@ leEwẬy: Well it’s good to be back and I’m glad you enjoyed seeing Mayu suffer in the room with Yuki
Well let’s just say Rena gets in a bit of a slappy mood when she’s nervous and this entire update is about Jurina’s “awesome” plans so I hope you enjoy.
@Sherin: Here’s more! It’s not quite 10k though, only 7.6k and well Rena is the total opposite of Jurina I guess? ;^^
@cisda83: Ah well those pairs still feel like they’re miles away but I guess with this chapter things do get a bit of a start ;^^
@Terragen: You should have more patience
But don’t worry the girls do actually manage to get something done in this chapter.
@geki geki: Do you really think Mayu had the guts to kiss Yuki? And I’m not quite sure what you mean by all of that but yeah that was an awkward moment between Jurina and Rena ;^^
@POPCAT: Well there’s certainly more drama in this chapter and more slapping ;^^
@kurogumi: No problems, glad you found it amusing
@mo-chan: Of course Mayu was going to do nothing, otherwise the story would be way too short ;^^ Plus it’s more amusing when a plan fails
@rochilu: I’m glad you like Jurina in this fic and hopefully her plans for the trip will keep you entertained!
@Archer1992: Yeah I guess Jurina does care about Mayu in her own “special” way
A/N: Hey guys not a huge amount to say about this chapter other than it’s longer than what I usually write, I think it might be my longest update yet! Nevertheless I hope you all enjoy it!Chapter 6“Di-di-di-di-di-di-di…” Instinctively reacting to the annoying noise I slammed my hand on top of the alarm clock. Through a thin gap in the curtains, the sun’s light streamed onto my face. Throwing the covers over my head I let out a disgruntled groan.
“It’s still too early…” Burying my face into my pillow, I tried to block out the irritating sound ringing through my head. Eventually I poked my head back out and dragged my heavy body out of bed. Still recovering from the rude awakening, I wandered out of my room and into the bathroom. Once I entered the other room I began undoing the buttons of my top one by one. Leaving my clothes in an untidy heap on the floor, I stepped under the shower and turned it on. With the water flowing down on top of me I thought back to the evening in the karaoke box. Since that day I’d made absolutely no progress with Yuki. In fact as a result of that day the distance between us grew further than before. Every time we asked the pair to join us on a “date” they would just refuse. I’d honestly hoped for the two of them to look past the slap but at the same time I perfectly understood why Rena-san was desperate to avoid Jurina. Fortunately for me Jurina had already guaranteed me a second chance with Yuki and today was the day of the promised trip.
“Ha~” Despite the cold shower my eyes were still only half open and my movements just as sluggish as they were earlier. After I was done drying myself, I put on my uniform and strolled back into my room and began scrolling through the list that Jurina had sent me.
“Cute pajamas, lucky underwear…” Choosing to ignore most of the things Jurina mentioned I quickly filled my bag up. Yet seeing the ridiculous list caused an unnerving knot to form in my stomach. “Just what has she got planned for this trip?” Hoisting the large bag over my shoulder I made my way down the stairs and grabbed a piece of bread from the empty kitchen.
“Everyone must still be asleep…” Quietly mumbling to myself I slipped on my shoes and left out the front door.
“Ah Mayuyu!” Just as I shut the gate behind me, an excited Jurina came rushing down the road. Wrapping her arm around me Jurina began to escort me toward the school. “Did you bring everything on the list?” A beaming smile stretched across her face.
“Huh, are you talking about that stupid thing you sent me? Why the heck would I bring any of that?” Despite my ridiculing words a pink flush was rapidly spreading across my face. Jurina noticed my blushes and tightened her grip on my shoulder.
“Mayu~ You know it’s not good to lie.” The irritatingly bright grin on her face grew even larger. “I always thought my girlfriend was the type to wear cute cuddly things when she sleeps.”
“What me? No way!” Trying to divert any sort of attention away from me I directed a limp wave to Jurina. However the other girl just ignored my casual attitude and reached into her pocket.
“Mayu seriously, why do you think I took the time to visit your room?” Chuckling away to herself Jurina wagged her phone in front of me. “You only own pink pajamas so unless you’re borrowing your grandma’s night dress you have no option but to bring one of your cute ones.” Watching Jurina scroll through her various pictures my lips started nervously quivering.
“Although she’ll see you naked in the public bath so I guess what you wear doesn’t really matter too much.” Teasing me with a little wink, Jurina let go of me and went on ahead down the road.
“Wait did you just say public bath!” A brief image of Yuki standing in a mist of steam flashed through my head. “W-what the heck have you got planned for the trip?” As I chased after Jurina all I could hear was her hysterical laugh.
