[Part 2]

[Body: A figure with a hint of soft fullness. Perhaps not slender, nor does it match the typical fragility of a young maiden, but the well-balanced plumpness and endearing tenderness make one want to pull her close and never let go.

Her youthful skin, inherently as white and smooth as milk, seems even more radiant and dewy after being nurtured by the essence of love, like a flower blooming in full splendor.

However... occasional watering is enough. Even the strongest flower can't withstand a downpour; it might drown in its own sea of bliss.]

[Heart: 'As long as you don't stop, the path will continue to extend towards the future' -- realizing this, the girl began to move forward.

He, like the sun, illuminated her path, giving her warmth and energy, allowing her to gradually blossom with her own radiance.

She wants to repay his light and warmth, with her body, with her love.

So... maybe try a few more things next time?

-- Thus thought Shihouu Chouko.]

[Chest: ...Under development -1...]

[Baby's Room: ...Filled to the brim...]

[Front Garden: ...First taste of intimacy...]

[Back Garden: ...XXX words omitted...]

……

"Honestly..."

Chouko lay limply on the dining table, gazing at Harutaki, who was energetically eating his breakfast, and couldn't help but complain.

Usually, after making breakfast, she would enjoy the fruits of her labor while it was hot, but today she had little appetite for the food on her plate. Especially seeing the milky white liquid in the glass, she was reminded of last night, of the things that had even choked her, coming out her nose.

Even now, when she breathed, she felt she could still smell Harutaki's rich scent.

And also...

"I took such a long shower this morning, but it was still flowing out in the bathtub. I wasted a whole tub of hot water, all Harutaki-kun's fault."

She propped herself up on the table, took a bite of the rolled omelette, and shot him a reproachful glare.

"I told you to stop."

"But you still looked unsatisfied."

"Pervert, beast, hopeless, lewd, sex-crazed dog..."

Midway through her tirade, Chouko suddenly seemed to remember something, her expression darkening, causing Harutaki to put down his chopsticks and focus his attention on her.

"I'll listen to you next time."

Ignoring the champagne cork popped by Fuyuno, the main course after being pent up for over a month had indeed left him feeling refreshed, both physically and mentally.

However, remembering how he had been driven by desire the night before, he was reflecting on it properly.

"That's not what I meant..."

After all, Chouko herself had enjoyed it immensely. She had initially thought it would be so painful she wouldn't be able to sleep, but instead...

She paused, then continued:

"What I meant was... what do we do when we get to school? Even though we've only not seen them for 4 days, but..."

This topic was unavoidable, as expected.

Harutaki sighed inwardly, thinking about how to handle it while pretending not to understand, asking back innocently.

"It's only been 4 days, nothing to worry about, right? Nogami and the others aren't the type to hold petty grudges against friends. A sincere apology should be fine."

"What about our relationship, Harutaki-kun?"

Evasion failed.

"I'll permit you to share a little bit of last night's experience with Nogami and the others. If you could brag a little about how amazing I was, I'd be happy~"

He dismissed the warning signs flashing in his mind and intentionally made a risqué joke, giving Chouko a chance to retort and complain.

As expected, the girl couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Share the feeling of Harutaki-kun clinging to me like a baby?"

And honestly, did she even need to brag about how amazing Harutaki was?

Feeling the lingering weakness in her legs, Chouko blushed, feeling as if something might be about to leak out again.

Even though she had checked repeatedly before leaving the bathroom, convinced everything was fine.

"What's wrong with humans loving their mommy?"

Harutaki refuted her teasing with righteous indignation, but internally he was already planning. Maybe add some whipped cream or honey next time?

"Of course, if Chouko could convince Sanada-san to let me try, I'd prostrate myself in gratitude for that favor."

"What a scumbag... just took a girl's first time, and now he's talking about other girls right in front of her."

Even though she was complaining, Harutaki couldn't detect any dissatisfaction in her expression or tone.

What she was worried and concerned about was something else, he thought. It seemed to deviate slightly from his earlier assumptions.

"Hey... Harutaki-kun..."

She let out a soft sigh.

Harutaki waited silently for her to continue.

"...At school, and in front of Izumi and the others... could you please keep the same distance and relationship with me as before?"

A request this good...? Ahem, this strange?

His heart skipped a beat, fearing that Chouko might notice something and suddenly make demands like him cutting ties or distancing himself from the other girls.

He realized he might have been overthinking it, forgetting to consider the girl's personality and behavior.

Although Chouko sometimes acted childish, at her core, she wasn't the type to nitpick. In fact, she was a bit like him — someone willing to make efforts for the person she loved.

But even so, he couldn't bring himself to hurt her without a second thought.

Even though he considered himself her savior, the one who showed her a path forward and gave her the courage to walk it...

Just as one shouldn't do good deeds expecting rewards, his original intention in approaching and helping Chouko was simply genuine affection. However, later not being able to let go of Nogami was a different matter entirely.

An unrepentant scumbag indeed, he chuckled wryly to himself, deciding not to dwell on the issue further.

"It's not that I don't want to be close to you anymore, Harutaki-kun... J-Just, if you want to... I wouldn't necessarily mind doing it in the school bathroom stall..."

Why did it suddenly come to the school bathroom stall?!

The corresponding scene flashed in his mind, and he felt a familiar stirring below. He quickly shifted his focus and changed the subject, glossing over that topic.

"Anyway, as long as Shihouu doesn't let it slip, I definitely won't have any problems."

"Then it's settled, Hoshikawa~"

"What a cold-hearted girl. Last night you kept calling my name... Ow..."

Luckily, he was wearing slippers, he thought. Judging by the force of Chouko's stomp, this topic was probably also off-limits now, like the "even hair is fine" joke.

"Can you...?"

"What? You got a problem, Hoshikawa?"

If only you could be this assertive in bed last night.

He resignedly swallowed the tender, salty fried fish, letting out a shallow sigh.

"No problem."

Why did he feel like he was still at a disadvantage?

Even though both he and Chouko had enjoyed themselves last night, he had exerted more effort and "nourishment," and during the day, he had to give in to her...

This was probably the real taste of love. Being too hung up on gains and losses only makes everyone unhappy. It's mutual accommodation and forbearance that make things last.
