chapter 37

Basically, everything has been settled . ”

She shook her head slowly .

“There’s still one more important thing to do…”

“What’s that?”

“Our relationship . ”

“Eh?”

“You should take a break from school, today . Naturally, I’ll do too . ”

“… . Eh?”

“Hey, Morishita-kun?”

“Yeah?”

“Will you walk with me on the beach, now?”

“The beach…?”

Early afternoon on the coastline .

The water’s surface was glittering from the sun shining, and there was a pleasant spring breeze .

Both of us sat on rocks and looked towards the sea .

“Hey, Morishita-kun?”

“What is it, senpai?”

“What’s your favourite food?”

“Ramen… probably?”

She lightly nodded while smiling .

“I also like ramen, you know . Then next time…Would you want to go with me to a ramen restaurant?”

“…Sure . ”

And a moment of silence fell on us .

Abeno-senpai’s silk-like long hair was waving from the sea breeze .

Her white skin even on normal conditions is transparent and now it looked even more when reflected by the surface of the sea .

Her breasts are also impressively big, if she’s quiet then she’s really unimaginably beautiful… and I sighed at thinking that .

“Hey, Morishita-kun?”

“What is it, senpai?”

“It will be summer in several months . Do you hate the sea?”

“No, I don’t hate it . ”

“Well then, what kind of swimwear do you like on girls?”

“Blue and white stripes type . Naturally, bikini . ”

“Then next time… Would you go together with me to buy? Since we’re friends… Let us enjoy the summer vacation together . ”

“… . Yeah . ”

A moment of silence fell .

Since earlier Abeno-senpai has been hard fixated upon gazing at my face .

Big eyes, nasal muscles, deep crimson lips and vibrant white skin . Despite showing signs of mostly no cosmetics, she truly can make some professional actress run for their money .

“Hey, Morishita-kun?”

“It’s in the future . You’re able to have a wife . ”

“Well, it’s better to be able to have than not . ”

“In a situation where you’re newly-wed and deeply in love which one you pick from 『Would you have a bath？ Would you like dinner？ Or perhaps would like to have me？』 when you come back home?”

While thinking about what she was talking… I was tired .

Rather, Senpai’s eccentricity never stopped since the start .

And, in other words I should answer honestly here .

“Would you like to have me?… Is my answer . ”

“Fufu . Honest, are you?”

She nodded satisfied and continued talking .

“Morishita-kun . Well then, next time… Will you come with me to buy condoms, together? Aah, that’s right . At that we shouldn’t forget to preview the love hotels where we would spend our first night . ”

“Oi, you stop right there!”

“Eh…?”

What is she saying? -like feeling Abeno-senpai opened her eyes widely .

“Rather, what are you talking about all of a sudden!?”

“What I’m talking about… I’m talking about sex, of course?”

“A girl must not talk about sex infront of a boy with a cool face!”

Abeno-senpai shrugged .

“Look here, Morishita-kun . ”

“What?”

“I’m a virgin . ”

“Yes, I know that . ”

“That’s right, basically I am—”

Abeno-senpai became silent .

And then took deep breaths and talked .

“Slutty virgin . ”

“And why do you need to pretentiously correct yourself in that point!?”

“Honestly speaking, I had something to think about in this case . ”

“For example?”

“I don’t think things like virginity are that much of a minus in a battlefield considering I’ve been into one . ”

“Well… If you lose to the enemy… There’s also such kinds of things . ”

“If you had lost to the Nine-Tails, Right now… the goblins would’ve been smearing semen on me . ”

“Girls saying such things in front of boys with a cool face is big NO!”

“That’s right . Basically”

Abeno-senpai became silent .

Took deep breaths and then she talked .

“Bukakke as much as one would like . ”

“Is it necessary to correct yourself pretentiously there!?”

“That’s right, it’s already… like an erotic doujin . ”

“The story became graphic!?”

“Well, with such feelings… I thought of throwing virginity . It’s just a deficit . ”

“That perhaps it’s like that . ”

“By the way, If I lose my virginity… I’ll just be slutty, then . ”

“I hate being friends with such people!”

*Fufu* she just laughed while I had a headache .

“You’re a virgin, too… Won’t you quickly throw it?”

“Surprisingly for you, I’m a romanticist . I won’t give my first time to anyone except the person I like . ”

“Does it get easier at the 2nd time and after it?”

