CH 13
The Case of a Childhood Friend That I Haven't Talked to in a Long Time is a Pushover
Basically, the way I spend my days off is the same whether Kasumi is there or not. If neither of us has plans to go out with friends, we have no choice but to just hang out together.
ââ¦Kasumi?â
âYeah?â
We are both lying on the floor reading manga, and Kasumi is trying to pull herself snugly against my shoulder. Weâve been doing this from the moment we woke up this morning until now, and Kasumi has shown no sign of leaving at all.
âYouâre attached to me the whole time.â
âYou wouldnât mind being stuck with such a beautiful girl, would you?â
âDonât say it yourself. â¦â¦â
[you said that, but itâs actually true]. Kasumi, whose good looks belie the word âbeautiful girlâ and who seems confident in her own appearance, closed one eye with a snap.
ââ¦â¦..I think it suits you.â
âRight? I canât do this to anyone else.â
Kasumi then stretched her arms to the ceiling.
As if to relax her stiff body, she lowered her raised arms and her b***s swayed according to gravity, as if I could hear a âpoyonâ sound.
ââ¦â¦â¦..â
Without saying a word, I quietly looked away.
The difference between the male and female body, or rather the place where I can notice the difference the most, is greatly expanded in Kasumiâs case. I remember that she started to grow rapidly from around the second year of junior high school, and I wonder if it was around that time that she also started to become clearly aware of the differences between men and women.
âWhatâs wrong? You Stared at my B****sâ
she awares is one thingâ¦â¦but, she doesnât happen to be shy about it at all, and she doesnât have to say it straight out.
ââ¦.Fufuâªâ
Then Kasumi, with a wicked smile on her face, came up behind me. I felt the touch of her b****s on my back, which I had just become aware of.
âHere here, check how I grow.â
The power was put into Kasumiâs arms that went around the sides of my neck as if to say that she would never let go. As she rocked her body, she would change any shape by rubbing against it in rhythm.
ââ¦â¦ you, in case youâre wondering, Iâm a man too, okay?â
âI know. I only do it to Kazuki.â
ââ¦â¦â¦.â
My heart jumped a little at those words.
Thatâsâ¦..from that time. Since that time when I met Maejima with Kasumi and asked myself what kind of person Kasumi is to me,â¦â¦ I feel like Iâve been following her with my eyes in a strange way.
ââ¦.Haaâ
âHey, If you sigh, youâll let happiness slip away.â
âWhose fault is it?â
I really wonder whatâs wrongâ¦â¦.
I let Kasumi do what she wanted for a bit as it was. She was still rubbing herself against my back, but as if remembering something, she stood up.
âWhatâs wrong?â
âyeah. I just remembered something.â
Kasumi said just that and left the room.
After a while, Kasumi returned and what she held in her hand was a cake.
âMom gave it to me yesterday, saying we should eat it together. Kazuki bought a cake for me before, and I itâs my thanks for that.â
âI see. Then Iâll take it gratefully.â
Kasumi and I ate a cake that aunt had bought for us.
While doing that, there must have been a little cream on my mouth. Kasumi said wait a minute and reached out her finger, took the cream from my mouth and licked it off.
âDelicious âªâ
ââ¦â¦â¦..â
â¦â¦..Ugh!
How can she do that kind of thing with a cool face, this girl! Sometimes I think Iâve bugged her about distance because I havenât talked to her in a while, but then I think about it and realize that nothing has changed from the old days.
âThe cake is delicious with Kazuki. And Iâm very happy.â
I stare at Kasumi as she smiles and puts a piece of cake on her fork. After a while, I came to myself and looked back at her, wondering what she was doing. This kept happening.
âWhatâs really going on?â
[Whatâs really going on] She asked, thatâs what I want to know too. I replied that it was nothing and I flattened my cake too.
âHey Kazuki, I donât know whatâs wrong with you, but I have a great way to blow your worries away?â
âHmmm~ Whatâs that?â
âTry closing your eyes.â
I closed my eyes as I was told.
Then I felt Kasumiâs hand on my head, and I felt her pull me closer to her, and I felt a soft sensation across my face.
âYouâ!?â
âStay calmâ
I tried to move away with a clear understanding of what my situation was, but the sharp sound of Kasumiâs voice stopped me in my tracks.
âEmbarrassed? If I were in the same position, Iâm sure I would think so. But wouldnât you feel safer if I did this?â
Kasumi then began to stroke my head. The ticklish yet pleasant sensation calmed my troubled mind. My embarrassment did not disappear, but I was sure that I felt relieved, just as Kasumi had told me.
ââ¦.I wonder if this makes me relieved.â
âI know right. Because I remember how relieved I felt when my mom would do this to me.â
âIâm just a kid, but I donât mean to be that smallâ¦â¦.â
â¦â¦ Isnât Kasumi embarrassed? From the way she talks, it seems there is no change from the usual. Well, I canât look up at her so I canât see her expression.
âCan we let go now?â
ââ¦â¦ just a little more.â
âBut you know what?â
âJust stay still and shut up!â
âO-Okay!â
Like that, I collapsed.
It seems that Kasumi laid on the floor on her back, and depending on how you look at it, it may appear as if I pushed her down.
âAre you okayâ¦â¦.?â
âYes. Kazuki is â¦â¦ okay right? soft cushions covered you.â
T-This girlâ¦â¦When did this girl start making fun of me so much? Despite the softness that was transmitted across my face, the arms holding my head were so strong that I had to remain in the same position for a while.
(Wwwwwww-What should I do, I donât know what to do, Iâm red in the face right now and Iâm so embarrassed to be seen like thisâ¦â¦..)
Kazuki is red to the ears, but Kasumiâs face was the same red.
She does not let Kazukiâs head leave her chest because she does not want him to see that face, and if she does, he will see her face, which is as red as a boiled octopus.
(â¦â¦ soft and relieving)
(â¦â¦ makes me feel safe when Iâm doing this)
But it was clear that they felt comfortable in the present with each other.
