The Best Friend of the Person I Like is Secretly Approaching Me - Chapter 80

Chapter 80

I sit on the bed as my mind gradually returns to calm after I do it with Misa,

I don’t regret the act itself, but I’m sweating bullets over the fact that we did it without protection.

I should have at least put it on even if the hotel’s provided stuff is rumored to be risky.

I spoke to Misa who was lying down on the bed and resting.

“Hey, Misa. Are you really sure it was okay?”

“Yeah, it should be fine. It seems like you left it outside after all.”

“O-of course.”

I’m bewildered as she says so with a hint of dissatisfaction.

“Don’t get me wrong. It’s not like I’m drinking it for that purpose… I had a heavy period, so I went to the doctor and got a prescription. The medicine happens to be the same as the one used for that purpose.”

“O-oh, is that so?”

I don’t have any sisters, so I’m really clueless about these things.

To be honest, I wouldn’t know even if she lied to me right now. Still, I can’t imagine her lying about this.

“What if I said it was a lie?”

“W-What!? Seriously!? What should we do… I mean, I’ll take responsibility, but, uh…”

“…Fufu, it’s true. I’m sorry, that was a bad joke.”

“Seriously, that black joke was too far…”

“But I’m glad you’re willing to take responsibility.”

“…well I guess. It’s also my fault because I got carried away and attacked Misa… If it comes down to it, the responsibility is all mine.”

Warmth and weight were added to my back as I said that. Misa had woken up and was hugging me.

“You’re so kind, Rento-kun. I’ve always known that.”

“…I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“The only variation you have in playing dumb is that one, and I find it adorable… I love it. You did it for me, right? You attacked me to prevent me from using that video and audio to threaten you.”

“…I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“…Fufu. Rento-kun, I like you, I love you, I adore you. So let me explain everything you did for me…”

“That’s… how should I put it.. It’s a little embarrassing. No, maybe it’s like torture.”

“I love it when you’re embarrassed too.”

That means… there’s no way out? I understand. I’ll stop pointlessly resisting

“I was going to say, ‘You’ll have to sleep with me if you want that video’, but you anticipated that and attacked me before I could say it because you couldn’t stand the thought of my first time being the result of coercion and using a video for my best friend as bait at that. You attacked me because you couldn’t allow that to happen, right?”

“…No, that’s not it. I was just overwhelmed by Misa’s charm and couldn’t control myself.”

“Oh? Even though you didn’t fall for my temptations yesterday?”

“The atmosphere in this room got to me.”

“…Fufu. Alright, let’s say that’s the case. The meaning behind your actions would be lost otherwise, wouldn’t it?”

“It feels like the meaning is already lost after all this explanation…”

“No, that’s not true… I was happy. I understood the reason behind your actions, but it’s also true you desired me earlier. You only looked at me… and while I thought that the first time was just a ‘beginning’, now I know that it was something very precious. So thank you, Rento-kun.”

“…I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Fufu, cute. I love you.”

Saying that, she kissed me on the cheek.

Despite the deep kisses we had shared before, this light kiss now felt incredibly embarrassing.

“Rento-kun, I have a favor to ask. I think there’s some water in the fridge over there, could you get it for me?”

“Hm? Ah—sure.”

Misa pointed, and there was a small refrigerator.

When staying at a business hotel, it’s common to find bottles of water offered as a service, but I wondered if this hotel also offered something similar.

I got up from the bed and walked over to the fridge, then opened the door.

“…Hmm?”

What was inside was not what I expected. It was kind of like a vending machine with various products lined up.

Among them was——

“Wha——”

A brand new box of something I thought wouldn’t be in this room.

“Fufu.”

Her cheerful voice could be heard from behind. When I turned around, she was approaching with a smile.

“Actually, there are vending machines of this sort in this kind of hotel. And inside them, there are items for… doing such things. Of course they have contraceptives.”

“Did you know this Misa? Then why didn’t you tell me?”

“Fufu. Because the first time is important, right? The one who taught me that wasn’t Rento-kun… but I wanted to make my first time special——and to surpass her.”

I felt moved at her words for some reason.

