I was lying on a futon spread out on the tatami mat in the room I'd been assigned.
It was a place called the 'annex,' a little ways away from the dojo.
I'd already taken a bath and was ready to sleep, but I knew I couldn't just go to bed like this.
"I should probably talk to her tonight."
During today's mock battle, Einhart's heart just wasn't in it. Not at all. It was so bad I felt sorry for Mikaya-san.
Einhart and Kirin were sharing a room.
They had gone to take a bath, swapping with me, so I'd have to find the right time to go to their room and pull Einhart aside.
But what was bothering Einhart? The simple guess would be something to do with me and Kirin. Given how chaotic this world is, I couldn't rule out the possibility that she'd been dragged into some kind of trouble.
As I was vaguely thinking about this, I sensed someone's presence on the other side of the shoji screen.
"...Who is it?"
"...It's me, senpai."
I was a little surprised by the voice, but there was no reason to turn them away. I invited them in.
The shoji screen opened slightly, and a girl entered.
Since we were staying overnight, she probably hadn't borrowed a full set of pajamas. But perhaps to match the dojo, or because her family's home is also a dojo, she was wearing white yukata-style pajamas.
Toudou Kirin was standing there.
"Kirin? What are you doing here at this hour?"
"J-just! I wanted to talk about something! A-and I'm sorry for coming so late at night!"
"Oh, no, that's completely fine. Please, come in."
Yes, it was completely fine, but her coming at this hour still made my heart skip a beat. If it had been someone from my own home, I'd probably have been half-asleep and just grumbled a response.
I let Kirin into the room, and she sat on the futon.
She sat down---and nothing happened.
Kirin, sitting in seiza style on the futon, kept glancing nervously at the shoji. I couldn't tell if she was feeling uncomfortable or worried that someone might come. She wouldn't meet my eyes.
"..."
"..."
I, too, tried to act as if everything was normal, making myself comfortable. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Kirin's face was flushed all the way to her ears.
Ten minutes passed with two people in the room and no conversation.
Kirin might have had her own preparations, but she had completely lost her nerve. I had to give her a push.
"Kirin? Is there something you wanted to talk about?"
"Huh!? Oh, yes! That's right! That's what I wanted to do, but... I'm sorry, I thought I had decided what to say..."
"Is it hard to talk about?"
Kirin nodded silently. But the silence didn't last long this time.
"Haaa... Senpai! Do you have a girlfriend!? If not, would you please go out with me!?"
She said it all in one breath.
"..."
Well, well.
What should I say? I had no intention of lying to Kirin, who had just confessed to me so earnestly. But should I tell her the plain, unvarnished truth...?
I guess I have no choice.
I don't want to mislead her.
"Let's get straight to the point, Kirin. You know Asuna, right?"
"Huh? Yes, of course I do, but..."
"You know Yukina too, right?"
"Yes."
"And Kurumi?"
"Of course I know her! What's this all about, senpai?"
I said I'd get straight to the point, but I was just rambling. This isn't good.
"I'm dating almost all the girls I live with."
"E-EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!???"
Of course, that's a normal reaction.
"Wait, no, EHH!? What do you mean you're dating all of them!?"
"Don't leave out the 'almost.' That's the important part."
But even with 'almost,' it still means I'm dating multiple people. That's definitely not normal. My own sense of reality is probably warped.
After a while, Kirin calmed down and was able to talk again.
"I'm sorry, I got a little carried away..."
"No, that's a completely normal reaction. Don't worry about it."
The only people in this world who know about my situation with women are Artoria and the others, and Sakura and Riko. Those four have a way of thinking that's far from normal, so they weren't much help when I was figuring out how to handle a confession.
"So, the girls you know that I live with, I'm dating almost all of them. Do you understand that?"
"Y-yes. It's difficult, but I think so."
I'd already told her the names of the girls I was dating.
"So, what about my confession!?"
The mood was completely gone, and she just blurted out the word 'confession.' I couldn't believe she was still talking about it after I told her I was in a harem.
"Well, seeing you and all the others together, I kind of figured that was the case. If anything, it makes sense why you all get along so well, so I'm relieved, honestly."
Since I've been spending more time with people outside our group recently, I need to be more careful about these things. Especially since I'll probably be interacting more with people from Special Duty Section 6.
