Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Love at First Sight? Mai's lips
In Shizuku Kurogane's dorm room.
The two had just finished discussing Ikki Kurogane. The misunderstanding was cleared up, and Shizuku now felt completely disillusioned with him. She decided to see him only as an older brother from now on.
Of course, this was just an excuse. In truth, a new figure had taken root in her heart.
Then the notification for a trade appeared.
The two exchanged glances.
Shizuku hesitantly asked, "This trade… what is it about?"
Stella's eye twitched, and she eventually exploded in frustration, "That pervert is at it again!"
She looked helplessly at Shizuku and said, "That's right, it's exactly what you think. That guy is a massive pervert. I suggest you stay far away from him!"
"..."
Shizuku now fully understood the meaning of the trade.
"Is it because of that wager?"
Her gaze deepened. "But isn't it also because of you?"
"Uh... I..."
Stella shrank back, feeling guilty.
But Shizuku added in her mind, 'It's also because you led me to him.'
Love at first sight.
It truly exists.
However…
Shizuku didn't know how to judge Rei Ao's actions.
But…
"He must have his reasons."
When Shizuku said this, Stella gave her a strange look.
'Is she out of her mind?' A pervert is still a pervert—what reason does he need?
Yet Shizuku seemed to see everything clearly.
'If Rei Ao is as bad as Stella says, why doesn't she stay away from him?'
'Even though he saw her naked, she hasn't said a single harsh word to him.'
There was only one possible explanation: she wanted him to.
Stella noticed the determined look in Shizuku's eyes and felt a sudden chill.
"You... you haven't fallen for that guy, have you?"
Shizuku nodded, lowering her eyes. "Love at first sight."
She admitted it!
Stella was dumbfounded.
"Love at first sight… are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm perfectly fine. My heart is racing, telling me I've fallen for Rei Ao."
"Huh? Do you even realize the guy you like has already fooled around with two other chat group members, and right now, he's with the principal—"
"I know."
"You know, and still…?"
"Heh, those are just trades. True love is true love, and trades are trades. You don't understand."
Shizuku smiled slightly.
"..."
Stella felt her head spinning.
There's no saving this girl!
...
Late at night.
"You're back?"
Rei Ao had just returned home after an eventful time, feeling quite pleased.
He found Mai Sakurajima lying on the couch, wrapped in a bath towel, half asleep.
"Haah~"
She yawned and, upon seeing Rei Ao, stood up and headed to her bedroom.
Without much emotion, she said, "You look tired. Go to sleep."
Bang.
The door shut.
Rei Ao knew Mai was angry.
He sighed. There wasn't much he could do.
At least Kurono Shinguuji lived up to her age.
But it seemed like Mai had been waiting for him for quite a while, and now she was probably jealous.
He walked to her door and knocked softly, but Mai didn't respond.
So he said, "Mai, I won't close my door. I'll be waiting for you."
Then he headed back to his room.
This strategy was called "waiting for the rabbit."
Not long after—
Click!
The rabbit arrived.
Hearing footsteps and the sound of a door opening, Rei Ao, lying on the bed, smiled triumphantly.
Sure enough, Mai couldn't resist coming over.
In the dark room, Rei Ao felt her warm body slipping into the bed beside him.
Before he could say anything—
"Hiss!"
He sucked in a breath.
Mai had grabbed his most delicate area!
"Heh... so you can feel pain, huh?"
Mai chuckled coldly.
"..."
She misunderstood. Rei Ao wasn't in pain; it was just that Mai's soft hands were too much to handle.
Beast.
That was how Kurono Shinguuji had described him after their session, having fully submitted to him.
Rei Ao felt this was quite accurate.
Sure enough, Mai soon realized something was wrong.
"You… you don't have any limits, do you?"
Mai was shocked.
What she was holding seemed to be growing.
'Gulp...'
Mai nervously swallowed.
Suddenly, her sharp nose twitched.
"I smell… some older woman's scent."
She was clearly displeased.
"You seem quite proud of yourself?"
Her words were loaded with meaning.
Rei Ao grinned.
She was referring to the scent of Kurono Shinguuji, of course. Mai was definitely bothered by it.
"It was part of the trade. I couldn't avoid it," he offered a half-hearted explanation.
He then tried to shift the focus onto Mai.
"If you think I've picked up too many mixed scents, why don't you—"
"Shut up!"
Mai snapped, embarrassed and angry.
Rei Ao immediately fell silent, waiting.
After a moment.
Sensing something.
He smiled again.
He had won this gamble too.
"Mai, you've got such a soft heart beneath your sharp words."
"Hmm? You… say that again!"
Mai stammered, warning him.
Rei Ao quickly corrected himself.
"Ahem, I misspoke."
"Mai's lips is sweet and soft. Please continue."
