Saliva streamed down from the constantly opening and closing corners of their mouths, like two slender silver threads, hanging down onto the soft tatami, pooling together to form a small wet stain.
"Hmm…?!"
This kiss was so sudden that Renji was completely unprepared. He instinctively wanted to push Himeno away with force.
"Mm… mm…~"
Himeno held Renji's chin with one hand and his head with the other, pressing him tightly, making it impossible for him to break free.
Renji's cheeks occasionally bulged outwards, because Himeno's nimble tongue was wildly stirring and exploring inside his mouth.
—Pffft!!!—
A notification chimed in Renji's mind.
A large amount of fluid shot out, soaking a large area of Himeno's underwear.
This passionate kiss lasted for a very long time—so long that Renji felt he was almost suffocating. Himeno finally released him abruptly.
"Hoo… hoo…"
They looked at each other, panting heavily, their chests heaving violently. A thick, ambiguous and hot atmosphere filled the air.
"So… sorry… the drunkenness got to me… I couldn't… I couldn't hold back… hehe…~" Himeno laughed awkwardly.
Renji looked at her. Himeno's actions had stirred him, and his body was responding.
"I… I still have to go explain the Reze matter to Aki later. I'll be back soon. How about… how about you wait for me for a bit? Will it be okay later?"
Himeno shook her head. "I'll… help you… help you and Aki clear up the misunderstanding."
"How will you help?"
"So-called… so-called verbal promises can't compare to concrete actions. So, let me help you. This way, you come with me first, and I'll explain the specifics later."
Himeno pulled Renji's hand, staggering towards the corner of the living room. Because of her recent release, Himeno's body swayed, and her legs felt weak.
As she started, her body lurched forward, almost falling onto the tatami, but Renji caught her.
—Pffft!!!—
Renji heard another muffled sound, slightly different from Himeno's usual reaction. And the internal system didn't play the notification sound of Himeno reaching her peak at this moment.
So… where did that muffled sound come from?
And Renji suddenly noticed that Himeno's condition was a bit off…
They had already done it once in the basement, and judging from Reze's situation, a second time shouldn't have such an exaggerated reaction. At the very least, she shouldn't be so weak in the legs that she couldn't walk after just one kiss, almost falling to the ground.
"C-come with… me…"
Himeno spoke faintly, her voice weak and tinged with meaning, as she pulled Renji to a corner of the living room.
In the corner stood a huge, life-sized mirror. Himeno, with trembling hands, pointed to the mirror, signaling Renji to retrieve something hidden behind it.
Renji released Himeno, who then squatted on the ground, hugging her knees.
Renji approached the mirror and looked at its back. There was a rather large rectangular box, which Renji pulled out.
Opening the box, Renji saw a row of identical, progressively sized oval objects, somewhat conical and silver, appearing to be made of metal.
At first, Renji didn't recognize what these things were, but after a moment of stunned silence, he fully understood.
These… these were specialized plugs. A complete set designed for training, to be used progressively from smallest to largest.
The silver metallic luster was particularly dazzling under the light. Renji also noticed that the leftmost compartment in the box, meant for the largest plug, was empty.
Where did that plug go?
Renji thought of something and looked back at Himeno, who was secretly watching him.
"Himeno, you… all these things are…"
Himeno shyly scratched her cheek and stammered an explanation. "These… I bought them online several days ago… I thought of it while recuperating at home… What I thought at the time was…"
"Himeno. Turn around."
Renji suddenly interrupted her, his tone instantly changing, leaving no room for discussion. He spoke with an undeniable authority, as if he had become a different person.
Two notifications chimed in his mind.
Himeno was startled by the sudden change in tone and words, and she froze for a moment.
"Ren… Renji?" Himeno looked at him with a blank expression, completely unprepared for such a sudden request. The abrupt change in his tone also caused a flurry of panic in Himeno's heart.
"Turn around," Renji commanded again.
"But… but…" Himeno didn't understand. She instinctively looked around in a fluster.
"Be obedient. Turn around."
After a moment of hesitation, Himeno gently nodded. "Mm…"
Himeno gritted her teeth, forcing herself to stand up, though the action seemed a bit difficult. Once upright, Himeno slowly turned around, her back to Renji.
For some reason, an indescribable emotion arose in Himeno's heart. Her heart was pounding like a drum, and she didn't know what awaited her next.
Moreover… there was also some anticipation…
A notification chimed.
"Now, Himeno, do as I say. Slowly bend over."
"I… I understand…"
Himeno obediently complied. Her torso folded forward, head bowed, hands supporting her knees, like a mouse trembling with fear before its predator.
"Take off your shorts and panties. Then spread yourself and let me see."
"O-okay…"
Himeno reached out her fingers, pinched the sides of her shorts, and began to pull down the fabric, along with her panties.
As the shorts slid down inch by inch, Himeno's body was gradually exposed. The shorts slid all the way down to her thighs. Then Himeno reached back and slowly pulled herself apart.
A circular metal base, about five centimeters in diameter, appeared in the center, stuck firmly in place.
