Chapter 371: The Master's Kitty
The place I took Hiyori to was a sushi restaurant.
Not the conveyor belt sushi place we went to last time, but a restaurant in the city center near Hiyori's house that stayed open late.
It was open past midnight, and unlike most places like that which are usually near entertainment districts, this one was a local joint tucked away in an alley with little foot traffic, so it had a nice atmosphere.
It felt like the perfect place to visit on a rainy day.
To be honest, I'd considered going to the ramen shop Miyuki and I frequent, but that place felt like sacred ground, so I changed my mind.
So, I decided I would make this new restaurant a place filled with memories for Hiyori and me.
It was the kind of place where you take off your shoes to enter.
After walking across the tatami, which was a similar color to the ones at my house, we sat at the counter. Hiyori and I looked at the menu together and chose an assorted sushi platter for a light meal.
“Wanna see my toes?”
Hiyori asked cheekily after we ordered.
I furrowed my brow, wondering what on earth she was talking about.
“Why would I need to see your toes?”
“They’re super pretty. Just take a look.”
I already knew that.
Her toes were long and slender, easily rivaling Chinami's... a truly beautiful shape.
Come to think of it, Chinami is soft and rounded all over, but her toes are long and slim.
Would she have been cuter if they were round, too?
No, I think they’re much better as they are now.
Hiyori turned and thrust her bare foot between my legs.
Her pale skin ending in toenails painted a brilliant crimson was so pretty that, for a moment, I was hit with the urge to suck on them.
“What are you doing?”
“Pretty, right?”
It was absurd how she moved her big toe back and forth, genuinely admiring the shape of her own foot, but it was also quite funny.
“They’re pretty. Now put it away.”
“Want to touch them?”
“No, they probably smell.”
“They don’t! Here, take a whiff.”
“If you put your foot near my nose, you’re really going to be in for it.”
“Sorry. There aren’t many customers inside, huh?”
Hiyori lowered her voice.
Hearing that, I glanced around.
She was right. Besides us, there was just an old couple at a table, leaving the rest of the place empty.
It was probably because it was a neighborhood spot and getting late.
“You’ve never been here before?”
“Nope.”
“And you love sushi so much? It’s close to your house, too.”
“I don’t love it that much, you know?”
“Really? Anyway, sit properly.”
Hiyori was holding onto the table and rocking her chair from side to side.
She was like a restless child, and she seemed to be in a particularly good mood today.
Completely ignoring me, she kept swaying her body and head left and right before her eyes suddenly lit up.
“Can’t we order an okonomiyaki, too?”
“You’ll gain weight.”
“I’ll starve myself tomorrow.”
“You know, you have a habit of saying the strangest things so casually.”
“What’s so strange about that?”
“Quiet. You’re not starving yourself, and you’ll gain weight, so no more ordering.”
“Hmph.”
“What was that, punk?”
Ignoring my glare, Hiyori turned her head away with a pout.
Just then, the assorted sushi platter arrived.
Seeing the vibrant colors of the fish, a wide smile spread across her face.
“Looks delicious... This is flounder and gizzard shad fin. Do you like it?”
“I do.”
“Then you can have it all, Senpai.”
“You don’t like it?”
“I like it too, but I’m being considerate since you gave me a ride.”
To say that with her own mouth... Unbelievable.
Still, the sentiment of giving me the most delicious parts was sweet.
“Let’s just share it.”
“Okay, then. But how much weight do you think I’ll gain if I eat all this?”
“It won’t be much if we split it, so it should be fine.”
“Then...”
“No.”
“How did you know what I was going to say?”
“You were about to ask if we could order the okonomiyaki.”
“Oh.”
“What do you mean, ‘Oh’? Give it up and let’s eat.”
“Okay.”
Maybe she decided that whining over one menu item was a bit much.
Hiyori obediently nodded, picked up a piece of sushi with her chopsticks, dipped it lightly in soy sauce, and brought it to her mouth.
Then, a happy expression bloomed on her face, as if the taste was exactly to her liking.
It’s nice to see her so consistently cheerful.
I can’t exactly call it the dead of night, but is she happy to be out eating with just me this late?
Hoping that was the case, I picked up my chopsticks.
“You should eat with your hands, Senpai.”
She just can’t stop with the weird comments.
I feigned a forehead flick, and she quickly covered her forehead as I clicked my tongue.
After that, thanks to Hiyori, we ate our sushi in an atmosphere where the silence was on the verge of being broken.

[I wanna go there again.]
A text from Hiyori came around noon the next day.
Sitting comfortably in my movie theater seat and munching on popcorn, I sent a reply.
[We can go again.]
[Wanna go today?]
[Not today.]
[Why not?]
[Because I can’t. Are you out right now?]
[Yep.]
It seemed like she was always out on the weekends.
Doesn’t she get tired? I thought she’d be aching all over after yesterday’s intense workout... I guess she must have gotten used to it already.