“You’ll be able to find out yourself!” Rounding the corner into the school, I spotted a huge crowd of people standing between the two coaches parked in front of the building. Several glares were shot across towards me as I slowed down to a stroll. Avoiding the leers from Jurina’s fan girls, I wandered around the crowd and placed my bag on the pile at the back of the coach.
But just as I went to walk back round Jurina took a hold of my arm and whispered into my ears. “When we go back round there just forget about all the jealous looks people give you. In fact should we make it even worse?” Taking a hold of my hand Jurina dragged me back around into the group of staring girls. Within the crowd of bodies I noticed Yuki standing with Rena; the two of them trying to keep as low a profile as possible, which was pretty much impossible considering just how popular Yuki is.
Suddenly my teacher emerged from one of the coaches and began yelling instructions at all of us. “Right then, now that everyone is here we’ll begin getting on the coaches but before you all run off.” Everyone’s mad rush for seats immediately stopped and they all turned to see what else the teacher had to say. “To avoid any sort of confusion you’ll be sitting in this designated seating plan.”
A collective groan echoed throughout the group while the teacher nervously dithered over the sheet of paper in his hands. Then for a split second I could’ve sworn that he glanced in my general direction.
“Jurina is this…” The girl beside me had a beaming grin across her face as she looked at me.
“Don’t worry Mayu-chan it gets even better.” Hearing Jurina’s excited little squeal caused a nervous feeling to spread through my body. Turning my attention back to the bumbling teacher I listened to the various names being called out.
“Right then coach number two. Watanabe and Kashiwagi where are you?” My heart leapt into my mouth at the sudden mention of my name. Slowly inching forwards I took several deep breaths to desperately try and compose myself.
“Enjoy my first present Mayu.” Jurina’s mocking whisper was followed by a hefty nudge, sending me tumbling all the way to the front of the crowd, right next to Yuki. Regaining my balance I sent a hesitant smile to Yuki.
“You two are sitting right at the back.” The teacher ushered us up the steps into the coach. With my gaze firmly set on my fidgeting fingers, I silently followed Yuki up to the back of the coach.
“So do you want the window seat?” I was so shocked by Yuki’s sudden question that my reply became a muddled bundle of noise.
“Er… Um… No you go ahead and take it…” Eventually I managed to give Yuki a proper answer but by this time she was already ssexy beasting away to herself.
“Sure, thanks.” Taking her seat beside the window Yuki pulled the curtains back and stared out at the school. I anxiously sat next to Yuki and watched the rest of the class fill up the other seats. It was only until a few empty seats remained when I realized that Jurina was yet to enter the coach.
“Hmm Rena isn’t in yet.” Noticing Yuki mumble that name caused an angry twitch to flicker through my mind, and then I worked out the second part to Jurina’s plan. Right on cue, Jurina stepped down the aisle with a timid Rena following her. Stepping out of the way Jurina let Rena sit on the window side, trapping the silent girl for the journey.
“Right now that we’ve all boarded let’s head off!” The teacher sat in his seat and the vehicle set off out of the grounds.
We were over halfway into our journey and I still hadn’t said anything to the girl next to me. My body was still struggling to come to terms with the idea of spending such a long time with Yuki and to be honest I had absolutely no idea of what to talk about. Despite the fact that we are ‘friends’ with each other through Jurina the terrifying truth was that I knew very little about Yuki. Simple things like her favorite songs or what she does as a hobby, I genuinely had no clue about. Slowly giving up on thinking of something I shut my eyes and leant back in the chair, deciding to just sleep for the rest of the journey.
Suddenly my phone began to vibrate in my pocket causing me to almost leap out of my seat. Almost dropping the ringing phone I checked on the message that was just sent to me. “Why the heck haven’t you spoken to Yuki yet? If you’re really struggling for ideas then talk to her about ‘Morning Musume’ or something. Just make sure you say something to her before we arrive!”
“Dammit why didn’t you tell me this earlier?” Grumbling away to myself I shoved the phone back into my pocket and noticed that Yuki had taken her attention away from the view outside to glance at me.
“What was that about?” Quietly whispering to me with a puzzled voice, Yuki gave me a strange look.
“Huh, you mean the message? Well er that was erm…” Thinking back to Jurina’s message I tried to think up of some sort of excuse to continue the conversation. “It was my mum! She was just telling me that I’d forgotten my Morning Musume CDs…”
Suddenly Yuki’s entire face lit up, as if a switch had been flicked on her head somewhere. “Eh! Watanabe-san are you fan too! But wait what am I saying of course you are, if you buy the CDs then you must be a fan!”
