After creating a group chat for them, Karen informed them about her family's currently developing but not yet operational archipelago resort.
The resort developed by Karen's family was built on a small cluster of islands. However, most were not large islands; each island could be circled in about ten minutes on foot, and each one only had a small dock and wooden rooms. The focus was not on the hotel experience but on diving. Apart from one larger main island, which was in its final stages of completion, the other smaller islands were finished and could be borrowed without any problems.
Karen: [How about it? Do you want to go?]
Karen: [No one will bother you there, so you can focus entirely on your creative work. You won't even be able to escape if you try!]
Eri Sawamura: [No problem... My family's villa is in the mountains; if someone wanted to sneak away, they couldn't be stopped.]
Utaha: [Is that so? Just try not to cry when you can't finish your drawings.]
Utaha knew exactly what Eri Sawamura was thinking: she just wanted to party. But... why would she miss this opportunity? Since he wouldn't force anyone, as long as she firmly refused, she wouldn't be 'consumed.' With Eri Sawamura's masochistic tendencies... the last time, she climaxed just by being stepped on. Utaha would definitely step on her hard this time! She would make her lick up whatever she sprayed out!
Karen: [Roughly how many people are going? So I can arrange an island of an appropriate size. Also, should the room style be Japanese, Western, or rustic?]
Eri Sawamura: [I'll go ask.]
To stand up to Utaha, Eri Sawamura knew she couldn't rely on herself alone; she needed to gather the strongest forces. As for the personnel... Elf definitely counted; she would surely be on her side. Besides them... Misaki? Although she didn't interact with her as Kashiwagi Eri, Misaki would definitely help her out of solidarity as a Kashiwagi Eri fan. As for Marin... she would ask them first.
Eri Sawamura first contacted Elf and briefly explained the situation.
Elf: [I'm in.]
Elf: [Sagiri is at my house; I'll ask Sagiri.]
"Sagiri! Rin Ito and the others are going to the sea; do you want to go?"
"No."
Although Sagiri was now brave enough to leave the house, she still preferred to be at home; she wouldn't go out if she could avoid it.
"It's okay; it's not a crowded place. It's on an island, and you can still stay in your room. And... there will be many beautiful girls!"
"Beautiful girls!!!!"
Hearing the words 'beautiful girls,' Sagiri immediately agreed.
"Should we invite Megumi and the others?" Elf suggested.
"Sure."
For Sagiri, the more beautiful girls, the better. The idea of seeing many beautiful girls looking embarrassed... it was simply wonderful! It was late summer now, and if they waited any longer, she would have to wait until next year to see beautiful girls in swimsuits.
After Sagiri agreed, Elf immediately @ed everyone in their small group.
Megumi Jinno: [How long will it be? I've made plans to go out with a lot of friends.]
Elf: [The time isn't fixed, but you can leave whenever you want.]
Megumi Jinno checked her holiday schedule and agreed.
Then came Ami and Maki. Maki initially didn't want to go, but seeing Ami agree immediately, Maki had no choice but to accept.
Once they decided, Eri Sawamura pulled Elf into the group chat, and Elf pulled Ami and the others into the chat. When they entered the chat, they also saw Ami's and Marin's names. Sagiri immediately private messaged Marin, asking her to bring her cosplay outfits.
Then, the group chat became increasingly lively.
After messaging Elf, Eri Sawamura also sent a message in the Baumkuchen group chat. Mashiro was the first to respond, and then Saho agreed, thinking that the stated purpose of making a GALGAME was a chance to gain experience. Even if she couldn't draw manga, she could work as an artist for a GALGAME company.
As for Nanami, although she wanted to go and look after Mashiro, she had already registered for a voice acting training course and couldn't attend.
While Eri Sawamura was recruiting people everywhere, Rin Ito wasn't idle. The system-daughter was discussing with him how to give Kaede a sense of crisis.
[Mom has completely gotten used to it lately. This won't do... We must give Mom a sense of crisis. Does Dad have any ideas?]
To be honest, she was right. Kaede was verbally defiant at first, but ever since Rin Ito mentioned that her first time was with Suzu as an exchange, she became somewhat reckless. But now, Kaede seemed to be in a state of indifference. Furthermore, since she could watch everything through the surveillance system, what was initially a feeling of being cuckolded had now become an accompaniment to her masturbation.
[Mom's current mentality is that if Dad gets to enjoy it, he's lucky, and that she's not the one losing out, rather than the feeling of her boyfriend being taken.]
Rin Ito: [Let me think.]
Rin Ito thought for a while... He needed to give Kaede a sense of crisis. Kaede was so relaxed because she trusted him implicitly, believing he would never leave her, so she didn't react much to him dating other girls... Should he pretend to be completely charmed by someone else? No, that wouldn't work. Once trust is broken, it's too difficult to rebuild.
So, he had to give her a sense of crisis while Kaede still trusted him, and while she believed he wouldn't be stolen away. He wanted her to recapture that feeling of being cuckolded.
After thinking for a long time, Rin Ito came up with an idea.
Rin Ito: [Kaede's birth control sprites are set to auto-exchange, right?]
[Mhm. Ever since Mom became engrossed in masturbation once and forgot to exchange, it's been set to automatically exchange one birth control sprite whenever Dad fills up another girl.]
Rin Ito: [When she set it up, did you mention whether the auto-exchange would continue or stop if the system was upgraded or under maintenance?]
[No.]
Hearing the system-daughter's answer, Rin Ito had a plan.
Rin Ito: [Here's the plan... when we go to the island this time, you tell Kaede directly that the system is under maintenance and shut down the camera system. Don't let her watch!]
Rin Ito: [Then, I'll film videos and send them to her, specifically mentioning things like pregnancy... Of course, you still need to exchange the sprites for me. After all, except for Saho, they are all students.]
[Don's worry. I won't let any other girl get pregnant before Mom does!]
Hearing this, Rin Ito felt relieved. If they got pregnant, it would be a problem.
When Rin Ito and the system-daughter finalized their plan and opened the group chat, the number of members had increased significantly from the original three: Karen, Eri Sawamura, and Utaha.
Among them, the one who could give Kaede the strongest sense of crisis was... No, none of them could create a strong enough sense of crisis for Kaede.
Among the girls he was involved with, the one who could give Kaede the strongest sense of crisis was... Suzu!
