Volume 4 - CH 8

First, Yuzuru took Arisa’s hand and kissed the back of her hand.

Then again, Arisa’s body trembled with nervousness.

“Do you like it?”

“Ye-yes…”

Arisa writhed a little.

It was clear that she preferred to be kissed on the back of the hand.

Perhaps she completely lost her strength.

Arisa left her entire body in Yuzuru’s hands.

While gently supporting her, Yuzuru gently stroked her beautiful hair.

Her fine hair glistened in the sunlight.

It was pure, mysterious, and even divine, and it fell smoothly from his hands.

Yuzuru took a handful of Arisa’s hair and gently put his nose to it.

And sniffed it.

The soft scent of shampoo and conditioner penetrated his nose.

“Yu-Yuzuru-san…?”

“How about this?”

Yuzuru whispered softly in her ear.

He pressed his lips to Arisa’s pure hair.

Gently, he took her hair between his lips and slightly into his mouth.

“Ah… ah…”

Hot breath spilled from her glossy lips.　

When Yuzuru gently grabbed her hand, Arisa squeezed it back tightly.

She grabbed his clothes with one of her hands as if to cling to him.

Yuzuru, on the other hand, tangled his fingers in Arisa’s hair and pulled her closer to him.

The next thing she knew, Arisa was burying her face in Yuzuru’s chest, and he was hugging her from the front.

“I love you.”

“…me too.”

Slowly, naturally, little by little, step by step.

Yuzuru dropped his lips from Arisa’s hair to her ear.

Arisa hugged Yuzuru tightly as if she was gluing him to her.

Then, he kissed the cheek of the trembling Arisa.

“Yu-Yuzuru-san…”

With a slight reddening of her eyes, Arisa looked up at Yuzuru.

Then she gently brought her face closer to Yuzuru’s.

Her lips were glossy and moist.

She pressed her lips lightly against Yuzuru’s cheek.

Their blue eyes and green eyes crossed.

Yuzuru brought his own lips close to Arisa’s, and…

“Yu-Yuzuru-san…”

He stopped moving when Arisa pushed his chest.

When Yuzuru regained his senses, Arisa’s face was bright red and she was shaking a little.

“…Was it unpleasant?”

Yuzuru asked, and Arisa gave a small shake of her head.

“N-No… That’s not the case…but”

Arisa turned her face away from Yuzuru.

She then cautiously looked at her surroundings.

“Um, here…  we’re outside…”

“Eh?　A-ah…”

Yuzuru scratched his cheek when he heard that.

He had completely forgotten that this was a public place.

When he looked around, some people looked away.

It seemed they had been looking at them.

“Sorry about that.”

“N-no… Even I forgot about it halfway through.”

Arisa’s ears had turned bright red.

It seems that Yuzuru’s lead was not so wrong, except for the fact that this was a park, outdoors, and in a public place.

At least, Arisa was willing to do so right up until the last minute.

(Ah, I got impatient, didn’t I?)

Another failure.

…Although Yuzuru is trying his best to lead Arisa with a façade of calmness, he is also a virgin with only Arisa as his only female experience.

There’s nothing he could do about it.

(…Should I ask a pro in this field?)

A pro.

In other words, it is Soichiro.

…By the way, how far does that jerk take it with his childhood friends?

Yuzuru was a little curious about the level of sexual progress of his childhood friends, but he tried not to think about it too much because it might make things awkward the next time they meet.

” Yuzuru-san… Yuzuru-san?”

“Eh? Ah… Sorry, Arisa. What’s wrong?”

When Arisa called his name, Yuzuru returned to his senses.

On the other hand, Arisa, with a blush on her cheeks, tugged at Yuzuru’s clothes.

“Um, shall we get going?”

Apparently, Arisa wanted to get away from this place as soon as possible.

…As expected it was very embarrassing.

And Yuzuru agreed with her.

“That’s right… Yeah, let’s do that.”

Yuzuru and Arisa hurriedly started preparing to leave.

(In the end, we didn’t enjoy the cherry blossoms much.)

On the way home.

Yuzuru grumbled inwardly as the two of them walked back side by side.

However, he did get to enjoy good food and the lovely Arisa.

He enjoyed dumplings over the flowers.

And Arisa over the dumplings.

On the other hand, that Arisa…

“….”

Perhaps she was embarrassed by what she had just done, she remained silent.

Her cheeks were still slightly red.

However, she didn’t seem to be angry, and the embarrassed Arisa was adorable.

Yuzuru decided not to worry too much about it, thinking that she would soon return to normal after some time.

Now, as they were walking along like that…

“Whoa.”

“Ara.”

“Oh.”

They ran into Yuzuru’s friend, Hijiri Ryozenji.

He was riding a bicycle with a shopping bag in the basket.

“Oh, you live around here, don’t you?”

“Ah… are you two on a date?”

“Something like that.”

It seemed that Hijiri was on his way home from shopping.

In the bag, snacks and chocolate confections were peeking out.

“Hmmm…”

Hijiri put his hand on his chin and looked a little thoughtful.

Then he made a proposal to Yuzuru and Arisa.

“If you don’t mind, why don’t you come by?　I can at least offer you some tea.”

Yuzuru remembered that he hadn’t been to Hijiri’s house in a long time.

Every year, members of the Ryozenji family, including Hijiri, come to the Takasegawa family for greetings… but Yuzuru doesn’t often go there himself.

It might be a good idea to do that once in a while.

Besides…

“What do you want to do, Arisa?”

Arisa had never visited the Ryozenji family before.

Since she was going to marry into the Takasegawa family, it might be a good idea to visit the Ryozenji family once to show her face.

…Of course, if she wants to focus on her date with Yuzuru, he will not force her to go.

There will be plenty of opportunities to visit in the future.

Now, when Yuzuru asked her, Arisa gave a small nod.

“Let’s see. Then, we’ll take you up on your offer.”

This is how it was decided that they would make a quick stop at Ryozenji house.
