Arc 1 – Episode 18: “Falling into the Abyss – Part 3”

Reading Settings

After parting ways with Aria-chan, I got back to my apartment, still irritated. I slammed the door shut and stepped inside.

I knew just how to blow off some steam, so I turned on my computer.

I pulled up the surveillance camera I secretly installed in Kyo-kun’s room, under the excuse of “security,” and watched Kyo-kun and Aria-chan.

Just as I was expecting some action with Kyo-kun, I noticed… his ‘thing’ wasn’t getting hard.

Weird.

Last night, when he was with me, it was rock-hard, and we did it over and over.

There’s no way he’s all worn out from just yesterday. There must be something else.

While I was thinking about it, Aria-chan started crying uncontrollably. Kyo-kun tried to apologize and comfort her, but she just wouldn’t stop.

That’s when I decided to head over, pretending I heard the noise from next door.

“Hey, could you keep it down? It’s getting pretty loud.” I said while ringing the doorbell, and Aria-chan’s sobbing stopped.

The door opened soon after, and there stood Kyo-kun, wearing loungewear, looking a little lost.

“Sorry for the noise.”

“It’s fine. Did something happen?”

“…Well…”

Once inside, Kyo-kun explained everything to me, looking all troubled—how he tried to sleep with Aria-chan, but his ‘thing’ just wouldn’t cooperate, which made her cry. All stuff I already knew.

“Am I… not attractive enough?”

Aria-chan was devastated.

It’s understandable she’d be shocked if she couldn’t connect with the person she loves, both emotionally and physically.  I mean, yeah, I’d be pretty upset too if I couldn’t connect with the person I loved but seriously, I can’t really relate since Kyo-kun and I are connected both ways.

“I wonder why it wouldn’t get hard? If you want, I could help test it~”

I jokingly said.

Kyo-kun’s face turned pale—probably scared our secret relationship would be exposed—while Aria-chan just stared at me with those dark eyes.

“Would you… really test it?”

“Huh? You serious?”

I was secretly thrilled but acted like I was checking if she was sure.

Aria-chan hesitated for a second, then nodded, almost desperately.

If Kyo-kun couldn’t get hard even for me, she could blame it on something emotional. And if he could, she might convince herself it wasn’t just about looks—maybe it was something else.

Deep down, this girl really looks down on me, huh?

Well, we both do that to each other, honestly.

Anyway, this was perfect for me.

“Alright, let’s give it a try,” I said, wrapping my arms around Kyo-kun from the side, kissing his cheek, and rubbing his crotch through his clothes.

And, just like that, Kyo-kun’s crotch started to swell.

“Oh? It’s getting bigger~”

“What?”

All three of us stared at his crotch in surprise.

…Could it be that Kyo-kun only gets hard for me? I’m happy, but also not happy about this strange feeling…

It’s like he’s got an invisible chastity belt, and I’m the only key.

Geez, if my fetish hadn’t twisted this way, I wouldn’t have to worry about him cheating. Well, it’s too late for that now. But I just thought of something good.

“Hey, Aria-chan. Do you still love Kyo-kun? Do you really want to have sex with him?”

“I…”

Aria-chan nodded without saying anything, perhaps out of embarrassment.

“If you don’t want to break up with Kyo-kun, I could help you~”

I offered, and a glimmer of hope appeared in Aria-chan’s eyes. But she remained silent, waiting for me to continue, unable to ask herself.

“Since Kyo-kun got hard because of me and not for you, I could just join in, don’t you think?”

“Ichigo, that’s—”

Kyo-kun tried to say something, but I silenced him by placing my index finger on his lips.

“In return, I still love Kyo-kun too, so let me borrow him occasionally.”

That way, I could openly flirt with Kyo-kun without deceiving Aria-chan anymore.

“We should consider Kyoichi-san’s feelings too…”

Aria-chan looked at Kyo-kun, clinging to the hope he would decide for her. But I wasn’t going to let that happen.

“No, Aria-chan. You need to make the choice. Don’t push the responsibility onto Kyo-kun.”

Upon hearing my warning, Aria-chan looked down, unable to answer. I approached Aria-chan and whispered in her ear.

“If you can’t decide, then I can just take him back, right?”

Hearing that, Aria-chan turned pale.

Yes. Aria-chan took Kyo-kun from me.

If she were to push the decision onto Kyo-kun, with the way she believes Kyo-kun still has feelings for me, he’d naturally refuse her.

In fact, he might just come back to me.