"Ah! You're getting off topic! What about my confession!?"
"O-oh. You're very assertive tonight."
"I just feel so much better after saying it out loud! I'm not afraid of anything anymore!"
That's a famous death flag.
"Are you sure you're okay with dating me, Kirin? Even though I'm already dating multiple girls?"
"It's not that I don't mind, but... but seeing you with them, I can tell that you cherish each and every one of them!"
Kirin and I faced each other.
"Well then, let me say it again. Toudou Kirin, will you go out with me?"
"Yes! With pleasure!"
And just like that, Kirin and I started dating, but...
"..."
"..."
Silence fell again. Unlike the previous silence, Kirin was now facing me directly. Her teary, downcast eyes darted around, and her mouth kept opening and closing.
"Kirin? What's wrong now?"
"W-when you start dating, what are you supposed to do...? A handshake? Or a bow...?"
Ah, so that's what it was. That's an easy question.
"Kirin."
"...!"
Half-crouching, I wrapped my arms around Kirin and pulled her into a hug.
Her body, a girl's body, was so fragile, it was hard to believe we had just been engaged in such a fierce sword fight during the day.
And what most affirmed her as a girl were her ample breasts. Their softness, felt even through her pajamas, was bad for my lower half. Because of the thickness of her chest, our stomachs didn't touch at all, even as we hugged.
After a moment, her arms wrapped around my back, and she squeezed.
We held each other even tighter.
She lifted her face, which had been pressed against my chest, with a look of longing. As if drawn by her lips, we leaned in and kissed.
With a push from Kirin, or maybe from our own momentum, we fell back onto the futon.
"Mm, ch..."
It was a gentle kiss, a brush of lips, barely enough to feel their softness. It was a fresh, innocent kiss, fitting for two people on their very first date.
"Senpai. Senpai... Hehe."
Kirin pulled her lips away, still on top of me, and nuzzled her face into my chest. She was so happy, she kept murmuring 'senpai.'
"Senpai. I asked you before, didn't I? If you wanted to touch my chest."
"I guess you did... I'd forgotten about that."
I was so surprised at the time. Really. I never thought Kirin would say something like that, given her personality.
"You turned me down then... but, w-what about now?"
"N-now!?"
My lower half twitched, understanding the meaning of her words.
Even now, I was desperately trying to suppress the reaction in my lower body to the two mounds pressed against my stomach. I thought it was best not to be so forward with Kirin, for whom everything was a first.
But even the pure Kirin was still a girl. Or rather, I still think she's pure, but considering her question from before, maybe she's surprisingly curious about these things.
"Kirin, do you want to do something... naughty?"
"Fueh!?"
She jumped up, her face completely red. She was shaking her head violently, as if to deny what I had just said.
"N-no! It's not like that...! Or, I mean, it's not not like that...! I'm sorry! Please forget I said anything!!"
Our positions were reversed. I picked up Kirin, who had been sitting on my waist, and in an instant, we had swapped places. Kirin's eyes went wide from the sudden change, and she shrank back. Instead of getting on top of her, I hovered over her on my hands and knees as she lay weakly on her side.
"U-um..."
She clutched the collar of her yukata, her voice a faint whisper, as if she could sense what was coming.
"Coming to my room at this hour, and that question earlier. Were you... expecting something, Kirin?"
"A-ah... ...Yes."
Kirin nodded with a movement so subtle it was almost impossible to see.
"What were you expecting?"
"W-what!?"
"Yeah. What were you expecting? What did you want me to do to you?"
I held her gaze, not letting her look away.
"S-something naughty."
"Something naughty? Like what?"
"Like what, you ask...?"
She gave me a look that said, "You know what, don't make me say it," but I ignored it.
"Ughhh! Something naughty is just... something naughty! Senpai, you're so mean..."
"I'm not being mean at all."
Liar. I'm totally being mean.
"Senpai, aren't you and Asuna-san and Yukina-san doing naughty things? Normal naughty things, like you do with everyone else..."
She seemed to be at her limit, so I decided to give in.
"Normal, huh. Alright."
"Yes, please, just normally..."
She seemed relieved, but we haven't even started yet, have we? I intentionally drew out the conversation, but even so, isn't she getting relieved a little too soon?
"Alright, first I'll touch your chest."
"Ah, yes. A-ah, that's right... Ugh..."
