Chapter 12: Nya-nya-nya!
TL: Akabane
***
Suzune's strategy was really quite simple.
"Senpai ...... please post two chapters from today ......."
Suzune said that with a smile that was perfect for the crisp morning air.
"Okay. Two chapters. ......Two chapters?!"
I was almost fooled by her fresh smile!!
I'm being confronted with an unbelievably difficult problem.
I roll my eyes, but she's still smiling. I can sense a slight S in her smile and ask her, "Are you serious about that?" but she nods.
"I know it's tough, but you'll get through it, Senpai. ......"
"Two chapters, does that mean I'm going to write twice as many as I've written so far?!"
"Yes, please write two chapters while maintaining the current quality and word count.x
"I'm still writing while saying hihi, you know?"
"Then, from now on, please write while saying haha..."
"No, that's not the problem, ......."
But it seems that Suzune is serious and has no intention of backing down.
But...
"Can I really beat Aoyama by doing that?"
I asked a simple question. Then Suzune opened her phone again and showed me the rankings.
"Look at the point difference between Senpai's work and Usa-san's."
"I saw it, but what's ...... about this?"
"The number of points earned by Senpai and Usa-san yesterday is only 100 different. If you are a Senpai who is currently at the top of the ranking, 100 points is not a difference you can't pull off."
Indeed it is. Although they have been overtaken in the rankings, the difference in points is still not enough to cause pessimism. If they update their works twice, they will be listed in the new updates column for a little longer. Then this 100-point difference might not be a number that can't be removed.
But see .......
"The more submissions you get, the harder it is to maintain quality, you know? No matter how much the number of submissions increases, if the quality goes down, the number of readers will decrease as well."
"Good luck with that."
Suzune today is going to use forceful techniques. When I shrug my shoulders at Suzune's words, she pats me on the head and says, "Senpai, I feel sorry for you ......."
"Senpai, don't be so depressed. I only have a few more weeks to endure. Besides, I'm going to make Senpai even more perverted than usual starting today so that Senpai won't have any trouble with his stories."
As she said this, she looked into my face as she patted my head and smiled encouragingly.
Cute .......
But there are some problems that can't be solved by just being cute. I was looking at her smile, and she suddenly said, "Yes, that's right!" She opened her eyes as if she had an epiphany.
"If you have a reward, would you be able to work harder.....?"
Reward?
I couldn't help but look up at her in response to her words. She seemed to have felt my reaction and continued her words as she patted my head as if she were petting a child.
"If you continue to post two chapters, I'll listen to anything you say."
Anything?
My eyes sparkled. Suzune looked embarrassed and her cheeks flushed as if she thought she had said a little too much.
"Well, if that ...... Senpai wants, then ...... I can do anything ...... I can. But if you want to make a very ecchi wish, you may need to prepare ...... your mind. ......"
Well, well, you make it sound like everything I've done up until now hasn't been too ecchi.
I was so excited by this dreamy reward that my heart leapt.
Suzune will do anything for me! I wonder how far she would go to do anything for me? But anything means anything, right?
As my heart swells with dreams, Suzune seems to have become frightened, and after releasing her hand from my head, she takes one step and then another away from me.
If I didn't do something, even that perverted and beautiful Suzune would be drawn to me.
"How about a kiss ...... or something?"
So I quickly said that for the time being. Then she said, "What?" She tilted her head as if she was a little out of it.
"Yes, it's fine, but ...... are you sure you want to do that?"
"Look, I couldn't do it slowly last time, and I want to kiss Suzune slowly this time."
After I said that, I realized that I had said something outrageous. And Suzune, who was told such a thing, also looked surprised for a while, and then her cheeks suddenly turned red.
And then .......
"S-Senpai, do you feel ...... happy when you are kissed by me?"
Suzune asked that. I was unintentionally embarrassed. And I couldn't help wondering myself like that.
But, it's true, right? I had been shamelessly asking Suzune to lend me her school uniform, wearing a pig nose and bleating in front of her, and all those things. No, that's not good enough for me .......
Anyway, I have repeatedly exchanged kisses with Suzune, which far exceeded the sweet and sour level of kissing.
And yet, I was just asked if I was happy to be kissed by her, and it took a tremendous amount of courage for me to answer.
But I felt like I had to answer.
"I'm happy."
So, I answer that. Then, she also replied, "Um, I'm happy too ......."
"............"
"............"
For a while, there was an indescribable awkwardness between the two of us. But suddenly she walked up to me again and looked up at me.
