Chapter 304: Uncontained Curiosity

After spending some time in the Literature Club Room, trying to calm Ishida-senpai's mood who became flustered from what I said and hearing the two girls' opinions about the plan for the Cultural Festival we drew up, I left on a good note.

Surprisingly, just when I was about to turn my heels towards the Student Council Room's direction, I was called out by someone else.

"Onoda-kun, wait!"

Turning to the direction of the voice, I saw the previously behaved Otsuka-senpai with renewed shining glint on her eyes. Her period is over, huh? Now, her overly curious nature came back.

"Hah… Thank you for stopping. Why are you leaving early again? I couldn't get the chance to talk to you." Amidst her gasps for breath, Otsuka-senpai stopped in front of me.

"You know why, senpai. By the way, how's Aya?"

"I don't know! My head was over the clouds last week!" She refuted. "Rindou-chan is… great! I like her! But she's too shy about everything also… she's always on about her precious Ruki. That girl… she's like a pet rabbit who wanted to run towards her owner all the time."

What kind of comparison is that? I know my Aya is adorable but that kind of analogy sounded off. And anyway… This senior is more energetic than usual. Is this an after-period side effect?

"My Aya is adorable, isn't she?"

"… Of course, she is. Wait, this is not why I stopped you!"

"Then what is it, senpai? I have somewhere to go to."

"Come with me!"

Grabbing my hand, Otsuka-senpai pulled me to the stairs leading up to the 4th floor. It's also my destination so I let myself be pulled by her.

Just like with Ishida-senpai back then, we entered an empty room a bit away from the Student Council.

When she pulled the door close, Otsuka-senpai immediately turned around and faced me, her shoulders were trembling. Not because she's scared or anything else but because she couldn't contain her curiosity anymore.

With the same brilliant eyes as if it will keep on sparkling if I leave her be, Otsuka-senpai pushed her face near me wherein I could actually see my image being reflected in those sparkling eyes of hers.

"Why don't you start asking your questions, Onoda-kun?"

Ah… Right. It was my turn to ask her questions, right? Because of how she seemed to be so eager that she even had to pull me by the arm towards this room, I almost forgot that her questions to me were already answered way before and I told her that I would ask my questions to her in person.

She probably can't wait to answer my questions so it will be her turn again.

Truthfully… I couldn't care less about questioning her anymore. From what went on between us, when she curiously watched Kana and I having sex in front of her to her questions about why Kana and I did that when she's known to be that Kenji's girlfriend at that time, almost a month has already passed.

"Actually, senpai. Asking you personal questions is now unnecessary. You kept our secret like I asked you. Now that it was already exposed to the club, I don't think I still need to get a hold of one of your secrets to prevent you from leaking my relationship with Kana."

Upon hearing my words and with it sinking in that curious head of hers, Otsuka-senpai suddenly became crestfallen.

It's like the power running through her body suddenly got cut off and that led her to freeze at the spot.

"I get your curiosity about me and my relationships… I can only continue asking you to keep it a secret. If you ask me a question, as long as it's within my capacity to answer then I will."

"No… This isn't supposed to be like this, Onoda-kun. Won't you ask me about my embarrassing secrets? Won't you use that to also make me your… Not that I wanted to be your… Ugh. But I'm super curious... What you showed me before… I want to see it again."

This girl… The words coming out of her mouth… Is she broken right now? Or is it really because of some side effects that also manifest after her period? Or perhaps, this is just the outburst of her accumulated and restrained curiosity during that time of the month. I don't know.

"Senpai… There's the internet, you can search for that. As long as you look enough, you'll find a whole lot of those videos online."

"No. No, Onoda-kun. What I can find there are actors acting. Compared to what you showed me… yours was filled with a lot more emotions that those actors wouldn't be able to emulate. I seriously couldn't forget about it. It's now the content of my dreams during most nights… Onoda-kun, what should I do?"

You ask me, I also want to ask you what I should do with you. Honestly… even if I'm the same guy as before, I would not entertain her and I would surely push her away while telling her to get a boyfriend so that she could ignite my desire. By then I would be truly interested in her and show her the things she wanted to see.

"Senpai. That's dangerous. Curiosity is one thing but you might put yourself in danger."

"Huh? What happened to that sly Onoda-kun who even took a photo of me in front of your… Uhm."

Huh? This girl was aware that I took that shot? I still have it but… I'm already thinking of deleting it.

"Alright. I admit, I'm a scumbag before and perhaps I am still a scumbag today. However, senpai… I have no idea what to do with you. This might sound harsh but, at this moment, I don't have any interest in doing anything with you. I'm grateful to you for taking care of Aya… However… this, no offense but you sounded like a thirsty girl who wanted someone to water your flower."

