"...it's been a few days since Ayano surrendered her… freedom to me. God, that's such a crazy thing to think about but so far, nothing much has changed."
While he was in the middle of checking the various furniture in the house for possible repairs, Masachika was also watching the interaction between a certain maid who now belonged to him and the woman who was the de facto leader of their group.
"Thanks for your help, Ayano-chan."
"You are most welcome, Chisaki-sama."
This week, it was Chisaki's turn to do a general cleaning and to help her with it, she asked Ayano if she was available. The maid agreed and because of that, they were able to get the job done in less than two hours, and before lunch.
"Speaking of which, you wanna help out with me and Kuze-kun tomorrow? We're gonna take the raft and try to haul some fish early in the morning."
If this had taken place a week ago, then Ayano's answer would have been something else. But due to… recent events, the cute maid's response was different from what others would normally expect from her.
"I'm afraid I must decline, Chisaki-sama. I realized that I have been working excessively and doing more than what is normally asked of me. If it is possible, I would like to focus on my everyday tasks for now," she bowed her head.
Masachika smiled, pleased with her reply.
"She's still the same in that there's almost no difference in how she acted before. She still helps everyone out because that's who she is, but not to the extent of basing her entire personality on that role."
"Ah, don't worry about it then! We can handle it on our own. Yeah, you should look out for yourself, Ayano-chan. We can't have you feeling tired or overworked, because we need each other more than ever."
"Thank you for understanding, Chisaki-sama."
Chisaki left the house after that, wanting to check on the well's current condition. This left Ayano and Masachika as seemingly the only people left in the house, because everyone else had left to attend to their respective roles in their little group.
"It's easier when I just give her orders, which she follows like it's a gospel. It's not what I wanted for her but sometimes, you have to make the best with the hand you're dealt with."
Ayano turned her attention towards him once it became apparent that they were the only ones left in the house, and she began heading his way.
"She looks the same when she's around the others, but it's a different story when she's away from everyone's eyes, because she would approach me and ask what she should do next. It's getting tiring at this point, honestly… I have to give her an order that she has to follow at every moment to keep her in motion, just like a robot… not too different from how she used to be, but still better."
"Masachika-sama, what do I do now?" she asked cluelessly, hoping for some direction from her master.
The young man sighed and stood up so he could address her properly.
"Just do what you normally do, or take a break if you need it. I'll be seeing you tonight in my room. Seriously, that's all I expect from you as of now and the coming days. When I want you to do something else, I will tell you right away."
"Very well, Masachika-sama. I shall take a rest in my quarters until it is time for lunch."
Although she had her usual stoic expression, a hint of excitement could be seen in her eyes after learning that he wanted her to be present in his room tonight.
Ayano could already feel her lower regions trembling in desire, but she forced herself to remain calm.
Yes, her Masachika-sama can make her feel this way, but it wouldn't do any good to give in to her hormones this early!
Or maybe it would… if it meant he would punish her for being a naughty maid— no, no! No, bad Ayano! This isn't how a proper servant should act! She shouldn't be thinking ahead of her master when it comes to this!
"I must stay in control of myself, I must stay in control of myself…" she repeated over and over in her mind, squeezing her thighs together to keep her urges down.
Masachika watched as the maid went upstairs, before retreating into his mental space as a sudden thought came to his mind.
It's been bothering him ever since he took Ayano's purity and for a while, he tried to chalk it up as the jitters from having sex with another girl. It's either that or being overwhelmed from Ayano swearing her loyalty to him and only him, actually.
But deep down, he knew that neither of those reasons were true.
He stopped having the jitters ever since he did it with Alya. Why would he even be nervous at this point? He had done this with his own sister, with a girl who was suffering from isolation, and with both at the same time.
As for Ayano swearing her loyalty to him, this isn't the first time she's done it. He was once her liege in the past, him and Yuki, when he was still part of the Suou family. The only difference this time is that he's the only superior she has.
No, what bothered him was something that confused him as well.
"Having fun with Ayano?" a familiar voice called out to him, snapping him out of his thoughts. "I know, I know… it feels really good to have your own personal maid. I used to have one and I really enjoyed having her around. Too bad I didn't get to do some fun stuff with her while she was still with me~"
He turned his head to see Yuki and Alya approaching him. Because of how the former mentioned Ayano, there's no doubt that they were watching the entire time… and he wouldn't be surprised if they were.
"Very funny…" he rolled his eyes at his sister's antics. "If you were trying to get a reaction out of me, it didn't work."
