My Japanese Childhood Friend Is Too Flirty

43. At Home, with My Childhood Friend, One Night. (5)

“Woo-joo~chan.”

“……huh?”

“I’m asking if you like this kind of thing.”

‘……Of course I like it.’

What guy in the world wouldn’t like this.

Of course, the world is wide and people have different tastes, so if you look, there’d probably be someone somewhere who didn’t. But at least that’s not me.

Black high heels, fishnet stockings, a corset emphasizing her hips and chest, a cute rabbit ear headband…

All of it was the kind of stuff you couldn’t get enough of, and like any other guy, I’d definitely go crazy for it.

But I couldn’t say that out loud.

It’s not like I’m some kind of pervert who’s dying to reveal his s*xual preferences to his childhood friend.

……But.

Aki was looking at me, her body slightly turned towards me, like she absolutely had to get an answer.

“Answer.”

“…….”

“You’re not going to answer…?”

Not just her words, but her eyes, the atmosphere, her tone of voice, her expression and everything else.

Aki, pressing in on me with every paralinguistic and nonverbal tactic she could muster.

But I desperately feigned ignorance, stalling for time.

It was a long shot, but maybe, if I just held out, Aki would give up… or so I hoped.

“Fine. So, that’s how it’s gonna be, Woojoo-chan…?”

Aki muttered, her voice heavy with meaning.

As if having reached some decision, she tore her gaze from me and fixed it on the monitor.

Then, her hand moved, clicking and clacking, as she began to manipulate the mouse.

“……?”

Things I’d never seen before appeared on the monitor screen.

App activity, privacy…

What the hell was all of this?

[Yesterday]

[9:12 PM. Visited: s*xy Bunny Girl Costume Legend]

[9:11 PM. Visited: Hot Bloomer Pics]

[2 days ago]

[10:42 PM. Hot girl with bruma……. visited.]

[10:35 PM. s*xy bunny girl with 3 black man……. visited.]

[3 days ago]

[8:47 PM. Pink-haired actress ID recommendation visited.]

[8:42 PM. A collection of sites every man should know visited.]

Just staring, not knowing what was going on, the titles and site links were appearing so starkly.

It didn’t take long to realize this was all stuff I’d looked at in the past.

“……?!”

Wait, why is all of this coming up…?!

I didn’t even know how Aki was checking my history, but just the fact that it was all being exposed sent me into a panic, and I started squirming.

But unlike me, who was freaking out, Aki remained completely calm.

Regardless of my wriggling, she kept a tight grip on the mouse, hovered the cursor over a site link, and glanced at me.

“I’ll give you a chance, Uju~chan.”

“W-what chance?”

“Do you want to look at these sites with me, or answer the questions I ask…?”

“…….”

Is this that… that ‘hellish either/or’ thing people talk about…?

I seriously considered it.

Would it be better to browse through the countless sites I’d visited with Aki?

Or should I just answer a question from Aki and be done with it?

The conclusion came quickly.

“I, I’ll answer.”

Better this than having my childhood friend find out about the… *things* I’ve seen.

Thinking that, I answered quickly.

“Okay, I see. Then… I’ll ask one more time.”

Aki, glancing at me, asked the question.

“You like bunny girls, Uju-chan?”

“…………No, it’s not exactly that. Uh, well, what I mean is, um.”

“Those hot-as-hell bloomers shots… well, let’s start with this, shall we?”

“I, I like them…!”

Without realizing it, the answer spilled out.

“You like what?”

“Bunny girls, I mean….”

“Just bunny girls…?”

“……I, I like bloomers too.”

Even though we’re the same age, I always spoke formally, but being so flustered, I didn’t even have time to think about that.

“Anything else?”

“Anything else…. Um, honestly I don’t really know, so, I only really like those two things…”

A 100% pure, unadulterated truth.

Aki seemed to sense it, staring intently at me before slightly averting her gaze.

“Hnn, I see…”

“……”

What the hell did I just say…?

‘You’re crazy, Joo Woo-joo…’

Confessing so blatantly about liking bunny girls and bloomers, in front of Aki of all people.

I’m seriously nuts, totally nuts…

“……Yeah, I get it.”

*Shhht.*

Aki got up from the chair.

She started walking towards the bed, *tud-tud*, and I stared blankly at her back before asking hastily,

“Aki, where are you going?”

“Sleepy. …Gonna sleep.”

“Huh, sleep…?”

She was fine just a minute ago, and now suddenly she’s sleepy.

Something wasn’t adding up, but I couldn’t point it out directly. Because if I did, she might bring up those websites I was looking at again, and I’d have nothing to say.

“Ah, okay. Got it. Then lie down, I’ll turn off the light.”

I didn’t know what was going on, but she was saying she was going to sleep, so it was a good thing anyway. I’d let Aki sleep in my room and go sleep in the living room myself.

Thinking that, I watched her lie down on the bed and turned off the light. Then I carefully started to move to leave the room, when…

“Where are you going, Woo-joo~chan?”

Aki called out, stopping me.

“Living room, why?”

“Why are you going to the living room?”

“Why? Because I need to sleep too…”

“Why go out to the living room to sleep?”

