Chapter 104: Assassinated by Oppai!
The hand that Yotsuba had stretched out halfway was grabbed by Ichika.
"Yotsuba, you go out first, I'll get up right away." Ichika sat up.
Ichika looked at the bulging part on her stomach, extended her other hand, and pressed down on the protrusion.
The next second, the surface of the blanket flattened again.
'So itchy~'
( ˶>˶˶<˶)
Her delicate face was slightly flushed. Seeing that Yotsuba was still standing still, she softly asked, "What's wrong?"
Yotsuba looked at the lower part of the blanket covering Ichika.
"Ichika, have you seen Sakurai-san?"
She had clearly seen Sakurai Saki come in just now.
Moreover, there's nowhere else on the second floor he could've gone~
Nakano Ichika tried to endure: "Mm~ d-didn't~ see him."
(,,¬﹏¬,,)
Yotsuba felt that Ichika was acting strange today, even her voice sounded odd.
Suddenly, she reached out her hand and lifted one corner of the blanket.
Right after that, she slowly lifted it up.
Ichika: (O_O)!
Ichika quickly hugged Sakurai Saki and rolled her body over.
Sakurai: ( ˶°ㅁ°) !!
Yotsuba, having lifted one corner of the blanket, saw Ichika's long slender legs.
"Ichika, don't tell me you're sleeping naked again?"
The fact that she liked to sleep without clothes was something all the sisters knew.
"U-umu." Ichika nodded slightly.
After saying that, Yotsuba saw Ichika's face turn even redder.
She stiffly turned around, and like a zombie, walked toward the door: "Well then… I'm going! Hurry up and come out."
"Click~"
The door was closed by Yotsuba.
After confirming the other person had really left—
Ichika let out a sigh of relief, then released Sakurai Saki.
"Nee~! Sensei-chan~ hurry and get up." She lifted the blanket and leaned close to Sakurai Saki's ear.
Sakurai Saki was panting.
Just now he felt like he was almost killed! Killed by Oppai!
(ᗒᗣᗕ)՞ ( • )( • )
An assassination! This was a real assassination!
"You should put some clothes on first." Sakurai Saki gasped for breath.
"Is it nice?" For some reason, Nakano Ichika blurted out that question.
"Uh… just normal, I couldn't really see clearly." Sakurai Saki lied with guilt.
Sakurai: (¬////¬)
In truth, it was overwhelming — way bigger than Ai-chan's size.
But Sakurai Saki didn't dare admit it.
After all, he was the one who benefitted — taking advantage of someone's unawareness isn't something a gentleman should do.
"Ara~ just normal, huh?" Nakano Ichika, for some reason, was slightly upset.
Ichika: (ꐦ≖⩊≖)
He hadn't acted normal at all just now.
Touched everything that could be touched, and now says it's just normal?
"If you have the guts, try saying that again."
What, would it kill you to give me a compliment right now?
"Um?"
Why is she mad now?
Sakurai Saki originally intended to spare the girl's pride a little, but seeing that she had said that, he no longer pretended to be a gentleman, "It was nice, but I think girls look better when they're wearing clothes."
"Outfits can enhance one's charm. Taking everything off loses that half-revealed ambiguity. Compared to outright exposure, I prefer the sense of mystery. But that's just my personal opinion." Sakurai Saki spoke as if giving an academic presentation.
Sakurai: ( ◡̀_◡́) umu umu
At that moment, Nakano Ichika's girlish embarrassment exploded because of his words.
But more than that, Ichika was bothered by something else.
She curled up in the blanket, softly saying: "Will you… take responsibility?"
(,,Ծ‸Ծ,, )
Her body had already been seen completely by him.
In a situation like this, he had no choice but to take responsibility.
"I already have a girlfriend," Sakurai Saki replied.
For topics like this, he didn't need to hide anything.
Though he wasn't sure what Ai-chan thought, from Sakurai Saki's perspective, they were already dating.
"It's fine… Eh!? Girlfriend? Sensei-chan already has a girlfriend?"
"Umu, but I feel like she sees me as a backup option."
