Souta grabs the hand of Eruna, who was trying to leave the spot. Eruna, startled and turning around, did not look very pleased, showing no joy on her face.
She gave no sign of lending an ear to the courtship line of someone she had not expected anything from.
”Don’t force it. We all know you like women with big breasts,” she pointed out.
Souta blinked in confusion. “Huh? How do you know that?”
The occasional sense of incongruity that Souta feels is not in the way she speaks, but in the fact that she points out his tastes as if seeing right through his heart. Even if the information had come from somewhere, he has never revealed his own sexual preferences to others.
”It’s obvious. I have you completely figured out,” Eruna replied.
Feeling embarrassed, Eruna scratched her head, unable to understand which part of her own behaviour had poked at his fancy.
Souta looked her straight in the eyes. “Even so, I’m interested in you, and… k-, I want to kiss you!”
There was no lie in Souta’s eyes as he looked at her straight on. Whether it was because he had been poisoned by the atmosphere around them, showing the face of a man whose desire had completely won over his reason, Eruna did not refuse any further.
”You’re honest about your desire. As it happens, I was interested too,” she murmured.
Her switch flips, and like all the cast at this shop, she is very good at pleasing men.
”Eruna, you talk a bit strangely, don’t you?” Souta blurted out.
”Don’t praise me so much. It gets said a lot,” Eruna replied lightly.
Responding to Eruna in a moment that seemed almost honest, unlike a moment ago, Souta was given a sense of special treatment somewhere in his heart. Even so, he had no intention of praising her, and had only blurted out what came to mind.
How he worked out what to pick up on and turn into a compliment was something he would have pressed her on if his reason were working.
Souta let out an awkward laugh. “Ahaha, ahaha… well, never mind.”
”So, one Ticket1? If you want a kiss, it takes two..,” Eruna asked.
Eruna reaches for the Tickets on the table, in a strip of five. As if the earlier explanation had fully gotten across, Souta makes a two-finger sign with his right hand.
”Of course two!” Souta blurted out, leaning forward while panting.
”Don’t be greedy. I like you. I’ll give you plenty of service,” Eruna teased.
On saying so, Eruna separates two from the Tickets on the table that were in a strip of five, tucks them into the wristband on her own right hand, and returns the remaining three to the top of the table.
”For the next five minutes, you may make love as much as you like, okay?” she added smoothly.
”But it’s over the swimsuit, okay? You don’t want to get scolded, right?” she warned with a wink.
Before he can even speak, Eruna faces Souta, who is sitting in the chair, and lowers her hips, straddling his thighs. Following the flow of things, Eruna places a hand under Souta’s chin and brings her own face closer. Coming close enough for her breath to reach him, Opening her mouth slightly, she beckoned to him in a sweet voice. “Come…”
As if waiting for that invitation, Souta pressed his lips against Eruna’s.
Eruna responded to the ravenous kiss as well.
”Nnn… haah, haaah..,” Eruna gasped softly.
In an intense kiss mixed with wet, explicit sounds, tongues entwined naturally, stoking their lust.
Inevitably, Souta’s hand rested on Eruna’s chest, stroking the modest swell. Feeling the unique texture of the school swimsuit against his palm, he felt the heat of her breast across the barrier.
Though excited, her body temperature felt noticeably lower compared to Souta’s.
Repeatedly kissing passionately, Souta felt the contours of her chest with his fingers-the small peaks stiffening into hard buds to embody her excitement. He pinched one between his fingers, rolling it like turning a dial.
”Eruna, this part of you… it’s turning into something incredible..,” Souta muttered breathlessly.
”D-Don’t say it… it’s embarrassing..,” she panted.
Continuing to kiss, she answered as if spitting the words out. Pressing her intimate area against his thigh, Eruna began moving her hips back and forth on her own to seek further stimulation. The soft sensation pressed against his thigh as if massaging it.
”E-Eruna… is it really okay to do that much?” Souta asked, his voice trembling.
”What’re you saying? I’m not breaking rules… ngh, ah, aaah!” Eruna gasped out.
The area around their mouths was thoroughly soaked with each other’s saliva. Utilizing Souta’s thigh, Eruna sought pleasure herself, seemingly aiming for the peak. This must be the service she mentioned. Souta himself wasn’t getting direct physical pleasure from it, but his male sexual arousal welled up.
”See? You’re getting into it too, aren’t you?” she teased.
What Eruna’s hand touched was none other than Souta’s crotch. Even through his trousers, it was clearly visible, swelling up from within.
”Th-There is..,” Souta stammered.
Tracing the shape, Eruna’s palm began moving gently up and down. Feeling a tantalizing sensation, he surrendered control to Eruna while continuing the fierce, ravenous kiss.
”It’s fine for the staff to touch you… and you don’t dislike it… right?” Eruna whispered.
”M-My reason..,” Souta groaned.
Sensations dulled under the flood of sexual pleasure provided by lips, palms, thighs, and crotch. Feeling his reason wither away as instinct expanded, Souta was overcome by the sensation of turning into a primitive male.
Just as the hand that had been groping him over his clothes pretended to follow the natural course of things, and was about to push its way into the cloth separating Eruna’s breasts, a high-frequency sound reached his ears.
Beep beep beep! Beep beep beep!
The source of the sound came from Eruna’s left wrist.
”Ah, time is up..,” Eruna sighed.
”Huh? It’s over?” Souta asked, caught off guard.
The five minutes from the moment he used the Ticket had passed in an instant. For Souta it truly seemed like a single moment, but the two of them had definitely been given five minutes.
Eruna’s forward and backward movement of her hips stopped, and she operated the clock on her left hand, stopping the alarm.
”So, that’s the end. And so… the goodbye kiss,” Eruna said softly.
Eruna showed a slightly lonely expression and exchanged a kiss with Souta again. The tongue that had been pushed in drew a thread of saliva as if reluctant to part at the end, and their lips separated.
”Nn… s, amazing..,” Souta breathed out.
Still in a state of unabated excitement, Souta let it out like nonsense. Eruna rises from his thighs, places an index finger on his lips, and asks with satisfaction:
”Did you like it?” Eruna asked, placing a finger on his lips.
”If you buy me Tickets again, next time I will give you even more service,” she added with a smile.
”S-Something even more amazing?” Souta stammered, eyes brightening.
Even though he had felt it was amazing even in the time just now, expecting something beyond that, the light in Souta’s eyes increased. This is a place to enjoy that kind of act, he thought, feeling like opening the door to the adult world.
Eruna once again pressed her cheek to Souta’s cheek. “Ah, something even more and more intense and amazing is waiting for you,” Eruna whispered in his ear.
Souta swallowed hard, visible even from the side. Covering her departing back with his gaze, Eruna uses her fingers to restore the swimsuit that had dug into her buttocks, exchanges a greeting with Fana, who is a little further away, and asks for a hug.
Feeling a little hollow having burned so hot, the time just now was, without a doubt, something that raised the heat of his body to its limit.
Trivia:
1. Eruna’s uncanny ability to read Souta’s hidden preferences suggests the club’s cast may have some extraordinary means of insight, a subtle hint of the fantasy element in the club.
2. The five-minute Ticket system, enforced by a wrist alarm, shows the club’s rigid commercial structure, where intimacy is strictly metered and rule-bound.
3. Eruna’s noticeably low body temperature against Souta’s warmth quietly foreshadows her non-human, likely elven, nature.
Translation Notes:
1 ↩ The club’s metered currency for services; a kiss requires two Tickets from a strip of five, exchanged before each timed interaction.
