Shizuna?

!

Shizuna was staring at Ryuichi as he called out her name, which prompted her to hide her face under the blanket. Ryuichi, who had gotten out of bed a step ahead of Shizuna, chuckled at the sight. Well, it goes without saying that Ryuichi, too, couldnt easily brush off what they just did.

Do you still feel pain anywhere?

There arent any painful spots anymore, but thereisthis strange feeling lingering.

is

this strange feeling lingering.

Thats just the way it is at first. Youll get used to it after doing it a few more times Actually, nevermind.

Ryuichi cut off his words halfway through. He was currently wearing nothing but his pants; his upper body was completely bare, and his strong body was being exposed in all its glory. On the other hand, Shizuna, who was hidden under the blanket, was wearing nothing at all.

This meant only one thing: theyd done the act from start to finish. Of course, they were both observing the proper boundaries theyd set beforehand.

Why did you say nevermind?

Huh?

Does that meanyou wont do it with me anymore?

Her voice sounded very sad, yet at the same time slightly hopeful. Not expecting Shizuna to say this much, Ryuichis eyes opened wide in amazement, but he immediately reached out his arm and patted her head.

Geez, youre a cute little one, arent ya? So? Are you saying you still want to do this with me in the future?

Of course. Ive already become one of your sex friends, Ryuichi-kun. I know this relationship isnt right in the eyes of the public, but I cant stop my feelings for you. Thats why I hope we can continue what we have between us.

I see Cmere, Shizuna.

Yes!

When he ordered her to come, Shizuna immediately cast the blanket aside and jumped into Ryuichis chest. Because she was wearing nothing, her body was in full view of Ryuichi.

She possessed beautiful white skin, but also a figure that was so far beyond any typical high school student; even after all was said and done, her body was just so attractivethat it continuously aroused his lust.

Ryuichi-kun . I love you I love you so much~.

They were only touching each other, yet the expression on Shizunas face was the happiest Ryuichi had ever seen. Since it was her first time, Ryuichi had been careful not to be too rough on her to avoid hurting her.

Shizunas masochistic side, which had occasionally shown itself from beneath her purity and innocence, had been on full display despite it being her first time.

I have to say, Shizuna, you were pretty wild back there. If that was your first time, I cant even begin to imagine what kind of beast youll turn into later.

Dont bring that up But you know, Ryuichi-kunthe only person Ill show that side of me to is you and you alone.

How sweet of you to say.

Shizuna looked up at Ryuichi as he stole her lips. Normally, a kiss in Ryuichi and Shizunas relationship would make them all shy and flustered. Shizuna, however, was not shy at all. She only blushed slightly on her cheeks and asked for more and more kisses.

Umm Even though it was my first time, it felt really good. But somehow, I could tell that you being good at it had a part to play in that. You must be used to it, huh?

Yeah, pretty much. Ive slept with women older than you, and I understand to some extent what I should do to make girls happy. But even without that, youre a very simple and easy-to-understand girl, yknow? You basically like it rough, dontcha?

Geez!

Straightforward as ever, this one,

Ryuichi thought. She was indeed a heroine. Although she was a fallen one, the Shizuna in front of him had a heart so strong that he couldnt feel that impression from her at all. She was dazzling, and Ryuichi honestly commented about that to the current Shizuna.

Youre pure white, Shizuna.

Shizunas eyes were wide in surprise at Ryuichis quiet mutter. Ryuichi continued.

If I am a dull, pitch black color, then you, Shizuna, are a pure, white color that will never be stained no matter what. No matter what I do, you will remain a pure, untainted dye of white Youre a dazzling, beautiful color.

That was all he said before he turned away. He started walking, waving her farewell, but immediately he felt a small impact that had hit his back. He felt her arms wrapped around his stomach; a pair of large, soft mounds on his back; and her forehead pressing against him.

I cant really go home like this, can I?

Im sorry. Please let me be like this for a bit.

It was somewhat cold outside, but he let Shizuna do as she pleased. Then, seemingly in response to Ryuichi, she let out a quiet mutter of her own.

Just like I said before, I really dont know anything about you as a person, Ryuichi-kun.

I dont know why you looked so pained as if you were enduring something while we were having sex, or why you occasionally switch between a kind, caring look and a derogatory, condescending look toward women at times.

?!

Those words struck deep within Ryuichis heart. He felt as if somebody had taken a peek into his heart. However, because it was Shizuna, he did not feel uncomfortable. He was more puzzled as to how she knew.

Before he knew it, hed unknowingly grabbed the hand that shed wrapped around his waist. It was cold, of course, but at the same time it held warmth.

If the time comes when you decide to tell me everything, Id be more than happy to lend an ear. You said it yourself, didnt you? That I am an untainted white. So please dont worry.

No matter what happens, there will always be a color beside you that will never change. I will always be there for you, as a strong color that will paint away your anxieties.

It was such a cliche-sounding line. But even so, they were words that expressed Shizunas character to the fullest. He could see that she was indeed a genuine heroine.

It didnt matter what he remembered from the original worldseeing her opened his eyes to the beauty of human nature, whether he wanted to or not.

Laying his hand on hers, Ryuichi gently unclasped her hand.

Ah

We have to head home soon or else well end up sticking to each other all night. Ill see you later, Shizuna.

Okay. Can I have one last kiss, Ryuichi-kun?

Sure.

Without a hint of hesitation, Ryuichi placed his hand on Shizunas cheek and kissed her. Finally, Ryuichi pulled away from Shizuna and began walking back to his apartment.

A shit ton of things happened today, huh.

He thought back to the days events. To him, the time theyd spent together had been unimaginably sweet, like honey. And at the same time, he hadnt expected the words Shizuna had told him before they parted.

I guess that means that, in the end, Im still your son, huh, you shitty asshole.

The values within him, and the way he thought about women; he ruefully complained about the source of all his twisted parts However, Ryuichi knew. He knew that despite his words, he himself was the worst of them all.

The face of the woman whod smiled filthily at him; her ugly voice that declared him to be a waste of money and a pain in the assthey all threatened to make Ryuichi depressed, but Shizunas smile and words came back to him like sunlight shining into his heart.

I guessit aint too bad.

With this tiny mutter, he promptly made his way back to his home. His steps were light, and his expression was a tad bit cheerful.
