Chapter 41 – Who Is Your Partner?
The sudden situation turned white in my head.
What will Ceres think when she sees me in Netoru’s room? What excuse would you make if you got caught?
Should I just tell Netoru that I came because I had something to do?
No, I can’t say that.
Didn’t you promise Ceres in the locker room?
I told her not to worry, she’ll be getting her medicine in the infirmary and resting in her room. However, having said that just now and being in Netoru’s room like this, it is bound to be strange.
It’s strange that she came to the men’s room in an overheated state in the first place. That’s right after washing the body clean in the bathtub.
This looks weird Whatever you do, it’s bound to be a dubious excuse. If Ceres was quick-witted, he would surely not pass by. She was a gentle but kind woman.
And in fact, Karen was dishonorable.
As she remembered what she had just been doing with the four Toru, Karen felt her blush, and she hurriedly wiped her lips with the back of her hand.
What do we do? How do I do this…
Maybe it’s because the overheat has subsided less? Accidents don’t work properly
Besides, she couldn’t help but be terrified of what she was doing in this space until now.
That was then.
“Karen. Calm down.”
As Karen hung her head in contemplation, she could suddenly feel her hand pressing her own hair. She was four toru.
“You haven’t sinned against Ceres, so why are you so frightened?”
“Yeah, but!”
Unable to say anything at the sudden touch of her hair, Karen raised her head and looked at Netoru.
But now, this guy was laughing quietly as if this situation was interesting.
Karen was just embarrassed by that.
Doesn’t he have any worries?
As she thought about it, as she stared at it, Toru said.
“How will we do it? Shall I just tell Ceres well and send him back?”
“… Could you?”
“Maybe?”
“Well, then… Do it.”
At Netoru’s words, Karen hastily nodded her head several times. Then, the smile on Netoru’s lips grew thicker as she enjoyed seeing it, but now was not the time to care about that.
Karen didn’t want Ceres to find out about this situation.
—… Netoru? Aren’t you inside?
“… “
Ceres’ voice is heard again. Karen bit her lip. She was worried that Ceres might hear her voice.
─That’s strange… She said she would definitely wait in her room?
“… “
I don’t know why Ceres came to Netoru’s room, but
Karen kept her mouth shut and she glanced at the four toru. It was her unspoken pressure to go ahead and return Ceres.
“I know, don’t worry.”
Then Netoru shrugged her shoulders.
Seeing her laid-back attitude, Karen felt a sense of relief inside her. She’s brazen, but she always said things worked out when he told her not to worry.
Yeah, now that I think about it again, it’s not a situation to take too seriously.
Anyway, it’s good to get out of there, isn’t it?
Anyway, Ceres had no idea what was going on in the room.
“Ah, just in case you don’t know, hide in a suitable place.”
“… Huh.”
Karen nodded her head and looked around Netoru’s room. Here, the places to hide her body were extremely limited.
Then too…
2.
“… Hmm.”
In the end, the place Karen chose was the closet. Netoru wondered if Karen was in the bathroom, but he was a little surprised.
What… Wherever it is, it doesn’t matter much.
She enjoyed it in moderation. It was fun to watch Karen fidgeting. The more I looked at her, the more unexpectedly she was a guy with a lot of flustered sides.
Of course, Karen was surprised by that. She probably never expected Ceres to come.
To be honest, Netoru didn’t intentionally aim for this situation. He didn’t even know when Ceres would come.
“… How should I send Ceres back?”
Anyway, just like Karen, Netoru’s embarrassing situation remains the same. She is a bit troubled when she sees Karen in her room.
So Netoru opened the door, thinking of some words to send Ceres back.
“… What. Were you inside?”
Then, with a grimace in his eyes, he could find Ceres standing there calmly. Since she had been silent since earlier and ignored her words, she could have been angry.
Ceres, who was looking over the four mounds with her arms crossed, spoke.
“You, why didn’t you answer me like this?”
“Hmm. I was just in the bathroom for a while.”
“… Restroom.”
Ceres’ eyes twitched faintly. He didn’t seem to believe in anything. However, he sighed quietly and took a step forward, as if he had no intention of delving deeper.
Are you planning on entering the room right away?
Netoru blocked Ceres’ path. He stretched out his hand and blocked the entrance to the door.
Then Ceres tilted her head as she looked at his arm blocking his way, as if wondering.
“… What is it all of a sudden?”
“You want to come into my room?”
“Yes. We have something to talk about, just the two of us.”
What do you want to talk about? It looks like she has something serious to say since she made an appointment right after the swapping interview was over.
… But not now.
As long as Karen was in the room, Netoru had no intention of letting Ceres into the room. She is a girl who has not yet reached adulthood.
She has no idea what Ceres will look like if he finds out that she has such a girl in her room.
Especially when you think of the friendship between Ceres and Karen.
So Ceres entering the room, even if Karen didn’t ask for it, was something Netoru had to sincerely stop as well.
“Ceres. Why don’t you tell the story somewhere else? Do I really need to do it in my room?”
“No. I do it in my room.”
However, Ceres’ will seemed firmer than expected. As if I would definitely do it here.
What, why is this lady doing this again?
What the hell do you want to talk about
“… My room is too dirty to have guests.”
“I don’t care. The men’s room is messy anyway, so it’s not that strange.”
That’s a very caring word.
No, more than that, when did my room become such a free space? Karen and Ceres’ actions are very interesting.
However, I couldn’t say anything else about this kind of Ceres, she had said from the beginning that she would come to her room.
She said she was fine then, but if she changed her words now, Ceres would surely be offended.
However, it is impossible to bring them into the room right now.
