Chapter 161

I Want to Do It With Senior Nanase and You #2

Miyuki was silent for a long, long time.

She just stared blankly at the bare leather dashboard cover, lost in thought.

I was about to ask if she was okay, but seeing her deeply contorted expression, I decided to keep my mouth shut.

How much time had passed?

After an agonizing stretch of silence, Miyuki finally looked back at me.

“Did I understand you correctly...? Since Senior Nanase doesn't have any experience, you're saying you'll give her that experience?”

She understood perfectly.

That was exactly it.

“No, well...”

I subtly avoided Miyuki's gaze and tried to turn my head toward the window.

But then— “Hey.”

Miyuki called out to me in an incredibly icy voice, and my whole body froze.

This was the first time she had ever addressed me like that. No matter what happened, she had always called me “Matsuda-kun.”

A sudden chill ran down my spine. I was shivering even with the heater on full blast.

“...Yeah.”

“Do you want to die?”

“I'm sorry...”

“Do I look like some pushover who just goes along with whatever Matsuda-kun says?”

“No.”

“Then what? Do you really have a death wish?”

It was even scarier because she didn't yell, hit me, or cry. She was just utterly cold.

‘I want to build a harem, but I want to get your permission first... could you try to understand my feelings?’

That was what I wanted to say... but there was no need to provoke her further.

Besides, no matter what nonsense I spouted, it wouldn't change the fact that I was trash.

So I just needed to keep my mouth shut.

“I guess this is perfectly acceptable according to Matsuda-kun's common sense?”

“It's not that...”

“Then what's your reason for bringing this up?”

“Miyuki. Just wait a second...”

Seeing her face starting to flush with anger, I reached out to hold her hand and calm her down.

But Miyuki yanked her arm away and slapped my hand aside.

At that action, my heart sank.

The greatest crisis of my Doki-Aka life had arrived.

I stopped trying to calculate the best move in my head and gave Miyuki my most sincere apology.

“I'm really sorry.”

Biting down hard on her lower lip, Miyuki finally let her fierce emotions show.

“Dammit...!”

She clenched her fists tightly and began to tremble.

‘I'm completely fucked. Shouldn't I just say I won't do it for now?’

As I was looking at Miyuki and thinking that, she suddenly reached out, grabbed the front of my uniform, and yanked my upper body forward.

My body was dragged forward helplessly.

While I was still reeling from her first-ever display of physical force, she scowled fiercely and demanded:

“Did something happen between you and Senior Nanase?”

It made sense for her to ask that.

She must have been wondering where I got the nerve to suddenly declare I was going to sleep with Chinami out of nowhere.

“We're just close.”

“Close enough to give her a massage when you're all alone together?”

“That was just to show appreciation for her hard work...”

“Am I not enough? You can't control your sex drive?”

“Hey... why would you say that... You know how much I like you... That's absolutely not it.”

At those words, Miyuki's expression softened slightly.

Anything I said in this situation was bound to sound like an excuse, but the fact that she reacted that way meant Miyuki knew it, too.

She knew how sincere I was whenever we had sex.

My efforts up to this point were finally paying off.

I hadn't acted that way just to use it as a trump card in a difficult situation like this, but if it could soothe Miyuki's anger even a little, then it was a win.

“Do you even like me?”

“Of course I do.”

“Considering what you just said, that's hard to believe.”

“What do I have to do to make you believe me? Should I strip completely naked, step out of the car, and start screaming right now?”

“Do it.”

“Alright.”

Slowly pulling away from Miyuki, I reached for my uniform dress shirt.

One by one from the top, I undid the buttons, revealing my chest.

With my shirt half unbuttoned, I even undid the clasp on my pants and reached for the car door.

Right then, Miyuki slapped my arm.

“You always find a way...!”

Smack!

“...to do the exact things...”

Smack!

“...that piss me off the most...!”

Smack!

After hitting my arm three times hard enough to sting, Miyuki stared intently at me as I sat there silently. Then, she let out a deep sigh.

“Haa... Button your shirt back up.”

She sounded like a mother dragging back a son who had actually walked out when told to leave the house.

‘I guess I should be glad she didn't grab me by the hair?’

Regardless, I felt a little more at ease. The freezing air inside the car felt like it was warming up, even if only slightly.

“Yeah.”

Answering obediently, I slowly pulled my clothes back together.

Was watching me do that frustrating for her?

Miyuki let out a short huff through her nose and started buttoning my shirt for me.

Glaring at me sideways, she grumbled.

“Why are you so shameless about this...? Being completely honest for no reason...”

“All I can say is I'm sorry...”

