Chapter 403: Can Friends Do This Kind of Thing?
"Sakurai-san, was that person just now really your mother?"
Are you sure that wasn't your older sister?
Nakano Itsuki held a skewer of hanami dango as she sat in Sakurai Saki's room.
"I should be the one asking you—why did you suddenly run into my room?"
"Your mom told me to come up and hang out, didn't she?"
"…She must have misunderstood again." Sakurai Saki spoke with a "yare yare daze" tone.
"Misunderstood?"
Itsuki chewed her dango, her mouth full so her words were unclear: "What is there to misunderstand between us?"
"She thinks we're not in a normal friends relationship."
"But we are clearly normal friends…" Itsuki said, then suddenly remembered the receptionist downstairs. The corner of her mouth twitched: "Sakurai-san, so you really are the type of scumbag who brings girls home for the night?"
"I'm very sorry to tell you, I am exactly that type of scumbag."
Receiving such an answer, Itsuki was shocked: "Eh? You're not denying it?"
"What is there to deny?"
Sakurai Saki had absolutely no intention of denying this sort of thing.
Nakano Itsuki swallowed all the remaining dango on the skewer, then stood up: "Umm… Sakurai-san, I… I'll go home first."
She was afraid that if she stayed, she would lose her virginity in the next second.
"I'm completely not interested in you. Even if you stripped naked and pole-danced, I'd be too lazy to touch you."
Hearing that, Nakano Itsuki immediately stopped walking, then sat back down on the tatami.
She stared at Sakurai Saki and said unhappily: "Scumbag, who are you looking down on?"
"Did I deny your appeal? What? Are you upset because I didn't 'scumbag' you a little?" Sakurai Saki looked at her with a strange expression.
Don't offer yourself up like that.
I can't handle it.
"'Even if you stripped naked and pole-danced, I'd be too lazy to touch you?' That's what you said, right?" Nakano Itsuki gritted her teeth, leaned in, and pushed him down to the floor.
Before Sakurai Saki could react, she had already pinned him: "…I'm really not interested in you."
After all, the five of you sisters have almost the same figure.
If I had to bully someone, I'd rather go bully Nino.
Also, Itsuki, isn't your character supposed to be a serious, obedient student? Why is there also a bit of "little evil" mixed in?
"Why?"
"We're friends."
Sakurai Saki looked at her face so close in front of him, feeling her sweet breath at such a short distance, then turned his face away to avoid her gaze.
This brat had absolutely no sense of boundaries between men and women, barging into a boy's room was one thing, but now she even pinned him down without a shred of embarrassment.
"I clearly confessed to you this morning! If you answer like that, aren't you denying my attractiveness?"
Nakano Itsuki was still a girl—she liked eating, but anyone could tell she cared about her weight, which meant she cared about her charm as a girl.
Suddenly being judged with such words, she naturally got angry.
"Then what do you want me to say? That I like your body, that when I see you I immediately want to pin you down and [beep-], [beep-], and [beep-] you?"
"…Pervert!"
"That unreasonable attitude reminds me of Nino. As expected of sisters, the two of you are exactly the same in that area."
"I'm completely different from her. How could I possibly be that type of person." Nakano Itsuki turned her head away, denying it.
The five Nakano sisters looked very similar, but being told you were exactly like one of your sisters was something none of them liked.
"She's a big tsundere, and you're a small tsundere. True, not the same. The degree of saying one thing but meaning another is a little different—Nino is more stubborn." As Sakurai Saki spoke, he placed his hand on her shoulder.
"W-what are you doing?" Feeling the hand on her shoulder, Itsuki reacted like a startled little rabbit and quickly backed away several steps.
She stood up in a rush, retreating all the way until her back hit the wall, only then did she feel a bit safer.
"Weren't you the one who attacked me first? And now you're asking me?"
Sakurai Saki stood up from the floor and straightened his clothes.
Then he slowly stepped toward her.
Itsuki was forced back against the wall, unable to retreat any further. Her voice trembled: "Don't come over here! I…"
Seeing his silhouette drawing closer and closer—
Itsuki swallowed hard.
"You once said that if I managed to bring Nino back, even kissing me one more time would be fine? I'm not remembering wrong, am I?"
"That was three months ago, wasn't it? Invalid! Expired!" Itsuki hadn't even finished speaking when her mouth was covered.
A few seconds later.
Nakano Itsuki tried to push him away with all her strength, but she realized she couldn't do it at all with her own power.
With no other choice, she could only try relaxing her body, taking the initiative to melt into it.
After all, she had made that promise.
And Itsuki didn't want to break her word.
But the more they kissed, the faster her heart beat, and her body grew hotter.
It felt like a lock inside her was about to break—Itsuki slowly lost control of her body, the fire of desire blazing fiercely, and she even began responding on her own.
Just when the atmosphere between the two grew hazy and they were about to lose control and move to the next step, footsteps sounded from outside the door.
"!!!" Itsuki suddenly came back to her senses.
She lowered her head and looked at her clothes, half pulled open.
The possibility of being discovered at any moment made her both embarrassed and strangely excited.
'What do I do now?'
Just a few minutes of giving in to desire and she had already ended up like this! Could it be there was some strange succubus living in her heart?
Itsuki's cheeks were burning red—she felt like the "real Itsuki" had completely disappeared just now.
She wasn't that lewd!
Itsuki whispered softly: "Sakurai-san, let go~"
"It's fine. I locked the door." Sakurai Saki lifted her snow-white chin.
At this point, did he think stopping was possible, Itsuki?
"Let go, don't be like this!"
She absolutely did not want his mother seeing her as some weird kind of woman—visiting for the first time and already doing that in her son's room.
"But your heartbeat is getting faster, you know?"
"..."
"You also find it exciting, right?"
"N-no way!" Even if she died, Itsuki would never admit it.
"Don't make any noise, okay? If we get caught, we're done for, right?"
As soon as he said that—
A mature, seductive woman's voice came from outside the door:
"Treasure, dinner is ready, you two can come down to eat now."
Sakurai Saki looked at Itsuki's body trembling uncontrollably from excitement, and answered: "I'm not hungry, I just ate dango."
"Is that so? What about you, Itsuki-chan? Are you hungry?"
"Not hungry… mm~"
"What's wrong? Your voice sounds strange. You two aren't doing anything weird in there, right?"
"No, we're playing a game."
"Don't play too long, okay? After you finish, come down to eat."
After saying that, the footsteps slowly faded away.
Nakano Itsuki let out a sigh of relief, her whole body going limp as if finally freed.
But she hadn't even fully relaxed yet—
"Want to continue?"
Hearing that, Nakano Itsuki gave him a charming sideways glance.
"What are you saying? How could I possibly… give up."
They had already come this far.
Nakano Itsuki turned her head, letting out a soft "mn~."
But… they were just friends. Was it really okay to do something like this?
A tiny bit of rationality still lingered in Itsuki's mind.
But very quickly, that bit of rationality was wiped clean by pleasure.
"Probably… it's fine, right?"
...
