nChapter 73: Isn’t Your Boyfriend Still Outside!?

nTranslator: imperfectluck Editor: vb24

nInside the room, the two girls finally calmed down a little and were drinking coffee in silence.

n

"As I expected—I still… love this coffee’s flavor the most.

" Chiaki smiled gently at Haruka.

"The taste of coffee that you personally brewed for me.

"

n

"Is that so…

" Haruka averted her gaze as her cheeks flushed slightly red.

n‘Honestly, wasn’t this exactly just like before?’

nBut there was no helping it; even though she knew that she shouldn’t, these were her real feelings.

nAlthough she’d tried her utmost to restrain herself and to forget… she couldn’t.

nThat alluringly sweet, dazzling, mesmerizing time she spent together with Chiaki.

nIt had been like a dream she couldn’t wake up from.

nHaruka thought that she had gotten over Chiaki after breaking up with her for so long. For the first time, she discovered that she was still hung up on her.

nShe told herself she brought a male companion in order to prevent Chiaki from getting close to her again. But on closer inspection that was probably… her fear of facing her true inner self.

n‘How terrible am I...’

nLike her classmate outside, Haruka Shimizu also fell into a state of self-loathing.

nAt this moment, Chiaki took her hand.

nChiaki gently caressed her hand before bringing it to her soft lips and licking gently. As her cute red tongue darted out, she eyed Haruka with a seductive expression.

nHaruka’s face instantly turned bright red.

nThat gaze, these feelings… they’re so distressing… Her body trembled slightly, half in fear and half in anticipation.

nChiaki used well-practiced motions as she licked every inch of Haruka’s fingers, fingertips, back of her hand, and palm of her hand… Without missing a single spot, Chiaki licked her softly and gently, taking her time as if she was tasting an exquisitely fine meal.

nAs the blue-haired girl’s trembling became more and more obvious and her cheeks flamed crimson red, Chiaki gently pulled Haruka into her arms.

nHaruka suddenly regained her senses.

n

"N… No…

"

n‘We’ve already broken up, we can’t…’

nHowever, her resistance was so soft and helpless that it didn’t seem like she was resisting at all.

nTo Chiaki, Haruka seemed like she’d regained her feelings for Chiaki as her eyes were watery, her face flushed completely red, and her tiny mouth was slightly puckered open.

nChiaki brought her face close to Haruka’s, then leaned in and kissed her.

n

"Mmm… Ah…

"

nAfter their lips came into contact, they stuck together as they mashed lips.

nHaruka felt like all her energy had been drained; she could only allow Chiaki to tightly hold on to her body and let Chiaki do whatever she wanted.

n‘We can’t…’ She was shouting this in her heart, but her body had zero strength as she was enjoying this, unable to resist.

nTime became a blur to them.

nAfter losing track of time, Haruka finally felt herself being released.

nChiaki licked her lips in an alluring expression that seemed like she was saying

"thanks for the meal.

"

n

"Wahh… Honestly!

" Haruka summoned a sliver of energy and lightly hit Chiaki.

"We can’t be like this… Your… your boyfriend, isn’t he waiting outside for you!?

"

n

"Oh, do you care a lot about him?

" Chiaki chuckled.

n

"This… this isn’t about whether or not I care about him! You’re the one who should be caring!

" Afraid of having her true feelings found out, Haruka raised her voice in an attempt to cover them.

nChiaki wore a light smile as she gazed at Haruka’s face.

nAs long as she was able to open the door to Haruka’s heart, Haruka would become unexpectedly soft and express a rich variety of emotions. This was one of the traits which caused Chiaki to fall in love with her.

n

"Seigo… isn’t my boyfriend.

" She told her the truth.

"I actually haven’t known him for all that long, so we haven’t moved on to being boyfriend and girlfriend.

"

n

"Oh… That means, as long as time passes, you’ll become…

" Haruka furrowed her eyebrows slightly.

n

"I don’t know~

" Chiaki shrugged.

