Chapter 77: What I want to do with Miyagi and what Miyagi wants to do with me — 77

I don’t know if Miyagi chose or gave up.
However, she did not run away.
I let go of her hand and she is still in front of me.
I called Miyagi to the music preparation room just to have a little chat with her, who was enjoying the festival without me, not because I wanted to kiss her.
Two days of cultural festivals awaited me.
Not exactly, but I didn’t expect Miyagi to utter words that could be taken that way, so what was supposed to be just a little chat turned out to be this.
To begin with, Miyagi is in the wrong place to say something unexpected.
I didn’t expect Miyagi to remember my words, which were half in jest, and I don’t expect her to say them like that. I think it is a reason to go too far.
「Miyagi.」
I call out a little and touch her cheek, but she doesn’t run away. She is in front of me, though she seems to be displeased. That means Miyagi has agreed to what I am about to do, so I slowly move my face closer. Miyagi does not move. But she looks at me like she’s about to complain.
「Close your eyes.」
「I’ll close my eyes even if you don’t say so.」
The voice I hear is laced with frustration, and I can tell that she has no intention of closing her eyes honestly. This kind of thing happens often, and the hand that remains touching the cheek is flattened against the cheek. Still, Miyagi stares at me without closing her eyes, so I don’t think she is the person who is about to be kissed.
Not that I’m the kind of person who cares about the atmosphere.
I have no choice but to close my eyes first and put my lips on hers.
The sensation is the same as when we kissed on summer vacation.
It was soft and warm, something I knew all too well. But only the heart was different. Perhaps it’s the location of the school, but my heartbeat is surprisingly loud, even to myself. Unable to bear the heartbeat that continued to echo through my body, I let go of her lips after just a brief touch, and she squeezed my arm.
I followed the hand that held my arm tightly, not hard enough to shake it off, and looked at Miyagi. She looked like she was about to bite me, but she didn’t. It’s hard to say that she accepted me with open arms, but she doesn’t seem to dislike my eyes. If Miyagi wanted to bite me, she would have already bitten me.
Then what does this move mean—
Dropping my gaze, I look at the hand holding my arm.
「Miyagi, it hurts.」
No reply.
I know she can hear me, but her hand won’t leave my arm. The hand gripped me so tightly that her fingernails dug into it.
I looked at Miyagi’s face and saw a grim expression.
I’m going to bring my face a little closer.
Miyagi doesn’t say anything or move.
As I leave the body, I was pulled by the arm.
I don’t mind Miyagi trying to hold me back with small gestures like this.
「Can I do it again?」
I know the answer without having to ask, but I bother to ask. Miyagi doesn’t open her mouth or nod. Instead, she pulled on my arm again, as if urging me on.
I don’t want her to run away, so I don’t tell her, but I think this kind of reaction is cute.
I slowly bring our faces together. This time Miyagi closes her eyes first and our lips meet.
My heart is still beating loud and fast.
I’ve kissed Miyagi so many times.
I’ve done it so much that I’m used to it.
But maybe I’m nervous.
I only lightly touch them, I don’t press them hard or lick them, but my lips feel awfully hot. When I grabbed Miyagi’s shoulder, my hand seemed to get hot too. My heart is even more restless and distressed by the increased touching.
I didn’t want to let go, but when I pulled my face away, Miyagi’s hand was still holding mine. But the force is not so strong and it doesn’t hurt.
I wondered if I should kiss her again, and then I put my lips on hers more strongly than before.
Miyagi does not run away.
My heart also matures a little.
Not wanting to leave Miyagi, she kisses me longer than the first time, longer than the second time.
Miyagi is closer to me than with anyone else.
Our body temperatures are mingling in the touched areas.
All of those things feel good.
When I touched my lips with the tip of my tongue to feel more of Miyagi’s heat, she indeed pushed my shoulders. When I honestly took three steps away, Miyagi opened her mouth.
「I didn’t say you could kiss me like that.」
「What kind of kiss you refer?」
「What do you mean, like right now?」
「You’ll have to be very clear about that.」
「If you don’t know, don’t give me any kisses.」
At times like this, Miyagi is not sure what to say. It is a favorable reaction, but I am too eager to know what will happen if I pursue the matter. And Miyagi says wildly.
As is often the case, I don’t want to put her in a bad mood. But I also want to see Miyagi’s reaction a little more.
「If it wasn’t like now, it would be fine.」
I take two steps closer and pull my face closer, thinking she’s going to be offended, and I hear a gruff voice.
「It’s only been about a month since then. You’ve got to be a little more patient.」
I am sure that “that” refers to the last day of summer vacation. Since that day, our lips have never touched each other.
