Chapter 310: On a Rainy Day, Under a Tree
“Hey, you students! Over here for a moment!”
Miyuki was at the school gate, busily calling over the new students.
Perhaps because of her experience during the winter semester, she handled them quite naturally, with a subtle air of authority.
Thinking that Miyuki was finally acting like a true student council member, I let the other members guarding the gate check me before entering the academy.
After parking, I was crossing the school grounds and carefully observing the area outside the gate when I saw a welcome face.
Hiyori was coming in with Miho.
They're always joined at the hip. Both of their faces were full of life.
They must be excited about academy life.
Keeping my distance so as not to disturb the busy Miyuki, I approached the gate and watched as Miyuki spotted Hiyori and called out to her urgently.
“Asahina!”
“Yep?” Hiyori answered brightly, as always.
It felt like déjà vu from the beginning of the winter semester, except that Miyuki knew Hiyori's name.
“Is it about my skirt length?”
At Hiyori's question, Miyuki nodded with a smile.
“Yeah, that's right. I saw you during the winter, but just in case...”
“You haven’t forgotten, have you?”
“You were the only one who got caught for it.”
“Oh, really...?”
I don't know why Hiyori looked so pretty with that sheepish smile.
“Hmm...”
Miyuki murmured, carefully examining Hiyori's uniform skirt.
Even though it was clearly just slightly above her knees, there seemed to be something suspicious about it. Miyuki narrowed her eyes and stared intently at the hem.
After inspecting Hiyori's uniform for a while, Miyuki finally nodded.
“It's borderline... but I guess this is acceptable.”
Hiyori beamed at that and asked, “Thank you! Can I go now?”
“Yeah.”
“I'm not on your list, am I?”
“You're saying the same thing as last time, huh? I can see why you'd think that, but no. I've checked you today, so you don't have to worry anymore.”
“Oh, really?”
Hiyori's expression became incredibly meaningful.
Her eyes looked as if she'd found a loophole in Miyuki's words.
But Miyuki was too busy with the other students to notice that glint in Hiyori's eyes.
“Well then... keep up the good work.”
As Hiyori and Miho bowed, Miyuki barely acknowledged their farewell and replied.
“Right. See you. Pay attention in your first class.”
“Yep.”
Once inside the gate, Hiyori said something to Miho.
And after hearing her, Miho let out a light sigh.
With a look that seemed to say... she's impossible.
It looks like she's about to cause some minor trouble... I'm curious.
It feels like a bit of tension is being added to my otherwise peaceful life, and my heart is pounding a little.
As I was about to head back to the classroom, this morning's little happening leaving a question in my mind, I spotted Renka walking ahead of me.
She was walking with a small bag on her shoulders. I snuck up behind her and tapped her on the shoulder.
“Captain.”
“Eek...!”
Even though she sensed my presence, Renka didn't turn around and instead quickened her pace.
I chuckled at her refreshing reaction and raised my voice slightly to call out to her as she tried to get ahead.
“Hey.”
At that, Renka's steps faltered.
But that was it. She didn't get angry, just started walking quickly away from me again.
It seems she decided to just pretend she didn't hear me.
Is it because I've pushed her around so much? Or is it because she's gotten so into spanking lately?
She'd been subtly ignoring me during the break, and it's the same now.
And yet, before and after we sleep together, and when she's being 'Ino-chan,' she messes around with me all the time. She's so easy to read.
I caught up to Renka in a few long strides and asked.
“Are you going to keep ignoring me like this?”
“.....”
“You want your ass spanked again?”
“Aish...! Be quiet...!”
She finally turned her head to glare at me.
She even glanced around, looking troubled, before letting out a deep sigh.
“Haa... Why are you making a scene calling out to me?”
“What are you doing?”
“Going to the classroom. Can't you tell?”
“Where's Master?”
“She said she had something to take care of at the club room.”
“Is she coming after?”
“Yeah.”
“Then why are you here, Captain? You should have gone with her.”
“I asked, but she said there was nothing for me to do. Are we done now? Get away from me. And don't talk to me. The bruise from last week still hasn't healed.”
As she said that, Renka rubbed her left buttock.
That was a lie, a desperate attempt to get away from me after being hit so many times.
I know I didn't hit her hard enough to bruise, Renka knows it, and even the heavens know it. What's with all the fuss?
I clicked my tongue and threatened Renka.
“If you try to get out of it like that, I'll hit you hard enough to leave a real bruise.”
“W-What...”
“So hard you'll have trouble sitting...”
“Y-You think I'll just take it?”
“I'll even prepare a switch...”
“Wanna die? Stop joking.”
“Does it look like I'm joking?”
“.....”
Gulp.
At my continued heavy tone, Renka's Adam's apple bobbed noticeably.
