Chapter 19: Chill Life Midst Chaos, this is normal size?
Ding ding ding dong
With the sound that indicated the end of the day, students started dispersing from classes.
Ren and Ai exited the school building and were standing near the gate area, waiting for Utaha.
Standing there and watching the clouds was sure very fun.
With that thought, he noticed students around them, especially the male part, turn their heads in the direction of the school's entrance.
Following their gazes, he saw Utaha jogging in their direction.
Each time she moved her long legs, she covered a big enough distance to even call it a proper run.
Her long cascading hair flying from side to side, and her slightly flushed face.
As Utaha reached the pair waiting for her, she inhaled deeply, trying to catch her breath.
"Sorry, had to drop by my club and take some books I had stashed there," she said, while flicking her hair with her hand from her shoulder behind her back.
Ai just nodded and turned to Ren.
"Let's go, Utaha, car's waiting that way," he pointed in the direction where his drive was already waiting for them, and started walking.
Utaha was slightly confused, followed them, and started looking at all the cars and taxis parked along the road that went by the school.
"Hmm~, aren't we taking the metro?" she asked, while trying to guess which car was waiting for them. "Did your parents come to pick you up?"
Ren, coming closer to the black car that they usually rode daily, turned to the girls behind him.
"No, I currently live alone, while Ai sometimes stays over." Ren winked at Ai and directed his attention to Utaha, observing her ever-changing face.
Utaha processed the first part of his words; well, it made sense.
Hearing the second part, though, she heard him mentioning Ai staying overnight, her imagination ran wild.
cough
With flushed cheeks, she cleared her throat and looked at the car.
Honestly, she couldn't even tell what car brand this was, only that this was quite a costly car by the looks of it.
"Ahem~, Nice car, super Rich-kun, clearly not a common folk like us, who ride the metro." Getting herself together, she snarkily said.
Ren just smiled, opened the car's door, and signaled them to come get inside.
Ai, by instinct, went inside first. Ren looked at Utaha and hurried her inside with his eyes.
Utaha, getting stared at by him, proudly puffed her chest and got inside, sitting next to Ai.
Ren got inside and closed the door, leaning closer to the front seats, pressed a button, which made the opaque window divider transparent, and told their family driver to head home.
Utaha, observing the car's interior, kept looking around; it was her first time driving in anything like this.
Comfortable brown leather seats, a star-like car ceiling, and screens everywhere she looked.
Ren, resting his head on the headrest, just chuckled, looking at her fascinated expression.
"First time?"
"Yes."
"Do you like it?"
"Yeah."
"It's going to only get better from here on."
"Yeah, I like it, feels nice."
Utaha said while feeling how nice her leather seat felt under her palm as she kept rubbing it.
Suddenly, she froze, thinking back on all his questions and her replies.
"Rich-kun..." She cast a deadly glare at Ren.
pft
Ai covered her mouth and silently laughed, turning away from Utaha.
Utaha, noticing how both Ai and Ren weren't taking it seriously, just leaned back and crossed her hands under her chest.
"It seems to me that you both are just a couple of bullies, not a master and his maid."
As she finished saying that, her phone rang.
"Oh, one sec," she opened her bag, after rummaging the insides, finding her phone, she looked at the caller ID 'Stinky Editor'
hmpf
Utaha harrumphed and answered the call.
"Moshi moshi~, Sonoko-san?"
Ren could hear the excited voice of Machida Sonoko coming from Utaha's phone.
"Hai~.....Yes?.....Really? That's great news!!!" Utaha turned to Ren and smiled sweetly as she continued her conversation.
"Yes! I am already doing some field work for the new plot.... Thank you, Editor-san!"
She put away her phone and not a breath later threw her hands around Ren's neck.
"Rich-kun, my editor just called, she said my new material is really good!"
Utaha kept pressing her chest against Ren's arm and not realizing the fact.
With stars in her eyes as she kept looking at his face.
"She already talked with the chief editor and he said that if I continue writing with the same quality, they will green light more copies for my next print batch!"
Ren smiled, clearly enjoying closeness with one of the most popular characters from his past.
He brought his hand to her side and tickled her waist a little.
hya
Utaha jumped, surprised, and plopped back into her seat.