*Thump thump.*

The sound of bedsheets being patted echoed in the dark.

“You can just, sleep here with me…can’t you?”

“……”

I’d kinda suspected it when she grabbed me, but she really is asking me to sleep with her.

This time, I was nervous in a different way, and I swallowed hard, trying to hide it from Aki.

“Why? You don’t want to sleep with me because I’m not a bunny girl?”

“……”

She’s pulling out a gambit here.

If she puts it like that, there’s no way I can tell her to sleep separately.

‘Yeah, well…’

If I left a drunk person alone on the bed, she might fall off.

Having completed my rationalization, I slowly approached the bed.

As I got closer, even in the darkness, Aki’s silhouette and clothes became vividly clear.

Naturally, her outfit was the same as before: a crop top that exposed her navel, and dolphin shorts.

It was the kind of attire that, if we slept close, would mean her bare skin would be sticking to me all over the place and it’d be super awkward.

“……Can I lie down?”

“Yeah, lie down next to me.”

I asked for permission again, for no real reason, then crept into the space beside Aki.

This is definitely my room, my bed, so why am I so tense…?

I swallowed hard, twice, just from moving a little, then quietly turned onto my right side.

I did that because if I lay facing up, my eyes might keep wandering to places they shouldn’t.

Aki, as if thinking of my turned back as a body pillow, stretched her arm out, wrapped it around my stomach, and then pulled me in tight.

“……Uhn.”

“……”

Something soft kept touching and rubbing against my back.

That indescribable softness made me gasp, and I shut my mouth tight, breathing only through my nose.

“Woo-joo~chan.”

“……Yeah?”

“Besides bloomers or bunny girls, isn’t there anything else you like?”

“Anything else…?”

“Yeah, anything else.”

Anything else.

If I look for it, there would be lots, and actually, a few things vaguely come to mind, but I’m not so clueless as to start listing them off in this situation.

“I can’t really think of anything right now…”

“Really? Really nothing?”

“Yeah, well… but why?”

“Just, I was thinking maybe I’d buy one and try it on… you know.”

“Buy one and try it on…?”

“Yeah.”

“……”

For a moment, I thought I’d misheard.

Aki.

What.

Try on what…?

“Woo-joo~chan.”

“……Huh?”

“If you could see just one, a bloomers or a bunny girl, which would you want to see?”

“Huh? Uh…”

Suddenly being asked to choose between the two.

Bloomers were those super short athletic shorts mostly worn by female track athletes, and a bunny girl was, well, a costume imitating a rabbit.

Both had their own charm and appeal, so it wasn’t easy to pick one.

“5, 4, 3…”

Aki started counting down, and I felt a surge of urgency.

“B-bloomers…!”

“Bloomers…?”

“Yeah, bloomers. ……It just looked like they’d be easy to get on and off.”

“Heh…. Woo-joo~chan, you pervert.”

“Why, why am I a pervert?”

“You never said you’d let me take them off, but you’re already thinking about taking them off…?”

“…….”

That’s not what I meant.

That’s really not what I meant….

“……Heh, just kidding. Just kidding. Okay, I’ll wear them for you later.”

“Really…?”

“Yeah, really. …But.”

*Tap tap*. Aki lightly taps my shoulder.

She doesn’t say anything but it seems like she wants me to turn and look at her so I quickly do.

“Cosplay requires a separate payment, Woo-joo~chan.”

“A separate payment?”

Is she saying I have to pay?

If I could pay to see Aki in bloomers, I’d pay whatever it takes…

“The payment is…. this.”

While I’m having these slightly rotten thoughts, Aki taps her lips with her index finger.

“I’ll take a goodnight kiss from you, Woo-joo~chan, as payment. …How about it?”

“…….”

My heart skipped a little.

An extra charge for a goodnight kiss from me?

Isn’t this something I’d be happy to pay for…?

“You don’t want to?”

“…No.”

Like I would.

A chance to kiss her legally *and* see her in her bloomers, kicking that away would be the act of a complete moron.

And I was no moron, so I quickly moved closer to Aki.

In case she changed her mind, without a word, I kissed her.

I lightly pressed my lips against hers, the smell of sweet beer and toothpaste filling the air.

But apparently, that wasn’t enough for Aki.

“…One more time.”

She said, tapping the back of my hand.

“You want me to do more…?”

“Yeah. …The fee’s not enough.”

“Is that so…?”

If it wasn’t enough, what could I do?

This time I put my hands around her waist, pulling her close into a light hug.

“……”

“……Mmm.”

Another kiss.

Our lips pressed together, long enough for our breaths to mingle a couple of times.

“……Okay?”

I’d kissed her as long as Aki wanted, and I lazily opened my eyelids.

We were so close we could fall on each other.

No, Aki, whose lips were already more than close enough, said:

“……Just one more time.”

Even though she’d already gotten her fill, she kept asking for more kisses.

And I didn’t hate it.

“……”

“……Hnn.”

Until Aki fell asleep.

Over and over.

“……”

“……”

Over and over.

“……”

“……Uju~chaaan.”

“Yeah, Aki.”

“……Nn, it’s nothing.”

Kissed.