“Forget it, you idiot.”

An idiot... So I'd been promoted from a fool.

I didn't know whether to be happy about that or not.

“But... is it even possible just because Matsuda-kun wants it? Have you ever even talked about this with her?”

At Miyuki's subsequent question, my ears perked up.

‘Is she actually going to allow it? Really?’

“No.”

“Then what's your plan? Someone as innocent as Senior Nanase wouldn't just agree to this...”

“I was just going to try guiding her into it.”

“And if she shows she hates it?”

“Then I'd have to give up.”

“Really...?”

Miyuki's expression relaxed even more.

She probably believed Chinami would never give up her body, so she was feeling a little relieved.

“Do you absolutely have to do it with Senior Nanase, and with me?”

“That was the original plan, but seeing your reaction, I'm changing my mind. I'm fine either way.”

“...Then who else are you going to bring in...?”

She seemed to be hesitating slightly.

I needed to completely back off here.

Well, just pretend to back off while observing the situation.

“I don't need to bring anyone in; we just won't do it. I just lost my mind for a second because you gave me permission yesterday.”

“......”

“Can I hug you?”

“No...”

Even as she refused, her upper body was leaning ever so slightly toward me.

Catching that detail, I hesitated, gauging her reaction before slowly pulling Miyuki into a hug.

Miyuki's body quietly accepted my embrace.

I gently stroked her back from top to bottom, over and over.

Then, Miyuki's arms slowly rose, sliding under my armpits to squeeze my lats.

Relieved, I was about to say something when—

“I'm only going along with this ridiculous nonsense exactly once,”

Miyuki beat me to the punch.

“Wh...”

“I'm not done talking. Until Christmas, I'm going to treat what happened yesterday and today like it never happened. If things aren't sorted out with Senior Nanase by then? Then that's it. We'll pretend the whole threesome idea never existed. And it'll stay that way forever. Got it?”

The moment I heard that, I broke the hug and held Miyuki by the shoulders.

Then, I spoke in a serious tone.

“You don't have to force yourself to allow this.”

“I'm not forcing myself. It's just that if we skip over it now, I feel like you'll have lingering regrets, Matsuda-kun. And it would leave me feeling uncomfortable, too...”

‘Uncomfortable...?’

Now that she had already caught a glimpse of my kink and specifically permitted a threesome, did she think letting it fizzle out here would leave something nagging at the back of her mind?

“Besides, if I allow this, Matsuda-kun will treat me even better from now on.”

“Well, yeah...”

“Yeah. I think so too.”

“No, if you don't even give me a chance to speak...”

“You will, won't you?”

“I will, but... I was trying to say that I would treat you well even if you didn't do this...”

“Are you really that dense, Matsuda-kun?”

That instantly snapped me out of my attempt to make excuses.

She was right. The correct move here was to drop the useless chatter and graciously accept Miyuki's angelic mercy.

Her response had come entirely out of her deep consideration for me.

Of course, she might have only said it because our earlier conversation convinced her the chances of me actually sleeping with Chinami were slim to none.

Since it wasn't going to happen anyway, she was telling me to try my heart out.

But even so, just giving me permission to sleep with another woman must have torn her heart to shreds.

And here I was, oblivious to her feelings, tactlessly trying to spout excuses... I was a failure as a harem protagonist.

Seeing Miyuki's reaction earlier must have clouded my judgment, making me assume everything going forward was doomed.

‘Thank you, Miyuki.’

‘Just like you said, I'll treat you even better from now on. And even if a threesome isn't exactly your kink, I'll work hard until you're at least comfortable with the idea.’

Silently passing on my sincere feelings, I hugged Miyuki again, and we shared each other's warmth inside the car for a long time.

The deadline was Christmas.

If I couldn't lead Chinami into a threesome with Miyuki by then, I'd have to consider my harem dreams dead in the water.

Time was tight. Still, I had to pull it off somehow.

If someone asked if I was confident, I wouldn't know what to say.

It was true that Chinami and I were close. I thought getting her into bed would actually go smoothly.

But a harem... no, a threesome was a completely different beast.

Strictly speaking, Chinami and I hadn't built up the same level of deep bonding that Miyuki and I had.

If I just had enough time, I could slowly soften Chinami up and guide her into it, but that wasn't the case...

Even Miyuki, who was stuck by my side every single day, had barely agreed by some stroke of heavenly luck. If I threw the same question at Chinami, the result would be blatantly obvious.

Just to increase my chances, I needed to approach Chinami differently.

Sleeping with her had to come first anyway... I'd just focus on that for now.
