"Ahhh, it feels so good♡♡♡."
Completely drained of all unnecessary strength, I collapsed onto the bed, basking in the afterglow of climax. My entire body felt like it was floating on fluffy clouds, as if gravity no longer existed. Down there was still tingling. It felt so good, so blissful, I couldn't think of anything else...
"Ruka... that was wonderful... so... so good..."
Rin-san whispered in my ear as she gently embraced me.
"I... I loved it too... Rin-san, I love you... I love you so much..."
At my clumsy, slurred words—my tongue completely relaxed—Rin-san said nothing, simply pressing her lips to mine again.
"Mwah... smack... pop"
Then her lips trailed from my neck to my collarbone, down my cleavage, and finally to my nipple. As her mouth enveloped it, my nipple stiffened embarrassingly hard.
"Ah, ahhn♡ Aahh♡"
"Ruka... you're so cute... Ruka..."
Before I knew it, her fingers were teasing my entrance, making lewd, squelching sounds. Completely limp, I surrendered to her touch.
She's still loving me like this... Rin-san, I really love you so much...
In that moment, overflowing with emotion, I realized something. Yesterday, when I had sex with Chifumi-san, the reason I pictured Rin-san was because deep down, I wanted her to take me. That's why I didn't think of her when I was the one taking charge. I wanted to be held like this by Rin-san. From the very first moment we met...
"──────I... I've done something unforgivable... I'm... unfit to be an officer..."
After it was all over, Rin-san turned her back to me, her voice trembling as she spoke.
"No... that's not true... Rin-san..."
"I engaged in an inappropriate relationship with someone under my protection... This is a clear violation of professional ethics... What have I done..."
As she clutched her head, I gently wrapped my arms around her from behind.
"That's not it... Rin-san, you saved me when I was on the verge of breaking from fear. You protected not just my body, but my heart too."
"Ugh... Uchiba-san..."
"It's 'Ruka,' Rin-san."
Finally, Rin-san lifted her face. Just then, her phone on the table chimed with a notification.
"Nagata... has been apprehended."
The message announced Toru's arrest. The time was past 1 AM. With this, a period was finally placed on my long, tangled history with Toru. And it also meant Rin-san's protection detail was officially over.
"That's a relief..."
"Apologies for the worry, but you're safe now."
Rin-san let out a sigh of relief. Then, aiming at her back, I dropped a bombshell.
"Rin-san, go out with me!"
"!?"
She turned to me, frozen stiff.
"I-I mean, assuming you're not seeing anyone right now... I hope you're not... I want you as my girlfriend, and I want to be yours. Is that... not okay?"
"N-no, I'm not seeing anyone... but... it's just... with a Gene Recipient, that's..."
"Is it because I'm a Recipient? Or because I'm a girl?"
Under my rapid-fire questions, Rin-san sank into a chair, looking conflicted. After a long pause, she began speaking haltingly—though she probably didn't realize her face had turned bright red.
"I... I've..."
Slowly, hesitantly, she continued.
"Ever since I was little, I could never see men as romantic interests... I've only ever fallen for girls..."
Apparently, Rin-san had struggled with this since childhood. She still wasn't sure if it stemmed from gender dysphoria or if she was simply a lesbian. In high school, several boys had confessed to her, and she'd dated two of them, but neither relationship lasted.
"There was a bisexual girl in my police academy class... we dated for about two years. But then she left me for a man..."
After that first failed relationship with a woman, she hadn't dated since.
"But... when I first met Ruka, my heart was stolen. I thought, 'What an adorable girl'... After that, I couldn't think of anything but you... That's why I..."
Her words made me indescribably happy. I felt the same—my heart had been pierced the moment I first saw her.
"Me too... I was drawn to you from the first glance. So we're both in love, right? Then it's fine! I don't have any plans or intentions to marry—I just want to be with you forever."
"B-but... I'm an only child. I have to get married and give my parents grandchildren..."
Poor Rin-san. Burdened with excessive obligations, her earnest nature made her determined to fulfill them. Being attracted to women yet forcing herself to marry a man for her parents' sake—that might've been acceptable in the past, but not in this day and age...
Then, I had an absolutely brilliant idea.
"Hey, what if you became a Gene Recipient too? That would solve everything. If the grandchild is a Genius Gene Child, your parents would have to accept it, right?"
Rin-san gasped at my suggestion.
"M-me? A Recipient?! But... with Kido Chifumi...?"
"Huh? You know Chifumi-san?"
"We've never met, but since he's involved in your case, I have basic information..."
"Chifumi-san is amazing. Kind, incredible in bed, and he'd never do anything a girl dislikes. He's the one who freed me from Toru's curse. If it's him, I wouldn't mind at all if you slept together... Oh! When's your next period?"
The sudden topic shift left Rin-san blinking in confusion.
"...Huh?"
"I was just wondering when your cycle is."
"I'm... a full-moon cycle, so about two weeks from now..."
"Wow! Same as me! I'm ovulating right around today. That's why I had insemination yesterday!"
"W-wait, I'm lost... What are we talking about?"
As my words sank in, Rin-san's expression grew more bewildered. Seeing this usually dignified woman so flustered was adorable.
"What I mean is, becoming a Recipient takes about 2-3 years, minimum 1.5 years. By the time you're approved, I'll probably have already given birth. Actually, I only planned to have one child, but with you, I'd happily have more."
"Eh? Eh?"
"So here's the plan: once you're a Recipient, I'll request re-insemination, and we can do it together!"
"Huh?!"
"Come on, let's do it♡ Having sex with you, me, and Chifumi-san would feel incredible. Way better than forcing yourself to marry a man you can't love, right?"
Our cycles matching up like this—it had to be fate! I was giddy at my own idea. Meanwhile, Rin-san, who'd been stunned at first, gradually began to smile, until she finally burst out laughing.
"Ahaha, ahahaha!"
"What's so funny? Was it that weird?"
"No... haha, sorry, it's just so outlandish... You're incredible, Ruka... To solve my lifelong dilemma so easily... hahaha..."
Wiping tears from her eyes, Rin-san kept laughing.
"So... so does that mean...?"
"Alright. I'll become a Recipient. And I'll make siblings for your child with you."
"R-really?!"
"Yeah. So Ruka, will you go out with me? And stay by my side forever?"
"Thank you, Rin-san! We'll be together forever and ever♡"
We embraced tightly, savoring each other's heartbeat and warmth.
"Hey, Rin-san, kiss me♡"
When I begged, she smiled tenderly. As her lips met mine, our tongues entwined. A fierce kiss, devouring each other's mouths as we exchanged saliva. When we parted, a silver bridge formed between us. Catching it with my tongue, I swallowed, feeling heat surge through my core. I wanted more, but any further and we might lose control. Reluctantly, we stopped.
"Here's to us, Ruka♡"
"Mhm♡ I love you, Rin-san♡"
With Rin-san, I'm afraid of nothing. To others, we might seem twisted, but I don't care. We'll find our own happiness.
