Yes, Meguri Shiromeguri had given up—given up struggling.
At heart she was actually a rather meek girl. Faced with another person's forcefulness, unless it touched on a serious matter of principle, she would generally just compromise.
And now Lin Ye was about to forcibly kiss her. She should have refused, but with the earlier confession, the declaration of love, and the threat as a foundation, she wavered.
Her resolve was no longer firm.
And faced with that unmistakable kissing motion,
even though this was her first kiss, after trying to flee and failing, she gave up the struggle.
At the very least, crying out loud for help—that was something she truly couldn't bring herself to do.
And Haruno lifted a triumphant smile, leaning in to kiss—landing on the girl's forehead.
Yes,
in the end, she still didn't kiss her on the lips.
Meguri was so cute, so innocent—she'd never even had a boyfriend. Better to leave her first kiss for Lin-kun!
That was what she thought.
Meguri Shiromeguri froze. The sensation on her forehead made her realize that Lin Ye had actually kissed her forehead, not her lips.
But Haruno reached out and ran her fingers across Meguri Shiromeguri's red lips, the electric-like sensation giving Meguri Shiromeguri a thrill she'd never felt before.
"President, so cute, so pretty."
"Student Lin, let go."
"You didn't even refuse, President,"
Haruno smiled. She leaned in again, planting two kisses on Meguri Shiromeguri's cheek, then gathered the girl into her arms and sat down on the President's chair.
In this moment,
Haruno was utterly content.
Back then she had done the very same—sitting in this seat, holding Meguri Shiromeguri, taking liberties with her.
Meguri Shiromeguri was very nervous, but since her lips hadn't been kissed, she relaxed slightly. At least the relationship wasn't progressing too quickly—Lin Ye still showed some restraint.
But,
the sensation that came next at her waist made her nerves tense up again, and then a warm breath blew against her ear, and she reacted.
"Mm…"
Without any reserve, Haruno bit down on Meguri Shiromeguri's delicate ear.
She knew it—she knew it well: this was Meguri's weak spot.
"Mmm, mmm…"
In no time, the tensed-up girl went soft, slumping limply in Haruno's arms.
Haruno felt refreshed and at ease.
This feeling—how many years had it been since she'd last experienced it?
After graduating from Sobu High, she'd never felt it again, and now at last she was experiencing it once more. Her heart felt thoroughly comfortable and exhilarated.
Haruno truly missed her old life at Sobu High. Her current university life was honestly utterly boring.
Even Haruno herself didn't notice that her hand had begun to roam restlessly, even going so far as to…
"Here… no,"
Meguri Shiromeguri suddenly came to her senses and clamped down hard on Haruno's hand as it crept toward her thigh.
Even now, she couldn't have imagined reaching this point with a man she wasn't all that familiar with—that physical contact could go this far.
She really couldn't make sense of it—only, right now there was no time for her to ponder the question.
Feeling that the hand didn't seem about to give up, Meguri Shiromeguri pressed harder and went on, "No, really, no, Student Lin,"
There was a thread of pleading in her voice now, hoping Lin Ye would let her off.
"Why?"
"It's too… too fast,"
said Meguri Shiromeguri.
Yes, it really was too fast—they hadn't even held hands, and he'd gone straight to feeling up her leg. No matter how you looked at it, it was too fast.
"Not fast at all! You call this fast?"
"Really, no,"
Meguri Shiromeguri held firm. If she didn't do something now, something even more intimate might happen next.
"But I want to, I like it. My dear girlfriend, can't you satisfy my little wish?"
Meguri Shiromeguri's face was flushed red, but the strength in her hands didn't weaken in the slightest. "I—I haven't even agreed to be your…"
"Oh!"
Haruno gave a soft hum and pushed harder, and this time the force was simply more than Meguri Shiromeguri could resist—even both her hands combined couldn't hold it back at all.
"Wait, mm, wait… I—I agree, I agree, just stop bullying me."
At last,
she compromised, gave up the struggle, and begged for mercy.
If it went any further, she really felt she'd come undone.
"That's more like it,"
Haruno was chuckling away inside without pause. Bullying Meguri felt really good—truly wonderful.
Soft, tender, and especially satisfying to tease.
"Tomorrow—does Meguri have time?"
"Uh,"
"Tomorrow after school, go on a date with me,"
Although she didn't know how long this Body Swap would last, nor whether there'd be another Body Swap tomorrow morning letting her use Lin Ye's body, the invitation still had to be made—Haruno wasn't about to hold back.
