I Accidentally Sent a Love Letter to the School's Most Prestigious Young Lady Instead of My Childhood Friend, and Now She's Bowing to Me, Asking, "Please Date Me—On the Premise of Marriage!" - 29

“I wanna do it…”

“……”

Third time’s the charm. That’s how it goes with Airi and me in the clubroom.

Airi was lying face down on the sofa with a manga in hand, while I sat at the end, sipping tea slowly. It was a leisurely time until those words came out.

I wasn’t going to ask her to repeat it and planned to ignore it, but Airi continued.

“Kiss.”

“Ah… A kiss?”

“Huh…? What did you think I meant?”

“Se… No, never mind. It’s good that you’re wholesome, being my little sister and all.”

I unintentionally let out a sigh of relief, and Airi latched onto that.

“Right! Then let’s do it!”

“Huh? No, we can’t. I made promises with Shion-san and Haru.”

“Come on, just a little. It’s fine if no one finds out.”

“Compared to people who start talking about se… well, I do think a kiss isn’t that big a deal, but…”

“Let’s just try it a little, something sneaky. The world might change.”

“But no. It’s not about whether we get caught or not. Betrayal is absolutely, definitely not allowed.”

“Tch.”

Airi clicked her tongue in disappointment and rolled over onto her back.

“I can see. Be careful.”

“Ah. I wanna see, the naughty stuff.”

Airi grinned mischievously and gave me a teasing look. I averted my eyes from her.

“I wanna see, but I won’t. If I really want to see, I’ll ask Haru.”

“… Will President Haru show me?”

Airi sat up, breathing heavily with an excited expression as she leaned in close.

“You might think it’s just panties, but it takes a lot of courage to show them. If someone says something like ‘What the heck?’ and acts disappointed, it’d crush my confidence.”

“If you bow your head and ask Haru, she’d probably… reluctantly show you. Like, showing her panties with a disgusted face… or something.”

“But you know. I think Shion-senpai would be way easier, like, ‘Please, master♡ Should I take them off?’ and totally get into it.”

“I agree with that too! You really get Shion-san, huh!”

“Right! I’m confident in understanding characters, even if I don’t look like it!”

Heh heh heh, Airi and I both laughed together with villainous grins.

Then, with that cheerful, grinning face, Airi suddenly made a proposal.

“So, I really want you to cheat with me, but emotionally, I feel indebted to President Haru and Shion-senpai.”

“Mhm, mhm.”

“And we made promises, and Yuu-nii seems pretty strict too, so I’ll give up on being a serious girlfriend for now. Instead, be my secret best friend or like, a tolerated bad friend, going beyond the boy-girl barrier.”

“Aren’t we already closer to friends than just senpai-kouhai or acquaintances? How is ‘bad friend’ different from now?”

“Let’s open up more and talk more! Like, confess things to each other, like if you did it with Haru-senpai or ended up doing it with Shion-senpai.”

“Huh? Me, telling you that stuff?”

“As a teenage girl, I’m interested in that kind of thing. Like how it felt, or if your feelings changed before and after doing it. Let’s have some dirty talk, like pillow talk at night!”

“……”

Airi stared at me with expectant eyes. After thinking for a while, I decided to compromise, figuring if it reduced one problem.

“Only if I feel like it.”

“Yay! I got a bad friend! Let’s flirt and talk dirty together! I’ve never had a close best friend at school, boy or girl, that I could really open up to, so I’m honestly happy!”

Airi thrust out her fist, and as we fist-bumped, I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking if it ended at this level, it was fine.
