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 42 - The Real Me
Chapter 42 – The Real Me
Once the raffle was over, it was almost time to end the party.
Since I had less work to do, I took advantage of the opportunity to take a break.
I went out the back of the gym to get some air.
It was late at night and the area was lit by dim streetlights.
A cold lingering spring breeze brushed against my cheeks.
“Ah, being alone is wonderful…”
Even if I’m in the gym, I’ll just be standing around like a loner anyway, so this is calming.
“Loner…? Me…? Haha…”
Oops, I’m going to rekindle those days when I should have graduated.
My sealed right hand is tingling, whoa…
…It’s not like I’m mad or anything just because I wasn’t the one surrounded like the others!
I’m not happy to be surrounded by younger people who are still developing.
I’m a super healthy guy who loves girls with big boobs and plump bodies.
Well, let’s just rest my body out here for a while, soaked in this tingling and the darkness of the night.
And at that moment,
“——!?!?”
Another shadow, no two, appeared in the darkness behind the gym.
The moment I realized, I hid myself in the bushes.
The two shadows stopped just where I was.
“That’s…”
When I focused my eyes, what I saw was Kohaku and Tachibana Ai, Tachibana-senpai’s younger brother.
It may be that the welcoming party is coming to an end and they are finally settling things together.
“Why am I hiding…?”
This is like voyeurism.
Peeping in places other than the women’s bathroom is a disgrace to life.
But now that this has happened, I don’t think I can make any move…
I decided to shut up and watch what was going to happen.
“Is this place good enough?”
“Yeah. First of all, thank you for taking the time for me.”
“No, not at all. S-so, what did you want to talk about…”
Kohaku seems uneasy, perhaps because she’s nervous about being alone with the boy, or confused about the fact that the boy is her ex-boyfriend, even though only for a few days.
“Right. I’ll speak quickly.”
In contrast, Ai is calm and composed.
He seems to be a different person from the one I had talked to. Is this what a determined man looks like?
“I like you.”
“That’s… But we already broke up…”
“Yeah, that’s right. But what I’m about to tell you is different from that.”
“Eh…?”
“I found a different kind of relationship. A different kind of emotion.”
Ai continues to talk confidently, but a question mark appears in both my and Kohaku’s heads.
That’s probably because Ai’s way of talking was so different from ‘The ex-boyfriend who couldn’t let go of the feelings’ we had imagined.
“When I first saw you, I knew I had met my destiny.”
“Destiny?”
“I thought you were pure, beautiful, cute, like an angel. In fact, you quickly became known as an angel by everyone. That’s why I misunderstood. Amidst my overlapping feelings, a sense of discomfort was accumulating.”
Ai smiles self-mockingly.
“The real destiny I met was not the you like that. Deep within those gentle eyes, there was always something dark burning. A heart as sharp as a blade was shaking. The way you reject everyone is the flip side of your fear of people, but it’s still your strength. Behind the layers of your mask, there is a strong yet vulnerable you who never wavers.”
“Tha-that’s…”
Kohaku was confused and backed away.
“You can rest assured. I just happened to notice that we were a bit alike in our determination to change.”
“That’s why it’s not so easy to see beyond that mask,” Ai said, smiling gently.
It’s a strange feeling.
Not me, but the person who was in a relationship with my childhood friend for just a few days is trying to understand her more than I do.
“I saw that true you, looked at you again, and I realized. My true feelings. The real relationship I wanted with you…”
Ah, maybe this is fine.
I think I can trust Ai to take care of it.
Like this, even without delving into Kohaku’s true feelings, Ai can understand that quirky cat so well.
If I leave it to Ai, Kohaku’s wish will surely come true.
“Nekomura-san.”
“Y-Yes.”
Called by Ai, Kohaku straightened her posture.
Ai then bent at the waist, folding down all the way to his knees and sitting on the ground.
…What?
“Nekomura-san, no… Master.”
Ai got down on his knees and rubbed his head against the ground.
And then…
“Please make me your pet!”
Ai shouted courageously from the depths of his heart.
………
……
…
After a few seconds of silence,
“”Huh……?””
An honest murmur escaped me and Kohaku’s mouths.
I rushed to cover my mouth, but it seemed to have overlapped with Kohaku’s, so the two didn’t hear it.
Feeling relieved, I kept watching the conversation that had suddenly taken off in an unexpected direction.
I could see Kohaku’s eyes slowly dying.
It’s like looking at a piece of filth.
“Ahhhh! That! That’s it! More! Please look at me with more disdain!! Pierce me more with those sharp, burning eyes, aaaaahhhhhh!!!”
“Ew… Gross…”
“Ahhhh! Tha-thank you so much!”
Ai writhed as if in agony.
There is no longer a determined man there. Just a perverted, twisted man.
Can I go away now please…?
But in many ways, I can’t move.
I’m sorry, Tachibana-senpai.
I never expected something like this to happen. I never would have thought that the boy who was talking about his first love so innocently was actually a masochistic pervert.
