Vol 12 Chapter 2 (1/2)

Chapter 02: A heartfelt Duplicate Key

…Ah, such a nice dream. I thought so with still drowsy eyes.

An unusual sweet fragrance hung over the bed. I was sleeping with my cheek on the pillow, which gave off a pleasant fragrance, whereupon my shoulders were lightly shaken. When I opened my eyelids,

“Ehm, good morning, Master <>

My vision fell onto a girl with cool and finely chiselled features. For some reason, Gogyou Hijiri was wearing maid clothes and her prideful black hair sparkled from the morning sun. She smiled shyly.

“Breakfast is served. Please get up soon, Master.”

“…Good night, Maid.”

“Ehh!? Such a weak reaction!? That’s not what Kaoru-san promised me!”

Apparently even the Hijiri in my dream was being tricked by Kaorun. She made a slightly surprised voice and mumbled about something like “Guess I have to do that to please him after all…”. I had my eyes closed and this time she called out to me with a bashful voice from above my head.

“s.h.i.+n.o.bu-kun--- No, I mean, Master, if you do not get up soon, I will do something amazing.”

“This situation itself is already amazing. I have nothing to fear anymore. Thanks for the sweet dream.”

But soon I would have to wake up from this dream. Or so I thought, but today’s dream seemed rather long. Hijiri’s voice still reached my ears.

“…I’ll really do it, you know? Just to tell you, I’m really embarra.s.sed too.”

“Throw away your shame, Babe.”

I replied a bit cool now. I could do so precisely because it was a dream. I felt somewhat satisfied, whereupon I suddenly received a squishy soft sensation on both my cheeks. Moreover, these two round things started to move bouncing on my face.

Warm and abundant swellings. A balmy fragrance like flowers tickling my nasal cavities. And Hijiri’s voice coming from above again was extremely bewitching with moans mixed in with it.

“Mm… Master, if you do not get up… Hah… I’ll get more vehement.”

“---Come on.”

“I, I don’t know why you’re using English, but okay. This is just like Kaoru-san predicted. This makes you happy, right s.h.i.+n.o.bu-kun— I mean, Master? Then I’ll be more vehement now.”

Along with a somewhat animated voice, the bewitching vibrations became stronger and a sweet sensation dashed over my whole face.

“Uah… Somehow, I’m starting to feel good… too… Hah… What about you, Master? Does it… Ahh… feel good for you?”

An inexpressible feeling for sure. This dream was way too sweet. I could feel an incredible elasticity from the voluminous round swellings and I inadvertently wanted to enjoy the warm sensation of these swellings some more. When I modestly nuzzled my face against them,

“Hahn… Mastah… I’m servicing you… so don’t move… Yahn…”

Even though I had only moved my face a tiny bit, the soft swelling trembled writhing on both my cheeks, then slowly got away from me.

Aw, over already? When I opened my eyelids regretfully, there were absorbing huge b.r.e.a.s.t.s in front of the tip of my nose. Oh. Hijiri had shaken her b.r.e.a.s.t.s on my face while I was sleeping on the bed, huh. No wonder it felt so pleasant.

However, I timidly looked up to Hijiri while opening my eyes wide.

“…Hijiri? Watcha doing?”

“G- Giving you a Puff Puff, Master.”

“—Once more please.”

This must be a dream for sure. There was no way Hijiri would say “Puff Puff” with a red face like that. Since this was a dream, I excitedly put up my index finger with the request, but unfortunately a continuation didn’t come. Hijiri knitted her eyebrows troubled, fixed her posture and looked at me.

“Uhm, are you still not quite awake? Usually you get all bashful too, s.h.i.+n.o.bu-kun…”

“Aw, no more calling me Master? Quite the unsympathetic dream.”

“I- It pains me to see you so disappointed, but you must be hungry. Breakfast is all done, so get up now, okay?”

Gently pulling away my blanket, I straightened up my upper body with Hijiri’s help and looked around again while sitting on the edge of the bed with a yawn. I spotted cute accessories and decorative plants, obviously this wasn’t my own room. This should be Kaorun’s room, if I wasn’t mistaken.

