“Now that everyone’s here, shall we begin?”

Silk Blonde’s pleasant voice, usually captivating to both men and women, filled the conference room. But today, everyone except Scarlet frowned, annoyed.

“Let’s just get this over with, Team Leader Silk. I have a work-related appointment with the reconnaissance team leader.”

“This important discussion is about the reconnaissance team leader. But if you’re that busy, you can leave. We’ll manage without you.”

“Ugh…! Th-Then hurry up and get to the point.”

Lapis Julie’s attempt to assert herself by emphasizing “our team’s” reconnaissance team leader failed. Silk Blonde held the reins of this meeting.

The brief exchange ended with Silk Blonde’s victory, and Lapis Julie, slightly deflated, closed her mouth.

The others, intrigued by the mention of Faster, also quieted down, their attention now on Silk Blonde.

“Hmm, good. Let’s begin.”

Silk Blonde, having secured everyone’s attention, erased her usual relaxed smile and spoke in a serious tone.

“Faster is starting to think the hypnosis app is strange. How bad are your performances that he’s actually questioning the app?”

Coming from Silk Blonde, who’d rushed to Faster’s office, calling him “Master,” while still under the supposed influence of the “hypnosis,” it was a ridiculous thing to say.

“Ugh…”

“Tsk…”

But Lapis Julie and Scarlet, also guilty of sloppy performances, couldn’t call her out. They just groaned and averted their gaze.

Ia Aris and Dr. Eme, who weren’t involved in the hypnosis act, just looked at the other three with envy.

I’m confident I wouldn’t get caught… Should I threaten Faster or something? No, that’s not it.

Ignoring their envious glares, Silk Blonde, inwardly relieved that she wasn’t the only one slipping up, lifted her chin smugly.

“It’s a good thing I was there, being spoiled by Faster. If it had been any of you, he would have seen through the act immediately.”

Silk Blonde’s shamelessness was astounding. But it didn’t matter.

What mattered to the others was the content of her words.

“W-What? Spoiled? By senpai?”

“What did you do with Faster? How did you manage to get him to… spoil you?”

Lapis Julie and Ia Aris took the bait, and Silk Blonde chuckled, looking down at them condescendingly.

“I told you, didn’t I? Faster spoiled me. I’m too embarrassed to explain how, so I won’t. Let’s just say we had a… deep emotional connection. Oh, is that too vague? Fine, I’ll give you a hint… he accepted me as family.”

“F-Family…”

“Faster? Accepted you? Ha, that’s a joke. Doctor! Bring a lie detector or something! We need to test her!”

“Scarlet Rate, I’m not your assistant. I have no reason to obey your commands. And you know lying about this will only hurt you.”

“Ugh…”

Lying about Faster in these emergency meetings was a bad idea.

If you lied, claiming something like, “Faster and I are dating now, so back off,” and then got exposed, you’d be ripped to shreds, metaphorically speaking.

They were all united in their hatred of liars. And they wouldn’t resort to physical violence. They’d attack you mentally, with cutting remarks like, “How insecure are you to make up such a pathetic lie?” or “Hee hee, are you that jealous of our relationship with Faster?” until you crumbled from shame.

Ia Aris, the only one who hadn’t been “hypnotized,” had once, out of jealousy and insecurity, blurted out, “W-Well, I’ve had sex with Faster!” and had been mercilessly mocked, earning the nickname “Crazy Bitch.”

After that, no one dared to lie.

Because of this precedent, Silk Blonde’s words were likely true.

“Hmph. I’m just telling the truth. How you interpret it is up to you.”

Everyone in the room knew what “family” meant to Silk Blonde. So, the moment she said Faster had accepted her as family, they couldn’t contain themselves.

Ia Aris was the first to speak.

“Ugh…! I-I was hugged by Faster without even being hypnotized! He even called me ‘Big Sister Ia’!”

“Wh-What? Faster called you by your name? I specifically told him not to call anyone but me by their name…!”

“Hee hee. While you were unconscious after having your… nether regions scorched by Faster, we were having a… heartfelt bonding experience. And that day, Faster and I formed an unbreakable bond. I can’t tell you what kind of bond… but you can use your imagination. Heh heh.”