"Boo," Yuki pouted for a moment, before flashing a teasing grin. "Anyway, you must be feeling really good right now, Onii-chan. You added another girl to your seemingly-growing harem~"
Alya's eyes grew wide in alarm. "H-Harem…?! Masachika-kun's harem?!"
"It's just a neat little observation I made, nothing more. No need to take it seriously, Alya-san."
That didn't do anything to calm the other girl down, who began to think of their entire arrangement exactly how Yuki described it to be… which made Alya blush deeply upon doing so.
"Can I be honest with both of you?" he asked, ignoring everything else and focusing on the thing that was bothering him until now.
Both girls shared a glance, noticing the shift in his demeanor and wordlessly agreeing that they should hear him out for now.
"Of course, Onii-chan."
"Absolutely, Masachika-kun."
He took a deep breath, "I used to have doubts about it, but there's no denying it now. I realized it the same night when I did it with Ayano. This feeling… of being in control… the one who's giving orders… I didn't want it at first. But as the days and weeks passed, I found myself getting used to it."
He sat down on one of the couches and leaned forward, deciding to share what he was thinking about with the girls. There shouldn't be anything wrong with that, right? They were here to listen, plus they gave him their word.
"Back in school, we just mind our own business and we have our own lives to attend to. Heck, I'm just a member of the student council there, but things are different around here. Everyone is relying on one another to survive and so far, we've done that as a group. But it's a bit different for just us. The two of you and Ayano… you're all depending on me far more than how much everyone else does towards each other."
"Masachika-kun, what exactly is this about?" asked Alisa, curious about where this discussion was heading towards.
"Is it… wrong that I feel happy about the three of you relying on me? And I'm not talking about sex. What I mean is the fact that I'm the one you trusted enough to help you."
Masachika was well-aware of his own teenage hormones and how they served to fuel his sexual desires whenever he had sex with these girls. In fact, he was already having a hard time ignoring his hormones before this whole thing, simply because he was surrounded by women and he was the only man around.
Seriously, only a fool would actually resist their own urges in the presence of these beautiful girls, even if one of them was his younger sister.
However, it didn't mean that he wasn't in full control of his actions.
As enjoyable as the sex is, what he valued more was their safety and mental stability. Yuki came to him when she needed him the most, while Alya was wordlessly begging for help the entire time.
Out of pure concern and genuine care, he gave them what they wanted, and he felt joy from doing so. Thanks to his actions, they were both happy and seemingly didn't care about being stranded on an island anymore.
Yuki raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong with that? If anything, I'm surprised that you're not tired of us yet."
"You're not in my position, Yuki. But I'll concede that you were right. While we're all trying to make it through this altogether, I have several lives on my hands. You, Alya, and now, Ayano. It's up to me to make sure you're feeling fine and protected. I have a lot more on my shoulders now, other than making sure everyone gets back home."
Alisa bit her lip. "Are you… struggling to care for all of us, then?"
"No. It's… actually the opposite. I feel… satisfied about all this. It puts a smile on my face that you have this much faith in me. It doesn't bother me that there's three of you who are depending on me for this, but I want to know how you feel about it."
Upon hearing that, Yuki didn't hesitate to walk over and stand before him, bearing a beautiful smile that could make any man swoon… even him.
"You already know how I feel, Onii-chan. Whatever you decide to do, I'm on your side. If you want to stay here, I'll stay with you. If you want to go home, I'll support you as well. I'll be with you until the end, because you're my brother and I'm your cute and loving sister!"
Yuki smiled brightly at him, which he returned in no time at all. His little sister really had a way with words, and she knew exactly what to say to him that would make him satisfied.
On the other hand, Alisa approached him before prostrating herself, which surprised him for a moment.
"I made a mistake that I will regret for the rest of my life, Masachika-kun… and that was hurting you. All things considered, you had every right to be mad at me for it. You had every right to ignore me afterwards. You had every right to leave me be and never talk to me again… but you still showed concern for me. You… were still willing to help me in spite of everything I did. I am fortunate that you still care for me. For that, I am yours. My heart and body belongs to you and you alone, Masachika-kun."
Alisa straightened herself so that she was only kneeling, before raising her head to look at him. A tearful smile took over her features, and Masachika answered her declaration by patting her head affectionately, earning a mewl of pleasure from her.
Yuki watched them with a smile before looking away, feeling satisfied with how things turned out for her brother so far.
"Everything's going well for Onii-chan, and he looks happy. It doesn't seem like we've reached the final stage just yet, but he's getting there. Soon, his dream will be a reality."
"So Yuki… are you happy now?"
The girl could have sworn she heard a pin drop as soon as Masachika asked her that question.
