――Morning.
“I’m off!”
“See you later.”
I stopped right after stepping out of the house and glanced next door.
Because I’ve felt this sensation countless times before,
“”……Oh.””
I happened to make eye contact with her as she came out of the house next door.
“……What? Are you staring at me first thing in the morning?”
“I’m not exactly a new face, am I?”
“That’s why I asked.”
She snorts and looks away, looking annoyed.
――Kamikurokawa Mashiro.
Long black hair, black tights, a cool beauty with fair, flawless skin.
With her almond-shaped eyes and aloof expression, she exudes an aura that keeps others at bay—a genuine beauty worthy of being called a “princess out of reach.”
I start walking alongside Mashiro.
We didn’t make a promise to walk to school together, but we’re headed to the same high school.
“You’re a little too close. Could you back off? At least ten meters.”
“Do you find it fun to demand an impossible distance?”
“It is fun. After all, this is pretty much the only way left for me to enjoy Kensuke.”
“I think the problem lies in the lack of options on the part of the one doing the enjoying.”
“It’s the problem of the mediocre Kensuke who’s been hanging around by my side for over a decade and hasn’t managed to come up with anything better. Realize it, reflect on it, and reincarnate.”
“I’d be happy about that, wouldn’t I, if I was a masochist.”
Unfortunately, I don’t have any particular kinks.
As I looked displeased, Mashiro sighed.
“If you can’t stand me saying things to you, then you’d better work on improving yourself. That spineless, cowardly personality of yours, and everything else… well, everything? That’s quite a task. Good luck? Not that I’m rooting for you, though.”
“You’re just saying things you don’t need to say…”
Seriously, I wonder when she turned into such a jerk…
Back in the day, she was just a spoiled little girl—she still had her cute moments.
I heard someone calling “Mashiro~!” from a distance.
A few girls from our class were standing there, and Mashiro waved back at them.
“How nice for you. You got to come to school with me, even if just for a little while, on this gloomy Monday. For someone like you, Kensuke.”
“Thanks a lot.”
Saying it half-heartedly, Mashiro snorted and quickly joined the girls from her class.
“Good morning, Mashiro!”
“Isn’t it rare to see you with Kita-kun?”
“Aren’t you childhood friends?”
“Yeah. Much to my regret.”
That unnecessary comment…
“Oh, are you two maybe dating or something?”
At those words, which she’d heard countless times before, Mashiro chuckled.
“Of course not! Kensuke is just a lowly underling. An equal relationship like lovers—that’s impossible.”
“Huh, really?”
“You two always have this weird distance where I can’t tell if you’re getting along or not.”
“That’s just how it is with real-life childhood friends.”
Mashiro and the other girls in our class walked further ahead.
I stared blankly at their backs and thought to myself.
“…Haa, really.”
Today, just like every other day, my childhood friend was acting all high and mighty, just like a queen.
Class 2-D, the classroom in the morning.
Amidst the commotion, I was studying for a quiz at my desk.
As for Mashiro, who was in the same class, a group of students was gathered around her desk, chatting happily.
I glanced over casually when a backpack thudded down on the desk next to me.
“Why are you staring at Mashiro so much? Can you hear them talking~?”
“Nothing to talk about.”
“Haha, Kitachi’s being sharp again today.”
The female student laughed gleefully.
—Hase Yaeko.
A slightly “gal”-style girl with a flashy appearance, characterized by her loose, wavy blonde hair.
She has an elusive personality—it’s hard to tell what she’s thinking—but she’s popular in class and one of Mashiro’s few friends.
“Well, any guy would check her out, right? No flattery needed—she’s the cutest girl in school, isn’t she? She’s got an amazing figure and is super popular with the guys, but she’s got this S-side to her and keeps her guard up, flat-out rejecting any confessions. She’s like a ‘real-life unattainable beauty’!”
“Why are you explaining it like that?”
“That’s exactly the kind of thing that tickles a guy’s fancy, isn’t it?”
“…Well, I guess so.”
“Huh, you admit it so easily. Could it be that you… like Mashiro, Kit-chan?”
“No way, We’ve been together for over ten years, and lately she’s just been treating me like a lowly underling and making fun of me all the time.”