“Ah well yeah I guess so…” Amazed that Yuki actually believed my lame excuse I had to take some time to think up the few things that I actually knew about the group. “You know that song Love Machine was really awesome right?”
Upon hearing my words Yuki’s eyes grew increasingly wider, her trembling hands floating just in front of her mouth. Worried that she had seen through my pathetic lies I began to shy away from Yuki, only to have a grab my hands and drag me back.
“I know exactly what you mean!” The grip around my hands grew tighter as Yuki gazed at me with her sparkling eyes. “But personally I would say…” And so it began.
For the rest of the journey I had to endure Yuki’s non-stop lecture on her beloved idols. The names of every member and song burnt into my mind through this bizarre form of torture. But at least the plan to speak to Yuki had worked, well sort of…
・・・
After the four hour trip we finally arrived at Nara. The moment the coach came to a halt everyone stood up, desperate to get out of the stuffy vehicle.
“All of you stop!” The sweating teacher was at the front of the coach blocking the aisle. Not really paying much attention to him the students flooded past him toward the exit. “Make sure to be back here by four o’clock so that we can get to where we are staying before five!” Within a matter of moments the coach was virtually empty, just me and Yuki at the back slowly walking out in silence again. Stepping out into the bright sunshine I embraced the soothing wind and wandered into the park.
“Well I should probably find Rena now.” Yuki was busy surveying the area to find her girlfriend but she was nowhere to be seen.
“Ah wait why don’t I come with you!” Refusing to let her go I briefly grasped onto her arm, only to blush and let go again. “You know maybe Jurina will be with her as well since they were sitting together on the way here...” My voice trailed away as Yuki’s face grew increasingly surprised.
“Wait did you say they were together with each other all this time? We have to find them now!” A strangely excited squeak came from Yuki as we briskly walked through the park. Looking around the place we couldn’t find a single sign of the two girls. Instead all we saw were a countless number of deer, milling around between the trees and feeding on the grass.
“Kyyaaa!” Suddenly a frantic scream came from the hedges and pierced through the air. Seeming to recognize the voice Yuki immediately rushed off around the hedges.
“Ah, wait up!” Scrambling after Yuki, I almost fell flat on my face but I managed to recover just in time to get round the corner. What I saw behind the bushes was a yelping Rena, her skirt being tugged at by an over enthusiastic deer.
“Rena-chan you have to calm down!” Right next to Rena, Jurina was desperately trying to free Rena from the clench of the wrestling beast. “I can’t get it to let go…”With her teeth gritting against each other Jurina grabbed the deer’s nose and yanked at it again. This time she managed to separate the pair but the force of the pull caused her to topple over and kick her legs out.
“W-white…” Jurina’s flailing legs had flicked up Rena’s skirt revealing… Well Jurina’s scarlet face kind of said it all.
“P-P-PERVERT!” Mortified by what just happened Rena thwacked Jurina in the face and rushed off down the path.
“R-Rena-chan!” Yuki chased after her girlfriend and left me to stand there with the shocked Jurina.
“D-did she just…” With her mouth slightly agape, the stunned girl just sat on the ground and placed a shivering finger over the handprint on her cheek
“Way to go there Jurina. This must be quite the experience for you.” Struggling to keep my laugh to myself, I offered a helping hand to Jurina only to have it ignored by the astonished Jurina.
“That girl just slapped me again!” I could swear that there were small tears welling up in the girl’s eyes as she slammed the ground around her. “What did I do to deserve that?”
“I hate to be the one to break it to you but you did just lift up her skirt…”
“But it was an accident!” Jurina leapt up into the air and grabbed my shoulders in protest.
“Right well go say that to the poor girl.” I removed the hands from my shoulder and turned away from Jurina’s immature raspberry.
“Nah, things between you and Yuki are way more important.” All of a sudden Jurina switched back to her usual nonchalant self. “By the way did you actually speak to Yuki?”
“Kind of…” I began hesitantly twiddling my fingers around each other. “It was more like a one way conversation.”
“Yeah Yuki’s like that when you mention ‘that’ word to her.” Putting her arms behind her head, Jurina took several exaggerated steps away from me.
“Then why did you tell me to mention that to her?” Feeling a little irritated by being led in the way that I was, I shot an annoyed look at Jurina.
“So you would have preferred to just sit there in silence?” Before I could reply Jurina continued on. “Plus I have plenty more opportunities lined up for you. Although the next event I have planned is a bonus present to help motivate you.”
“Is there any chance of…”
“Ah we better head back to the coach now.” Jurina cut off my murmurings and began strolling back down the park. “Oh and no it’s going to be a surprise for when we get to our next destination.” With a wink and skip Jurina went disappearing off into the distance.
