Chapter 1 Turning point

Episode 1 When I woke up, a buck-naked childhood friend was sneaking into my bed.

Brought to you by Noir

This might seem sudden, but I have an existence who can be termed a “childhood friend.”

Her name is Kujou Rei. She has a dignified aura, and her long shiny hair stretches down to her back. What’s even more, her body has the perfect ratio that a girl aspires to have. That is, where it needs to come out, it comes out perfectly, and where it needs to retract, it retracts admirably. Not losing to the body of a model in any way.

When I was in junior high, I was looked at with jealousy—no, with envy by the people around me.

I didn’t have any intention to talk about Rei to others in the first place. However, while attending middle school, Rei spread that very thing I didn’t want others to know.

… Thanks to that, I was receiving a strong, piercing gaze from my peers near me, again and again.

After becoming a high-school student, I made sure not to let people know about this. I also asked Rei to keep shut about it … but it was only a matter of time before the talk about our relationship spread like wildfire.

The birds were crying loudly while I stretched out slowly as if to escape from my morning slumber.

Initially, a sweet scent hit my nose. Consequently, I realized my blurred vision was slowly getting enveloped by white flesh-like color.

“… Nnn, Good Morning”

A clear, bell-like soothing voice reverberated into my ears. That voice … was coming from right next to me.

“Just how many times do I have to say before you finally understand? Don’t sneak into my futon.”

In front of me was a buck-naked childhood friend lying there like a cat.

It’s indeed an exciting sight to behold right after you wake up. That chest that laid bare before me was something that would not fit entirely into my palms. When I looked up a little higher, this beautiful girl was smiling straight at me. Her beautiful face can enthrall any mass of people. A face so beautiful that it can make 100 people instantly turn their heads towards her. … Kujou Rei.

“… Because you just don’t happen to wake up at all.”

“Is there any person who would sneak in buck-naked with an excuse such as th–…” “Ei~” “Nguu..”

When I opened my mouth to complain, she blocked it with her plump chest. Her sweet smell tickled my nostrils.

“Nn … satisfied~?”

“Hey brat, do you really think people will get distracted with your chest stuffed in their faces? For how many years do you think you have used this to wheedle me into your bush now?”

[TL note: wheedle = charm.]

It was a lie. Even at this very moment, my heart was completely in a state of war, bouncing forward and back.

“But your heart rate is fast, you know? And also here too.”

Perhaps she grabbed hold of my bloated stuff with her hand as if to prove her point.

[TL note: (¬‿¬)]

“… Ugh … Don’t grab hold of an adolescent boy’s thing. Honestly, it’s dirty.”

“…? there isn’t anything dirty in Mi-chan’s body, though? Or do you want me to purify it?”

[TL: Please do. Although I am already pure, I appreciate your action.]

“How often do I have to tell you not to call me that? It’s embarrassing. Call me by my first or last name. Moreover, don’t speak of things like that so lightly. You are a high-school girl now, aren’t you.”

“… But honestly, ‘Mi-chan’ this name is so cute.”

Saying so, Rei thrust her head back into the futon.

“Good morning to you too, Mi-chan’s Mii-chan.”

“Hey, you! Boundary-violator pervert brat. Stop there. Don’t you dare get close.”

I grabbed her shoulder and tried to shake her off. However, Rei was in a position with her palm pressed together in a prayer.

“… Why are you worshiping?”

“Because I don’t think your big one will go in that smoothly. I have to ask it to be kind to me during my first time, after all.”

“Hey, that way of putting it is way too uncensored! It’s not something that should be said to a man. Rather, please have some shame! Girl.”

“But … it used to be so small back then.”

“That is complex for me, you know. Everyone used to make fun of me during the swimming club.”

“I love you, alright? All and everything of Mi-chan and your body.”

“… You need to get a boyfriend soon.”

“No.”

Clearly, Rei is overwhelmingly dependent on me. I had to consult with her parents to fix her attachment. I even chose to enroll in another high school to get away from her.

Well, let’s just say that. The result was as you can see.

“First of all, do you really think I will ever go out with a guy other than Mi-chan? I don’t think so.”

“… If only you could start interacting with other boys. Anyway, I made a condition that you will go to a different high school than mine; I guess it was a miscalculation on my end?”

