Sajuna's cheeks were slightly flushed, and she paused before asking, "Aki-Kun, did you look inside just now?"
"..." Akira's heart skipped a beat.
Sajuna's gaze turned to Akira, and seeing him looking at her chest, she became even more curious about the answer to her question.
"No."
Akira hesitated for a moment before replying.
To be precise, he didn't see inside.
Because although Sajuna's top had a wide neckline, if one were to look inside, they should be able to see something.
However, Akira's angle at the moment wasn't very good, so basically everything was blocked.
"Really not?"
Sajuna leaned closer, and Akira could smell the sweet scent of a young girl from her.
She must be a girl with a citrus scent, Akira thought to himself.
"No."
Akira's voice became more firm.
Sajuna stared at Akira's face for a while, then suddenly chuckled, and quickly kissed Akira's cheek.
"Eh?"
Akira looked at Sajuna in surprise
.
"Here, Aki-Kun's reward."
Sajuna looked at Akira in front of her with a proud expression.
Sajuna was really getting bolder and bolder.
She used to be shy about such things.
Akira couldn't help but reach out and stroke Sajuna's hair, which was as smooth and flowing as ever, making Akira want to feel the texture of Sajuna's strands with his fingertips.
Sajuna also couldn't help but lean on Akira's shoulder, feeling the warmth of his body.
The two sat on the sofa, unsure what to do next.
The TV wasn't on today, and Shinju had gone out with her friends.
The vast living room was left with only the two of them sitting quietly on the sofa, close together.
Although it was already a hot summer day, with the air conditioning on, the two people sitting close together didn't feel the heat.
After asking Akira twice, Sajuna quietly leaned on Akira's shoulder.
Sajuna's cheek rested on Akira's shoulder, her hands gently holding Akira's arm, and the fingers of one hand intertwined with Akira's right hand, their fingers laced together.
Akira could feel Sajuna's cheek slowly warming up, her flushed cheeks appearing even more adorable, making him want to peck her a few times.
"Sajuna."
Akira softly called out, looking at Sajuna's cheek.
"Hmm?"
"Hmm!"
Sajuna looked up in confusion, only to see Akira leaning in, his lips gently brushing against hers, and then he looked at her with a smile.
"Aki-Kun."
Sajuna's breathing quickened, and the rise and fall of her chest became more pronounced.
"Aki-Kun, you're always so mischievous."
Sajuna couldn't help but pout, looking as if she was asking Akira for a kiss.
The midday sun wasn't too intense yet. It shone into the living room through the window, adding a different kind of warm color to the room.
The atmosphere inside the house also seemed to blur in this warm color.
"Aki-Kun."
Sajuna's voice began to tremble, seemingly with a hint of hesitation.
"Hmm?"
Akira questioned, looking at the downcast Sajuna.
The girl's shy face held a unique charm, and he felt a strange sensation, a soft, tingling numbness that began to invade his entire body. If one could kiss such a girl, no one in the world would be able to resist such a temptation.
Akira thought to himself, feeling his heartstrings being tugged once again by Sajuna's cute appearance.
"Last time, last time..."
Akira patiently waited for Sajuna to express her thoughts.
Sajuna took a deep breath, recalling the time she went with Aki-Kun to see Wakana make clothes for Marin.
If she remembered correctly, Marin couldn't do anything, right?
Most things were left to Wakana to do, right?
No, she wasn't envious of Marin, after all, she still wanted to help Aki-Kun with some things.
It's just that Marin even needed Wakana's help with makeup.
It seemed she really hadn't been exposed to cosplay and costume making before.
So, the measurements Kitagawa-san needed for making clothes couldn't have been taken by her alone, right?
They must have been taken by Wakana, right?
Sajuna couldn't help but compare her relationship with Aki-Kun to others.
However, because Aki-Kun always brought up trying to get Wakana and Marin together, Sajuna couldn't help but start paying attention to their progress.
Sometimes, she couldn't help but envy Marin's carefree gyaru personality.
If she were also that kind of personality, would Aki-Kun be very happy?
This had nothing to do with a crisis in their relationship; it was just based on love, wanting the other person to see her change.
Akira seemed to sense Sajuna's little struggle in her heart. He didn't press her to ask what she was thinking, but simply gently hugged Sajuna from behind.
Feeling Akira's body pressed against her back, Sajuna's cheeks became even redder, and her heart rate accelerated a few beats, but she still kept her head down and didn't speak.
From behind Sajuna, Akira looked at her face, obscured by her pink hair, feeling that the cheeks hidden beneath her hair were so delicate and lovely, making him unable to help but drool.
His nose was only a few centimeters from Sajuna's neck, and his heavy breath slowly puffed onto Sajuna's neck. Akira could see Sajuna's body tremble slightly a few times.
Sajuna seemed to finally be unable to bear Akira's comforting, and she closed her eyes, speaking with a tone of resignation, "Last time with Shinju, when we measured, measured, measured the sizes, Shinju, Shinju said I seemed to have gained weight."
"So, so can Aki-Kun help me remeasure?"
Sajuna's cheeks turned crimson, and faint steam could be seen above her head.
Oh no, will Aki-Kun think I'm a frivolous girl?
How could I use this method to give my boyfriend a 'benefit'?
But, he's already my boyfriend, so it's probably fine, right?
Sajuna comforted herself, completely oblivious to Akira's peculiar expression behind her.
This plot development, did he really have to re-enact the scene of Wakana measuring Marin's body at Sajuna's house?
But, Sajuna was his girlfriend!
Facing such a cute girlfriend, taking her body measurements closely, even if she wore a swimsuit, he might not be able to handle it!
After all, no one was an FPS shooting game master like Wakana, capable of such good gun control!
Akira felt conflicted.
