CH 35

“―Sorry for the wait.”

After changing into his normal clothes, Yō called out to Kasumi, who was playing with Nya~san in the living room.

She seemed to be enjoying her time with Nya~san very much and was touching Nya~san’s paw with a sloppy smile on her face.

In front of Nya~san, his childhood friend has a deredere expression on her face, but he pretends not to see it and walks back to his room.

Then, Kasumi was seemingly happy and followed Yō as he came to pick her up, and the two of them went into Yō’s room.

But then―

“Yō.”

“Hmm? What are you doing?”

When Yō turned around, he saw Kasumi reaching for her black stockings, so he asked her what she was doing.

However, Kasumi did not answer the question and began to take off her black stockings.

The black part of the stockings began to diminish, revealing her beautiful white skin without a single stain.

Yō couldn’t take his eyes off the situation and watched until Kasumi finished taking them off.

That made Kasumi grin as she finished removing her stockings.

“You like that, don’t you?”

“Can you stop treating people like perverts?”

“But your eyes were glued to me though.”

Kasumi approached him as she said this, looking up at him from close range with a grin on her face.

To her, Yō opened his mouth, turning his face away.

“It’s just your imagination.”

Seeing this, Kasumi giggled inwardly.

And then she followed up with more.

“Yō, come sit on the bed.”

“What? Why?”

“I’ll sit on your lap.”

“―Ha!?”

“It’s okay, right? You have no right to refuse. I’ll make sure you keep your promise, okay?”

The promise that Kasumi and Yō made was that for one day every week, Kasumi would be allowed into Yō’s room, and she would be allowed to do as she pleased.

But whatever they used to be, they had been fighting for about it a year and a half before.

Yō had thought that this would make Kasumi gradually close the distance between them, so he was taken aback by the sudden words.

“Aren’t you confused or something?”

“Yō said he wanted to drop everything that happened, right? I’m just trying to help you do that.”

“But still…”

“If you don’t keep your word, I’ll get angry, okay?”

He wanted to know what Kasumi was going to do when she got angry― but he already knew that provoking her was not a good idea.

So, knowing that the situation would get more and more complicated, Yō sat down on the bed and spread his arms.

Then, Kasumi looked very happy as she sat down on Yō’s lap.

She then curls up a little and rests her face on Yō’s chest.

No matter how you look at it, she was already in spoiled child mode.

“You’ve changed your personality too much…”

“I’ve always been like this for a long time though.”

It’s true that up until two years ago, when it was just the two of them, Kasumi would instantly go into a pampered state.

However, once they were separated, and until they made up, Kasumi had an attitude of resentment towards Yō, so he was confused when she suddenly became such a pampered child.

Besides, as a result of spoiling her unintentionally, Kasumi ended up being heavily dependent on him.

Yō’s mind was torn as to whether or not he should continue to spoil her.

And he was also troubled by the direction of his gaze.

She was currently wearing a sleeveless dress that showed off her shoulders and sides and denim shorts that she would not normally wear.

In short, she was exposing a lot of skin, which is a dangerous sight no matter where he looked.

When Yō was at a loss for where to look, Kasumi opened her mouth with a grin.

“What’s the matter? You seem to be in some kind of trouble.”

“You know what you’re asking, don’t you?”

“Well, what are you talking about?”

When Kasumi grinned, Yō felt the urge to pinch her cheek.

However, if he did that, Kasumi would cry, so he held his ground and opened his mouth.

“You’ve grown quite fond of exposure, haven’t you?”

“Don’t get me wrong, Yō’s the only one who can see me like this!”

Yō wasn’t sure if he should be happy to hear that.

At any rate, she was in front of the house in this outfit, so the neighbors could see her, but apparently Kasumi didn’t care.

“Who’s going to be happy about that…?”

“Hee~, but you like bare legs, right?”

Kasumi gave him a provocative look and began to stroke her beautiful white legs with her hand. 

Yō’s gaze was caught by the movement, but he immediately panicked and warned himself.

“‘I’m not that perverted.”

“You’re an adolescent boy, why don’t you just be honest with your desires?”

“It would be foolish of me to release my desires when you say so.”

He answered like that , but it was not convincing because his gaze was still glued to Kasumi’s thighs.

“You acted like you weren’t interested in girls, but you’re actually really horny towards them.”

“Don’t be ridiculous, I’ll push you down, okay?”

“If you do that, I’ll cry to my aunt and tell her that Yō bullied me.”

“…”

The only thing in this world that Yō is not good at.

And that is, dealing with his mother.

The reason why he’s reluctant to go to school every day even though he thinks it’s useless is because he can’t go against his mother.

Kasumi has known ever since she was young that if she uses Yō’s mother as a shield, most of her demands will be met.

The reason why she didn’t use her power when she and Yō had a fight was probably because she instinctively knew that if she did that, she would never be able to start over with Yō.

However, now that they were able to start over, there was no doubt that she would start using it for a lot of things.

“You really have always been a sly one…”

“If Yō would just be honest to himself and spoil me, problem solved.”

“And the fact that you can say that proudly makes my head spin.”

In the end, Yō gave up, then he reached for Kasumi’s head and began to gently stroke it.

Satisfied with this, Kasumi again laid her head on Yō’s chest and rubbed her cheek.
