The Best Friend of the Person I Like is Secretly Approaching Me - Chapter 56

Chapter 56

Even after we finished eating the cake, the conversation among the three of us, including Akira-san, continued.

Akira-san asked about how Haru was doing at school and whether she was causing me any trouble.

‘What do you mean by causing trouble!’ Haru said, getting angry.

“She’s not a bother at all. Ah, but recently, I have been appointed as her educational supervisor.”

“Educational supervisor? Does that mean Haru-chan is being tutored by Ren-kun?”

“Ehehe, that’s right. Ren is teaching me math and physics!”

“Wow, that’s nice. But wait, wasn’t Haru-chan planning to go into the humanities? I get why math, but why are you also studying physics?”

“Ah, well, you see… uh…”

Seeing Haru struggle with her gaze upon receiving Akira-san’s question, I realized she hadn’t yet discussed her future plans with Akira-san.

Akira-san seemed to catch on too, smiling slyly and turning her gaze to me.

“By the way, Ren-kun, which field are you going into?”

“Oh, I’m going into the sciences.”

“I see-I see.”

Akira-san, having figured everything out, shifted to a teasing posture towards Haru.

“Haru-chan is so earnest.”

“Er, earnest? What do you mean!? I’m not like that!”

“Yes-yes. It’s okay, Mom understands.”

“Mom, don’t jump to conclusions on your own!”

“Well, Haru-chan is free to choose her own path~ Mom won’t stop you~ …But are you sure you won’t regret it?”

Akira-san’s piercing gaze fixed on Haru.

The previously relaxed atmosphere suddenly turned a bit more serious.

“…Yes. I’ve decided for myself. I definitely won’t regret it. Plus, I’ve found what I want to do.”

Haru met Akira-san’s eyes and answered clearly.

Then, Akira-san’s expression softened, and she murmured, ‘I see,’ before taking a sip of her coffee.

“Then do your best. Ren-kun, please take good care of this girl.”

“Yes. I’ll do my best to support Haru.”

“What a nice boyfriend. Haru-chan, you’re so lucky!”

“Ehehe. I’ll do my best, Mom!”

Despite usually being playful or joking around, this moment made it clear that Akira-san was truly Haru’s parent.

“Just a thought, you two are always at home together, but don’t you ever go out on dates? Oh, I don’t mind you coming to our house, though.”

Akira-san’s seemingly casual question struck me sharply.

I tried to read her expression, but it seemed she was just genuinely curious.

I had thought she might be suspecting that I was dating her daughter for physical reasons, but that didn’t seem to be the case.

However, I couldn’t deny that our relationship could be seen that way.

“Uh, well, that is…”

Haru, too, seemed to have her own thoughts and couldn’t answer Akira-san’s question.

Taking a gamble, I said,

“Yes. We used to go out together before, but we’ve sort of run out of places to go. The Hinata household is so comfortable, and that’s why we’ve been a bit spoiled by Akira-san’s kindness. But we were just talking about going out tomorrow for the first time in a while. Right, Haru?”

“Uh… yes!”

Haru somehow managed to go along with my improvisation.

Then Akira-san smiled and said, “That’s nice,” clasping her hands together.

“But as I said earlier, you’re always welcome to come here. I want to see Ren-kun too!”

“Ahaha, thank you very much.”

“…Ren, are you coming to my house just to see my mom?”

“No-no, that’s just a polite thing to say.”

“I see… our relationship is just something superficial…”

“Akira-san, don’t join in on her mischief.”

As I retorted, Akira-san stuck out her tongue playfully.

She looks so young that the gesture doesn’t seem harsh at all.

If my mom did that… what, why did I even imagine that?

“Ren, don’t get all lovey-dovey with my mom.”

Then, the not-so-playful daughter beside me puffed up her cheeks.

Haru’s gesture prompted Akira-san to start clicking away with her camera again.

Perhaps because Akira-san was teasing too much, Haru stood up, saying, ‘I’m going to my room now!’ then she grabbed my arm as if dragging me to her room.

***

Every house has its unique scent, and the Hinata household is no exception.

However, it’s intriguing that Haru’s room has Haru’s own scent.

I really like this citrus fragrance, and just being in this room makes me a bit happy.

It’s been a while since I last visited this room, but it doesn’t seem to have changed much.

As I’m thinking this, I feel a weight on my body. It was Haru who hugged me.

Haru, still in that position, looks up and asks me.

“Did Ren come to see Mom?”

“You’re still saying that? I came today to hang out with Haru.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

“…Then hug me too. Tightly.”

Just as Haru asked, I hugged her back.

Her body seems so fragile that hugging her too tightly might break her. Yet, not hugging her firmly enough also feels like she might crumble.

Looking at Haru’s melting expression in my arms, I can feel her genuine affection for me.

I should have recognized this expression before, but I couldn’t——I excuse myself, thinking that understanding someone else’s feelings is not always easy.

“…Thanks for earlier. I couldn’t answer Mom’s question.”

Ah, Akira-san’s question… about us not dating outside?

“Well, I understand why Haru hesitated to answer. Anyway, is there anywhere you want to go?”

“Ah…? Wasn’t that just a lie for the moment?… You’ll go out with me tomorrow?”

“Yeah, let’s have a date. It’s our second date.”

“Ren! Ren. Ren. Ren. Ren…”

Haru rubs her cheek against my body, calling my name over and over.

She’s so precious to me that I find myself hugging her even tighter.

