I Got Into a Secret Relationship With a Girl Who Was Out of My League
As we left the aquarium, the sun was beginning to set.
We had spent some time relaxing at the café inside the aquarium and had a light meal, so I wasn’t very hungry.
We had planned to spend the day together as a couple, but what would we do after this?
I wanted to spend a little more time with her. But what if she refused?
With these thoughts in mind, I couldn’t bring myself to ask her about it as she hugged the stuffed animal.
The penguin stuffed animal she bought at the aquarium’s souvenir shop.
From the moment she saw it, Nanamori couldn’t take her eyes off it. After hesitating several times, she finally decided to buy it.
“Do you like it that much?”
“It’s cute, isn’t it? It looks a lot like Yagami kun.”
“…Again?”
“I think I’ll name it Subaru.”
“Give me a break.”
Does this look like me?
A black, fluffy body with a small orange beak.
This thing with round eyes and a rather “dumb” face…
“Are you taking it home?”
“No, I’ll put it at Yagami kun’s house.”
“My house? Fine, whatever.”
“Fufu. Be nice to him.”
Hmm. Can we get along?
Its pitch-black, empty eyes stared at me.
As we were having that conversation, a black luxury car pulled up next to us as we headed toward the station.
…What is this?
Standing in front of Nanamori to protect her, the rear window slowly rolled down, and a sharp gaze from a man in a suit peered through the gap.
…Who is he? No, I’ve seen him somewhere…
I tried to search my memory, but my attention was diverted to something else and I stopped.
Nanamori, who was behind me, was trembling with fear.
“Nanamori…?”
“…F-father…”
“!”
She called out to the man in front of her in a slightly trembling voice.
Father.
The man peering through the window had a youthful, handsome face and a straight posture.
“What are you doing here?”
His voice was calm, but the coldness and domineering atmosphere behind it changed the mood of the room, creating a tense atmosphere.
Nanamori finally spoke, looking down with a gloomy expression.
“Just…with a friend.”
“…A friend.”
The gaze that had been fixed on Nanamori shifted to me.
After studying me for a moment, it returned to Nanamori.
“We have another dinner meeting tomorrow. Do you understand how important this period is?”
“…I’m sorry. I understand.”
“I still have work to do after this. Let’s talk when I get home.”
“…Yes.”
“I’m saying this for your own good. And…from now on, refrain from hanging out with the opposite sex.”
“…”
“I’ll send someone to pick you up, so wait here.”
“…It’s okay. I’ll go home by myself.”
“…Drive.”
Nanamori’s father looked ahead, and the window began to close as the car started moving.
Nanamori trembled, clenching her hands tightly without saying a word.
The peaceful atmosphere from earlier turned into a hellish one.
I didn’t know what to say to Nanamori.
I felt helpless and pathetic.
But Nanamori approached me, regardless of my helplessness, and hugged me.
“N-Nanamori?”
“…Just let me do this for a little while.”
“…Okay.”
I hugged Nanamori back, whose voice was trembling.
We continued like that, ignoring the stares of those around us, until her trembling subsided.
“I’m sorry. Thank you.”
After a while, I stepped away from Nanamori and thanked her. The trembling had stopped, but her voice was still dark.
“…I’ll take you home.”
As her father had said earlier, it wasn’t appropriate for us to stay together any longer.
So at least to her house. I wanted to spend as much time with her as possible, so I made that suggestion.
“…”
But she didn’t respond.
“Nanamori?”
“… ”
“…Want to come to my place?”
“…Yeah.”
After calling out to her a few times, Nanamori nodded slightly.
And so we returned to my house by train in silence.
…Maybe it wasn’t the right thing to do. Maybe I should have taken her home properly.
But…even so, I couldn’t bear to leave Nanamori alone with that sad expression on her face.

“Here. Milk tea.”
“Thank you.”
After we got home, I handed Nanamori a mug of milk tea as she sat on the sofa.
She took it, held it to warm her hands, and carefully brought the rim of the cup to her lips.
“It’s delicious…”
When Nanamori finally showed a relieved expression, I let out a sigh of relief.
“Are you calm now?”
“Yes. Thank you. This is delicious.”
“Yeah, it’s good, isn’t it? It’s instant, though.”
It was just powder dissolved in hot water.
A young lady like Nanamori probably doesn’t drink this at home.
She drank about half of it and put the cup on the table.
“I’m sorry about earlier. That person is my father.”
“I know.”
“He told me not to play with Yagami kun anymore.”
“…Yeah.”
Don’t play with the opposite sex. What that means.
“But you don’t have to listen.”
“…Are you okay?”
“That person thinks I’ll do whatever he says.”
“…”
“You know, when I approached Yagami kun at the park earlier, it was because I was feeling down about that.”
Nanamori’s darkness. Her twisted desire to deny herself.
I heard a glimpse of that for the first time today.
But is that really all there is to it? Could it be that she…
“To my father, I’m just an accessory to the family. A convenient tool to maintain the family’s dignity and maintain connections with other noble families. That’s what I am.”
“…”
“I wanted to destroy that part of myself.”
What could I say to protect her heart? The same helplessness from earlier overwhelmed me again.
But Nanamori clung to me and said,
“….Hey, I don’t want to go home today.”
“But….”
Is that okay? I also want to stay with her longer. I want to keep Nanamori at home like this.
But is that really okay? Is that the right choice?
Won’t it lead to something bad?
That uncertainty prevents me from speaking.
Still.
“….!”
Without a word, I gently hugged her.
“Hey, kiss me.”
“…!”
And from the distance where our faces were about to collide, she said with tearful eyes.
The promise we made at the time of the contract. Nanamori’s proposal to save it for her lover.
We hadn’t done it since the reward.
But such things didn’t matter.
“Hmm…”
Responding to Nanamori’s expectations, I pressed my lips against hers.
“Hey, more.”
This time, she said it with a melting expression.
My mind went blank. It felt good. So good I couldn’t even tell what was good.
My brain felt like it was going to numb.
Every time we touched, we made sounds as we greedily sought each other’s lips.
“…!”
And then, something entered my mouth.
Realizing this, I responded by entwining my own with hers.
The lewd, seductive, humid slimy sounds once again stirred my lust.
“Haa haa haa…”
“Ah…”
The rough breathing makes my head feel like it’s going crazy with excitement.
We caress each other repeatedly, lost in the moment.
We gaze into each other’s eyes, gasping for breath, and Nanamori says,
“Make me yours…”
“…!”
I pressed my lips against Nanamori’s once more, shedding all our clothes, embracing each other in our bare skin.
True to her words, I made her mine, letting her cry out.
Over and over and over.
Filling the void in my heart, losing my mind, we sought each other’s pleasure, falling into the depths of ecstasy together to forget something.
