The Story of Making a Popular Girl Dependent on Me - Chapter 16

The next day, Sunday. With no particular plans, Setsune spent her time helping around the house and reviewing lessons she couldn’t focus on during weekdays.

She tried messaging Rokka several times but didn’t get many replies. Still, she looked forward to seeing Rokka again tomorrow and focused on studying.

Monday came. Setsune couldn’t talk to Rokka in the morning, but just seeing her made Setsune happy.

During the break after the second period, Setsune received a message from Rokka.

“Setsune, can I come over to your place today?”

“Sure, but my parents are at work and I can’t offer much hospitality.”

“It’s okay. I’ll come over today, so see you then.”

“Got it.”

Since my parents both worked, they wouldn’t be home until late. So, even though I couldn’t offer much hospitality, I was happy to welcome her.

After school, I happily spent time with Rokka, so much so that Shizuku asked if something had happened between us like we were dating.

Having spent the day in high spirits, I hurried home to get ready. However, Shizuku asked if I wanted to come and play.

“Asahina, do you want to play today?”

“Sorry. I have something important to do today, so I can’t go. Can you invite me again next time?”

I declined an important matter and asked for the next invitation. Shizuku realized that much and immediately agreed.

“If that’s the case, there’s no helping it. Then invite me again later and tell me the story at that time.”

He was shameless about listening to the story. Well, I said I’d introduce him next time, so I could talk about it then.

After Shizuku left, I quickly finished preparing and headed to Rokka.

“Rokka, sorry to keep you waiting. Ready to go home?”

“It’s okay. Setsune, do you have everything you need?”

“I’m fine too. Shall we go then?”

When I said that, Rokka stood up from her chair and stood next to me. Confirming that, I forgot that it was still a school, so I entwined my arm around her arm.

I acted unconsciously, and when I realized it, I was a little embarrassed, but it was also a deterrent to those around me, so I didn’t release my arm.

Then I felt Rokka’s gaze from her side, so I looked over there, and she smiled happily.

I was so happy that I smiled back at her with all my heart, saying, “I’m really happy. Just having Rokka next to me makes me feel like I don’t need anything else.”

While thinking about such things, Rokka started walking, so I followed her and headed for my house.

“Excuse me.”

When I arrived at my house, Rokka said that and entered the entrance.

“Please.”

I opened the door and waited for her to enter, leaving the door open to make it easier for her to enter, and I welcomed her inside. It was Rokka’s first time coming to my house, so I was a little nervous, but I didn’t want to keep her waiting, so I headed straight to my room.

As soon as I opened the door to the room, I felt a little relieved when I looked inside.

(That’s good. I cleaned my room yesterday. It would be too painful if Rokka thought I was a messy woman.)

“Sorry for not having a chair or anything. There’s a cushion over there, so sit there or on the bed. I’ll bring some drinks and snacks.”

I said that and left the room once and went to the refrigerator. Then, I brought cider and snacks from the shelf and returned to the room.

“Sorry to keep you waiting. I chose cider for the drink, is that okay?”

“It’s okay. Thank you.”

Even though it was the same room as usual, just having Rokka there to greet me made me feel a little happy.

(If I become a university student and live together, will it be like this?)

While thinking about such things, I put down what I had brought on the low table in front of Rokka and sat next to her.

“So, Rokka. You said you wanted to come to my house suddenly today. What’s up?”

“I thought a home date would be nice once in a while. Plus, I’ve never been to Setsune’s house before, so I wanted to come.”

She said that and took a sip of cider to wet her throat.

“Yeah, I see. So, what should we do after this? As you can see, there’s not much to play with in my room.”

“In that case, how about watching a movie on your phone? I often watch movies, so I have subscriptions to those sites.”

“Sounds good. What do you want to watch?”

“Hmm, how about a horror movie?”

“…Huh?”

When she said horror, I couldn’t react for a while.

My top two fears in this world are bugs and horror.

Some people say horror movies aren’t scary because they’re fiction, but sometimes they’re filmed in actual places and use real urban legends as themes.

Such ambiguity that seems so close yet so far from reality is what I find unsettling.

“Oh, sorry. Is it too much for you? I watch horror movies with Riho a lot, so I just said that.”

“N-No, it’s okay! Let’s watch a horror movie!”

Even though it’s not my thing, if Katsushika-san watches them often, I can’t refuse.

Because if I don’t make time to watch those things with Rokka, she’ll probably invite Katsushika-san to watch movies again.

If that happens, Rokka and Katsushika-san might get even closer. I absolutely couldn’t allow that.

“Got it. Setsune, sit here.”

I was only thinking about the horror movie we were about to watch, so I sat between her legs as she told me to.

After confirming I was seated, Rokka turned her phone sideways and pressed the play button for the movie.

It seemed to be a foreign film, which made me feel a little relieved.

(Phew. If it was a Japanese film, it would be too scary to watch, but if it’s a foreign film, it’s a story from across the ocean, so I think I can handle it somehow.)

I thought that way at first, but as the story progressed, my tolerance level approached its limit.

(No, no, no, no! It’s too much! Dolls being cursed are so scary! What if my stuffed animals in my room start moving? I can’t take this anymore. It’s so scary!)

And by the time we reached the climax of the story, I screamed in terror, unconsciously clinging to Rokka’s arm.

Finally, when the movie ended, I was completely exhausted, and I relaxed my whole body, leaning on Rokka.

“That was interesting, Setsune.”

“…Yeah. It was… interesting, not… scary.”

I almost said what I really thought, but I managed to keep the conversation going.

“Let’s watch another one together next time.”

“Huh? Uh… Yeah, sure.”

I grimaced at the thought of having to watch something scary again. And as I gradually calmed down, I noticed something was pressed against my waist.

Then, while I was trying to escape from embarrassment and an unfamiliar feeling, I suddenly felt something soft on my neck and let out a strange sound in surprise.

Realizing it was a kiss from Rokka, I asked about her intentions.

“Hm? I’m not doing anything.”

She said that and kissed my neck again, slowly running her tongue over it. Then she licked and nibbled on my ear repeatedly.

“R-Rokka! …Ah! …Mmm…”

I tried to escape from embarrassment and this unprecedented pleasure, but because she was hugging me from behind, I couldn’t move.

“W-Wait, Rokka… Mm… I-I’m… from… sensitive…”

Each time she licked my ear, the sound of water from her tongue and the pleasure melted my brain. And as I lost more and more resistance, I gradually began to surrender to that pleasure.

Finally, just as I was about to say I wanted more, the pleasure suddenly ended.

Rokka turned me around with her right hand, lightly kissed me, and stood up.

Then she approached the door with her bag and turned back to me—

“See you later, Setsune. I had a lot of fun.”

She said with a smile and left. I couldn’t do anything for a while and just kept staring at the door.

And as I gradually calmed down, I remembered what had just happened and my face got hot again.

“I can’t take this anymore… I feel like I’m going to die from embarrassment and affection…”

After that, I could only think about Rokka, and I couldn’t concentrate on meals or studying during that time.