"Senpai ...... cheeks, please."
"A cheek? You're going to give me a bump?"
What's with that abrupt reward ......?
But...
"I'm going to get angry ......."
She puffed out her cheeks and I maturely put my cheeks forward and she stretched a little taller and touched her lips to my cheek.
It's strange, because the feel of her soft, lush lips makes me feel like I could die right here, right now.
"This is an advance payment ....... If you do your best, next time I'll kiss you where you want me to do, Senpai ......."
"The part I want you to do?"
What the heck. That way of saying something that can be interpreted in an infinite number of ways.
But it seemed that my feelings were leaking out to her through my erotic eyes. She puffed up her cheeks again and said, "I'm really going to get angry." So I apologized to her and said, "I'm sorry."

It seems that Suzune was telling the truth about making me more of a pervert.
During lunch break, Suzune invited me to eat lunch with her, and for some reason I was at the back of the school building with her.
No, why .......
"S-Suzune-chan, I had heard that you want to eat lunch together with me. ......"
She answered as if it was a matter of course, "Yes ...... I came here to eat lunch with Senpai." and pointed to a wooded area spread out behind the school building.
Could it be that? Is it like we are going to gather ingredients from now on?
As I tilted my head, Suzune said, "Just follow me and you'll understand." and walked off into the thicket, leaving me no choice but to walk behind her.
I had no choice but to walk behind her. She walked along a well-maintained hiking route that was halfway between a path for wild animals and a walking trail. After a minute's walk, we were surrounded by dense trees. But then Suzune stopped and pointed to the end of the boardwalk.
"Oh, there it is. ......"
I looked at where she was pointing.
I see. .......
I finally understood why she had come to this wooded area.
At the end of the boardwalk, the trees had opened up to reveal a small open space. And in the center of the square, a table and chairs made of logs were set up.
"This is a hidden spot for those in the know. ......"
"A hidden spot?"
"If even Senpai don't know about it, then it is a hidden spot after all. ...... This is a plaza that the school built so that students can enjoy forest bathing. Well, it seems that no one but some students visit here. ......"
"Indeed. Unless you are an insect collector, you wouldn't want to come to a place like this. ......"
"Well, that's not what I meant. I'm not sure how to describe it ....... but there are very few places in the school where you can be alone with someone, and I'm sure you'll be able to find a place where you can be alone with your partner."
Suzune explains so with a red face. but it made me understand what purpose this plaza is used for by the students.
No, wait ...... it means .......
I was about to guess something for a moment, but Suzune hurriedly shook her head.
"That's not it. ....... But, even if you do something a little perverted, you won't be caught ......."
"Yes, that's right ......."
"At least here, I can pet my Senpai without worrying about the other students' eyes. You know, like this ......"
Suzune pats my head while saying that.
Ahhhh, it's wonderful.......
Suzune stroked my head for a while, then let go of my hand and suddenly started to play with my bag. Seeing her like that, I slightly brace myself.
Eh? Could it be a dog lead again?
But what she pulls out of her bag is different.
"Is that ......?"
"It's Mimi the cat. ......."
She replied, and attached a cat Mimi catsuit to her head.
And then....
"Nyaa."
Suzune's cheeks turned bright red, perhaps embarrassed, as she mewed so.
"Suzune-chan?"
"Nya-nya-nya!"
But she answers my question in cat language.
Eh? What is this ......? I mean, it's devastatingly cute, but what's the right answer for me to give in this situation?
As I look at her with a slightly withdrawn eye, she seems to have lost her patience with her shame and removes her catsuit.
"Senpai, please don't look at me with the pitiful eyes. ...... I'm really embarrassed too ......."
Saying that, she fumbled with her bag again and took out another catsuit and offered it to me.
I see, it seems the contrast has already started.
She put on the cat ears again and started talking in cat language, saying "nya-nya-nya". In other words, she can only speak cat language when she wears this catsuit.
"............"
You want me to do it too? No, no, that's too embarrassing!
No, I'm the one who was piggybacking and buzzing, but it's too embarrassing for both of us to speak cat language. No one's going to be able to pick up on it. ......
But of course, I have no veto power.
I fearfully put the catsuit on my head. Then Suzune purred happily and patted my head.
Oh no. I don't know if I can call this perversity, but it inspires something in me.
If it is ...... then I have to get on this perverted trophy. ‼︎
"Nyaa‼︎"
I'm not human anymore from there.
