When I brought my childhood friend back home after a long time, she suddenly started undressing and said, "I want you to hold me..." - Chapter 18
Both of us were kicked out of the shop by the old lady. In the process we crashed into each other while Aoi was still wearing a Yukata.
It was just under 5 P.M. and the firework show was scheduled to start at 8 P.M. tonight, so there was still more than three hours left for us to spend.
‘The old lady was so nice… She indirectly helped us, and now we can spend more time together.’
I was grateful to her that she gave us the tickets to the fireworks show for free and the Yukata for rent. Aoi looked stunning in it and there was no doubt that she would garner attention from her surroundings but the problem here was that it would be a little uncomfortable if she were to wear it for more than 3 hours.
I also wanted to tell the old lady that we could come back to get it for the festival, but she shutted the door without letting us say anything.
‘Haah, let’s not think about it anymore. We still have more than 3 hours left, what should we do to kill the time?’
The more I thought about it, the more I felt like I was losing track of it, so I decided to turn my eyes downwards. There is also that misunderstanding left to clear, ugh why confessing their feelings to someone is so hard!
“… Well, what should we do?”
“……”
“What happened?”
“No, it’s nothing…”
We both stared at each other as if trying to understand what the other person was thinking, but suddenly she furrowed her brows and her current look was quite scary, which was also contradicting because her cheeks were bright red.
“… Let’s go back for now.”
After saying that, Aoi turned her back on me and crossed her arms below her supple b***s.
“Uh, don’t look over here.”
“I can’t really understand why you are acting like this.”
“—You know what, never mind!”
“Huh? Did you say something?”
“…..”
She was mumbling something by herself and her voice was so faint that I couldn’t understand her properly, so I approached her and brought my ears closer to her, trying to hear the words properly.
She mumbled to herself, mumbling, and this time she put her ear close to her but noticing it she immediately bit on it.
“Amu.” (TL/N : Munching sound)
“Oww!! Just what are you doing!?”
“You showed me your ears, so I bite it.”
“Hey, that’s unreasonable.”
“Nope, it’s not.”
“Ugh, I just wanted to hear what you were mumbling previously.”
“It’s nothing though.”
“What?”
“As I said it’s nothing, let’s just go back to the hotel already!”
Aoi snorted and hurriedly pulled me by holding my hands and soon the both of us returned to the hotel room where both of us were staying.

After both of us returned to our room at the hot-spring inn, Aoi sat down in front of me while trying to remove her obi and her yukata came off quickly as if it was too tight for her. Her underwear was still half-exposed, as if she wasn’t thinking much about it in front of me.
The only thing is that I can’t outright point out her defenselessness.
“Um… Aoi, are you in a better mood?”
“I’m not really mad at you.”
“If you’re not mad, then why have you been staring at me all this time?”
“It’s just your imagination.”
‘Well, that’s understandable as a person will not confess if they are staring at someone.’
“Haah… I see, it’s almost time for dinner, so let’s clean up.”
“Alright.”
The two of us nodded and began cleaning out our messy room, most of it happened because of Aoi.
After a few minutes of cleaning up the room, the two of us sat back to our original places and stared at each other again and the silence continued.
“…”
“…”
“…”
“I can’t stand this atmosphere anymore.”
Finally getting annoyed by our silence treatment, I decided to put an end to it.
“What’s wrong? Why are you sulking so much? If I did anything wrong, then I apologize for my mistake.”
“…..”
Even when I tried to apologize, she didn’t reply to me and instead turned her face to the other side of the room.
“Your face is a little scary.”
“What?”
“No, it’s nothing…”
“Did I say anything about me being mad at you?”
“No, but it does look that way.”
“Rest assured I am not at all mad at you.”
“I see.”
When I nodded timidly, accepting that she isn’t mad at me, Aoi paused for a moment and her face turned serious all of a sudden.
“…Close your eyes.”
“Why?”
“Just meditate!”
“I understand… But why all of a sudden?”
I fearfully closed my eyes and the next moment…
I was pushed down on the floor of the room by my shoulders, and Aoi sat on top of my crotch with teary eyes and beet red face, she looked adorable. And then she said…
“I like you, please go out with me.”
Hearing the sudden and unexpected confession at this time my brain went numb and I couldn’t grasp the understanding of my surroundings.
Aoi was sitting on top of me, while her breathing was ragged. A sweet smell entered my nostrils and I sniffed deeply on it. Her Yukata was loose near her cleavage and her b***s were also slightly distorted. Her curves which were hidden in it, were now partially exposed. I couldn’t help but fall in a daze.
But more than that, her sudden confession was what startled me the most. And now I was thinking of the possible replies I could give to her.
But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t think of anything at the moment. I was finally in a pinch because of her confession.
‘Haah… Calm down, think straight. She suddenly confessed to me again, but this one seems different from the last time and she also looks serious about it.’
I shook Aoi by her shoulders who was frozen at a place with teary eyes.
“… Hey.”
“…..”
But no reply came from her for more than ten seconds.
And after what felt like an eternity, her focus finally shifted on to our current situation.
“What is it?”
“Nothing…”
“What do you mean by nothing? I just proposed to you… Idiot!!”
‘Wait am I clearly hearing it?’
“Can you repeat it?”
“I said I like you… why are you making me repeat it again to you.”
“Are you absolutely sure about that?”
“Yeah…”
Her face was serious when she was saying that, with a blush adorning her pretty face contradicting her current demeanor.
Taking deep breaths and calming down the atmosphere I parted my lips to reply.
“I—”
But at that moment, we heard a knock on the door of our room.
“!⁉?”
The two of us were startled because of the sudden sound and Aoi hugged me tightly.
‘She is so soft, I don’t want to leave her… Wait, now is not the time for it.’
I finally focused my attention on the source which disrupted us.
“We are here to server the dinner~”
A cheerful voice resonated from the other side of the door, by the caretakers of the inn.
And in t end, both of us ate dinner without any answer to the confession.

TL Notes : Not gonna lie, I don’t understand why the Author is prolonging the confession so much, hopefully we will witness it at the fireworks show.