Naturally, our bodies are increasingly getting closer to each other, and we are touching each other more and more.

Haru presses her chest against me, and her favorite scent tickles my nostrils.

Moreover, Haru is someone with whom I’ve been intimate with several times.

“…Ah”

Once it got to that point, it was inevitable that a part of my body would react, and it was no surprise that she noticed it.

“Ehehe. Ren, you’ve become excited, huh?”

Contrary to her adorable laugh, Haru wears a bewitching smile.

“It’s my fault, isn’t it? It happened because I was touching your body, so I should take care of it. Right?”

As Haru started to move her hand, I stopped her.

“Haru. Akira-san is downstairs, so let’s not do this, okay?”

“It’s okay. I’ll work hard so she won’t notice.”

Her hand didn’t stop, proceeding to lower my pants and then my underwear. I didn’t stop her, watching the scene unfold.

Perhaps deep down, I was expecting something like this too.

As she undressed me, Haru spoke.

“I studied, you know. How to make a man feel better and how to please Ren with these grown bre*sts. Fuu-chan from ‘Torupani’ was pressing her chest against the protagonist’s face due to some trouble, but there are better ways to please Ren. It’s like this——”

At that moment, Haru’s beautiful form enveloped a part of me.
It felt fluffy and yet warm.

I was enveloped in a strange sense of comfort, and then she started moving, sending waves of stimulation to my body.

“How is it, Ren? Does it feel good?”

Honestly, the stimulation was less than usual. But the excitement I get visually is extraordinary.

Additionally, seeing Haru working so hard for me fills me with affection, and my body grows even more heated.

“…yeah, it feels good.”

“Really? Do you like this?”

“I like it.”

“…Do you like me?”

“I like you.”

“Ren. Ren. Ren. I like you too. I really like you. Ren, I really like you——”

Her movements grew more intense, and then the moment ‘came’.

I quickly covered it with my hand to avoid making a mess on her or the room, so my hand got dirty instead.

“Sorry, Haru. Could you get some tissue?”

“Um… Hey, Ren.”

“That’s not okay.”

“…Why? I want proof inside me that my body belongs to Ren.”

“…Does that mean we don’t have to kiss?”

“No way! I want to kiss. Will you do it?”

“After I wipe this off and clean my hands.”

Saying that, Haru quickly brought over a tissue box and wet wipes from a nearby table.

Then she looked into my eyes, almost pleadingly.

Her expression was like that of an eager puppy.

After cleaning my hands, I pressed my lips to Haru’s, who had been eagerly waiting.

Then Haru’s hand came around the back of my head, held me tightly, and her tongue entered my mouth.

Her movements were awkward.

Without knowing how to do it, she moved instinctively, but it seemed as if there was some intention like she was competing against something.

This made it all the more adorable, and I moved my tongue to welcome hers.

—Haru’s body shivered in response.

After a while, the breathless Haru pulled away from me.

Just as I thought she might be satisfied, she started taking off her lower clothing.

“Haru, I told you we can’t do this.”

“It’s too late, I can’t stop now. Hey, Ren…please cool down the heat in my body…”

“But Akira-san is downstairs…”

As I tried to make the same excuse, a voice came from downstairs.

“Haru-chan! Mom’s going out for a bit, so please look after the house with Ren-kun!”

Hearing Akira-san’s voice, whether the timing was good or bad, Haru laughed.

“Ren. You’re actually hoping for it, aren’t you?”

“…why would you think that?”

“Because, in your bag, it’s there, right?”

Haru’s gaze was directed at my bag, which indeed contained ‘that’——contraceptives.

“How did you know?”

“Because I can tell. You’ve been glancing at your bag since a while ago… you want to do it too, right?”

That is… of course, I want it. I want to feel her body again.

This urge has been gnawing at me.

“Okay, let’s do it. After all, you’re my boyfriend today.”

Saying this, Haru looked into my eyes with heated eyes.

“My body, make it yours, Ren.”

“…No, let’s not do it today.”

For a moment, I almost gave in to my desires, but I managed to restrain myself.

“Why? You don’t want to do it with me anymore? Are you tired of me? Ren, please don’t leave me. I’ll do anything. I’ve studied a lot. I can do anything you want. I didn’t prepare today, but I’ll even try cosplay, so please, Ren.”

As Haru tearfully pleaded at me, I stared at her with a heavy heart.

What can I do for her right now?

Maybe just hugging her won’t be enough. Her current instability seems to stem because she thinks she is not wanted.

For now, I decided to——

“Ren——ah!”

Ignoring Haru’s soft moan, I pressed my lips to her chest and sucked strongly and for a long time, using all the strength I could muster.

After continuing this for several seconds and pulling away, a mark had formed where there hadn’t been one before.

Finally, Haru looked at the mark on her body with a blissful expression.

“Ehehehehehe. A hickey. Ren gave me a hickey. This means I belong to Ren, right!?”

“Yeah, I guess.”

“I’m happy, so happy. I belong to Ren, and this is the proof. …Hey, Ren. Just one isn’t enough. I need more proof that I belong to you…”

As Haru wished, I left several more hickeys on her body.

When I had put more than I could count on one hand, Haru looked satisfied.

Satisfied with each other, we got dressed again.

Then Haru pointed at my bag and said,

“Can I keep that?”

“I don’t mind, but Akira-san might find out.”

“Right, but I want to keep it. No?”

Seeing no reason to refuse and thinking she must have her own reasons, I handed it over to her.

Then she stares at the box now in her hands with vacant eyes.
