Chapter 122: Guilt and pleasure
Laying on the sofa in the living room, Iino wondered what she should do, especially after she had done all of that.
Yes, she didn't seem to hate Ishigami even if she knew he was disloyal.
Instead, somehow...
'I feel like that girl is like me.'
Yes, like her, who had his weakness, Iino felt like Ishigami faced that girl (Hayasaka) in the same situation as he faced her.
Iino felt conflicted somehow, yet this didn't stop her from doing what she wished to do.
If that girl (Hayasaka) could do that thing, then why couldn't she?
"Ishigami..."
Closing her eyes, she recalled the time she spent with him. Their meeting was nothing but a minor coincidence. He was there, playing a game as he hid from the crowd after getting awkward from quitting his group and watching him be alone, somehow... she approached him, and the two quickly clicked and fitted, talking when there was a chance and supporting each other silently.
Yes, while she knew that he didn't say anything, she knew that he was the one who supported her even if she talked behind her back due to her straightforward and stiff nature and who didn't allow anyone to break the rules.
He was the only one, which was why she was wretched when he didn't ask for her help.
Yet, when everything was cleared up, and he was no longer that person who had this stigma, could she even stand by his side?
Iino wasn't sure, yet when she saw how Onodera, who was part of the girl who also had mocked him in the past, became his girlfriend, she quickly erased that thought.
Yet, Onodera might be the first girl who talked to him even if he had that stigma, but even so, she wasn't the only one, okay?
Iino also talked to him even if most of their conversations weren't good, and they often clashed with each other.
Still, part of her was happy to know that he could be better and happier, yet part of her was also unhappy with those girls who started to have feelings for him, forgetting the horrible things they had done to him.
Was this his revenge?
By making all of them fall in love with him, yet tearing their hearts when they were in love with him so much.
If so, then there was no doubt his revenge was cruel, yet the girls were also cruel since they forgot their rude remarks might have caused him to commit suicide in the past as his social life was completely broken.
If there was no Shirogane, there is no doubt that Ishigami might not be here and be with everyone.
That was why, even if Iino knew that Ishigami played with many women, she wouldn't say much since she felt that this was his revenge, someone who was broken, and she could see that since she was also broken.
Staying alone most of the time, hoping her parents would go back as soon as possible, yet they just insisted on doing their jobs and just gave her money without caring about her emotional well-being. But even so, she knew that the jobs of her parents were necessary since they helped those who were in need more than her.
Iino thought that Ishigami was the same, and that was why she thought that she could be the one who accompanied her since only those who were broken understood the other who was broken.
She thought that she could fix him, making him better, and by then... when he was better, her expression flushed with excitement.
Then, what was she planning to do to invite him to her home?
If she had to be honest, she wasn't sure, but she just blurted out what she wanted to do, so this happened. Still, she felt that it was good to have him stay at her place as it was too lonely to stay alone since, as usual, neither of her parents returned home and continued to work.
Yet, this is how the world is, right?
Only those who were truly lucky could have everything.
Some people had time but had no money; some had money but had no time, so that was why, even if she was being left mostly alone, she was grateful to her parents, who could give her a life that everyone wished for.
Yet, no one was perfect since while they could provide her with mostly anything, they couldn't give her an emotional need.
Still, if she couldn't find that emotional need in her parents, then couldn't she find it in others?
As she thought so, his image appeared in her mind, and frankly, she wondered how many times she used his image to play with her lower body. It felt indescribable, yet also guilty, especially when she used his face to comfort herself, especially when all of the characters or actors that she could think of were far, far worse than him, which made her realize how much she had fallen toward him.
Still, this guilty feeling was like a spice, like a spicy jalapeno that gave a slight pain yet delicious addicted hint to her food.
When she thought about this, she squeezed her slender legs tightly as she looked at the time.
"He should be coming now."
As she had been watching him, she knew when Ishigami would go back after he studied in the library, so he knew that he should come to her place soon, but there should be a time, she thought.
Reaching her lower body with her finger, she leaned her petite body on the sofa and straightened her legs with a sweet sigh. She knew this was wrong, yet... she had to say, it felt so comfortable, especially when it could make her forget about many things.
Whether it was her family, study, or many other things, when she thought of him as she used her finger, her small body felt like being electrocuted, and pleasure made her almost dependent, especially with many of her stresses.
As she thought of him, including the imagination of how she would be in the place of that girl who visited the love hotel together, the sensation that her body felt became even more intense, making her unable to stop the sweet cry that came from her thin lips, yet when she was about to reach the peak, the sound of a bell interrupted her which made her startled.
"—?!"
If it was someone else, she would get angry, but she knew the person who pressed the bell was Ishigami!
'This... what should I do?'
Watching the sofa, that slightly wet, disheveled uniform, and her cute yet lewd expression, Iino was in a daze; she wasn't sure what to do until she heard another bell, which made her quickly stand up, ignoring the fact that she wasn't wearing panties.
If there was something fortunate, the skirt of her uniform was long enough to hide her smooth and small buttocks, which were messy after her previous act.
Nevertheless, as she opened the door, she was dumbfounded. "Koba-chan?"
Yes, Ishigami wasn't alone, and by his side, Kobachi was there.
When their eyes met, an awkwardness happened between them, yet suddenly, Ishigami kissed Kobachi's lips.
"....."
As Iino was in a daze, watching the dirty act between her crush and best friend, Ishigami pulled away from Kobachi's flushed face, then looked at Iino and said, "I have this type of relationship with Kobachi, too."
Instead of hiding everything, he might as well go all out at that moment.
