Time Loop: Doing Whatever I Want

The kiss was so sudden that the instant Yumiko acted, she felt a bit of regret.

But she didn't regret giving the kiss itself — she regretted being so reckless.

How could a first kiss be so hasty?

And if I do this, will Makoto think I'm too easy and dislike me?

The thought popped into her mind, but she couldn't think anymore.

Her emotions flooded her brain like a tide.

Thinking?

She was lucky not to become a stiff marionette.

Whether it was the agitation inside her, the first awakening of love, or just this impulse, at this moment it all found satisfying release.

At the same time, she was surprised by one thing: the romantic scenes she'd seen on TV, where the leads kiss and become unable to hold back, weren't acted out!

Even though this was her first kiss and combined with her passionate, bold move, it looked a bit clumsy and slow.

But the deep feeling from dramas was truly happening inside her now.

Makoto hadn't expected the girl to be so sudden either.

He thought Yumiko would first pretend to be calm, ease the awkwardness, test him, and then get ready for a proper attack.

But instead, Yumiko went all out immediately.

If this was a game, it would be like she skipped all the normal attacks and immediately threw out her ultimate move.

Because her action was so sudden, and she was sitting as she leaned forward, Makoto, who was crouching, had to change his hand from pressing her belly to supporting her slender waist.

This avoided her losing balance and falling, and also showed with actions: he didn't dislike her sudden impulse.

Feeling the warm hand on her waist, she trembled slightly, then closed her dreamy eyes with satisfaction.

I'm not disliked.

After receiving that signal, she let go and instinctively wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

Only this way could she truly feel his presence.

And prevent him from answering the phone and running away!

Makoto had no idea about this; otherwise, he'd definitely laugh out loud at the thought.

Run away?

Sorry, I'm in an invincible state now — how could I run?

In the bedroom filled with romantic atmosphere, the phone kept ringing, but it didn't affect the two intimate people at all.

Yumiko's soft, delicate moans in her breathing sounded very seductive in this sultry atmosphere.

Makoto couldn't help but hug her slim waist tighter.

They both clearly felt each other's body heat. The girl's shyness was fully shown in her trembling hands that held on tightly, and in her tightly closed black-stockinged legs.

When the phone stopped ringing, their movements also paused.

Yumiko completely lost the confidence she usually had in front of classmates. 

At this moment, she looked like a little quail constantly dodging, shrinking her head, her shy eyes wanting to look away.

But Makoto leaned his forehead against her fair one and deliberately asked, "Is this a response to the punishment just now?"

"Huh? N-no, it's not!"

Yumiko hurriedly denied with embarrassment.

If she admitted it, wouldn't that mean she was… seducing him?

Makoto laughed.

The girl who usually seemed confident and good at commanding others was surprisingly innocent.

She lost her composure and confidence, which gave Makoto an opportunity to attack.

Would he miss this chance?

Of course not.

His hand remained on her slender waist, and he softly said, "If it's not punishment, then it must be a reward."

Yumiko didn't know how to respond.

"If it's a reward, I feel it's a bit too little," Makoto added.

Tears in Yumiko's eyes trembled as she bit her lip and said, "Don't tell anyone about today, or I'll turn against you!"

She tried to stubbornly show she still had fighting spirit and wasn't so easy to manipulate.

But Makoto raised his left hand, gently stroking her flushed cheek: "Be good, listen to me."

That sentence again!

Damn it, why say that at a time like this?

Didn't he know it makes me want to obey?

After all, I've come this far — first kiss and all.

Her mind was in chaos, and Makoto's face was so close, his warm breath on her face and neck kept her heart racing fast, making it impossible to think clearly.

She couldn't dodge, couldn't think, and this whole thing was caused by herself.

Also, just like before, she didn't want to keep holding back.

I want to feel good.

Not suffer by holding it in.

Finally, she shyly closed her eyes: "At worst, I won't turn against you, but you absolutely can't tell anyone… Eh?"

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly exclaimed.

Because Makoto had lifted her up in a princess carry.

Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around his neck to steady her balance.

Now their pose was even more intimate.

"W-what are you doing?"

She was both embarrassed and flustered, stammering.

Makoto suddenly asked, "Have you played games? Like those monster-fighting, leveling-up games?"

Yumiko was taken aback, not understanding why he suddenly brought this up.