"That's harsh… Onoda-kun. Only you can help me. Do I need to ask someone else to show me?"

This girl… Did she awaken to become a voyeur? She wanted to watch a live show… Wait. If this is her curiosity then once it is satisfied, it will go away, right?

I have to tread this carefully. Perhaps, she's only filled with curiosity today. Tomorrow, she might regret everything she said today.

True I'm a pervert. And a big one at that but I still have a fine line I'm treading on. Although I'm used to taking advantage of someone else, it has to be someone I'm truly interested in. Even to those I stole, I was not forcing them into sexual things. I was slowly easing their mind up so that when we reached that point, they wouldn't be against it. What I wanted was stealing them completely from whoever loves them, not the act of taking their purity or dipping into their hole that I would be the only one allowed to it.

Now this girl in front of me… Her end game still eludes me. She couldn't finish those sentences after all.

For now, let's calm her down.

"Senpai. I will advise you to not go on that route. That's too dark and you will be engulfed with it before you know it... Alright come here and listen to me." I answered and grabbed her arm just like how she did it earlier.

After looking around the room, I led her to a chair and had her sit on it while I crouched down in front of her, turning this scene where I was looking up at her.

With her eyes intently staring at me, I began my questions to calm her down.

"Tell me, what is it do you really want, senpai?"

"... I want to watch."

"What do you want to watch?"

"… You having sex."

"I see. What else?"

"… I want to fill this curiosity of mine about you."

"About me? Why me?"

"You're different. You're filled with mystery. The club's a lot different now ever since you appeared."

"Alright. After unveiling the mystery about me, what will you do next?"

"Next? Uhh… I haven't thought that far enough…"

"Last question, senpai. Do you like me?"

Although her eyes widened slightly, reacting to the suddenness of that question, Otsuka-senpai eventually shook her head.

"… No. I never think in that direction. This is merely curiosity on my part, Onoda-kun. You know how I am. I am overflowing with curiosity. Maybe after satisfying this curiosity, what I'm currently feeling will fade."

"I understand. Well then, senpai. Thank you for answering. Have you finally calmed down?"

"Huh? Oh!"

As if only realizing now, her trembling shoulders already stopped and the way she was acting earlier had also faded away. She seemed to be possessed by something earlier but after my questions, although I didn't comment on any of them, what's filling her mind finally eased up.

It's somewhat illogical, I know. However, after tying everything she said and about everything I know about her… I guessed that she only needed to release what's occupying her mind.

"T-thank you, Onoda-kun."

"You don't need to. I will satisfy this curiosity of yours, senpai. However, can you promise me that you will keep it a secret?"

It's not that I simply trust her. However, there's already a prior occurrence where she managed to completely keep her mouth shut. Despite her excessive curiosity, she's capable of keeping a secret. But the question is, how long?

Perhaps, it's as long as I am on good terms with her. And I don't see any point or reason to be on bad terms with her.

"Yes. I will take it down to my grave if I have to!"

"Alright… I have to ask Kana about it first. Back then, you caught us in our secret that's why I have no choice but to silence you with what we showed you."

"… That's because you two were acting weird that time. Despite how I looked, I'm quite insightful."

Insightful, huh? Well, she wouldn't have this excessive curiosity if she's not insightful.

"Alright, let's go, senpai."

Since I judged that everything is already settled now that I accepted to let her satisfy that curiosity of hers, I stood up and turned around to leave the room.

However, Otsuka-senpai's next question stopped me in my tracks.

"Wait, Onoda-kun. Can I also experience it?"

"Do you mean you also want to have sex with me?"

"… That's the case. Kana-senpai. I couldn't forget her face that time. She's enjoying it and she seemed to be feeling extreme pleasure." Although there's a brief pause, perhaps she deliberated inwardly, Otsuka-senpai nodded in the end.

"Senpai, Kana and I love each other. True. Having sex can feel good even without that emotion. But you mentioned emotions earlier. Isn't that why you wanted to watch us rather than watch porn?"

"This and that are different Onoda-kun. I don't have a boyfriend. I also don't have any intention to enter a relationship with someone anytime soon. Besides, you're the only one I can ask for this… You don't want me to turn to others for help, right?"

Ah. Watching us and experiencing it are a different matter altogether, huh?

"I see. But I'm only advising you against it, senpai. In the end, it's your decision."

"Then I now decide it to be you, Onoda-kun. Only when you refuse will I consider the other option…"

This girl… She's this determined. To satisfy her curiosity, she would surely not hesitate to turn to others if I refused.

Now the decision lies to me.

With her eyes staring intently at me, she's waiting for my answer whether I will accept it or not.

This is hard…
