NOVEL WEB Chapter 108.1
Stage 4-15. I Love You
Confessed to by Mashiro, I spent last night feeling like I was walking on air.
But, cruelly, the next day arrived.
Today, everyone went out shopping, leaving only the two of us in the room.
That’s right, just me and Reina stayed behind at the lodge, spending time together until evening.
Which means……
“Today, it’s a stay-at-home date with me, right?”
……What kind of mood am I supposed to be in for this……!?
With the excitement from Mashiro’s confession still lingering in my stomach, now I’m on a date with another girl……?
I used to casually talk about having a harem, but this path is way tougher than I thought!
At least until today, the number of times I’ve been confessed to: two (Alice and Mashiro). Switching my feelings around is proving to be a struggle.
……No good. Confessing to Reina in this state would be disrespectful to both her and Mashiro.
For now, I’ll pour all my energy into loving Reina……!
I pulled her closer, wrapping my arm around her shoulder as we sat side by side on the sofa.
I-It’s a date, so this much should be allowed, right……?
I glanced at Reina’s expression. She was staring right back at me.
Drawn in by her yellow eyes, our faces naturally grew closer and closer——
“——Uga Uga.”
The mood was completely ruined in an instant.
“……It’s been a while since I’ve heard that nickname with zero naming sense.”
“Actually, I quite like it…… Is it no good?”
“……On the contrary, would you like to be called ‘Ina Ina’?”
“Yes. I’d be happy if you called me that, Ouga-kun.”
“……I appreciate you saying that, but let’s still drop the ‘Uga Uga.’”
No matter how lovey-dovey a couple is, that nickname just doesn’t spark any excitement.
“……That’s strange. According to the data, close relationships usually involve calling each other by such nicknames.”
“It’s fine as it is. I thought we were close even without nicknames…… Was I mistaken?”
“……Somehow, Ouga-kun, you’re being unusually assertive today, aren’t you?”
Now that she mentions it, my actions today—suddenly pulling Reina close, bringing my face closer, almost going for a kiss—have been unusually forward, unlike my usual self.
Even now, I haven’t let go of her shoulder, and Reina is leaning her body against mine.
Could it be that after being confessed to by two girls, my latent romantic abilities have been unleashed……!?
“Is it because Mashiro-san confessed to you last night?”
“……Huh!? H-how did you……?”
“I think you’re the only one who thought it wasn’t obvious.”
“……Was I that easy to read?”
“Yes, very. I thought it was quite endearing, actually.”
Seeing me deflated, Reina giggled softly.
“Ah, I see. So that’s why you’re coming on so strong with me too…… That’s how it is, huh?”
“Stop interpreting it with nothing but malice.”
“Fufu, just kidding.”
“When you say it, it doesn’t sound like a joke……”
“Oh my, have I been found out?”
“Huh? Whoa……!?”
Taking advantage of my carelessness, Reina pulled my arm, causing us to tumble onto the sofa.
Her strength, unimaginable from her slender arms, left me lying on top of her.
“Actually, I was planning to have you take me today too, Ouga-kun.”
“……Are you serious?”
“I wouldn’t joke about something like this. As proof, look…… I’m not wearing anything underneath.”
She smoothly lifted her clothes, revealing no bra and exposing the machinery embedded in her body.
Her smooth skin was fully exposed, her slender waist and every curve visible.
Even the small indentation at her center was adorable.
“……Ouga-kun, you’re a pervert, aren’t you? Normally, seeing something like this would be a turn-off.”
“……Reina-san? Could you stop pressing your knee there?”
“But I’m glad you’re a pervert. Just confirming that was worth it for me.”
I’d been staring too intently, earning me a scolding…… but there was no hint of disdain in her voice.
