"Ayano."

The cute maid turned her head towards the person calling out to her, and she felt a spike of joy from seeing that it was Masachika.

This was, like what, the fourth time in three days that he's approached her for something? And by something, it's mostly likely going to be about well-being and if she's doing okay.

One might say that he's going overboard with all his frequent questions and constant reminders about her health, but Ayano thought otherwise.

Before, Ayano maintained a respectable distance from him because of the social standing between them and out of respect for his personal space. Now, he was the one approaching her as of late while making constant strides to ensure that she was doing okay.

She would never complain about receiving this much attention from one of the people she admired above all.

"Yes, Masachika-sama?"

"Can we talk later tonight? Preferably when we're alone and everyone else is asleep. I'm afraid of someone else hearing what I want to tell you," he asked, rubbing the back of his head while making sure that no one was nearby right now.

Ayano held back the urge to ask if his statement included Yuki, because the answer was obvious. If Masachika didn't want anyone to know, then that's that. This mystery intrigued her though, and a part of her wanted to know what this was about right now.

"Certainly, Masachika-sama. Where do you want us to meet?"

"Just go upstairs to my room once the others get ready for bed. Make sure no one sees you coming. I'll be waiting for you."

"Understood. I will be there tonight, Masachika-sama."

"Great. See you later."

While she was curious about his choice for a meeting place, Ayano didn't question it. This must be a matter of great importance, and that's why he chose his room as their meeting place.

This is how Ayano ended up standing outside of the young man's room that same night; it wasn't hard to wait for everyone else to retire to their quarters, because immediately after they had their respective turns in the shower, the other girls decided that it was time to end the day.

Ten minutes after everyone went to their rooms, Ayano left hers to head upstairs where Masachika must be waiting for her.

She gave a gentle knock on the door, which was opened right away for her by the person inside.

"Good evening, Masachika-sama."

Ayano immediately bowed her head upon seeing him, while Masachika smiled at her.

"You made it. I was just about to ask myself when you're going to show up, Ayano. Come on in."

The young man gestured for her to come inside, and Ayano obediently followed him. He had prepared two chairs for them both before she arrived but instead of taking a seat like him, she simply stood by the bed as if that wasn't even an option.

Masachika decided to ignore it and move on with what he wanted to ask, "I know it's only been a few days since we last spoke and I'm sure that you've grown tired of me by now, but… are you feeling okay?"

"It is no bother, Masachika-sama. I am elated that you care about my well-being," she reassured. "And I am well. Thank you for asking."

"Just one look at her, and you can tell that nothing's changed. I wish it had never come to this…"

Ayano bore her usual stoic look, which is an obvious sign that nothing was wrong with her. But for Masachika, who had known her for years, this was only confirmation of what he had been dreading this whole time.

He sighed, "I see. By the way, someone else is coming."

Ayano blinked in surprise upon hearing that statement, while wondering who could be that individual.

"But I thought you wished for nobody else to overhear our conversation, Masachika-sama."

"That's true, but… she's like me. She cares about you as much as I do and this whole time, she's been worried. So I decided to include her," he explained, which piqued Ayano's curiosity even more.

Immediately following those words, the door opened again and a familiar face stepped inside the room, bearing a gentle smile on her face. After closing the door, she walked over towards them with her hands behind her back.

"Good evening, Ayano. Onii-chan~"

"Good evening, Yuki-sama."

Upon seeing that it was Yuki whom Masachika invited, Ayano didn't feel surprised. Matter of fact, she had a feeling that he was referring to his sister. But now that Yuki was here, it does beg the question of what this was going to be about…

"Well, now that we're all here, let's get started. Yuki?"

Both siblings shared a glance, which Ayano noticed. Were they planning something? Did they speak with each other beforehand? Was she the outsider in this?

Those would be questions for later because now, Yuki was standing right before her with a concerned expression on her face.

"Ayano, have you actually been following everything that Onii-chan and I have been telling you?"

The maid nodded, "I have always kept yours and Masachika-sama's words in mind."

"Is that so? Then tell me what it is that we've told you to do. Or what we've been telling you to do."

"That I should focus on what I need, Yuki-sama."

"Then why does it feel like nothing's changed from you? You've acted exactly the same as how you've always been. Just earlier, even though she never asked you to, you were planning to 'lend your assistance' to Alya-san when she was preparing lunch. It's a good thing that Onii-chan was there to take over instead, because it's the job that was given to him, not yours. Still, why did you do that?"

Unable to come up with a reasonable answer that was in line with what the two siblings wanted from her, Ayano simply told them the truth.

