Chapter 152: A Frank Conversation
“Matsuda-kun, I saw something online... They said that couples having frank conversations really helps their relationship. Don't try to handle things all by yourself. Okay?”
Handle things by myself?
Right now, having been caught with porn, that sounded incredibly ambiguous.
I parked the car in front of Miyuki's house and turned to look at her, feigning ignorance.
“What's this all of a sudden?”
“It's nothing. I'm heading in, okay? Take good care of the sticker photos.”
“Yeah. Go on.”
“You're going to shower when you get home, right? I'll video call you in an hour.”
“Got it.”
Before she went inside, Miyuki looked back several times.
It was something she did often... but her expression was different from usual.
There was a hint of anxiety in it.
Like a mother leaving her curious young son alone in the middle of an amusement park.
Does she think I'm going to go home and masturbate right away?
It seems like Miyuki's starting to seriously test me... And since she said she'd video call, I should time it right and play some porn.
Or maybe I should just ignore her calls, make a worried Miyuki come over herself, and then let her see me jerking off?
No, that's going too far.
I mean, she's already given me a handjob, and her love for me is so deep that my affection level probably wouldn't drop no matter what I did, but...
Even without going that far, just getting caught in the act of watching it should create an opportunity for us to have an open conversation.
And I don't want to make things hard for Miyuki.
After returning home, I finished my shower and placed my laptop on the floor mattress.
Then, I put on a threesome porn video and paused it at the most dramatic scene.
The part where one woman is caressing the man's chest from behind, while the other is on the bottom, getting fucked.
This should be enough. Everything's ready.
Bzzzt-!
I was killing time fiddling with my phone when the video call from Miyuki came. I tucked a pillow under my chest, lay on my stomach, and pressed the answer button.
Soon, Miyuki's bare face appeared on the screen.
I was inwardly marveling at how she seemed to glow even without makeup when I bluntly asked.
“Did you shower?”
-Yeah. But you didn't dry your hair properly?
“I just towel-dried it.”
-I told you to dry it properly. If your scalp gets unhealthy, you'll lose your hair later.
“It won't fall out.”
-Can't you just listen?
“Stop nagging and lower the camera a bit.”
-Why?
“Hurry up.”
Miyuki's puzzled expression changed completely.
Looks like she realized I was trying to see her chest.
She let out a long sigh and was about to scold me with a stern face, but then she hesitated.
-.... Matsuda-kun. Have you been feeling... really horny lately?
“What's this all of a sudden?”
-Well... it's just, you telling me to lower the camera like this...
“Is this the first time I've done this?”
-That's true, but... your eyes look more lecherous than usual. Don't just joke around, talk to me seriously.
Is this the right time?
I took out the pillow from under my chest and turned onto my side.
I angled the phone to point up from below, so that about a third of my laptop screen, right behind my shoulder, would show up in a corner of the video feed Miyuki was seeing.
“I'm always like this.”
-Really...? Hmm...
I could see Miyuki's eyes, which had been listening intently while lost in thought, dart to one corner.
And a moment later,
-.... Huh?
A small gasp escaped her lips, as if she'd noticed my setup.
Watching her squint as if trying to get a better look at something, I asked.
“Why?”
-Ah... that's... just a second...
I could see both of Miyuki's shoulders rise.
Proof that she'd raised both her hands. She was probably trying to take a screenshot.
I waited silently for Miyuki to finish.
-Matsuda-kun. What were you just doing?
Hearing the slight drop in Miyuki's voice, I had a feeling she'd zoomed in on the screenshot and figured out exactly what I was doing.
“Talking to you.”
-No... I mean, what were you doing before that.
Now what should I do?
Should I keep playing dumb and be evasive?
Or should I be shameless but honest?
Between the two options, I decided on a compromise.
I'll act as if this whole conversation is awkward. Like it's obvious what I've been up to.
And if Miyuki brings it up, I'll admit it readily.
I shifted my position so the laptop was no longer on screen and answered.
“I was watching something.”
-What were you watching?
“Just... something...”
-Matsuda-kun. You were watching porn, weren't you?
I figure it's okay to admit it now.
My brow twitched. Without a word, I turned my head as if to glance at the open laptop.
Then I swung an arm over to close the laptop before looking back at the screen.
“You saw?”
-Yeah... I saw.
“How embarrassing...”
-No... it's okay to watch stuff... But... Matsuda-kun, do you like that kind of thing?
“What kind of thing.”
-The ones with two women...
“Shut up.”
Miyuki let out a small laugh, perhaps finding it funny how I was subtly avoiding her gaze and giving one-word answers.
