Chapter 16: What Yuya-kun likes…
As I was relaxing after finishing my pasta and washing the dishes, Hitotsuba-san remembered something suddenly and asked.
“Speaking of which. Do you still play that fantasy game, Yuya-kun? You haven’t finished the story yet, have you?”
It was true that I was only halfway through the story, just as Hitotsuba-san had mentioned. An hour or two before I went to bed would usually be the perfect time for me to play this game.
“But with you here I can’t just play the game. It would be too boring for you to just watch, wouldn’t it? After all, it would be only me who would be enjoying the game, right?”
It would be fine if it was a game that could be enjoyed by both of them, like a multiplayer game or a co-op game. However, that game being mentioned was a single player RPG game. If she happened to watch from the beginning, we both could have enjoyed the story together, but I am already at the middle part of the story. This makes it impossible for her to have fun with me while gaming.
“Hmmm, that’s true, but you don’t have to hold back because of me, okay? If you want, you can tell me the story or something. Then we can enjoy it together, right?”
It was a reasonable thing to say, and a genuinely nice offer for me. I was incredibly happy to hear it because she was trying hard to enjoy something which only I liked, together with me. I considered it to be a particularly important aspect to share hobbies with someone because then it would make you feel happy and enable you to feel each other’s warmth while doing the same things together.
But there was another reason why I had wanted to refuse. Was it wrong that I wanted to hide my sexual preferences from a girl?
I had a childhood friend with huge b*****s who was a member of my party, and I loved her. No matter how strong the enemy, I would use her as much as possible. Yes, she was what I would call my favorite character. But this fact would embarrass me if known by girls, let alone my male friends. No, not just embarrassment, but the mental damage I might receive, would make it impossible for me to show my face anymore.
But just as I was wondering how I could excuse myself, since directly saying something like this would be revealing my sexual interests, Hitotsuba-san dropped a bombshell on me.
“Yuya-kun, do you like women with big… b*****s, like the childhood friend heroine in the game?”
“… Huh? What are you saying?”
“Well, I think I’m just as good as her! I’m sure of that!”
Hitotsuba-san’s face closed towards mine. The two fruits dangerously dangled closely to one another with their smooth surface touching one another. Furthermore, she was wearing a ribbed knit dress with a silhouette that fit her body perfectly. That intensified her beauty more aggressively than usual. The posture of leaning forward together with her b*****s resting on the table was also bad for my eyes.
“Hey, Yuya-kun. Am I… not that attractive? I’ve been voted as the cutest high school girl in Japan, you know?”
“No… that’s… that’s…”
“I see, you don’t think of me like that… I’m so sad I’m going to cry…”
Hitotsuba-san cried, deliberately holding her face in one hand and imitating to cry. But it was quite obvious that she was just pretending which could be inferred from how she was glancing at me through her fingers. Well, I’ve been beaten up too many times yesterday and this morning, so let’s fight back here.
“Huh, Hitotsuba-san… you say, you are not attractive? How could that be? You may not know this, but I was one of the people who admired you. I thought you were just a diligent girl, but you turned out to be also a funny girl who enjoys talking. The way you behave is so cute, and the way you seduce me whenever you get a chance, and the way your face turns red is also cute. So, when a girl like you tells me I can do whatever I want with you, normally I wouldn’t be able to withstand my urges!”
I leaned forward, slapping the table with an excessive amount of force. Hitotsuba-san’s shoulders shook with fear. But while I could see the fear in her eyes, was there anticipation also mixed in? Or was that just my wishful delusion?
“Look, all men are wolves, okay? If you are too playful, I’ll… seriously attack you, you know? Do you really want that?”
My voice was trembling, and my hands were shaking as I said this. This forceful act wasn’t something I was used to performing, but I hoped this would make Hitotsuba-san feel a little better about herself. In truth, she was too tempting, so please don’t say anything rash to make me feel nervous.
But this was a completely bad move. It totally backfired. Because Hitotsuba-san gently held my face in her hands and brought her own face close to mine. What? Wait! You’re too close! The tip of your nose is touching mine! I’ve got your beautiful, soft, peach-colored lips right in front of me!
“I am, Yuya-kun. I really think that you and I can…, you know?”
“H-Hitotsuba-san… But that’s…”
“I know. I know, I understand. However, … I’m not going to hold back once you fall in love with me for real.”
Hitotsuba-san licked her tongue with a sharp, glazed look just like a predator. My heartbeat could be heard loudly. I couldn’t believe she was my classmate, because now she was so bewitching that I even had to gulp. I was afraid I was going to succumb like this.
“So, first of all, why don’t we shorten the distance? Of course, I don’t mean further from where we are now, I mean the distance between our hearts.”
At this point, Hitotsuba-san let me go. I let out a dumb ‘Ah’, feeling a little regretful. Smiling, Hitotsuba-san continued her story.
“Don’t you think it’s unfair that I’m the only one who calls you ‘Yuya-kun’ with your forename? I also want you to call me ‘Kaede’ instead of ‘Hitotsuba-san’. Can’t you…?”
A change from her bewitching expression. She now looked up at me with dull, moist eyes, like the Chihuahua that was currently dominating the commercials, and despite it being winter, my forehead began to sweat. I gulped down my saliva again, and a moment of silence descended over the living room.
But. This game of staring that began so abruptly, soon came to an end. There was no way I could win this game…
“Okay. I understand. I’ve lost, Kaede.”
I was really embarrassed about this. I could feel that my face was so red like a fire-breathing level of redness, right now. But Kaede’s face was also just as impressive, her cheeks turned as red as a tomato at the time of harvest.
“I’m so glad… thank you, Yuya-kun!”
The smile that appeared on her face along with her cheeks colored crimson like the setting sun seemed like a manifestation of an angel, and all I could do was to remain embarrassed.