After realizing that I had changed into a different high school, she became wild in a grand manner. However, it was not just a simple hysterical cry; nothing like that at all; instead, she targeted the very hearts of people by quietly crying lonely in the shadows when nobody would watch her, which made the people around her even more traumatized.

And to top it off, as a last resort, “If I’m not able to meet Mi-chan anymore … maybe I should just establish an undeniable fact …?” As she was planning to attack me, I had no choice but to put off the conditions I discussed with her parents.

“But I also maintain a good relationship with boys, you know? I was approached by many boys some time ago and was even confessed to at least once a week.”

“… Then how about going out with a boy who confessed to you or at least someone handsome? I remember you were confessed by this boy in the next class the other day. He is in the soccer club if I am not wrong.”

“No”

“And why is that?”

“I like Mi-chan, and Mi-chan also likes me. Then why do I need to go out with someone other?”

“… That’s some amazing confidence.”

“Isn’t it natural? I’m trying so hard only for Mi-chan.—Or was it –? Mi-chan … do you hate me?”

—For a moment, I had this passing thought. That if I nod over here, everything will probably get solved.

“A~a”

I returned her a look that said my honest thought, she probably got incredibly hurt. I know that my heart would definitely get hurt if I did this, but it would become impossible for her to live without me if I didn’t.

“… Hicku” [(╥﹏╥)]

“……”

Even if Rei cries, I will make my heart as hard as a stone.

“… Uu”

My heart aches. But it is for Rei.

“… Then, a~a I–I’ll try hard to become the dream girl of Mi-chan! So please!”

It’s obvious that I know more than anyone that she had never cut corners on perfecting herself. [Editor note: cut corner means taking a short-cut]

Working out to maintain her body shape, immensely taking care of her beauty. She pays close attention to her body and applies appropriate beauty care products. She even pays close attention to maintaining her hair quality too.

“More … more so than ever, I will try to become what Mi-chan dreams of… So please…”

“A~ah! Enough already! Sorry! It was all my fault! I lied; it was all a lie!”

How grateful I would have been if she were to start disliking me. But she … can’t even think of hating me.

“The–then … is it okay to stay next to Mi-chan?”

“Please be! I was at fault over here! I’ll do anything; please forgive me!”

My heart is getting crushed by the tense atmosphere. I said that because I started to develop a guilty feeling.

[TL: HUGE DOUBT! Just accept it, dude. We all understand~]

“Than–k God.”

Rei hugged me tightly while saying so. Various things started hitting me, which was a big deal to resolve.

[Editor: Think with a pink brain ( ͡¬ ͜ʖ ͡¬)]

After hugging for a while, Rei stopped crying and smiled at close range.

“Mi-chan, I love you more than anything, you know?.”

Its destructive power was immeasurable.

“… I too”

Although we were engaging in such a conversation, we were just normal childhood friends. No more or less than that.

[TL: bruh, are you even aware of what is happening near you? You are well past that stage, damnit.]

I can never ever be her lover. Because…,

―Because no matter how you look at it, Rei and I do not look like a match for each other in any way possible.

“If Mi-chan isn’t confident about himself, then I’ll make you.”

As if reading my inner thoughts readily, Rei told me so.

“I love Mi-chan, so I’ll work my best to make Mi-chan have confidence in Mi-chan.”

“… Even though I should be the one doing that work, though.”

“I’ll just do my best to help Mi-chan do his best.”

My childhood friend told me such things with a smile on her face. 

“But I’m in trouble because I’ve been hit on by many guys lately.”

“Well, not a single guy exists who wouldn’t try to hit on a woman as gorgeous as you, Rei.”

“Even though Mi-chan always tries his best to get out by readily missing the chance to hit on that woman?”

“I’m instead scared as no matter how hard I try to miss the chance to hit, it just makes an unexpected swing and hits readily on the bat, you know.”

Coming to realize that the line of discussion was starting to deviate from its original course, Rei coughs to react as if to clear her throat. I don’t care about that either way. Instead, I beg you to put on clothes as soon as possible. She is so big that even whenever she coughs, it jiggles to and fro with just that little momentum.

“Just earlier, you said you would do anything, didn’t you?”

