Chapter 63: An Intense First Kiss

If I refused Airi's wish here, it would basically mean Nodoka is okay, but Airi isn't.

…In Nodoka's case, it was more like I was caught off guard.

But that kind of excuse wouldn't work with Airi.

(If I handle this poorly, their relationship could reach a point of no return.)

The only reason the three of us can maintain this strange yet peaceful dynamic is probably because I've been treating them fairly, at least to some extent.

But the moment that balance breaks, Airi will surely stop at nothing to get ahead of Nodoka.

Just like back then—when she didn't even hesitate to risk herself for her family.

(If that happens, Nodoka would be deeply hurt…)

Nodoka is already extremely bad at social interactions.

If someone she finally got close to suddenly turned hostile, it would shock her terribly.

Just like that time—after her huge fight with Yuzuki—when she wandered off in a daze and almost got hit by a car.

(…Did Airi think all the way to that point before making this move?)

Honestly, it's not like I don't want that kind of relationship with Airi.

She's beautiful, devoted—there's no way I could dislike her.

If anything, both Nodoka and Airi feel like they're too good for me.

It's just that something inside me is holding me back.

(It really feels like everything is going exactly according to Airi's plan…)

But if the three of us can keep living peacefully like this, then my small sense of guilt is a cheap price to pay.

In the end, I'm the one who benefits the most anyway.

I nodded at Airi and answered.

“Alright. But you go first. Just like Nodoka did.”

“…Okay. Then Ren-kun, give me an order. Treat me like a sl@ve.”

So she still wants to be a “sl@ve heroine,” huh.

At this point, it even feels like everything is part of some plan to turn herself into one.

And even knowing that, I can't help but go along with it.

That thought made me feel a bit pathetic.

“Airi, kiss me.”

“Yes… my master.”

She narrowed her eyes and leaned in.

Her well-defined features filled my vision.

Then, our lips met softly.

A small, quiet sound escaped.

“I finally… finally got it. Master, just one more time.”

“Huh? W-wait—”

Nodoka only got one, though?

Before I could even say that, my lips were sealed again.

This time, she wrapped both arms around my back, clinging tightly to me with her whole body.

“…!?”

Right after, I felt something warm slip into my mouth.

My eyes widened.

That was—

(She's using her tongue…!?)

On top of that, she leaned forward, pressing her soft chest firmly against mine.

It was a clear sign—she intended to go beyond just a kiss.

…And she was still casually calling me “master.”

(But it really does seem like this is her first time.)

She was desperate, but her movements were clumsy.

You could tell she had no experience.

People say you can tell right away if someone's inexperienced—and it seemed true.

But honestly, that clumsiness only made it more stimulating.

Airi is older than me, and she usually comes off as very mature.

Yet here she was, completely inexperienced and awkward.

(Since it's come to this… maybe I should take the lead.)

If I let her stay in control, we might actually go all the way.

But more than that, I wanted to show her what a kiss really was.

…In other words, it was just my own twisted desire.

“Mm…!?”

I pulled back slightly, changed the angle, and leaned in from my side.

Airi trembled for a moment, surprised, but quickly accepted it and responded, still clumsy.

When I opened my eyes slightly, her expression—once tense—had melted into something sweet and dazed.

Seeing a side of her I'd never seen before made me smile.

“Mm…!”

I grabbed her ch*st firmly.

Because of the micro bikini, the sensation was far more direct than before.

My hands, my tongue—everything moved purely on instinct.

Even though this was all her first time, I was being far rougher than I should have been.

(Now that I think about it, I never treated Yuzuki like this.)

Because she was important to me, I was always gentle.

Of course, Airi is important too.

But Airi… felt like she would accept even the rough, darker parts of me.

More than anything, it seemed like she wanted it.

I pulled back slightly and whispered.

“Come on, stick your tongue out more.”

“Yes… my master…”

With barely any distance between us, only our tongues intertwined.

