I, Shimizaki Kurumi-chan, was receiving a kind of ‘early thank-you’ gift. If I still held the old values from before the class teleportation, I never would have accepted. But in this harsh new world—where the girls from the 5th Division helped me almost every day—my sense of right and wrong had changed a lot.
”Ah♡ Mm♡ …Both my heart and body feel so warm♡ Please keep going, I want to forget all the worries…♡ Uah, no♡ I’m feeling so happy…♡” Kurumi-chan’s soft moans filled the room as she smiled gently.
Her happiness seemed to spill over like a gentle wave. From just looking at her, I thought she was straightforward, but she showed a softer, sweeter side I hadn’t seen before.
Wanting to bring her more comfort, I knelt behind her and held her close, wrapping my arms around her tall, graceful figure. I moved slowly, careful to make her feel cherished and cared for.
”Ah♡ Aah… This feeling is so nice♡ Even though I just felt happy, I want to feel it again♡ Being with you, Takumi-kun, makes me so joyful♡ I want to share this feeling every day♡” Kurumi-chan whispered warmly.
Soft thumps, gentle touches
Light strokes, soft sighs♡
From this angle, I could see the gentle glow of happiness on her skin, and the warmth spreading between us. When I placed my hand on Kurumi-chan’s shoulder, I felt her pulse of excitement, subtle but clear.
”Hey, can I ask you something?” Kurumi-chan said softly, turning to look at me with shining eyes.
”What is it?” I answered, smiling.
”I want to spend more time with you… Since I’m the only one here with some experience, can we be special friends who always support each other? I won’t act like a girlfriend, but I want to be close to you every day♡ Even if it’s just as your close friend, I want to be your special person♡”
”If that’s what you want, I’m okay with it,” I replied gently.
”Thank you♡ If other girls want to be special friends too, I won’t feel jealous. We can share kindness together… Mmm… I’m feeling so happy again… I wish I had opened up sooner… Fah!? No, don’t touch there…♡”
Soft warmth, gentle touches♡
Quiet movements, tender feelings♡
Kurumi-chan’s gentle smile grew brighter—more open and affectionate than before. When I brought my hand, a little damp from her kindness, to her lips, she smiled and accepted it sweetly with soft slurp slurp sounds.
”Mmm, haa…♡ My heart and lips have been touched… I’m completely yours now, Takumi-kun…♡ I want to be your special friend forever♡”
”You know some really sweet words, huh?” I teased softly.
”Yeah, Kahoru-chan taught me. She said, ‘Since I’m the one who’s spent the most time with Takumi-chi, I’ll teach you all the things that make him happy!’ She was excited to help me. Do you mind girls who get this close?”
”No, I love it. I’m glad Kurumi’s opening up like this for me.”
”Good… I’ll try to be even closer, so please take care of me♡”
Soft touches, warm embraces♡
Gentle strokes, quiet sighs…♡
”Mmm… I think I’m getting overwhelmed. Kurumi, I want to share all my feelings with you now.”
”Yeah, share everything with me. Fill me with your kindness and make me feel like I’m really special to you… Mmm, I’m… again… ngaa♡”
Heartbeat, soft pulse♡
Gentle warmth, tender touch♡
Still close in our gentle embrace, we shared a deep moment together. For me, it was a memorable time of opening up fully, leaving behind old fears. Kurumi-chan’s warmth held me steady, and I felt safe and loved.
”Ah♡ Takumi-kun’s kindness is filling my heart…♡ I love you, Takumi-kun…♡”
”I love you too, Kurumi.”
”Yeah… No matter what, please take good care of your special friend, Kurumi.”
I hugged Kurumi-chan close, savoring the quiet happiness between us. Then, slowly pulling back, I felt the soft warmth settle. I’d have to make sure everything was neat tomorrow…
”Ah, Takumi-kun’s warmth is leaking…♡ Wait, I’ll help you clean up now. When you feel ready again, I’ll comfort you with my hugs, and then we can share this feeling again…♡” Kurumi-chan said as she turned and smiled, ready to support me with all her heart.
We spent time enjoying quiet moments, whispering softly, sharing secrets under the covers, deepening our bond, and becoming even closer through our friendship.
Just before dawn, Chinatsu-chan quietly peeked in. She teased us with a playful smile. “Oh my, the scent of a long night… Your heart must be full. Looks like you were both very close. Hey, Takumi-kun, why is Kurumi-chan wearing a blindfold and her wrists tied? When it’s our turn to be your special friends, should we also trust you completely and let you care for us like this, darling♡?”
With no choice, I let her help me tidy up as a friendly penalty for sneaking in—and gave her one last kind smile. Was that a penalty… or a blessing?
Afterwards, Chinatsu-chan and Kurumi-chan gently cleaned themselves, got ready, and joined the group to head out collecting magic stones. But that night, we faced dawn with just a little more hope than usual, ready for a different tomorrow.
