know his secrets?"
Of course I do. But why would I tell you? Kaede grumbled internally. Seeing Hazuki's massive, swaying breasts made her feel a wave of bitterness. She looked down at her own chest—she could see her toes clearly. Damn it, why is everyone around me so well-endowed! Alex, that big pervert, only likes big tits. Curse him!
"I don't know. Alex, come with me for a second—"
Kaede ignored Hazuki and dragged Alex toward the kitchen. She puffed out her cheeks. "Hazuki has big breasts, doesn't she?"
"For the record, I have no interest in her," Alex said, holding back a laugh. "As for big tits, I've seen plenty. Is it that special?"
Kaede's expression softened immediately.
"Don't mind her, Alex. Sister invited her over," Rin said, walking over with a deadpan expression. "Sister literally invited the wolf into the house... If Alex gets stolen, it's Sister's fault."
"!!!" Is it my fault? Kaede panicked.
"So when that happens, Sister will be responsible for stealing Alex back."
"!!!" Rin, what are you implying?
"Meow—"
The cat's cry saved the blushing girl. Kaede's eyes lit up when she saw the white kitten. She tried to pet it, but the cat dodged her and jumped into Alex's arms. Kaede pouted.
"I knew you brought it. I was wondering where the cat came from. Is it yours? It's so cute."
Alex held the cat up. "It's surprisingly smart... but it's not my pet. It's a stray I found outside; it just decided to live in my yard."
"A stray? I've never seen such a beautiful stray."
"Meow~" The kitten waved its paws as if it understood, then happily started licking some milk. Kaede knelt down, her face full of smiles as she teased the cat.
Seeing Kaede—who had the same face as Rin but was so much more expressive—blushing and smiling, Alex couldn't help but admire the view. Sensing his gaze, Kaede's face turned even redder. She tried to act tough, but his warm gaze melted her "tsun," leaving only the "dere."
Rin watched her sister's rare expression, flicking her bangs. "Wow, what a cute kitten. Is this your pet, Kaede?"
Hazuki had walked over, conquered by the kitten's looks. She crowded close to Alex. Kaede frowned, noticing how Hazuki's low-cut top revealed a deep cleavage as she bent over. Her good mood evaporated.
"No, Alex brought it," Kaede said, standing up and subtly moving between them. "It doesn't like strangers. Don't touch it."
"Is that so? Too bad, I wanted to pet it," Hazuki said, noticing Kaede's protective stance. She smiled knowingly. "I love cats... I wish I could see it more often."
She moved on quickly, unbuttoning the top button of her shirt. "It's so hot. I love summer break, but I hate the heat..."
What are you doing?! Don't act like a slut in someone else's house! Kaede's eyes nearly bulged out. This was deliberate. She finally understood why Alex called her a "Green Tea Bitch."
Kaede looked at Alex, who was shamelessly staring at the exposed white skin of Hazuki's chest. He said he wasn't interested! Then what are you looking at!
"Hazuki, you said you wanted to show me something. What is it?" Kaede forced a change of subject.
Hazuki blinked her emerald eyes. "That... it's a very interesting book."
She pulled a thin, old book from her bag. The cover was pitch black with a strange, eerie pattern that looked like a magic circle. Hazuki held it in front of her face, peeking at Alex. "I found this in my family's storage. It's an interesting book... about summoning demons. Specifically, a Succubus."
Kaede and Rin froze. They had experienced the supernatural first-hand. Could this actually work? A Succubus?
"Alex, this..."
"There's no such thing as demons or succubi. You read too much manga," Alex said with a straight face, winking at the twins. "This book is probably just a prank."
"Is it? Even so... since I brought it, why don't we try?" Hazuki suggested.
"Fine. Try it. It'll prove I'm right." Alex leaned against the wall, crossing his arms, waiting for the girls to start the ritual.