"…"
But Meguri Shiromeguri hesitated.
Going out alone—going out alone with Lin Ye—she was worried!
"President, relax, I won't eat you up."
Move both your hands off me first, then we'll talk!
Meguri Shiromeguri sighed inwardly.
"And if I did want to eat you up, President, could you refuse?"
"Yes,"
"Sis Haruno told me quite a lot, you know—including that one thing…"
Haruno whispered something more into Meguri Shiromeguri's ear—about something that had happened when she and Meguri once went out to have fun and stayed overnight.
"Sis Haruno even has photos,"
Meguri Shiromeguri's composure shattered.
Why—why would Sis Haruno tell Lin Ye something this secret?! It didn't make any sense!
Right now Meguri Shiromeguri wanted to go confront Haruno, but there simply wasn't time for that at the moment.
"So, President, can you refuse?"
The leisurely voice drifted in, and Haruno didn't forget to take advantage at the same time—one hand growing utterly unrestrained.
Though Meguri Shiromeguri kept pressing down, the resisting force had lessened a great deal, making it clear even to Haruno that Meguri Shiromeguri had already given up resisting.
She even felt that if she took Meguri Shiromeguri right here, the girl wouldn't resist strongly, but would only put up a half-hearted show of refusal.
"So, tomorrow's date,"
"All right,"
She agreed.
"Why not today?"
Meguri Shiromeguri asked in the end.
"This afternoon I've got a date with a cute little underclassman—it's all arranged. I can't very well stand her up, can I! I'm a good man who keeps his promises, after all,"
A good man, my foot—he was a thorough lecher.
This way of talking, this familiarity with a girl's sensitive spots—this was absolutely a complete scumbag and lecher.
But Meguri Shiromeguri was utterly helpless—at least right now she had no strength to resist at all.
She would wait to have a good practice session with Sis Haruno afterward, ask about the situation, and hope Sis Haruno could help come up with an idea.
This was her last lifeline at the moment. If she didn't even have this lifeline, she felt she'd be done for.
The Sobu High life ahead was likely going to be rough.
"Tomorrow it is, then. It's settled."
"Mm."
"Bzzt, bzzt, bzzt…"
The phone began to vibrate.
"Lin—Student Lin, your phone's ringing,"
Meguri Shiromeguri said cautiously.
She knew, all the more, that this should be her saving call. Thank goodness.
"Hmph,"
Haruno gave a displeased squeeze, then took out the phone and saw the caller ID.
Just as she'd thought, it was Yukino.
She didn't answer—she just hung up.
"Student Lin, what are you…"
"Call me Lin Ye, Lin-kun. Don't call me Student Lin,"
That form of address simply wouldn't do—Haruno demanded that Meguri Shiromeguri correct it.
"Uh, mm, all right, Lin-kun,"
Meguri Shiromeguri didn't refuse.
"Now then, as my girlfriend, President, don't you think you ought to do something?"
"What?"
Meguri Shiromeguri was puzzled, but seeing Lin Ye point at his own cheek, she immediately understood.
He wanted her to kiss it!
"Quick—and besides, President, you were hoping I'd leave the moment I took that call, weren't you! If you don't do it, I'll stay right here all through noon and won't budge,"
said Haruno.
And Meguri Shiromeguri, her thoughts seen through, was embarrassed.
Feeling the 'urging' from Haruno's left hand, she gritted her teeth and quickly planted a kiss on Haruno's cheek.
"That's enough, right?!"
She had mustered up all the courage of her life.
With this, she knew she had taken the step—there was no turning back now.
She was done for!
"Not enough,"
Meguri Shiromeguri saw Haruno point at the other cheek. "This way it's fair."
Under the prodding, Meguri Shiromeguri gave a soft sigh and kissed again.
"Nice, nice—but I have to kiss back to make it fair."
With that, Haruno cupped the girl's cheeks, and under Meguri Shiromeguri's dodging gaze, she kissed both her left and right cheeks.
"All right, I'll let you off today, President Meguri. But don't even think of running tomorrow—if you do, heh heh heh, you know what'll happen."
Under Haruno's intimidation, how could Meguri Shiromeguri dare break the agreement? Tomorrow's date—she had to go whether she wanted to or not.
"I'll go, don't worry,"
With that, Haruno let go and gave her a pat, signaling Meguri Shiromeguri to get up. In that instant, the girl shot up like lightning and pulled away from Haruno.
"How hurtful. President Meguri, this behavior of yours displeases me—you've made me angry. Tomorrow you'll have to make it up to me properly."
