The Salty Princess Told Me That I Was a ‘Convenient Keep’, so I Tested What Would Happen if I Introduced the Most Beautiful Girl at Another School as My Girlfriend
“I’m sorry for all the trouble I caused you today, okay? Not only did I have to borrow clothes and showers and stuff, but I had to stay here suddenly. ……, and also the things you did in the bathroom.”
Saying this, I bowed towards Koga-san, who sat a little further away from me. Koga-san, with her cheeks still a little red, shakes her head and tells me not to worry about it.
“It’s fine, it’s fine, you don’t have to apologise. In the first place, it’s because I told Amaneko-senpai about Ochiha-kun that he ended up teaching her football. And that thing in the bathroom was …… Mimiko’s fault, so Ochiba-kun doesn’t need to apologise.”
“If you say so, I appreciate it, but ……”
Well, let’s not remember what happened in the bathroom anymore. That’s a memory that rubs my heart out just by recalling it. I meditate and erase the memory. I can’t do such a robotic thing ……, of course, but for now I’ll just say that I’ve erased it.
Koga cleared her throat lightly and tucked a strand of her beautiful chestnut hair behind her ear.
“More importantly, I’m sorry for all the trouble I’ve caused you. I suddenly asked you to stay the night even though you had school tomorrow, and that was a bit of a hassle, wasn’t it?”
“No, it’s not like that. To be honest, I was just thinking that it would be troublesome to go home in the rain like this.”
“Really? Well, then I’m glad.”
“………..”
“…………….”
And then silence for a while. Only the sound of heavy rain echoes in the quiet living room. Perhaps because of the earlier change of clothes, both Koga-san and I are a little awkward.
By the way, Mimiko-chan, who started it all, said something like “The rest is up to you two younglings” and went back to her room. That girl is really free-spirited. …Although I don’t particularly want to emulate her.
“Hey, Ochiha-kun. Wanna play a game together for the first time in a while?”
Koga-san must have found the long silence awkward, as she leaned forward and put both hands on the sofa. Maybe because she’d just gotten out of the bath, the nice smell of shampoo was floating around, and I couldn’t help but look away.
“…. game, huh? Come to think of it, we used to play it together a lot, didn’t we?”
“Yes. So I was wondering if you don’t …… like it?”
“I don’t hate it. I want to play games with Koga-san for the first time in a long time.”
“Really? Then, let’s go to my room!”
Koga-san pulls my arm and stands up. Her soft breasts are brushing against my arm again, but if I get upset about something like this, there’ll be no end to it. I pretend to remain as calm as possible and follow Koga-san’s back.
We go up the stairs and into the back room. It’s Koga-san’s room, a room I remember coming over to play in the past several times.
“….. Sorry to disturb you.”
I mutter a few words to her and ask her to let me up to her room. The location of the …… room had not changed from the old days, but its interior was completely different from the old days. There used to be games, manga and other things so scattered that there was nowhere to step, but now they are neatly stored away on shelves.
There is also a small dressing table and pretty cushions, which were not there in the past. Even the curtains have been changed to something with a chic atmosphere, unlike the old days.
The aroma diffuser on the table has a nice citrus scent wafting through the air.
“Come on, Ochiha-kun, sit there.”
“Ah, yes. Excuse me.”
When Koga saw me try to sit down as instructed, she laughed for some reason.
“Haha, Ochiba, you seem a bit stiff. There’s no need to be so nervous.”
“No, it’s not that I’m nervous, it’s just that Koga-san’s room is so stylish and cute, I didn’t know what to do. ……”
“Really? I don’t think it’s that unusual… but thanks. I’m happy to hear you say that, Ochiha-kun.”
Koga-san laughs. Not knowing what expression to make, I avert my eyes and sit down on the round cushion.
“So, what games do you play? I’ve been playing FPS lately, but it’s not the kind of game you and I would play together, is it?”
“Well, sure. I’ve never played FPS at all, and I might be dragging Koga-san down.”
“Is that so? Ochiha-kun, don’t you play games much anymore?”
“Well, I wasn’t really busy, but I did have a lot to do. I did play darts and billiards a little bit.”
“Wow, Ochiha-kun. When did you get so fashionable? Teach me about it next time.”
Koga-san tapped me on the shoulder with a look of amusement. …Relieved. The awkward atmosphere from earlier finally eased.
“Well, I was just trying to look cool, so I don’t think I could teach you anything.”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah. I quit …… football and was looking for something to replace it. Now I think I was spinning my wheels……”
I had always believed that since I had quit soccer, I had to find something to replace it. If I didn’t prove my worth, no one would like me.
So I did a lot of meaningless things. I thought I was proving my worth by doing all-out karaoke with people I didn’t really get on with, and eating ramen on the way home.
…… Well, I don’t do that kind of thing much anymore since I started dating Sakaki-san.
“Ochiha-kun, your desire to be cool hasn’t changed, has it? That kind of thing, it’s kind of …… cute.”
I’ve been thinking about it, and Koga-san looks at me with a teasing expression and laughs. I jokingly replied with an exaggerated gesture to deceive her.
