Chapter 12: A Reliable Girl Friend

Yuzuriha and I sat down on a bench in the shopping arcade and waited for her to stop crying. In the meantime, I called Ayashiro.

||  "What is it? I mean, where are you now? The party will be over soon. You promised to escort me, didn't you?"

Ayashiro, who answered the phone, sounded somewhat unhappy. I'm sorry that I couldn't stay with you until the end of the party.

"It's kind of hard to explain in a few words. Can you come to the end of the shopping arcade for a bit after the new joyous occasion? I need your help."

||  ""Help? You want me to help you?"

"Yes. Ayashiro, you're the only one I can rely on. Please help me."

Yuzuriha was crying. But as it turned out, it was the man who made her cry. If possible, I wanted a woman to be by her side.

||  "Oh dear! Yes, yes! Okay, I'll go there after the party. You just wait there for a minute. I'll be right with you."

The tone of her voice instantly became more pleasant. I thought it was annoying, but maybe it wasn't. Thank goodness for that. And after a while, Ayashiro came in.

"Oh my goodness! I get called over and there's this cute pretty girl crying! What's this all about?!"

Ayashiro looked at me and Yuzuriha with curious eyes. Ayashiro's hand caresses Yuzuriha's cheek.

"You're a beautiful girl. Come on, stop crying already. Tears don't suit you. Smile for me."

Yuzuriha meditated ticklishly and immediately stopped crying. She was still clutching my chest, but she had calmed down considerably and her color had improved. Ayashiro awesome.

"So? What's the situation? I'll be thorough!"

I explained everything from the beginning. But that's Ayashiro. If this woman likes it, she'll do it.

"I see. In other words, you succeeded in taking home a girl and you want to brag to me about it? And if you want to, you want to invite me to a threesome, too, right? I'm sorry. I've decided that for my first time, it's going to be just the two of us, in the heat of the moment, in the privacy of my lovely boyfriend's room. And I'd rather not have a threesome with a girl with bigger boobs than me."

"Haha! There's too much to poke at!"

"I'm not going to get into the bottom of..."

"I won't let you say that! It's too much!"

Ayashiro is smiling. She's probably soaked in alcohol, so she must be having a good time.

"Um, Kanata. For my precious first time too...I want it to be just the two of us!"

Yuzuriha's first words after she stopped crying were, as I didn't expect, an dirty talk! Ayashiro's bacteria had spread to her!

"Don't get on this woman's bandwagon!"

"But after the second time! I don't care if it's three if it's a gentle girl like Ayashiro! I have two nipples on my good-for-nothing breasts! Please suck them both!"

[TL: WTF.]

"Hey Ayashiro! A girl from the countryside is now dyed in the darkness of the city because of you! What are you going to do about it?!"

Ayashiro is making a smug face. Ugh, that's so annoying. But it's to her credit that she got her to stop crying and cheer up.

"Ugh. That's my punishment for leaving me alone. But I'm glad. You weren't the kind of scum that would abandon a girl in need. I was right and I'm so glad I brought you here today. I'm super fine!"

"Well, yeah. I would have been in a lot of trouble without you."

"Yeah, you're right. Yes, that's right, Yuzuriha! You should be thanking me to death! As a mathematician, you know all about cause and effect and logic! I brought this man here today! I am the one who saved your life!"

What's that? It sounds cryptic, but the fact that it's not a lie is kind of annoying. But Yuzuriha looks as if she has been struck by lightning and grabs Ayashiro's hand.

"What a perfect logic! Thank you, Ayashiro! Thank you so much!"

Then Yuzuriha hugs Ayashiro. Ayashiro patted Yuzuriha's head with a good-natured smile.

"Oh, your tits are so soft. So this is how a novel hero feels when he rescues a big-breasted heroine and gets a lucky break. Good! Very nice!"

Seriously, this woman looks like she's having fun. But thanks to her, Yuzuriha is kind of cheered up. I guess this kind of encouragement is better from the same sex. It was very helpful.

And after a while, their bodies separate and Ayashiro also sits on the bench. Me, Yuzuriha, and Ayashiro in that order. Yuzuriha is holding hands with me and Ayashiro respectively. I still feel a little uneasy and scared. What should I do? I thought I should send her home.

"Where does Yuzuriha live? I'll walk you home."

"Oh, no! I'm sorry! I live in a university dormitory in Mitaka! It's quite far from the station there. I'm so scared!"

I had heard about the dormitory in Mitaka. I heard it is called an isolated island on land or something. But I heard that the dormitory fee is very cheap.

"Oh no, this guy! He's trying to change his job to a "wolf"! But it's a disaster, isn't it? Yuzuriha's first drinking party in her life is ruined, isn't it? Poor Yuzuriha."

I thought that was true. It's too pathetic to have the first drinking party of your life like that.

"Yes, I agree. But I met you two like this! That's enough for me!"

Yuzuriha smiled at me like that. But I still feel sorry for her. Drinking parties are fun. I don't want her to be afraid of them. Even after you go out in the world, it is very important to have a drinking session. Then it hit me.

"Ayashiro, Yuzuriha. Do you two have a curfew?"

"I don't have a curfew. I just have to call my father and I'll be fine."

"There is no curfew in our dormitory."

The deal was off. Ayashiro seemed to have already guessed what I was thinking. She looked at me expectantly. Yuzuriha is tilting her head. She looks like a cute hamster.

"Tomorrow is Sunday! Let's play till morning! This is an after-party! Let's make a lot of noise and forget all the bad stuff!"

"Oh my! That's good! I'm in!"

Ayashiro is so flirtatious. I love girls like that!

"The after-party...it's the three of us, right?"

"That's right. Let's go!"

I extend my hand to Yuzuriha. Yuzuriha looked at my hand and shook my hand with a big smile on her face.

"Yes! Let's go!"

And I pull Yuzuriha's hand and run down the shopping street. Ayashiro was following happily. We set off for the after-party, just the three of us.

I came to a billiard shop. With darts.

"This is my favorite place!"

On the first round of the world. I had my fair share of friends, even though I was a bit of a loner, and I sometimes went there for fun. This was the place to go.

"Wow. It's a pretty nice place. It's so stylish with sofas and tables."

The nice thing about this place is that each billiard table comes with a sofa. I enjoyed lounging on the sofa while waiting for the table.

"Billiards...! I'm too mature!"

Yuzuriha is somewhat excited about the billiard table itself. Her eyes were sparkling as she stared at the table and the balls. I love this kind of initial reaction. It makes me happy too.

"What do you two want to drink? I'll order."

"It's the after-party, you can drink whatever you want, right? I wish that drinking party culture would die out. Red wine for now. And a fruit platter."

"Oh, I understand! I wanted to be allowed to drink what I wanted, but I didn't like the feeling that it had to be beer! A pitcher of beer was so dull and unappetizing! I'm going to drink potato shochu straight up with no ice. And Iburi gakko with cream cheese on top."

Ayashiro is just as I imagined, but Yuzuriha's order is very reluctant.

"I'm going to go with bottled beer instead of draft. And for snacks, nuts, I guess."

Personally, I like bottled beer about the size of a foreign 500ml plastic bottle. I go to the counter to place my order. And soon the drinks and snacks come out. I bring the tray to the two sitting on the couch.

"Eh. Ohon. Cheers to the after-party!"

""Kanpai!""

It was just the three of us, but it must have been the most enjoyable toast of my life. I believe it was not only for me, but also for the two of them.