If she didn’t want that, then she needed to take control of the situation.

Honestly, I didn’t mind whichever choice Aria-chan made—to break up, to accept my proposal, or to reject it while staying with Kyo-kun.

If she chose to break up, I would just get Kyo-kun back sooner than expected, which wasn’t bad either.

If she accepted, I’d get to enjoy the play I desired with her approval.

And if she refused, I could tell her family, use sexual incompatibility as a reason, and eventually make her break up with Kyo-kun.

No matter how things turned out, I could deal with it.

“…Alright. Please… help me…”

Aria-chan finally made her choice, tears streaming down her face from her own shame.

Well, maybe Aria-chan really didn’t have much of a choice.

At this point, breaking up with Kyo-kun would contradict everything she’d done—to herself, to me.

If she broke up and I got back together with Kyo-kun, it would render her betrayal of me meaningless.

And if she refused my proposal, then even though she would still be with Kyo-kun in form, their relationship wouldn’t progress meaningfully.

They’d just end up in a hollow, purely formal relationship that would eventually fall apart.

But by accepting, she could be with Kyo-kun, alleviate her guilt toward me, and maintain the connection.

“Kyo-kun, are you okay with this?”

“…Yeah.”

Kyo-kun nodded, though he looked like he was being sold off, which only deepened Aria-chan’s guilt.

Long story short, with me clinging to Kyo-kun and getting him hard, Aria-chan and Kyo-kun were finally able to connect.

Of course, they used protection, as they should.

Watching them, I got so excited that even though I wasn’t involved, my brain flooded with dopamine.

Soon, Kyo-kun and Aria-chan finished.

Aria-chan, exhausted from her first experience and overwhelmed by how good it felt despite it being her first time, lay sprawled out on the bed.

Naturally. Kyo-kun had practically studied female anatomy with my body almost daily, so his skills were exceptional.

“Alright, it’s my turn now,” I said, pushing Aria-chan off the bed and hugging Kyo-kun from the front. I put a fresh condom on Kyo-kun’s ‘thing.’

“Wait, that’s…”

“You promised to share him with me too, remember?”

With my authoritative tone, Aria-chan was rendered speechless.

Hehehe… I’ll overwrite Kyo-kun’s body, which Aria-chan just tainted, with mine…

That’s right, let’s take this opportunity to do something I had forgotten about.

“Kyo-kun, I love you. So much.”

I declared my love to Kyo-kun loud enough for Aria-chan to hear.

It had been left in limbo when Aria-chan snatched him away from me.

This was partly to provoke Aria-chan, but it wasn’t a lie or an act.

I love him. I truly do.

Kyo-kun, whom I’ve cherished and nurtured since we were kids—my greatest masterpiece.

I will never let go of him, and I embraced Kyo-kun with that determination.

Despite everything that happened, this wasn’t just about my enjoyment; it was also a reward for Kyo-kun.

I doubt there’s another boyfriend in the world whose girlfriend lets him do this kind of thing with another girl.

“…Yeah, I love you too, Ichigo.”

Kyo-kun held me back and answered.

“Oh no, Kyoichi-san…!”

Seeing this, Aria-chan’s face was filled with despair, which gave me true satisfaction.

As Kyo-kun’s body was being overwritten with mine, Aria-chan wept uncontrollably.

However, I didn’t miss the slight excitement on her tear-stained face.

Aria-chan, your heart must be in pain, right? You must feel like you’re going insane. But just like sex, once you get used to the pain, it can start to feel good.

Welcome to the swamp on this side.

…

After it all ended, I continued hugging Kyo-kun, smiling.

“Hehe, that felt amazing. How was it for you, Kyo-kun?”

“…”

“Oh, are you embarrassed?”

“Kyoichi-san! Next, it’s my turn again!”

Aria-chan demanded a retry, trying to compete with me.

But too bad.

Kyo-kun’s out of stock for today.

I’ve bought him all up.

“Sorry, Aria-chan. I’m too exhausted from my first time to move. I can’t help you now.”

I made an excuse, refusing to assist.

In other words, without my help, Aria-chan couldn’t have sex with Kyo-kun.

In that moment, Aria-chan was once again devastated, and the hierarchy between me, Kyo-kun, and Aria-chan was established.

I’m on top.

Aria-chan is below.

Aria-chan thought she was just borrowing Kyo-kun from me, but instead, her brain was shattered as she realized I had taken him back.

Without even knowing he was mine from the start.