So, it was at the moment when Netoru was about to bring her words out to give Ceres an excuse for something else.
“… Netoru. This is a serious story. It’s a story I don’t want to tell anyone else, and I don’t want to put it off.”
Ceres grabbed Netoru’s arm, who was blocking the door. Then he carefully raised his head and met his eyes.
When his eyes met, he saw Ceres’s purple eyes, which seemed to be inlaid with amethyst, flicker faintly.
“… “
Netoru stared into Ceres’ eyes and immediately realized.
That this cannot be stopped.
I thought it was just a serious face.
It was an illusion.
Looking closely now, rather than being serious, Ceres showed a genuinely nervous face, as if she had finally arrived here with great courage.
As proof, the more she looked at Ceres, the more she could see that there was an unconcealable fear in her pupils.
That look was similar to the devastated look she showed when they were coupled today.
She pretends to be strong on the outside and keeps her mouth shut, but her trembling lips and even her body are somehow hardened.
Are herbivores in front of carnivores like this?
Looking at things like this, it is clear that the angry and stern look she showed when she opened the door must have been an act.
She pretends to be as strong as she can somehow, and it should be said that it is a woman’s attitude to deceive her opponents.
Anyway, anything is fine.
‘… That’s not good.’
If you muster up the courage to come to me like this, it must not be a light business. In the end, it was impossible for Netoru to return such a woman heartlessly. After all, it’s a coupling partner.
Netoru asked her one last time.
“… Ceres. Is there something important that needs to be said right now?”
“Yes. It will be too late by tomorrow.”
“… “
Is it.
Netoru let out a shallow sigh. Then she felt Ceres’ body twitch as if she had done something wrong. She didn’t do anything wrong, but it was very sad to see her notice.
“… Okay. Come inside.”
“Thank you…”
Why do you say thank you again? What is there to be thankful for here? Thanks to this, Ceres’ up-to-date appearance made her feel all the more ridiculous.
After removing his arm blocking his entrance, Ceres cautiously entered the hallway and began removing his shoes.
He looked at her without thinking, but her every demeanor was calm and elegant like that of a well-learned aristocratic lady. Even just taking off one of his shoes was a strange thing.
… Is this because you live here too?
Eventually Ceres took off his shoes and entered the room. She looked around her room carefully, like an adventurer exploring unknown space.
Then she shook her head and said in surprise.
“… What. Is your room cleaner than you thought?”
“What is it?”
“By the way, didn’t you say the room was dirty earlier?”
“… “
Netoru shut her mouth. At the uncomfortable silence, Ceres slightly raised her eyes and munched her mouth in displeasure.
“Huh?”
Then Ceres saw the neatly arranged shelves of her books and approached her with her eyes shining.
Do you like books? Ceres looked over the books stored in her bookshelf, and she smiled softly.
“This is a bit surprising. I hope you have these books. It seems to be a book that I take with great care if I have to bring it to the base…”
Are you interested in books? She muttered the titles of the books she found on her bookshelf one by one, then she started asking questions.
It was quite lively, such as saying that this is good and what the writer is like. He seems to be the type who enjoys both novels and humanities. Tastes fit in unexpected places.
Netoru suitably matched Ceres’ words and looked towards his closet.
Karen is in there.
And you’re probably watching this situation right now.
“Hmm…”
… This is very difficult.
Netoru inadvertently smiled bitterly. It was because the current situation was absurd even to think about it.
But what can I do? The situation is like this.
Netoru naturally continued the conversation about the book on the bookshelf to relieve Ceres’ tension.
And did you talk like that for about 5 minutes?
Netoru sat down on his bed and slowly got to the point.
“Ceres. So, what do you want to talk about in my room?”
“… “
Then Ceres, who had been in front of the bookshelf until just now, corrected his expression and turned his head away. She looked at Netoru sitting on her bed and exhaled her long breath, then clenched her fists and said.
“… What I want to talk about is coupling. With this swapping, Netoru, you have become my coupling partner, so there is something I want to say.”
“Is it like an agreement as a coupling partner?”
It happens often. Should I say it’s a mutual guideline for coupling? Didn’t Karen say that she wished it was like this when she couples with herself?
But Ceres shook her head.
“No… To be precise, it should be called a request rather than an agreement. I knew for sure from today’s battle that I’m not in a position to negotiate with you.”
“… Ask?”
Ceres nodded her head and naturally sat down on Netoru’s bed with his buttocks pressed against him. Then she said, slowly closing her distance.
“I don’t want a one-sided coupling like today.”
It is the first to bend down and enter,
It was a plaintive voice, as if begging for something.
“Then Netoru, how can it not be?”
Had I just washed up? I only closed the distance a little, but I smelled fragrant from her body. Even so, her sadly looking up eyes were shaking beautifully.
It’s a blatant behavior to seduce men no matter who sees it.
But why?
Looking at Ceres, Netoru suddenly thought.
For a man to seduce, he said he had too much power in his body.
Are you not used to this?
“Wow!?”
Somehow that was funny, so Tohru grabbed Ceres’ arm and pushed her onto her own bed.
Then her bed swayed and Ceres’ purple hair fluttered gracefully over the duvet.
Ceres quietly stared at Netoru as she lay on her bed. She was the image of an obedient, unrestrained woman.
It was like looking at a broken lily.
No, it looked like a lily pretending to be broken.
So Netoru narrowed her brows and asked quietly.
“… Ceres. What are you thinking all of a sudden?”
At that question, Ceres sighed softly and let out her wry smile.
“…Haha. It doesn’t work as expected?”
I could see that she was so nervous from the moment she entered the room, but did she think it would be?
