“Matsuda-kun, I saw online that… having honest conversations between couples really helps the relationship. Don’t try to solve things alone. Got it?”

Don’t solve things alone? Right now, now that Miyuki knows I have porn in my laptop, it sounded like a very ambiguous expression.

Pulling the car up in front of Miyuki’s house, I turned to look at her with an expression that feigned ignorance of her meaning.

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“It’s nothing. I’m heading in, okay? Keep the sticker photos safe.”

“Okay. Go on.”

“You’re going to shower when you get back, right? I’ll video call you in an hour.”

“Got it.”

Until she went inside the house, Miyuki looked back several times. It was something she often did, but… her face was different from usual. It held a trace of anxiety, as if she was a little child that had been just dropped in the middle of an amusement park.

Did she think I was going to pleasure myself alone as soon as I got back?

It seemed like Miyuki was starting to seriously test the waters… and conveniently, she mentioned a video call. I guess I’ll put on some porn when the timing is right.

Or maybe I should just ignore her calls entirely, let the worried Miyuki come find me herself, and then let her see me masturbating? No, that was going too far.

Given that I’d even received a handjob, and Miyuki’s love for me was currently very deep, my favorability rating probably wouldn’t drop no matter what I did, but…

Even without going that far, just getting caught red-handed watching it should be enough to create an opportunity for an open conversation. I also don’t want to make Miyuki suffer unnecessarily.

Returning home, I finished showering and placed the laptop on the futon. Then, I turned on a threesome porn video and paused it after finding the most dramatic scene: a part where one woman was caressing the man’s chest from behind, while another was pinned underneath, being penetrated.

This should be enough. The preparations were complete.

*bzzzzz!*

In that state, I was fiddling with my phone, passing the time, when a video call came in from Miyuki. I tucked a pillow under my chest, lay face down, and pressed the call button.

Soon, Miyuki’s bare face appeared on the screen. Internally admiring how radiant she looked even without makeup, I asked bluntly.

“Did you shower?”

– Yeah․ But didn’t you dry your hair properly?

“I just wiped it roughly with a towel.”

– I told you to dry it properly. If your scalp gets bad, you’ll end up losing your hair.

“My hair won’t fall off.”

– Won’t you listen?

“Stop nagging and lower the camera a bit.”

– Why?

“Quickly.”

Miyuki’s puzzled expression changed completely. She seemed to have noticed I was trying to see her chest. Letting out a long sigh, she was about to scold me with a stern face but paused.

– …Matsuda-kun. By any chance, have you been feeling… overwhelming sexual urges lately?

“What are you suddenly talking about?”

– No… It’s just things like telling me to lower the camera now…

“Is this the first or second time I’ve done this?”

– That’s true, but… your eyes look more sly than usual. Don’t just brush it off as a joke, talk seriously.

Was this the right timing? I removed the pillow tucked under my chest and turned my body to the side, positioning the phone so it looked up from below, ensuring that about a third of the laptop screen, right behind my shoulder, was visible in the corner of the screen Miyuki was seeing.

“It’s always like that.”

– Really…? Hmm…

Miyuki’s eyes, which had been listening intently to my answer while lost in thought, could be seen shifting towards one corner. And shortly after,

– …Huh?

a low exclamation escaped from her lips, as if she had realized my setup. Watching her narrow her eyes as if trying to look closely at something, I asked.

“What’s the matter?”

– Ah… Um… Just a moment…

I could see Miyuki’s shoulders rising. This told me that she had raised both hands. It seemed like she was trying to capture the screen. Silently waiting for Miyuki, I—

– Matsuda-kun. What were you just doing?

heard Miyuki’s slightly subdued voice and intuited that she must have zoomed in on the captured screen, realizing exactly what I was doing.

“Talking to you.”

– No… What were you doing before that?

What should I do now? Would it be better to continue feigning ignorance? Or would it be better to be shameless but honest?

Between the two options, the conclusion I reached was a compromise. Act as if this conversation itself is awkward. Like it’s obvious to anyone what I’ve done… And if Miyuki mentions it, admit it readily.

Changing my position so the laptop wasn’t visible on screen, I answered.

“I was watching something.”

– What were you watching?

“Just some video…”

– Matsuda-kun. You were watching porn, weren’t you?

I figured it was okay to admit it now. My brow twitched, and I turned only my head, appearing as if I were casually checking the open laptop once. Then, I swept an arm out to close the laptop lid before looking back at the screen.

“Did you see?”

– Yeah… I saw.

“Oh boy, that’s embarrassing…”

– No… It’s okay to watch… But… Matsuda-kun, do you like that kind of thing?

“What do you mean?”

– The ones with two women…

“Shut up.”

Miyuki let out a small chuckle, perhaps finding it funny how I subtly avoided eye contact and spoke only in curt replies.

