Chapter 22

“Well then, shall we go to my house?” 

“You’re still as abrupt as ever.”

Kazuhiko gave a wry smile at Reika, who made such a blunt statement right after being so affectionate. Reika, of course, noticed the change in him. She stared intently at Kazuhiko.

“Hmm? What is it?” 

“No, I thought you’d panic more if I said we were going to my house.” 

“Hahaha, don’t think I’ll always be the one getting owned.” 

“Oh, really… Hamph! Amu! Juru! Jurorororoh!” 

“Nmuuohh!?”

When Kazuhiko got cocky, Reika devoured his lips as if trying to suck out his soul.

“Nmu, nchu, rerorero… chuuh!”

—Foh! Foooh!? This girl! Such a crazy kiss?! …Wait, where did she learn that?

Kazuhiko felt a sharp pang in his chest and struggled, moving his own tongue in resistance. But she was still superior, and his mouth was thoroughly ravaged by her tongue, their saliva exchanged.

“Chupaa… Hehe, that was delicious.”

—Should I say, ‘Thank you for the meal,’ at a time like this…?

Kazuhiko thought blankly, still feeling her touch.

“Hehe, that’s a good look, Kazu-kun. It’s better when you look like that.”

It seemed he couldn’t beat her after all. Good grief… Kazuhiko thought, though he was less flustered than before. He was confused and aroused, but the realization of his feelings for her made the happiness outweigh the confusion.

“Rei-chan.” 

“Yes, Kazu-kun… Nn.”

As if to retaliate, Kazuhiko stole Reika’s lips. He even inserted his tongue, following her example, and stirred inside her mouth.

“Nfuu, nn…”

Saliva dripped from Reika’s lips, running down her chin.

“Puhaa… Haha, I can do it too, right?”

When Kazuhiko said that, Reika’s cheeks were faintly flushed, and her eyes were moist.

“…I might not be able to hold back anymore. When we go for greetings, let’s  make it three of us, okay?” 

“Ehh, w-wait, Rei-chan? R-Reika-saan!?”

Kazuhiko desperately fought to protect his virginity.

◇◇◇

They walked hand-in-hand under the spring-like sunlight. It was a familiar scene and a familiar path, but to Kazuhiko, the world finally looked radiant. 

Just moments ago, it had seemed sepia-toned. …No, it had probably been colored all along; he just hadn’t noticed.

“It’s been a while since I’ve walked with you like this, Kazu-kun.” 

“Weren’t we together on the way home from school?” 

“That’s different from just leaving school, isn’t it? You know that.”

Saying that, Reika squeezed his hand tightly. Indeed, walking together purposefully, not just as part of the commute home, carried a different meaning. Strolling together in casual clothes on a holiday. —Although, they currently had a destination: Reika’s house.

—I’m still not mentally prepared… Well, at least it’s not the first time meeting them.

And he had already braced himself for dating her. He must have been thoroughly trained while pretending to be hypnotized.

“It’s been a while since I saw your parents too.” 

“They are not just parents. They are your mother-in-law and father-in-law.” 

“You don’t give up do you!” 

“That’s who I am.”

Reika sniffed, “Fufun,” and it suited her perfectly. 

Her features were strong and beautiful, with sharp eyes, and her graceful black hair, reaching her waist, shone lustrously. 

She was a perfect superhuman, excelling in both looks, talent, academics, and sports.

Such a beautiful girl was his childhood friend and had been devoted to him all along. It was a stroke of fortune that felt like a fantasy.

However, inside, she was a pervert who set traps with a hypnosis app. But no guy dislikes an erotic girl. It could be said that reality had murdered fantasy.

Then, Kazuhiko suddenly had a thought.

“Speaking of which, Rei-chan, you’re a good kisser.” 

“Oh, do you want to kiss? I don’t mind.” 

“N-no, later, later.” 

“Heee…”

Reika narrowed her eyes like a snake and subtly licked her lips.

—Uh oh, did I mess up?

While Kazuhiko worried, Reika clearly understood what he meant.

“Don’t worry. I’ve only ever kissed you, Kazu-kun. I practiced on you. When you were sleeping as a little boy…”

Reika licked her lips again with a snake-like expression.

Officer, please arrest this person. 

Why was there no one who snitched on her? 

But unfortunately, even if there were witnesses, it was just a cute little girl kissing a shota (young boy). 

Even if she stuck her tongue in his mouth and licked all around.

“…Ah, so that’s why I felt a nostalgic feeling when Rei-chan kissed me…” 

“Hehe, your body remembered, it seems.” 

“Am I the only one who thinks that’s not a very heartwarming anecdote…?”

Kazuhiko couldn’t help but be suspicious.

“But the fact that you’re worried about things like that… does that mean you’re showing possessiveness towards me, Kazu-kun?” 

“…A-ah, well, I guess so.” 

“…heee.”

When Kazuhiko honestly admitted it, Reika responded with a different tone than usual. Puzzled, Kazuhiko glanced at Reika. He saw that her ear was red.

“Huh? Cute.”

 “!?”

Reika’s shoulder jumped. As usual, she must have sensed the situation. That her ear was red, that he noticed it, and that the word that slipped out was his true feeling. Being too perceptive can be a problem.

Kazuhiko saw her momentary confusion.

“Wow, cute.”

He let the word slip out again.

“~~~!!”

Reika glared at him with sharp eyes that looked like they could kill.

Ah, crap, am I dead? Kazuhiko thought, but he was mistaken.

“Kazu-kun, shall we go back to your house for a moment and have some intimate time?” 

“No, your house is right around the corner!”

“No good. My parents are home right now. And yours haven’t returned yet…” 

“Don’t plot things you can’t do when your parents are home!” 

“It’s fine, I won’t stop at just the tip.” 

“That’s definitely NOT fine!” 

“It’s fine, it’s fine. Hah, hah.”

Kazuhiko briefly thought it might be a bad idea to let her parents see Reika like this, but perhaps it would be good to let them see their daughter’s true self. For the sake of gaining his in-laws’ understanding!

“It’s fine, I’ll go all the way.” 

“Don’t say things like that with that beautiful face! What’s with that strength!? Someone call a man!” 

“Oh my, calling me beautiful… Kazu-kun, you want to be attacked that much, don’t you? Having our first in high school wouldn’t be so bad.” 

“Nooooo!”

Kazuhiko somehow, against all odds, managed to reach her house.
