Chapter 345: A Tomboy Met in the City
In the distance, I could see Renka waiting for me, sitting on a bench with her legs crossed.
Her hands were shoved into the pockets of her long training pants as she gazed up at the night sky.
Her long, pale neck stood out above the short-sleeved shirt she was wearing.
I snuck up on her quietly, then plopped down on the bench beside her.
“Mind if I sit here?”
“Jeez...! Huh...? Y-You’re already sitting… What the… The nerve…”
Why was Renka’s face turning red?
It wasn’t just because she was surprised.
I thought about it for a moment. This situation was a classic first-meeting setup you see in romantic comedies.
It’s a cliché that usually happens in a restaurant or a bar, not a park, but my words must have made her think of that scene.
I was just trying to tease her, but her reaction was priceless.
So this is what she’s into. I like how she shows a new side of herself the more I get to know her.
After a soft, mushy date, you definitely need a little fizz to spice things up.
“Why’d you call me out at this hour… So annoying…” Renka grumbled.
Shoving my hands into the pockets of my own comfy shorts, I replied, “It’s not that late.”
“Who said the time was the problem…?”
“Weren’t you just talking about the time?”
“That’s not it…! I was talking about how you ordered me to come out with that bossy message…!”
“Thanks for coming.”
“……”
Renka’s expression twitched, then softened.
It seemed my single, quiet sentence had melted her anger away.
“Hey… at Chinami’s house… you… uh, you didn’t do anything… right…?”
I looked at Renka as she timidly asked what she’d been curious about.
“We just held hands.”
“You’re lying… Are you really the type to just hold hands?”
“What exactly do you want to hear? That we had sex?”
“Hyaaah! Shut up! Just shut up!”
Renka frantically glanced around.
After confirming with great relief that no one was around, she glared at me.
“Are you crazy!?”
“That’s what you were curious about, wasn’t it?”
“Even so, how could you say it so bluntly, you piece of trash…!”
“Isn’t this something people can say if they’re close?”
“That depends on the person…! And how are you and I close?”
So we weren’t close when we were rolling around together so intensely?
That’s even hotter.
“We’re not?”
“Of course not…! We have a proper senior-junior relationship, a club captain and a club member…”
“Is that so? Alright.”
I let my voice drop slightly, pretending to agree as if it were no big deal, but with a tone that held a hint of disappointment. Renka, who had been in the middle of her sentence, shut her mouth.
Then, she snuck a glance at me and corrected herself.
“W-Well, we’re a little closer than I am with other people…”
“A little?”
“...A little. Anyway, why did you call me? I already apologized.”
“I called you because I missed you.”
“W-What are you talking about…!”
“What do you mean? I really did miss you.”
“Hah…”
Her body temperature must have shot up, because she started fanning herself with her hand, turning her head this way and that.
She was just like Chinami when she got embarrassed.
Chuckling, I casually reached my arm over the back of the bench and wrapped it around Renka’s shoulder.
“Hyat!?”
Startled, Renka flinched and looked at me.
She opened and closed her mouth as if she were about to curse me out, but the sudden skinship seemed to be unexpectedly to her liking, so she didn’t say anything.
Renka’s face was illuminated by the moonlight and the streetlights.
I stared at her flawless, pale skin and said, “I’ll just stay like this for a bit before I go.”
“...F-Fine, whatever…”
Renka started fiddling with the end of her ponytail, which had fallen over her shoulder.
She seemed surprised at herself for so readily accepting my touch.
Tearing my eyes away from her, I looked at the overgrown bushes in front of us and murmured softly, “It’d be even better if you held my hand.”
“What are you saying…! No…”
“Alright then.”
“……”
As I sat there with Renka, who had answered with silence, I rolled my eyes to see what she was up to.
I barely managed to stifle the laugh that almost burst out.
She was sneaking glances at my hand, which was resting near her upper chest.
As a bonus, her own hand was twitching, as if she were having a huge internal conflict over whether to touch mine or not.
I burst out laughing internally at Renka’s cute behavior. In the end, she gave up on grabbing my hand and placed hers on her own lap. We stayed like that until the wind started to feel chilly.

A pink bag with a Momo-nim keychain dangling from it.
I approached Chinami from behind as she was wearing it, intending to tap her on the back and greet her.
“Master. Good mor—”
“Hmyat!? I-I’ll be going now…!!”
But she jumped as if she were about to faint and scurried away, leaving me dumbfounded mid-sentence.
This feels like déjà vu…
I’m sure Renka did the same thing once, letting out a strange cry and running away when I called her from behind.
