“It’s cold.”

Chinami’s words, approaching me as I was cleaning outside the club room. Sweeping the floor by moving the long pole left and right, I turned my head.

“Yes, it’s cold.”

“It’s very cold.”

Her tone was unusually steady; she seemed slightly angry. I stopped sweeping and looked straight down at Chinami.

“What’s wrong?”

“Hmm. I’m a little upset.”

“What’s going on?”

“I’m wondering if we couldn’t have rescheduled the canceled appointment from last week. Of course, I was the one who suggested postponing it first, but I don’t feel comfortable that you seem intent on just letting it pass without saying anything.”

She was talking about the massage. She must have been anxious because we hadn’t discussed it since then.

But, dear Chinami… is your body becoming unable to live without receiving a massage?

“Master. That’s…”

“Will a disciple who doesn’t understand the master’s heart be able to fulfill their role as a disciple? I have grave doubts. That being said, I have absolutely no intention of cutting our master-disciple relationship, Matsuda-kouhai, but it’s just how it is.”

She ended her monologue with a long sigh. Letting out a quiet laugh at Chinami’s cute criticism, I said,

“Looks like you really wanted that massage, huh?”

“Hmph…”

“You should have said so. Shall I give you a quick one now?”

“Not that kind of massage, I was talking about that relaxing massage using oil.”

Last time she called it the ‘thump-thump’ massage.

“I see. Would you like to come this way?”

I led Chinami towards the uniform drying room. A clothesline hung with baggy, navy blue kendo uniforms.

Leading Chinami between them, I neatly arranged her hair, which was sticking up, perhaps due to static electricity. Then, I spoke to Chinami in a gentle tone.

“Of course, I hadn’t forgotten about the massage. I was just wondering when would be a good time.”

“…Is that so?”

“Yes, of course.”

“I didn’t mention it out of impatience.”

“I know.”

Just wait a little longer. I’ll get Miyuki’s approval somehow.

By the way, the love hotel owner must be grinning from ear to ear, right? After all, a certain sucker has booked two rooms, the massage concept and the prison concept, and hasn’t even shown up.

Moving behind Chinami, I placed my hands on her shoulders with a bright smile. Then, I began massaging her, applying slight pressure with my fingers.

“What are you doing…! I don’t want a massage right now..!”

Chinami, turning her head sharply back and forth while pretending to dislike it…

“Mmm…”

…let out a pleasant nasal sound as I began to loosen her knotted muscles several times.

Completely relaxing and entrusting her entire body to my touch was a bonus.

After moderately kneading Chinami’s shoulders, I gently lowered my hands and patted her bottom. At that, Chinami, who had become completely languid, asked in a questioning tone.

“Nn-gah… Why do you keep touching there…?”

“It’s a habit.”

“A very bad habit.. I’m forgiving you because it’s me; if it were someone else, you would be in big trouble…”

Miyuki, you, Renka, and Hiyori… I’ll only do this only to the four of you.

But it seems she doesn’t feel resistant to the act of touching itself? I should do it more often, then.

“Understood. I’ll stop with the shoulders here.”

“Nnng..? Are you done already…?”

Chinami expressed her disappointment. Placing my hand on her lower back and stroking it in circles, I said.

“It’s about time for the villain to arrive.”

“Villain…?”

Just as Chinami’s head tilted slightly in confusion…

*clack*

The drying room door opened.

“Chinami, you’re here, right?”

Hearing Renka’s meddlesome voice, I looked down at Chinami and grinned.

“See?”

At that, Chinami’s eyes widened to twice their size, and she let out a small gasp.

“…How did you know…?”

“It seemed to me that she would come.”

“Are you a fortune teller…?”

“Maybe I am.”

“Goodness…”

She seemed to genuinely believe in divination. This was why I liked Chinami.

I merely predicted Renka to show up around this time since she gets extremely anxious when Chinami and I are out of her sight, thinking I’m doing weird things to her.

“Chinami…! Can you help me?”

Through the uniforms hanging on the clothesline, we see Renka approaching us anxiously, having discovered our lower bodies clinging tightly to each other.

Patting Chinami’s lower back one last time, I brushed aside the uniform covering my face and greeted her.

“Hello, captain.”

“Ugh..!”

Renka grimaced as if she’d seen something unpleasant. Perhaps because my wishes were all used up, she seemed relaxed lately and wasn’t trying to control her facial expressions, but it looked like I’d be scolded for real if I kept this up.

◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

“Your complexion hasn’t been good since this morning… What on earth happened?”

In front of the parking lot. Tetsuya’s concern upon seeing Miyuki, who had returned from the student council meeting. Miyuki, with dark circles under her eyes, managed a weak smile.

“It’s just… I had something tiring happen briefly this morning…”

“Something tiring? What exactly?”

“Just something.”

It was a tone of speech that contained coldness amidst affection. It contained the meaning, ‘Don’t pry any further.’ But our clueless Tetsuya failed to notice Miyuki’s inner thoughts at all.

“What… Feels like you’ve become more secretive lately? Between us?”

A childish complaint. He was no different from a brat. Shouldn’t a 15-year childhood friend know Miyuki’s subtle changes in expression?

But that guy was so busy tending to his own emotions that he didn’t pay attention to such things.

And it is precisely because of that that Miyuki is starting to distance herself too.

I was planning to give you a special ride for the first time in a while, but I’ve changed my mind.

