The room was S*giri Izumi's sanctuary.
In the center of the wooden-floored room was a rug and a low table holding a laptop and drawing tablet. The bed and corners of the room were scattered with various dolls and beanbag chairs. The bookshelf was packed with manga, novels, and figures, and two game consoles with controllers sat in front of the TV. The sanctuary, where entry was absolutely forbidden in the past, was now packed with people.
"Ahem, please allow me to introduce: the guardian of this room, the creator of Erotic Anime, the Hentai Manga Sensei—an old man on the internet, but a flat-chested loli in reality!!!!"
"No, I don't know anyone by that name!!"
Unlike the video calls with Rin Ito, S*giri today wore a dark green hoodie. The oversized garment concealed her tiny frame like a dress, revealing only her two slender, pale thighs. Beneath the hoodie, a pink pajama set could be glimpsed. S*giri had the hood up and was wearing a highly suspicious magical girl mask to hide her face. Although the mask looked cute, Rin Ito felt it wouldn't look out of place even at the scene of a serial murder.
Recovering from the embarrassment of being called the Erotic Anime Teacher to her face, S*giri's eyes darted across the six visitors. "Didn't you say you were bringing your girlfriend? Are all of them your girlfriends?"
"Ta-da~~~" The ever-energetic Megumi Jinno glanced at Kaede before raising her hand high. "I'm Big Brother's future girlfriend~ When that time comes, Big Brother's di**k will belong to me!"
"Don't listen to her nonsense... Megu, what's with you constantly talking about di**ks?" Rin Ito was completely speechless. Seriously, sis. That's a total turn-off.
"Huh? Big Brother, you're so outdated! All the girls my age love talking about di**ks the most!"
"...." When Rin Ito throws a question mark, it's not because he's the one with the problem—it's because he thinks you have the problem.
But looking at Megumi Jinno's confident expression, Rin Ito couldn't help but feel suspicious. Wait... am I really out of touch?
"Ignore her. She's not with me."
As Rin Ito spoke, S*giri stared at Megumi Jinno through her mask. Even the high-energy girl who had just proclaimed her love for di**ks looked terrified. Fortunately, S*giri quickly turned her attention to Kaede and Suzu.
"Then what about them? Who is your girlfriend?"
"Guess?"
S*giri's eyes scanned Kaede, Suzu, and Saku. Finally, her gaze landed on Suzu. Though she was wearing a mask, Rin Ito could imagine the look of absolute perversion on S*giri's face beneath it. If the room weren't so crowded, she might have ripped off the mask and started drawing immediately.
"Her chest is the biggest. It must be her," S*giri stated, pointing at Suzu's chest.
"Wrong. That's Suzu, my girlfriend's younger sister."
"Then her?"
S*giri looked at Mashiro... So beautiful. You don't even need to touch her golden hair to know it's soft! Her skin is so fair, and she's as delicate and cute as a doll!
"She... she's a manga artist. She came with me to gather reference material."
"Then..."
S*giri's gaze fell on Saku Yosh*da. The one with the biggest chest is the sister, Suzu. The one with the slightly smaller chest who looks like Suzu is the older sister, Kaede. The doll-like girl is a fellow artist. So, who's the last one?
"Um..." Saku Yosh*da started to speak timidly, but Rin Ito cut her off.
"Her name is Saku Yosh*da, and she's the model we brought. You can make her pose in any humiliating way you want."
"Guhahaha...." S*giri, wearing the mask, let out a perverted chuckle. "Her chest isn't big, but she looks so timid and easy to bully. Making her lift her skirt would definitely show a cute, embarrassed expression. Hehehe, come on, quickly lift your skirt and show me, guhahaha..."
"Wah... S*giri-chan is so scary," Megumi Jinno instinctively took a step back.
Wearing the mask was the same as taking it off. The S*giri who wore the mask of the internet transformed from a shy, socially awkward, flat-chested loli into the crude old man who constantly demanded lewd pictures. In reality, the usually painfully shy S*giri, upon wearing the magical girl mask, revealed her truest, most unfiltered side.
"Calling me 'classmate'? Who are you?" S*giri eyed Megumi Jinno warily. S*giri had overlooked her earlier because of her flat chest.
"Um, S*giri-chan, I'm your class representative. I'm here to get you to go back to school~"
"No! I don't want to go to school! Get out, get out!!! Get out of my room!!!!"
S*giri's reaction to Megumi Jinno was extremely violent; she flailed and resisted, but Megumi Jinno refused to back down.
"Calm down, calm down."
"I'm not leaving! As long as you don't leave the room, S*giri-chan, I won't leave either!"
Rin Ito kept giving Megumi Jinno silent signals, and Megumi definitely understood, but she stubbornly refused to leave.
"S*giri-chan, you know staying in your room isn't good for you, right? Come out with me! Let's be friends! Come out of your room with me and go to school to make lots and lots of friends!"
"Forcing your goodwill onto others! You hypocrite! Go back home!" S*giri hurled the green octopus doll from her bedside at Megumi Jinno.
"S*giri-chan, calm down a bit." The person who spoke wasn't Rin Ito, but Kaede. She stood in front of S*giri and gently comforted her.
Perhaps because she often chatted with Rin Ito online, S*giri's resistance to Rin Ito was much lower than to others. Talking to Rin Ito while wearing the magical girl mask was like talking to him online. The others who came with Rin Ito didn't seem overly aggressive either, so S*giri could grudgingly accept them, but Megumi Jinno's aggression was too much.
Gently resting her hand on S*giri's shoulder, Kaede gave Rin Ito a look.
"Big Brother, wait a moment! I haven't finished with S*giri-chan..."
Rin Ito pushed Megumi Jinno out of the room. Then Kaede signaled Suzu, and Suzu led Mashiro and Saku out of S*giri's room temporarily.
Kaede sat beside S*giri, giving her a gentle smile.
"S*giri-chan, this won't work. Even if she leaves today, she might keep annoying you tomorrow and the day after. So... why not try to be friends with her?"
"!?" S*giri stared at Kaede in shock. She thought Kaede was on her side by getting Megumi to leave temporarily, but she was wrong...
"S*giri-chan, what I mean is... she wants to be your friend. If you keep rejecting her, she'll keep bothering you. But if she's the one who gives up, it'll solve the problem permanently." Kaede winked. "You can borrow my boyfriend for now, you know."
S*giri froze upon hearing Kaede's words, then her eyes lit up, and a sly, mischievous smile appeared on her lips.
She wants to be my friend? Go ahead and try!