“I wonder about that… In the world there are also things such as sex industry . For men… There’s also things that I can’t completely deny . ”

“As I thought… You are a perverted junk without any virtue . ”

“You have no right to say that!?”

“Anyhow, no thank you . First of all, if there was such a girl who would just get it done for convenience sake… I wouldn’t want to throw my virginity nor take some girl’s virginity like that . ”

Abeno-senpai stood up and bent herself towards me who was still sitting on a rock .

And then she grabbed both of my cheeks, and stared directly at my eyes .

It could be said that our faces were distanced by 10 cm’s and her breath tickled my nose .

“Hey, Morishita-kun? I’m saying this to you because I’ve chosen appropriately . ”

“Eh?”

“I’m erotic . That’s right, I’m a slutty virgin . And if my virginity is taken I’m just a slut . No, rather— I’m a bitch . ”

“Bitch… you say?”

She took deep breaths and then nodded as if to affirm it .

“However— Exclusive bitch for you only . ”

“Senpai…? What are you talking about?”

“Well then… Let me say it more clearly . ”

Senpai’s cheeks slightly became red and then—

“Let’s become friends with the premise of marriage . ”

“Your japanese is strange, oi! Why is that we become friends under the premise of marriage!?”

She made a weak expression and had tears in her eyes .

“Hey, Morishita-kun? Do you hate me?”

Not good . Now that I remember… she immediately begins to cry .

Are you confident or timid which one is it… while thinking that I sighed .

“I don’t hate you, I can assure you of that . ”

“Then, what should we do, Morishita-kun?”

Aaa… I looked towards the sky .

At first I was thinking of running away from this insane woman however… Somehow… Before I knew it, I’ve become immobile .

“For now… As I thought we should start from friends…”

“From… friends?”

“For me to go out with you… I need to know a lot more about senpai . That’s why I can’t give you an answer here . However, I’ve considered it seriously, too . ”

「……」

She frowned as she was not satisfied and made her mouth like a duck .

“Senpai? Don’t you know the words more than friends but less than lovers?”

And like a *Paff* she made a smile like she’d been given life .

Her smile was so beautiful that it could’ve been a picture adorned in an art museum .

Surely my heart has been grabbed ahold of Abeno-senpai’s smile in that instant .

“Okay, I understand . Let’s settle on that for today . ”

Settle… That’s not a word you use in a scenery like this—I made a wry smile .

And then I looked at my wristwatch, and gradually it became high time .

“Well, shall we go back now? I’ll walk with you till the station . ”

We stood up and got out of the rocky area and walked side-by side on this sandy beach .

“Hey, Morishita-kun?”

“What is it?”

Abeno-senpai looked at her right hand and made a dissatisfied expression .

“My right hand is lonely . ”

“What do you mean?”

“My, right, hand, is, lonely . ”

And then she pointed at my left hand .

“Is it about… holding hands?”

“Yes, you’ve come to the point . ”

“However, we’re not going out, though?”

“Oh my? Did you not say we were more than friends less than lovers?”

I can’t talk back to that .

I grasped her hand and began walking with her till the station .

Around 5 minutes walking, she stopped at the sight of the station .

“What happened? The station is right over there . ”

She shook her head slowly .

“Let’s walk about one station . ”

“Why?”

“Right now… your hand is really cozy . I want to feel more of your warmth . A reason to walk one station— Can’t that be one?”

“Eh… . ?”

And then we turned right and walked to the next station .

There was a long silence however, Abeno-senpai’s warmth coming from her right hand… is strangely comforting .

“Hey, Morishita-kun? I was really sad from the betrayal of my own father and sister . ”

“Yeah . That’s how it is . ”

“I thought that my chest would burst . However, that right now is worthless . The abolished shinto shrine of the Nine-Tails… At that time and place, you came there solely for the purpose of helping me . And right now, you’re holding hands with me . With just that I am really happy . Right now, this throbbing of my heart— If I had to live my life again, I would surely walk the same path just for this exact moment again . Hey, Morishita-kun? Do you believe me? I’m being serious . The words that I’m about to say to nobody other than you will be truer than any I’ve said so far in my life… No, even if it’s you I won’t repeat them again, so listen very carefully . ”

And then she made a troubled face and began talking while her cheeks were crimson .

“I like you a lot, Morishita-kun . I love you . ”