I didn’t know why, but the girl smiling before me now was shining brightly——she was very beautiful.

“I’ve learned a lot through this incident. The importance of the first time…. That you are truly kind… and…”

She flashed a mischievous smile and stretched out her arm—and pressed the button for the location of ‘that’.

In other words, she purchased a contraceptive.

“…Huh?”

“I did a lot of research before coming here. Not just about the hotel but also about what to be careful of during s*x. They say the first time can be painful, and it can even become a trauma for some people… but I felt really good…”

“I-is that so? That’s good.”

“There was no pain at all, not before and not now. I feel like I could go for a second round right away.”

“…Hm?”

“Also… I noticed that your face looks really cute when you’re contorted with pleasure while we’re doing it.”

“Huh?”

“Welcome, Rento-kun. I’ll be on top this time. I want to see more of your cute self.”

“E-eh, M-Misa-san?”

“It would still be dangerous even though I say I’m taking medicine. So let’s make sure to use this properly from now on, okay?”

“Misa-saaan?”

“Do you still want to humiliate me? Come here, Rento-kun.”

“Ah.”

“Fufu, my first time isn’t over yet.”

She lovingly cared for me after that. A first time really leaves a strong impression.

I feel like I’ve awakened something that shouldn’t have been awakened——

——But looking at her smile, I have no regrets.

***

We left the hotel and walked to the station.

It’s already dark outside, and the lights in the izakayas (JP Pub) are lit, giving off a real adult city vibe.

I can’t help but think that we, too, were just in an adult facility.

Maybe that’s the reason there was a slightly awkward atmosphere between us.

“Hey-hey, Rento-kun.”

“Yes! Is there something wrong?”

“Fufu, why are you speaking so formally?”

“Uh, I’ve just been feeling strangely nervous since a while ago…”

“Me too. It’s weird, isn’t it? To feel embarrassed like this after we’ve shown each other everything about ourselves…”

Misa’s cheeks were tinged with a faint blush as she said this.

“So… about that file, is it okay if I keep it?”

“Sure. As long as you submit it with me.”

“Do you trust me?”

“Well, it’s you Misa… and it’s also for Hinata’s sake. You were planning to submit it from the beginning, right? Even if I refused you again.”

“…Aren’t you overestimating me?”

“I’m the guy who’s been discovering and shouting about Misa’s charms for over a year. There’s no way I could be wrong about you.”

“…That’s unfair. Really, Rento-kun, you’re something else.”

“That’s just the kind of guy I am.”

“Fufu, I knew that… But then, why did you accept me?”

“…I certainly felt that if I kept refusing, I might end up hurting Misa. If I was a guy who could keep his sanity after being approached by the person he’s always liked in such a place… well, I wouldn’t be in this situation now, I mean──Hmm!?”

Before I knew it, Misa grabbed my shoulders, forcefully turned me towards her and kissed me.

I could hear whistles of Whoo!’ from the people around us.

“Mi-Misa-san? We’re outside, you know?”

“I can’t help it. It’s all Rento-kun’s fault.”

“Even if you say that, I was just answering your question…”

“Rento-kun, why don’t we go back to that place now?”

“A-ah… you see, there’s school tomorrow.”

“Oh. Would it have been okay if tomorrow was a day off?”

“…I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Fufu, you’re so cute Rento-kun. I’d like to stay with you until tomorrow, but I have to go home soon or my parents will get angry. Let’s call it a day for now.”

Looking at Misa with her bewitching eyes, I was convinced that I had indeed awakened something in her that should not have been awakened.

“Even so, I didn’t expect that mark to still be there.”

“I guess it’s natural that they’ll remain after being done that so hard.”

“Fufu, I’m sorry. But I felt happy when I saw it like it was proof that Rento-kun belonged to me. Let me leave another one when it fades, okay?”

“Keep it in moderation. That actually hurts quite a bit.”

“I even like your face when it’s contorted with pain.”

“You’re opening a door that shouldn’t be opened!”

“Fufu, just kidding. Don’t take it seriously. Your body is mine after all, so I’ll take good care of it. Always.”
