Episode 17 – Knee lap on a female friend

I Saw My Female Friend, a Beautiful and Neat Girl, Holding a Romance Book Titled “How to Get Your Male Friend to Like You” and Decided to Give Advice on Love~ In Fact, the Guy She Likes Seems to Be Me!?~

Be cool, me ……!

It is true that the act being done to me may fall under the category of what you can call a knee pillow, but this is just something that Hizakura is doing for me because she is worried about my condition.

Since there are no pillows in the kitchen or living room, I am not convinced that she is just giving me a knee pillow as a substitute ────!

“Hi, Hizakura ……? Just for the record, do you understand what you are doing right now?”

“Kneelap right? Usually you are looking down, but now you are on my lap, and it’s kind of fresh.”

First of all, now is definitely not the time to be worrying about whether or not it’s fresh, and if it wasn’t fresh, that would be just as strange.

Even though I was thinking that, I wasn’t feeling unwell in the first place, so I told Hizakura about it.

“Hizakura, I’m really not sick.”

“Then why were you blushing earlier?”

“……”

This is the ultimate choice.

I can honestly answer why my face was red and feel incredibly embarrassed by saying that I was embarrassed by the close proximity of Hizakura’s body, but instead I can either break free of the knee lap ──── or I can hide the reason why my face was red and continue with the knee lap and taste an act that makes me feel a little embarrassed.

…… either way, it doesn’t seem like it would be a good choice for me.

However, if I think about it, if I tell my female friend that I’m embarrassed because of the close proximity of my body to hers, it’s usually a very uncomfortable thing to do. …… However, I don’t feel comfortable lying about my health condition and letting her worry

After much deliberation, I came up with this answer────

“Hizakura, it’s embarrassing to be on your knees, so can’t you give me a little more rest in a different way?”

That’s what I said.

This would not only hide the reason why my face was red, but also allow me to get out of the lap pillow.

I was impressed that I had thought of this on the spur of the moment, when Hizakura said

“Kanzaki-kun, you think it’s embarrassing to be on my knees, don’t you?”

“…… Eh?”

“No, I’m sorry, that was a weird thing to say,…… but I thought you’d be embarrassed by the knee lap.”

──── unexpected cut.

I thought that at least I would not be embarrassed by the words I said, but when …… they were recited again, I felt somewhat embarrassed.

I said this to cover up the embarrassment.

“Nothing, I’m not that embarrassed.”

“Really? Then it’s okay to leave it like this, right?”

Saying this, Hizakura lightly stroked my hair.

At this point, I realized that I had completely screwed up.

Then, after accepting to be knee lap until Hizakura was satisfied, Hizakura opened her mouth.

“It’s strange that I’ve never had a boy friend before, and now I’m knee lapping for you, Kanzaki-kun.”

“…… I guess so.”

I was a little embarrassed when someone mentioned that I was being kept on her knees, but I somehow managed to hold it in and reply.

“I want to do more things for you,…… kanzaki-kun.”

“I’m starting to learn how to cook today, and that’s enough for me.”

“No, it’s not like that, …… more ────.”

Hizakura blushed as she tried to say something.

…I was probably blushing just now because Hizakura had my body in close contact with me, but it probably wasn’t as red as Hizakura’s face right now.

“Hizakura, Your face is red, what’s wrong?”

“…… yeah, what’s wrong”

“Eh?”

I raised my body involuntarily at her comment, and Hizakura said

“Hey, Kanzaki-kun,…… I also think I want you to give me a knee pillow, is that okay?”

For a moment I almost let out a bewildered sound, but I felt that it was certainly unfair that I was given a knee pillow when my face turned red, but not when Hizakura’s face turned red, so I said without letting out that bewildered sound.

“Okay,…… then, tell me anytime you want me to stop when you are at full strenght”

“…… you’ll knee lap me all the time until I say I’m at full strength?”

“…… yeah.”

“I-I see …… that makes me happy.”

I sat back down firmly on the couch, and this time Hizakura put her head on my lap and I was to knee lap Hizakura.

Then I look at Himizakura on my lap and think…… was Hizakura ever so cute before?

It’s not necessarily because of her appearance; it’s true that she looks different from usual since she’s wearing casual clothes, but that doesn’t change the absolute charm of Hizakura’s appearance.
　
If it is ……, why did I think that?

I thought about it as I kneeled over Hizakura, but even that thought didn’t matter when I was looking at her, and for now I decided to just enjoy this time together.
