Episode 71 – VS Reason Zenpen

“I-isn’t it heavy?”

“No, it’s not heavy. Please put more weight on it. Is your neck getting tired?”

What’s hitting me from my ear to my cheek is a soft and fluffy feeling. It is Nagi’s pajamas.

Nagi gently stroked my cheek and I relaxed a little.

However, Nagi kept stroking my cheek. As if to tell me to relax all my strength.

I quietly relaxed completely.

Then, Nagi nodded in satisfaction. And reached her hand to my ear.

“Then I’ll start cleaning your ears, okay?”

“….Yeah. Please.”

I’m honestly very embarrassed. Looking at Nagi looking happy, I couldn’t even say no.

Although I tried to keep my reasoning. Embarrassment wasn’t the only thing swirling in the depths of my heart.

Because the person I love is giving me a lap pillow.

I can’t help but be happy.

Gently, an earpick was pressed against the edge of my ear. Slowly slide in from there.

“If it hurts, please let me know.”

“I understand.”

Nagi’s voice echoed in the quiet room. And the earpick entered my ear.

“…….”

I felt a different sensation than when I did it myself.

The ticklishness and something else mixed together, and unintentionally, I almost let out a voice.

“Fufu.”

Of course, Nagi also noticed. I only moved my eyes to look at her and she seemed to be smiling faintly.

“It’s okay, you know? You don’t have to hold back your voice. I’m the only one who can hear you.”

“N-no. It’s embarrassing.”

“Is that so? That’s too bad.”

Then she continued.

Nagi moved her hand.

“Hm……”

The earpick tickled the inside of my ear.

Although my voice leaked out for a moment, I got used to it little by little.The feeling gradually turned into a pleasant sensation.

Shh……shh. Little by little, my ear was carefully cleaned.

The side of her hand is placed on the cheek. The warmth of Nagi’s body was transmitted from there.

“It feels good.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

I was embarrassed. But these things cannot be conveyed unless you put them into words.

Nagi stopped her hand from time to time, and every time she did, she stroked my cheek.

It was so comfortable that I felt like my brain was going to melt. What a happy time.

Such a time didn’t seem to last long. It seemed that my right ear had finished.

“Then, Souta kun, please turn your head the other way. Please turn your head the other way.”

“Yeah. ……Eh?”

I nodded unintentionally. The other way, that would mean.

Turn toward Nagi? Here?

Nope. That would be too stimulating in many ways. It’s a bit of a hassle, but I’ll move my whole body.

When I tried to get up, Nagi gently grabbed my arm.

“Souta kun?”

“…..What is it?”

“Please turn this way, okay?”

Nagi smiled and pulled me closer. Once again, my head landed on Nagi’s thigh.

“B-but.”

“We’ve already slept together, you know It’s nothing new.”

“Well, yes, that’s true, but.”

But, you know. I feel embarrassed.

Nagi may or may not know that I’m feeling this way…….no. I’m sure she’s aware of it. I’m talking about Nagi after all.

But still, Nagi was smiling.

“O-okay, I get it already.”

Feeling some pressure, I nodded my head.

I changed my position while Nagi looked satisfied. I Put my head on Nag’’s lap.

Toward her knees. I lay there as far away from Nagi’s body as possible.

It’s called a lap pillow. So it’s safe.

I told myself that it was safe.

“Geez, it can’t be helped.”

I was relieved to hear Nagi’s words.

I let my guard down.

“I will punish such a bad boy like this.”

Nagi caught me. She pulled me in with great force. It was so strong that my body stick to hers.

My nose hit the tip of Nagi’s belly.

The sweet fragrance that had been wafting in the air became stronger. The sweet smell is a mixture of body soap and fabric softener.

My head is dizzying and my reasoning is slowly melting away.

But it did not end there.

Mmmm. Something soft and…..firm was placed on my cheek.

“W-with this, you can’t escape ! I-I can see your ear too !”

Even though I could hear Nagi’s words. I couldn’t respond. But for some reason, my thoughts never stopped.

I felt like I had heard this somewhere before.

….People with big breasts can’t see their own feet.

Because they’re pretty much hidden. Nagi may be hard to see it..