Hearing this,
Meguri Shiromeguri thought of something, and her whole being felt terrible.
Why was Lin Ye, right now, just like Sis Haruno?! Always finding all sorts of ways to demand compensation.
It was all too much.
Probably it was only because they were the same type of person that Sis Haruno had told Lin Ye such a secret about her!
"Goodbye, President Meguri,"
Haruno waved a parting greeting and left the Student Council Office.
When only Meguri Shiromeguri was left in the Student Council Office, she plopped down and stayed in a daze for a good while before coming back to herself.
In just the past ten-odd minutes, what on earth had happened?
Someone had confessed to her.
Someone had threatened her.
Someone had taken liberties with her.
And she'd—she'd even gained a boyfriend,
"Waaah!"
How had it come to this?!
Meguri Shiromeguri covered her face, her emotions tangled. For all her endless thinking and scheming, she'd never imagined something like this would happen. It was far too unexpected.
"This is even worse than that,"
Yes,
Meguri Shiromeguri even felt it would have been better if Lin Ye had just forced himself on her the moment he came in.
That, at least, would have been within the range of what she'd anticipated.
But the outcome—the outcome had turned out like this.
She felt utterly miserable.
At the thought that she'd inexplicably gained a boyfriend, Meguri Shiromeguri's head was still somewhat muddled even now—she hadn't been able to fully accept the fact.
"Aaaah…"
She shouted to vent the emotions within.
A few minutes later, she took out her phone to contact Sis Haruno, but thinking Sis Haruno might be busy, she sent a message instead, planning to arrange a meeting after school, if Sis Haruno had the time.
...
On the other side, after leaving, Haruno headed for the Service Club.
She knew the Service Club was in the club building, but she really didn't know its exact location—she wasn't entirely sure.
It took her several minutes before she finally managed to arrive at the Service Club.
The moment she stepped in,
the gazes of the three girls inside the Service Club fell upon her.
"Good afternoon!"
Her sister Yukino and Isshiki Iroha were both familiar faces, and that pink-bun-haired girl was quite familiar too.
Haruno strode in.
Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes stayed fixed on her.
She was ninety percent certain her sister had just gone off to stir up trouble—beyond that, there was simply no other possibility.
She'd miscalculated—she had actually just taken her sister's one-sided account at face value.
She now very much wanted to know what her sister had done with her fiancé's body just now.
Haruno walked over to the empty seat.
Yukino pushed the last unopened bento over in front of her sister.
"Yours,"
The three of them had already finished eating.
They'd waited a few minutes earlier, and seeing that Lin Ye still hadn't come back, the three of them had gone ahead and eaten first.
"Okay."
Haruno dug in.
And Yukino got up to brew a cup of tea and brought it over in front of Lin Ye.
"Thank you,"
"Mm,"
Yukino returned to her own seat.
Just now she'd wanted a legitimate excuse to get close to her sister, and in that brief contact she'd already caught the sweet fragrance clinging to her sister—very faint, but she'd smelled it out.
Only, this scent wasn't Miura Yumiko's.
What woman's scent was this?
Yukino couldn't place it for the moment, but she was now one hundred percent certain her sister had been up to some "good deed."
Damn it,
this was her fiancé's body—how could her sister cause trouble like this?
Complaints and dissatisfaction churned in her heart without end, yet there was nothing she could do. She hadn't kept him under watch just now, which had let her sister find the chance to stir up trouble.
This made her increasingly doubtful about how she'd manage to cope going forward.
This Body Swap between her sister and Lin Ye—let it end soon.
So she hoped.
How could Haruno fail to notice her sister's little maneuvers? The more this went on, the more amused she was inside. Of course, it also let her further gauge just how much Yukino cared about Lin Ye.
Clearly,
Yukino now completely regarded Lin Ye as her own man—it was just that, because Lin Ye's situation was special, in certain respects Yukino could only grit her teeth and accept it.
But as for most other things, Yukino would still do everything in her power to stop them.
Yet stopping them was of no use.
Haruno already understood that a man like Lin Ye was destined never to be with only one girl in this lifetime. Her sister was still racking her brains to eliminate the other rivals—which only went to show how naive her sister was.
But this naivety was perhaps the only thing that might let her sister leave Lin Ye someday.
For her to find a way now to make her sister and Lin Ye part was already impossible.
She even felt that even if she slept with Lin Ye—rolled in the sheets with him right in front of Yukino—it still wouldn't change her sister's will to be with Lin Ye.
Haruno sighed.