I’ll have to make her use that overflowing physical energy to spend some intimate time with me.
[If you want to lose weight, eat in moderation.]
[Okay. What are you up to, Senpai?]
[I came to see a movie.]
[With Hanazawa-senpai?]
[No.]
[Then who are you with?]
[The captain of our kendo club.]
[The kendo club captain? The one I saw before? At the cafe?]
[Yeah. The movie’s about to start, so let’s talk later.]
“Who are you texting?”
Renka, who had just returned from the restroom, glanced at the phone in my hand.
I turned to her and answered.
“A junior.”
“A junior? A girl, right? Just like you. You piece of trash.”
“What makes you so sure I’m texting a girl?”
“Am I wrong?”
“You’re right.”
“See? You irredeemable bastard.”
“Are you pouting because I’m texting someone else?”
“Po-pouting? Who said I was pouting? You narrow-minded... Hyak?!”
Renka’s arms pulled in tightly against her body.
It was because I had slid my hand right between her legs.
My arm rested on her thigh, my hand gliding down the seat to touch a sensitive spot.
Feeling the sensation, Renka’s face trembled.
“I think you’re the narrow-minded one, Captain.”
“Why me...?”
“You’re just assuming things.”
“What are you... Hhk...! ...talking about... Aren’t you going to move your hand...?”
“Alright.”
When I obediently removed my hand from her inner thigh, her expression turned to one of bewilderment.
But that was short-lived. As I lifted the center armrest and pressed my body close to hers, she glared at me with the face of a shy young girl.
“Don’t even think about trying anything funny, just watch the movie...”
“You look beautiful today.”
“Sh-shut up.”
Until we got to the hotel today, I had to be gentler with Renka than usual.
Since today was the day we’d use the plug, lowering her resistance was the top priority.
It was also important to slowly build up the foreplay while watching the movie and get her into a state of arousal.
“What are you staring at...?”
Perhaps burdened by my fixed gaze, she gently turned her head away.
My eyes scanned her outfit, which was coordinated entirely in black.
“You don’t wear things like chokers? I think it would suit you.”
“I don’t. It’s not my style.”
“Really? That’s a shame, but it’s fine since you can wear one later.”
“...Later?”
“Yes. Later.”
“Wh-what do you mean...? Are you going to make me wear one at the hotel?”
Just as Renka finished her sentence, the lights in the theater dimmed.
I pressed myself completely against her, placed a hand on her thigh, and began to stroke it gently as I replied.
“I’m thinking of trying a few things.”
“A-a few things...? What am I, your little experiment...?”
“You’ll like it too, Captain.”
“Like hell I will...! I’m not doing it...! We’re just watching the movie and then going our separate ways...!”
“Let’s get something to eat, too.”
“Fine...! Let’s just eat and then split up...”
“We’ll need to digest after we eat, so we can take a walk in a nearby park. And walking will make our legs tired, so we should rest for a bit somewhere quiet before we go.”
“Stop beating around the bush...! You’re planning on going to a love hotel, aren’t you...!”
It was funny how she spoke like that, even though she knew exactly where I was planning to take her.
I pushed my hand toward Renka’s groin and began to caress the area up and down. She flinched, and I turned to her and asked.
“You don’t like it?”
“...I-it’s not that I don’t like it, but you’re trying to use that weird tool...”
“What weird tool?”
“How can you expect me to say it out loud...!”
“Your voice is a little loud. Other people will hear.”
At my words, Renka jumped in surprise and looked around before scowling.
There was no one else sitting near us.
“D-don’t you think it’s pathetic how you always pick unpopular movies just to do this kind of stuff?”
“You’re the one who wanted to see this, Captain.”
“I did...?”
“Yes. Don’t you remember? When I suggested an action movie, you said your eyes were tired today and that we should watch this one instead. That this one seemed good.”
“No... I meant... it’s pathetic how you deliberately pick seats in the corner to do this...!”
“Is there something wrong with that? It’s not like our view of the screen is completely blocked.”
“We came to watch a movie... Ah...! How am I supposed to focus on the movie if you’re... touching me like this...!”
I could feel the breath she exhaled getting hotter and hotter.
It seemed she was starting to get excited by my hand openly caressing her through her black jeans.
When I feigned slipping my hand inside the waistband of her jeans, her body jolted.
Even so, the fact that she only protested with words while her body remained still made me pleased with how well my training had taken.
How can a person be so damn arousing?
Watching her fierce eyes gradually soften,
seeing her forcibly keep her legs closed when they wanted to part as she bit her lower lip,
watching her clench her fists, her hands trembling as she tried to cool her excitement—there wasn’t a single thing about her I didn’t like.
Today, I’ll make sure my own desires are fulfilled, but I’ll also try to give Renka a satisfying time.
With that thought, I wrapped my arm around the waist of Renka, who was letting out long, heated breaths, and pulled her body even closer to mine.
