Chapter 1197: Unique and Weird

Before answering her, I pulled myself up and slid down to her side, unmounting her. However, instead of also loosening her legs that were still wrapped around me, the girl simply let herself be dragged on top of me. She fixed herself there before lying down on my chest, her head, close to my shoulder.         

    

I couldn’t help but shake my head at that and Mutsumi-senpai chuckled in satisfaction. She liked that reaction.     

Really, Mina’s description of her was so off. She’s not just weird, she’s another category entirely.     

But then again, I’m not that far off or I’m worse. Any sense of normalcy around me was already dragged down to the mud. Even if my desire got cured in the end, there’s no returning to becoming a normal person in this society.     

Anyway, giving up on plucking her off me, I just grabbed her waist and slid it to her back and pressed one of my hands on her head.     

“I understand what you’re trying to do, senpai. Or rather, I caught up on what type of character and personality you have. You’re the type who doesn’t like to take a loss. This is just my guess and you’re free to correct me if I’m wrong… Senpai, you planned to rattle me up with how daring and straightforward you are, hoping to get me wrapped around your fingers. You’re gauging the merit of the guy who Haruko kept on boasting to you.”     

I paused for a while to check on her reaction. And sure enough, she’s listening attentively and full of interest.     

“Oh? Go on. Let me hear more of your speculation. I’ll tell you if you’re right or wrong afterward.”     

“Sure… Senpai failed in doing so. While you took me by surprise with that kiss, you got hooked instead when I started responding to you. The thought of gauging me went off your head. Besides, your objective isn’t to see if I’m easily seduced. It’s the other way around. You’re trying to see if I can seduce you as well. Which, in this case, I was successful even without trying too hard.”     

As the girl started digesting word for word, her kinda cool expression gradually melted as the faint color of red grew deeper crimson. While she’s just turned on from what we did earlier, this was the sign of her being flustered.     

And most likely, it’s because I’m hitting everything perfectly.     

Well, I’m not done though. There’s more to it.     

Truthfully, getting this intimate with her allowed me to understand her better. The girl named Matsunaga Mutsumi was interesting, to say the least.     

Nonetheless, I was also aware that it might just be my personal bias towards her born from this situation.     

“In order to recover from the blunder of failing right away, you escalated it further by daringly saying how you wanted to experience it. Even giving information that will certainly make any boys excited. You’re ready to reject me if I jumped into that suggestion, right? Yet, you once again failed when I carried you and brought you here in this room. You gave in to me even if that’s all I did. Remember how you panicked and clung to me, trying to calm your racing heartbeat from the excitement? Truthfully, it’s making me wonder if senpai fell for me right away.”     

This time, it was my turn to chuckle which made the girl pout. She reached for my lips and clasped them close.     

“I must say you got most of it right. What’s next? How can you prove that I’m someone who doesn’t want to take a loss?”     

“It’s what happened after bringing you here, of course. There’s the moment when you’re panicking, senpai. I accidentally gave you the chance to recover. And so, you once again tried for the third time to test me. You’re ready to kick me yet when you picked out – let me use your words here – my famed ‘consideration’, your third failure was decided. You immediately tried to kiss me. And by then, there’s no stopping you anymore and we've reached this point.”     

I recounted everything. Our conversation might be off from all that I said but it’s what we’re not saying openly that allowed me to reach that conclusion.     

In the first place, she already admitted that even without meeting me, she was already keen on accepting our request to decorate the clubhouse.     

“Now that we stopped from going further, are you finally admitting defeat? Or will you try for the fourth time if I will seduce you? But let me tell you this first, senpai. I won’t actively do that. It will once again end in you getting swept off your feet. If that sounds like I’m boasting, I apologize.” After ending my words by closing my eyes and bowing slightly from this position, I relaxed my head and let myself sink into the soft pillow.     

I took my eyes off the girl and stared at the ceiling of this room.     

A minute soon passed but Mutsumi-senpai remained silent. She didn’t correct me at all. The girl slipped to contemplation.     

Whether she’s going to come up with a response or not, I don’t know. I only waited for her while also contemplating what I should do after this.     

No doubt, this situation created some kind of direct connection between us. She’s not just Haruko’s old girl anymore. She’s now Mutsumi-senpai in my eyes. A daring girl who cannot accept a loss even after failing three times and someone who easily fell in my lap. Like those additional heroines in harem anime, manga or novels that fall for the protagonist without any deep reason.     

Well, I don’t know how much she heard from Haruko. But judging from how she acted around me, it's probably enough for her not to act like Minori and Yuika-senpai or like Himeko, Mina and Edel before they fell for me. Furthermore, not only she heard it, but she also understood my character pretty well.         

    

“No. Not yet, Onoda. I won’t admit defeat – Or that’s what I want to say if I got another stubborn brain cell.” Mutsumi-senpai released a sigh as she now slid down from me. The same as me, she laid down on her back and stared at the ceiling.     

“You see. I came here fully prepared to see you trying your hardest to win me over. Not that I’m confident with my beauty, I just felt that I might also be afforded the same privilege to be courted by you had I not graduated earlier this year. Among the seven girls that surrounded Haru-chan, she confided in me the most. That’s why I feel like I’m already acquainted with you even before this meeting.” She started talking about herself. Even without looking in her direction, I could imagine her impish smile.     

“But meeting you and getting to talk to you, you’re more than what I heard. Onoda, no, Ruki… It’s fine to call you that, right? Anyhow, it’s fine if you see me as an easy girl. That’s what I turned out in your presence anyway. You don’t need to spend any effort to make me all giddy from excitement to be held by you. Maybe, even just your scent is enough to make me wet. Weird, no?”     

Mutsumi-senpai sighed once more and this time, she was clearly self-deprecating.     

Nonetheless, hearing what’s inside her head like this, it made me understand her more.     

“Weird might be an understatement. I’ll say you’re unique, senpai. But let’s see. Before all the change in me I used to look down on myself, you know? To hear all of that from you, I’m extremely flattered.”     

“Ah. That’s right. You were someone who was only driven by your desire. Yet, you still managed to change yourself. That’s admirable. On the other hand, I remained the same girl that Haru-chan found. I never changed, even until now. Well, if something’s changed, it’s that I found myself very attracted to you during our first meeting. I’ll apologize to Haru-chan and the others for jumping at you like this. And we better get up before I jump on you again. Leave the clubhouse to me, I’ll make it a place that you’ll all be comfortable with.”     

Upon saying that, Mutsumi-senpai pulled herself up, fixed her clothes and, like a spring, jumped off the bed.     

Without waiting for me to get up as well, she walked to the other door, the door connected to the Book Club, and exited from it.     

Seconds later, I heard Mina’s surprised voice followed by Mutsumi-senpai’s apology.     

Alright, I take that back. She’s unique but at the same time weird as well.
