A guide to survival in a heavy girl's world

Faced with Hoshino Ai's coquettish way of acting in the same way as seven years ago, Chihaya Tetsu also stretched out his hands and responded with a gentle hug as he did seven years ago.

"I missed you too, love."

"Yeah, I know! Zhe must be missing me too!"

Feeling the warmth that she had not felt for seven years, Hoshino Ai raised her head and smiled with great happiness.

"That nightgown says it all for me!"

The moment she touched the pajamas, she could already feel the thought that Zhe had put into the garment.

Whether it is the nostalgic star pattern or the towel cloth filled with memories of the two of them, it is enough to prove how much he cherishes and values ​​that past period.

"So when I received the costume, I immediately understood what Zhe was thinking when he made it."

"You must have misunderstood, right? You've forgotten the memories between us... but that's not the case!"

Hoshino Ai explained to Chihaya Tetsuya very seriously:

"The reason I became an idol was to be able to meet Zhe again! As for popularity or income, those things are meaningless to me. The only thing I want is you!"

"Don't worry...I know."

Chihaya Tetsuya reached out and gently stroked Hoshino Ai's soft long hair.

"Although I did misunderstand your thoughts at the beginning, Chuhua has told me all the truth since then. Now, I no longer have any misunderstandings about you."

"Really!"

An extremely dazzling light suddenly bloomed in Hoshino Ai's eyes.

"That is to say, Zhe doesn't think of me as a bad kid who likes to lie, nor does he hate me for that, right?"

"Throughout the entire process, I never had that thought."

Chihaya Tetsuya shook his head slightly.

"No matter what happens, I will never hate you."

“………………I’m so happy.”

Hoshino Ai buried her cheek in Chihaya Tetsuya's chest once again.

"This is the happiest day I've had in the past seven years... I'm really worried that you'll think I'm a bad kid who loves to lie, and I'm also afraid that you'll hate me from now on..."

Having said this, she suddenly loosened her arms and took a half step back shyly.

"But, since Chuhua has told you all that... then you should already know, right? I've been in love with Zhe since seven years ago. It's not out of family affection, but out of a love between opposite sexes. I want to be with you forever!"

"……kindness."

Chihaya Tetsuya nodded.

"Although it's a little late, I do know your true feelings for me."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, then asked:

"So... you want me to give you an answer now?"

"That won't work."

Hoshino Ai answered without hesitation:

"The current Zhe...will definitely not accept my confession."

Having said that, her eyes suddenly became a little empty.

"Because there are people around you who are interfering with your judgment."

“…You mean Aine?”

"It's not just her. That fellow named Toyokawa Shoko also has a lot of inappropriate thoughts about you. Even Chuhua has started doing unnecessary things recently..."

She reached out and stroked Chihaya Tetsuya's cheek.

"Zhe is still the same as he was seven years ago. He has no awareness of his words, actions, or charm... If it weren't for me, you might have been 'eaten' by other girls back in the orphanage."

"Even now, if I hadn't found you in time, you would have unknowingly lured Chihaya Aine and Toyokawa Shoko into becoming dangerous 'predators'..."

"Will not."

In response to Hoshino Ai's statement, Chihaya Tetsuya replied with great decisiveness:

"Toyokawa is my apprentice and a trusted companion. The relationship between us is not what you imagine. As for Aine, although we are not siblings in the true sense, we have established a bond that is no less than that of any siblings."

"I know that I love you and have always liked me, but that doesn't mean that other girls approach me with the same feelings."

“………………Huh?”

Looking at Chihaya Tetsuya's serious expression, Hoshino Ai's face suddenly showed a look of disbelief and astonishment.

"Zhe...are you serious? Do you really think...the two of them don't have any thoughts about you in that way?"

"...at least I don't feel that way at all."

Chihaya Tetsuya shook his head.

"I know you've been missing me for the past seven years, but this has also limited your vision. So—"

"Haha... Zhe is a genius when it comes to fashion, but in some areas he's even worse than a child."

Hoshino Ai couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"But none of this matters anymore. Since they haven't had time to make you realize this, then... I'll have to 'reluctantly' start this."

After saying that, she placed her hand directly on the waistband of her coat——

Chapter 73: Moonlight through the Night and Window

Although idols often have a series of "fan-welfare outfits" such as swimsuits and miniskirts that are full of temptation and visual impact, since the first day of Hoshino Ai's debut, the first thing the agency pays attention to when choosing clothes for her is the minimum exposure.

As for the reason——

This is to protect you.

When she took her first promotional photo, her manager, a former popular idol, said:

This body doesn't have any "talents" that can be used for fan service, but rather a "danger" that can bring disaster.

This is the judgment made by a veteran who is of the same sex and has been in the idol industry and entertainment industry for many years.

