My Cool and Straightforward Girlfriend Won't Let Me Sleep Today Either - Chapter 23

Episode 23: My 4th-Year Girlfriend Who Has No Intention Of Breaking Up With Me

“Sloppy face…”

Natsuki touches my bruised cheek with her sticky hands.

I want to blame someone for this state I’m in, but I can’t even muster the energy for that.

Yes, I’m being punished by Natsuki, who misunderstood and thought I was cheating on her.

The acts involving lotion and stockings were indeed appropriately labeled as ‘punishment’ beyond my imagination.

It felt good, but it was on a level only a true masochist could endure.

If my hands and feet were not bound, I would have fled immediately.

I never want such intense torment again.

But I’m sure there will be a next time.

“It was so cute how you tried so hard to keep your voice down.”

Natsuki says with a satisfied expression.

“…Could you untie me soon?”

I finally manage to calm down and ask Natsuki to untie my hands and feet.

Since Natsuki has also returned to her senses considerably, she readily unties my limbs.

After surveying the room dirtied by Natsuki’s merciless punishment, I look at Natsuki, who must have regained her composure by now.

“What are you going to do to clean up this mess?”

“It’s Minato’s fault for cheating, isn’t it?”

Natsuki still seems to be misunderstanding, showing no signs of remorse.

This girl… Well, it’s okay. You can act calm for now, but it won’t last.

Now, it’s time for revenge.

“Natsuki-san. Even after seeing this, do you still think I cheated on you?”

To support the evidence that the hair belongs to Risa-chan, I display the messages exchanged with my mother on my phone.

“……”

“Come on, instead of staying silent, why don’t you say something?”

“But… if Minato had argued back more forcefully…”

Natsuki, who usually speaks decisively, hesitates unusually.

Seeing her like this, I can’t help but smirk.

“You didn’t bother to listen properly, did you?”

“…No, that is.”

“Why don’t you just say sorry now?”

When I give her an out, Natsuki mutters an apology with her head down.

“I-I’m sorry.”

“Hmm, alright. But your attitude seems a bit too arrogant for an apology, or is it just my imagination?”

“What are you trying to say?”

“Well, shouldn’t there be some sort of apology?”

Lotion and stockings were seriously tough.

I’m not so forgiving that I can be appeased with just a, “I’m sorry”.

“…What can I do?”

“For example, would you do anything I ask?”

I press Natsuki with authority.

Normally, Natsuki would tell me not to be ridiculous…

“…I understand. That’s fine.”

Since she seems to be reflecting on punishing me unfairly, Natsuki doesn’t complain about fulfilling my request.

Now, what should I ask Natsuki to do for me… but before that.

I look at Natsuki, who has returned to her senses after the punishing ordeal, while surveying the messy room.

“First, it’s cleaning.”

“Sorry about this…”

“Yeah, you should be. Alright, let’s see… You really put me through a lot, didn’t you?”

I pick up the stocking, my archenemy lying on the floor.

It’s torn and unusable, and I hold some grudge against it.

I’m about to throw the stocking into the trash, but Natsuki snatches it away from me.

“I’ll wash it and use it as a cleaning tool, so you don’t have to throw it away.”

Don’t lie. You’re definitely going to use it on me again…

Natsuki’s brazenness leaves me with no choice but to laugh bitterly.

After cleaning the room and taking a shower, Natsuki and I both went to bed for a while.

So, I woke up in the afternoon.

Natsuki, who woke up first, seems restless as she looks at me.

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing.”

‘No, you’re just wondering what I’m going to ask you to do for me, aren’t you?

I’ve gained the right to ask Natsuki for anything.

Natsuki can’t help but be anxious about how I’ll use it.

“…What do you want me to do for you?”

“How about spending a day dressed as a maid?”

Last year, I had a friend who ran a maid cafe at the cultural festival.

Out of curiosity, I asked, “What do you do with maid costumes after the festival?” and got the reply, “If you want it, I’ll give it to you”.

So, I got a maid outfit, thinking Natsuki would look cute in it.

But as you know, Natsuki is a cool and straightforward girlfriend.

She refused to wear the maid outfit because it was embarrassing.

Today, I’m determined to get her to wear it.

“Ah, that’s fine.”

“Huh? But didn’t you say it was too embarrassing before?”

“I showed you my highschool uniform and naked apron, and I even tempted Minato with a swimsuit, so I think wearing a maid outfit isn’t that big of a deal…”

“I see. Then, how about a maid role-play as a bonus?”

“Ugh, I shouldn’t have said anything extra…”

“Is that how you should behave towards your master?”

“Yes, yes, sorry. M-a-s-t-e-r!”

Natsuki reluctantly calls me master.

Hmm, it’s kind of refreshing to have her treat me like this when she’s usually so bossy and distant.

No, it feels really good.

“I’ll bring out the maid outfit now, so wait a moment.”

“Sigh… How did it come to this?”
Ignoring Natsuki’s sigh, I tried to take out the maid outfit from the shelf where I had stored it when moving.

Um, I vaguely remember putting it on this unused shelf…

I opened the shelf, which I hadn’t touched since moving.

I found something shocking and froze.

“Um, Natsuki-san? What on earth is this toy?”

Yes, there was an adult toy on the shelf that I was unaware of.

“I don’t know.”

“No, saying you don’t know is a bit too much…”

“Okay, okay, do I have to explain everything?”

Natsuki elaborately explained how to use the toy.

By the way, it’s too horrifying for me to describe it myself.

Well, it seems Natsuki has no intention of seriously using the toy.

“I don’t plan on using it seriously, so you can relax. I only prepared it to discipline Minato when he cheated.”

I was lucky that it only ended with lotion and stockings.

Realizing that my chastity was in danger, I broke into a cold sweat.

Not just my chastity, but the fact that even if I were to cheat, she never once mentioned ‘breaking up,’ makes me happy but also somewhat scared…

“Um, hypothetically speaking. If I were to really cheat, you wouldn’t think about breaking up, right?”

“Huh? I wouldn’t. I’ll just make sure you never look at another girl besides me again. That’s decided, isn’t it?”

“R-Right…”

Even if I couldn’t see Natsuki for six months, I would never break up with her.
Since that day, Natsuki’s love seems to be getting heavier and heavier, and I can’t shake off the feeling of impending doom.

I’m starting to get scared that she might confine me under the guise of discipline…

Despite feeling a slight unease about the future, I continue searching for the maid outfit to dress Natsuki in.