"Because it is a servant's duty to—"

"Didn't I already tell you that out here, you're not a servant? You're just like me and everyone else. Why can't you understand that?" she asked, cutting off the maid as she knew exactly what Ayano was going to say. "Do you want me to give it as an order just to make sure you do as I say, Ayano?"

She didn't say anything but in her mind, Ayano agreed. It would be easier if Yuki just ordered her to do so, because what she thought of as advice would then become a command that she had to follow no matter what.

For a maid like her, there was no need to think much when it came to following orders. There's only action and the sense of accomplishment from doing what's asked of her.

And so, Ayano waited for Yuki to say something. To put some truth in her statement and to give her the order she was waiting for.

However, it wasn't the heiress of the family that spoke next.

"It's pretty clear that despite everything Yuki and I told you, you still can't take our words to heart. Before, it was just friendly advice out of concern but now, I am putting my foot down, Ayano."

Ayano turned her head towards Masachika, who stood up from his seat and stood beside his sister, facing the maid with a stern expression on his face.

"From now on, you're not allowed to help anyone unless someone asks you to. Matter of fact, just focus on what you're supposed to do, which are repairs and medical aid. Is that clear?"

In any other scenario, Ayano would have immediately agreed. She was given something to do, and it was expected of her to follow obediently. However, this was an entirely different situation, in which both Masachika and Yuki were standing before her.

On one hand, Masachika gave her a clear order that she should follow. On the other hand, Yuki watched on silently and had no visible reaction on her face.

They weren't on the same page.

The two didn't have the same thing in mind.

And thus, Ayano couldn't answer right away. All she could do was shift her gaze between the two over and over, waiting for either Yuki to say the same thing or for Masachika to retract his statement.

But nothing of the sort happened.

"Can't say anything? I see why. It's because of Yuki, right? She's your master, not me. She's the one that you've followed through the years, and I understand that."

Masachika uttered those words like they were hard facts, because it's the only reason why a maid who was as dedicated as Ayano would even take more than a few seconds to give her answer.

"That is false, Masachika-sama. You and Yuki-sama are the same in my eyes."

"Really? But if it came down to it, in the instance that we gave you different orders, who would you follow?" he probed. "Me? The son who left the household? Or Yuki? The daughter who stayed with the family until now?"

Once again, Ayano was at a crossroads, having no idea what to say as an answer. Both siblings were people whom she would follow without hesitation, but she could have never foreseen a situation where she had to make a choice like this.

Still, he was right. She's been with Yuki more than him and the only times where she can even be by Masachika's side is when they're at school or whenever she'd visit his home with his younger sister.

"...I—"

"Don't bother answering, Ayano. It doesn't matter if you said my name, now that I've lost any privilege to be your master. I even lost the right to do anything I want…" Yuki chuckled nervously, cutting off the maid upon noticing how the question rendered her speechless. "...because I only follow Masachika-kun's orders now."

"Yuki-sama… please tell me what you mean by that."

As soon as that statement left Ayano's mouth, Masachika got behind his sister and began undoing the buttons on her shirt, while flashing a grim look on his face.

"Allow me to make things clear for you, Ayano. At the same time, let me show you what happened to Yuki not that long ago…"

"And you're fine with doing that? Have you no sense of shame at all, little sister?" he asked incredulously.

"Ayano and I have taken baths together, so it's not like it's anything new," Yuki shrugged, before letting out a soft gasp. "Oh dear, I'm not sure I was supposed to say that~"

From the expression on her face, it's clear that she wasn't taking this as seriously as he is. Either that or she was just confident in the crazy plan she concocted in her mind.

"Whatever," he huffed. "I still don't see any worth in doing this, even now that I know what you want to do. It sounds more like a cruel prank that only you could come up with."

"If Onii-chan has another idea, we can certainly do that instead. After all, you call the shots and I'm just your humble follower~"

"I don't have another idea, but I know that you can come up with something better than what you told me. Something that doesn't involve anything outlandish like what you just told me."

"I can concede that you're far more amazing than me, but I know Ayano better than you, Onii-chan. I know what she's like, and I know what will get her complete attention," Yuki argued calmly. "You might think it's just a joke, but I'm serious about all of it."

Masachika opened his mouth to say something, only to stop himself midway. That was one fact he knew he couldn't refute against, simply because his sister spent more time with the cute maid than him.

Heck, Ayano was around her almost 24/7!

"...still, there's two options for you to choose from. I'm fine with doing either one, but it's you who has to make the decision, Onii-chan. And I think you need to be quick with it, because Ayano won't be able to keep up that facade she has, especially if we remain stranded out here in the middle of the sea."

"Damn it…"

Masachika hated this. He hated how he was being presented with no other option in this scenario, but he hated the fact that Ayano herself pushed both him and Yuki into doing this more.

