After Practicing S*x With My Childhood Friend I Don’t Even Like, I Started Becoming Popular With Beautiful Girls. However, for Some Reason, My Childhood Friend Starts Acting Cold - Chapter 18 - Practice One More Time…

Chapter 18 – Practice One More Time…

After school, I left the classroom at once.

The destination is the back of the school building, where the decisive battle will take place.

Huh? It’s a suspicious letter from an unknown sender, so why don’t I just ignore it?

You idiot!

There is still the possibility of it being a letter from a very clumsy, beautiful girl!

That’s why I have to go, even if this is a trap…!

“Yosh, I’m here…”

Has the sender already arrived?

Without forgetting to be vigilant, I peeked out from behind the school building.

There was one girl there.

Even from the back, I can tell she’s a beautiful girl.

“That’s…”

“Ah, you’re here.”

The girl turned around as if she had sensed my presence.

Large black eyes with sharply defined corners.

Short, smooth black hair and petite body.

…A figure I recognize too well.

“Why is it you, Kohaku…”

I came out of hiding and said.

The sender, who was not at all who I had imagined, was a bit disheartening.

But when I think back on it, that one simple sentence really sounds like Kohaku.

I had unconsciously ruled out that possibility.

“What? Is that wrong?”

“No, not really/ It’s not wrong, but I’d like my innocence back.”

“Inno…cence… Eh?”

“Don’t tilt your head like that! I really am naive!”

You see, even now, just the thought of being able to touch senpai’s thighs next time makes me so excited.

It is no exaggeration to say that this excitement is the only thing that keeps me alive today.

“It couldn’t be helped.”

“What couldn’t be helped?”

“I don’t have Suzume’s contact details.”

“That’s because you didn’t need it! If you ever needed me, you’d just come to my house on your own!”

“…Kuku…”

She laughed! This girl just laughed with a very nasty look on her face!

“Sorry. I thought it might be interesting, so I sent you a letter.”

“Stop that, seriously.”

“Since we’re in the same school, let’s make the most of it.”

Because of Kohaku’s stupid game, the Little Devil, Saiai Kanade, became a despicable assassin in my mind.

Poor little thing.

I’ll make it up to her and never get involved again. I’ll die of guilt if I see her.

“Well? What do you want?”

It’s a pain in the ass, so let’s get on with it.

If I go back early, I might still be able to go for ice cream with Himesaki.

“I have something to tell you, I have a…request.”

“Yeah. Let’s hear it.”

“Yes…”

She nodded her head with an unusually serious face and looked up at me as if she had made up her mind.

“Hey, Suzume.”

“Yeah?”

If this were some other beautiful girl and not Kohaku, it would be like a confession scene.

Alone with a beautiful girl in the back of a school building, where no one is looking…

It’s the perfect situation.

But there’s nothing to be thrilled about now.

After all, Kohaku and I don’t have that kind of relationship.

Kohaku’s small mouth mumbled, she spoke slowly, clearly, and desperately.

“Just one more time with me… Let’s practice again.”

That’s right. Kohaku said that.

“Huh…? What? What are you saying? What does that mean…?”

“…It means what it says.”

“Are you joking again?”

“It’s not a joke.”

“Are we going to have sex again?”

“Don’t say it outright when people are being vague. That’s why you’re not popular.”

“I’m sorry.”

Seems like I have to be more lowkey.

From now on, I’m going to use “do it.”

“But I still don’t get it. I only agreed to it once. Any more than that… It’s different, isn’t it?”

I scratched my head and gave my opinion on her request which meaning I can’t read.

“No, doing it once or twice is the same.”

“There’s no way it’s the same. Stop joking.”

I want to assert just that much.

“What’s going on, Kohaku? Could it be something happen——”

“Then——!”

“——Eh?”

I was about to ask Kohaku if something had happened to her in the past few days when——Suddenly, Kohaku screamed in a burst of emotion.

“Then——what should I do!? I… I’m not joking…!”

“Hu-huuh…? First of all, tell me what’s wrong…”

“…Something’s strange with me…”

“Strange?”

Kohaku placed both her hands on her small breasts.

Her hands were trembling as if they were pressing down on her chest.

“When Suzume touches me…my heart pounds. It pounds, it pounds…and it doesn’t stop, to the point that my chest hurts. It really hurts. My face also gets hot. I can’t control my emotions. I’ve never felt like this before. Ever since that day, whatever this feeling is started happening… Even when we’re apart…this feeling still won’t go away…”

As if to let out her pent-up worries, Kohaku vented.

“It’s Suzume’s fault?”

“My…fault?”

Kohaku moved closer to me, step by step.

And then, Kohaku’s right hand drifted through the air, she, for the first time, touched me on her own accord.

A trembling palm was placed on my chest.

“…Let me check.”

That trembling voice, as if squeezed out, carried Kohaku’s emotions.

From the voice I heard, from the warmth of her palm, it was transmitted to me, compensating for my childhood friend’s lack of words…

“Just one more… Let’s practice. Please.”

While wandering through a maze of emotions, her black eyes never wavered, as if she had already made up her mind.

It continued to emit a dazzling sparkle.

Nothing has changed since that day on spring break.

“O-Okay… I got it.”

So all I could do was nod at this clumsy little girl’s request.