At the same time, I slipped my fingers into the gap of her micro bikini top.

“Ah…!”

Just from the kiss alone, I could tell how aroused Airi had become.

As her voice grew more and more heated, I felt my own suppressed desires about to erupt.

I broke the contact of our tongues and grabbed her chin firmly with the hand that had been on her ch*st, forcing her mouth open a bit wider.

“Come on, swallow properly.”

“O-okay…”

I straightened my posture so that my face was clearly above hers.

Then I let the saliva that had gathered in my mouth fall into hers.

Airi didn't resist at all—she accepted everything.

And then—

Gulp.

The sound of her swallowing sent a shiver down my spine.

---

“That was really good, Ren-kun.”

…Somehow, I managed to hold onto the last thread of my self-control.

I almost lost it—no, I probably already had.

“Sorry… I got a bit rough.”

“What are you talking about? It was really good. I think I actually prefer it rough rather than gentle.”

“But why did you go as far as using your tongue? With Nodoka, it was just a normal kiss.”

“Really? I didn't know.”

Yeah, right.

She's definitely pretending.

That was 100% intentional.

“But you really are amazing in a different way, Ren-kun. Even after going that far, you still didn't go all the way.”

“Airi, moving too fast isn't always a good thing.”

“Is that so? Still… I'm kind of happy.”

Airi grinned and continued.

“That means you're thinking about going further with me, right?”

“Ugh…”

At this point, I had to admit it.

I was already seeing Airi as a woman.

To the point where I wanted her. Didn't want anyone else to have her.

When we got out of the bath, Nodoka—who had been waiting—walked up to us with a sulky expression.

“…That took way longer than it did with me yesterday.”

“That's because you ran away halfway through.”

“Ugh!”

“Also, actually, with Ren-kun—”

Airi leaned in and whispered something into Nodoka's ear.

…I could already guess what she was saying, so why even bother whispering?

Moments later, Nodoka's face turned bright red.

Not just that—her eyes looked slightly teary.

“R-Ren… why didn't you do that with me? W-Was my kiss really that bad…?”

“N-no, that's not it—”

“I can follow your orders too… I can even swallow… I want you to be rough with me too.”

“Alright, alright. I'll do it later, just like you want. So don't cry, okay?”

“…Promise?”

“Yeah.”

She looked like she was about to cry for real, so I panicked.

When Nodoka gets seriously jealous, she doesn't get angry—she cries.

I'd have to be more careful from now on.

Meanwhile, I glared at Airi.

“…You did that on purpose, didn't you?”

“Who knows?”

Before I knew it, I had even promised Nodoka a deeper kiss too.

Airi had clearly guided things in a way that suited her plan.

The more I learned about her, the more frightening she seemed.

Nodoka took a step closer and came near me.

Then she lowered her head slightly, as if offering it.

(Maybe I should try something.)

I immediately understood what she wanted.

But did Nodoka really want something rough like that?

Unlike Airi, she seemed like the type who wanted gentleness.

“Nodoka, if there's something you want, say it out loud.”

“H-huh? O-okay… um…”

Blushing all the way to her ears, she said in a small voice:

“P-please… pat my head…”

She was embarrassed, but she didn't hesitate.

…Maybe she's not so different from Airi after all—just a different type.

“Good girl.”

I gently patted her head like she asked.

She smiled.

“Hehe… Ren, when will you do it? T-the naughty kiss…”

“…Do we really have to set a date?”

“I don't want you to brush it off.”

Why is she being so direct at times like this?

“…Next week… no, sometime this week.”

“You promise? N-next time, you start it, okay…?”

“Got it.”

For some reason, Airi watched our exchange with a warm smile.

---

Maybe because so much had happened today, the moment I lay my head on the pillow, sleep rushed over me.

This long summer trip would finally end tomorrow.

At that moment, I let my guard down.

I never expected I'd have another “nightmare.”

And this time—it was about Kokoa.
