“How do you feel? Does it feel good?”
“Well, it feels good.”
“Fufu, that’s good.”
I was getting a massage from Reisa on my bed in my room.
Of course, the massage was a healthy one.
The massage was just a simple acupressure, although it could be mistaken because of Reisa’s desire to create a dreary atmosphere.
I was lying on my face, and she was pressing my shoulder blades.
“Oh, ah.”
“Don’t make that sexually suggestive voice.”
“…Don’t say such disgusting things.”
After about five minutes of massage, I couldn’t stand it any longer and I sat up.
Reisa looks at me with a puzzled expression.
Apparently she means no harm.
It’s my fault for letting my voice leak out, but it’s embarrassing to have it picked up every once in a while.
I look around the room, feeling bad about the situation.
The lights are off, so my voice sounds really abysmal.
It’s dark, so I can’t tell exactly what’s going on, but I think it’s funny that Reisa is so unconcerned.
Coughing, I asked her about the current situation, which had begun unceremoniously.
“So, why the massage?”
I asked, and she touched my shoulder.
“You know how you were napping during lunch break the other day? You said your shoulders were tight, so I thought I’d give you a little massage.”
“It’s true, my body is screaming.”
My body was also at its limit because of the long hours of studying, stiffening in the same posture.
And after just a little massage from Reisa, it already feels a little easier to lift my arms.
I realized such a thing while rotating my shoulders.
It’s a sad problem even though I’m still in my teens.
She pushed me back and said.
“So I’ll do it some more. If you feel sleepy, you can go straight to sleep.”
“…..I can’t.”
“Hm? What did you say?”
“No, nothing.”
I’m a man, too.
I don’t have the nerve to just stay calm and receive a massage in this situation.
To be honest, every time she touched me, I was nervous.
The darkness of the room further aggravated this feeling.
I lay down again as he urged me to do, and this time she rubbed my waist.
I was surprised that she was so good at it with just the right amount of force.
“But, please call me Reisa. You don’t have to use honorifics.”
“……Reisa?”
“Moo ! Don’t do it all of a sudden !”
“Gghhhh ! Which one is it !”
Another voice leaked out as the excited Reisa punched me in the kidney area.
This guy either wants to unwind or harden, damn it.
I’m in a situation where I’m alone with a beautiful girl in my room at night and she’s massaging me, but it somehow feels like a comedy sketch when it’s just me and Reisa.
“I mean, how long are you going to be here?”
The time was dropping rapidly and it was almost 11 o’clock when I asked her that, and she laughed.
“Well, I guess I’ll stay the night then.”
“No, please don’t.”
“That bfast !? You have a chance to be alone with such a beautiful girl !”
“If you insist so much, I can teach you from now until morning.”
“I’m going home.”
“Good.”
I’m getting used to handling Reisa nowadays.
Even so, the room was filled with a pleasant smell that I was not used to, and I almost forgot that I was in my own room.
Why does he leave such a sweet smell in the room, even though we had just grilled meat?
It’s as if she had sprayed some perfume somewhere before coming back to this house.
Come to think of it, I don’t remember ever touching anything with garlic such as sauce when we were having yakiniku.
Maybe because she’s a girl, she cares about that kind of thing.
After the massage was over, we turned on the light in the room and faced each other.
The fact that we were on the bed made me feel guilty, but of course I didn’t do anything.
I tilted my head at Reisa, who was blushing and silent for some reason.
“What’s wrong? Are you embarrassed now?”
“Uh-uh. I don’t think so.”
“I know.”
I can’t imagine that anyone other than Reisa would be embarrassed by something like this.
She has lots of friends and is close to the boys, and her communication skills are far beyond what you’d expect from a beginner.
Thinking about that made her laugh.
“Thank you for listening to such a ridiculous question today. I’m glad that you used your precious day off for us instead of studying.”
“You’re still saying that? You don’t need to worry about it.”
“B-but…I know why Tsukushi is studying and how hard he usually works.”
“…….”
Certainly, it’s inevitable that she would think that if she saw the normal me, I guess.
Unlike Nagisa, Reisa knows that during the first semester I spent the whole time studying at my desk, not speaking to anyone except Kako.
So it’s not surprising that she would mistakenly think that I was forcing myself to fit in with her.
But there was no way.
I was usually too shy to say it, but today, perhaps because it was nighttime and I was in high spirits, the words just poured out of my mouth.
“….I’m the one who’s grateful to you.”
“Eh?”
“I’ve been having a lot of fun lately because you’re here, Reisa. I had only been studying for a long time, but you gave me color in my world.As a result, I think that has led to a broadening of my horizons, and that has led to my grades improving…”
My face was so hot that I felt like I was going to cry.
Lame.
I gave a wry smile to cover it up, but Reisa looked at me with a rare straight face.
I thought she was going to make fun of me, so I felt uncomfortable.
“So please don’t think that you’re bothering or anything. I’m with you because I like you. Of course I’m grateful to Amakusa san, but you’re the one who gave me the opportunity.”
“!? …..Kaaa.”
“Kaa?”
Reisa opened her mouth with a straight face and let out incomprehensible sounds.
Then she leaned back, then came back up with her eyes wide open.
“Is that for real?”
“…..I’m serious.”
“Uaaaaaaa. I’ve never been so happy in my life……”
I thought back once again to what I had said to her, who was so overjoyed.
And I wanted to die.
“I’m sorry, forget it.”
“Ha? I can’t ! I’ll carry it with me to my grave.”
“No, no, no, that’s too much of an exaggeration ! Throw it away halfway through !”
It is a mild form of torture to be remembered with such stinking lines until one’s death.
It was unbearable.
But as I said this desperately, Reisa turned away.
“No way ! Wait, are you serious? So that’s how you felt. Uhehe, heehee, heeheehee.”
“Anyway ! You don’t need to worry too much about me from now on ! Ah, but please pay a little attention to me !”
“Which is it? Ah, I have a stomach ache.”
Reisa’s eyes were filled with tears as she laughed.
I wonder just how much of it hit the spot.
She still likes to make fun of other people.
After laughing a lot, Reisa stood up.
“I’m going home.”
“O-oh. Be quick.”
The switch was so abrupt that I said something like that even though I had no intention of stopping her.
She left the room and picked up her bag on the dining room chair.
“I really had something I was gonna tell you. But I’ll tell you another time.”
“?”
“Hahaha, it’s a secret for now.”
Reisa said this to herself with a wry smile, and for some reason I laughed too.
I’m glad you enjoyed it, at any rate.
I had put a lot of effort into blurting out my true feelings, so I was somewhat saved by the exaggerated reaction.
She also thanked me for the quiz, so there was no debt.
Once our relationship was on an equal footing, she waved her hand.
“See you at school.”
“Yeah.”
After seeing Reisa off as she left the house, the party was finally truly over.
After cleaning up and taking a bath, I returned to my room to go to bed.
The scent of Reisa’s perfume lingered on the bed for a while.
“No, I can’t sleep.”
My eyes were busted open for a while that day.
