The Issue With Her Arrow Pointing at Me Being Way Too Big
โโฆMom, I’m heading out.โ
โOkay~, have a good trip~! Make sure to tell me when things start looking up~!โ
Shut up!!
Friday rolled around, and just as I was packing my bags to leave the house, this happenedโฆ Even though I hadn’t told her anything about Ayaka, Mom acted like she knew everything.
โโฆHaa, my mom really is a noisy person.โ
โHey, that’s a bit harsh, don’t you think? Well, it just means she loves her son that much! See ya~!โ
โฆShe really is noisy.
But being raised by a mom like that all this time, I ended up turning out like thisโฆ I don’t hate it at all. I’m actually glad to be Mom and Dad’s son.
โAlright then, gotta get moving.โ
My steps leaving the houseโฆ well, they were light.
It was evening, so it was getting dark, but I already knew every inch of these streetsโฆ what was where, what time the old folks from the neighborhood went for their walks.
โโฆI wonder how this is gonna turn out.โ
Can I be honest?
I’m reallyโฆ really hoping for something, you know? Like, expecting all kinds of sexy events to happen.
Ayaka and I aren’t datingโฆ but still, a man and a woman under the same roofโฆ wouldn’t it be rude not to have some naughty thoughts?
โโฆI’m getting nervous.โ
Just fantasizing is free, but I kinda want to experience it for real tooโฆ
With those expectations in mind, I made my way there. Just as I were about to arrive at Ayaka’s place, I unexpectedly ran into someone.
โโฆAh.โ
It was Tokui.
Unlike me, who’d gone home first to change, Tokui was still in his school uniformโprobably because he’d been out somewhere.
What a terrible place to run into himโฆ Wait, why do I feel this way? Do I actually dislike Tokui?ใI thought that, but then I switched gears, figuring I didn’t need to hold back around him. The moment I did, I cared even less about Tokui than usual.
โโฆโฆโฆโฆโฆโ
It wasn’t like we needed to exchange words.
I tried to walk past him in silence, but Tokui spoke up.
โWhyโฆ why are you here?โ
โโฆHuh?โ
Umโฆ sorry, I just froze up in surprise.
Sure, this is the first time I’ve run into Tokui around hereโฆ but that doesn’t give him any right to comment on where anyone is.
โIt’s none of your business where I am, okay? This isn’t your backyard or anything.โ
“โฆ People around here get scared when someone like you shows up!ใAndโฆ Ayaka would be scared too!”
โโฆIf you say she’d be scared, I guess you’re right. But even so, you’ve got no right to say that to me?โ
This guyโฆ He’s really a pain in the ass.
Butโฆ I disliked myself a little in that momentโbecause the place I was heading to was the home of his cherished childhood friend, and I was going to spend the night with her. Thinking that, I felt a sense of superiority.
(Iโฆ)
Wellโฆ I guess I have to admit it.
I thoughtโฆ that if a guy like this is going to be near Ayakaโฆ I want to be the one near herโฆ Not that I want to mess with this annoying guy or anything, but I seriously thought about taking Ayaka somewhere he couldn’t reach herโฆ
โIfโฆ if you do anything to Ayaka, I won’t forgive you, got it?โ
โOh? What exactly won’t you forgive me for?โ
I should’ve just let it goโฆ but I’m still a kid, and when someone picks a fight with me for no reason, it just pisses me off.
Rule number one: Make him understand with a glare.
Putting that into practice, Tokui took a step back like he was scared shitless, then turned his back and walked away.
โโฆWhat the hellโฆ Seriously though, even if you ignore how I look, isn’t that way of talking just plain awful?โ
Conclusion: Before even getting annoyed, it’s fine to just recognize that guy as a total jerk, right?
Just to be sure, I glanced back, but Tokui was already gone. After checking behind me a few more times, I headed to Ayaka’s houseโฆ and finally arrived.
I rang the doorbell. Soon after, the door opened, revealing Ayaka in a completely off-duty stateโฆ wearing revealing, borderline-inappropriate casual clothes.
โWelcome, Amato-kun.โ
โOh, uhโฆโ
โPlease, come in?โ
โโฆExcuse me for intruding.โ
Ayaka’s houseโฆ My first time here.
I was acutely aware of how tense and stiff I was, but the atmosphere inside felt warmโฆ Warm enough that I could imagine how lovely it must be normally, with her parents here too.
โโฆโฆโฆโฆโฆโ
But seriously, in the middle of that warm sceneโฆ Ayaka’s hips swayed back and forth.
Her full chest, firm thighsโฆ it was definitely a feast for the eyes, but being here for the first time only amplified my nerves.
Invited to her houseโฆ wondering what would happen, my heart swelling with anticipation, I headed to Ayaka’s room.
โThis is my room.โ
โโฆGot it.โ
The room she led me to was very neat.
True to her claim of loving manga, anime posters hung on the walls, and her bookshelves were packed solid with manga volumesโฆ Of course, there were plenty of textbooks and study materials too, but it felt like a room that could only belong to Ayaka.
โYou can put your stuff over there.โ
โAhโฆ Wait, am I supposed to sleep here?โ
โHuh? Yeah, why not?โ
What are you saying? She looked at me like that.
Her bed was set up, and a futon was folded in the corner, so I’d suspected itโฆ but we’d be sleeping in the same room?
My nerves, already high, swelled even more.
This intense tension, unlike anything I’d felt before, was so overwhelming I realized how uncharacteristically quiet I’d becomeโฆ But then, Ayaka threw her arms around me.
โAh, Ayakaโฆ!?โ
โWe’re alone here, you know. Just relax your shouldersโฆ okay?โ
โโฆHow am I supposed to relax like this?โ
โI guess you’re rightโฆ But I like you when you’re nervous, Amato-kun.โ
She pressed herself even closer to me.
The sensation of her breasts squashed against my chest and the sweet scent nearly made my head spinโฆ but I managed to hold myself together.
Or rather, normally, she wouldn’t go this farโฆ Does Ayaka truly hold special feelings for me?
โOf course, I had a reason for calling you today, Amato-kunโฆ It’s true I wanted to spend time with youโฆ But most of all, I wanted you to be much more conscious of me than you are nowโฆ Because I want to be yours.โ
โTh-thatโฆโ
โThat means I feel about youโโ
The decisive words were about to come outโฆ
But then, the intercom rang, signaling a visitor.
โโฆโฆโฆโฆโฆโ
I let out a sigh, but Ayaka’s expression was far too aggressive.
Clearly annoyed by this visitor, she sighed, took my hand, and led me toward the front doorโฆ and thenโ
โWho is it?โ
โAyaka, it’s me.โ
Beyond the entrance, Tokui’s voice came through the door.
โWhy is Makotoโฆ?โ
โWellโฆ you’re alone today, right? Soโโ
I distinctly heard Ayaka click her tongue.