Was she feeling fear and anticipation at the same time? Her expression wasn't bad, surprisingly.
“You were lying, weren't you?”
At my follow-up question, Renka took half a step back, her mouth moving uncertainly.
“I...”
“None of that useless talk. Just answer yes or no. You were lying, weren't you?”
“....Y-Yes.”
“Then what should you say?”
“Um... I'm sorry...?”
“That's right. Good girl.”
Renka's face flushed with humiliation. Still, she didn't seem to feel bad.
I've been doing this light training with her constantly, so it seems she's just come to accept it.
Maybe it's about time we moved on to the next step.
That tail plug I bought last time... I still have it.
No, the most urgent thing for Renka is service training.
Next time, it should be fellatio, not the plug.
Or even better if we can do both.
Mulling over various ways to humiliate her, I said.
“Want some candy?”
“Candy...? Now...?”
“Yes. If you don't want it, I'll give it to you later.”
“Uh... no. Just give it to me later...”
“Alright, then.”
“....But you're not going to punish me for postponing it, are you...?”
Ahh... How can I not love Renka when she reacts like this, satisfying my desire for domination so completely?
“I'll decide after seeing how you behave. Go on inside.”
“W-What are you... Heek!?”
Renka, who was about to snap back, flinched.
It was because I had secretly poked her in the waist.
I watched Renka's slave-like tendencies, which were now in full bloom, with a satisfied gaze, then told her I'd see her later and walked past her.
Mhmm... My heart feels so refreshed on the first day of the spring semester.
I like this a lot. I have a feeling something good is going to happen.
* * *
Swaaaaaa-!
Streams of rain poured down like a waterfall, and the classroom was dim, the sky hidden by dark clouds.
The downpour that had started during the morning classes didn't stop by lunchtime.
I like rainy days, but I'm not a fan of it pouring like the sky has a hole in it...
The refreshed feeling I had earlier is completely gone, and I'm feeling gloomy.
“This spring rain is a bit... intense.”
The vice class president sitting in front of me muttered.
I couldn't agree more. I wish Miyuki were here at times like this... It's a shame she's not here, busy with student council work now that the second year has officially begun.
Slumped listlessly in my chair with my shoulders drooping, I called out to Bread Girl, who was munching on bread in front of me.
“Hey, Bread Girl.”
“Cough.”
“Give me one.”
“Gasp!”
“Hurry up.”
When I glared at the reluctant Bread Girl, she flinched and took out a new cream bun, offering it to me with some milk.
I felt like I was extorting money from her or something, which made me feel vaguely sorry.
“Never mind. I was joking.”
“....Cough?”
“I'm not hungry.”
I gave the bread back to Bread Girl with an indifferent expression and stood up from my seat.
“Where are you going?”
The question came from Tetsuya, who was drawing in the seat next to me.
He's been keeping his head down and staying quiet lately, which I appreciate, so I guess I can answer him.
“Just going for a walk.”
“Oh, okay. Got it.”
There's something off about his eyes. They look kind of bleak.
No, Tetsuya's eyes have always been like that. I shouldn't worry about it.
By the way, that scrawny guy seems to have bulked up quite a bit.
Is he still boxing? He seems to be working really hard at it.
I guess the fact that his childhood friend fell for me completely was a pretty big trigger, huh?
Even so, he's still a dopey guy. He's not a threat, just an annoyance... I wonder if he'll ever transfer.
If I were him, my pride would be so hurt I'd try to leave Miyuki's side.
After leaving the classroom, I considered going to the school store, but quickly gave up on the idea because it was raining too hard.
I came out because I was bored, but there's nothing to do.
Should I go check out the first-year hallway? Yeah, I'll do that.
It feels a bit like being a stalker, but who cares? As long as other people don't see it that way, it's fine.
After that brief, dangerous thought, I went down the stairs with light steps.
Pretending I had business at the faculty office, I walked down the hall and glanced through the window of Class 1-C. I could see five or six students gathered around someone at a desk in the center of the room.
A flash of blonde hair, visible between the male and female students.
It was Hiyori, who looked so refreshing it was like a spritz of lemon juice just seeing her.
She was chatting with Miho in a friendly, cheerful atmosphere.
It's only the first day, so things could have been awkward, but Hiyori is already surrounded by people, boys and girls alike.
Hiyori must have been friendly and greeted them first.
She's already so popular... It's a good thing White Day has already passed.
If it hadn't, she would have definitely been bombarded with gifts.
In any case, as time goes on, Hiyori will become much more popular than she is now.
Guys will always be sticking to her, wagging their filthy tails.
My first goal is to advance my relationship with Hiyori by leaps and bounds before that happens.
So that Hiyori will only have eyes for me.