The girl nodded dumbly, looking quite cute and innocent: "I know those kinds of games."

Makoto stared at her adorable little face: "Since you know, then you should also know some bosses have a second phase."

His posture looked like a popular funny meme.

Yumiko didn't understand the meaning of 'phase two' at first.

Until Makoto laid her back on the bed and kissed her again, she finally understood.

So this is what they call phase two.

This time, she obeyed and still didn't resist.

Because in her heart, she justified it: she was bravely fighting a boss.

Meanwhile,

Ichika held her phone with a puzzled face, wondering why Makoto wasn't answering.

She originally wanted to praise him.

Because her manager had just told her that there was a female supporting role with lines and close-ups in this short film she could try to fight for.

But she had refused.

She just wanted to finish filming this short film now.

Not only because everyone was working hard, and Makoto was giving her all every day.

During the filming, after every time Makoto "gave a speech," she could feel her state was at its peak.

Afterwards, she would remember that feeling and practice her acting privately in front of the mirror.

Recently, she has improved very quickly.

So she refused her agent's advice, planning to use this period of time to work hard and become stronger.

Normally, she could have told Makoto about this online.

But after Nino started to become unreliable, she wanted to call Makoto directly and use that as a reason to visit.

That way, the "Cucumber Fairy" Ichika could shine again.

"Could he be busy with something important? That can't be, before, whenever I sent him a message, he always replies quickly,"

Ichika said, confused.

At this moment, Itsuki came over holding some chips: "Do you want some?"

Ichika asked with a bit of amusement, "You're sharing the new flavor chips I gave you?"

Itsuki blushed a little. Seeing Ichika tightly clutching her phone, she changed the subject: "What are you doing?"

"I just called Makoto, but he didn't answer. I find that really strange."

"He didn't answer your call? Then maybe he's busy with something,"

Itsuki thought nothing more of it.

But Ichika shook her head: "No, today's filming is done. He should be free at home, unless…"

She suddenly thought of a possibility.

Itsuki also thought of one: "Unless he's entertaining a friend, and the conversation is so absorbing that he can't pay attention to his phone."

Ichika's expression changed slightly.

Yukino, is that you?

Are you sneaking around again?

She quickly sent Yukino a voice message.

Itsuki stopped eating chips and sat nervously beside her.

They waited a while, but Yukino didn't answer the voice message.

The atmosphere suddenly became strange.

Seeing Ichika getting more and more uneasy, Itsuki instinctively comforted her: 

"Even though I know Yukinoshita and him are close, that doesn't mean your guess is right. Maybe Yukinoshita is busy too?"

Ichika asked back, "Busy with what?"

"Uh…"

Itsuki was at a loss for words.

Honestly, she was a bit uneasy too.

Just imagining Yukino and Makoto together in an intimate way made her uncomfortable.

But in front of her older sister Ichika, she couldn't show it.

After all, her sister was also very close to Makoto.

"Let's wait a bit longer. After dinner, if they still haven't replied, I'll go with you to Makoto's house," Itsuki said kindly.

But this remark made Ichika suspicious.

Why are you coming with me?

After about ten minutes, Ichika's phone finally buzzed.

It was a message from Yukino: [Sorry, I was busy earlier.]

Ichika was about to reply when her phone vibrated again.

This time, it was a message from Makoto: [Sorry, I was busy earlier.]

Ichika: "…"

Itsuki: "…"

Ridiculous!

Ichika wanted to slam the table.

Yukino, sneaking around is one thing, but now you're even coordinating lines with Makoto?

You could at least change one word.

Ichika couldn't sit still any longer: "I'm going to Makoto's house. I'm skipping dinner."

Itsuki stared blankly as her sister quickly left. She instinctively reached out, mouth open, but couldn't say what she wanted.

She also wanted to go.

"What's wrong, Itsuki? I just heard Ichika's voice earlier. Where is she?"

Nino walked over from the kitchen, apron tied.

Itsuki lowered her eyelids, hiding her emotions: "Ichika said she's not having dinner at home."

"Huh? I specially made her favorite dish. She's been working so hard for the club activities, and now she just runs off?"

Nino crossed her arms, very angry.

Ichika wasn't running away, she was going to confront someone.

Itsuki lowered her head and stuffed a chip into her mouth. The chips, once tasty, now felt dull.
