Chapter 364: The Curious Girl's Advances

The same routine as yesterday. As soon as the bell rang for the end of the school day, I went straight to the Literature Club to help Kana with her novel.

And as expected, that Kenji was absent. Afraid to run into me, he's now ditching the club every day. If only that's the case. But I still heard from Ishida-senpai how he's asking about Kana.

Because Momoiro-senpai was stopping him from approaching Kana in their classroom, he had no choice but to run to Ishida-senpai.

However, Ishida-senpai told him the truth.

The truth is that even until now, Kana and I are still as tight as he last saw us.

Apart from helping Kana, we also began talking about that plan I drew up for the cultural festival.

Ishida-senpai and Otsuka-senpai drew up some revision for it.

However, the way they revised it was the opposite.

Ishida-senpai removed some of the things listed in it through her realistic views that we wouldn't be able to prepare everything in it.

On the other hand, Otsuka-senpai added more, talking about how it would be more fun for those who would visit the club.

In the end, while Kana, Rae and I were busy with proofreading her novel, Otsuka-senpai and Ishida-senpai debated about what they both proposed for the Cultural Festival.

It was good at first since the three of us could spend some quality time just sitting close to each other.

However, halfway through it, Ishida-senpai and Otsuka-senpai pulled me in to give my opinion.

Because the two of them were both talking with some sense, I became torn on which side I would stand on.

When I took Otsuka-senpai's side on one issue, Ishida-senpai threw me a glare with a pouting expression as if I did her wrong. And when I took Ishida-senpai's side on to the next issue, it was Otsuka-senpai's turn to feel like I was favouring Ishida-senpai over her.

And because of that, Otsuka-senpai, reached in for my hand stealthily as if that's the cost for taking Ishida-senpai's side.

Furthermore, the curious girl found it not enough to just lock our hands together, when she felt comfortable doing it, she put my hand on her legs before doing the same. She even specifically lifted her skirt, to let me experience it directly.

While she couldn't do the same to me, Otsuka-senpai moved her hand closer to that part of me, as if trying to feel it from that position.

Unbeknownst to her debate partner and the two girls busy perfecting the novel, the curious girl was satisfying her curiosity about other things.

Rubbing my thighs, searching for what's beneath my pants and nudging me to also do the same to her, the girl's body temperature rose to a degree.

There's no doubt that even if I didn't intentionally move my hand upwards, Otsuka-senpai was being turned on from it.

Soon enough, the club hours ended and we separated from each other. Otsuka-senpai slumped herself on the table, perhaps to revel with the sensation of what happened or she just didn't want the others to see her flushed face.

Well, there's also the possibility that she was too wet down there that it might leak if she stood up from her seat.

Either way, she chose to be left behind in the club room while we all stood up to leave.

Contrary to the previous days, Ishida-senpai joined us on our way out of the school.

She's taking the train so after leaving the school gates, Ishida-senpai separated from us after leaving a reminder to me.

She's reminding me about how I need to be discreet about my relationship with Kana and Rae. It's a bit of friendly advice from her. Perhaps she's thinking that we might soon stand out among the crowds and see two girls being close to me.

If only she knew that there’s not only Kana, Rae and Yae. If she ends up knowing how many I have, I expect another round of reprimanding from her.

In any case, I thanked her for her reminder before taking Rae and Kana to their bus stop.

While we're waiting for it to arrive, I talked to Kana alone first. Rae understood that it was somewhat personal so she stepped to the side, giving us the space.

Because Otsuka-senpai's actions appeared to be escalating, I told Kana about her requests.

However, as I expected, Kana didn't answer immediately. Instead of that, the first thing she asked me was… 'Do you like Karen, Ruki?'.

When faced with that question, I deliberated for a while before answering 'no' and Kana noticed that.

Honestly, I deliberated because I have no idea what will happen next if I really ended up granting that request.

After doing it with Otsuka-senpai, will I just be able to walk away as if it's not my business anymore? Will I have to act as if nothing happened between us?

We will still be members of the same club and we will continue seeing each other everyday.

For now, the premise for that request is that it is to satisfy her curiosity and for me to take responsibility for awakening her interest in that subject. It all started that day when she caught onto my connection with Kana.

Thinking about it, I never had sex with anyone else apart from the girls I stole and liked and those who were eventually conquered by me.

Kissing like what I did with Arisa-senpai and Saki wasn't as intimate as that so… My mind wasn't that troubled by it.

However, if I end up doing it with Otsuka-senpai, it will become another precedent. Or I will end up worrying about her after it and I may develop feelings for her.

I'm a fickle man after all. Although it looked like I was picking my targets, I always ended up liking them.

And with Otsuka-senpai, we will be sharing a deeper bond.

Perhaps, that's why Kana asked about it first.

I know that there's that term called sex-friend but… I'm not the kind of guy who will settle with only that.

And that's even more evident now that I remembered all the emotions I've forgotten before.

In the end, after hearing my answer Kana smiled and kissed me before telling me that she's leaving the decision on what to do about Otsuka-senpai's requests; letting Otsuka-senpai watch us have sex and letting her experience the same thing with me.

"Ruki, you don't need to decide hastily. Think about it and… Use the time to know about Karen first before making the decision."

Kana ended our conversation about Otsuka-senpai with these words.

Soon after that, the bus arrived and the two girls boarded it.

Rae noticed that I somehow looked conflicted after my talk with Kana, so before she followed after Kana, Rae gave me an encouragement straight from her knowledge bank.

"Ruki, whatever's running inside your mind right now, there's always a solution if it's a problem and there's always an answer if it's a question. It's fine to think about it carefully but you shouldn't let it occupy your whole mind. If you can't find the answer or the solution yet, set it aside and clear your mind first. More often than not, the answer will come in the most unexpected way possible."

After saying that, Rae also kissed me before laughing to lift up my mood.

Well, what she said was also telling the same message as what Kana told me.

In any case, she will also know about it when I finally come to a decision.
