[Ding. Hikigaya Hachiman…]
Two and a half hours passed in the afternoon.
"Hikigaya-kun, walk a little steadier, would you? Don't go tripping and falling now," Yukinoshita said with a hint of a laugh, lying contentedly on the bed.
"!!"
Just about to head out the door, Hikigaya flushed red and muttered toward his girlfriend on the bed:
"I'm fine. No need to worry about me."
"Oh? Fufu~ And who was it just now that fell flat on the floor while walking?"
"I… I just slipped, that's all."
"Fufu. As expected of Zaku-kun. You've still got a lot to learn~"
"…"
Hikigaya looked utterly defeated, internally groaning.
What is up with his girlfriend?
She looked all delicate and demure on the outside, but once the curtains were drawn, the contrast was outrageous. She was practically trying to grind him into the ground. He had trained for weeks thinking he'd finally take the lead—but in the end, he was the one schooled once again.
"…Though, I will say there's been improvement," Yukinoshita added quickly, not wanting to completely crush him. "It was… pleasantly unexpected~"
"Just wait for next time. I'm going to grab some fruit."
They both needed to hydrate.
"Fufu, go ahead. Once we're done… heehee… no need to wait for next time. Let's do it now~"
"!!"
Hikigaya froze. His expression turned to that of a man staring into the abyss.
"Scared?"
"Who—who's scared?! I'm coming back to finish this!"
He inhaled deeply, clearly refusing to back down.
"I'm really looking forward to your performance~" Yukinoshita said sweetly, watching him walk out of the room.
Once he was gone, Yukinoshita's smile faded. She climbed out of bed and made her way to the wardrobe.
After hesitating for a few seconds…
She knocked gently on the wardrobe door.
"Katō-san, are you okay in there?"
"I-I'm fine. Thanks for asking."
"Good. Um… cough…"
Yukinoshita blushed and awkwardly cleared her throat.
"So that was, you know… what happens between a man and a woman. This was probably your first time watching live, right? Well… we girls do that kind of thing with boys when… cough…"
"I learned a lot. Thank you, Yukinoshita-san."
"I'm glad."
Yukinoshita paused, then bit her lip, seeming like she wanted to say something more.
"So, um… Katō-san, do you… have any thoughts?"
"Thoughts?"
"Uhhh…"
Yukinoshita opened her mouth but quickly shut it. She had wanted to say 'Want to try a taste?', but that felt way too forward. Just the thought of it made her cheeks burn.
"Nothing, really. I mean… I just wanted to say that even if it didn't look like much to you, for us girls, um… bullying boys can be… really addictive."
"Bullying boys is addictive?"
"Yes! Seeing them all pitiful and helpless, watching them beg for mercy… Katō-san, doesn't that just feel amazing?"
"Emmm… it kind of does."
Katō Megumi agreed after a moment's thought.
"But not every boy's like that. My Hikigaya-kun is a special case. He's… very easily dominated. Like a bottom-tier zaku, really."
"I mean… I thought Hikigaya-kun was doing okay? Honestly, Yukinoshita-san, you're kind of amazing."
"Ahh, no no, you flatter me."
Yukinoshita looked flustered.
If she didn't pop stamina pills, she'd probably be the one crying for her life.
"A-Anyway! Katō-san… would you, maybe, um… want to try watching from closer next time? Or… maybe even feel for yourself?"
"..."
Katō fell silent.
"I—I mean, not like that! Just touching my boyfriend a little! Nothing further!"
Yukinoshita scrambled to clarify.
After a pause, Katō asked, "Is this… because of your condition?"
Ugh, I'm not even sick!!
Still, Yukinoshita forced a calm smile and replied, "Yes… my chest feels tight again. I just… need to relieve the pressure somehow. You understand, right?"
"I don't mind. But if I come out now, won't Hikigaya-kun be shocked out of his mind?"
He'd probably faint right on the spot, to be honest.
"No worries, we'll just blindfold him. If he can't see, then you can stay close—observe, or… cough…"
You can take my husband for a spin~
"You're sure he won't notice?"
Katō still sounded hesitant.
"He never has before! Trust me—he's the most obedient boyfriend ever. As long as I tell him not to remove the blindfold, he won't."
Yukinoshita said confidently.
After all, her man was famously loyal and obedient.
"Then… alright."
Katō agreed.
"Thank you so much, Katō-san. I love you to bits!"
"You're too kind, Yukinoshita-san."
Inside, Yukinoshita was over the moon.
Perfect.
Everything's going according to plan.
Sooner or later, I will deliver Katō to my boyfriend's bed.
Hehehe~ Once she's right there watching, she won't be able to resist. I bet she'll snap, push me aside, and pounce on my Hachiman herself! What a beautiful scene that'll be! Please, Katō, steal my man already!
Ahem. Cough.
Of course, this is all for Hachiman's own good. She's not doing this because she wants it. Definitely not. It's all to save her poor, helpless husband!
Otherwise, she'd never let herself go this far.
—Several minutes later—
Hikigaya returned with a tray of fruit from the hotel lounge.
After sharing the snack, Yukinoshita broached the topic she'd prepared earlier.
Upon hearing her request, Hikigaya furrowed his brow in confusion.
"Blindfold again?"
"Fufu~ We're just chasing new thrills, right? You don't mind, do you?"
"You… whatever. Up to you."
Seeing his agreement, Yukinoshita smiled sweetly—but inside, she was already sighing heavily.
Forgive me, Hachiman.
If the opportunity arises… I truly hope you and Katō-san will come together.
