Kissing My Student, It's Over if We're Caught-Chapter 1Volume 2 .9 - Takagami Yuzuka - Regrets in Life: Unrequited Love

“Gin, what’s with that strange noise?”

“…About that, I can’t be with you, but you can use this place until you find a job and a house… that’s what I’ve decided…”

“Really!? Is that okay!?”

Startled, Yuzu sits up abruptly to double-check.

“Technically, it’s not okay… But consider it my way of repaying you for yesterday’s conversation…”

Of course, I also feel a sense of obligation towards Kirihara, but if this can help alleviate the longstanding guilt I’ve felt, then so be it.

Besides, knowing Yuzu, once she seriously starts looking for a job, she’ll find one quickly. She won’t be staying for too long.

“Normally, I’m only home to sleep on weekdays. I have to get up early for my job as a high school teacher, so I go to bed early. Plus, from Friday night through Sunday night, I’m usually not here.”

“Where do you stay?”

“With a guy who lives nearby. He’s someone I got to know through online gaming, and it turns out we’re neighbors. I spend my weekends at his place, fully diving into gaming.”

Most of this is true, except for the part about “a guy friend.”

“Huh… Gin, you’ve become quite active…”

“You can do as you like when I’m not around. However, there are a few conditions. I don’t earn a high salary, so you’ll need to pay for the increased utility bills… I’ll waive the rent.”

“That’s quite a deal.”

“Right? …But, no baths until I’ve had mine on weekdays. Bath order: me first, then Yuzu.”

This proposal is based on the thought that it would be somewhat improper to soak in the same bathwater as another woman while being close to Kirihara…

“If I said it’s because cleaning the bath afterwards is a hassle?”

“…You remember well.”

I used to dislike cleaning the bath. Conveniently, I’ll pretend that hasn’t changed.

“I see. Well, as a lodger, I guess it’s fair I take care of cleaning the bath. Anything else?”

“Another thing… No repeats of yesterday’s bathroom incident. If it happens again…”

“…Will I be kicked out?”

“No, I’ll escape to a hotel again. But, you’ll be paying the lodging fees.”

“A fine?! Really?”

“Be thankful you’re not getting kicked out. Your sleeping area will be clearly separated. Once the lights are out, my territory is strictly off-limits. …That’s about it for now. I’ll add more conditions as I think of them. Any questions?”

“Yes, teacher. You seem adamant about not sleeping with me. Does that have to do with the reason you turned me down? …Do you actually have a girlfriend?”

“…”

Was I too blatant? Should I have just said, “I have a girlfriend”…?

But if Kirihara and I somehow end up parting ways because of a slip-up…

“I’m scared to give even a little information.”

“It’s not exactly that, but it’s somewhat related to why I can’t be with you. So, I can’t give details. …Please understand.”

“Hmm… Can’t you tell me?”

“Not really.”

…Because it’s Yuzu, I can’t tell her.

“Okay. Then I won’t ask anymore.”

I release a relieved sigh, hoping it goes unnoticed.

“But… you know, I kind of want to thank you?”

“…What do you mean by thank you?”

“I stopped hanging out with guys who aren’t my boyfriend once we started dating, but if it’s Gin, it’s different.”

Suddenly adopting a predatory expression, Yuzu licks her lips, wetting them with her tongue.

Her seductive gaze and gestures leave me feeling overwhelmed.

“It’s been a while since you had a girlfriend, right? …Why don’t we relieve some stress with a fun stuff? I want to feel the techniques I taught you again.”

“That’s why I said no.”

“Aw, why not? I even bought c*ndoms along with the delicious foods.”

“Too bad, but I don’t plan on using them with you.”

“Muuh…”

“Any other questions?”

“…Not really.”

“Then, let’s call it a day. …I’m tired, so I’m going to take a bath and sleep.”

Suppressing a yawn, I stand up to leave for the bath.

…Just as Yuzu and I cross paths, she suddenly grabs my hand and pulls me in.

Before I can ask, my fingertips are enveloped in an indescribable, slippery sensation.

“Nh…”

Yuzu takes my index and middle finger into her mouth, sucking and rolling her tongue around them.

Caught off guard by the familiar sensation, I involuntarily let out a “uah.”

Yuzu looks pleased with herself.

“Has it always made you react just by touching your fingers?”

She teases the tips of my fingers with her lips and tongue while caressing the back of my hand.

As I stiffen, Yuzu’s smile deepens.

“Embarrassed? …Cute.”

Freeing my fingers, Yuzu kisses my hand. She seems to be having too much fun.

“I don’t care what’s on your mind, but if we use protection, it’s fine, right? We’ll keep it a secret─”

“…That’s a fine.”

“Huh?”

“A fine! Pay up!”

“What!? Why are you surprised! Pay up now! Hurry!”

“Wait, wait, wait! I get it, I’ll stop! I’ll stop, so!!”

“It’s too late! If I show you even a bit of kindness, you immediately take advantage! What was all that sincere apology for? You don’t get it at all, do you!?”

“Sorry, sorry~!”

“Sorry isn’t enough! You’re incredibly unreasonable! Looking up my address with GPS without telling me, quitting your job without discussing it with me and then demanding to live here… What are you thinking, you idiot!? Do you even understand!?”

“Eek!”

I didn’t want to waste my energy, but I ended up lecturing her for quite some time.

Yuzu remained in seiza, repeatedly saying, “You’re right,” “I’m sorry,” “I have no excuse.” It seemed like it wasn’t sinking in, but maybe it was, or perhaps I went too far because she started sobbing in response.

“You don’t have to be so harsh! After all, I lost my virginity to you!”

…That’s completely unrelated, but I found myself at a loss for words and escaped to the bath.

Soaking in the tub, I think I spent the entire time with my head in my hands… Yuzu is really impossible.
