Chapter 3

**A Slave's Gloom** is chapter three of the first volume of the manga.

## Summary

As Yuuki Wakura cleans Shushu Suruga's room, she reads a romance manga, but is unimpressed by it and says swashbuckling movies are better. Irritably, Yuuki says she she should clean her own room, but Shushu tells him not to complain or else she'll show the incriminating photo of Yuuki peeping on Himari Azuma and Nei Ookawamura to Kyouka Uzen. Yuuki relents, but is tired of how hard Shushu has been working him. He spots a pair Shushu's panties on the ground and she teases him, seeing that he is quite embarrassed. He wonders if Shushu is okay with him touching her undergarments, but she says he should just think of them as any other article of clothing. Yuuki is content with her reply and picks up the panties, but Shushu takes a picture of him creating more "incriminating evidence".

Later, as Yuuki walks through the hallway, he wonders if he could get away with the peeping incident with Kyouka since it was just an accident. He then spots Kyouka and Himari locked in fierce combat training. A Shuuki then appears and Kyouka charges at it and defeats it barehanded. Himari is impressed by Kyouka's display, but Yuuki is terrified and decides he does not want to risk any misunderstandings with Kyouka. Yuuki is then approached by Nei who reports that she, Kyouka, and Himari will be leaving for a meeting soon, leaving just Yuuki and Shushu in charge of watching the dorm. Yuuki is dismayed, but Nei tells him that Shushu is a nice person. Yuuki is not convinced, though, as Shushu flashes him a mischievous smile.

Later, Yuuki gives Shushu a shoulder massage. He becomes increasingly frustrated and readies himself to tell her off, but refrains as he gets a view of her cleavage from his vantage point. Pleased by the massage, Shushu asks Yuuki why he is so good at it and Yuuki explains that he used to give massages to his sister. Shushu then informs Yuuki that she herself is the youngest of two sisters. Additionally, she never knew her father and went to an all-girls school and so hasn't had many opportunities to talk to a boy. Shushu confirms to Yuuki that this is why she became fascinated in him and decided to make him her slave.

With the massage done, Shushu has Yuuki play a fighting video game with her. She explains that it will be a penalty game and whoever loses has to remove one article of clothing. Yuuki is confident that he can beat her, but Shushu ends up beating him in several rounds, forcing him to strip down to his underwear. After defeating him once more, Shushu orders him to remove his boxers as she wishes to see a man naked, but Yuuki cautions her about the possible "danger" of him getting ideas in his head. Shushu laughs this off and grows to giant size, demonstrating that Yuuki is no physical threat to her. Shushu then sits on Yuuki and torments him before finally removing his underwear. She gets a good look at his genitals, but only laughs at how small and cute they are, greatly bruising Yuuki's pride.

Suddenly, the two hear a loud booming sound and they rush out to see a giant Shuuki attacking the dorm. Shushu leaps into action and activates her ability Paradigm Shift to grow as large the Shuuki. However, atop a nearby a cliff, unseen by Shushu, a large swarm of Shuuki lie in wait.