However, how did I end up here? When I stared in puzzlement on this cloudy situation, Hijiri rested her hand on my shoulder with a giggle.

“s.h.i.+n.o.bu-kun, please recall yesterday— wait, don’t go back to sleep. What about breakfast? Both Kaoru-san and Hisame-chan are waiting, you know?”

Giving me a fair warning, Hijiri moderately shook my shoulders, but I was strangely sleepy and closed my eyes again while I absent-mindedly recalled the last day like she told me to…

…Could I get friendlier with Hisame-chan from now on?

The orange sunlight shone into the Gogyou Dojo. Conducting my exorcist training there by myself, I recalled the earlier happening and made a small sigh.

A gentle evening. At the return to the Gogyou Mansion, Kaorun exchanged warm words with Hisame-chan. I had watched over them and then Kaorun took my arm to introduce me to Hisame-chan.

But apparently Hisame-chan had previously heard about me from Kaorun.

“I saw you in a picture that Kaoru-sama carries around with her. You are Nanjou-sama, correct? I heard that you are a manly gentleman that not only has Hijiri-sama as his lover, but Kaoru-sama as well. Kaoru-sama was happily telling me: ‘s.h.i.+n.o.bu-sama is my one and only.’ In other words— You are my enemy!”

As soon as she recognized me, she suddenly gave me a declaration of war. I thought about breaking the ice first.

“Oh, jealous? You don’t have to worry about that. I won’t take your beloved Kaorun away.”

I gave my idea of a mature reaction, but she was either embarra.s.sed about me hitting a sore spot or simply scared… as she totally snarled at me.

Amidst that, Kaorun gave her a weird advice of “Hisame-chan, if you are going to bite him, you better make it play-biting” and during the self-introduction after that, Hisame-chan kept giving me a pa.s.sionate scowl with an inexpressiveness face… I was really worried if I could hit it off with her from now on.

But I renewed my spirits and thought about doing some training since I was already here before going home, so I visited the Gogyou Dojo and thus was conducting my training like this now.

…But thinking back on it now, I could have gone back to my normal life with Luna if I had simply went home back then. While I diligently trained, Sougo-san suddenly showed up in the Dojo. With an expression of mixed feelings, he said isolated while looking at me.

“You’re… Itsuki-san’s son alright.”

Itsuki was the name of my father. But I never expected to hear it from Sougo-san, so I blinked my eyes a bit, whereupon he called out to me surprised.

“…Hijiri told you nothing?”

Being asked that made me remember. Previously Hijiri told me that Sougo-san had been surprised about me not taking over my grandfather’s dojo and starting exorcist training. He must be familiar with our family. While recalling the contents of my conversation with Hijiri quite a while ago, I casually replied to Sougo-san.

“Reminds me, that stupid and random father of mine is your friend, isn’t he?”

“Unfortunately he is. Nowadays we’re just quarrelling, but in the past we often let our fists speak. That said, Itsuki-san wasn’t just talented in martial arts, he also has a gift for exorcism. As a result, I never won against him even once.”

“Let’s go beat up that idiot together next time— Is what I would like to say, but seeing as he has a talent for exorcism, he must know about the exorcists.”

“Because the Nanjou family is originally a branch family with exorcist roots. Your grandfather is informed too, not just Itsuki-san. They even worked as exorcists once.”

I never heard anything from my father or grandfather. Why didn’t they tell me? While I became doubtful, Sougo-san knitted his eyebrows a bit and opened his mouth.

“I’m sure he didn’t tell you out of parental love. The exorcist work is dangerous after all. Without doubt he didn’t want you to get dragged into it. Anyway, Itsuki-san always did what he wanted like not taking over the family dojo, seducing female devils during work or trying to make them his lovers…”

Interjecting a sigh in the middle of his sentence, Sougo-san knitted his eyebrows even deeper.

“The next thing I hear from him at the wedding with his wife is ‘I’m quitting the exorcist job! I don’t wanna work anymore! I never wanna work again! I’ll be Tomoe’s pimp!’. To the bitter end, he only cracked jokes without being serious once, so I can’t deal with him. He’s a fool beyond help.”