"E-Eh…? What do you mean, Onii-chan?" she asked, slowly turning to face him.
"What do I mean…? I'm talking about the advice you gave me. You're the one who wanted me to take Ayano as well, and you got what you wished for. You wanted me to be fine with this whole harem setup, right?"
Masachika narrowed his eyes, making Yuki gulp nervously.
"I still don't have a damn clue why you're doing this or what your real plan is. But at this point, I don't care. You got what you wanted, isn't that nice?"
"OH SHIT, OH SHIT! HE CAUGHT ME! HE REALIZED I WAS TRYING TO MANIPULATE HIM!" Yuki began panicking in her mind, as she quickly thought of what to say in order to defend herself. "Y-You got it all wrong! You're overthinking this! I-I wouldn't even dare to do that to you, Onii-chan! I wouldn't do anything like that! I told you that I'm on your—"
Her words fell on deaf ears when Masachika stood up and began walking towards her, and that's when she knew… that she was screwed.
She began waving her hands as well, already fearing the possible worst punishment to come to her.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please for—!"
However, to her complete disbelief, Masachika just stood in front of her while placing his hands on her shoulders. Despite that, her body froze completely as though she had been caught doing a crime.
"You look like you're on edge. What are you so afraid of?"
"U-Uhm… the thing is, Onii-chan… I…"
"You did try to manipulate me. You're not yet forgiven for that," he clarified.
"I-I'm sorry…" she smiled nervously.
"That being said, I'm in a pretty good mood right now. I got that whole thing off my chest, and the issue with Ayano was resolved as smoothly as possible. That couldn't have happened without you, so I'm grateful."
"Ahaha… so you're… gonna reward me with a punishment…?"
He shook his head, "Nope. I'm just going to give you a perfectly normal hug."
Yuki's jaw fell.
"...HUUUUHHHH?!"
"You give me a lot of headaches, but you also helped me with several problems while we're here. And I can't really stay mad at my own sister."
Just as he was about to lean in for an embrace, Yuki shook her head furiously.
"Hold it, hold it…!" she cried out. "You don't have to be gentle at all, Onii-chan! You can be mad at me! I-In fact, you can punish me however you want! You can fuck my brains out whenever you want, even if you don't say anything!"
Masachika frowned, "What's with your attitude? Is it wrong if I want to be gentle with you for once?"
"N-No, it's just… when you said that I tried manipulating you and that you're going to look over it, I…" she looked away in shame, to the point of covering her face with her hands. "...feel so awful about myself…"
Masachika stared at her, letting her words sink in for a moment. A part of him considered it, just for the fact that Yuki went against what he said before but ultimately, he shrugged.
"—point taken, but I don't really care about what you think. Just don't do it again, or I will really get mad. So come here."
Yuki actually tried to move away, but Masachika's arms wrapped around her faster. She flinched at his touch and even grew nervous from the hug, which he noticed right away.
"You're really tense. Maybe this could count as your punishment, you little gremlin. Who knew that a simple hug would get you to react like this? The same girl who's been crazy about sex this whole time? I thought you love hugs?" he teased.
"Y-Yeah… hehe… who knew?" Yuki blushed deeply, finally deciding to wrap her arms around him as well, albeit in an awkward manner.
"—and also ironic. It was you who instigated a hug when you first came to my room that night."
A smile began forming on Yuki's face, remembering that night fondly. That one moment changed their relationship forever and she would never regret what happened.
"But you were the one who hugged me first like this. With how much of a siscon you are, I wonder why you never thought of fucking me sooner." she spoke after a while, regaining her fire and going back to her usual personality.
"I'll say this. The package is cute and tempting, but the contents are messed up. I would never think of opening that if I can help it."
"Hehe… I am who I am, my lovely Onii-chan~"
As she watched the silly but heartwarming exchange from the two siblings, Alya couldn't help but smile out of amusement.
For once, she got to see the always smug and mischievous Yuki get embarrassed and be put in her place at the same time, by the same man whom they had chosen to follow with their lives.
Other than that, seeing Masachika show kindness to his sister even after her grave mistake gave her a bit of déjà vu… it reminded Alya of herself and her previous attitude towards him.
"It's one of my biggest regrets that I did not see how kind Masachika-kun is… I took what I had for granted. And now, all I can do is be a good pet for him… because he's all that I have left… especially because Masha wants nothing to do with me anymore."
Alya thought about her older sister who, for some reason, went from avoiding her to pretending she didn't exist at all.
It had been like that for over a week now and while Masachika swore that he would get Masha to talk to her again, Alya had all but accepted it at this point…
