Chapter 117 Fang...
After Eriri untied her twin tails, her golden long hair was completely spread out.
Lowering his head, Kaede deeply inhaled the scent of Eriri's beautiful hair, then softly said, "Hmm, I know. I feel all of Eriri's feelings for me."
The hand behind Eriri's back was now gently caressing her back.
"I'm really happy to hear you say so much, Eriri."
"Hehe... that's so embarrassing."
"Mhm, I know," Kaede said with a smile after hugging her a little tighter. "Alright, aren't you sleepy? Let's get some sleep."
"Eh?"
Seeing Eriri look up in confusion, Kaede playfully flicked her nose and said, "What, do you really think I'm just a pervert who only lusts after your body? I'm not that desperate yet. Get some good rest first. Besides, after a good nap this afternoon, won't we still have time?"
"Ugh... in the end, you're still a pervert, hmph." Eriri huffed softly, closing her eyes to sleep.
"Good afternoon, Kaede-kun."
"Good... wait a minute."
"Hm? Eh, wait a minute, Kaede-kun, what are you doing?" The confused Eriri immediately felt Kaede's hands moving under the blanket.
"Take off your pants, it's uncomfortable to sleep in them."
"Uwaaa!!!"
In short, they finally fell asleep after a good while of commotion... At 4:30 PM, Kaede's phone received a message from his mother, which was the location of tonight's dinner restaurant.
Eriri, who had just finished getting dressed, opened Kaede's phone and saw the message. After thinking about it, she still didn't reply for him.
Then she checked her own phone and found that her mother hadn't sent any messages at all.
"What the heck, don't you even think about me?"
After waiting a while longer, Kaede, who had showered and changed clothes, finally returned.
However, after coming in, Kaede still had the uncomfortable look he had when he left, though it had lessened somewhat, replaced mostly by lingering fear.
Eriri immediately stood up, quickly walked to Kaede, took his hand, and asked, "Kaede-kun, are you alright? I'm sorry, it's all because I wasn't careful..."
Kaede rubbed Eriri's head, took a breath, and shook his head, saying, "No, no, no, it has nothing to do with you, Eriri. I didn't think things through and underestimated the power of fangs."
Upon hearing this, Eriri recalled the previous scene, her face instantly flushed. She held Kaede's hand and lowered her head in embarrassment.
(T/N: What the f*ck happened??? Am I stupid or what??)
When Kaede used to browse the internet, he'd hear people complain about "fang injuries," originally thinking it was just a joke. After all, how could such idle people online have girlfriends? And girls with fangs weren't that common; it was probably just a scare tactic.
At first, Kaede thought it was a lie, as he hadn't felt anything bad. But then, Eriri seemed to get into the swing of things, and Kaede also relaxed a bit. Then, at the very end, Eriri accidentally used a little too much force... Fortunately, Eriri knew what she was doing and stopped in time, otherwise, Kaede might not have been able to go to dinner tonight.
In summary, while there was a slight danger, as long as it was handled properly and she became skilled, it seemed like it could even be a different kind of thrill?
Having mostly recovered, Kaede pulled Eriri to sit on the edge of the bed and stroked her freshly blow-dried long hair, saying, "Alright, don't blame yourself. Ultimately, I was the one who suggested it. I'm happy enough that Eriri didn't refuse me. Next time, you'll be more skilled."
"Ugh... you want a next time?"
"Hehe, didn't I say? Practice makes perfect."
"Hmph!" Eriri's cheeks were flushed. She picked up her phone from the side and handed it to Kaede. "Reiko-san sent a message. The dinner place is set. Let's go over there soon."
"She sent it? That was quick. I thought it would be 5 o'clock before she sent it."
He took the phone and saw that there was indeed a message, an address. After looking at it, Kaede replied and then put the phone down, pulling Eriri into a hug.
After kissing Eriri's tender cheek, Kaede looked at the still-shy girl and said, "Today, I became even more intimate with Eriri. It's a day worth remembering."
"Don't make everything a day worth remembering!!!"
After tugging Kaede's cheeks twice, Eriri picked up a hair tie from the bed and said, "Kaede-kun, help me tie my hair!"
"Me? I don't know how."
"Just try it! We still have time anyway!"
"Hmm~~~ Alright, I'll try."
After thinking about it, Kaede decided to give it a try, so he took the hair tie. There wasn't a small mirror like girls use in the room, so they could only have Eriri open her phone's selfie camera to use as a mirror.
"Let's start with the right side. Grab a handful of hair, hmm, a little more, that's about right. Gather the surrounding hair too, otherwise, it'll be too messy."
Fifteen minutes later, the two, now ready, finally left the room.
Eriri shook her head repeatedly and said, "Ugh... I'd better not let you tie my hair again, Kaede-kun. You don't have the talent for it. One side was high, the other low, and we had to do it all over again."
She had originally thought it would be very romantic, but it really made her regret it a bit. Luckily, Kaede-kun was gentle, so it didn't hurt.
Kaede awkwardly scratched his cheek and said with a smile, "Well, you didn't say anything either. I thought it looked pretty much fine."
"It was way off! You could tell immediately by looking in the full-length mirror! And the left side was thinner than the right, anyone with eyes could tell I didn't tie it myself!"
It must be said that girls are indeed more particular about these things, while Kaede genuinely couldn't tell the difference. The error was perhaps only about a centimeter, but she could still spot it.
However, considering the progress they had made today, even though he almost got hurt, Kaede chose not to argue with Eriri.
They arrived at the roadside, hailed a taxi, and headed straight to tonight's dinner restaurant.
Asakura Reiko and Sawamura Sayuri had gone out today for shopping and a spa, so naturally, they wouldn't go to an ordinary place. Therefore, dinner was set at a Kaiseki restaurant in the bustling district. However, Kaede's family was not short on money; whether it was Asakura Kiichi's executive salary or Kaede's light novel income, dining in such a place was absolutely no problem.
After giving their name upon entering, the waiter led them directly to the reserved private room. However, their two mothers hadn't arrived yet; they had come first instead.
Sawamura Sayuri had already completed the ordering. After the two sat down, the waiter quickly brought tea. They drank tea and chatted for a while, just in time for Asakura Reiko and Sawamura Sayuri to arrive.
