Chapter 141 Then Why Don't You Just Use Force?
"Hostile actions and such...
Is it really necessary to go to that extent?"
Hikigaya looked speechless. He truly could not understand Kushida Kikyo's line of thinking.
"Don't you dare play dumb!
Speak up, quickly!!" Kushida Kikyo seemed to have a firm attitude, but from her flickering, unsettled gaze, one could tell her heart was filled with hesitation and anxiety.
Hikigaya didn't answer; he just watched her quietly.
Kushida Kikyo, meanwhile, glared at him with a fierce light in her eyes. The two stared at each other. After a while, Kushida Kikyo finally yielded.
"Hey... Hikigaya, just stand on my side!"
Kushida Kikyo's voice suddenly became much weaker, looking at him imploringly: "Onegai~ As long as you choose me, I, I can..."
As she spoke, she grabbed Hikigaya's palm, preparing to press it against her "full heart." Hikigaya spread his five fingers wide, forcefully stopping her movement.
Kushida Kikyo was stunned for a moment, then pulled hard, but she still couldn't budge Hikigaya's palm.
"Hey, Hikigaya!
Are you even a man?
I've gone to this extent, and you can actually still hold back?" Kushida Kikyo was instantly fuming with rage.
"Kushida, don't look down on people too much."
Hikigaya took a deep breath and forcefully broke free from her grasp. But in the next second, he suddenly pushed Kushida Kikyo down.
"Eh?!" Kushida Kikyo was startled by this sudden movement.
"Hi-Hikigaya?!
You, what are you trying to do...?!"
At this moment, both her shoulders were pinned down by him; her body was unable to move.
"What am I trying to do?
Isn't this what you wanted to do?" Hikigaya narrowed his dead-fish eyes, scanning her up and down without restraint. It had to be said, these two high-and-low treasure mountains were indeed charming!
"No... I never said to go this far!
You, let go of me!!" Kushida Kikyo kicked her legs in struggle. However, judging by her limp movements, it looked less like resistance and more like acting spoiled.
Hikigaya lowered his head, attempting to press closer. Their breaths blew against each other's faces.
"Wa-wait a second!
I, I'm not... prepared yet..."
Kushida Kikyo's face turned red to her ears and her heart rate accelerated. She closed her eyes tremblingly, tears shimmering at the corners of her eyes. However, after waiting for a while, the expected intrusion did not happen.
Kushida Kikyo cautiously opened one eye.
"Now, you should understand, right?"
Hikigaya released his grip on her shoulders and stood up, performing a tactical retreat.
"Kushida, your sense of chastity is more conservative than you yourself imagine." Hikigaya spoke expressionlessly.
Kushida Kikyo opened her mouth, momentarily left without a word.
Why? Before she came here, she had clearly made the mental preparation to risk everything. But when the moment truly arrived, she actually chickened out!
"Am I very stupid?" Kushida Kikyo mocked herself with a complex expression.
"It's alright. At least you haven't reached the point where 'Happy Beans' go straight to your brain."
"What does that mean?"
"See, you don't even understand that. You're so pure~~ Kushida-san."
Kushida Kikyo looked defiant: "Tch! You're just all talk. Aren't you 'zero experience' yourself?"
"I can accumulate experience in my dreams."
"???"
Kushida Kikyo's head was full of black lines, and the corner of her mouth twitched wildly: "Why are you able to make wet dreams sound so noble?"
"As a side note, Kushida-san has also appeared in my dreams."
Hikigaya spoke the honest truth with a serious face.
"Hah?
Pervert! Vulgar!"
Kushida Kikyo protected her front with both hands, looking at him with utter disgust: "Don't knead people's chests like dough in your dreams!!"
"That's nothing. I even 'strike the drums with a club'." Hikigaya spoke righteously.
"( ⊙ o ⊙ )"
"Hee? That expression—you seem to understand!"
"I don't understand what you're talking about (#`O′)."
After this interruption, the ambiguous atmosphere vanished without a trace.
"In the end, you still didn't give me an answer..." Kushida Kikyo sighed helplessly.
"You can't even make up your own mind, what is there to say?" Hikigaya spread his hands, shifting the blame.
"Then why don't you just use force?" Kushida Kikyo shouted at him.
"Uh, sorry...I am a law-abiding, good citizen."
Hikigaya broke into a heavy sweat. This woman's thoughts were truly world-defying.
"Tch~ Coward!" After giving one last jab, Kushida Kikyo stood up, preparing to leave.
"Safe travels, I won't see you out."
Seeing this, Hikigaya finally breathed a sigh of relief and quietly adjusted his sitting posture.
To his surprise, Kushida Kikyo, who had just reached the door, suddenly performed a "return-of-the-horse spear" maneuver! She grabbed Hikigaya's neck from behind.
"Ah? Kushida-san?!" Hikigaya suffered an attack of "brain-cushion waves."
"...Pretending to be so serious, yet your body is quite honest!"
Kushida Kikyo rested her chin on his shoulder, her gaze naturally following downward. After seeing the clearly visible "tent," the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
"...That is a normal physiological reaction!" Hikigaya forced himself to remain calm.
"Do you want me to help you lower it?" Kushida Kikyo reached out her hand in a gripping gesture.
"Really?" Hikigaya's heart stirred.
"Ah? You really want it?
Tsk! Shameless!!"
Kushida Kikyo was instantly scared into a hurried retreat, finally escaping the room with a flustered expression.
"Phew~Finally sent that troublesome woman away."
Hikigaya let out a long sigh, yet in his heart, he felt a faint sense of loss and even developed a trace of regret.
If he had been a bit more forceful, would he have been able to take down Kushida Kikyo directly? With a beautiful face and an amazing body, the experience would surely have been great, right?
"Seriously, when did I become this kind of man who acts on lust?"
Hikigaya felt very annoyed. If it were the old him, he wouldn't have even dared to think about it!
As the saying goes: what you think of by day, you dream of by night. For him, it was the opposite: what he "did" at night caused ideological pollution!
Hikigaya threw himself face-down on the bed, smelling a faint fragrance in his breath. This was the spot where Kushida had just been lying...
"Calm down!
Don't associate!
That's just the hormonal scent of a high school girl..."
'Why does it feel like I'm getting even more excited?'
Hikigaya couldn't help but roll back and forth on the bed.
"Too shameful!
It's practically like being a pervert...
If anyone saw me like this, it would absolutely be social death!"
