「T-time out! You say all that, but Miyu! You’ve k-k-kissed me while I was asleep, haven’t you! Attacked me while I was unconscious!」

I had this card in my hand.
I considered keeping it within my heart forever, but if I don’t use this card now, she’ll have the upper hand. It’ll be game over.

With my card played, Miyu’s cheek twitched.
Her poker face persists… But her ears are slowly turning red.
It’s working. I can do it. I can still turn the table on her.

「… You noticed?」
「I did! I knew it all along! You’re being so mean to me right now, but in reality, you love me, don’t you! Right! Right, right, right!」

Once again, Yandere mode activate.
Like a protagonist cornered by a Yandere girl, I expected Miyu to be flustered, but she confidently answered back.

「I’ve got no complaints about your looks. To the point that I wanna ravage you in your sleep.」
「Now you’re being scarily honest.」
「But your character? Nope. Not cute at all.」

So my personality is the problem here?
But it’s not like I sell myself as cute. I’m more cool than cute, after all.

「I like cute and mild-mannered girls, you see. So if you get a bit more girly, a bit cuter, I might consider it.」

Saying so, Miyu smiled at me again.
A smile full of confidence and composure… It’s bewitching; erotic, even. A chill ran through me.
My Yandere mode (lol) can’t even compare. She’s like the real deal.　

「W-wait, you say cuter, but I’m already plenty girly and cute. I’m a super beauty, after all.」
「A cute girl wouldn’t call herself cute, you know?」
「You say that, but I don’t even know what to do…」
「Crazy how you lack self-awareness. First off, no more using *’ore’*¹, okay?」
「That just comes out sometimes; I can’t control it.」
「I’ve told you to stop it since forever, right?… Hey, close your legs!」

Miyu sharply points at my thighs. Beneath my skirt, I’m sitting cross-legged.
I hurriedly closed my knees and corrected my posture. Miyu’s sharp gaze moves to my neck.

「Your blouse is too revealing. You plan on being a gravure model, or something?²」
「This is… it gets hot when I move around, you know…」
「Also, for some reason, you smell like swimming pool.」
「Well, yeah, I did go inside a pool today.」
「… Why, though? What were you doing? A first kiss smelling like chlorine—that’s such a buzzkill, you know? Where’s your usual nice scent?」

I got scolded.
In the first place, it was Miyu’s fault that I was driven to that level of desperation.

「But I thought that you got taken by someone else… I was *this* close to getting de-virginized by a guy from the soccer club, you know?」
「Again, could you stop saying weird stuff like that? What’s wrong with you, seriously?」
「But Miyu, you…」
「Enough buts already. First condition, you absolutely cannot disobey me. Understood?」
「Can’t disobey you?… Why are you making it like some sort of punishment game for me?」
「*Hmm*? Don’t like it? Then I guess your *love* isn’t all that, Misaki.」
「T-that’s not true, though! I really love you, though!」

I leaned forward, refuting her. Miyu’s lips curl up into a grin.

「Then, if you obey properly… I’ll give you a reward.」
「Reward?」

As I parroted her last word, Miyu re-positioned herself. Bringing her shoulder close, her face approached mine.

And without any hesitation, she touched her lips with mine. Kissing me, our lips smack together over and over again.

It’s a kiss from the girl I’ve been in love with forever… But it almost doesn’t feel real to me. I could only sit still and let things take their course.

It was so sudden, so maybe my mind hasn’t caught up yet. It doesn’t feel like reality, or rather, it feels like I’m in a dream.

Eventually, her head slowly retreated.
After licking her lips, Miyu looked straight at me and asked,

「Do you hate it?」

I shook my head.

「Do you want more?」

I nodded.

「Want *me* to do it?」

I just silently stared back at her.
For some reason, I couldn’t say anything. But no matter how you look at it, that was an affirmative response.

Miyu held my shoulders, pulling me to her. This time, she sandwiched my upper lip with her lips and squeezed down on it. So soft, so fragrant.

Getting the urge to fight back, I moved my lips in an attempt to mimic her.
But as if to tell me not to move, she sucked both of my lips between hers.

「Alright, that’s enough.」

After quickly parting from my lips, Miyu had a gleeful smile.
An expression I’ve never seen before. Gleeful Miyutan seems to be waiting for my input.
So I honestly shared my thoughts.

「Miyu, y-you’re pretty good at this…」
「Really?」
「… Did you practice with your boyfriend?」
「I told you, that was all a lie. You’re really holding a grudge, huh?」
「Then, with someone else?」
「I’m telling you, I haven’t. It’s my first time, you know? Misaki is my first time.」

Ah, s̲h̲i̲t̲.
I feel my chest welling up.
It hurts; I can’t breathe; I’m so happy.

「Isn’t that great, Misaki-chan? You shared a fwost kiss with the girl you like.」

She’s completely taunting me with baby talk, but I really can’t help but be happy.
I honestly nodded.

「Yeah. Miyu, from now on you can’t do that with people other than me, okay?」
「Why so possessive all of a sudden?」
「I really can’t handle it, okay? NTR and all that.」

I realized it after this event.
No, don’t tell me I have the talent for the cuck stuff. Dark Misaki route won’t be more interesting, you hear me?
As if seeing through my thoughts, Miyu smiled.

「*Hh~mm*, that’ll depend on your efforts, you know? You love me, don’t you? Then try your best so I would never ever think of even looking at anyone else.」

For some reason, every single sentence she speaks is so sexy.
She’s unusually talkative compared to normal. But it feels a bit off; like a bit too theatrical.

For a poor-talker like Miyu to be able to talk this smoothly… Wait, don’t tell me…
Has she been thinking of these lines for a long time? If that’s the case, isn’t that so adorable?

She was talking a lot of s̲h̲i̲t̲ before, but Miyu definitely loves me, doesn’t she?
After all, if Miyu weren’t interested in me, she wouldn’t go through this convoluted stuff.

Jeez, she just can’t be honest with herself. But I like that about her.
Since she went out of her way to write up her script, I guess I’ll match her energy.

「*Fuu*… Just you watch, Miyu. *I*’ll³ make you fall so hard, you’ll never look at anyone ever again.」
「Again, I told you not to use *’ore’*.」

Up until now, I’ve been trying to be considerate in my own way. I assumed that Miyu normally likes boys, after all.
But since that isn’t the case, I don’t need to hold back any more.

「*Eh~* But in that case, maybe I’ll see more of Misaki’s cute side, then? I’m looking forward to it~」

She’s clapping without a care in the world.
From Miyu’s perspective, she must be thinking that she already has me completely by the nose.

But is that truly the case?
This situation, I’m going to take full advantage of it in my own way. Drown the schemer in their own scheme, as they say.

Cute and mild-mannered? You’re kidding yourself.
I don’t plan on being a suck-up forever at Miyu’s mercy. In the first place, a former man wagging his tail to the whims of a girl is so uncool.

I guess I’ll have to turn up the heat and use my Super Handsome Beauty charms to make this twisted woman fawn all over me.
