Mashiro enters our living room for the first time in a while.
She’s wearing a plain T-shirt and long sweatpants.
It seems she’s taking what happened the other day to heart and is at least a little self-conscious about it.
“I’ll leave the curry here.”
“Oh, thanks.”
“……Hmph.”
After setting the pot on the table, Mashiro tries to leave the living room without saying a word.
“Huh? Are you leaving already?”
“Yeah.”
“You should stay and eat too, Mashiro.”
“Huh? Are you hopelessly stupid, Kensuke? Or rather, you are stupid, aren’t you? Ah, you were stupid. Yeah, you’re stupid. Stupid, stupid, and stupid. Stupid. A stupid idiot.”
“Could you please stop bombarding me with insults after you’ve wrapped things up in your own head?”
This isn’t even on the level of malice anymore.
“It’s a treat I’m sharing with you, so of course I’ve already eaten at home, right? Are you an idiot?”
“You don’t need to come up with variations on ‘idiot.’ Ah, right. I’ll get some tea.”
“I don’t want any.”
“Um… oh, there are some sweets my mom sent me. British sweets.”
“! …N-no, I don’t want any.”
She just reacted for a second.
Mashiro has a real sweet tooth, after all…
“What? Are you trying to stop me? What do you want to do by stopping me?”
“What do I want to do…”
“…Sigh. Kensuke seems to have the wrong idea lately, so I’ll make it clear to you this time. Okay? Listen carefully.”
Mashiro put her hands on her hips, glared at me sharply, and said.
“What happened before is in the past. Now is now, so don’t get the wrong idea. Bye.”
Mashiro finished speaking and reached for the doorknob of the living room.
I frantically racked my brain for a plan, and suddenly it hit me.
—Mashiro would definitely go for it.
“After all that big talk, is Mashiro just going to run away? Is that the kind of person you are? Ah, what a shame.”
Mashiro’s hand froze for a split second.
“Wh-what?”
“Oh, nothing. I was just thinking—you used to hang out at my place all the time, but you haven’t come by at all lately. And that’s been the case ever since that incident.”
“Huh?! I’m not running away or anything! Besides, didn’t I just say? What happened back then is in the past, and now is now…”
“Really? After all the taunting and mocking you did, aren’t you just trying to save face? Aren’t you afraid of our positions being reversed?”
“N-no, that’s… I mean, there’s no way that’s true, or rather… n-no, not at all. I’m not even thinking about it one bit.”
“Oh, really?”
“I-I really mean it! I don’t feel anything for Kensuke at all.”
“—Then you should have no problem relaxing at my place, right?”
Caught by my perfect lead-in, Mashiro let go of the doorknob and said.
“O-Of course. Hmph.”
Mashiro sat down in the chair with an air of superiority.
…I wonder.
Now that it’s come to this, I’m starting to think Mashiro might be a pushover.
No, actually, she probably is a pushover.
“Thanks for the meal.”
“…………Yeah.”
We polished off the curry we’d gotten from the Kamikurokawa family and drank coffee after the meal.
Right in front of me, Mashiro was devouring sweets with gusto and sipping tea elegantly.
“This is delicious… Hmm, this one’s good too… It’s so annoying.”
What’s with getting annoyed even by sweets?
Just as I mentally retorted, Mashiro noticed my gaze and glared back at me.
“What? Lusting after me again?”
“Stop assuming I’m getting horny just because I’m looking.”
“That’s impossible. Because…”
Mashiro started to speak, then froze.
Eventually, her face turned bright red.
“…What were you thinking about?”
“I-I wasn’t thinking about anything. Really, nothing… cough cough.”
“…………”
“I’m not choking, okay⁉”
“That’s a bit of a stretch, don’t you think?”
Seeing Mashiro glaring at me even more intensely, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Huh! W-what’s so funny⁉ Or rather, you’re the one who’s been acting weird lately! Getting all cocky… j-just because we d-did t-that… o-once, don’t you dare get a big head, okay⁉”
“……Huh? What did you say ‘do’?”
“Hmph! You know what I mean, don’t you? I don’t have to say it…”
“Are you embarrassed? By saying it to me? It’s just a word, after all.”
When I goaded her, Mashiro clenched her fists tightly, looking humiliated.
“I-I’m not embarrassed! Not by that…”
“Oh, really? Then—what does ‘that’ mean?”
“Ugh…!”
After downing her tea in one gulp, Mashiro’s face turned bright red as she said,
“S… s… s… SEX!!!!”
…
“Don’t… you dare ignore me!!”
“Guh!”
Mashiro leaned forward and started choking me.
So Mashiro actually realized she’d had sex with me… or rather.
“Hey, Mashiro! Calm down, I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die!”
“Go ahead and die… You’ll regret making me suffer this humiliation while groveling in hell!!”
“I’m sorry! I’m really sorry!”
—But anyway.
“Haa… haa… haa… I could see the River of Three Crossings…”
“Hmph.”
Mashiro crossed her arms and turned away, looking sulky.
“For someone like you, Kensuke, you’re getting way too cocky… It’s disgusting. It’s so disgusting that even saying ‘gross’ is a waste of words. Also, it’s disgusting.”
“You didn’t need to say that last part…”
“…Hmph.”
Watching Mashiro snort, I found myself laughing again.
“Huh!? You’re laughing again… You’ve always been weird, but did you get even weirder from lack of oxygen⁉”
“Sorry, sorry. It just felt kind of nostalgic.”
“Huh? Nostalgic? I don’t get what you mean…”
“Nostalgic is a weird word, but I just realized we’ve always been like this, haven’t we?”
Mashiro’s look of confusion deepened.