“… …A~ah”

I guess I cannot deny the fact that I oversaid it. Now, I have a feeling that if I don’t listen to what she asks me to do, I will get struck by a divi—

“The–then, pu–put a …kiss mark on me.”

“Huh !?”

Rei … she was looking at me; her eyes were moist.

“But … as expected, that is—”

“Even if I perceive it in this manner, I was really hurt from that, you know? It was enough to abstain myself from any social contact for three years straight.”

[TL: The Japanese letters said hikikomori…]

“Ku …”

… The guilt of hurting my dear childhood friend makes my heart gloomy.

Firstly, I sighed.

“… It can’t be helped; it’s only today, got it?”

“Yeah! Just these two places!”

“Shouldn’t it be just one …”

“Isn’t it natural? It can be easily mistaken for an insect bite if it’s just one place.”

I prepare myself mentally for the bleak future, consisting of long and deep sighs.

“So? Which places should I do it?”

Since I don’t have much time on me, I thought of quickly getting over with it. In doing so, Rei hung up her hair and pointed towards her nape and shoulders.

“Here”

“A~ah … I don’t know how to adjust my strength, so it might hurt a little, okay?”

“Rather, it’s a reward. Make it hurt.”

“Are you hardcore, M?”

“Whatever you do to me, Mi-chan, it’s a reward for me, though?”

Thinking that it is futile no matter what I say to this girl, I put my face around her nape.

The soft, spongy, sweet scent stimulates my nasal nerves as her body, devoid of any possible stain or wounds, comes in front of my line of sight.

When I touched my lips, I heard a voice “Nn~n.” leaking from her in reaction.

As I kiss her loudly, a sweet voice leaks as it runs down my ears and penetrates the inner linings of my brain.

As I let go after continuously kissing that spot for several minutes straight. That spot was protruding out red and swollen.

“How is it? Is it done well?”

Unable to confirm it herself, Rei asked me to confirm.

“… A~ah, I’m surprised about how well it’s done.”

“Really? If it’s a lie, I’ll let everyone know about it at school?”

“It’s true … I won’t lie regarding this.”

As I asked her to tell me the next place to do it, mentioning the lack of time, there was a moment of silence.

“…here”

Saying so, the place she pointed out was …

Her bare chest.

“Huh !?”

I screamed involuntarily; realizing that, I shut my mouth in a hurry.

“Now c’mon … that place is as expected.”

“… I was really hurt hard by that.”

“Ugh …”

Even if I stay silent, time will continue to tick.

I prepared myself for the future.

“… I don’t know if anything was to happen, okay.”

Pushing Rei down, I force my lips onto her bare chest.

“Fun~y~u”

As the shape changes readily, it becomes pretty difficult to put a mark.

“N~ … A~nn~ng,”

In addition, a completely different level of sweet scent and voice penetrated my brain even deeper as it got imprinted on the heart of my future self.

“Nnn, if it’s hard to mark me there, it’s okay to do it here too?… okay~.”

Saying so, the place Rei pointed onto was the bulging out small part right at the center of her chest.

“I politely refuse.”

If I do that, I feel I will lose various other things alongside it.

Realizing that it couldn’t be helped, I took the support of my hands to get hold of a part and sucked hard with a bite.

“N~nn! … A~hn, tha—so extreme!”

Rei’s body bounced almost instinctively … and laid down almost simultaneously.

“See, didn’t I warn you, don’t complain if anything were to happen.”

“Yeah … it was amazing.”

As I told that to Rei, who was kind of absentminded, what returned was only an ambiguous reply.

And so, the “request” Rei made to me ended, although It wasn’t the first time that Rei made a request like that ended up like this.

Although it’s rare for her to have her bare skin marked by me. Due to this, my defense power against these kinds of stuff has become like paper armor. To the degree that when it’s gone to extremes, She would ask for a lap pillow and have me clean her ears for her.

“… Now then, get dressed already. We will be leaving.”

“Ah … wait, what about the sheets …”

I would know about it even if you didn’t say it aloud.

“I’ll put it in the washing machine. Just get dressed now.”

Judging by it, it looks as if I did a really terrible thing. Moreover, it was a scene about which I could not say anything that could possibly defend me……However, Rei was just nodding and smiling happily in approval regarding it.
