Ch 189 – 20 June, Another Meeting with Chika 02
<span style="font-weight:400">Kouta and Chika walked to the department store.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You didn''t even wait and came on time." Chika pouted andmented on what happened a few seconds ago.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Well, I spent my time with Eriri as much as I could so that I could arrive in time for our appointment," Kouta responded to Chika''sment honestly, which made Chika look at him with a t expression.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Is that so— I wonder if this makes Eriri like you so much."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hm, ah. Well, that''s who knows. I don''t know what Eriri thinks, but I always try to keep her happy and loved."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hm— Even if you''re openly trying to get close to other girls, like what are you doing right now? No, I wonder how many girls you have at this point." Chika spoke in a tone that could be considered scolding Kouta.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Isn''t that why I always do my best? And it seems to work out well because my rtionship with her has always worked well."
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s maybe true— Geez, I don''t know why she is fine with it. Hah— This is something I don''t understand."
<span style="font-weight:400">Kouta remembered what Eriri had told him about Chika''s recent response. I don''t know why, even though it seemed like Chika didn''t like what Kouta did to Eriri. From the conversation they were having right now. There was an impression that Chika wanted to understand why Eriri let Kouta do this to her. Maybe this is because of sympathy for Eriri as a woman or a friend.
<span style="font-weight:400">That was why Kouta felt it would not be wrong if he tried to influence this girl''s thinking through his sweet words and demeanor. Kouta realized that he was bing a man who was good at seduction or something— Or his god''s blessing became even stronger after he slept with many girls, which made it easier for him to be closer to girls.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Well, I don''t think you will understand her," Kouta told him quite frankly.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh—"
<span style="font-weight:400">"No matter what you think— I don''t think you can understand her even though you may guess correctly what she is thinking. It will be just a small fragmentation of it."
<span style="font-weight:400">"But—"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Because in the end, you don''t know what Eriri feels, nor have you experienced what Eriri feels."
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s—"
<span style="font-weight:400">"For example, I saw there was an article on CNN in the past that said the most delicious food in the world is food called ''Rendang'' from southeast Asia. It looked like a short rib beef that had been cooked for a long time with a lot of spice. If you look at the food, you can probably specte on the vor of beef and spices— But in the end, you wouldn''t know how the food actually tastes without eating it, would you? I think this is what your problem is."
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s—"
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s why? How about you try to experience it even just a little? Like now, how about if we''re closer than usual?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh, but—"
<span style="font-weight:400">"How about we be more like a couple than before— Ah, yeah, How about we try something like that?" Kouta spoke while pointing at the walking couple while the girl wrapped her hand around the man''s arm.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Wait? Isn''t that too close?" Chika responded with her face blushing for a little.
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s the point though— Hora— It''s not that bad?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Grrrr— I think this is just an advantage for you. I think you''re using this to get close to me."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hm, that''s the point, though."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Geez—"
<span style="font-weight:400">Chika looked at the couple who pointed at Kouta, and just like that, she followed suit. On thest date, they were already holding hands. So, it''s no big deal to go a little further. Chika thought like that and slowly wrapped her hand around Kouta''s. She realized there was a slight difference between doing this and just holding hands.
<span style="font-weight:400">The bodies between Chika and Kouta became very close and attached to each other so that she could feel Kouta''s body. In addition, Chika is basically a short girl for her age with a height of about 154cm, so when she walks while wrapping her arms around Kouta like this. Her head fits over Kouta''s shoulder, and if she is not careful, then her breasts will stick to Kouta.
<span style="font-weight:400">These are things that could make Chika feel very embarrassed, but at the same time, being in this position somehow gave the impression of a sense of security and warmth from Kouta. This position also made her feel that she was holding Kouta''s hand more than usual.
<span style="font-weight:400">''Hm, I wonder if this is what you call muscle— It''s harder than I thought—'' Chika thought like that as she felt the muscles of his hand while embracing Kouta''s hand. She had already seen Kouta fighting those thugs, so it would not be weird if he had some muscle. Still, even so, it was much different from her imagination. What made Kouta''s previous words even more true in Chika''s mind was that what she imagined would be different from reality.
<span style="font-weight:400">Then, somehow, when Chika was sticking like this tha, it made her remember the indecent video that Eriri sent to her. Well, basically, Chika already knows that behind Kouta''s sweet and handsome face, there is a physique that can be said to be captivating and quite muscr.
<span style="font-weight:400">Chika didn''t know why, but she somehow remembered those lewd videos. In the video where Eriri and Kouta had such sexual activities, she could easily remember Kouta''s naked body that she had seen before. As they entered the department store, Chika took Kouta to several stores that seemed to have be regrs. While doing so, Chika couldn''t help but look at Kouta and imagine what his body looked like. She felt ashamed of her indecent thoughts when she realized what she had done.
<span style="font-weight:400">As for Kouta, he began to feel Chika stealing nces at him sometimes. However, this was not a problem for him. There was currently one thing on his mind. After visiting several stores, he realized that Chika basically didn''t need toe to the department store. She could just call them, and they would send the stuff, especially if she came from a rich school like Shuchi''in Academy.
<span style="font-weight:400">In other words, Chika was intentionally trying to meet him or go on a date with him. Or she has other ns and reasons foring here. Kouta felt it was better to ask Chika directly.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hm, if it''s like this, can''t you call directly?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s true, but to be honest— I just wanted to escape," Chika answered Kouta''s question with such a t stare that her eyes seemed to go nk.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Is that so?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah, I just don''t want to hear about studying for exams. President looked so focused. It''s so scary!! And he used the student council room to study!!! But I heard from both of them that it''s fine not to study. That''s why I''m thinking about rxing and ying—"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Is that so?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah, that''s why I remember that we''ve promised to y together. So I use this so I can run away from those heavy moods in the student council room." Chika replied while recalling how Kaguya and Shirogane had said that cramming and forcing themselves was the wrong thing to do for exams without realizing that the moment the two of them spoke, they were both at war with each other.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Anyway, now summer is approaching. I want to buy something for summer vacation—" Chika said excitedly as if she had forgotten about the test that would not be long ining.
