Chapter 87 - Advantage to the One Who Takes the Corner (2/2)
“N-no… it’s nothing.”
The board had cleanly returned to its original state. Does she have it completely memorized?
Suri suri, she secretly started rubbing her legs against mine. She does that when she wants to be spoiled, but now is a time to hold back.
We are currently at Hiiragi-chan’s place.
There shouldn’t be any issues, why should I need to hold back? Is it because we’re in the middle of a game that I need to endure?
While nervous, I stretched out my hand, and placed down my piece. At that moment, I flipped a white piece below my palm and turned it black.
Alright. It wasn’t found out.
“…That just now was the third time.”
“!?”
Without speaking to anyone in particular, Hiiragi-chan spoke as if muttering, and then placed down a white piece while flipping a nearby black piece.
She knew about my trickery but didn’t point it out…!? Why? Is there any merit in not pointing out my cheating?
It was my turn, but I couldn’t overturn her lead and it ended in my fourth loss.
“Seiji-kun, three penalties.”
I raised my hand in surrender.
“Sorry. I apologize for moving things out of turn.”
“Fufun… since it’s 3 penalties, 10 times 10 times 10, it becomes 1000 things you like about me.”
“That’s too many! If it’s 3, then shouldn’t it just be 10 times 3?”
Do you really want me to say 1000 things I like about you?
“Seiji-kun, do you really have complaints for me? You were the one who was cheating.”
“Ku…”
“The first time was when I went to make coffee, you turned over 5 pieces near the corner so that it wouldn’t look unnatural.”
S-she’s right…
“Sensei, but still, isn’t 1000 too many?”
Hiiragi-chan, with her tights covered legs still entangled with my legs, started rubbing.
“You won’t say it?”
“If it was at least 100…”
“The second time was four pieces in the top left, and the third time was when you put down your own piece, you flipped over an extra white piece.”
“…”
She perfectly pointed all of them out. It seems that she can see through my cheating quite easily.
Even though you’re usually a little airheaded and sometimes helpless, stop excelling in random places…
She stood up and came over to my side, and lay down on my thighs.
“Give me a princess carry like this.”
“Eh. Like this?”
“What about it?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
So, she was aiming for this when she didn’t point out my cheating. Since it can’t be helped, I put in the effort and lifted Hiiragi-chan up.
“Seiji-kun, you’re so strong.”
With both my arms occupied, Hiiragi-chan was able to kiss me however much she wanted. Giving me love bites, kissing me, she was allowed to do anything she wanted to me. There’s definitely going to be kiss marks left…
“What part of me do you like?”
Reluctantly, I did as I was told.
“The airheaded part of you.”
“Am I really like that…? W-what else?”
“The helpless part of you.”
“I’m not helpless.”
“The part of you where you think of me too much and go too far.”
“Uuu… sorry…”
“Also…”
“Enough is enough.”
“Including all of that, I love you.”
“Seiji-kun, geez!”
Even if I were to stop giving her a princess carry, Hiiragi-chan didn’t seem like she would stop clinging on to me
“Giving me the carrot after the stick. Seiji-kun, you’re such a tease… ♡
I wasn’t made to say a thousand things, but I wasn’t given any right to refuse her kisses. In my heart, I swore that I would never again cheat at Othello.