Things would be infinitely easier if she just followed what they've been telling her all this time. They weren't even ordering her around like what they would normally do.

But it seems like some habits really do die hard.

Ayano's eyes widened at the sight before her, shattering her stoic mask as it gave way to her shock.

Standing there was Yuki, clad in nothing but her underwear as a result of her brother stripping her of her clothing. Despite this, the Suou heiress bore a smile as if nothing was wrong and that this was a completely normal scenario.

"...Yuki was so miserable at the time that she was on her knees, begging me not to ignore her. And so, she became my loyal pet. A pet who can't decide anything on their own, and someone who you can't look up to. Because both of you are on the same level now, Ayano."

Masachika finished his little story by fastening a collar around his sister's neck, the same one that she made for him to use on her a month ago, earning a sigh of pleasure from the girl.

Ayano couldn't believe what she was hearing with her ears and what she was seeing with her eyes. It almost felt like a nightmare, because the Masachika-sama she knew would never do something like this… and to his own sister, no less.

"Is… that true… Yuki-sama…?"

"It's— ggrk…!"

Yuki tried to say something, but immediately choked on her words when Masachika pulled on the leash connected to her collar, adding a bit of pressure to her neck.

"Normally, you'd believe me without an ounce of hesitation but the fact that you had to ask Yuki if I was telling the truth, it just confirms it. You don't actually think of me as your liege. Well, not as much as Yuki, at least. She's the one who reigns supreme in your mind, but no worries, I understand why."

Ayano wanted to say something to argue against it, but she couldn't find it in her to put her thoughts into words.

"I can see that you'd like some proof that I'm telling the truth. Say no more," he shrugged and took a glance at his dear sister. "Yuki. Take off the rest and get down on the floor."

"As you wish, Onii-chan~"

Unable to contain her growing arousal, Yuki licked her lips hungrily as she took off her undergarments, throwing them to the side like they didn't matter. Now completely bare before her audience, Yuki got down on her knees and with her hands on her lap like an obedient pet.

It didn't bother Ayano much to see her master stark naked like this. What bothered her is the one making Yuki do this, because she couldn't understand why.

Her Masachika-sama was a kind and compassionate individual who would run around the world and back if there was an issue that involved the people he cares about. He was someone who would willingly put himself down if it meant saving Alisa from complete isolation!

What's more, she knew him as someone who loved his sister to death. Their bond as siblings was actually one of the things she admired about them, only for it to be nothing more than an illusion, apparently.

…all because of what she was watching before her.

"The person you thought of as your master gave up everything to me, Ayano. Every thought, every worry, and every burden, I carry all of it on my back now. Even the sin of doing this with my own sister, I will bring it with me to my grave. It was all for Yuki's sake and now, she's completely free of her troubles."

"You've been… doing this… with Yuki-sama… for how long…?

"Long enough. Yuki," he called out to his sister again as he faced her, his crotch mere centimeters away from her face. He pulled on her leash, making her look up at him. "You know what to do."

"I do~"

Yuki stared at him with eyes full of lust and love, while her hands worked to pull down his shorts and underwear, freeing his member from its prison.

He was already hard; the tense atmosphere and Yuki's obedience doing wonders to make him prepared.

Meanwhile, Ayano raised a hand to her mouth that was agape, as she completely fell victim to disbelief. Her face turned crimson because of the obscene act that was happening before her, only to look away when Masachika's erection came into view.

Because of this, she could only listen to the noises that came from the pair of siblings, particularly Yuki and the muffled moans that came out of her mouth.

"Do you get it now, Ayano? Your master couldn't stand on her own while we're stuck here but after giving herself up to me, she looks happier than ever."

Masachika turned his sole attention towards his sister for now, running his hand through her hair and guiding her head to do better in sucking him off.

"Time for your reward, Yuki."

After hearing that, the girl became faster in her movements; she sucked faster, while her fingers worked on rubbing and pleasing herself down there. This continued until Masachika reached his limit, where he dumped his hot fluids into her waiting mouth before pulling away.

"Thank you for the meal, Onii-chaaann~" Yuki opened her mouth with her tongue hanging out, both clean and showing no traces of his stuff anywhere.

This girl was really a freak to willingly swallow all of it… and in front of her maid, no less.

"You didn't spill any of it. Good girl," he patted her head affectionately, earning a purr from his younger sister. "Give me your ass."

While Yuki bent down on the chair she sat on and eagerly stuck her butt out for her brother to claim, Ayano only had one thought in mind while this was all going down:

"What… do I do…?"

MINASAN, YONDE KURETE ARIGATŌ! AISHITEMAAAAASUUUUU! *starts playing air guitar*
