My Childhood Friend Who Takes Care of Me Seems to Be a Yandere... No, That Must Be a Misunderstanding

Chapter 38: With My Childhood Friend While She’s Awake

My face felt like it was going to explode from embarrassment, and I collapsed right there on the floor.

My heart was pounding so loudly it hurt.
My head was spinning and I couldn’t think straight.
Even so, I could feel Mii-chan staring down at me.

“…You don’t have to be that shocked.”

Mii-chan said it with a slightly troubled laugh.

“B-But…!”

Words wouldn’t come out.
I was so embarrassed I thought I’d lose my mind.

“You really didn’t notice I was awake?”

At that, I covered my face with both hands.

“Of course I didn’t…!! You looked completely asleep! You didn’t move at all…”

“Well, true. But when you kissed me, I woke up from the surprise.”

“…!!!?”

I can’t do this anymore. I want to disappear. If there’s a hole I want to crawl into it.

Mii-chan seemed to be enjoying my reaction and kept going.

“And you had such a serious face, too.”

“Stoooop…!!”

I hugged my knees and curled up small.
I can’t take any more.

But Mii-chan was merciless.

“And… you were actually planning to do more, right?”

“N-No I wasn’t…!”

“Then why were you taking your time like that?”

“~~~!!!

My head felt like it was boiling.
I didn’t want to remember, but the memory flashed back anyway.

Because back then it was just a sudden whim…

I tried desperately to cover it up, but Mii-chan smiled and crouched down in front of me.

“Hey, Hina.”

“…W-What…”

I answered in a trembling voice, still hiding my face.
Mii-chan let out a small breath and whispered gently.

“I did it first earlier… so now it’s your turn, okay?”

“Eh…!?”

My mind went completely blank.

“I-I can’t, no way…!!”

“Why not?”

“B-Because… it’s embarrassing…!”

“You did it when I was sleeping.”

“…!!”

My chest thumped hard.

“T-That was…!”

“That was?”

Mii-chan kept smiling gently and squeezed my hand a little tighter.

“I was really happy when you did it, you know?”

“…Eh?”

I blinked dumbly at the unexpected words.

“So… do it again?”

—!!!

That’s unfair.
When she asks like that, there’s no way I can refuse.

But, but…
My heart is pounding like crazy and I feel like I’m going to fall apart.
My face is burning and I’m so embarrassed I can’t stand it.
Even so, Mii-chan keeps looking straight at me.

I can’t run anymore.

When she says she wants me to do it…
there’s no way I can say no.

The feeling of our lips touching still lingers.
My heartbeat is beating so hard the sound fills my head.

Yet Mii-chan’s eyes are so straightforward—
so endlessly kind, and so unfair.

I squeezed my eyes shut, grabbed the hem of Mii-chan’s clothes with my shaking hand,

and gently pressed my lips to hers.

The soft, warm sensation made my heart leap.
I only meant to touch them lightly—

“Nn…”

Mii-chan wrapped her arms around my back so I couldn’t pull away.
The kiss grew deeper.
When her tongue slipped in gently, my body jerked.

“…M-Mii… chan…”

It tickled as our tongues tangled, and all the strength left my body.
I awkwardly moved my tongue too.

“…Nn…”

A faint wet sound echoed in the quiet room.
My heartbeat roared in my ears.

We stayed like that for a while, but I finally ran out of breath and pulled back a little.
Our lips were still almost touching, and I could feel Mii-chan smiling.
Then she gently pressed her forehead to mine with a soft bump.

“Good girl, Hina.”

I covered my face again and crouched down once more.
I can’t take this.
My heart really can’t take any more—!

Chapter 39: My Childhood Friend Reaches Her Limit

But then, a gentle hand rested on my shoulder.

“Hina.”

My shoulders jerked at the soft voice calling my name.
I still couldn’t lift my face right away.

Because it’s just too embarrassing.

My chest was still throbbing, and I didn’t feel like I could look at Mii-chan in the eye properly.

“Hey, Hina.”

She called my name again, low and gentle.
Just that alone made my heart leap.

“…W-What…?”

When I stiffly raised my face, Mii-chan was wearing a calm smile.
Not the teasing look from earlier; a somehow peaceful, quiet smile.

“…We can’t really relax here in the entryway, right?”

Saying that, she took my hand
and slowly helped me stand.

“Eh…?”
“Let’s go to the room.”

Her usual gentle voice.
But the hand holding mine was hot.
That heat slowly spread to me, and my heartbeat sped up even more.

“…Yeah.”

Led along, I walked beside Mii-chan.
As if nothing had happened, the bedroom door opened quietly.

When we reached the side of the bed, Mii-chan gently turned around.

“Hina.”
“…?”

The next instant—

She pulled my arm hard, and my vision flipped softly.

“—Eh!?”

Before I knew it, I was lying on the bed.
Mii-chan was right there, leaning over me and looking down.

…Not her usual calm expression.

A gaze so serious it stole my breath—
like all the heat she’d been holding back had finally been released.

“…Hina.”

Her whisper brushed my ear.
A shiver ran down my spine.

“W-Wait… Mii-cha…!?”

I tried to say something—

But before I could, Mii-chan gripped my hands tightly.

And then—

“I can’t hold back anymore.”

She muttered it quietly, as if forcing the words out.

“I’ve… been holding back this whole time, you know?”
“Eh…?”
“I wanted to push you down so badly… but we weren’t even lovers yet, so I couldn’t…”
“—!!!?”
“So when you kissed me… I just…”

She let out a pained breath and stared at me.

Her eyes burned and wavered with heat.
In them I could see strong desire and an impulse she could no longer contain.

“…I’m at my limit.”

The moment she whispered that—

Mii-chan’s lips pressed deeply against mine.

A hot, fierce kiss that tangled our tongues.
Far deeper and more demanding than before.

“Nn…!?”

I was surprised, but her arms wrapped tightly around my back and wouldn’t let me escape.

“Hina… I can’t stop anymore…”

Her whispering voice trembled with heat—.