“I guess we really should beat up that idiot together next time?”

Sougo-san showed a pale expression, but his words were somewhat filled with warmth. So he replied to my joke with “I’ll think about it” and a serious expression, then continued with “By the way” just like that.

“That fool called me the other day.”

“Called you? Even though he rarely calls or texts anyone expect my mother or sister?” with that I asked back surprised, whereupon Sougo-san showed a wry smile and nodded short.

“I’m sure he was worried about you. I don’t know where he heard it from, but he apparently knew about you getting exorcist training here. But it seems like he doesn’t want you to become an exorcist after all. He yelled at me angrily as soon as I picked up the phone.”

“…I’m getting a bad feeling, but what did he say?”

“I think he spouted something like ‘b.a.s.t.a.r.d! How do you dare to s.n.a.t.c.h away my beloved s.h.i.+n.o.bu-kun! Give him back at once or I’ll set your house on fire, d.a.m.nit!’.”

“I think that was his idea of a joke?”

“Of course I know that, but I go way back with him, so I reflexive answered with ‘Go die, Sc.u.m!’ and then ended up telling him everything about you.”

It might be that Sougo-san quite liked my father. As he remembered his exchange with my father over the phone, he looked up to the ceiling of the dojo and showed a faint smile on a rare occasion.

“Still, Itsuki-san is treasuring you a lot. After hearing me out, he joshed with ‘Then my s.h.i.+n.o.bu-kun is living with a devil right now!? That’s not good! I have to return at once! Though I actually only want to see Tomoe. Tehe~’ and hung up.”

“Next time he calls, please ask him ‘When will you die at last?’… Oh, right, didn’t you say I’m my father’s son alright when you came in? What did you mean by that?”

I felt my own expression getting somewhat stiff, whereupon Sougo-san averted his eyes from me a bit awkwardly and opened his mouth hesitantly.

“Well, I thought at first that you don’t resemble him. Because you’re sincere, unlike him. But well, you got a gift for exorcism too and like to joke around as well… And you’re a natural gigolo like Itsuki-san.”

“Uhm, excuse me if I sound rude, but may I smack you on the head?”

“…Itsuki-san was often cracking a joke like that too. And he often attracted the affection of women. Just like you.”

Personally, I wanted to think differently. But Sougo-san said with mixed feelings again.

“Earlier in the living room, Kaoru happily told me how nicely you treated her when she stayed at your house. Hisame was present too and got a bit sullen, you know?”

“…Sounds like she’ll snarl at me again.”

“I’m afraid I can’t deny that. Actually, I’m off to work again now. I’ll be gone for two or three days with my wife, but when I told Kaoru about it, she asked a favour of me.”

“It’s rare for Kaorun to ask a favour.”

Most likely Kaorun was fawning on Sougo-san too. While giving an agreeable response, I felt my cheeks forming a faint smile, whereupon Sougo-san lightly shrugged his shoulders for some reason and continued with a sigh.

“To requote her: ’I am worried about leaving no man in the house. I would like to have s.h.i.+n.o.bu-sama stay over while you are away. There is a possibility that he will turn me down, so please ask him for me, Papa Sougo. Come on, please hurry up already. It is a favour for your cute daughter’.”

“Haha, you sure have it tough too. Then I’ll excuse myself now. A blonde lady and a happy family are waiting for me at home…”

Swiftly turning on my heels, I tried to go home in an escape, but Sougo-san grabbed my shoulder from behind with “Wait, Nanjou-kun”.

“I’m sure Kaoru wants to thank you somehow for taking care of her. Besides, Hijiri had sparkles in her eyes too. I don’t want to disappoint my daughters and I believe it’s fine to entrust them to you. So I ask you to grant Kaoru’s wish, please. I beg you, Nanjou-kun, no— s.h.i.+n.o.bu-kun.”

“I, I don’t know why you’re suddenly calling me by my first name, but I see that you’re an unexpected doting parent. Well, I don’t mind if it’s only for a few days.”