"Ahem~, so as I said, it seems like you guys helped me out this time," realising how her previous behaviour might have been implicating, she said, trying to redirect attention.
Ren shook his head, "It's no problem, we just let you observe us a little," he looked at her black stocking clad leg that was touching his thigh, "Maybe after observing us a little more today, you might get even more inspiration?" he said, not taking his eyes away from her delicious looking plump thigh.
Utaha looked at his face, and noticing where he was looking, blushed.
She had almost close to zero experience in romance herself, only from reading the books she usually carried with her, or from doing research on the internet for her novel.
But that doesn't mean she was oblivious to her previous actions or Ren's clear interest in her legs.
Utaha smiled slyly, raising her feet off the floor, and she started gliding them along Ren's shin.
"Yeah, Rich-kun, you helped me a lot this time, and with your future assistance, how could I ever repay you?" she asked, placing her index finger on her chin and tilting her head slightly.
Making it seem like she was thinking hard, all while continuing to press her thigh against him and scratching his shin with her feet below.
Feeling his beast starting to wake up, Ren crossed his right leg over and patted her thigh with his hand a couple of times.
"Well, we will for sure figure it out in the future, Utaha," he gave her a deep, meaningful stare.
Hayasaka Ai, silently observing the two from the side, just thought that Utaha kept provoking the beast she really shouldn't.
After a little more silent flirting between Ren and Utaha, the car they were driving in started to slow down, taking a turn once more, it stopped.
Looking outside the window, realising that they spent almost the whole ride pressing each other's legs, Ren gave her playful thigh one last squeeze and opened the door.
Watching the car silently drive away, Utaha finally turned around from the road and took in the humongous exterior of the house.
Walking closer to the open gate, she went inside the green front garden of the property.
"Mega Rich-kun, how wealthy is your family, exactly?" Utaha had just one question she wanted to ask at the moment, forget the car, what's the deal with alien alien-looking estate, how could one even afford that?
"Hahaha~ My grandfather had some luck 70 years ago, not really stopping, over the years it somehow came to this, I guess," Ren said while punching in code and opening the entrance door.
Utaha, feeling a little out of place, following behind calm Ai, entered the house, as she fully entered inside, and took off her shoes, she stood at the entrance of the main living room.
"Rich-kun...." Honestly, she didn't have words; wealth blinded her eyes.
Ren nudged her from behind, "C'mon, let's go wash our hands."
Hayasaka Ai, already tied her hair on the back of her head, washed her hands, and started getting out products for cooking out of the fridge.
Meanwhile, Ren and Utaha came out of the bathroom after washing their hands there.
"You can chill on the couch a little. I need to head up and change my clothes." Ren turned to Utaha and was about to start going up the staircase.
Already more or less used to the sheer stupidity of the wealth that the Hosino family had, Utaha quickly reached out to grab Ren's hand.
"W-wait, can I see your room?"
That was the first thought that came into her mind after seeing Ren turn around.
She was not about to miss the opportunity to explore the room of a young male living his life to the fullest.
"Huh? Sure, come with, just don't expect anything special," Ren took her hand into his and started walking up while making sure that she didn't slip on the marble steps.
Misunderstanding his action, Utaha was about to say something, but feeling the pull, she tightened her grip and followed.
Two quickly ascended the stairs. Ren wanted to let go, but when he loosened his grip, looking down at his hand, he smiled, continuing to go in the direction of his room.
Opening his room's door, they went inside. Utaha, still holding his hand, started taking in the interior of the first boys' room she ever came inside. (nice, again)
Ren, standing beside her and looking at her face, brought their interlocked hands up, shaking them before her.
Utaha, seeing herself still holding his hand, quickly let go.
"Sorry," she muttered and started walking around the room, looking at his bookshelf, his desk, a couple of figurines on the computer desk, monitor, mirror, and her reflection.
Turning around, she was about to ask something, but she just stood frozen.
Before her, Ren opened his wardrobe, taking off his jacket, followed by unbuttoning his shirt and taking it off, he hung them and took out his regular T-shirt he usually wore at home.
Noticing the strange quietness, he turned around with his T in hand.
"What?" he asked and looked at her tomato-red face.