Now Chinami’s doing the exact same thing. Yesterday, Renka acted just like Chinami, too…
I’d believe they were sisters in a past life.
She had spent the whole weekend with me, but far from getting used to our time together, she had only grown more shy.
Her reaction just now was proof.
Even on our date yesterday, it felt like I was the only one talking, and it seemed today wouldn’t be much different.
“Waah!”
Just as I shrugged, thinking, so be it, and was about to head toward the academy building, I heard a fresh, loud voice from behind me.
Wondering what it was, I turned around to see Hiyori with both hands raised above her shoulders.
Thinking she looked just like a fox, I asked in a monotone voice, “What are you doing?”
“What… No fun.”
It seemed she was trying to surprise me, but who would be scared by such a cute pose and voice?
If anything, it would just make you smile like a proud father.
Miho, who was looking at Hiyori with a pathetic expression, bowed to me.
“Hello.”
Miho is always so deadpan.
When girls like that have their sexual awakening, they become wilder than anyone and show yandere tendencies…
While I’m at it with Hiyori, maybe I should try my hand at Miho, too.
“Hey. On your way to school?”
“Yep.”
Hiyori answered for her.
I gave a weak smile and said, “I wasn’t asking you.”
“I wanted to answer. I don’t see Hanazawa-senpai today.”
“She said she had something to take care of in the faculty office and went on ahead.”
“Why?”
“Not telling.”
“Is it that you don’t know what it is?”
To be honest, I didn’t. Miyuki had gone without knowing either.
Our Hiyori has unnecessarily good insight. I wonder if she’d still be like that if I disciplined her with my dick?
Maybe I should try to sweet-talk Hiyori into a date this weekend.
Later, I could seduce Miho too and make them both kneel and lick me.
Just imagining that scene made the blood rush to my head.
“You’re making a really weird face.”
Hiyori’s follow-up comment snapped me back to reality.
“You’re only feeling that way because you’re the one having weird thoughts. Hurry up and go study.”
“Studying again? You’re so lame…”
She retorted nonchalantly, without the fed-up expression she used to have.
She’s become immune to my nagging.
This is a problem… I’ve lost one of my tools for teasing Hiyori.
“Glad to hear you think it’s lame. Have you two eaten?”
“I had a sandwich on the train. Why? Are you going to buy me something?”
“I was going to, but since you’ve already eaten, never mind.”
“I still have room for dessert.”
“You do?”
“Yep. Buy me a cheesecake.”
It’s funny how she boldly demands dessert with her eyes wide open.
I thought she knew I was just making an empty offer, but I foolishly said I was going to.
Did I just volunteer to be a pushover?
I’ll buy it for her and make her pay me back double later.
“Then follow me.”
“Heehee.”
Hiyori let out a cheap-sounding laugh, and I couldn’t tell if she was teasing me or genuinely happy.
As the two of them trotted behind me, I could hear them whispering about something, and I became really curious about their conversation.
After making an unexpected expenditure, I returned to the classroom and finished the usual, ordinary classes.
Afterward, I had a reasonably fun time with Chinami, who was still blushing all over, and Renka, who was coddling her and warning me to stay away. We finished up with club activities.
Then, I dropped Miyuki, who had finished her student council work, off at her house and headed downtown.
I needed to buy something to do with Miyuki, who, whenever she came over to my place these days, would just laze around on my bed and never think of leaving.
I was initially thinking of buying board games or manga, but I was also willing to purchase one of those popular console games.
A game where the player lives in a forest village, catches bugs, goes fishing, and builds a house.
I found it while browsing the internet on my phone, and it seemed like a good game for couples to play together.
Back when Miyuki used to see Tetsuya often, she would frequently play games with him.
I had even joined them a few times.
From what I saw back then, she had no talent for games. She seemed to have fun while playing but never showed any great interest.
But I thought she might get into a cute and simple game like this that she could play whenever she had a spare moment.
It apparently had online play, so friends could visit the player’s house… If it was fun, I was thinking of asking Renka, Chinami, and possibly Hiyori to play too.
I’d be creating my own harem life in a virtual world.
As I was walking toward the shopping district with a sly smile on my face, I heard a familiar voice nearby.
“I said no, so why do you keep doing this?”
Wondering what was going on, I turned toward the source of the sound and saw Hiyori being held by a guy with a flashy hairstyle and outfit.
No, it wasn’t so much that she was being held, but rather that the guy was repeatedly blocking Hiyori’s path as she tried to walk away.