There was no way I could turn him down when he was lowering his head. Still, she was worried about having no man in the house… Just what was Shuu-kun then? To be honest, I felt rather doubtful, but I resisted to retort and decided to take on Sougo-san’s request…

Still sitting on the bed with my eyes closed, yesterday’s memories went by in my only half-awake head while Hijiri in maid clothes gently shook my shoulders.

After the Dojo, I had went to the living room and told the members of the Gogyou Family that I would be staying over for a few days, whereupon Hijiri had shown a bright smile, Hisame-chan had made a slightly displeased expression, Shuu-kun had shown a bitter expression with “I’m a man, you know? So you have a man in the house, right?” and Kaorun had left for somewhere as soon as she had heard my words.

But it seems that she went to my house. When she came back, she had a bag with my change of clothes and apparently even told Luna and the others about my circ.u.mstances versed.

Afterwards, next to dinner and a bath, I played a game in Kaorun’s game until late at night upon her invitation, so I had fallen asleep without even noticing it. Maybe I had even slept together with Kaorun?

I didn’t clearly remember that part. I felt a bit regretful. When such thoughts crossed my mind, Hijiri moderately shook my shoulders and called out to me hesitant.

“s.h.i.+n.o.bu-kun, if you don’t get up already, then, well… I’ll change your clothes of my own accord.”

“Take my socks off lastly.”

“Ehm, I would say the socks come first of all… Ah, you were sleeping with your socks on! Please wait a moment. I’ll properly do it for you.”

…What was she going to do?

A bit curious, I opened my drowsy eyes, whereupon my vision fell on Hijiri still in her maid clothes. She formally sat down on the spot with grace. Next she took my foot, as she was going to take off my socks, and lead it onto her thighs.

…In no time, my foot ended up on Hijiri’s thigh. Feeling the elastic sensation of her thigh on the back of my foot, my sleepiness was blown away at once.

“Hijiri, I’m feeling bad about this. You don’t have to go this far. Or rather, this manner is…”

“Kaoru-san taught me. I don’t really get it, but boys prefer it this way, right? Don’t worry about me and fully rest your foot on my thigh.”

Then I would truly step onto her thigh. I wasn’t so shameless that I could do such a feast. But still, first the maid clothes, then the breast squeezing. Most likely Kaorun talked her into something weird again.

But Hijiri herself made a face like she was happy about taking care of me, and gently slipped off the sock from my foot on her soft thigh in a somewhat pleased mood. It made me afraid to stop her.

However, being serviced by a cool beauty like Hijiri made me rather restless or more like my heart was making flips… Either way, it didn’t change the fact that it was embarra.s.sing.

Indifferent to these feelings of mine, Hijiri remained seated after taking off the socks on both my feet, and suddenly flushed her cheeks for some reason. She touched my thigh caressingly with her slender fingertips, only to then look at me with an upturned glance, whispering quietly.

“…s.h.i.+n.o.bu-kun, I’ll do this properly too.”

“Be gentle— As if. What do you even want to take my pants off for? I don’t remember raising you as such a lewd… wait, reminds me, weren’t you a sullen pervert?”

“I, I wasn’t trying to do anything weird! Please don’t get the wrong idea! I’m just changing your clothes! Even Luna-san does it for you every morning, right!?”

“Nah, not at all. Luna isn’t that extreme.”

She just often woke me up by play-biting my ear. I added so in thought, whereupon Hijiri raised an agitated voice even while blinking her eyes in surprise.

“But Kaoru-san told me ‘I saw it at s.h.i.+n.o.bu-sama’s house. Luna-san was waking up s.h.i.+n.o.bu-sama by giving him a Puff Puff breast squeeze while wearing maid clothes, and even helped him to get changed. Moreover! During the evening bath, she washed his back with her huge b.r.e.a.s.t.s. You cannot let her beat you, Hijiri-chan.’.”

“…After hearing this, what were you going to do in the evening bath?”

“Kaoru-san pointed it out too, but it’s not really genuine when I do the exact same as Luna-san, right? Therefore, well— I’ll wash your chest with my b.r.e.a.s.t.s! It’s embarra.s.sing, but I’ll do my best!”

