“Even if you say that, it would be a big deal if I also went missing…”
If Ibuki were to also go missing coincidentally that means he willingly took part in a crime… There’s no doubt about it!
In fact, it was already too big a big deal.
“…Don’t you want to go back home?”
“Absolutely not!”
Airi must have known that it’s not wise to make a big deal of this based on reason, but her emotions seemed to prevail even more.
At that moment, a question popped into Ibuki’s mind. What could have angered Airi so much?
“Why did you even argue with your parents in the first place?”
“Well… um…”
Airi mumbled in response to Ibuki’s question.
“Depending on the content, I’ll back you up.”
“…Because, well, Dad wants you to inherit the family… and in the end they had really high expectations from me as well. Seeing how things are going on I won’t get in the place I wanted to be.”
“…..”
Ibuki’s eyes widened in response to Airi’s words.
“Your desired department… Is that what you’re talking about?”
“I’m Dad’s daughter. I’m a doctor’s daughter… at least.”
Just as Ibuki thought that being a man was the same as thinking that, Airi also believed that she had to follow the right path as a doctor’s child. She thought that losing to someone who wasn’t a doctor’s child would be a shame.
“…That’s true, I guess.”
On the other hand, Ibuki nodded with understanding.
His long-standing question had been answered.
In reality, Airi was better at humanities subjects than science subjects. Ibuki couldn’t even compete with her in language grades.
And he was the worst at math.
Thinking about it, there was no other reason for her to be in the science class except for that.
“Yeah, your old man is to blame.”
“You think so?”
“Nevertheless, everyone is worried about you.”
If Ibuki returned home empty-handed, it could become a police matter. No, they might have already called the police.
That would be a problem.
Ibuki thought about what to do…
“In that case…”
Ibuki proposed telling both his and Airi’s parents that “Airi has been found.” Then, he’d tell Airi’s parents the opposite. They would stay here until the lie was exposed or until Airi felt like leaving.
“Okay, that’s fine. I understand.”
“….Ughhh.”
Airi shivered because of the chilly atmosphere.
She had just finished eating oden, which Ibuki had bought at the convenience store a little while ago. Now, she was sipping warm tea, but she still looked cold.
“Do you want to wear this?”
As Ibuki unbuttoned his school blazer, he asked Airi.
After some hesitation, Airi shook her head.
“I’m fine. But…”
“In exchange, let me inside.”
“…Huh?”
“You know, take it off.”
“What are you planning to do?”
While tilting his head in confusion, Ibuki took off his blazer…..
“Hyah!”
“Hey…”
Airi suddenly hugged him tightly.
Ibuki was surprised, but he didn’t pull away from Airi.
Her body was colder than he had expected.
“Hang the blazer around you.”
“O-Okay.”
Ibuki draped the blazer over Airi like a blanket.
“Ah… it’s warm. Hey, Ibuki, aren’t you cold?”
“It’s not a big deal.”
Of course, his body temperature was also being sapped due to Airi’s wet body from the rain, but he couldn’t complain. It was clear that Airi was much colder. So she was the priority for now.
“It’s just for appearances.”
“Should we take off our clothes?”
“Wouldn’t that make us even colder?”
“No, but, you know… in the mountains, they say you can warm up by touching skin to skin…”
Ibuki’s face blushed slightly at her words as he thought about the softness of Airi’s body. He averted his gaze.
“…If you want to do it, go ahead.”
“It’s a joke, but… Did you take it seriously?”
“You… are you trying to…”
Airi chuckled softly.
Then, she hugged Ibuki even tighter, pressing her body against his.
He could feel a slightly raw warmth through his skin.
“Hey, Ibuki…”
“What’s up?”
“Pat my head.”
“What’s gotten into you?”
“Right now, I just want to be spoiled!”
“Is this okay?”
Ibuki lightly stroked Airi’s head.
Her fine, golden hair was slightly damp from the rain.
“Earlier, the piano…”
“…What about it?”
Suddenly, Airi brought up the topic, and Ibuki was puzzled.
He didn’t want to discuss it because it was like a sore spot for him, a part he wasn’t proud of.
“I thought you were a better person. I thought you were perfect.”
Airi murmured quietly, then she looked up at Ibuki with moist eyes.
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Hey, Ibuki.”
While gazing at Ibuki with her glistening eyes, Airi moved her lips.
“…Can I kiss you?”
“Are you teasing me again… Mmm?!”
Airi suddenly sealed Ibuki’s lips with hers.