Hase looked at me and said casually, “Hmm.”
“But you still get a little turned on, right?”
I couldn’t help but burst out laughing at Hase’s words.
“W-what the hell are you talking about?!”
“Come on, you do, right?”
“No way!”
“…Trying to act tough?”
“I’m not acting tough!”
I’m serious! I-I really am.
“Yako!”
One of the group beckoned to Hase.
Hase slowly put her textbook away on her desk and called out, “Okay, coming!” before joining the group.
“Yaeko, what were you talking about with Kensuke? I mean, do you even have anything to talk about with him? You don’t, right? Yeah, obviously not.”
“Whoa, today’s Mashiro’s gonna be a blast!”
“What’s with that ‘whoa’?”
I glanced at Mashiro and Hase chatting happily, then shifted my gaze out the window.
“(……Isn’t Mashiro making fun of me a little too much lately?)”
Yeah, it kind of pisses me off.
…And to be honest, just like Hase said, it does get me a little worked up.
Just between us, though.
――Night.
I’d just finished dinner and was in the mood to relax.
I was thinking of watching TV in the living room, but…
“Could you not change the channel without asking? I’m watching it.”
Mashiro had taken over the sofa and the remote, relaxing as if the place belonged to her.
“Why are you at my house again? Your place is right next door, isn’t it?”
“That’s right. Even though I don’t like it.”
Another unnecessary comment…
“Listen…”
“It’s just the perfect place to relax. There’s no one here but Kensuke, it’s spacious and quiet, and there are snacks.”
“My house isn’t a public space.”
“I’ve got permission from aunt. End of story.”
“Don’t just go and declare this a victory for you…”
And so, every now and then, Mashiro comes over to my place to relax.
My parents are often away on business trips overseas, so the house is usually empty, and I basically live alone.
To Mashiro, I might as well not be there, so she probably feels she can let her hair down without a care in the world at my place.
“…………”
That said, I’m a healthy high school boy.
No matter how cool our relationship is, and no matter how clear our hierarchy is.
When she’s dressed in a baggy T-shirt and shorts—an outfit that’s pretty provocative—and I catch a glimpse of her underwear or stomach every now and then, it’s only natural that I get a little turned on.
She acts like a little queen and it pisses me off, but there’s no denying she’s a beauty… and to be honest, she’s pretty damn sexy.
“……Mashiro”
“What?”
“Seriously, what’s up with that outfit?”
“outfit?”
Mashiro looked down at her own body.
“……What? Are you saying, Kensuke, that you’re lusting after me?”
“No, I’m not lusting after you, but… it’s dangerous, isn’t it? Normally. Even if we’re childhood friends, doing that in front of a guy your age… we’re not elementary school kids anymore.”
As I stammered out my words, she responded with a mocking laugh.
“What are you talking about? There’s no way I’d go out of my way to be careful just because of a spineless guy like you.”
“H-huh?! What the hell is that supposed to mean?!”
“Even if you act all proper like that, you can’t do anything to me, can you, Kensuke? You’re such a wimp—the kind who turns bright red just from touching a girl’s hand, who can’t even bring yourself to talk to me properly.”
“T-that’s not—”
“If you want to act all grown-up, you should just accept your own weakness, cowardice, and lack of backbone. Good luck with that? Not that I’m rooting for you, though.”
“! Do you find it fun to make fun of me like that?!”
When I said that, Mashiro let out a soft chuckle and replied.
“It is fun, isn’t it? After all, this is pretty much the only way left to enjoy Kensuke.”
Hearing those words for the second time today, for some reason, it really shook me to the core.
“…Just shut up and do it properly.”
“You’re still going on about that? …Sigh. Seriously, you’re such a disappointment, Kensuke. Even if you say that—”
And then Mashiro spoke, as if she truly looked down on me from the bottom of her heart.
“You don’t even have the guts to push me down anyway.”
Lately, Mashiro has been saying this to me over and over again, almost like a catchphrase.
The moment she said it, I heard something snap inside me.
“You don’t even have the courage to lay a finger on me, do you? You’d just get too shy. Poor thing. Not that I feel sorry for you, though.”
