Chapter 606: Let me take care of you, senpai

Why and how did I reach the answer that it’s her father?

It’s truly just a guess but from what I heard from Haruko, Serizawa-senpai is currently living alone in a condominium unit arranged for her by her mother that was in her home country.

That’s right. Her mother was the one with foreign blood who married her father who’s from this country.

For now, that’s the only information I know as Haruko wanted me to know more about it myself.

And that’s why I made a wild guess of pointing at her father. She’s alone and the place she’s living in was arranged by her mother. Perhaps, even her living expenses.

However, with her mention of a stepfather, something definitely happened between her parents. Divorced or... her father died.

“Senpai...” I called out to her, in the hopes that she could use my voice to calm herself down again because just brushing her hair or rubbing her back was proven not enough.

Perhaps it’s been 15 minutes since we entered this room and perhaps Mina was already gritting her teeth on the other side of this room, waiting. But now that this happened, I couldn’t just leave her behind.

Because of my mentioning the source of Serizawa-senpai’s source of fear and her confirmation of it, she’s now in a state of utter fear. It’s like last Sunday when Haruko pushed her towards me and she realized that she’s holding onto me.

After shivering for a while, she lost consciousness and even if it returned, the girl could still feel the cold, making her body tremble despite the warmth I was transferring to her.

Naturally, the reason for that was my question to her. Most likely, just the mention of it brought back memories that led to her trauma.

Right. It’s surely trauma that resulted in her getting a phobia of the opposite gender with the few exceptions such as kids. I wasn’t included since, despite our closeness, she still could feel the fear crawling in her body.

In any case, I waited until Serizawa-senpai looked up to me before I made a somewhat drastic move.

“I apologize again, senpai.”

As soon as I said that, I slid her body upwards as I pushed her head down, pressing her lips on mine.

Call it taking advantage of the situation but... she’s not recovering from her fear after all. Kissing her like this instantly produced a result.

With her beautiful eyes widening from shock, her hands that were clutching my shirt pushed down on my chest to lift her body up.

Unfortunately for her, she couldn’t overpower my strength.

In any case, it’s not like I would force her to continue. A few seconds later, I loosened the strength I put on my arm preventing her head from moving, breaking our kiss off.

“Y-you... W-what did you...?” As she stuttered once more, Serizawa-senpai hurriedly wiped her lips using the sleeve of her uniform.

“It’s to wake up, senpai. It seems like I succeeded.” I smiled at her as I raised my hand to the side of my head, mimicking those who were surrendering.

“P-pervert, Onoda-kun.”

“Yes, I know. But I’m glad your shivering stopped. I’m sorry for mentioning it. Also before you can think about that again...” As I trailed my voice, I slightly lifted my body, sitting up on the bed.

And before Serizawa-senpai could react from my movements, my lips once more covered hers and this time, with her consciousness awoke, I clearly observed every reaction she made.

At first, she was surprised once more as she grabbed my collar, perhaps intending to push me away. However, a few moments after that, her grip strength disappeared as she gradually closed her eyes.

Serizawa-senpai accepted my kiss.

When I first made a closer observation of her facial features, I clearly pointed out her pale lips that needed a good suck to get a rosy color.

This time, I boldly did it while my arms moved from her back to her cheeks, slightly squeezing her face as I deepened my kiss.

Have I gone crazy? Perhaps, I am.

And with me doing this to her... it’s no different to my own acknowledgement that I... am going to make her mine.

It’s what I decided by myself. Although I couldn’t say I definitely love her the same as my girls, that’s kinda irrelevant for now when I was currently this attracted to her, regardless of the past trauma that’s still haunting her to this day.

“Senpai, let me help you wipe away your fear. This time, wholeheartedly. Not just a favor for Haruko but because of my own wish to help you.” I said after I let go of her now-pale red lips.

That short amount of time wasn’t enough to completely turn it rosy red. Moreover, it would surely swell if I did more so I stopped at that.

“I... Y-you didn’t give me a chance to...”

“I got caught by the heat of the moment?” I could say I’m sorry but she probably wouldn’t like it.

Her words might sound like she’s finding it unbelievable that I kissed her without permission. However, with Serizawa-senpai fully accepting it, evident of how her arms were now enclosed on my back again, she’s not reprimanding me but only asking for the sake of it.

“B-bad... O-onoda-kun is bad. I... I s-should’ve listened to Haru.”

“What did she say?”

“T-that I should keep my head away from yours. Otherwise, it’ll be easier for you when you decide to kiss me.”

But you didn’t have that much of a choice. You’re out of focus and... she’s too light that I slid her up easily.

Alright, that’s my bad.

“I see. If senpai doesn’t like it... I’ll accept any kind of punishment.”

It’s too late for that. Furthermore, with the result where she fully accepted it, she did like it.

“N-no one said I don’t like it... My body shaking in fear, you stopped it.”

“That’s the purpose of the first one but the last one was...”

Before I could finish that, Serizawa-senpai pushed a finger to my lips, preventing me from continuing. She then shook her head and curved her lips into a mesmerizing smile.

“... I understand it. Onoda-kun resolved himself to take me in... Like Hime-chan and Mina. And I...”

“Let me take care of you, senpai.” I cut her off as well as I grabbed that finger, removing the restriction for me to kiss her once more.

Like the second one, Serizawa-senpai accepted it and this time, she also made her move, returning my kiss. In this way, our overlapping lips became fueled with the thought of returning the favor.

And eventually, our tongues came into the mix, entwining together as our saliva mixed in.

Serizawa-senpai somehow forgot her fear of me as the subtle shaking of her body finally stopped completely.

Once we’re finished, the silver-haired senpai lowered her head, not daring to meet my gaze.

“Y-yes. Take care of me, Onoda-kun. I’m not perfect. I still fear you but I like it. I like being this close to you. That’s why...” Serizawa-senpai trailed her voice as she slowly pushed me back down the bed. And following me, she laid her head on the side, with her lips near my ears, “...I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you the things about me that I only told Haru.”