I continued, searching for the right words.
“Well, I don’t really know how to explain it. It’s just… ever since we were kids, I’ve always been at Mashiro’s mercy, or rather, getting scolded by him… You’ve really always been so selfish, haven’t you?”
“That’s a refreshing way to start, but isn’t that just a backhanded insult toward me…? Or rather, earlier, Kensuke was the one who…”
“No, I was just stating the facts. Actually, lately Mashiro hasn’t just been running me ragged—she’s been treating me like a lowly underling. Back when we were just childhood friends, I was actually higher in the pecking order.”
“Blabbering nonsense… Back then, you’d just cling to me, so it was still bearable. Seriously, you’ve grown up so badly.”
“If anyone should be saying that, it’s you, Mashiro.”
“That’s exactly the point.”
As expected, Mashiro and I are on the same wavelength in strange ways.
Even though we’re childhood friends, we aren’t really friends, and we aren’t just casual acquaintances either.
It’s almost like family, but of course we can’t call ourselves family, and Mashiro and I can’t exactly say we’re openly close.
But we’ve been interacting at a close distance ever since the day we first met, and whenever we exchange words, I feel like we’re connected in some way, somewhere.
“It’s weird, isn’t it, being childhood friends?”
As I muttered that without thinking, Mashiro took a sip of her tea and nodded.
“……Yeah.”
The sound of her mug clinking against the table echoed.
“…………Well, um… Mashiro and I, we ended up doing it, you know?”
“Bwahahaha!!!”
“Mashiro⁉”
“W-what are you suddenly talking about⁉ Are you an idiot⁉ Are you a moron⁉ Are we childhood friends⁉”
“Childhood friends aren’t in the same category as the previous two, you know⁉”
Mashiro wiped her mouth and slammed her fist down on the table.
“I mean, the weird one is Kensuke, right?! Don’t lump me in with ‘childhood friends’ and call me weird too! Don’t even let the word ‘weird’ touch me! Let Kensuke explode all by himself!!”
“Didn’t you just say, ‘Yeah, that’s right’?!?”
“H-he’s the weird one, Kensuke! Weird! H… h-he’s a pervert!!”
“No, no, if you’re going to say that, it’s Mashiro who’s…”
“W-what… W-wait, I’m not a pervert!!!”
“The ‘weird’ part? I wasn’t about to say ‘pervert’… …Well, but you were making such a lecherous face in that situation…”
“H-…!! T-that’s impossible… You’re the worst!!!”
Mashiro’s gaze grew even more intense.
“Kensuke, you might be sitting there all smug, thinking you got one over on me with that incident the other day… but I, I know the truth!”
“Know what?”
“Th-that Kensuke… has a photo of Shirahama-san, whom you used to like, tucked inside a, a, a… a dirty magazine!!! It’s rare these days, and that analog touch just makes you even more of a pervert, you pervert!!!”
“………………W-wait, how do you know that?”
How do you know that?
“How do you know that? How do you know that, how do you know that, how do you know that, how do you know that, how do you know that, how do you know that?!”
The cold sweat won’t stop.
Seeing me like this, Mashiro’s eyes took on a combative look.
“Hahaha… I’ve been thinking Kensuke needs some discipline lately. Acting all tough with me like he’s some big shot… I’ll have to teach him a lesson. About his place in this world…!”
“Aaaah!!”
Mashiro bolted out of the living room and ran up to the second floor where my room is.
“Stop it! Stop it, Mashiro!!”
I rushed after her in a panic to find Mashiro ransacking my room.
“It should’ve been here… Huh? Did you move it? Could it be that you…! H-hey, you pervert! I knew you were a pervert… You’re a total pervert!!”
“Calm down, Mashiro! Please, just calm down!”
“Kensukeneeds to be punished… Being cowardly, spineless, and good-for-nothing is Kensuke’s true nature! I’m going to remind him of that… No, I’m going to carve it into his memory so he’ll never forget it for the rest of his life! So he’ll never dare defy me again!!”
“That’s scary! Hey, Mashiro! Hey—whoa!”
As I reached out for Mashiro, I tripped over something and lost my balance.
With that momentum, I fell right onto Mashiro, and a loud crash echoed through the room.
“Ow, ow, ow…”
“What are you doing…?”
A moment later, our eyes met.
“!!!”
I was in a position where it looked like I’d pushed Mashiro down.
And right next to Mashiro’s face—the box of condoms I’d opened the other day.
““!!!!!!””
The situation was so chaotic that my mind went into a panic.
In that state, the first thing that caught my eye was Mashiro, her cheeks flushed and wearing a strangely seductive expression.
Her T-shirt accentuated the curves of her ample breasts, and a captivating, sweet scent wafted from her.
And this situation linked back to the memories of that day, that night.
“Uh, well…”
As a man, I’ll say this plainly.
I got incredibly turned on.
“W-what are you doing… G-get away from me…”
Furthermore, Mashiro’s attitude—trying to act tough but failing to pull it off, caught somewhere in between—only stoked my lust even more.
“…………”
――Under normal circumstances.
If a lucky pervert situation like this happened, it’d be standard procedure for someone to interrupt right when things are getting good.
And this is the second time. Yeah, that’s impossible.
“Y-you really are turned on, aren’t you… I can’t believe it. Even though you’re pathetic and spineless… even though you’re just a Kensuke who’s getting carried away… g-get off me… g-get, g-get off…”
Mashiro said this, but didn’t move.
No way. That’s right, no way. I told you, no way………….
――The next morning.
Birds were chirping.
In the bed, there were two naked people—two of them.
In other words, the so-called “morning chirp.”
“…………”
…………Eh, we did it.
