"My father-in-law has sabotaged me. His previous hints were meant to subtly assist us, such as suggesting the two of you go on vacations so that I could have some alone time with Iroha."
"But now, this sudden suggestion—it's just so tactless."
Chisato hoped there might still be a chance for remedy as he continued reading.
[In the following period, you continuously sought opportunities to break through Iroha's psychological defenses but to no avail.]
[Most of the time you spent together, she interacted with you in a manner that resembled ordinary family interactions, like typical siblings.]
[After graduating from high school, you chose a university close to home with the aim of maintaining frequent contact with Iroha.]
[However, by her senior year of high school, Iroha's social circle had expanded significantly.]
[She either went to friends' houses when you were home or stayed in her room with the door closed, deliberately resisting contact with you.]
[Despite your efforts, whether overt or subtle, you were unable to advance your relationship.]
[The Isshiki couple noticed the discord between you and Iroha.]
[Mrs. Isshiki even came to your room multiple times for heart-to-heart talks.]
[She acknowledged your excellence and advised you not to rush.]
[Both she and Mr. Isshiki wished for you and Iroha to be together, but Iroha was still too immature to view her daily brother as a life partner.]
[You nodded as you usually did, which reassured Mrs. Isshiki.]
[However, internally, you weren't as optimistic.]
[Over the years, you came to realize that conventional methods couldn't bring Iroha back to you, and even with the Isshiki couple's support, the situation wasn't improving.]
[Iroha had matured; she had her own thoughts and opinions and was no longer the naive girl who could be swayed by simple games or fitness routines.]
[Realizing this, your inner turmoil grew daily.]
[One night, after drinking alone in a corner at a classmate's gathering, you were temporarily relieved of your worries.]
[On your way home, you passed by a station where a timid woman approached you and called your name hesitantly.]
[Turning to look at her, your distant memories and her face slowly merged.]
[You recalled that she was a girl from the same orphanage you attended as a child, named Nakakita Miri.]
[You remembered using a small whip to lightly tap her backside, an expression she had made that left a deep impression.]
[You gently called her name, and Miri, pleasantly surprised, moved closer. In her eyes, you saw unmasked excitement and overflowing affection.]
[That night, instead of going home, you went to an izakaya with Miri and continued drinking until late.]
[Afterwards, you went to a hotel where you both spent the night on a large bed, examining each other's bodies and talking until dawn.]
[The next morning, Miri awoke in your arms, exhausted but content.]
[She confessed her feelings, saying that meeting you again among so many people was fate, and she hoped to date you with the intention of marriage.]
[Looking at the red marks on the bed and her fair, delicate skin, you decided…]
[1. Miri seems quite lovely as well.]
[2. Forget about being boyfriend and girlfriend. You, sow, call me Master.]
[3. I still can't forget Iroha.]
It seems that this has ended, with a second female lead even appearing and things escalating to a point where mutual examination of bodies has occurred.
Chisato sighed quietly, realizing that this situation was a complete loss due to a single misstep.
His mindset had deteriorated, and he chose the second option, seeking the most immediate amusement.
[Driven by your inner desire for dominance, you coldly grasped Miri's chin, berating her as a sow and demanding that she call you Master.]
[To your surprise, Miri's face flushed with excitement, and after a brief hesitation, she complied with your commands.]
[Seeing her ingratiating and submissive demeanor, some feelings that had been buried in the warmth and harmony of the Isshiki home were rekindled.]
[You recalled the dogs you used to torment as a child. Simply tying them up kept them from doing as they pleased, forcing them to act within the limits you set.]
[You realized that your relationship with Iroha had deteriorated because you had indulged and pampered her too much. She had a world too broad to be controlled.]
[If you could find a way to cage the soaring canary, it would never escape your sight again.]
[However, human society is constrained by "laws," and overly straightforward actions could lead to unnecessary trouble.]
[Moreover, you knew that if you harmed Iroha, the Isshiki couple would be the first to hold you accountable.]
[Therefore, what you needed to do next wasn't to forcibly cage the canary but to make her willingly enter the cage and close the door behind her, with no hope or expectations of the outside world.]
[In your mind, a plan gradually took shape.]
[At the same time, you completed the task of examining Miri's mouth.]
[You removed your fingers from her mouth and wiped the residue on her increasingly flushed face, telling her that from now on, you would be considered boyfriend and girlfriend to the outside world.]
What about internally?
[Miri didn't ponder much.]
[She eagerly climbed in front of you, hoping for a more thrilling "reward" similar to what happened the previous night.]
[Your face displayed a devilish smile unlike any before, and you reached out your hand to give her a firm slap on the backside.]
[A week later, you brought Miri home. Facing the surprised Isshiki couple, you tightly held Miri's hand and deliberately announced your relationship in front of Iroha.]
Ah, this…
Have I become corrupted?
The situation took a turn Chisato hadn't anticipated, racing in an unexpected direction.
