Kita felt as though the entire world were filled with malice toward her.
If she really had bought the wrong instrument, then what had all her effort been for?
Her confidence nearly collapsed, but she still tried to struggle against reality.
“Maybe that isn’t necessarily true.
What if I’m simply untalented…?” Kakeru only asked her to show him a photo.
From what he knew about Kita across two lifetimes, she would definitely have photographed her “guitar.” Even if she had never posted it online, there had to be a picture in her gallery.
Sure enough, Kita had taken one.
She struggled to retrieve her phone from the clothes beside the bed and began searching through her photos.
At the same time, she found something strange.
They had only been together for a short while, yet she could already look at his body without feeling particularly embarrassed.
She did not realize that she had already accepted Kakeru as her man deep within her heart.
Naturally, there was no longer any reason to feel shy around him.
After everything they had shared, both physically and emotionally, that change was hardly surprising.
Returning to the main issue, Kita soon showed him a picture of her “guitar.” As expected, there was no mistake.
It was a bass.
Kakeru immediately confirmed it for her.
“Yes.
That’s definitely a multi-string bass.” Kita suddenly felt that the world had become unbearably cold.
She squeezed closer into his embrace, as though his warmth were the only thing keeping her alive in this cruel world.
Kakeru could only stroke her head in silence and give her time to accept reality.
However, Kita had clearly forgotten that neither of them was wearing any clothes.
With her soft body pressed against him, Kakeru soon reacted once again.
Kita noticed it and immediately became embarrassed.
“Didn’t we just finish?
How are you already…?” Kakeru looked slightly awkward as well.
“I don’t know.
Maybe I just have too much energy…” He had already spent time with Hatsune, Seika, and Kita today.
The latter two had even gone several rounds with him, yet he was already energetic again.
He could only call it a natural gift.
Kita looked conflicted.
However, after seeing how uncomfortable he appeared, she eventually sighed helplessly.
“Today was my first time, and I really can’t handle any more.
Would it be okay if I helped you another way?” Kakeru naturally agreed.
Just imagining her sweet lips made his blood begin to heat up again.
Kita glanced at his excited expression with an embarrassed look.
Still, she slowly moved lower and reached out to touch him.
Even after everything they had already done, seeing him this close still left her stunned.
‘So big…’ Even though she had already felt it firsthand, seeing it with her own eyes was still a massive visual shock.
Swallowing hard, Kita began to savor it.
She started with tentative laps of her tongue before fully indulging, from the shaft to the head, licking every inch.
Her pace was still a bit slow at first, cautious and inexperienced, but she gradually grew more confident.
Kakeru was enjoying himself immensely.
Just as he was about to help speed things up, his phone screen suddenly lit up.
Normally, he would never answer a call during such a moment of pleasure.
However, after glancing at the caller ID, he decided to take it.
At that moment, Kita seemed to have made up her mind—or perhaps she wanted a little revenge.
The instant Kakeru answered the phone, she began to take the entire length into her mouth.
But it was still too big.
Even with all her effort, she could only fit a small portion inside.
Kakeru let out a muffled groan of pleasure.
The call had already connected, and the woman on the other end clearly heard him.
However, she did not interpret the sound in that way and instead asked with concern.
“Yanagi-kun, what was that sound just now?
Are you alright?” Kakeru smiled and gently patted Kita’s puffed-out cheek before answering.
“I’m fine, Kirisu-sensei.
I hurried to answer the phone and accidentally bumped into something.” The woman on the other side seemed relieved.
“That’s good.
I didn’t call for anything particularly important.
Your medical leave ends tomorrow, so I wanted to check how you were feeling.” “If you’re still unwell, taking another two days to rest would be perfectly fine.” Kakeru immediately intended to refuse.
He had already accomplished his original goal, so it was time for him to return to his normal life.
“There’s no need, Sensei.
I’m almost completely better.
I can return to school tomorrow…” However, Kita chose that exact moment to tease him again.
Because of her movements, the tone of his final words became extremely strange.
Kirisu Mafuyu clearly noticed it.
Still, not wanting to discourage a student who was eager to return, she continued calmly.
“You don’t need to force yourself.
Come if you’re truly feeling well.
Otherwise, staying home for another day is fine.” Kakeru gave a couple of casual responses before ending the call.
He could not help reflecting on how gentle Kirisu-sensei truly was.
All the effort he had spent searching through schools and attending every one of her figure-skating performances had not been wasted.
Then there was the promise he had carefully guided her into making back then…
‘I’ll have her fulfill it after I return to school.’ After all, a promise was a promise.
For now, however, he had to deal with the mischievous girl beneath him.
Kakeru smiled, but there was clearly something dangerous hidden within it.
Kita shuddered slightly.
She pulled away and asked cautiously, “Can we call a truce?” Kakeru’s expression made his answer obvious.
After everything she had done, she still wanted a truce?
She had to be joking.
He immediately grabbed Kita’s head with both hands.
Panic flared in Kita’s eyes.
She swallowed hard and asked cautiously, “What are you trying to do?” Kakeru’s smile widened.
“What am I trying to do?
I’m going to do something that makes us both very happy, of course!” He slowly applied pressure, guiding her closer.
Kita’s eyes widened as she looked up at him with a pitiful, watery expression, silently pleading for mercy.
But Kakeru had no intention of letting this alluring little troublemaker off so easily.
He kept his movements controlled yet firm, helping her find a rhythm while using his hands to speed things up.
He might not forgive her mischief tonight, but he had no desire to truly hurt her.
This time, Kita had truly brought the consequences upon herself.
…
It encourages me!