・・・
Getting back to coach within the designated time I noticed how the seat beside was still empty. However the moment I returned to the back the vacancy at the front began to make sense. Sat in my seat was Matsui-san, her head seemingly sobbing into Yuki’s shoulder. Deciding to sit in the next seat along, I leant over to Yuki and whispered as quietly as possible.
“Erm… Is Matsui-san…”
Yuki placed a finger in front of her mouth and just like that we were left to sit in silence for the entire journey. Luckily it was only a short ten minute drive out from the city until we arrived at our next destination. The moment the coach came to a halt I wasted no time in rushing away from the silent pair and exiting the vehicle.
“Eh is this where we are staying?” In front of me was a rather old looking wooden inn. But after I took a second look at the building I realized that it was a reasonably sized place to stay in.
“Oi Watanabe hurry up move out the way! You’re blocking the exit!” Hearing the rowdy shouts from behind me I leapt out of the way. Then as if the floodgates had opened a rush bodies all swarmed to the back of the coach, grabbed their bags and entered the inn. Amazed by the speed at which everything just happened I had to be escorted by Jurina to the back in order to pick up our bags. Carefully following us was the cautious couple of Yuki and Rena, Rena in particular taking extra care to stay away from Jurina as we entered the inn. However right as we stepped in I could see a wicked grin briefly flash across Jurina’s face.
“Ah you four that’s perfect.” Looking up from the sheet of paper in front of him the teacher was pointing down the corridor to his right. “You’re all going to be in room number three. It’s just past the entrance to public baths.”
I couldn’t believe it. I was going to be sharing a room with Yuki for the night. The thought of sleeping in the same room as Yuki caused my mind to start whirling around with excitement. But there was another reason for my sudden joy. It was the reminder that soon I would be able to witness Yuki’s amazing body in the public bath.
Then I was woken from my fantasies by a small nudge from Yuki. “Erm Watanabe-san we better get to our room.” I noticed that my other two roommates were already heading down the corridor.
“Ah sure...” Nervously bowing my head in agreement we set off toward the room, the thought of being together in our room creeping back into my brain. Upon entering the room I slipped my shoes off and spotted four futons spread across the tatami floor. Jurina and Rena had already placed their belongings at the opposite sides of the room, leaving only the two futons in the middle.
“Mayuyu here’s your space.” Jurina was tapping on the pillow to beside her, directing a subtle wink to me as I placed my bag between Jurina’s and Yuki’s...
“Wait does this mean…” In reply to my silent whisper Jurina just smiled and raised her eyebrows suggestively.
“I hope you’re not a restless sleeper Watanabe-san.” Yuki was blushing very slightly as she unpacked a few of her things.
“Ah well that might be problem since Mayu’s actually a bit of a sleepwalker sometimes. One time, when we had a sleepover round mine, she ended up sleeping on top of me.” I was just as shocked as the other two girls at Jurina’s sudden comment. Everything she just said was a complete lie. I wasn’t sure if did actually sleepwalk or not but I was absolutely certain that I never went round to Jurina’s apartment for a sleepover. Despite wanting to deny this story, a determined stare from Jurina was urging me to just go along with it.
“Well I guess it can’t be helped then…” Yuki’s head went deeper into her bag as she continued to sift through it.
Suddenly there was a loud knock at the door. “Girls I just thought I’d tell you that you all have an hour and a half of free time before dinner.” Finishing off his message, the teacher moved onto the next room and left us to sit there in silence.
“I know let’s all go in the baths together!”
“I refuse.” Rena immediately rejected Jurina’s idea and folded her arms together. “Not after what happened earlier…”
“I swear it was an accident!” Jurina’s whining protest was halted by Yuki.
“Look why don’t you two go ahead and we might join you in a bit.” Yuki put a protective arm around Rena and gave us a gentle smile. “Rena just needs a bit of time to calm down some more.”
“Sure we’ll see you in a bit then. Come on Mayu.” Just as Jurina dragged me away I managed to grab a change of clothes. We left the room and took a few steps down the corridor before turning left into the baths. Crouching under the red cloth hanging across the entrance to the changing rooms I noticed that there was no one else in the baths.
“I thought you were going to go in as well?” Placing my uniform in the basket I took a surprised glance at Jurina as she just leant back against the wall.
“Don’t worry Mayuyu there’s no way I’ll miss out on this.” Tossing her spare clothes in a basket, Jurina started heading back toward the exit. “Let me just go speak to the teachers to make sure we don’t get interrupted.”