“S- So bold. I don‘t dislike that characteristic. But just how much do you love Koarun? I know that you want to trust your older sister, but you better doubt her a little bit.”

When I told her somewhat gentle, Hijiri turned even redder and looked down with her hands still on my pants.

“Then… Kaoru-san was lying to me after all?”

“Mh? Wait a sec. What you mean by ‘after all’? So you too were kinda aware of it? That means, you actually just wanted to do something perverted to me after all…”

“N- No, s.h.i.+n.o.bu-kun! I only thought it was something Luna-san would do!”

Apparently losing her cool, Hijiri jerkily pulled on my pants with a red face.

“I only wanted to please you… But now that you mentioned it, it seems like it was only for my pleasure so far. Wh- What should I do, s.h.i.+n.o.bu-kun? I guess I’m more perverted than I thought?”

…Only so much that you would lay hands on my pants right now. Thus I can’t deny it. Swallowing down a joke like that, I reached out my hand for Hijiri and petted her head in an apology for teasing her. Upon that, Hijiri seemed to calm down a bit, flushed her cheeks and smiled faintly.

But on a closer look, this posture was extremely risky. Hijiri, still sitting formally on the floor, leaned her cheek against my thigh with her hands on my pants while I sat on the bed. And I was petting her head like that. An outsider would misunderstand this situation for sure. I should separate myself from Hijiri as soon as possible.

Like that, I got a bit impatient in my heart, whereupon the door suddenly yanked open without even a knock and an inexpressive girl aka Hisame-chan came inside right away. As soon as she did so,

“s.h.i.+n.o.bu-sama, how long do you intend to sleep in Kaoru-sama’s bed? The breakfast Kaoru-sama made will get—”

Hisame-chan started to speak displeased at once, but when she noticed our situation, her eyes widened and her inexpressive face turned bright red, as she might still be innocent. Turning on her heels, she raised a hysteric voice while rus.h.i.+ng out into the hallway.

“K- Ka- Kaoru-sama! Hijiri-sama is being indecent! So very indecent! Nanjou-sama is holding back a disgusted look, yet Hijiri-sama tried to forcefully remove his pants! To think the all so gentle Hijiri-sama would be actually so indecent—!”

“Ehh!? H- Hisame-chan! That’s going too far! It’s a misunderstanding! An incredible misunderstanding! Please don’t report weird things to Kaoru-san!”

Hastily raising a falsetto voice, Hijiri ran out into the hallway in chase after Hisame-chan.

In regards, I laid down on the pillow once more and went back to sleep to escape reality— Nah, if I were to do that, Hisame-chan might snarl at me again. Feeling a chill, I swiftly stood up, dressed myself quickly and went to the living room of the Gogyou Mansion…

In a way, it was like a dreamy state even after waking up.

Breakfast time in the living room of the Gogyou Mansion. Lined up on the table were steaming white rice, clear miso soup with wakame seaweed, fish with an aromatic fragrance and somewhat charred omelettes. And in my field of vision were three girls in maid clothes: Hijiri, Kaorun and Hisame-chan.

Well, in Hijiri’s case it was a cosplay instigated by Kaorun, but it wasn’t all too bad to be surrounded by maids. Inadvertently forming a faint smile, I talked big while nodding short.

“Mhm, if Luna were here too, it would be heaven.”

“…s.h.i.+n.o.bu-sama, I can understand that you are lonely without your beloved Luna-san, but please only have eyes for us now and make do with only us.“

While hitting my sore point, Kaorun lightly slapped my cheeks somewhat sulking.

“I want to take you to heaven as a thanks for taking care of me the other days. Taking advantage of Papa Sougo’s leave, I will service you plentiful, okay? Please look forward to it. For starters, let us take a bath together tonight.”

“Haha, can’t wait for it. But next to you, a scary girl is glaring at me, you know? Seems that scary girl will snarl at me again, so I’ll pa.s.s, sorry.”

“Scary girl? There is no one of this description here. Next to me is only a cute girl from whom we seemingly can expect adorable contractions in her exhibited characteristics in the future. She even helped me out with cooking this morning, you know? Even if Hisame-chan snarls at you, please forgive it with a smile.”

