Chapter 159: Do You... Want to Try That?

She couldn't sleep.

There was only one reason: Matsuda's tastes.

She had agonized over it all week without finding an answer, but after Matsuda revealed his sincere feelings today, she had finally reached a tentative conclusion.

'Should I let him do it once...?'

Christmas was a few weeks away. It wouldn't be a bad idea to give it to him as a gift then.

There were two main reasons behind this decision.

The first was a reward for the immense love he had shown her and for turning over a new leaf.

The second was the worry that if left to his own devices, he might keep watching those kinds of videos and eventually lose control of his urges.

Matsuda used to be a delinquent.

He hung out with good people these days, but before he met Miyuki, he had spent all his time with thugs.

The sort of people who invited all kinds of nasty rumors.

It wasn't widely publicized, but it was an open secret that those guys frequented entertainment venues like cabarets, hostess clubs, deriheru, and fashion health parlors.

Matsuda had a gentler nature and more common sense than they did, so he probably hadn't gone to those places himself, but...

Given the company he used to keep, he definitely knew about those establishments. If the urge to have a threesome struck him, things could take a bad turn.

Of course, she trusted that Matsuda wouldn't go to places like that.

But if he were tempted—if he even entertained the thought of going—she would be absolutely furious.

To prevent that kind of temptation, she figured it would be better to just resolve it once under her supervision and be done with it.

Where else in the world could you find a girlfriend like this?

Matsuda needed to treat her incredibly well.

Truthfully, she was also somewhat curious. She wanted to properly understand her boyfriend's tastes and experience exactly why he liked it so much.

Frankly, it was still off-putting. If they actually went through with it, Matsuda would be focusing his attention on another woman too.

Who would ever enjoy seeing the love meant for a girlfriend shared with someone else?

'Geez...'

Letting out an internal huff of dissatisfaction, Miyuki pinched the peacefully sleeping Matsuda's stomach.

"Mmm..."

Matsuda let out a low groan and pulled Miyuki tighter into his embrace.

Dumbfounded by his oblivious state, Miyuki let out a short scoff.

Here she was, wrestling with such a massive dilemma, while her boyfriend was fast asleep.

But thinking about it logically, there was no reason to be mad.

She was the one who had caused this. She had opened Pandora's box of her own free will to discover his tastes, and she was also the one volunteering to let him have a threesome.

Still, it would be a lie to say she wasn't annoyed.

With that thought, Miyuki wriggled upward and slipped her tongue between Matsuda's slightly parted lips.

I woke up to something warm and wet gently teasing the inside of my mouth.

Peeking through half-open eyes, I saw the outline of Miyuki's face right in front of mine.

The lights were off and it was late, so she had no idea I was awake. Watching her eagerly ravaging my mouth was honestly hilarious.

She'd done this before... She didn't have somnophilia or something, did she?

I quietly let her do as she pleased for a bit, then patted her butt when I figured I'd had enough.

Miyuki flinched, quickly withdrew her tongue, and pretended to be asleep.

"Did you really think I wouldn't catch you?"

When I teased her in a groggy voice, she let out a soft sigh and asked, "You're awake?"

"Who wouldn't wake up when you're doing that?"

"You're only a light sleeper at times like this..."

Miyuki grumbled.

I patted her head to soothe her, then picked up my Cell Phone to check the time.

Two in the morning. It was late.

She must have had a lot on her mind. Seeing as she couldn't even sleep properly... I felt bad.

"Matsuda-kun, I'm sorry for waking you, but I have something to say. Ah, I didn't wake you up on purpose to tell you, though."

"I know. Go ahead."

"Sit up properly."

I could feel it coming. I could feel it...

Still holding Miyuki, I sat up and turned on the small mood light I'd bought a while back.

Then, I looked straight at her.

"Tell me."

"..."

She chewed on her lip for a moment, hesitating.

I waited quietly until she was ready.

How much time had passed?

Just as the atmosphere in the living room grew slightly stiff and our eye contact began to feel awkward, Miyuki broke the silence.

"Matsuda-kun."

"Yeah."

"Do you... want to try that?"

The moment I heard those words, my eyes went wide and I looked down at her.

She hadn't stated it explicitly, simply calling it 'that,' but even an idiot would know she was talking about a threesome.

"The thing I'm thinking of...?"

"Probably...?"

"Are you serious?"

"I-I just suddenly felt like I wanted to experience your tastes at least once... B-but don't misunderstand, Matsuda-kun. I'm not saying we're going to keep doing it. Just once... We'll do it exactly once and that's it..."