“Wait, how the heck are you getting the teachers to do these things for you?” Turning back around, Jurina gave me an innocent look and tried to pretend the she didn’t understand what I was talking about. “I’m being serious Jurina; you need to tell about this.” As I placing my hands on my hips I gave Jurina a severe look.
“Fine I will, especially since I get to stare at Mayu-chan in her cute underwear while I explain.” Before Jurina had finished her sentence my hand was frantically reaching for the towel beside me, casting it over my shoulders and across the front of my body.
“Too late~” chimed Jurina with her phone hovering in front of her. “Aww my girlfriend’s face is as pink as her bra.”
“Look just answer my question!” Embarrassed by what just happened I yelled at Jurina at the top of my voice causing her to ssexy beast with her response.
“But I thought someone like you would be smart enough to work it out.” The initially angry look on my face quickly became a slightly more understanding one as I watched Jurina tap the side of her phone. “I have at least one ‘persuasive’ photo of every single person in the school.”
“You mean you’re blackmail—” My voice was muffled by Jurina’s hand forcing itself over my mouth.
“Mayuyu~ You don’t have to make it sound like that. I’m doing this to help you.” With an intimidating smile forming across her face Jurina leant in closer to me and whispered. “Plus have you already forgotten about the picture I just took?” The soft brush of Jurina’s breath left me bumbling around in a flustered state.
“Just go in and wait for the show to begin.” Jurina waved her hand at me and drifted out of the room.
After removing the rest of my clothes I wrapped a towel around my exposed body and slid open the door leading to the steam filled room. Flinching from the initial heat of the boiling water on the tip of my toe, I took my time to gradually slip into the large bath and wade across to the other end. Once I reached the other side I slumped my back against the wall and submerged my shoulders beneath the surface. For the first time in the day I could actually relax and let my mind just float away in with its dreams.
However my rest was rather short lived. The sound of the door reopening was followed by the pattering of feet across the tiled floor. A small bead of drool was slowly rolling down my chin as Yuki gradually emerged from the curtain of steam. Staring at her towel covered chest I thought back to the time back at the karaoke box.
“Damn it why didn’t I get a feel when I had the chance!” Cursing under my breath I slammed my palm against the surface of the water causing it to spray up in front of me.
“Kya!” I was so caught up with Yuki that I failed to notice Rena had already entered the bath. “Watanabe-san did you just splash water at me?”
“Sorry I didn’t mean—” Rena had already taken matters into her own hands and began pushing waves of water at my face.
“Guys stop it!” Listening to Yuki’s plea Rena and I stopped our childish water fight and looked at each other. Without saying anything we both seemed to have the same idea float into our heads and a wicked grin spread across our faces.
“What are you two… Kya!” Rena and I surrounded Yuki and began splashing water over the screaming girl. Yuki tried to escape further into the bath but to no avail. We just followed her route and continued to laugh as we splashed water all over her face.
“You two are being so immature!” Eventually Yuki just gave up on running away; instead she chose to flail her arms around in retaliation. The three of us just continued to childishly throw water over each other.
“Ahh! You guys started without me!” Peering up through all the splashing water I could see a shocked Jurina appear at the entrance of the bath. She then started to sprint through the steam towards us. Realizing what Jurina was about to do, we all stopped fighting amongst each other and frantically ran away from the charging girl.
“Woohoo!” Jurina leapt off the edge of the pool and flew through the air with her body curled up in a ball. Landing with a tremendous splosh Jurina sent a huge crashing wave across the surface.
“Pfft!” Still staggering around from the force of the wave, I sprayed the water out from my mouth and yelled at Jurina. “Are you trying to kill us you hyperactive buffoon!”
“Huh what are you talking about? I was just joining in with the fun.” Jurina leant back in the water and began kicking in my direction, creating a white spray to spurt up between me and her.
“That was overkill!” Fighting my way through the wall of water
“You can’t catch me Mayu-chan!” Slipping away from my grasp Jurina turned onto her front only to slam straight into a soft wall.
“Ah crap…” I took a huge gulp of air as Jurina’s face lifted up to see the scarlet face of Rena looking down towards her. Jurina then quickly glanced down at her hands and noticed that they were resting on top of the towel wrapped around Rena’s breasts.
“Ehehe…” With a nervous grin appearing across her face, Jurina lifted her hands up and inched away from the trembling Rena.
“You sick lecherous…” Rena’s arm slowly rose above her head while she grit her teeth together in anger.
“Rena don’t!” Yuki tried to reach out and grab Rena’s arm but she was too late.