However, it seems that I have encouraged his perverted mind. I have caused your brother to take the first step towards becoming a pervert.
But allow me to shout just this,
I-It’s not my fault, okay!?
“Ah, that’s right! Plea-please step on me! Step on me with your foot!”
“Eh…”
Kohaku shuddered in horror at the unexpected suggestion.
“Come on! Come on! Don’t hold back! Do it quickly, come on! I’m ready anytime, do it!”
“O-Okay…”
Unable to resist Ai’s urging, Kohaku took a step closer.
Then, with a shudder, Kohaku placed her small foot on Ai’s body.
“Harder, please!”
“Li-like this…?”
“Yes! More, more, more! Step like you’re trying to flatten me!”
Kohaku added even more power.
“Ahhhnnn! Right, this is it! Gbohooah! Ahhh, owww! Feelss soo gooddDdd~~~!!!”
“What’s wrong with this guy… Gross… Disgusting…”
“Thank you very much!!!”
“Ahhhh, ahhhh!!!”
Ai seemed to come repeatedly.
Chasing after Ai in such a manner, Kohaku presses her leg against him.
I could see a faint elation in Ai’s face. His cheeks were flushed, a bewitching smile was pasted on his face, and his breathing became ragged.
“Come on… This is what you want, right…?”
“Ow, ow, owwwww!!!”
“Squeal more…!”
“I, I knew it, you were my master after all, ahhhhhh!!!”
Ai’s ecstatic screams echoed behind the gymnasium.
Who would have thought that such madness could be going on behind the scenes of a fun party.
“(Ugh…)””
I felt chills.
The sadistic side of my childhood friend is blossoming.
I was made to see the glorious evolution of the two first-year students.
“Hah… Hah… That’s it, I’m tired already.”
After a while, Kohaku retracted her leg, as if she was done with the toy.
“Tha-thank you very much…”
Ai laid on his back and posed in obedience, similar to a dog.
“Plea-please take care of me from now on…”
“Ew……”
Kohaku let out a voice that didn’t hide a millimeter of disgust.
But she eventually changed her mind and smiled slightly.
“Okay. I’ll be Tachibana-kun’s——dog——owner.”
I guess she’s got a habit of it.
Kohaku’s expression is somewhat amused.
“Anyway, I’m tired, get me a drink.”
“Ye-yesss!!!”
Immediately Ai got up and disappeared towards the gymnasium.
Rather than a pet, Kohaku seems intent on using Ai as a useful servant.
“Well then, that other dog there… Is he a bad boy? Does he want to be stepped on, too?”
“I’m not a dog!!!”
I mean, she noticed me all this time!?
She knew and still showed that kind of madness!?
I emerged from the bushes.
“I knew you were there.”
“That’s not what’s important right now…”
“Peeping is a Suzume’s speciality.”
“It’s not!! I didn’t even do that yesterday at the bathhouse!”
“But you tried to. Pervert.”
“Ah, that’s right. I’m sorry.”
I won’t deny that.
Screw public bathhouses without peepholes. I’ll burn them all.
“Hey.”
“What?”
“Was it good? Doing that.”
“It was. It felt like I destroyed him.”
“Huh…”
Not bad, Kohaku-chan!
“…But I regret it.”
“Huh?”
“It’s about that boy. In the end, there were a lot of misunderstandings, but it doesn’t change the fact that I couldn’t continue the relationship. I ran away. I hurt him with my thoughtless behaviors.”
“Right.”
Well, maybe even that is a reward for Ai now.
“I’ll apologize later.”
“Yeah, you should do that.”
“Yes.”
When I patted her head, Kohaku smiled, unusually honest and relaxed.
From my point of view, Kohaku is more of a pet… But don’t misunderstand, Ai-san. This is more like war.
I’m not a super-masochist, so her look of contempt doesn’t work for me.
It only felt a little bit good to be kicked! Only a little!
“But this time I learned something.”
“What?”
“It’s…hard to put into words.”
“I see.”
It seems to be tough on a person who’s bad at talking.
“…Which one is the real me?”
“Hmm?”
“Sometimes I get confused. Being in the student council is really enjoyable. But it’s not like being in the class is not enjoyable….”
Kohaku carefully chose her words, expressing her feelings little by little.
Seeing my childhood friend like that, I strengthened the power to stroke her head.
“It’s probably fine that way. Just like Ai said. No matter how far you go, your core never wavers. Stay true to yourself and change in a way that makes your life easier.”
“Yes.”
“And then, you…”
You just need to find your own thing.
All the people in the world do it.
Wear a mask, create a character, join a group and find a comfortable way to live.
And then,
“I… I want to be happy. I have to, no matter what…”
“Yeah.”
I want to be happy.
Those words that I heard during spring break are what pushed me and Kohaku…
“Because that’s what my now passed away grandma wished for——”
It was a touching story about a girl who had lived her life in solitude, and changed it for the person she cared about most in the world.
