Chapter 138: A Fun Fact, When Kissing...
Is this something my eyes are allowed to see? "Don't look, Kanao, you'll get a stye in your eye," Aoi hastily said, reaching out to cover Kanao's eyes.
However, while she was busy shielding Kanao, she herself was watching with absolute rapture. Subconsciously, she even began mentally substituting herself into Shinobu's place.
Aoi licked her dry lips, feeling her face growing hotter by the second. She desperately wanted to touch her own cheeks to see just how burning hot they were. After a brief internal struggle, she gave up on the idea, keeping her hands firmly clamped over Kanao's eyes.
What she completely failed to notice was that, while her hands were indeed covering Kanao's eyes, the gaps between her trembling fingers provided a perfect, unobstructed view of the scene unfolding before them.
What is Shinobu-nee doing? Watching Shinobu being kissed by Suyan, Kanao's tiny head was filled with massive confusion.
Suyan? Is it this man? When Kanae-nee said they should interact more with this man named Suyan... is this what she meant?
But out of everyone present, the absolute happiest person in the room was undoubtedly Kocho Kanae.
Kanae excitedly grabbed her newly minted best friend, Saeko, and pointed eagerly at the kissing couple. "Saeko, look! Look! That's my little sister, Shinobu!"
Saeko scratched her cheek with her index finger, clearly bewildered. "Uh, is this really something worth being so proud of?"
Kanae put on a deeply profound expression and sighed, "You just don't understand!"
This was everything she had ever wanted. She wanted her younger sisters to find their own happiness. Seeing Shinobu's body slowly growing soft and pliant under Suyan's kiss, and the irrepressible blush spreading across her cheeks... wasn't this the very picture of happiness?
Kanae's own face began to flush a deep crimson. Perhaps due to the effects of the contract, she could faintly empathize with the sensations her sister was currently experiencing.
Completely oblivious to her own flushed state, she stared intensely at Shinobu and muttered to herself, Shinobu-chan is just too cute~
Hearing Kanae's words and observing her current reactions, Saeko rubbed her chin. She felt like she had a pretty good read on the situation now. Perhaps she and Kanae would get along splendidly in the future. Watching Kanae's intense focus, the purple-haired girl couldn't help but smile at the thought.
Aside from Kanae, the second happiest person in the room was definitely Nezuko.
Kanae-nee, Saeko-senpai, Shinobu-nee... Suyan-niisan hadn't shown any disgust when she kissed his cheek earlier. That meant she, Kamado Nezuko, hadn't lost yet!
Nezuko pressed her small fists to her chest, her confidence surging back. She looked enviously toward Shinobu in Suyan's arms.
Shinobu, meanwhile, could never have predicted this. She never imagined Suyan would actually kiss her in front of so many people.
The moment his lips met hers, Shinobu completely froze. Her eyes flew wide open, her purple irises filled entirely by Suyan's face, so close she could feel his eyelashes.
Out of the corner of her eye, Shinobu instinctively sought out her sister. And just as if she had sensed it, Kanae—who had been deeply engrossed in conversation with Saeko—turned her head to look at them at that exact moment.
Boom! In that instant, Shinobu felt as if a bomb had detonated inside her skull. Her mind went completely blank. Only a single, echoing thought remained.
She saw it! She saw it! She saw it! Shinobu instinctively tried to tear herself out of Suyan's embrace. But with her minuscule strength—she ranked dead last in the Hashira arm wrestling contests, lacked the physical power to even cut off a demon's head, and had to rely entirely on poison—her struggles were no different than a lover's coquettish flirting to him.
She was even weaker than Kanroji Mitsuri when she threw a tantrum.
Besides, Suyan's entire goal was to make her blush; there was no way he was going to let her go easily. Furthermore, she had forcefully kissed him last night; his actions now were simply a counterattack.
Unable to break free, Shinobu finally resorted to acting like an ostrich burying its head in the sand, squeezing her eyes tightly shut.
But the sensations transmitting from her lips constantly plucked at her nerves. Her entire body stiffened uncontrollably, yet instinctively, she strained to stand on her tiptoes, responding to the heat radiating from Suyan.
When Suyan adjusted his grip, shifting his hand to cup her firm, tight rear, a violent shudder ripped through the young girl. It felt as if static electricity had washed over her, making every hair on her body stand on end.
Slowly, Shinobu sank deeper into the kiss. Her body completely relaxed, as if Suyan's lips had slowly siphoned away the very spine holding her up. She melted, completely limp, against his chest.
With her eyes squeezed shut, blocking out all light, and her consciousness entirely submerged in the kiss, Shinobu completely lost all track of time.
She had no idea how long it had been before Suyan finally pulled away.
Inhale Exhale The moment they separated, Shinobu opened her mouth, desperately gasping for the fresh air around her. Her body was still humming with an intense, numb weakness, leaving her entirely draped against Suyan for support.
At that moment, Suyan pressed his advantage. He leaned in close to her ear and gently kissed her earlobe, sending another violent tremble through her soft frame.
Only then did he whisper softly, "Shinobu, a fun fact."
"Hmm?" Shinobu was still terribly dizzy and couldn't process his words. She looked up at him, blinking her misty eyes in confusion.
With a perfectly calm tone, Suyan stated, "You can actually breathe through your nose when you kiss."
As he said it, he reached out and flicked her delicate nose.
Shinobu instantly understood. He was teasing her! She fiercely glared at him. If she had any strength left in her limbs right now, she absolutely would have drawn her Nichirin Sword and stabbed a few dozen holes into this bastard.
Meanwhile, standing nearby, Kanae, Aoi, and Nezuko all secretly nodded to themselves, silently absorbing this new piece of knowledge.
"Shinobu, Shinobu, how did the kiss feel? Was it comfortable?" Kanae rushed over, her face brimming with insatiable curiosity.
Although this was the second time she had seen her sister kiss Suyan, she had been a soul form last night and couldn't ask.
"Sister?!"
Hearing Kanae's voice suddenly pipe up right beside her, Shinobu's eyes trembled violently. Her body shook uncontrollably, and her vibrant purple eyes slowly began to lose their light.
Clutching Suyan's shirt desperately, she let out a silent, internal scream.
Why? Why did you have to see that?! And why on earth are you asking me such an incredibly embarrassing question?!