“PERVERT!” I was amazed at just how much stronger Rena’s slap was compared to earlier in the day. Jurina’s limp body went skidding off the surface several times before landing with a loud splash. Rena stumbled past the floating body and clambered out of the water, letting out a soft sob with every step she took.
“Why did you have to do that Rena!” For the second time today Yuki went frantically chasing after her crying girlfriend and I was left with my idiot ‘girlfriend’. I waded across to Jurina and timidly poked a couple of times at her motionless body.
“Pwaah!” Jerking her head out from the water, Jurina tossed her hair around before giving me stupid grin. “You’ll never guess what Mayu. Rena-chan’s breasts they’re really really squishy!”
“And her slaps are really really strong as well!” I mocked Jurina’s enthusiastic tone and stepped out of the bath.
“Look I’m sorry for screwing things up for you but maybe if you had some guts to talk to Yuki we wouldn’t have to go through all this trouble!” Jurina followed me out of the water and loudly yelled at me.
“Yeah well if you didn’t keep ruining your own plans then we wouldn’t have to keep up with this act!” After I was done shouting back at her I spun away and stood beneath the shower.
Suddenly a pair of arms wrapped themselves around my waist and a gentle whisper floated into my ear. “What if I don’t want this to be an act?”
As the soft words echoed through my mind Jurina placed her chin on my shoulder and leant her head against mine. “Maybe I’m deliberately messing up so that you never end up with Yuki.”
“W-what are you talking about?” Freeing myself from Jurina’s embrace I took several steps away from her. My arms’ unconsciously guarding my chest as my back was pressed up against the wall. “You promised to help me with Yuki!”
“I know Mayu but that was back then.” Taking one slow step at a time Jurina closed the gap between us, her black eyes longingly staring into my pair of quivering pupils. “Now that I’ve actually seen you like this I don’t want to give you up. I want you all just for myself.” Caressing my delicate cheek with her hands Jurina’s face was gradually leaning towards mine. Huge gulps of air rolling down my throat while the pace of my heart beats grew faster and faster.
“I can’t… I shouldn’t… I…” Despite the screaming protest in my brain, I found myself shutting my eyes and stretching up on my tip toes. My heart was near breaking point as I waited for some sort of velvet touch to meet my lips…
But instead of the kiss that I thought was coming all I could feel were a couple of prods at both my breasts.
“Nope, Rena-chan’s definitely got the more impressive chest.” Opening my eyes in shock I looked down at Jurina carefully probe and inspect the small part of my exposed chest. Feeling extremely embarrassed by what Jurina was doing to me I instinctively reacted and unleashed a vicious swing at her head.
“Woah!” Just ducking in time to avoid my fist Jurina stumbled away from me and almost toppled into the bath. “What’s with that reaction?”
“Why do you think!” Puffing out my cheeks in anger I stomped back into the changing rooms and began to hastily put my clothes back on. I still couldn’t believe just how scary Jurina could be sometimes. The way in which she just plays around with people’s feelings like that…
“Hey Mayu I’m sorry about what I just did...” The door slid open to reveal a sheepish Jurina. “But you know that was all just a joke right? Including the part about your boobs, well actually Rena’s were a little more…”
“I don’t want to know.” I cut off Jurina before she went into any further detail but seeing the more childish side of the girl caused the corners my mouth to form a tiny smile.
“Eh why not?” For a second I thought Jurina was going to grope my breasts again as she walked towards me. Luckily she went past me and began sifting through the basket with her clothes in. Without any hesitation Jurina loosened the towel around her and let it drop down to the ground. Astonished by the sight in front of me all the blood in my body all rushed up to my flaring face. Turning away from Jurina’s bare back I placed my soaked towel in the basket then nervously gazed down at the ground.
“So I guess tonight’s going to be your big chance then.” Not daring to turn around I continued to fidget with my fingers as Jurina kept on talking. “I mean everyone will be asleep so if the plan doesn’t work then it’ll all be your fault.”
“And what was the plan again?” Just as I finished with my question Jurina placed a hand on my shoulder.
“Simple. You just get into bed with her.”
“Oh ok…” My heart skipped a beat as the thought of sleeping with Yuki floated into my head. Then my thoughts were distracted by a loud gurgle from my stomach. Noticing the sound Jurina let out a small giggle and grabbed a hold of my hand.
“Come on let’s go get some food now.” As she threw away the white towel into one of the open baskets Jurina dragged me out of the room. We turned left out of the changing rooms and walked back past the entrance hall and entered the dining hall.
“Eh where is everyone?” My eyes shot around the room only to find that there wasn’t a single person in sight.