-It's fine, so just tell me properly. Or should we talk about it face-to-face tomorrow instead of over the phone?
Wouldn't it be more embarrassing to talk face-to-face?
For you, not me.
“Don't act like a teacher just because you caught me with porn once.”
-What's wrong with it? Are you embarrassed because I'm talking about this?
“Embarrassed? No... It's just awkward because I got caught.”
-You talk about lewd things all the time, Matsuda-kun. So hurry up and tell me. Is that your preference? You just like it, right?
Just like it, huh...
The way she's phrasing that seems to be the same as asking, "You don't actually intend to do it, right?"
Seeing how things are going, persuading her looks like it'll be a little difficult... which is to be expected.
Should I try another method?
No, it hasn't been long since Miyuki caught me with the porn. I should wait and see a bit more.
I wasn't expecting it to be resolved easily anyway.
The fact that she isn't getting angry or showing disapproval, but is calmly asking about her boyfriend's preferences, is a good sign in itself.
So, let's think positively.
“Enough with the useless talk, let's sleep. I'm tired.”
-You look wide awake, though? And what do you mean, useless talk? Talking about things like this is what makes a relationship stronger. Don't you think?
“Be quiet before I go over to your place and pounce on you right now.”
-You can come.
Miyuki provoked me with a playful voice.
It's been a while since she's shown this mischievous side.
I chuckled, propped my phone up horizontally, and pulled the covers up to my chin.
“Going to sleep.”
-You can, but don't hang up. Just leave the call on while you sleep.
“What, are you going to watch me?”
-Why are you so suspicious? I just want to see your face.
“Alright.”
* * *
“Matsuda-kun. You didn't watch that while you were in the shower, did you?”
The first thing she talks about after getting in the car is porn.
She's really something, starting this early in the morning. Though for me, the more Miyuki brings it up, the better.
“How would I watch it in the shower? You want me to get water all over my laptop?”
“I feel like you would've found a way, Matsuda-kun. What did you watch this time? The same one as yesterday?”
“I didn't watch anything. Just put on your seatbelt.”
“Okay.”
And so we went to the academy, getting out of the car together in the parking lot.
Miyuki said she had to go to the student council room for something about the school trip, so I took her bag and started to head to the classroom across the field.
But then, I spotted the back of a familiar-colored head on a bench at the edge of the field and stopped.
A long, navy-blue ponytail.
The only person with that hairstyle is Renka.
What's she doing out there alone in this cold weather?
A grin spread across my face. I muffled my footsteps, crept up to her, and peeked my head out from her side.
“.....”
She was watching something on her phone.
It was a manga. A scene caught my eye where the heroine, tied up in rope bondage, was being whipped by the hero and was dripping wet from down below.
‘That's...’
That's the one I recommended to Renka when we were messaging anonymously.
The work called [Master's Secret]. She was reading it right now.
Completely unaware of who was next to her, showing incredible concentration.
Is it that immersive? All I got from it was that it was hot.
Feeling mischievous, I approached from right behind Renka and stood there silently.
Then, noticing a shadow fall over her, she turned her head.
“Hello?”
Taking that chance, I raised a hand in greeting.
“Hyaaaah!?”
Renka, so startled she nearly fainted, jumped.
She shot up from her seat and asked urgently.
“Wh-what!? What are you doing here...?”
“I saw a familiar back and came to say hi. What were you looking at?”
“Y-You don't need to know...!”
Seeing Renka's reaction, I felt like our situations were overlapping with Miyuki's and mine.
The difference being, of course, that she wasn't caught on purpose and genuinely wanted to hide it.
“Were you watching something dirty?”
“Dirty? What are you talking about...! You think I'm you? And why are you carrying two bags...?”
“One is Miyuki's. Where's Master?”
“At the school store...”
“Ah... so you were waiting for Master here?”
“Something like that... Just go on your way...”
“See you at club activities.”
“Yeah... get lost.”
“Or maybe I'll see you at lunch.”
“I'm definitely not seeing you, so hurry up and disappear.”
Renka waved her hands dismissively, as if shooing away a stray dog.
I wonder if you know that the phone in your hand is still on?
It's even zoomed in... She must have been so flustered that she fumbled with it without thinking to turn off the screen, causing that to happen by accident.
I can see the heroine's nipple.
“Can I come find you in your classroom during break?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“What do you mean, why not? It's no because it's no. Now just go...!”
I stalled for time, making small talk with Renka, and nodded once her phone screen went dark.
“Alright. See you.”
I did you a special favor.
So you'd better listen to me from now on.
Before I have to make you listen.