However, even with the double insurance of "purity" and "kingly idol", Hoshino Ai still has a magical charm.

At this moment, the body that was judged to be "dangerous" was completely exposed in front of Chihaya Tetsuya as the coat slipped off.

Her flawless jade-like skin seemed to emit a milky white fluorescence under the light, and the curves and body that had been hidden by clothes all along were now exuding a dangerous temptation to her beloved in front of her that made it difficult for him to look away.

Just like the deep night that gradually spread outside the window, that innocent face was now wearing a bewitching smile as it slowly approached Chihaya Tetsuya——

"Really? Zhe's reaction is way too calm..."

There was a hint of disappointment in Hoshino Ai's eyes that made people feel pity.

"I thought I could scare you a little."

“…Because I already felt it when I was at the live performance just now.”

Chihaya Tetsuya retreated towards the wall while trying hard to control his voice and tone.

"Although I don't have much experience with the opposite sex, I do understand the feel of skin and fabric."

"Hmm... If I had known, I wouldn't have hugged you so tightly just now."

Hoshino Ai shook her head regretfully.

"But fortunately, your body is not completely unresponsive, otherwise I would really lose confidence."

"…………"

As Hoshino Ai continued to approach, Chihaya Tetsuya felt her body temperature and heart rate rising uncontrollably. Hoshino Ai was not in a hurry, but continued to approach him at a slow pace. It was not until his back was against the wall and he showed a panicked expression for a moment that she finally couldn't help but laugh softly:

"What's wrong, Zhe? Why did you stop suddenly?"

“…Don’t ask questions when you already know the answer.”

Chihaya Tetsuya swallowed, as if trying to moisten his dry throat.

"As for you...if you've had enough fun...put your clothes back on."

"I don't want it."

Hoshino Ai smiled coquettishly, with no intention of stopping at all.

So soon, under Chihaya Tetsuya's increasingly shaken eyes, Hoshino Ai returned to the position she had always dreamed of -

"...Zhe, I'm a little cold."

She stood on tiptoe and whispered in Chihaya Tetsuya's ear:

"Can you hold me like you did seven years ago?"

"…………"

Although Chihaya Tetsu wanted to reply to her calmly like he did just now, the pair of hands that climbed up his back like snakes made his mind go blank in an instant.

What came with that incredible smoothness was not coldness at all, but a scorching heat that seemed to burn away his sanity.

The pressure from his chest and the deliberately tight belly made Chihaya Tetsuya finally realize that the situation he was facing was far beyond the ordinary "prank".

"…That's a bit too much, love."

Chihaya Tetsuya stretched out his hand, trying to push away the body in his arms that was slowly rubbing up and down.

However, as he continued to increase the strength of his arms, he suddenly realized something that shocked him greatly -

"I can't move..."

"I advise you not to underestimate the physical strength of active idols."

As Hoshino Ai spoke, she wrapped her arms around Chihaya Tetsuya's neck like a python strangling its prey.

"Besides... because he was worried that I would fall, Zhe didn't even bother to muster the strength to push me away, right?"

"…………"

Chihaya Tetsuya looked away.

If he really used all his strength, it would actually not be difficult to push Hoshino Ai away.

But... the fact is just as Hoshino Ai said, even though his situation is so "dangerous", he is reluctant to let Hoshino Ai get hurt because of his rudeness.

“…It’s because of places like this, Zhe.”

Faced with Chihaya Tetsuya's noncommittal attitude, Hoshino Ai shook her head.

"You're so gentle, so gentle that even when you're in danger, you still don't want to hurt others... If you keep going like this, even if it wasn't me, anyone else would definitely succeed easily."

In her opinion, if Chihaya Aine had taken the same action as her that night, Chihaya Tetsu would most likely have been like he is now, full of hesitation and tenderness, letting the other party do whatever she wants.

however--

"Nothing of the kind."

Finally, this misunderstanding from Hoshino Ai allowed Chihaya Tetsuya's consciousness to gradually free itself from the quagmire of desire.

After regaining consciousness for a moment, Chihaya Tetsuya immediately replied:

"I'm not that naive. If it weren't for you... I wouldn't be in such a difficult situation right now."

"……Eh?"

This unexpectedly frank answer made Hoshino Ai stunned.

"What does it mean?"

"Because I know how sincere and profound your feelings for me are, I'm worried...if I really reject you, will it cause you unbearable hurt and trauma?"

Under Hoshino Ai's astonished gaze, Chihaya Tetsu no longer tried to push her away, but just like he had just done, just like he had seven years ago, he once again gently hugged her.

"And after all, since I haven't even understood what 'liking' or 'being in love' actually are, I don't intend to make such a hasty judgment... love."

"Eh?"

"Your purpose should be to be with me forever, right?"

"…………kindness."