“Wow I didn’t realize we spent that long in the baths…” Quietly mumbling in shock Jurina reached into the pocket of her baggy joggers and pulled out her phone. “Look it’s already half past seven.” Showing me the screen Jurina pointed to the top right corner, but instead of looking at the time my eyes were focused on the picture that filled the rest of the screen.
“Are you seriously using that picture as your wallpaper?” Letting out a sigh I decided to go ahead and take a seat in the nearest chair.
“What’s wrong with it? I think you look really cute when you’re asleep.” The smiling Jurina turned the phone back to herself so that she could have another look at the photo of me asleep at my desk. “Anyway I’ll go ask for something to eat.” And with a quick salute Jurina wandered away beneath the blue curtains.
“Cute huh?” Silently mumbling to myself I dropped my head on to the wooden table with a slight thud. All the excitement and panic from the day was catching up with me and making my body feel rather heavy. “Simple. You just get into bed with her.” Jurina’s voice was echoing through my head again, sending thoughts of doubt and worry creep into my mind.
“How can doing such a thing be simple!” Screaming in frustration I began tearing at my hair, not realizing that someone else had joined me in the room.
“Erm Watanabe-san is everything ok?” Turning my head on the table I got a huge fright when I saw Yuki’s concerned face looking down at me.
“Huh what? Yeah uh… I was just er… thinking about the next assignment.” After my mind replayed what I just said I desperately wanted to face palm myself. Just how stupid am I being? But then to my surprise Yuki actually had a vaguely impressed look on her face.
“Hee~ So you’re already thinking about the next assignment?” Yuki sat down on the chair opposite me and rested her head on her hands. “No wonder Watanabe-san is smart.”
“Haha yeah I guess so…” With a nervous grin I tried to rack through my brain to find something else to talk about but just like on the bus I couldn’t think of anything; so I sat there in an awkward silence while trying to avoid any sort of eye contact.
After a while Yuki let out a tired sigh and stretched her arms across the table and let her head drop to the table. “Ha… I wish I could be as smart as you Watanabe-san.” Folding her arms back together Yuki placed her chin on top of them. “I mean it must be really nice to be able to just ace every single test you take…”
“Trust me it’s anything but exciting.” I gave her a small grimace and then swung my head back in the chair. “You just waste so much time studying instead of having fun like any normal teenager.”
“Well you’re not exactly missing out on much.” Yuki let out an ironic laugh while tapping her fingers on the table. “Having to keep turning down boys that come up to you and confessing their love to you can get pretty tiring.”
“Wow seriously!” I slammed my hands onto the table and began to uncontrollably laugh. “Your biggest problem is rejecting boys? Every single girl would dream to have your problem!”
“Well maybe it’s not the biggest problem in the world but honestly after about the hundredth time it gets really tiring and repetitive.” Clearly realizing how pathetic her complaints were Yuki stopped tapping on the table and looked away into the distance.
“Woah if you put it like that then how can I not feel sorry for you.” Hearing the obvious sarcasm in my voice Yuki’s body shot up in her chair and revealed a pair of shocked eyes.
“Mou~ Watanabe-san has absolutely no idea about what I’m talking about.” Yuki swung an arm and slapped the table before getting up from her chair.
“You’re right there’s no way someone like me can understand Kashiwagi-san’s problems.” Stretching my arms up into the air I brought them back down and placed them behind my grinning face. Noticing Yuki’s lips form a cute little pout I could feel my heart stop for a couple of seconds before I could speak again. “So er why did you come back here in the first place?” For a moment Yuki was just frozen on the spot and didn’t move an inch.
“Er… I think I came back here to look for my jumper but I guess it’s not here…” Yuki hastily glanced around the room before turning her attention back to me. “Well I guess I should probably go look for it somewhere else. I’ll see you in a bit then Watanabe-san.”
“Right, see you soon Kashiwagi-san.” I lifted a hand to wave goodbye to the girl when she quickly turned to face me again.
“Please call me Yuki. I mean we’re kind of friends right?” With a slightly hesitant look on her face Yuki gave me a quick bow and the briskly walked back out of the room
“Oh ok well then good night Y-Yuki…” Slowly waving at the back of the girl as she walked away from me I felt a strange lump form in my neck. The idea of that I’ll be able to call Yuki by her first name caused a few butterflies to float in my stomach.
“Hey Mayuyu here’s the… What’s with that dumb grin on your face?” Carrying look of puzzlement, as well as a tray of food with her, Jurina strode across toward my table.
“Progress… I think?” Not really paying much attention to my words Jurina placed the tray down and then handed a bowl of rice to me.
“Right ok… Well I’m absolutely starving!” Dropping herself into the chair that Yuki was just sitting on Jurina gave me a plate of fish and a bowl of soup before placing her hands together.