Miyuki and I are going through an important phase right now. There’s no room for a bastard like you to interfere, so just get on, shut up, and get off the moment I stop at your place, you piece of shit.

“This is something extremely personal. Sorry.”

Miyuki comforted Tetsuya. Even though she must have been in a sensitive state, she was incredibly gentle. If the person Tetsuya had asked that question to wasn’t Miyuki but someone else, the atmosphere might have turned a bit sour by now.

Before Miyuki felt more troubled, I stepped between the two.

“Let’s go. It’s cold.”

“Ah, right…”

And so, after quickly dropping off the dead weight, on the way back to Miyuki’s house. She affectionately tapped my arm as I was driving slowly and asked.

“What’s gotten into you? Offering Tetsuya-kun a ride yourself, Matsuda-kun?”

What do you mean? I’m trying to gain more favor by doing something you’d like. If I keep doing this, maybe you’ll suggest doing something I’d like too?

Of course, I know the chances are slim just by giving Tetsuya a ride, but in my current situation, I have to try everything.

“I asked what he was doing, and he just said he was going home. The weather today is even colder than yesterday, so I offered him a ride.”

“That’s incredibly commendable…?”

“You look surprised? I told you I’m not originally that bad of a guy.”

“You’re phrasing it wrong. You were originally a bad person, but you’re gradually becoming kinder.”

“You’re joking, right? Or are you actually serious?

“Let’s say half and half.”

Miyuki, who had been speaking with a playful tone, stared intently at me once the car arrived at her house.

“Matsuda-kun.”

“Yeah..?”

“Shall I sleep over at your place today too?”

“Your mother said no. Then it’s a no.”

“This morning you told me to stay over?”

“Your mother knows you sleep at my place now. She knows perfectly well what happens when a boy and girl are alone in a man’s house, so she probably said that telling you not to overdo it… Can’t be helped. Honestly, it’s a lie to say I’m not disappointed, but I don’t want to insist on it so much that it’ll get your parents to dislike me.”

“Why are you so thoughtful today? Makes me want to praise you…”

Can’t you give the praise in the form of a threesome?

“Come on, hurry inside.”

“No. Want to talk more. I have nothing to do alone at home anyway.”

“Then do as you please.”

“Are you going to watch that again when you get back?”

“Nope.”

“Really? Didn’t you buy the laptop to watch lewd stuff?”

“Do you think I’m obsessed with porn or something?”

At those words, Miyuki let out a small, awkward laugh, then suddenly changed her expression to a serious one.

“Something came up that I want to ask.”

“You’ve gotten really curious about so many things since yesterday… What is it?”

Letting out a short gasp, Miyuki licked her lips. Is it time to get serious?

I accept your challenge. Go ahead, try me.

After being silent for a moment, lost in thought, she carefully began.

“If an opportunity arose for you to do it with me and another woman, Matsuda-kun, then who would that other woman be? Who would you recruit?”

It was a similar topic to what she asked yesterday, but the intensity of the question was deeper.

Is your mindset gradually starting to open up? Can I think that?

“Why are you suddenly asking such a question?”

“It’s not like we’re actually going to do it, so what’s the harm? It’s not wrong for a girlfriend to try and understand her boyfriend’s preferences in detail. Hurry up and tell me. As seriously as possible.”

So typical of Miyuki, with her high desire for learning.

This time too, I had to give her a proper answer. How could I phrase it to gauge Miyuki’s feelings?

Letting out a long breath through my nose and thinking deeply, I scratched the back of my neck gently and lifted my head.

“I think it’s better to bring someone you know.”

“Does it matter if you don’t know her, Matsuda-kun? Is any woman okay?”

Somehow, it felt like her words had thorns, sending shivers down my spine. Could it be that Miyuki knew my entire scheme? Was she playing games with me? Is that it?

“That’s not it; if I brought someone I knew but you didn’t, it would obviously be incredibly awkward. Besides, assuming such a situation arises, you would probably feel a bit uneasy, but if it was someone you knew, you’d at least feel a bit more at ease… That’s why I answered that.”

“Really…? So you gave that answer for my sake, is that it?”

“Since you’re the one making that situation happen, I have to fully consider and be considerate of your position.”

“Is it bad to bring someone both Matsuda-kun and I know?”

How could it possibly be bad? That’s exactly what I’m aiming for… I love the idea. I never even considered doing it with someone either of us didn’t know.

I love you, Miyuki. I’ll lick your toes like a dog if you tell me to.

“Of course, that would be the best.”

“Is there anyone among the people we both know whose preference leans that way?”

I’ll take care of that. You don’t need to worry.

“I haven’t thought that far ahead. Are we done now?”

“For now, yes.”

The ‘for now’ bothers me. Was the answer I gave the best possible one? Or did I mess up?

It would be nice if she told me… but Miyuki didn’t seem inclined to.

“Isn’t there something you’ll do for me before I go?”

Miyuki narrowed her eyes slightly and puckered her lips. Seeing her ask for a kiss, it seemed she wasn’t offended.

Somewhat relieved, I leaned my upper body forward and gave her the expression of affection she wanted. Miyuki then smiled satisfyingly, got out of the car, closed the door, and waved.

Waving back, I leaned against the seatback, and once she opened the front door and went inside, I released the side brake.

Feels like my emotions are surging up day by day.