It was a complete 180 from how she had struggled to even open her mouth a moment ago.

Now that she had broken the ice, the words seemed to spill out easily.

When I just kept staring at her in silence, her voice dropped to a whisper.

"What do you think...?"

That snapped me out of my daze, and I asked, "What do I think...?"

"Yeah."

"I mean... I'm thrilled that you'd even suggest this... but are you really okay with it?"

"Since your tastes are so unusual... you might get some bad ideas..."

"Bad ideas?"

"A-anyway, do you want to do it or not?"

I had always thought the answer would flow right out if a situation like this ever arose, but my lips wouldn't easily part.

Miyuki must have agonized over this for a long time.

I didn't know exactly what was going through her head, but it was clearly a conclusion she had reached after imagining every possible scenario.

Having Miyuki suggest a threesome first was exactly the direction I wanted.

I should have been celebrating—and honestly, I was happy about it—but I also felt a deep sense of guilt toward her.

She must have suffered so much inner turmoil over this. I needed to treat her better from now on.

"I mean... of course I want to..."

Did she find it ridiculous, the way I timidly showed my true colors while scratching the back of my head?

The corners of Miyuki's lips twitched up ever so slightly before falling back down.

Did she finally relax? Thank goodness.

"Then you can..."

"But... it's not like we can just do it right away just because I want to."

"True... finding someone is the issue, huh...?"

"Right..."

"Y-you try to set it up first, Matsuda-kun. Someone we both know..."

Wouldn't it normally be better to do it with a stranger so you can just brush it off afterward?

Miyuki definitely had a secret perverted streak.

"Well... Miyuki. Who do we both know? The girls in our class...?"

"..."

"If not them, then Kanna..."

The moment I mentioned Kanna's name, Miyuki's eyes flared with anger.

"Do you want to die...? My sister is absolutely off-limits."

So a sister threesome was off the table, huh?

No. I wasn't giving up.

If Miyuki developed a taste for threesomes, I'd try for it then.

"No, I mean... those are the people we both know... Otherwise, there's Senior Nanase... Inoo-sunbae..."

"Now that I think about it, we really don't know that many people in common, do we...?"

"Exactly..."

"Ugh, I don't know...! You find someone yourself..."

Embarrassed, Miyuki threw a small fit and buried her face in the pillow.

I placed my hand on her back, rubbing circles to soothe her, and carefully asked, "By when do I need to find someone...?"

"Do it before Christmas... I don't want to hear another word about it until then..."

She specifically pinpointed Christmas?

So she intended to give it to me as a gift that day. Good girl, Miyuki.

I had about three weeks until then.

I already knew who my target for the first threesome would be.

Miyuki and Chinami. Just the two of them.

However, there was a problem.

The problem was that Chinami had zero experience with men.

I could try to persuade Chinami and take her first time right in front of Miyuki, but that would definitely hurt Chinami's feelings.

I wanted to spend my first time with each of the heroines completely alone, and I had no intention of doing it with an audience.

Chinami, of course, but Renka and Hiyori as well—when their day came, they would want it to be just the two of us.

'Keeping it a secret wouldn't be a bad idea...'

Actually, not only was it not a bad idea, keeping it a secret was the right move.

As long as we got our stories straight, we could easily fool Miyuki.

But I didn't want to do that.

Why? Because Miyuki had worked up the courage to indulge my tastes.

If I deceived her about this too, her disappointment would be immeasurable when she eventually found out.

I could delay the date I slept with Chinami, but the fact remained that I would still be the one taking her first time.

Which meant Miyuki would find out eventually.

So, since she had already given me her permission, should I indirectly feel her out about it right now?

Currently, Miyuki didn't seem to be considering the possibility of inviting someone with no experience.

I wanted to convince her somehow... and I did have one idea in mind.

To make it work, I needed to hold back on testing the waters for now.

We had gotten off to a fantastic start today, so I should let Miyuki rest. She had already drained a lot of mental energy.

"Let's just sleep for now. It's going to be rough getting up tomorrow..."

"Yeah..."

Holding Miyuki tight, I lay back down in bed beside her.

'I'm really sorry for putting you through this and being so selfish, but let me be stubborn just this once.'

'I'll endure it even if you curse at me or hit me, so I really hope you'll listen to me.'

After offering Miyuki a sincere apology in my heart, I gently stroked her hair as she burrowed deeper into my embrace, and I closed my eyes.