"If you ask me whether or not he’s suitable to become my boyfriend, I’ll say yes, and add a definitely in front of yes. Even though we’ve known each other for only a short time, he’s really an amazing as well as handsome guy. He’s basically like the main male idol lead in a television drama… No, even an idol actor wouldn’t move me as much as he does.

n

"If it wasn’t for your existence, I would definitely fall in love with him… Actually, I’ve already fallen for him a little, but one of my best friends fell in love with him first, and I don’t want to ruin our relationship. But human emotions are very difficult to control… So I don’t know what will happen in the future.

"

n

"Wah…

" Haruka puffed out her cheeks.

nChiaki really wanted to poke her cheeks like she would in the past, but she managed to restrain herself.

n

"That’s my story. How about you, Haruka?

"

nHaruka’s face stiffened slightly before she ended up sighing.

n

"Okay, I admit it as well, Tetsuo… is not my boyfriend; he’s actually my younger cousin.

"

n

"I knew it; you would never fall in love with his type.

" Chiaki smiled knowingly.

nHaruka’s expression flickered.

n

"Tetsuo… is a good guy. It’s just… maybe he’s a little too arrogant…

"

n

"‘A little?’ Hah, fine, I teased him plenty anyways, so I’ll let it go with that,

" Chiaki said casually.

n‘If that guy still keeps acting up, Seiji will definitely give him a good lesson.’ She was certain of this.

n‘Seiji Haruta can be quite fearsome if he truly gets angry, after all~’

nAt any rate, the two of them went outside quite a while ago, and who knows what they’d been up to. Chiaki suddenly wanted to see the arrogant Tetsuo Sasaki learning a well-deserved lesson from Seiji.

nThat’s right; she still bore a grudge towards him!

nEven if she knew now that he was only a fake boyfriend, she still felt unhappy inside and wanted to see him suffer!

nSeiji would surely comment about how illogical her grudge was, but this was just a part of her nature.

nActually, her taunts just earlier were already unreasonable, but Seiji resolutely stood by her side and helped her out in order to make her feel better.

nChiaki was inwardly delighted about this.

nJust as Seiji said, he wasn’t exactly a

"good person,

" nor did he believe in right and wrong. He simply helped those he wanted to help, protecting and taking care of his friends.

nThis made Chiaki extremely happy and instilled her with a feeling of safety.

nOf course, if she went overboard Seiji would surely stop her. This would be a method of protecting her as well, otherwise the situation would get out of control, and she’d be the party who’d bear the brunt of the consequence.

nAt any rate, Seiji Haruta was simply a trustworthy and reliable person.

n‘Honestly, you seem so cool; what will happen if I really fall in love with you?’ Chiaki mentally asked the person who was outside the door.

nSeiji sneezed.

n‘Why am I feeling a sudden chill?’ He rubbed his nose.

nHe didn’t know what was going on inside.

nBut Chiaki would surely be able to take care of things. He had confidence in her.

nHe was a bit bored just standing outside like a door guard, though.

nWith nothing to do, he glanced at the boy beside him, and just happened to notice Tetsuo looking towards him as well.

nThey looked at each other wordlessly for a few seconds before Tetsuo finally piped up.

n

"Seigo Harano… right?

"

nSeiji raised his eyebrow at the unexpected question.

n

"Yes, what is it?

"

n

"Just earlier… Perhaps I was a bit rude.

" An indescribable light flashed through Tetsuo’s eyes.

"However, you and me, we’re different.

"

n‘Sigh… Arrogant people like him are so difficult to deal with.’

n

"Yeah yeah, you’re an excellent student from Kaoki High School, you’re a genius, you’re an elite, you’ll definitely be successful in life, you’re at a completely different level from a commoner like me, you’re so great.

" Seiji praised Tetsuo in a sarcastic tone that made it obvious it wasn’t praise at all.

nTetsuo furrowed his eyebrows.

nHe’d already calmed down, so it was easy for him to tell that Seiji didn’t mean his praise, but… It was difficult for him to say anything back.

nIf he did anything rude, it would hurt Haruka.

nBut there were some things he still needed to say.

n

"It’s good that you understand,

" he said lightly.

"We… Compared with you guys, Haruka and I are vastly different, not only in the school we go to.

"
