"Phew... I thought I was going to die."
Released from the gentle yet violent embrace, I was finally able to breathe.
The cool air spread through my lungs, and I felt refreshed and my shortness of breath immediately disappeared.
"Yo-hey... are you okay?"
It seems that Kiyoshi had no ill intentions at all. As proof of that, unlike before, he was patting my back with an apologetic look on his face.
"A friend of mine told me, 'It's okay if a man touches your boobs!' So I tried it... sorry, it was my first time so I think I used a little too much force."
I think it's best not to listen to what your friend has to say.
Well, it's not wrong, but it's not right... well, let's leave that aside for now.
"Yo-hey, are you still sick? Will it get better if I touch your boobs again?"
"It's okay now!"
If I were to be enveloped in that sensation again, I don't know what would happen to my reason this time.
"Really? There's no need to be shy."
"I'm not being shy... I'm feeling better now."
While trying to hold back Kiyoshi, who keeps trying to hug me again whenever he gets the chance, I decide to ask him about something that has been bothering me in order to sort out the situation.
"Umm, is it correct to say that Hijiri did this to 'cure my lolicon'?"
That's the only reason I can think of for someone to suddenly hug me.
"Yeah. That's right~?"
"...Did you think touching your chest would heal you?"
"Because my friend said so"
"I see"
Sorry, even if you ask me, I might not understand it very well.
I'm also a little worried about Kiyoshi's friendships. I wonder if they're okay... No, Kiyoshi is surprisingly reliable, and the fact that she's close to him means he must be someone I can trust.
"...Yo-hee, how's it going? Do you think you'll be cured of your lolicon status?"
Anyway, to sum up... let's first understand that everything that has happened up until now has been done for my sake.
"If you're okay with my breasts, feel free to touch them as much as you like, okay? Even if it's just a little at a time, let's cure your lolicon. Hime-chan is certainly cute, but I don't think it's a good idea to look at her like that."
It's hard to say the means are right.
But there is no doubt that her feelings are of devoted kindness.
"--The Saint Mother of the school, huh?"
Suddenly, I remembered that people had been calling Hijiri that behind her back.
Whenever my classmates brought up the topic of her, I felt like they would always mention that nickname.
I thought she was called that because she looked gentle and had a sense of tolerance, and because her name sounded good...or so I thought.
Hijiri's personality is kinder than I imagined.
I realized that this was also the reason why she was called the Virgin Mary.
Moreover, it is not irresponsible kindness. It is not superficial kindness that is only aimed at temporarily agreeing with the other person or making them feel good by affirming them.
I felt the warmth and consideration that truly showed for others.
Even now, he gets angry at my faults, but he doesn't intimidate me or hate me, and instead seems to confront me and try to lead me down the right path.
Well... it's more of a misunderstanding than a bad point.
Anyway, there was no doubt that Hijiri was thinking of me.
I think I understand why Hime trusts me so much.
Sei was a very kind and wonderful person.