“All men want to be cool. They buy guitars they don’t know how to play, they read difficult philosophy books to show off their skills, they put wax on their hair the wrong way and it gets all sticky. You accumulate experiences like that and grow up.”
“That’s right. We’re an all-girls school, so I don’t really know much about what boys are thinking. But I can kind of understand why Ochiha-kun is popular.”
“….I’m not really popular”
“But you’ve at least been confessed to, haven’t you?”
“Of course, that’s about the same for you, Koga-san. ……”
“I’ve never had that experience.”
Koga glared at me with a dirty look. It seemed like I’d said something I shouldn’t have. I’d finally managed to ease the awkward atmosphere, but it’d gotten weird again.
I scratched my head lightly with my idle hand and reached out towards the shelf in front of Koga where all the video games were lined up.
“…..Besides that, what game do you want to play? I’ve not played this racing game for a long time…”
Then, suddenly, a loud noise rang out, and I involuntarily closed my mouth.
A thunderbolt interrupted my words. Is the distance between us quite close? It’s a nasty sound that shakes you to the core. It’s not that I don’t like thunder, but I’m a little startled.
“Koga-san, are you alright? ……, Koga-san ……?”
The game software is in her hands, and Koga-san has frozen up. Was she that surprised?
“Whoa!”
There, the thunder rumbles again. This time it was closer than before, a loud noise that shook the whole house. Koga-san, who dropped the game software, is hugging me.
“.. Maybe you’re not good at thunder, Koga-san?”
I say this to Koga-san, who has buried her face in my chest. Koga-san opens her mouth with a small voice, as if to cover up her embarrassment.
“…….. Actually, I’m not very good at it.”
“I see. Your reaction reminds me of the dog my grandpa had who was scared of thunder… Ouch. Sorry, sorry, I was just kidding, so don’t pinch me.”
Koga-san’s body is trembling slightly as she hugs me.
“.. Ochiha-kun, are you fine with thunder?”
“I’m fine. I don’t really like loud noises, though.”
Because it reminds me of the time when my father used to shout at me.
“I see. Then I’m glad…”
Koga’s arms tightened as she hugged me. Her large chest was crushed against mine. I could feel her heart beating.
“…. Ochiha-kun, are you sure you’re alright? It seems like there’s some kind of force in your body, …….”
“No, it’s …… that. It’s not because of the lightning, it’s because Koga-san’s …… chest is hitting me.’
“…… Ochiha-kun, you’ve always liked big tits, haven’t you? Does it bother you that much? This.”
Koga-san presses her large breasts against my body as if to show off. I’m confused by the feeling, which I can’t get used to no matter how many times I touch her, but I reply in as even a voice as I can.
“It’s not that I’m worried, but rather that I instinctively find it intriguing. I think that’s probably how all men are.”
“I see. Well, that’s fine though… If it’s Ochihaa-kun, then I don’t mind. It would be much more painful for me if you avoided me for that reason.”
Thunder rumbles again and Koga’s arms tighten.
A soft, warm feeling. Because she had her face buried in my chest, I couldn’t see her expression. But the sound of her heartbeat was as loud as the rain outside, and I could tell she was nervous. And maybe my heartbeat was being transmitted to Koga as well.
Somehow, the atmosphere was no longer like playing a game; it was more like a game of ‘I’m sorry, I’m falling’.
“….. sorry, Ochiha-kun.”
mutters Koga-san in a whispery little voice.
“What was that about?”
I reply in as gentle a voice as possible.
“I only act spoiled when it’s convenient for me. I know that Ochiha-kun can’t refuse, so I hug you like this.”
“It’s fine. I won’t get angry about something like that. If anything, Koga-san’s breasts are touching me, so it’s a perk for me too.”
“… Do you really feel that way about me?”
“I think so, I think so. I wouldn’t lie.”
“In that case, you can touch me some more. You can do whatever you want, Ochiha-kun, so… I want you to stay by my side.”
Koga-san lifts her face. Her cheeks are slightly flushed. Her eyes are moist. Her lips are smooth. She really is a completely different person, so beautiful.
But it is precisely because she has become beautiful that I am a little hesitant. All beautiful things are fragile. I didn’t want to do anything that would destroy her beauty by touching her in a bad way.
“‘……!”
Then the thunder rumbles again and the lights in the room go out. Had the power gone out? I try to stand up to check the situation, but I can’t move well because Koga-san is still hugging me.
“………..”
A dark room. The echoing sound of rain. A nice citrusy scent wafting from the aroma diffuser. And the warm, soft body of Koga-san.
For some reason, my heart ached terribly. The reason for this is completely unknown to me, and I unintentionally hugged Koga-san’s back.
“……”
Koga-san’s body is momentarily strengthened. …… but the strength leaves her body as she immediately lets herself go. …… Koga-san and I meet eyes. In the pitch-dark room, yet, I certainly met her golden eyes.
“I …….”
Koga-san tries to say something, but swallows it halfway. Then she said in a very low voice, drowned out by the sound of the rain.
“You see, I betrayed you, Ochiha-kun. That’s why I’ve always wanted to apologize.”
With those words, my eyes met with a past I had forgotten. …… That’s right. It was raining heavily that day too, just like today.
