Chapter 405. [Touching Fingertips Are Hot]

Ilyena was straddling me, pinning me down.

Her grip on my wrists tightened with a squeeze... and a soft "Nngh..." escaped my lips.

<Iroha-sama...>

"St-stop it! Ilyena-chan, you can’t touch my body anymore... s-so! If you touch me again, we’re totally done for real, okay!?"

<But Iroha-sama, as long as we’re sharing the same futon, it’s inevitable that we’ll touch at least a little, I think.>

"Th-that’s...! W-well, this is totally different, right!?"

<Muu... you’re so strict, desu ne. Then, please tell me—where exactly is safe to touch, deshou ka?>

As she said that, Ilyena lifted my wrists, forcing me into a "hands-up" pose. She then pinned both my hands above my head with just one of hers.

<No, just as I said... I’m only asking for guidance, desu yo. Just a little... asking Iroha-sama’s body, desu.>

<!?!?!?>

W-wait, what do you mean "asking my body"!?

I panicked and struggled with all my might, but my waist was firmly locked between her thighs... and my hands, despite being held down by just one of hers, didn’t budge an inch.

I realized—there was no escape.

As if to taunt me, she raised a single finger in front of my face.

<Now then, Iroha-sama... how about this, desu ka?>

Ilyena slowly traced her fingertip along my skin.

Even that faint touch sent a shiver—no, a weird, pleasurable sensation crawling up my spine...!?

<~~~~Ah, hngh!? N-no... st-stop that..!>

<But I’m only using one finger, desu yo. Isn’t that too strict, deshou ka?>

"Th-that’s... well... hyahn!? B-but still, no!"

<Is the location the issue, deshou ka? Then, how about here? Or here? Or here?>

"Ngh!? Hya... hngh!? N-nooo...!? Shoulders... nn, haah... neck, or... underarms, or thighs... all of those are... no good... nyah—oof!">

<Uun, then almost nothing is allowed, desu ka. Then, where is okay, I wonder? For examp—... say... your lips, desu ka?>

With that, Ilyena’s fingertip slid from my neck, over my jaw, and finally reached—my lips.

And then...... she gently brushed them.

<~~~~~!>

My face burned scorching hot.

I desperately turned my face away, escaping her touch.

"S-stop it... my lips... are... off-limits... Only someone really special can... touch them... So Ilyena-chan... you can’t... yet...!>

<...!? ...Tch...!>

"W-why’d you suddenly go quiet!?"

Ilyena was staring—with an intense, heated gaze—right at my... no, at my lips.

I was scared in every possible way.

Honestly... I didn’t hate the idea of her touching them.

But once we crossed that line... I felt like there’d be no stopping her.

"O-okay...! My hands! You can touch my hands! There... y-you can touch them as much as you want, Ilyena-chan!">

So, I made that offer instead.

Ilyena stayed silent for a while, as if wrestling with herself, before finally letting out a sigh.

<Phew... I almost lost control, desu. But understood. Hands are acceptable, desu ne?>

"...Y-yeah."

I gave a small nod.

Ilyena released my wrists, freeing me.

"O-okay... here, go ahead."

I hesitantly held out my hand to her.

Just doing that made me feel embarrassed.

Because it felt like...... a princess accepting a dance, or a bride about to have a ring slipped onto her finger.

Ilyena took my hand—and then...

<Ah, w-wait... nn, wh-why... hyaa!? Why are you—rubbing my whole hand like that!? N-no... interlacing fingers... squeezing... stooop...!>

<"You can touch my hands as much as you want"—that’s what Iroha-sama said, desu yo~? And we never agreed to just one finger, deshou.>

"Th-that’s true... but... nn, ah, hyah...!">

<Shall we spend the entire night like this, deshou ne?>

"...!? N-no way...! I-I won’t be able to sleep...!>

Ilyena was literally toying with my hand.

I trembled uncontrollably—until suddenly, she stopped.

<Naan te, just joking, desu.>

<...Huh?>

<Why the disappointment, desu ka? Did you... want more?>

"N-no way!?>

<But any further would affect tomorrow, desu kara. Kuh... if only tomorrow weren’t the main event. Iroha-sama... instead, may we sleep like this—holding hands?>

Ilyena stopped straddling me and rolled over to my side.

But her grip on my hand remained firm.

Hesitantly, I squeezed back.

Her hand was... warm.

<It’s okay, desu. Iroha-sama isn’t alone. We’ll always be together, desu.>

<...! ...Yeah.>

Earlier, my heart had been racing for very different reasons.

But now... it was slowly calming down.

Somehow, I felt... completely at ease.

Sleepiness crept over me...

<Iroha-sama... good night, desu.>

"Mm... good night, Ilyena-chan... everyone...">

Ilyena gently stroked my hair.

I surrendered to the sensation, slowly closing my eyes—

Click. The sound of a door opening.

Faint whispers followed.

"Hey, is Iroha asleep?"

<Hai, I believe so, desu.>

"Ahhh~, good... Iroha-chan didn’t seem to realize it, but she was really anxious earlier~"

"Glad she fell asleep fast."

<Sou desu ne. Not being able to sleep is the worst, desu kara.>

"Guess fooling around with us helped distract her, nee~"

"Yep!!!! Now Onee-chan can relax too—!!!!"

"““(Anego)(Onee-chan)(Nee-san) TOO LOUD!?””"

Um... I’m not fully asleep yet, you know.

And seriously, Aneki... you’re as extra as ever.

But hearing everyone’s voices just made me feel more at peace... and soon, I drifted off completely.

That night... I think I had a really good dream—

***

And then—at last, the morning of the big day arrived.