– It’s okay, so tell me properly. Or should we talk face-to-face tomorrow instead of over the phone?

Wouldn’t talking face-to-face be even more embarrassing? Not for me, but for you.

“Don’t act like a teacher just because I got caught watching porn once.”

– What’s wrong with that? Are you perhaps embarrassed because I’m talking about this?

“Embarrassed? What are you talking about… It’s awkward because I got caught.”

– You talk about lewd things often too, Matsuda-kun. So hurry up and tell me. Is that your preference? You like it, right?

Just ‘like’ it… Talking like that seemed equivalent to asking, ‘You don’t actually intend to do something like that yourself, right?’

Judging by how things were going, persuasion seemed a bit difficult… which was only natural. Should I try a different approach?

No, it hadn’t been long since Miyuki caught me with the porn. It was right to wait and see more. Besides, I hadn’t expected it to be resolved easily anyway.

The fact that she wasn’t getting angry or disapproving outright, but calmly asking about her boyfriend’s preferences, was already a good sign. So, let’s think positively.

“Stop talking nonsense and let’s sleep. I’m tired.”

– You look incredibly energetic though? And what’s nonsensical about it? Talking about things like this makes the relationship stronger. Isn’t that right?

“Be quiet before I go over to your house right now and pounce on you.”

– You can come.

Miyuki provoked me with a playful tone. It’s been a while since she’s shown such a mischievous side. Smirking, I placed the phone horizontally and pulled the blanket up to my chin.

“I’m going to sleep.”

– That’s fine, but don’t hang up. Keep it on while you sleep.

“Are you planning to watch me or something?”

– Why are you so suspicious? I just want to see your face.

“Okay.”

◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

“Matsuda-kun. You weren’t watching that while showering, were you?”

To think that the first thing she said after getting in the car would be about porn. She was starting early today. Though for me, the more Miyuki mentioned it, the better.

“What do you mean, watching that while showering? You want water to splash all over the laptop?”

“I feel like Matsuda-kun would have found a way somehow. What did you watch this time? Same thing as yesterday?”

“I didn’t watch anything. Buckle your seatbelt.”

“Okay.”

And so, we went to the academy and got out of the car together in the parking lot. Miyuki said she had to go to the student council room regarding the school trip, so I took her bag and intended to cross the field towards the classroom.

Then, I stopped walking when I spotted the back of a familiar-colored head on a bench at the edge of the field. A long, navy blue ponytail.

The only person with that hairstyle was Renka. What was she doing out there alone in this cold weather?

Smiling slyly, I muffled my footsteps, approached stealthily, and peeked my head out from her diagonal side.

“…”

She was looking at something on her phone. It was a manga. A scene caught my eye where the female protagonist, bound in tortoise-shell bondage, was being whipped by the male protagonist while dripping fluid from below.

‘That’s…’

It was the one I had recommended when exchanging messages with Renka anonymously. It’s called ‘Master’s Secret.’

She was reading it right now, completely unaware of who was beside her, displaying immense concentration. Was it that immersive? I can’t help but feel that she was completely immersed in it.

Feeling mischievous, I approached right behind Renka and stood still. Then, noticing the shadow falling over her field of vision, she turned her head.

“Hello?”

Taking advantage of the opening, I raised a hand in greeting, and—

“Waaaah!?”

Renka was so shocked that she trembled all over. Hastily getting up from her seat, she asked,

“W-W-W-W-What!? W-What are you d-doing here…?!”

“I saw a familiar back and came to say hello. What were you looking at?”

“Ah, i-it’s n-none of your b-business…!”

Seeing Renka’s reaction, I somehow feel like Miyuki’s and my situations overlap. The difference, however, was that she hadn’t been caught intentionally. She genuinely wanted to hide it.

“Were you looking at something lewd?”

“Lewd? What are you talking about…! Do you think I’m you? Why are you carrying two bags…?”

“One is Miyuki’s. Where’s Master?”

“At the snack shop…”

“Ah… So you were waiting here for Master, Captain?”

“Something like that… Hurry up and go on your way…”

“See you during club activities.”

“Right… Get lost.”

“I might see you at lunch too.”

“I definitely won’t see you, so disappear quickly.”

Renka waved her hand dismissively, like shooing away a stray dog.

By any chance, did she even know her phone screen was still on? It was even zoomed in… She must have been so flustered she didn’t even think to turn off the screen and ended up doing that unintentionally while fiddling with it. The female protagonist’s nipple was visible.

“Can I come find you in the classroom during break time?”

“No.”

“Why?”

“Why? Because no means no. Just go already..!”

Dragging out the time by having a pointless conversation with Renka, I nodded once her phone screen turned off.

“Got it. Keep up the good work.”

I showed you special consideration. So listen to me well from now on… Before I force you to.