Ia Aris and Faster were bound by the penthouse repair bill. It was, as she’d said, an unbreakable bond, at least until it was paid.

Scarlet, triggered by Ia Aris’s boasting, blurted out what had almost been her blissful demise earlier.

“Ugh…! Wh-What’s so great about that?! Faster held me so tight and sniffed me all over! Have any of you seen Faster with dog ears and a tail?”

“D-Dog ears? Faster wore that collar?”

“Collar? Oh, right, he was wearing a choker I hadn’t seen before. Was that yours, Silk Blonde? Hey, that collar is amazing!”

“H-How did you…!”

Silk Blonde’s smile vanished, replaced by a mixture of despair and rage. The red-haired bitch had experienced the dog collar play she’d missed out on.

“You weren’t supposed to see Faster with dog ears! Why…!”

Silk Blonde’s eyes even welled up, she was that upset.

Her amber eyes, now filled with fury, were fixed on the smug Scarlet. The mana radiating from her was almost palpable, a barely contained rage.

-Rumble…!

Even an A-rank Awakened would have trembled under her intense aura.

But in this meeting, expressing strong emotions was a sign of weakness, so Scarlet just smirked, adding insult to injury.

“Why? Because Faster and I are… close. Did you know Faster was so intoxicated by my scent that he bit and sucked on my neck? All you got were hugs and electric shocks. Too bad for you. He even left a mark!”

Scarlet, conveniently omitting the part where she’d been completely dominated by Faster, pulled her red hair aside, exposing her neck.

A clear bite mark was visible on her pale skin.

“See? This is the difference between you and me. Even if you combined all the time you’ve spent with Faster, it wouldn’t even be half the time I’ve spent with him. Experience matters, bitches. Know your place.”

Scarlet had a high win rate in these emergency meetings. She’d been “hypnotized” by Faster countless times, thanks to her constant antics.

And in this, the seventh and most fiercely contested meeting, she’d seen Faster with dog ears, been hugged and sniffed by him, and even received a bite mark, almost as good as a hickey.

“Ugh…”

“Tsk…”

“A rabbit with dog ears… It wouldn’t suit him as well as rabbit ears, but it would still be cute… Animal ears are always a win.”

Scarlet, smiling triumphantly, looked at the others, who were trembling with jealousy and resentment.

“So, shall we end this meeting? I have things to do. I need to edit the footage I took today.”

“F-Footage? What footage? What did you record?”

Silk Blonde, who’d taken the biggest hit today, asked, her eyes wide.

Scarlet chuckled, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, pointed at the second button on her coat, and replied,

“What do you think? Footage of Faster with dog ears, of course. I’ll send the video to the Doctor, as agreed. If the rest of you want a copy… bring me something I want.”

Scarlet’s high-cut bodysuit and long coat were custom-made by Dr. Eme. Before the outfit was completed, Scarlet had made a special request: “Install a camera in it, like an action cam.” The Doctor had agreed, on the condition that Scarlet share the footage.

That’s how Scarlet had obtained the video, “Faster with Dog Ears Sniffing My Neck.avi.”

This precious footage had secured Scarlet’s position as the protagonist of today’s emergency meeting, and everyone tacitly acknowledged her victory.

“W-Well, I kissed senpai…”

Everyone except one.

Lapis Julie’s bombshell declaration instantly changed the atmosphere in the room.

“…”

“…”

“…”

“What?”

The three defeated women stared at her, speechless, while Scarlet, previously the closest to victory, looked at Lapis Julie, her ears ringing.

But that question, born of disbelief, only led to a greater shock.

“I kissed senpai on the lips, and I… kissed his… penis. It’s called fellatio, I believe? It was my first time doing both, but… judging by how much he came, I think I did a good job. Heh heh…”

“This bitch!”

◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

 
-bzz…!!!

I felt a faint vibration, the kind only a highly sensitive person could detect.

This happened once or twice a month. Should I tell the Guild Leader?

“Well, they’ll figure it out if there’s a problem.”

It was nice and quiet. I wish this moment could last forever…
