After being forced to take shelter from the rain on her way home from club activities, Riho was at a park halfway between her house and school.
Huddled inside the semi-circular, mysterious dome-shaped playground equipment with holes in several places, she looked up in a triangular sitting position when she noticed my presence upon my arrival.
“It seems like my childhood friend is having a pretty boring summer vacation, since he can immediately respond to my request to pick me up.”
It was a tongue-lashing that flew right out of her mouth.
But she looked happy.
“I’m sorry I’m such a boring person.”
“I didn’t say that. C’mon, let’s go—“
――Bzzzztt ! ! It was at that moment that a thunderclap rang out.
As Riho screams, the rain is starting to pick up speed.
It’s going to be tough to go home even with the umbrella I’ve been holding……
“…Is it okay if we continue to take shelter from the rain?”
“I think so,…..I don’t think it’s safe to go home now.”
So I went inside the dome too and sat down next to Riho.
The distance between us is just enough so that our shoulders don’t touch.
I could smell the good smell from Riho on her way home from club activities, even though she was supposed to smell sweaty.
No, I wonder.
I wonder if it’s not a good smell if someone else smells it.
It’s just that I like it.
Anyway, now.
What should I do?
All that remains of my disastrous tour is my confession to Riho.
She is the last boss.
I’m in a situation where no one is getting in my way.
There was no way I could not make the most of it.
I came here prepared and ready in my own way.
If that’s the case, I have no choice but to do it.
I’m nervous.
Even more so than when I made my first confession to Rine san yesterday.
Riho is a difficult girl.
She is not honest, and she is always outwardly tsundere with me.
It is no wonder that she uses hypnosis apps to help her.
I’m afraid to tell Riho that the hypnosis app is not real.
I can’t complain even if she hates me for having deceived her.
But I can’t be so afraid that I won’t reveal the truth to Riho alone.
I can’t do that.
After telling her the truth, I want to tell her one more important thing.
So, I took a few small, deep breaths.
Then, after calming down,
“Hey, Riho, there is something I’m keeping from you.”
I started out.
“What is it?”
“It’s about the hypnosis app.”
“…….”
Riho’s eyes widened.
“W-why do you remember the hypnosis app…..”
“I was acting, as it turns out.”
“—“
Despite Riho’s astonishment, I feel like a sinner confessing his sins.
I continued speaking, feeling my mouth becoming parched.
I wonder if the reason why I’m able to speak so fluently is because of my feeling of repentance.
“When you first showed me the hypnosis app, I wondered what would happen if I tried out acting…..as a result, you fell for it and even kissed me afterwards……it was only natural that I couldn’t stop acting.”
“…………”
“I think you’re an idiot for thinking it was real and I’m an idiot for continuing the act. …But if I have to choose, I’m the one who’s more stupid and the one who’s worse.”
Because I didn’t stop acting as quickly as I should have, I had to learn all about Riho’s hidden feelings. It was like eavesdropping. It’s not a big deal, but it’s not something to be praised for.
“……I’m sorry.”
As I sat up straight, I turned to Riho and said that.
Speaking of Riho, she was trembling.
I don’t know if it was because of the embarrassment of being deceived, or anger, or both,
“……Deserves to die.”
And the words that were spun were truly harsh…….
Of course,……in fact, I would say that the other three are too kind.
“To deceive someone through acting…isn’t that something that can only be seen as lacking in human heart?”
“……Yes……”
“Of course, I know that I shouldn’t have been praised for treating you with the hypnosis app…but, before I knew it, the feelings that I wanted to express to you someday became known…..”
The feelings I really wanted to convey someday…
It’s definitely about your kindness towards me.
Yes, that’s right,……I deprived Riho of the time for a straightforward confession.
That point is not the best.
The other three are probably the same in that regard, but Riho is a maiden more than any of the others, and the damage was probably the greatest.
“I’m sorry,……and I know apologizing may not be forgivable, but I really mean it”
Sincerity is….not a word, but a sum.”
…The words that suddenly came out were famous quotes left by baseball player Zeni Geba.
He was expressing a demand to the front office of the baseball team to show his sincerity by his annual salary rather than by words.
And that’s why she quoted her,
“In my case, of course I don’t need money….but I don’t need an apology either. Because that’s not what I’m looking for from Ryuto……”
It seems like I should show my sincerity through actions.
I know. I think I understand.
So I put my hand in my pocket.
There is a special item for Riho that I brought with me in preparation for the last boss battle.
I took it out.
It’s a sheet of paper.
Of course, it’s not just any piece of paper.
“—That’s…..”
Riho huffed.
“Yeah…..–marriage certificate.”
Yes, it is a marriage certificate.
I downloaded and printed it at home.
I have not written anything on it yet.
The reason why I brought it with me was, of course, my own sense of decisiveness, determination, and resolve.
“Riho, I like you.”
“Ryuto……”
“I’ve been in love with you ever since I was little. But I was embarrassed to say it to your face, so I ended up dragging you out here. …..I can’t say that I only love you because everyone else has a part of me that I have to take responsibility for……but Riho is the most special to me, so I want you to be the one I tied to on the family register.”
Due to the rules of this country, no matter how hard we try, we still can’t officially connect.
But by entrusting the marriage registration to Riho, I will make it a promise to keep what I just said in the future.
“Do you really……like me?”
Riho’s eyes were moist as she looked at the marriage registration that was presented to her.
“Of course. On the other hand, Riho, I want you to tell me exactly what you think of me.”
I know what she thinks of me without having to ask.
But now that we’re face to face, I want to be told clearly and honestly.
“….I like you.”
Riho said this while accepting the marriage registration, looking embarrassed but firmly. …I’m so happy.
“I’m no good without Ryuto, who’s been with me since I was a child… So, make sure you keep the promise you just said, okay?”
After saying that, Riho held out her right hand with her little finger raised.
Pinky promise, huh.
I made the same hand shape and joined my pinky fingers together.
“Yeah, absolutely.”
“So…..we’ve started dating, am I correct in my understanding?”
“Well, I think it’s fine.”
“…..Are you going out with Rina and the others as well?’
“It’s, uh,……we’re not going out, or rather, we’re going to try to negotiate whether it’s okay to have an informal relationship,…….”
“Then just to be clear…..it’ll be just me, right?”
“Yeah…that’s for sure.”
“Then I would like you to show that through your actions.”
After saying that, I noticed that Riho started to take off her clothes…I thought that what we do wouldn’t change at all after all.
So we had a messy sex after that.
We had two rounds in the playground.
After the rain eased off and we came home, we kissed and did it over the bed.
Even during dinner, I visited the living room while still connected, and found Moka surprised.
Riho and I were like beasts. As if to make up for our lack of honesty, we had sex after dinner, in the bath, and until we fell asleep.
I couldn’t move the next day because of muscle pain, and Riho went out to club activities as usual.
What a monster……
……That’s the thing.
The story of the hypnosis application surrounding me has thus come to a successful end.
But the story of my childhood friends is not over.
Rather, I have to think about how to deal with them from now on and aim for a better future.
It is my mission to make them happy, starting with Riho.
So my youth, or rather sexual spring, or seminal spring, will continue.
……I should probably start by building up my physical strength.
