Inside the hotel room, the first round of intimacy had ended.
Yanami Anna curled up in Imaizumi Keita's arms like a cat, playing with his fingers.
The room was quiet, filled only with the sound of air blowing from the running Air Conditioner.
The intense, cathartic emotions from earlier had subsided, replaced by a tenderness they couldn't help but indulge in.
Half a minute later, Yanami Anna climbed out from Keita's embrace, propped herself up on her elbows, and looked down at Imaizumi Keita from above.
The dim light outlined her silhouette. A few strands of sweat-dampened black hair clung to her cheeks and neck. Her sparkling eyes were full of fervent, stubborn emotion.
"Keita..."
"Mhm?"
Imaizumi Keita looked at her, not moving.
"Don't you move..."
"Mhm?"
"Let me move..."
Yanami Anna completely disregarded Imaizumi Keita's reaction, doing what she wanted on her own, and couldn't help but mutter to herself.
"For trying to hook up with Lemon..."
"For wanting to have your cake and eat it too..."
"For having such a good body..."
Using reasons along those lines, Yanami Anna kept doling out punishments to Imaizumi Keita.
Imaizumi Keita couldn't help but start thinking: if Yanami Anna was truly a field that couldn't be plowed to exhaustion, would he then not want to play the field with multiple partners?
This thought existed for only an instant before he immediately shot it down.
He was a male incubus, after all...
Not some foolish, pure, virgin succubus...
He had no intention of following that kind of storyline...
Yanami Anna's stamina was no match for Imaizumi Keita's, and she soon surrendered of her own accord.
After everything settled into calm, only the sound of their intermingled, uneven breathing remained in the room.
Yanami Anna collapsed into his arms, completely defenseless.
Listening to Imaizumi Keita's steady, powerful heartbeat, her eyelids grew too heavy to lift again.
The unease and restlessness that had plagued her heart for so long also dissipated in this thoroughly satisfying experience.
The physical connection between their bodies, far more than any verbal promise, made her feel secure.
"Keita..."
She mumbled indistinctly, her voice thick with a nasal tone.
"Mm."
Imaizumi Keita held her warm, soft body, feeling the recent growth in her physique.
Mm...
She seemed to have gained a little weight again, but it also felt better in his hands...
"You're mine..."
"Mm, I'm yours."
Having received a firm affirmation, Yanami Anna, now satisfied, soon fell into even, steady breaths.
She had fallen asleep.
Imaizumi Keita lowered his head to look at the peaceful sleeping face of the girl in his arms, tightened his embrace to draw her closer, and also closed his eyes.
---
The next morning.
Imaizumi Keita slowly opened his eyes, his consciousness still somewhat foggy.
Instinctively, he tightened his arms, pulling the warm, soft body in his embrace even closer.
The scent belonging to Yanami Anna entered his nostrils, instantly filling him with a sense of peace.
After an unknown amount of time, Yanami Anna gradually woke up.
She opened her eyes blearily and greeted the Imaizumi Keita before her.
"...Keita?"
"Good morning, Anna-chan."
Imaizumi Keita lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.
"Mmm..."
Yanami Anna let out a contented hum.
She didn't sit up immediately, just wrapped her arms around his waist and nuzzled her cheek against his chest.
"...What time is it?"
"Still early." Imaizumi Keita glanced at the phone on the nightstand. "Just past eight."
"Oh..."
She responded and didn't say anything more, closing her eyes to enjoy the bliss of lazing in bed with her partner.
A little while later, Yanami Anna's stomach untimely let out a loud "gurgle."
"..."
The sound created a tiny crack in the previously warm atmosphere.
Yanami Anna's body stiffened instantly, her cheeks suddenly becoming frighteningly hot.
She buried her face even lower, trying to pretend nothing had just happened.
However, the vibrations coming from Imaizumi Keita's chest still betrayed his reaction to the sound of Yanami Anna's stomach.
"W-what are you laughing at!"
Blushing with shame and indignation, Yanami Anna lifted her head and gave his chest a light, not-so-light punch.
"I'm not laughing."
Imaizumi Keita struggled to hold back his laughter, his face wearing a serious expression that said, "I'm professionally trained, I won't laugh no matter how funny it is."
"You clearly are laughing!"
"I'm not."
"You are!"
Just as they seemed about to start another round of their usual bickering, Imaizumi Keita couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
He reached out and pinched her puffed-up cheek.
"Alright, alright, my bad." He sat up in bed. "Hungry, right? Let's get up, freshen up, and go out to get something to eat."
"Hmph."
Yanami Anna snorted but obediently let him pull her up from the bed.
As soon as her body left the warmth of the covers, memories of last night's frenzy flooded back, making her legs feel a little weak.
Especially the soreness emanating from her lower back made her suck in a sharp breath.
It's all this guy's fault for not knowing restraint!
While complaining indignantly in her heart, she supported herself on the edge of the bed and slowly stood up.
After a simple wash-up, the two changed back into yesterday's Yukatas.
When they stepped out of the inn, the sunlight outside had already grown somewhat dazzling.
The weekend shopping street was bustling with people.
"I want pancakes."
Yanami Anna, holding Imaizumi Keita's hand, pointed at a food shop not far away.
"After using up so much energy last night, I need to eat something sweet to replenish it now."
"Yes, yes, whatever you say."
Imaizumi Keita and Yanami Anna went over and ordered a strawberry pancake and two glasses of milk.
The pancake was soon served. Fluffy cake piled high with fresh strawberries and snow-white cream looked exceptionally tempting.
Yanami Anna picked up a fork, cut off a large piece of pancake dripping with cream and strawberry sauce, and brought it to Imaizumi Keita's mouth.
"Here, Keita, the first bite is for you."
Imaizumi Keita obediently opened his mouth and ate it. The delicious, sweet flavor melted in his mouth.
"Good, right?"
"Mm, not bad."
Only after receiving this affirmation did Yanami Anna, satisfied, start enjoying the remaining pancake.
After breakfast, the two didn't linger outside much longer and boarded the train back together.
The train car was somewhat crowded. Yanami Anna naturally rested her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes to rest.
Imaizumi Keita held her with one arm while using his other hand to scroll through news on his phone.
The train ran smoothly, the scenery outside the window speeding past.
Soon, the train arrived at the station near Yanami Anna's house.
"I'm here."
Yanami Anna lifted her head from him somewhat reluctantly.
"Mm."
Imaizumi Keita nodded, also standing up to accompany her off the train.
"Alright, Keita, you can see me off here."
"Got it. Mind your walking posture, go home and rest well."
"...Mm, stop saying that, I know."
Yanami Anna responded with a red face, stood on her tiptoes, and gave his lips a peck.
"You should hurry home too. Be careful on your way."
After saying that, she turned and walked quickly towards home. After a few steps, she turned back and waved.
"I'm off then! Keita, bye!"
"Bye."
Apologies, I went out to sightsee at some attractions today. After walking around, I felt completely wiped out, so the update is a bit late.
