Yukinoshita was studying by herself in the library.
As a woman blessed with a system, she naturally became aware of what her boyfriend and Isshiki were doing in the student council office.
To be honest, she had been pretty angry at first.
Isshiki had actually dared to humiliate her boyfriend like that—sitting on his back, and even… even stepping on his shoulders with her feet!
That was way out of line!
That brat Iroha seriously needed a spanking!
But.
While she very much wanted to beat Isshiki up, what surprised Yukinoshita even more was her own boyfriend—Hikigaya.
Good grief.
Even though it was because of Isshiki's threats that he was forced to compromise, wasn't he being a little too submissive? He barely resisted at all.
Worse yet… his "Corruption Level" even went up a little.
Unbelievable!
Yukinoshita sulkily flipped through the pages of a book.
Could it be that Hikigaya actually liked being treated like that by a girl?
Wait a minute!
No way he's a masochist, right?!
"Emmm… if that's the case, then maybe I should try that on Hikigaya-kun sometime…"
She muttered under her breath, a blush creeping across her cheeks.
Stepping triumphantly on her dear husband's face, making him obey her every whim like a loyal servant… Ughhh, just imagining it sent a thrill down her spine!
"This weekend… I have to give it a try."
Yukinoshita made up her mind, her heart beginning to race with anticipation.
Ahem ahem!
Of course, her personal interests were one thing.
The real issue right now was between Hikigaya and Isshiki.
Her boyfriend getting stepped on by that girl like this couldn't go on—she needed to help him reclaim some dignity.
"Can the Force Intimate Card be used to make Hikigaya-kun… accidentally kiss some important part of Isshiki?"
Yukinoshita asked curiously.
[At its current level, the Force Intimate Card can't do something that advanced. Host, stop trying to exploit loopholes.]
Yukinoshita let out a sigh.
[However, you can still use the card to deepen their bond. If Isshiki Iroha starts feeling shy and flustered like a proper girl, there's a chance your boyfriend might naturally kiss her in the moment.]
"Shy like a girl?"
[Isshiki Iroha is a girl, after all. When she saw you and Hikigaya this afternoon, she was honestly a little stirred up. She wants that kind of intimacy too. But Isshiki isn't someone who only thinks with her lower half—she's capable of self-restraint. All you need to do is break down that restraint, and she'll naturally fall.]
Yukinoshita's face turned bright red, her legs instinctively tensing up.
Ugh, so embarrassing.
That thing with her boyfriend earlier in the day—Isshiki had seen it! How was she ever going to look her kouhai in the eye again?
[Host, would you like to use the Force Intimate Card now?]
"…Y-Yes. Let's use it."
After a few seconds of hesitation, Yukinoshita decided to go for it.
Step by step.
This had to happen sooner or later.
If she didn't act now, the opportunity might slip away for good.
[Ding! Forcing Force Intimate Card activation…]
[Ding! Hikigaya Hachiman grabs Isshiki Iroha's little foot and gives it a firm kiss. 150 points rewarded.]
"Wait, what?! Her foot? Why not somewhere more… normal?! Feet smell bad, okay?"
Yukinoshita fumed.
[Your boyfriend, Hikigaya Hachiman, didn't mind at all. Why are you getting so worked up?]
"Ah?"
Yukinoshita was momentarily speechless.
Her boyfriend… really didn't mind?!
Ugh.
Actually… it even looked like his affection level for Iroha had gone up a bit.
Nani?!
Yukinoshita's lips twitched as she snapped irritably, "Perverted foot freak Hikigaya-kun! If you like feet that much, then next time you can try mine!"
---
Meanwhile, in the Student Council President's Office—
"Waaah! You—You pervert! You actually kissed my little feetsies?!"
Isshiki's face turned crimson as she pouted and glared at Hikigaya.
She had already pulled her delicate foot back and was now hugging herself tightly, trembling like a frightened kitten, looking at him as if he were some kind of deviant predator.
"Uh…"
Hikigaya slowly got to his feet, wanting to say something but not knowing where to start.
Honestly, even he was stunned. He had no idea why he did that. Had he really started seeing Isshiki as a stand-in for his little sister, Komachi?
He had fantasized about kissing Komachi's adorable little feet once or twice—just fantasized, of course. Even if his sister said it was okay, he'd never actually do it.
Ahem.
"Your foot was getting a bit too unruly just now. I had no choice but to do that to stop it. Otherwise, would you have put it down?"
Hikigaya said with an unnervingly calm expression, "I mean, who in their right mind would want to kiss your stinky feet?"
"???"
Isshiki nearly exploded on the spot, stamping her foot furiously.
"They're not stinky! You—you kissed my little feetsies and now you're insulting it?! You're the worst, senpai! Ugh, you're making me so mad!"
"Er… if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
"You're not going anywhere!"
Isshiki, still barefoot, blocked his path.
"…Didn't we just finish?"
Hikigaya groaned.
"Hmph… do it again! Kiss my little feetsies again!"
With that, she extended her bare foot toward him.
"Eh? You're seriously asking for that?"
"Hmph! You called it stinky, didn't you? Well then, senpai—why don't you take a good long taste of this 'stinky little feetsies!'"
Isshiki refused to back down.
"This…"
Looking at the dangerously manic glint in her eyes, Hikigaya sighed and nodded.
"…Fine."
"That's more like it~"
Isshiki beamed, pleased with herself, and motioned for Hikigaya to sit on the sofa. Then she smugly placed her little foot on his thigh.
"Here you go~ Kiss my little feetsies~" she said with a triumphant smile.
Hikigaya hesitated slightly, then picked up her foot.
But—
Because he was sitting and Isshiki was standing, his sharp eyes suddenly caught sight of something very… significant.
Noticing his gaze, Isshiki flushed beet red and snapped:
"Sen-Senpai! Where are you looking?! Y-You're not planning to kiss somewhere else, are you?!"
Pulling his eyes back, Hikigaya took a deep breath and calmly said:
"You might want to hit the restroom first. I think you, uh… kind of need to go."
"???"
Isshiki froze like a statue.
"You… you saw that?"
"Eh?"
"You saw it, didn't you?!"