“…………”
“Save that for when you’ve got the guts to push me down. Though, I doubt that day will ever come for you, Kensuke.”
“……Ah, right. I see.”
“If you get it, could you bring me some water? I’m thirsty.”
“Sure, I’ll do it.”
“O-okay—kyaa!”
I grabbed Mashiro’s shoulder with a firm grip.
And just like that, I pushed her down onto the sofa.
For someone with such a big attitude, she had a surprisingly slender build.
“K, Kensuke? W, what are you doing?”
“……You really provoked me, didn’t you?”
“Huh? I don’t understand what you mean……”
I was already pissed off.
And then—
I got horny!!!
“Kensuke⁉”
I picked up Mashiro and carried her up to the bed in the upstairs room.
Mashiro’s face was bright red, and she froze, clearly confused.
“…………Huh?”
I pinned her down, propping myself up on both hands beside her face and looming over her.
There’s no escaping now. Or rather, I’m not letting her get away!
“K, Kensuke…?”
Mashiro stared at me with teary eyes.
Her cheeks were flushed, and her seductive expression only aroused me further.
“You’ve been taunting me nonstop—calling me spineless, a coward, saying I don’t even have the guts to push someone down… I mean, you’ve been doing it for ages now.”
“A-are you angry? Not getting angry no matter what you’re told or done to you was the only decent thing about you, Kensuke…”
I brought my face close to Mashiro’s.
Mashiro flinched.
“W-what are you planning to do? You’re not actually going to lay a hand on me, are you?”
“Far from just pushing you down, I’ve got the guts to keep you awake all night, you know.”
“H-huh?! Are you serious?! Do you really think you’d get away with something like that…”
“Come on, Mashiro, you haven’t been taunting me all this time just to chicken out now, have you?”
“! …N-no way! I don’t feel anything… not for someone like you, Kensuke.”
Ugh… If that’s how you’re going to play it.
“Yaaah! K-Kensuke?! Ugh… W-what are you doing touching my ear… Ah, wait a sec…”
I slid my hand along the line of her face, starting from Mashiro’s right cheek.
A hot, sweet sigh escaped from Mashiro’s lips.
Along with it, the stiff expression on Mashiro’s face began to melt away.
“What’s with that face? Are you blushing?”
“I-I’m not blushing, am I? Not over someone like Kensuke…”
“H-huh? Well then…”
I swallowed hard and slowly slid my hand down from her face.
Mashiro’s body twitched in response once again.
“Huh⁉ K, Kensuke⁉ W, where are you touching…!”
Honestly, it’s hot, it’s embarrassing, and I don’t know what’s going on.
But whether it’s Mashiro’s soft body wherever I touch, her sweet scent, or this situation itself—everything, absolutely everything, is just too erotic to care!
“W-wait… s-stop… K-Kensuke…!”
“So once I actually push you down, you give in, Masahiro. To me, who you have been taunting and mocking all this time, so easily.”
“!!!”
Mashiro glares at me, her face flushed bright red.
“N-no way! …W-well, go ahead and try if you think you can… you coward.”
“! …Don’t say I didn’t warn you if you regret this later, okay?”
“It’s you who’ll regret it, Kensuke. —You won’t be able to do anything anyway.”
Those were her last words.
“Huh!!! Not there… mmph, K, Kensuke…! Ah… wait…”
Mashiro’s “queen” facade crumbled to pieces, revealing the innocent maiden beneath.
I can’t take it anymore. I can’t back down now.
So… I…!
“Ah… no… K, Kensuke…!!!”
Facing Mashiro, I declared with a strength I’d never felt before.
“—Mashiro, you said it yourself.”
――The next morning.
Birds were chirping away.
In the bed, there were two naked people—just the two of us.
In other words, it was a classic “morning chirp” situation.
“…………!!!!”
Next to me, a completely naked Mashiro was covering her face.
Her ears were bright red, and all of yesterday’s bravado was gone; she just looked utterly embarrassed.
“-! ………… D-don’t… look… at me…”
She noticed my gaze and pulled the covers up tighter.
…Ah, I did it.
………………I did it.
I ended up… doing it with my cocky childhood friend.