“Itadakimasu!” After Jurina was done yelling at the top of her voice she lifted up her chopsticks and proceeded to wolf down her bowl of rice at a crazy speed.
“Itadakimasu.” Quietly whispering the words I bowed my head in appreciation and took a sip from my bowl of soup. With the two of us focused on our meals we spent the entire time just sat there in silence until Jurina finished her third helping of rice.
“I’m stuffed.” Slamming her bowl down on the table, Jurina proceeded to give her belly a couple of friendly taps before letting out a huge puff. “Well I’m going to go ahead and go back to the room. I’ll trust you with the dishes Mayu-chan.” Before I could say anything in protest Jurina gave me a quick wink and then rushed out of the door.
“Well I guess it can’t be helped then.” Standing up to reach across the table, I placed all the various plates and bowls onto the tray in the centre before lifting it up and carrying it with through to the kitchen.
“Thank you very much for the meal.” After I placed the tray on the counter I politely bowed my head to the chef then walked back out under the blue curtain. Not wanting to waste any more time in the dining room I rushed past all the tables and entrance to the baths before returning back to my room.
Upon entering the room I was shocked to find it was in complete darkness. But despite the lack of light I immediately noticed that the two girls at either ends of the room were already asleep on the floor. Although the manner in which they were sleeping couldn’t have been more different. At one end Rena was peacefully tucked beneath her duvet and slept facing the wall beside her. On the other hand Jurina was sleeping with only half of the duvet over her and one over her sprawling limbs. In between the two of them Yuki just lay there with her eyes shut.
“Simple. You just get into bed with her.”
Repeating Jurina’s words over and over again in my head I silently sat down next to Yuki; a huge wave of nervous sweat began pouring out as I gazed down at her peaceful face. Knowing that the longer I spent staring at Yuki’s partially parted lips the more nervous I would get, I chose to tightly shut my eyes and controlled my breathing.
“Come on Mayu this is your chance!” Slowly but surely my body inched closer toward Yuki until my hand brushed against the tip of the duvet. Consuming a huge gulp of air I grabbed the corner and then carefully lifted it up so that I could slide under and join Yuki. By the time half my body was under the sheets my brain was going into melt down and my heart threatening to burst out from my chest. No longer able to cope with the tension in my body I took a small hop to shuffle the rest of my body onto the futon.
“Hngh…” Despite the fact that I bumped into her body because of the hop Yuki only made a quiet moan as she turned her head to face upwards. Gradually lowering myself down I placed my head beside Yuki’s and just stared at the ceiling. After taking some time to let the moment sink in I finally urged my body to turn and nuzzled up to Yuki. As the familiar scent from Yuki’s hair invaded my mind again I placed a hand on one of Yuki’s soft breasts, the line between dream and reality becoming as blurry as ever. Eventually I ran out of energy and my mind drifted away into the darkness leaving me to sleep on the shoulder of the girl I love…
・・・
Hearing the cheerful chirping of birds I slowly opened my eyes and smiled at the beautiful sight in front of me.
“That’s right I just spent an entire night with Yuki…” Despite the fact that I was staring straight at Yuki’s face my mind was still trying to convince me that last night was a figment of my imagination.
“I should probably get out before she catches me…” I silently lifted up the sheets then delicately slid my body out from the duvet and onto the floor. After I managed to safely escape without disturbing Yuki I decided to just go ahead and get up instead of trying to go to sleep by myself. But as I was picking myself up from the ground I noticed a strange alteration to the room. The futon that was furthest away from me no longer had anyone in it.
“I wonder where Rena-san is...” While I was in the middle of mumbling to myself I turned around and found the answer to my own question.
“Ehhh!” Shocked by what I saw I took several steps backwards and tumbled over Yuki’s body, causing me to come crashing down onto the floor.
“Ungh my stomach.” Having felt the force of my foot Yuki let out a groan as she opened her dazed eyes to look at me. I was just sat there with a trembling finger pointing towards Jurina’s end of the room. Still moving sluggishly Yuki turned her to see what I was pointing at.
“Ehhh!” Yuki and I now had the exact same expression on our faces, only her eyes and mouth were continuing to grow wider and wider.
“What’s all this commotion about…” Angry that she had just been woken up by a couple of loud screams Jurina tried to sit up only to find a weight on a chest was preventing her to do so.
“What the heck is… Ehhhh!” Jurina’s voice turned into a frantic shout as she saw exactly who was preventing her from getting up. Amidst all the screaming and shouting Rena just lay there on top of Jurina with a graceful smile spread across her face.
