I Want a Girlfriend who Won’t Betray Me - Chapter 26

A Day at the Pool with Kanbayashi and the Others (2)

When we arrive at the water slide, we stand in line.

“Shinonome, Karen and I will go down the waterslide together. Do you want to go with Asai-san?”

“N-No, there’s no way we’ll go together. We should go one at a time, right Asai-san?”

“Y-Yes.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kaori’s POV

Honestly, I’m kind of looking forward to it.

First, me and Shinonome-kun go down the waterslide separately. After that, Kanbayashi-kun and Karen comes down together. Karen is holding onto Kanbayashi-kun so tightly. It looks like they are having a great time.

It seems really fun after all. But I wonder if Shinonome-kun will go along with it.

“Should we go again?”

“Yeah!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kazuki’s POV

The four of us climb the stairs back to the waterslide.

“Umm, Shinonome-kun. Would you like to go together?”

“““Eh!?”””

“Kaori, are you sure?”

“Yes, it seems like you and Kanbayashi-kun are having so much fun. It makes me want to try it too.”

“What do you think, Shinonome-kun?”

“I…”

Asai-san looks at me expectantly.

“Shinonome, you should go with her.”

“Okay. But are you sure you’re okay with me?”

“Yes.”

This time, Kanbayashi and Koiwai-san slides down first. After that, both me and Asai-san sit down at the starting position.

“Girlfriend-san, if you sit like that, you might get separated with boyfriend-san halfway. That’s dangerous. So please wrap your arms more securely around boyfriend-san’s stomach and hold on tightly with both hands.”

“Like this?”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kaori’s POV

This is my first time pressing my body against a man. My breasts are pressed up against his back. This is so embarrassing.

“Alright, have fun!”

At first, the waterslide is just straight, but then we spin twice to the right and twice to the left. Each time, my breasts are rubbing against Shinonome-kun’s back. Ugh, this is really embarrassing. But somehow, it also feels kind of nice at the same time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kazuki’s POV

After we get down the waterslide.

“Hahaha. Kaori, your face is bright red!”

“Shinonome’s face too. This is hilarious. Let’s go again!”

““Eh!?””

“Then, we should go separately this time.”

“Shinonome, no way. A man has to take responsibility.”

What does that even mean…?

On the third time, Asai-san presses her body against me even more than before. She even rests her face against my back. Is this really okay?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kaori’s POV

Fufu, Shinonome-kun’s back is so broad. It makes me feel safe. Also, why does my chest feel even more comfortable than before?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kazuki’s POV

After we slide down the waterslide for the third time.

“Oh? The only one with a red face is Shinonome-kun. Kaori, are you okay?”

“Yes, it’s my second time, after all.”

“Because it’s your ‘second time’?”

That’s surprising.

“Ah, it’s already past noon. Let’s have lunch. Karen and I will go buy some food first.”

“Okay.”

While sitting together on the sheet, I can’t bring myself to look at Asai-san’s face. It’s a completely different feeling compared to Sana. For some reason, I feel embarrassed.

“Shinonome-kun, is something wrong?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kaori’s POV

He seems to be more shy than I thought. A slight mischievous impulse sparks within me.

Pretending to take off my rash guard, I reach out behind from him, naturally causing my body to press closely against his.

“W-Wait, what are you doing, Asai-san?”

“Sorry, I’m just trying to take off my rash guard.”

“If you’d told me, I could’ve helped.”

“But I would feel bad about that.”

“More importantly, could you please move away from my back?”

“Ara, how careless of me.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kazuki’s POV

Meanwhile, Kanbayashi and Koiwai-san, who are watching us from behind, are whispering to each other.

“Takeo, I’ve never seen Kaori like that before. No matter how you look at it, she did it on her own, right?”

“Yeah, this might be more serious than I expected.”

“Kaori’s feelings are obvious, but the real question is what Shinonome-kun thinks. He’s already been hurt emotionally by two different people.”

“That’s true. I guess it’s up to Asai-san now.”

Then, the two of them comes back to our spot.

“We got our food. You two should go grab yours now.”

“Got it.”

“Those two are a perfect match.”

“But in reality, beautiful man and woman don’t always end up together.”

Suddenly,

“Ouch!”

“We’re right here, you know.”

“Y-You’re right. So, can you please stop pinching me now?”

“Fufu, okay. But in return, tomorrow better be good, okay?”

“Y-Yes…”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kanbayashi’s POV

Karen, despite her appearance, she’s actually into that kind of thing.

“Takeo, you weren’t thinking about anything weird just now, were you?”

“Not at all.”

“Alright then.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kazuki’s POV

As we walk back from the food stalls, I look over at Kanbayashi and Koiwai-san.

“Eh? It seems that Kanbayashi is getting completely overpowered by Koiwai-san.”

“Fufu, those two have always been like that. Karen is cute and kind, but when it comes to him, she’s very clear about what she wants. I’m jealous of their relationship.”

“Asai-san, I’m sure you have plenty of admirers too.”

“It doesn’t matter how many admirers do I have.”

We leisurely have our lunch while Asai-san asks me various questions about my life in the US. I tell her everything in detail, and she seems quite surprised.

After that, we go to the wave pool. Nothing like the day before yesterday happened. However, Asai-san has been sticking close to me quite a bit. I guess she’s not as shy as she looks. Maybe I should take a step back.

Then, at around 3PM, we get out of the pool. We wash our bodies in the shower room and enter the locker room.

“Shinonome, it seems that Asai-san really likes you.”

“She’s a lot more forward than I expected. I’m a bit surprised.”

“Isn’t that a good thing? A beautiful woman like her is interested in you.”

“Well, just because she’s beautiful doesn’t automatically make it a good thing.”

“By the way, Shinonome, where do you live?”

“Four stops from the school in the shopping centre direction.”

“What a coincidence. I live four stops from the school in the Shibuyama direction. By the way, Karen and Asai-san get off at the same station, two stops from school in the same direction as me. We’ll be heading home together.”

“Ah, that’s good to hear.”

Then, the four of us take the train to Shibuyama and transfer to our line.

As we are about to change trains, Asai-san asks me.

“Shinonome-kun, can we meet more during the break?”

“Yeah, sure.”

“Then, I’ll contact you.”

“Do you have my contact information?”

“Yes, we’re in the pool group chat, aren’t we?”

“Ah, that’s right.”

Could it be that Kanbayashi created the group chat with this in mind?