“You’re pretty soft on her. Just like this omelette.”

I believed that Hisame-chan helping out with the cooking meant that she made this lightly charred omelette. Even while I replied with a sigh to Kaorun, I ate that omelette and smiled with “So good”, whereupon Hisame-chan lightly flushed her cheeks and jerkily pulled on the sleeve of Kaorun’s clothes.

“…Kaoru-sama, what should I do if Nanjou-sama asks me ‘Cook for me every morning’ now?”

“Please sink your teeth into his carotid artery with a smile then.”

“—I understand. I will do so and not stop until he cries.”

What a scary conversation. Moreover, Hisame-chan’s eyes were serious. I looked at Hijiri next to me for help, but she looked somewhat sleepy and when she noticed my gaze, she seemed to get the wrong idea, as she smiled sweetly and dropped her gaze onto the fish.

“Should I take out the bones for you?”

“—After that I’ll feed it to you mouth-by-mouth. I wuv you, s.h.i.+n.o.bu-kun <>

Must have been her usual joke. Kaorun interjected with an imitation of Hijiri. On the other hand, Hisame-chan inexpressively rocked her eyes upon hearing that, as she was innocent after all, and quickly averted her eyes from us.

“…I will keep my eyes shut, so please do not mind me and enjoy yourself to your heart’s content.”

“Nah, not really working if you say it with a red face like that. Anyway, stop it, Kaorun. We have a little girl present here.”

“I, I am not little!”

I might have stepped on a landmine. Hisame-chan unusually exposed emotions and shouted at me with a glare.

“Sure, it may appear small at times! But they will grow bigger from now on! They will be all bouncy! Just wait, they will definitely become as big as Kaoru-sama’s!”

While shouting, Hisame-chan dropped her gaze onto her own chest and made a rather bitter expression. Looking at her humble chest, I cheered her on with “Don’t lose hope” in my heart, whereupon Kaorun fiercely glared at me for some reason.

“s.h.i.+n.o.bu-sama, what is up with these eyes saying ’The developing type isn’t bad either. Let’s do it the Hikari Genji way. Nibble me all you want, my green fruit’. I will not forgive you if you lay hands on Hisame-chan. If you want to lay hands on someone, please make it me. Or rather, why are you not laying hands on me!”

“Hisame-chan sure’s fond of you. Even though you’re a full throttle perverted maid just like right now.”

“Kaoru-sama is not a perverted maid!”

As I ended up stepping on another landmine, Hisame-chan temporarily stopped her words, then continued with a louder voice.

“---Kaoru-sama is a h.o.r.n.y b.i.t.c.h!”

“Even worse! What’s wrong with you! Even Kaorun’s crying now!”

When I inadvertently retorted at full power, even the sleepy Hijiri widened her eyes and Kaorun had indeed teary eyes, but Hisame-chan tilted her head puzzled.

“I previously heard on TV that a h.o.r.n.y b.i.t.c.h is an incredible woman, who is popular with men, though… Could it be, that is wrong?”

For her own sake, I should properly tell her now without brus.h.i.+ng it off. I told her the meaning of the word h.o.r.n.y b.i.t.c.h with a gentle tone, but as soon as she heard it, she became totally crestfallen… and things got a bit awkward.

Kaorun petted her head to console her. Being glared at by Hisame-chan again, I made an heartfelt apology, then brought up a subject to Kaorun to change the atmosphere.

“A- Anyway, where’s Shuu-kun? I haven’t seen him today yet.”

“He is… currently living in a park now, I guess?”

“Why’s he suddenly homeless! Don’t tell me you chased him out?”

“I would not do something so cold-hearted. I was joking about the park. This morning he left with lowered shoulders saying ‘I lost the DVD I borrowed from my friend. Ah, but it’s not a S&M DVD or anything! There’s no dominatrix appearing or so, so rest a.s.sured! But to make up for the DVD, I have to work as a butler at the house of my friend for a while’.”