「That means Miyagi was holding back and wanted to kiss me, is that okay?」
I think I’m being mean, but I’m interested to see what kind of answer I get.
「Don’t interpret things in a strange way. Is it interesting to say all those things?」
「It’s interesting.」
「Sendai-san, you are the worst.」
I wanted to kiss you.
Miyagi would never have said such a thing, but there was me who wanted her to say so.
We don’t want something like the summer vacation to happen.
We can’t let that kind of thing continue.
I had thought so, but now that I had kissed Miyagi again, I didn’t know why I had thought that. Even the initial promise seems meaningless.
「It’s not like it’s okay to just kiss. This kind of thing isn’t against the rules anymore.」
「It’s not fine.」
Miyagi says firmly.
「Then make it a rule that it’s okay.」
「I won’t.」
In exchange for 5,000 yen, I listen to Miyagi’s orders.
It was just something we did to pass the time, but now it has gone beyond the realm of passing the time. Promises made in the past are so depressing that Miyagi, who stubbornly tries to follow the rules, is too hard-headed and disgusting.
There is a useful word in the world: resourcefulness.
As long as no one finds out, I can talk to her at school, I can kiss her. As long as no one knows about our relationship, there should be no problem with such a loose rule.
「Don’t you want to kiss me that bad?」
「It’s not fair to ask that way.」
「That means you want to. Just give in.」
「…If you keep doing this, Sendai-san will go far away anyway.」
「We can take the same college.」
「Sendai-san, stay here.」
「Eh?」
I heard words that Miyagi would never say and involuntarily stared at her face, and her lips were drawn tightly together.
「Miyagi?」
I called out to her, but she didn’t answer.
Instead, my gaze is removed. I wanted her to look at me, so I touched her cheek, and Miyagi made a cold sound.
「Don’t touch me.」
I press my palm against her hand as if to ignore her voice. Miyagi would usually brush my hand away, but today I can’t.
「Sendai-san, give back my tie.」
Miyagi utters the words that make me reasonably let go of the hand on her cheek. I had no reason to refuse, so I honestly took off her tie and gave it to her, and Miyagi returned my tie to me.
Before she can say anything else, I tell her about the other thing I have to return.
「The blouse, I can give it to Miyagi. You won’t have a chance to wear it anymore, so keep it. Should I return Miyagi’s blouse?」
I told her I brought her blouse, but there is nothing in the bag that should be returned. I can’t return it if she want me to, but I don’t feel like I would be in trouble.
「It doesn’t have to be today.」
Miyagi entrusted the blouse to me, albeit in a vague way. Then she added a few words to change the subject.
「Why did you call me up and stuff today?」
「We haven’t seen each other in a long time, and I wanted to have a little chat.」
Before the festival, Miyagi seemed to have little interest in the event. But the Miyagi I saw today looked quite happy.
After all, Miyagi seems to be happy even if she doesn’t see me, and I’m sure she would only make a sour face even if I went to see her. And I can’t even talk to Miyagi. In addition, the cultural festival that I enjoyed last year was not so much fun this year. It should have been the same as last year, but it didn’t seem the same.
So I sent a message to Miyagi.
Idon’t want to finish the festival in a boring way.
That’s the only reason.
「Is that what you were talking about earlier?」
「I went a little overboard, but we’ve talked about it, right?」
If we put it all together roughly, there should be no problem in saying that we have talked. Miyagi looked dissatisfied and mumbled, 「Yes, but…」but she didn’t seem to intend to take it out on me as a complaint.
「I think it’s time for us to go home.」
When I told her it was more of a decision than a question, Miyagi nodded.
I have not been here for a long time, but it has been quite some time since the festival ended. The sun is setting early and it must be already dark outside.
「Ahead of you?」
I ask in consideration of Miyagi, who does not want to be seen walking together.
「…Sendai-san, you go first. I’ll follow you to the shoe lockers.」
「Is it okay if someone might see you following me?」
「I’ll be far enough away that I don’t have to worry about being seen, and besides——」
「Besides?」
I could somewhat imagine what followed the interrupted words.
Still, as I listened back, I heard a gruff voice.
「I’m afraid of the old school building.」
「Shall I hold your hand or something?」
「You don’t have to do those extra things, just go. It’s getting dark.」
「It’s already dark. Why don’t you walk next to me?」
「I would never walk with you. Let’s get out of the hallway as fast as we can.」
Miyagi, wrinkled in between, opens the door. Then she pushed me back.
I have no choice but to start walking.
A light footstep echoes, and another footstep is heard to follow. I looked back and saw Miyagi and felt better than I did during the festival.
