"Curiosity has been ignited."
Juju looked at the bookshelf and couldn't help but recall the doujinshi she had read with Komi that day.
"It was clearly a very warm and healing work, so why did they make it into a doujinshi?!"
Taking a bite of ice cream, Juju suddenly felt a small dilemma in her heart.
Should she finish reading the rest of the content?
Of course not!
This was a boy's room. Secretly reading a doujinshi alone in a boy's room was something only a perverted girl would do!
However, good works always make people unable to stop.
She wanted to read it.
She really wanted to know what happened next.
Juju struggled for a while, but finally made up her mind and got up to walk towards the bookshelf.
"...I still want to finish it after all."
Although she wasn't a perfectionist, she liked to see things through to the end. She had thought about that manga several times in the past two days. Not seeing the ending felt like a cat seeing a cat toy but not being able to pounce, always feeling very uncomfortable.
Walking quietly to the bookshelf, Juju quickly found the manga.
"Phew~ The position hasn't changed." Juju breathed a sigh of relief, muttering softly, "Natsuki really didn't notice what Komi and I read."
Holding the manga, Juju sat back in front of the electric fan and opened the manga to the last page she had read. As her eyes scanned the pages, a blush quietly crept onto her small face.
At the same time.
Downstairs.
Bathroom.
Amamiya Natsuki had already finished showering and walked out of the bathroom.
"Huh? Where's Juju?"
Upon reaching the living room, Amamiya Natsuki was surprised to find that Juju had disappeared.
He searched around, she wasn't in the bathroom, nor in the yard, but her shoes were still at the entrance, so she clearly hadn't left.
"Hmm... upstairs?"
Amamiya Natsuki looked up towards the second floor, then walked upstairs. He reached the door of his room and pushed it open.
And then... the door was locked.
Before doing something bad, one must, of course, be fully prepared, especially with doors and windows. They must be tightly closed to avoid the risk of social death.
As a high school student who had encountered doujinshi, Juju was experienced!
"She's inside, after all."
Amamiya Natsuki found the door wouldn't open, so he raised his right hand and gently knocked on the door.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Ah..."
A panicked gasp came from inside the room, as if a cat caught stealing fish was caught red-handed by the farmer. This was followed by a dull thud and a girl's muffled cry of sorrow.
"Juju, open the door."
Amamiya Natsuki called from outside the door.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Juju's flustered voice came from the bedroom, followed by hurried footsteps.
A moment later, the door clicked open, and Juju, biting her lower lip, appeared behind it.
Looking at the pink-haired girl whose small face was flushed like fire, breathing rapidly, clothes disheveled, eyes misty, and with a few tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes, Amamiya Natsuki's expression gradually became subtle.
Amamiya Natsuki couldn't help but ask, "What were you doing in there?"
"Nothing!"
Don't lie, if you weren't doing anything, why lock the door?!
Juju turned her small face away, both embarrassed and angry. "You showered too fast, didn't you?"
"Boys always shower quickly."
"It wasn't even ten minutes in total, how could you possibly get clean in such a short time?!"
"I'm sorry, I did get clean." Amamiya Natsuki spread his arms. "Or would you like to check?"
"Pfft~" Juju lightly spat, then hummed with a red face, "I wouldn't check your body!"
"..."
Amamiya Natsuki spoke while looking into the room.
It looked neat and clean, as if nothing had happened. Then, the next second, Amamiya Natsuki's gaze suddenly fixed on the floor near the chair.
On the bright yellow floor, there was clearly a patch of wetness.
There was no water source in the room, so why was there water?
Wait a minute.
If there was a water source, it seemed there was one...
Following Amamiya Natsuki's gaze to the floor, Juju first blinked in confusion, then her small face suddenly turned beet red, and steam surged from the top of her head. She clenched her pink fists, both embarrassed and angry, and said, "You, you, you, you, you, what are you thinking?!"
Amamiya Natsuki looked down at Juju, his gaze tolerant. "Everyone's preferences should be respected..."
Juju was furious:
"It's not what you're thinking!"
"I understand." Amamiya Natsuki nodded. "It's saliva, right?"
"I'm not an alpaca, how could I have so much saliva!" Juju's chest heaved uncontrollably, her small face exploding in redness. "It's ice cream!"
"Just now... I got too engrossed looking at my phone! When the ice cream melted, it dripped onto the floor and became that puddle of liquid!"
Amamiya Natsuki looked at Juju. "Where's the ice cream?"
Juju: "Of course I ate it!"
Amamiya Natsuki then said, "Then, where's the ice cream stick?"
Juju: "..."
Just now, I was startled by your sudden knock on the door and fumbled, accidentally folder ing the ice cream stick into the doujinshi!
Unfortunately, the truth couldn't be spoken.
Once it was revealed, her secret of secretly reading a doujinshi in a boy's room would be exposed. If that happened, she'd rather die!
