I Received an NTR V*deo - Episode 26

“Hey, hey, hey.”
“Seriously? Are you serious right now?”
“Megumi’s pregnant… Isn’t that amazing?”
But Root Bird wasn’t thrilled because of the pregnancy. No—he was elated because this gave him the perfect chance to seduce Yujiro’s girl.
If he could keep swaying Megumi, he’d finally accomplish his original goal.
He wasn’t about to let this opportunity slip.
Thank you, God.
You really set this one up perfectly for me.

“Did you take a test?”
“Yeah. There’s no mistake.”
Though Megumi had supposedly ended things with Netori, fate was pulling them back together.
She was still lost, unsure of what to do—but Netori had already decided to make his move.
________________________________________
“You’re going to keep it, right?”
“Huh?”
“I’m honestly overjoyed. Maybe it’s a bit early to say this, but knowing we’re having a baby… it makes me want to cry. You’re going to have the baby, right?”
Netori wrapped his arms around her.
Megumi broke down in his embrace, tears falling in relief. After all the stress and fear of the past week, she finally felt accepted.
If I’d known this would happen, I should have talked to you from the start…
________________________________________
“But what about Yujiro?”
“Just break up with him. You can’t stay with him now.”
“But…”
“No ‘but.’ Be with me. Stay with me forever.”
Megumi sobbed harder.
She felt like she’d finally been saved.
If she went through with the pregnancy, staying with Yujiro wouldn’t be possible.
Choosing Netori—who said he loved her—might actually make her happier.
Maybe the transfer wasn’t a mistake after all.
________________________________________
Nestled against Netori’s chest, Megumi whispered:
“But… don’t you have a girlfriend?”
“Yeah, but it doesn’t matter anymore. The woman I love is going to have my child. I’ll break up with her. Besides…”
“Besides?”
Netori cast a somber look.
“…She’s cheating on me.”
“What? She is?”
He hesitated, clearly struggling with what to say, then glanced at Megumi with a loaded look.
She felt a chill run down her spine.
________________________________________
“Who… who is she cheating with?”
“It’s hard to say this, but… with your boyfriend.”
“Yujiro?!”
Megumi’s jaw dropped. Her hand flew to her mouth in disbelief.
________________________________________
“Yeah. He had you, and he still went after my girl. I know it’s not my place to judge, but it wasn’t just about betraying me—it was how he betrayed you.”
“…”
“I tried to talk to him, but it was pointless.”
“What did he say?”
Netori lowered his eyes, his voice filled with false regret.
“He told me, ‘It’s fine as long as no one finds out.’ Gross, right? As long as Megumi didn’t know, he thought he could keep dating you and sleep with my girlfriend too.”
Megumi’s mind began to race.
Yujiro had been distant lately. Maybe… maybe it really was because of another woman?
________________________________________
She was wrong, of course.
But in her shaken state, she started believing the worst.
________________________________________
Netori’s voice cracked as he started to cry.
“I hate this, Megumi. I can’t forgive him.”
“Netori…”
“Sure, I was seeing you behind his back too… but aren’t we the ones who were hurt in the end?”
“Victims?”
“Yeah. Don’t you think so? We’re the ones left wounded. You feel it too, right?”
“Maybe… We both cheated…”
Megumi’s thoughts were spiraling.
But since she herself was guilty, she felt oddly level-headed—able to see both sides.
________________________________________
“You chose her and cut things off with me. You were serious about her. And I was serious about you. That’s why I’m angry.”
“…”
“But Yujiro? He said it was fine as long as you didn’t find out. He even gave me hush money—50,000 yen. Here.”
He pulled the cash from his wallet and showed her.
Of course, the money was from blackmail, not Yujiro.
________________________________________
“Fifty thousand, just to cover up dating you. It’s disgusting. I wanted to confront him, but he ran off. By the time I thought about telling you, you had already chosen him.”
“I had no idea…”
Each lie from Netori fanned the flames inside her.
Megumi, forgetting her own wrongdoings, now saw herself as the betrayed one.
Netori could sense it.
She was nearly ready.
________________________________________
“Still, even though I want revenge, maybe the best revenge is just living happily.”
“Revenge…?”
“Yeah. I wanted to make him pay for hurting you. But let’s move forward. Let’s just be happy together—with our baby. Forget him.”
“The three of us… happy.”
“Exactly. I’m still angry, but if you’re happy, I’m okay. I’ll start working, even with just a high school diploma. Megumi, you’ll always be my top priority. If you really want revenge, I’ll help you. But I hope you don’t go down that path.”
Despite his words, he planted the idea: revenge.
Repeated enough, the thought took root.
________________________________________
“…What kind of revenge?”
“There’s no need. I get that you’re hurt, but revenge won’t help. He’s not worth it.”
“Still, I can’t forgive him. He played with my heart.”
“Wait… are you seriously considering it?”
“Depends on how.”
Got her, Netori thought, grinning internally.
________________________________________
“Well, maybe a video?”
“Video?”
“Yeah. He’s probably still hung up on you. If we send him proof we’re together—like a video—it might break him. I’d love to hit him, but I don’t want violence to affect you or the baby. But if it’s just a video… what do you think?”
“…”
“I don’t want to break you two up violently. I just want him to back off. If this is what you want, I’m with you.”
Megumi hesitated.
Netori’s seeming selflessness touched her—and reignited her rage toward Yujiro.
I can’t forgive him.
I can’t forgive the betrayal.
________________________________________
“We’ll be together forever, right? If we go through with this, we’ll do it as a team.”
“…Yeah.”
“Together forever.”
It echoed.
Those were Yujiro’s words once—but now they felt hollow.
She believed this all stemmed from his cheating, and the anger burned brighter.
They were laughing behind my back.
I’ll make him pay.
Megumi, her judgment clouded, nodded fiercely.
“Netori… Let’s get revenge.”
“Are you sure? You won’t regret it later?”
“No. Thanks for caring. You’re such a kind person.”
“Then I’ll respect your decision. We’ll do it—together.”

Before he knew it, Megumi had taken the lead.
And once she did, there was no turning back.
Netori smiled gently at her while mocking her silently.
Idiot. It’s all a lie.
She made it so easy.
Honestly, I wish we could’ve filmed it already.
Megumi’s face was flushed with fury.
And so, the plan to film a video for Yujiro began.

The next day.
The Root Birds gathered on the rooftop, as usual.
Yamamoto was there, and the group was laughing over nonsense.
Netori was in high spirits, listening in with a smirk.

“Hey, what happened to Shoji?”
“She’s been hanging with Koda lately. They’re getting close. But more importantly—Netori, you seem unusually chipper. Something happen?”
“Yeah.”
Everyone leaned in, curious.
________________________________________
“Did things go well with Koda?”
“Nope, not Koda.”
“Wait… you mean Higashi?!”
“Bingo. She finally let me take the video.”
Cheers erupted.
It was like they’d just won a championship.

“So, when are you sending it?”
“Let’s see… today’s Wednesday. Maybe Friday. That way, he’ll spend the weekend stewing. Perfect, right?”
“Savage. Watching that video will wreck him, and you’re making him sit on it all weekend without a word.”
“Exactly. You’ll tell us how it goes, right?”
“Of course. I’m finally gonna crush that bastard. He won’t know what hit him.”
Their eyes lit up.
The video would go out Friday.
And Netori’s grin was wicked with anticipation.