"Wa-wa-wa....." Utaha stared at his naked upper body and couldn't even say a word.
Looking at his chiseled chest, she lowered her eyes, barely able to count how many abs he had, sideways, his forearms, rivers of veins that ran through his arms.
"Hmm~, Utaha, what's wrong?" Ren tilted his head, asked.
"R-ren-kun, can I touch?" Utaha absentmindedly asked, coming closer to him.
"Sure, go ahead," lowering his hand, he stood in front of her, knowing exactly what he was doing.
Nodding, Utaha brought up her hand and landed her palm on his chest.
Experiencing this for the first time, she played with them a little, pressing into them and sliding her palm across, between the two, left to right.
Following lower, she traced his abs with her fingers, circling each one of them.
Ren, looking at the entranced girl, smiled and let her live in her fantasies a little longer.
After a couple of minutes, Utaha had honestly long since realised the weirdness of the situation, but feeling as if she said anything about her acting in the spur of the moment, it would only make it worse, because she simply decided to go with the flow and explore.
Getting tired of the playfulness of the cheeky girl, Ren caught her finger and brought it to his face.
"Enjoyed enough yet?" he gave her a wink and kissed the finger he was holding.
Utaha shook and quickly stepped back, taking her hand out of his hold.
"Ahem~ Y-yes? Yes! Material! I was gathering material for my novel," with blush all over her cheeks and feeling a little dazed, Utaha tried not to look at his face and turned her head to his bed.
Getting an idea, she crouched beside his mattress and, slightly propping it up with her hand, Utaha started looking for something.
Slipping inside a regular grey T, Ren changed his pants, turned to Utaha.
Coming closer, Ren leaned forward and crouched right beside her.
"Found something?" he whispered into her ear.
"Kyaa~" Utaha exclaimed and fell back on her butt, looking surprised.
"H-how did you even get close, I didn't even hear you!" she yelled, "Besides that, w-where is your porn?"
"Huh?" Now it was Ren's turn to get surprised, "Why do I need porn under my mattress?"
"What do you mean?" Utaha started explaining, "It is a known fact, every boy in his adolescence phase hides his porn for situations when he wants to release himself!"
Now, Ren was confused. Did she not know that almost 99% of young adults just had locked folder tabs in their browsers?
Well, he wouldn't explain that; he did have them after all.
Sitting down on his knees, Ren smiled and looked deeply at her face, "Utaha..."
Seeing him shift towards her, she scooted back a little, still on her bum, "Y-yes, Rich-kun?"
Ren gave her a hungry look and, extending his left arm, he caught her left ankle.
Just as quickly, he placed his right arm under her calf.
Squeezing her calf and massaging it a little, he moved his right palm higher, reaching and scratching her under knee with his nails, causing her legs to twitch a little.
"Hmmm~" She couldn't hold in the moan as she kept holding her breath, not knowing what to do in this situation.
"Say, Utaha, do I need porn?" Following with his right arm, he shifted it to her lower thigh and stopped. He kept looking into her eyes.
After looking into each other's eyes for a few moments, Ren finally decided to let her go.
He brought her ankle closer to his face and gave her foot a smooch.
kiss
Just as quickly, he lowered her foot and stood up, offering his hand to help her stand up.
Utaha, on instinct, grabbed his hand, got pulled up to her feet, and continued to stare at him, her mind since long ago felt like a mess.
"So, how's that for material?" Ren patted her head, asked with slight interest.
"Rich-kun..." Utaha tried gathering herself together.
'I like him, I like him, I like him, I like him, I LOVE HIM!'
But only one thought was present inside her head.
Deciding in her heart, Utaha finally nodded.
"Yes, Ren-kun, sadly, I wasn't able to get the chance to tease you."
"Only getting more material for my novel, my my~, just how would I be able to repay you, right, Ren-kun?"
She came closer to him, and glanced up at his face, tilting her head and wiggling her brows.
"We will decide later," Ren whispered, looking at the perfectly smooth face of the loveable girl from up close.
He slightly flicked her nose, and he felt they had already made a certain cute maid wait for them.
"Ouch~" Utaha touched her nose, and looked to the side where Ren now stood, opening the door and waiting for her to follow.