"If you're embarrassed, we can stop?"
"No! Not after coming all this way...! B-but, can it be over my clothes?"
"Of course."
Even over her clothes, her chest was an overwhelming size for her age.
I placed my hands on her mounds and lightly moved my fingers. As I massaged her with my palms, I imagined the volume of the two hills under her clothes, and my anticipation grew.
"Haaaaan... Uuuuuuuhh..."
Kirin's voice still wasn't a sound of pleasure. Her face was red, but it was from embarrassment.
"Kirin, how does it feel?"
"Haa, nngh, I don't know...! It's the first time someone's touched me like this...!"
"What does it usually feel like?"
"Usually? It's not like I do this usually!"
But even so, a change began to occur, one I could feel even through her clothes.
A sensation different from softness appeared in the center of my palms. It was a firm, core-like protrusion, different from the soft, sinking feeling. It was starting to assert itself more and more.
"Uuuuuhh... When you rub it like that... what is this...!"
"Is this the spot you want me to focus on?"
"I-I don't know if I like it...! But it's a strange feeling, hauh!"
I pinched the nipple through her clothes. It didn't matter that her clothes were in the way. It was so hard it was pushing up her fabric, making a small tent, so it was easy to manipulate it with two fingers.
"Wh-what is this...! My body, it's twitching on its own...!"
Kirin squeezed her eyes shut and clenched her mouth.
I deliberately opened her pajamas to rub the nipple with the fabric. The thin material clearly outlined its shape, and I used it like a saw to tear it open in one go.
Because of this, Kirin couldn't say anything to stop me, even as I undressed her.
The slight jolt of her chest opening caused her large mounds to sway. The sight of Kirin's breasts in person was breathtaking. To have grown so much at her age, I wondered what she had been eating.
The cherry blossom-colored tips, standing up against gravity, were completely engorged from the caress over her clothes.
"Ah, no, you can see them...! It's so embarrassing, ah, ahhh! Hieu, fugyu, uuuuu..."
Before she could say anything, I pinched her hardened nipple and silenced her. I also sank my fingers into her beautiful, voluminous breasts.
I enjoyed the exquisite sensation. My fingers sank in but were met with resistance, and when I pulled them away, they returned to their beautiful shape.
Kirin bit her sleeve, desperately trying not to make a sound. She wasn't breathing through her mouth, so her breath came out in ragged gasps.
She squeezed her eyes so tight that wrinkles formed on her face, and tears even welled up in the corners of her eyes.
Even with the gentle stimulation of my kneading her breasts, if it continued for too long, she would eventually reach her peak.
"Fuuuuh, fuuuuh, fuuuuh, uuuuh. Uuuuuuuuuuuhhhh!!!"
She had reached her limit. Although she didn't let out a loud cry, the way her inner thighs trembled and her body stiffened was the unmistakable reaction of a woman climaxing.
"It's... amazing...! My head, it exploded, and there was a flash...! I came. I... I came..."
She lay there, exhausted, not even bothering to cover her exposed chest.
I guess she knows words like "climax."
"I... I looked it up. What lovers do."
That's true. It's a common theme in manga, too. What makes a relationship a 'couple's' relationship.
Personally, I think a couple is just two people who feel that way in their hearts. A couple is a couple no matter what they do. That's why when they walk down the street, people want to cast a curse on them (especially the guy).
But there are some things that couples do that are different from anything else.
And that's 'this kind of act.'
Since she brought it up at this moment, she must have been researching that. We were together often for training, and she'd been acting more flirtatiously since she came to this room.
"So, you got curious."
"Yes...! But no! It's not because I wanted to do something naughty that I confessed to you! I only started looking things up after... after I started to be aware of you...!"
That's a very nice thing to say.
"So, what happens next?"
"Next?"
Kirin sat up and asked.
Next. The acts that lovers do aren't over just because the woman has climaxed. It doesn't end there.
In fact, what we had just done was just the preliminary stage. To end here...
"Senpai, I want to go all the way with you..."
She untied the sash of her loosened yukata pajamas.
You wear a kimono by passing the sleeves through, wrapping the fabric around your body, and tying the sash. As soon as the sash that holds it in place is gone, it becomes incredibly fragile.
My son, too, swelled with anticipation at Kirin's words.