Nakano Ichika, hearing that, let out a sigh of relief in her heart.
A backup, huh — a backup is still something.
But what kind of girl would dare treat Sensei-chan as a backup? That's seriously something.
"Why does Sensei-chan think he's just a backup option?"
Sakurai Saki sat up and sighed, "Every time we text, we only exchange exactly four lines."
"( - ⌓ - )
Nakano Ichika, though never having been in a relationship, still understood well how heavy it was to only exchange four lines on LINE.
To put it harshly, not to mention being a boyfriend — even as friends, no, not even classmates — it's worse than that.
Ichika usually texted with girls she wasn't even that close with in class and still exchanged more than four messages.
With close friends or besties, there were times they'd exchange hundreds of messages without running out of things to say.
And as a boyfriend, they should have even more topics to share. But only four lines?
Ichika reached out, picked up her underwear nearby, then crawled under the blanket to put it on.
"Sensei-chan, though it may sound harsh, I think you really are being treated like a backup." Nakano Ichika said seriously.
The next second, she noticed Sakurai Saki's expression become one of disappointment.
Sakurai: (`−ㅿ−´)
"Who confessed first?"
"She did." Sakurai Saki answered.
"Then she probably regrets it. Girls regret things really easily." Nakano Ichika grabbed a few more items of clothing — a beige sweater, white jeans. "Whenever I buy clothes, I regret it afterward too. Chose the wrong style, the color doesn't match, even if I thought it looked nice at first, I get bored after a while."
"Love is probably the same, right?" Ichika, speaking as a theory expert, was totally just talking on paper.
"I think our relationship is going pretty well." Sakurai Saki rebutted.
At this moment, Nakano Ichika no longer cared that her body had been seen.
She felt that matter could be postponed for now.
The most important thing right now — was catching up on the drama! Eating melon is always the best!
Ichika: ( • ̀ω•́ )✧
"You're just thinking that yourself, aren't you? Being overconfident isn't a good thing~" Ichika slipped back under the blanket. She had already finished putting on her top.
"How far have you two gone?"
"Do I… really have to say it?"
Sakurai Saki hesitated, then said, "We've kissed."
"When? On the first date?"
"Right on the day we started dating."
"That fast?"
Nakano Ichika slid her long, straight legs into the jeans, then concluded: "Aiya, Sensei-chan~ you're done for."
"Why?"
"If a girl kisses you on the first day of dating, do you think she's really serious about you? If it were me, I'd at least wait a month before considering it." What Nakano Ichika said wasn't without basis.
A girl who casually kisses a guy like that — could she really be a sincere, innocent girl?
But she didn't know that she was wrong — Hayasaka Ai truly was a sincere and innocent girl like that.
"..." Sakurai Saki fell silent.
"Forget it. You do look kinda pitiful." Onee-chan Ichika smiled. "What just happened — let's consider it a special benefit just for you."
She paused for a few seconds.
Her intention was clear――
"If you ever break up with that girl, the first person you should think of is me, okay? After all, you've already seen all of me."
(,,Ծ‸Ծ,, )
Truthfully, Sakurai Saki was quite her type.
Miku had a decent relationship with Sensei-chan, but clearly no romantic feelings. Nino? Don't even mention her — worst relationship. Yotsuba… was an idiot. And Itsuki, her whole mind was focused on studying right now.
Thinking it through carefully, it seemed like only she, Ichika, was seeing Sensei-chan as a man.
Anyway, Sensei-chan was being treated like a backup right now, so that relationship would fall apart sooner or later. When that time came, she could seize the chance.
"You have feelings for me? I don't recall doing anything that would make you like me." Sakurai Saki was confused.
He really couldn't understand girls.
Even the reason why Fujiwara Chika or Hayasaka Ai liked him — Sakurai Saki himself didn't know.
"Hero saves beauty, I thought it was pretty cool." Nakano Ichika said as she stepped off the bed.
"I didn't intend to save you back then." Sakurai Saki said truthfully.
"...Baka~ I don't like you yet, don't get full of yourself."
Nakano Ichika mimicked Nino's tone and tsundere-walked out of the room.
