Chapter 59: The Gremlin wants to mate!

(Isami POV)

"Today is the day... Today I'm going to get laid!"

"...... Hopefully..."

I mutter to myself, both fists clenched.

Since that day I rented Andy, I've pretty much done everything I could to get closer to him.

I messaged him loads. I even send him good morning and good night messages. 

'And he replies every time! Doesn't that mean he likes me even a little bit?!'

Though it took a lot out of me every time, I regularly ask him out to eat and watch films together! We've done so many home dates that I've lost count!

"Not to mention the way Andy teases me is similar to how Nagatoro-kun teases Senpai!"

Actually- Scratch that! Andy's teasing is even lewder!

*Gloom...*

".... But if I'm just misunderstanding everything, and Andy just wants to be friends, I think I'll jump off a bridge..."

*Ding~ Dong~*

The sound of a doorbell echoed throughout the apartment.

"Eh!?"

I hurriedly take out my phone and look at the time.

"No way- Andy is 10 minutes early! He usually comes exactly on time or a minute after though?!"

*Ding~ Dong~*

"Ahh!! Coming!"

I burst out of my room and rush to the door.

Completely forgetting one thing.

And that is to change into normal underwear.

.

.

"Yahallo, Isami~"  I greeted with a cheeky smile on my face. Casually waving my hand.

Before me stands my cute and funny neighbor Isami. Wearing a box t-shirt and a pair of shorts that are shy of her ankles. 

Overall a comfortable home-look just like mine. Which is a regular shirt and shorts except mine are over my ankles.

She's about a head shorter than me, so I have to look down quite a bit in order to face her.

"H-Hi Andy."  Isami breathed, a couple drops of sweat beading on her forehead.

'Was she exercising just now? Or maybe...'

"Hey, Isami, were you doing something naughty just now? What's up with the sweat?"  I ask shamelessly.

If it was any other person, I wouldn't have dared be this direct, but with Isami? She's actually fine with it.

'Actually, maybe Hina too. Her and Isami are a little similar in how far they let me tease them.'

At my question, Isami's face quickly reddened.

"No- I just ran to get the door cause you came early this time!"  she pleaded.

'Oh, right. I guess I did come early today. Shame. I wanted to tease her about it for a bit longer.'

"Fair enough."  I shrugged. 

"So, ya gonna let me in or are we just gonna keep standing here?"

"A-Ah, right!"

At that realization, Isami stepped aside and let me into her apartment.

The sight of the hallway and the couch in the distance have all become familiar to me from the many times I've visited.

To the point that I'm comfortable enough to call it my second home.

'Even though there's a little goblin here, I don't feel threatened one bit.'  I thought with a quiet chuckle.

After changing to the indoor slippers Isami bought exclusively for me, I walk to her living room and sit down on the couch. My rear and back resting on the familiar cushions.

'I've really gotten comfortable in Isami's place, haven't I?'

Looking at it from Isami's perspective, it must look like I'm treating her as a friend or maybe subtly hinting that I like her.

'Knowing Isami, it's probably the latter. So then why hasn't she done anything, yet? Is she scared she's just misunderstanding? That might be it.'

Having finished locking the door, Isami walks over to the TV and begins setting up the movie she wants to watch with me.

While she does that, I gaze at her petite form and go into thought.

'I've been thinking about this for a very long time, but I think I want to go out with Isami.'

She's cute, funny, and a blast to tease. Oh, and maybe her girl-failure charm is playing a part too. It might be why I get this feeling of wanting to take care of her.

'I don't always see it, but when I see her eating my homecooked meals, I get this distinct feeling of satisfaction that's different from mom and Hina.'

Yet, there's also a part of me that calls me shameless for wanting a 4th girlfriend. Which is why I haven't made a move either.

Though it's mostly from the influence of my past life's memories in an alternate world, I don't entirely disagree with it.

'It might be cowardly of me, but I want Isami to be the one to make a move. That way, I won't have to deal with this dilemma further.'

As for my current girlfriends, I've already asked them if they're okay with me getting a 4th.

Mom and Hina, who are already familiar with Isami, were mostly okay with it. Though mom did say she felt Isami isn't worthy.

As for Karina...

"Another rival, huh? Hm... Looking at her face, she looks below average, but if you like her that much, then I'm fine with it Andy. Ah, but no more after this, okay? Otherwise I might get the idea of locking you up somewhere only I know..."

A chill ran down my spine as I recalled Karina's threat.

Not out of fear, but a strange sense of arousal.

'Maybe I should ask Karina to tie me up after our first time...'

"Andy?"

"Huh- Yeah?"

At Isami's call, I snap back into reality.

Finishing the setup, Isami was now sitting beside me. Though the distance between us leaves much to be desired.

"Is... something on your mind?"  Isami asked with a little hesitation in her voice.

"Yeah, but it's not anything important."  I say, lightly shaking my head.

"So, what's the movie we're gonna watch?"  I ask, moving the conversation forward.

Isami nods.

"It's the new Miku film. The Miku Who Can't Sing."

At the reveal of the title, my eyes widened with pleasant surprise.

"Really? I didn't expect there to be DVDs out of it already."

At my comment, a smug smile appeared on Isami's face.

"Heheh! I got this from a special source I found by chance!"  she openly bragged. 

The rare sight of Isami bragging was adorable as always.

'But a DVD release before the theatrical release? Sounds suspicious...'

As for the existence of Hatsune Miku even in a reverse world, she is simply one of the very few beings who seem to transcend worlds. 

Being the exact same as she was in my old world instead of getting gender swapped.

"And... let's begin!"  Isami announced, pressing a button on the remote.

But even after that, the screen displayed a black screen for several seconds.

'So it's a fake after all.'

"Seems you got sca-"

Suddenly, a noise echoed from the speakers.

An oddly familiar jingle that went something like "doo doo doooo" ✨️

And what appeared on the screen was a logo that read King Bee.

"Huh? King Be-"

"AHHHHHHH!!!!!"  Isami screamed at the top of her lungs and hurriedly reached for the remote. Stumbling and falling off the couch as she did.

Meanwhile on the screen after the logo disappeared was-

*Plap! Plap! Plap!*

A man and a woman having sex.

"Ah- Ah! Nakamura sensei! Please stop!"  The young man pleaded. His uniform is fully unbuttoned, pants resting by his ankles.

Despite his words, the young man's face is flushed red as sensual moans left his lips.

The naked woman, seemingly in her 40s judging by the wrinkles on her face, was riding her student as he sat on a chair you commonly see in a school setting.

But before it could go any further, Isami finally managed to turn off the TV.

"Ha... haa..."

Isami stood there, back turned to me as she broke down in a nervous sweat.

Slowly, she turned to me. Neck creaking like rusty gears.

Isami stares at me. Mouth hanging agape as she desperately searched for words to explain what just happened.

And amidst that, I-

"Do you wanna try that?"  I ask as a joke. Teasing her like usual. Except...

*THUD!*

"Huh?"

Isami didn't take it as a joke.

In a flash, she lunged at me. Her hands gripping the backrest as she straddles me between her legs.

"C-C-C-C-Can we?!"  Isami stammered. Her face flushed red like a tomato while her expression can only be described as a nervous wreck 

"Umm...."

'Did I just provoke her..?'
