“Haaa…”
“Good work today.♪”
At first, it had been purely for sex. His stress was building up, and he had nowhere to release it. There were no PCs, no games, nothing he was used to. He just wanted to lean on someone, to release the pent-up frustration.
“You were especially rough today. Did something happen?”
“…Noona…”
That’s how it had been in the beginning. Just to relieve stress.
“Life sucks.”
“Really? You must have had a hard time…”
She stroked his hair and hugged him tightly. He buried his face in her breasts and inhaled her scent. His tension melted away.
“It’s really… really shitty. It’s fucking awful.”
He had nothing, yet he was expected to do everything. It was impossible, unrealistic. He couldn’t help but say those words. It was too much. It was difficult. He wanted to run away. He didn’t want to do this anymore. Perhaps he had reached his limit the moment he’d arrived in this world. He wanted to lean on someone, something. He hugged Ur-noona tightly.
“Chrono, you know, whenever you play the harp, I can see your heart.”
“…Huh?”
“You tell me when you are having a hard time, when you’re sad, when you’re tired.”
“……..”
He wasn’t sure, but if she said so, then it must be true. He listened to her voice.
“But your music has changed recently.”
“…That can’t be?”
The keyboard always sounded the same. Ur-noona shook her head.
“At first, you were playing for yourself, as a reward. But now…”
“You sound like a child.”
A child who wanted praise, a child who wanted to be hugged.
“Music played for others is more beautiful than music played for yourself.”
“…Don’t say that… It’s embarrassing.”
“It means you’ve become attached to me.”
That made her so happy.
“It makes me want to love you even more.”
“….Noona?”
She caressed his cheek and traced his lips with her fingertip.
“Shall we kiss?”
“…We’ve done enough of that.”
“A kiss driven by lust and a kiss filled with love are different.”
“Is that so…?”
He wasn’t sure, but if she said so, then it must be true. He moved his face closer to hers.
—Chu…
“…….?”
They kissed. It was just a kiss. No tongues. No biting. Just their lips touching.
“……….”
Was this enough? He was starting to get impatient. He slightly opened his mouth and bit her lip.
“Hmm…!”
“…..?”
She resisted slightly when he tried to push his tongue in. It was unusual. As he was pulling away, she kissed him again. ‘What do you want’? He couldn’t understand. She caressed his hair and pulled away.
“Stay still. Just feel it. You’ll understand soon enough.”
“…Huh?”
“By the way, Chrono, did you have a girlfriend? Someone you loved?”
“………”
“Ahahaha… That explains it.”
This was a kiss filled with love.
“It’s hard to understand if you don’t know love.”
“…Are you making fun of me for being single?”
“No. You’re cute. I like it.”
“Calling a man cute is— ugh…”
Their lips met again. This time, he didn’t move. He just accepted her kiss.
*Smooch, smack!*
‘…What’s different…?’
Their lips touched. He sucked, she released, he licked. It felt like a normal kiss. Just incredibly slow.
*Smooch…*
‘…………..’
He sucked on her lip, gently. Her tongue slipped inside his mouth.
*Slurp, smack, hmm…*
‘…Ugh…’
It was slow and playful. When they were filled with lust, it was intense. But now, it was like two kittens playing.
She’d pull away slightly, then come back. Rubbing her head against his chin.
Cute, sweet, he wanted to hug her, to hold her. He felt warm and comfortable. He wanted to stay like this forever.
“Haa… so, how was it? Do you understand now?”
“…Noona.”
Her eyes were unfocused. Her cheeks were flushed. Her hair was damp with sweat. Her lips were slightly swollen.
“It’s… different.”
He thought she was beautiful. But he had never thought she was cute. And… this was the first time he felt like hugging her, not to have sex, but to comfort her.
“…Can I touch your hair?”
“Of course, anything for Chrono.”
“Then…”
He reached out, but he wasn’t sure where to touch. She leaned into him.
“Like this?”
“…Excuse me.”
He touched her hair. It felt rough and dry. Like it hadn’t been washed in three days. Movies always made it look so smooth.
“When was the last time you washed your hair, noona?”
“…Chrono, did you know?”
Women didn’t like washing their hair.
‘I did not want to know that…’
“When I’m in a hurry, I just wash the front. I can just curl the back, and no one notices!”
“That’s way too realistic…!”
“So you don’t like it?”
“…No.”
He liked it, actually.
“I… kinda like it…”
He liked the scent. The musky scent of her scalp. He kept playing with her hair.
“How do you feel? Better?”
“Uh… yes.”
He was calm. Not high like he was on drugs, or sluggish like he was drunk, but calm. He wanted to stay like this, holding her, whispering to her. He was starting to feel sleepy. ‘I’m not tired…’ He just wanted to stay in her arms. He was comfortable, and he wanted to lean on her. He was drawn to her. Ur-noona hugged him and whispered,
“Do you understand now, Chrono?”
“This is ‘love’.”
“…Love…”
It wasn’t overwhelmingly sweet or exciting, but he felt content. Like a warm fireplace, not a raging fire.
“You understand how I feel now, right?”
“…Noona,”
If these feelings were real, then there was something that he’d wanted to tell her.
“I love you.”
“…Heehee…♪”
She looked a bit surprised, but she smiled.
“I love you too, Chrono.”
“…So, this all happened before I proposed…?”
“Yes… I think so?”
Mars listened to the story and hung her head.
“Ha… damn it… she’s the main wife for a reason, it’s tough to beat her.”
“Hey, don’t say that! We all love Chrono, right?”
“W-Well, that’s true, but…”
She looked dissatisfied. Wait, she had told Juno to do whatever she wanted, so why was she so upset with Ur-noona?
“It’s fine to relieve your sexual desires, but don’t let her steal your heart.”
“Chrono’s heart is Chrono’s, though?”
“…Then my heart is mine, too, isn’t it?”
“You gave it willingly, though?”
“Th-That’s true, but…!”
“…Hmm?”
Wait, Mars. Why were you using honorifics with Ur-noona? She usually didn’t use honorifics, not even with her teachers. It felt strange.
“…So, are you giving me attitude because I’m the main wife? What the hell is wrong with you?!”
“No. You’re cute.”
“!!,…Damn it…”
Did she think everything could be forgiven when he said she was cute?
“…Cute.”
“Huh?”
“You’re so cute!!!”
“Ugh?!”
Mars turned her head away, and Ur-noona suddenly lost control. She hugged Mars tightly and started groping her.
“Ugh… d-don’t touch me, you bitch! …Please!”
“Haa…!”
So cute! Ur-noona started petting Mars’s hair.
“Ugh… this feels weird…!”
Mars was being molested. She should’ve gotten up and left, but she was staying still. ‘What is this? Is it that?’
“Is this how a mistress shows respect to the main wife?”
He joked.
“…If I go back… You guys will do it again.”
“…………..”
…That was…
“…Serves you right, doesn’t it?”
“Yes, it does.”
“…What?!”
She hadn’t realized it.
“You were asking to be loved! Of course, I have to give you what you want!”
“W-Wait! At least set the mood—Hieee! Where are you touching, Ur-unni?!”
“Kyaaa! She called me unni! She called me unni!”
“Ugh, heeh?! Hee, heee?!”
…He stayed at Ur-noona’s house for another day. They were all exhausted, sprawled out on the bed. Late at night—
“…She’s not coming, huh?”
The Apostle of Youth, Instructor Ebi of the Physical Training Club.
“Then, I’ll have to visit her myself.”
Ebi, here I come.
Tomorrow, that is.