Seeing Juju remain silent, Amamiya Natsuki quietly backed away and said, "If you say it's ice cream, then it's ice cream. I'll go downstairs first. Just make sure you clean the floor."
"Damn it! You still suspect me, don't you?!"
Juju gnashed her teeth in anger, wanting to bite him. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she quickly hugged Amamiya Natsuki's arm. "I've thought of a way to prove my innocence!"
"What?"
"You come in!"
Juju hugged Amamiya Natsuki's arm and pulled him inside, pointing at the water stain on the floor. "Lie down and smell it with your nose. You can smell the ice cream right away!"
"You actually want me to smell that kind of thing?" Amamiya Natsuki looked shocked and firmly shook his head, refusing. "I'm sorry, that kind of game is beyond my acceptance. Please find someone else, I can't accept it."
Juju couldn't bear it any longer and pushed Amamiya Natsuki in the abdomen.
Then...
Amamiya Natsuki stood as steady as a mountain, not moving an inch.
"...Sit down!"
Juju's small face flushed, and she looked up and shouted.
Amamiya Natsuki then sat down on the edge of the bed.
"You smell it yourself, does it smell like watermelon ice cream!"
Juju grabbed Amamiya Natsuki's shoulders, brought her small face closer, opened her mouth, and revealed two rows of pearly white teeth like arranged shells.
Amamiya Natsuki looked inside and could clearly see Juju's slender, lilac-like tongue and the gently trembling soft flesh of her mouth, pink and tender, exceptionally cute.
As Juju breathed, the scent of watermelon ice cream wafted towards Natsuki.
"…"
The air in the room quietly settled.
Amamiya Natsuki instinctively reached out his right hand and gently wrapped it around Juju's soft, slender waist.
Their eyes met.
A hint of panic quickly appeared in Juju's beautiful pink eyes.
Hey, hey!
He only asked her to smell it; this guy wouldn't be trying to kiss her, would he?!
Though, if he did kiss her, he'd be able to taste it more directly…
Wait, wait, wait, wait!
What was she thinking?!
Just smelling it was enough; there was no need to kiss!
To prove her innocence, only to sacrifice her innocence in the process, wouldn't that be meaningless?
Smelling the gradually clearer scent of Amamiya Natsuki and the quietly rising heat from him, Juju felt her heart race, her head spin, and her eyes unconsciously turn into spiral eyes.
It wasn't until the last moment that Juju finally came to her senses, using all her strength to turn her small face away, her voice trembling softly.
"N-no…"
Juju, who was always tsundere and never showed weakness, now pleaded softly in a tone of vulnerability she had never used before:
"I can't do anything to betray Marin…"
"I didn't realize you were so loyal!"
Amamiya Natsuki raised his right hand and used his fingers to tuck the strands of hair falling onto Juju's forehead behind her ear, then said:
"You didn't do anything; I was forcing you, so that's fine, isn't it?"
"Eh?"
Juju was startled and couldn't help but puff out her pink cheeks.
How was that fine?
That was clearly burying one's head in the sand!
Amamiya Natsuki looked directly into Juju's eyes and said softly:
"Ever since I was chosen by the game, I decided on one thing."
"What is it?"
Juju was very curious.
Amamiya Natsuki's expression became serious: "JOJO, I'm no longer human."
Juju: "…"
"Emotion, morality, and ethics are merely shackles humans use to bind themselves," Amamiya Natsuki said in a low voice, his gaze calm. "As long as I'm shameless enough, no one can defeat me morally."
"The law only states that bigamy is illegal; is it illegal to like several girls?"
Amamiya Natsuki thoroughly disliked pretentious and overly sentimental things.
If he liked multiple girls, he would openly admit it, without seeking excuses, avoiding, or hiding it. Even if he was scum, he would be open and honest scum.
Juju's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but say:
"…How are your words any different from a scumbag's?"
"There's a big difference, for example…" Amamiya Natsuki looked into Juju's eyes and said earnestly, "I will always only like Juju."
"Y-y-you, what are you saying?!"
Juju's face was burning, and she nervously turned her head, her heart involuntarily speeding up.
"See, deceiving and playing with your feelings with lies, that's what a scumbag does," Amamiya Natsuki said. "I'm just human trash."
Juju: "…"
At this moment, Juju truly understood what "as long as I'm shameless enough, no one can defeat me morally" meant.
Shamelessness is invincible.
"Let go of me!"
Juju huffed with puffed-out pink cheeks.
You can say what you want, but she would absolutely not accept it!
Amamiya Natsuki said: "I haven't smelled it yet."
"No chance!"
Juju broke free and left. He even wanted to bully her; how could she agree to that!
Amamiya Natsuki pulled out a tissue: "I'll wipe the floor."
"I'll wipe it myself." Juju snatched the tissue. "I don't need your help."
"…"
He cleaned the floor.
Amamiya Natsuki sniffed the tissue: "It really is the smell of ice cream."
"I told you it was ice cream all along!" Juju was furious. "Why is your mind full of sesshou things?!"