…Oh my G.o.d. I had a clue about the DVD Shuu-kun mentioned. The day before yesterday, when we infiltrated the Gogyou Mansion, Kaorun should have seized a S&M DVD from the fainted Shuu-kun.

While recalling this sad memory, I faced Kaorun wearily.

“You haven’t given that DVD back to him yet?”

“Ah, no, there are unavoidable and painful circ.u.mstances to it. I will tell you all about it, so uhm… please do not get angry, okay?”, after empathizing on that part, Kaorun started talking with a sigh. About the reason why she couldn’t return the DVD to Shuu-kun…

It happened yesterday at dusk. When I heard that my beloved s.h.i.+n.o.bu-sama would stay over at our house, I went in high spirits to the Nanjou house with the car. Next I explained the circ.u.mstances to everyone in the Nanjou Household with a smile, so that I could borrow some change of clothes for s.h.i.+n.o.bu-sama. Incidentally, everyone was incredible depressed upon hearing it and while I feel terrible sorry about it, that is not important now.

After giving my regards to Luna-san and the others, I secretly infiltrated s.h.i.+n.o.bu-sama’s room. Since I was already there, I should go home after I got a hit off my favourite smell. I rested my cheek on my favourite pillow from s.h.i.+n.o.bu-sama and after forgetting about the time for a while, I took out a DVD from my pocket.

It was the light S&M DVD that Shuu-kun was holding onto last night. I did not remember raising my little brother into a S&M lover, but I was glad that I secretly brought it with me then. I should place this under s.h.i.+n.o.bu-sama’s bed now.

I was certain that s.h.i.+n.o.bu-sama would give me the usual sweet abuse and then smile at me with “There‘s no help for you.“ without doubt when noticing my prank.

As a matter I fact, I happened to love that smile to no end. While imagining s.h.i.+n.o.bu-sama’s smile, I quickly tried to hide the DVD under his bed, but it seems my delusions took too much of my attention, as I did not notice her presence. The door suddenly opened and Luna-san showed up.

I thought my delicate heart would stop beating. Well, Luna-san widened her eyes as well, but suddenly a certain premonition swept over my mind and I called out to Luna-san rebuking.

“Seems you are natural erotic after all. Making use of s.h.i.+n.o.bu-sama’s absence, you planned to do perverted things on his bed, correct? I cannot approve of that.”

“W- Wh- Wha- What are you saying, Kaoru-san! Sure, I am lonely without s.h.i.+n.o.bu-san! But I only wanted to lay down a bit on his bed! Anyway, what are YOU doing here…” with that, Luna-san blushed fl.u.s.tered, but as soon as she looked down onto my hands, she turned bright red this time.

“K- Kaoru-san, did you… find that beneath s.h.i.+n.o.bu-san’s bed?”

“…Want to see it?”

“No, I should not wilfully take a--- wait, S&M!?”

It was a bad habit of mine. Her fl.u.s.tered appearance was just so cute that I ended up teasing her.

Slowly standing up, I showed her the cover of the DVD, whereupon Luna-san coloured herself surprised here and there, but she would surely forgive me if I apologized and cleared up the misunderstanding later on. So I proudly cracked a joke at once.

“Luna-san, each person has it’s own tendencies or tastes. Even if s.h.i.+n.o.bu-sama is fascinated by S&M, please treat him like you always have. That said, I could gladly offer him my a.s.sistance in his S&M plays at any time and any place.”

“Even I--- will gladly partic.i.p.ate in the S&M play!”

“A- An unexpected opposition!?”

That was beyond my expectation. However I could not back down. If this girl with the soothing aura at maximum, would even dominate the abnormal parts… then my character would fade into the background. Cladding myself in composure, I called out to her persuading.

“Luna-san, please think about it carefully. It is S&M, you know? Dominatrix and all, you know? Is that not too much for a soothing character like yourself? Please leave that kind of field to me and pleasure s.h.i.+n.o.bu-sama in a different way.”

“Th- That will not do! I also want to satisfy s.h.i.+n.o.bu-san with the best method and make him smile at me! Even I can be a dominatrix! Please watch me!”
