Chapter 2086: Numb

Chapter 2086: Numb



Naturally, I didn't continue reaching for her shoulder after that kind of reaction. Instead, I looked at her straight with an inquiring gaze to push down the pressure on her. It's my turn, I guess.

Noticing that, Minori-senpai noticeably fixed her hair and then wet her dried lips before gulping down.

That simple action actually made her more human, or rather, it hit me that she was not really as still as I thought she was. She could still be shaken and exhibit traits a girl her age would do.

"Haa... There is no escaping those keen eyes of yours, is there?"

"I apologize, senpai."

"Give me your hand."

"Hmm?"

"Just hurry and give it to me. You want to know, am I correct?"

"Yes. Then, here."

Upon saying that, I brought my hand to her which Minori-senpai immediately grabbed.

While holding that, she used her other hand to unbutton her uniform; the first two below her neck.

Due to that, the smooth part of her upper chest came into my view along with a glimpse of her valley.

But well, that's not the focus here because she placed my hand there. She even had me uncurl my fingers and straighten them, allowing my palm to land on her smooth skin and a touch of softness.

I could already feel her heartbeat drumming up. Not to mention, her face, despite maintaining its calm, was showing signs of reddening.

This girl... What she's trying to do must've been something she already planned before this meeting. And obviously, what she wanted to feel with my hand was the thing I suspected.

With her guidance, the tip of my fingers slid within the right side of her shoulder. It was still smooth halfway through until I felt a bump.

From how it felt, it was probably the beginning of a stitch mark and it ran horizontally across the lower side of her shoulder blades and close to her right chest.

My fingers even slipped beneath the strap of her bra and only stopped right before her underarm.

"What do you think?" She asked me as she let go of my hand but did not pull it out. She's biting her lip, maybe enduring the foreign sensation of someone else touching it.

Unlike Yuika-senpai who'd probably panic if someone touched or focused on the scar on her face, Minori-senpai directly let me feel it instead of simply showing it.

"This is a long cut. Did someone attempt to...?"

Her words and actions might seem contradictory but I could sense a pattern.

As seconds passed, Minori-senpai started kissing that part of my neck. Her fingers slowly dug into my back as she seemed to begin getting into the mood.

Perhaps noticing my lack of movement or reaction, she arbitrarily stopped and whispered, "I understand now. You also have some self-control."

"Are you testing me, senpai?"

Yeah. She's dead wrong about it. I also have little self-control when it comes to things like this. However, her abrupt attempt like this wasn't going to trigger that. I mean, we're talking about her and I'm trying to comfort her.

I guess she's also someone who can't read a proper mood on this kind of thing. "No. I'm genuinely trying to turn you on. You see, I still have the urges of a woman. I'd rather have you than some random guy. Not that I've tried looking for one. It's too troublesome. But you... I see you every day and you seem trustworthy."

"I see. But senpai, I don't think this is the way to go about it."

"Is it because I treat it lightly?"

"I'm afraid I have to answer yes. I won't try to wash my hands to say I never did it with someone who's not my girl yet but... it's the lack of emotion that I think isn't right. It may be just an urge to you, senpai. But you'll understand that it's more than that. Will you feel

excited from my touch? My kisses?"

"I see... You're right. I'm taking it too lightly... Sorry."

"You don't have to. Aren't I here to help you?"

Upon saying this, I brought my hand down to her nape, slipping it behind her flowing hair.

Then, as I slowly tightened my hold on her, I lifted her chin and parted her trembling lips.

"A-are you sure you'll help me in this way?" Perhaps realizing that I wasn't going to pull back from this, a hint of astonishment flashed on her face.

"Yes. Senpai, you said you cannot form a special connection with someone anymore. What do

you think will happen if I manage to do that?"

"T-that's... I don't know. I've been numbed for so long."

"I see. Then close your eyes, senpai. This will be quick."

As I put on a gentle smile to diffuse her floundering, I pinched her chin and lowered my head

further.

Listening to my words, Minori-senpai closed her eyes to wait for the eventual meeting of our

lips.