And while I was thinking about it. The feeling of being pressed against my cheek doesn’t go away. ……I feel like I’m being pushed harder than before.

“It’s still a little hard to see.”

“Hey.”

My face is being moved a little.

Even though it was my cheek, she only touched the part near my ear. Something soft has invaded the area close to my left eye.

It was warm, fluffy, and fuzzy.

But behind it, I could feel a different kind of softness.

A different sweet smell penetrated my nostrils and stimulated my brain. It stimulated my mind.

The threads of my reasoning were breaking.

Involuntarily, I almost lifted my left hand.

I held my wrist with my right hand.

“…… O-okay. I get it. I really do. At this rate, I can’t hold back anymore. Please don’t do that.”

My parents are at home, so that’s one reason. But more than that.

“I don’t want to hurt Nagi.”

If I lose my reason. I don’t know what will happen.

When I put it into words, Nagi’s strength weakens. I heard her laughing voice in my ear.

“……Fufu. I understand.”

At the same time–I was finally released.

My heart was still beating noisily.

Once on my back. I let out a big sigh.

“I’m sorry, Souta kun. I just wanted to tease you.”

“…Um, it’s. It’s not that I hate it.”

I’m a relatively healthy high schooler, and of course I have desires.

Nagi looked into my face.

Her face is bright red and…….maybe I’m getting red too.

“Souta kun.”

Nagi’s thin lips moved in a small movement and called me with a voice as light as a bell.

“I would like to say one thing.”

“What is it?”

I reply to Nagi, trying to cover my embarrassment. I try to shift my gaze outward as much as possible.

Before I knew it, my gaze was drawn to it. That was close.

“I’m. I’m not going to be hurt by Souta kun, you know. No matter what you did to me.”

“That’s…….”

I was about to ask her what she meant. But I couldn’t do it.

Before I knew it, Nagi’s face was right in front of me. It’s because our lips overlapped.

Just as I was about to take a breath, and just as I was about to say a word. My mouth was half open.

For a moment. It was for a moment, really.

Something soft hit my tongue.

It felt different from lips……lips would be different because it was overlapping each other.

It wasn’t even teeth. It wasn’t done so vigorously, and it wasn’t hard before that. It was soft.

It was as soft as my tongue, if not softer–

“I’m. I’m confident that no matter what Souta kun does to me, I will be happy. ……Ah. There are exceptions. Cheating and that sort of thing.”

“I……I wouldn’t do that.”

“Yes, I know.”

My head is still messed up by this situation.

Even so, I managed to return the words, and Nagi smiled softly.

“I know that Souta kun cares about me.”

Nagi’s finger gently placed on my lips.

“I’m glad to hear that, too. But I’m not that fragile.”

Her thin, beautiful fingers gently pecked my lips. The nails were also well-groomed and did not dig into my skin.

“Especially if it’s from Souta kun. I will accept everything. Even if it hurts a little.”

“……What if it doesn’t hurt just a little bit?”

“I’ll accept it. ….I would like to say that, but.”

Nagi’s fingers returned. She touched her soft lips.

Indirect kiss. I’d like to say that, but it’s too late. My heart is beating loudly. It’s getting faster.

“That doesn’t seem to be good for Souta kun’s mental health. I’m going to find out if there’s any other way that Sota might like.”

“I-it’s not like I don;’t like that kind of thing.”

“Is that so? I don;t mind if it’s just going to leave bruises for a few days.”

I don’t want to leave bruises on Nagi’s pure white skin. Or rather, I don’t have the hobby of taking pleasure in seeing people in pain.

“Then, when the time comes, please don’t hesitate to tell me. Souta kun’s favorite thing.”

“…You too, Nagi.”

“Yes !”

She replies with a carefree, childlike, innocent smile.

Once again, I remembered the content of our current conversation and felt the heat that had calmed down. I turned my head to the side as if to deceive myself.

“Can you continue?”

“Of course !”

I close my eyes while listening to Nagi’s words.

“When you’re done, it’s my turn next.”

……Come to think of it, she said the ear-cleaning was an opening act. What will she do to me once the ear-cleaning is over?

I almost shuddered.

I wondered if my reasoning would be able to withstand it.
