The Losing Heroine Dumped by Her Shady Childhood Friend Will Definitely Win as Long as I’m Around! - Chapter 21

The first time I entered a girl’s room, it smelled very sweet.

“P-pardon the intrusion. …”

“Fufu. You don’t have to be so formal.”

Chinatsu-chan was grinning. For a shy girl, she was bold.

I had a fair amount of girl friends, but I’ve never even visited them in their rooms. My sister was out of the question, so she didn’t count.

The room had a study desk and bookshelves. There was a TV and a low table. And there was a single bed where Chinatsu-chan always slept.

Looking at the furniture alone, it was not much different from my room.

And yet, it was strange that I could tell at a glance that it was a girl’s room. Chinatsu-chan’s cuteness was evident in many places.

“…..”

“What’s wrong, Masa-kun? Don’t just stand there, sit down.”

Although I entered her room, I was so nervous that I stood there.

Chinatsu-chan’s natural demeanor also threw me off. If she had been her usual self, she would have been blushing at the thought of a man being in her room.

“Do you want to play a game to pass the time?”

She asked as she pulled out a game console from beside the TV.

“Un. I mean, you play games, huh, Chinatsu-chan?”

“Well, I used to play with Kentaro a lot.”

Ah, that made sense.

Even though they were childhood friend, It was not the first time for her to let someone of the opposite s*x into her room. She probably even let him use her bathtub. She was used to it, so she acted nonchalantly like this.

…I am not Osako.

“Um, … Masa-kun, aren’t you close?’

“That’s not true. Look, the game is about to begin.”

The two of us held the game controller while leaning back on the bed.

We were sitting next to each other at a distance where our shoulders were touching. Or rather, we were attached to each other.

Chinatsu-chan’s cheeks turned crimson. I felt a bit proud of myself seeing this expression, which I had finally been able to witness since I came home.

“Masa-kun, …, you’re good.”

“Chinatsu-chan, you’re the one …, I haven’t been this excited in a long time.”

The sweet atmosphere that I had regained a little was gone when I was absorbed in the game.

An action game that had been a part of the series for a long time. It was enough to get me and Chinatsu-chan excited.

“Fufu. I win.”

“Damn it……”

Chinatsu-chan had a victorious look on her face. She looked cute, but… for once my frustration got the better of me.

“What do you say? Do you want to try again? I’m always up for a challenge.”

Will the winner allow it? Chinatsu looked at me grinning.

“…… of course. Next time I’ll win.”

While choosing my character, I made a suggestion.

“How about we play a punishment game next time?”

“Punishments? Like what?

“How about the loser does whatever the winner says?”

“That sounds fun. I’m up for it.”

Without even a hint of hesitation, Chinatsu-chan accepted the game.

She must have gained confidence from her earlier win. But there was almost no difference in ability. In other words, next time I’ll win!

The rematch began. As expected, a competitive match unfolded.

“Chinatsu-chan…”

“Hmm?”

“What kind of orders will you give me if you win?”

“Hmmm. I guess. …”

Chinatsu-chan was deep in thought. Perhaps absorbed in her thoughts, she became careless with the controls. I immediately attacked her with a skill.

“Hey!, that’s not fair.”

“You can’t stand to wait around during the game.”

Chinatsu-chan moaned in frustration. The sound of button mashing became stronger.

“If I win, I’ll make Masa-kun do something embarrassing.”

“I wonder what kind of embarrassing things you have in your head.”

“Heh, I’m not thinking anything strange.”

Chinatsu-chan made a mistake. I was not going to miss the opportunity.

“Masa-kun… you’ve been cheating since a while ago.”

“That was self-destruction on your part.”

“Urghh ……. If that’s the case, what kind of punishment do you have in mind, Masa-kun?”

“I’m going to ask you to kiss me.”

“Huh?”

The character controlled by Chinatsu-chan fell. At this moment, my victory was decided.

“Can you do the punishment game?”

I looked straight at her. Chinatsu-chan couldn’t meet my eyes and closed her mouth.

“……”

“……”

The only sounds in the room were the background music from the game and the rain outside. We were alone.

“I really like you, Chinatsu-chan. I will put my body on the line to protect Chinatsu-chan.”

I will not look away from her. Even if she looks away from me, I will never look away from her.

“But I don’t just want to protect you. I want to kiss you and …. Even beyond that, I want to do it someday. …”

Beyond the kiss. It seemed that she understood without having to put it into concrete words. Chinatsu-chan’s face turned red.

“That’s what I’m thinking, too. So don’t invite a man into your home without caution. Chinatsu-chan, you’re so cute, bad men will eat you up.”

“I-I didn’t mean that…”

“From now on, be more conscious of me. Otherwise, I’ll make you understand, even if you don’t like it.”

I put my own lips on Chinatsu-chan’s lips.

“Nnn~~…”

Although they were the same lips, they were completely different. They were soft, moist, and above all, delicious.

I rubbed our sensitive lips together as if to imprint my existence on her. I had learned that this alone created pleasure.

“…………”

I let go of her face. Chinatsu-chan’s eyes were filled with tears, as if she was about to cry.

My first kiss. My heart was racing and I didn’t even know what I looked like.

All I knew was that a feeling of happiness was spreading through my chest.

“From next time on, I’ll kiss you if I think you are inviting me, Chinatsu-chan. Be prepared when we are alone.”

“……”

Chinatsu-chan didn’t push me away or run out of the room to escape.

She froze for a while. Her blushing face was erotic. Her eyes were very moist, but she didn’t spill any tears.

“……”

Without saying a word, Chinatsu-chan buried her face in my chest.

She then raised her face and stared at me. In her eyes, I could see a sense of anticipation.

“Chinatsu-chan ……”

When I quietly called her name, she closed her eyes.

The gesture was clearly inviting me ….. I closed my eyes as well.

“..Nn~”

The opportunity for a second kiss soon came.

The sound of the rain, which had intensified, hit my ears. I will never forget this day.
