My Ex-Girlfriend’s Sister Ran Away to My Room, and We Can’t Stop Making Mistakes. - Chapter 39: It's Already Noon.

It’s Already Noon.

Someone was poking my cheek, whispering right into my ear.

“Oni-san. Oni-san.”

My head felt completely fuzzy.

I was lying on a bench. A maid uniform had been draped over me like a blanket, and disposable heat packs were scattered all around my body.

“Ah, you awake aru.”

When I opened my eyes, Rinsu from Chuuka Sei Zanmai was peering down at my face.

“Rinsu…-san.”

“I thought you were dead yo.”

Clad in her red coat, she tilted her head in curiosity.

“What happened? Don’t tell me you got ripped off at some sketchy brothel aru? That’s why I told you so many times not to go to those shady places aru.”

“No, it’s not that.”

“A fight?”

“That might be closer to the truth, I guess.”

Mii was nowhere to be seen. My smartphone was gone, too. Only my wallet remained.

“What time is it now?”

“It’s three in the afternoon mo.”

How long had I been put under? The time I was supposed to meet Ayumu had long since passed. Without my phone, I had no way to contact her. In a panic, I tried to force myself up, but my legs wouldn’t cooperate.

“Where are you going aru?”

“To Tokyo Station. Someone is waiting for me.”

“You seem awfully frantic ne. Is it that first love you talked about aru?”

“Yeah. Crap, what is this… I can’t move.”

My legs were completely numb; I couldn’t budge them at all.

“Of course that happens when you sleep on a hard place like this aru.”

Exasperated, Rinsu plopped herself down right on top of my thighs.

“Besides, I was curious about that first love story aru. I’ll give you a massage with my butt, so spill it aru.”

With that, Rinsu began to bounce up and down playfully on top of me. Her weight was just right, and it actually started having a dull, therapeutic effect.

“If she’s waiting at Tokyo Station, does that mean you two got back together aru? And to stop the two of you from meeting, your current lover slipped you a sleeping pill, ne?”

“We didn’t get back together. I’m just going to see her for a bit. Besides, she’s married and about to have a baby.”

“There’s no need to hold back just because she’s a married woman aru. Junichi Ishida once said that home-wrecking love is a part of culture aru.”

“I’m pretty sure he didn’t say that.”

Well, maybe he did. It didn’t matter either way.

Rinsu shrugged her shoulders in disappointment.

“Is that woman coming alone aru?”

“That’s what she said.”

“Then her pussy is definitely soaking wet by now aru.”

“Soaking wet…?”

“She’s expecting you to elope with her aru. There’s no doubt about it ne.”

“You’ve probably watched too many dramas.”

“You’re the one who isn’t looking at reality, Saki.”

Rinsu peered deeply into my face, looking thoroughly amused.

“So, what will you do if she asks you to run away together aru? You’d run, wouldn’t you?”

It was the same question I’d been asked yesterday. I never expected it to come up here of all places. A heavy lump of lead sank deep into the pit of my stomach.

“No, I wouldn’t run.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

“Then why are you here aru?”

Her gaze dropped to Mii’s maid uniform, which I was clutching tightly.

“If you have no intention of stealing her away, you should be chasing after the girl who owns that maid uniform yo. No matter how you look at it, she’s practically screaming, ‘Please come after me’ ne.”

“I don’t think that’s the case.”

“Has she never told you she loves you aru?”

“She has, but…”

“Have you had sex?”

“We did, but…”

“Then that girl loves you to pieces aru. You need to choose between her and the married woman quickly ki.”

“I can’t just choose one over the other. They’re both precious to me.”

“Then are the three of you going to elope together no?”

“I think that would end up being way worse.”

“If you can’t do that, then you really must choose one ki.”

“No, no.”

I shook my head at Rinsu’s words. This wasn’t the time to be having such a ridiculous conversation.

“It’s not that simple.”

Her family, her past—so many things were tangled together. It wasn’t something that could be resolved so easily.

“It’s not a matter of just picking one.”

“Then what is it a matter of?”

“What do you mean, ‘what’…”

“I assumed this was a conversation about romance to. Weren’t you wavering between two women aru?”

“That’s…”

I tried to fire back, but the words caught in my throat.

“No…”

Why? I couldn’t deny it.

“Am I wrong no?”

Come to think of it, Mii had told me she loved me from the very beginning.

“Maybe you’re not wrong.”

“I knew it ri.”

I recalled what happened right before I was forced to take the sleeping aid. Her words telling me she wouldn’t let us meet, and the smile she had directed at me.

Mii had been completely serious from the start.

“Could it be… Did she think I was going to elope again?”

“Well, if you’re going to meet an old flame, anyone would doubt your intentions ne.”

“To choose one… There’s no way I can do that.”

“But you have to choose aru.”

“Is that so?”

Rinsu gave a firm nod.

“Procrastinating won’t do you any good yo.”

“Even if everything falls apart because of that choice?”

“If that happens, you should just give up cleanly and break it off ne.”

Saying that, she gave an especially high bounce.

“That’s just how romance is aru.”

“Vanilla-san told me the exact same thing.”

“There is no such thing as an absolutely correct choice aru. If one exists…”

Stopping the movement of her hips, Rinsu struck a thoughtful pose before continuing.

“It’s only something made to look correct aru.”

“Is that how it is?”

“I haven’t been sucking dirty old men’s dicks for nothing ne. That much has pierced through to my core aru. This town is full of unfortunate people like that aru.”

“Doesn’t it make you sick of it all?”

“It does yo. Some customers even try to lecture me, asking, ‘Why are you doing this kind of work?’ But if I just suck their dicks one more time, they quiet down aru. I absolutely love seeing that face of theirs—looking like a newborn puppy.”

“Uh-huh…”

“Humans are just accessories attached to cocks and pussies aru.”

With that definitive statement, Rinsu rhythmically resumed pressing down on my thighs.

“Now that you mention it, it’s starting to feel that way.”

“Right sho?”

“Maybe… I’ve just been overthinking things.”

“Are you going to steal her away aru?”

“Who knows…”

Gradually, feeling began to return to my legs. Maybe I could start walking again.

With that thought, I lifted my head and noticed someone standing at the entrance of the park, looking over in our direction.

“Saki-kun?”

The silhouette called out my name.

She began walking toward me. A blue skirt and black tights. Her hair was grown out long, just like before, tied up with a reddish-brown hair tie.

“Ah…”

Seeing her after all this time, she had barely changed. Aside from a light touch of makeup, she was exactly as she had been back then.

“Ayumu.”

She nodded and slowly walked closer.
