Nimbling, caressing, tying, and sug.

  Karen had hought that she would bee a dirty girl who was obsessed with kissing.

  If her partner was her boyfriend or husband, this might not be a problem, but this person was someone who had trusted her and helped her as aor.

  More importantly, Ishigami had a girlfriend!

  Yet, even so, this kiss... she couldn't stop and wished to tinue.

  Like how the ardent love that existed between Shirogane and Kaguya in her fi, Karen could feel such a feeliween her and Ishigami even if she khat this was wrong.

  Yet, that rush of adrenaline disappeared, and Karen quickly realized what kind as she had done, especially when she just pressed forward to kiss him after she saw him look at her with such a gaze.

  Still, was he hugging her waist gently due to his real feelings, or was it due to an absp;

  As Karen was afraid to know the truth, she just didn't want to let him go, fag him, but she khat as they parted their lips and gazed at each other, she had to expin her sudden a.

  So—

  "...if Kaguya-sama fessed, then I thought she would do that."

  Karen decided to make a clumsy excuse.

  "....." Ishigami.

  Watg this expression of his, Karen wished to run away as far as possible!

  No, she should just book a ticket to Aska and run away!

  Still, when Karen thought to apologize, she ran away. The arms that hugged her waist tightened as she moved closer to his chest.

  "Sorry, it's my fault."

  "...why did you apologize, Ishigami-kun?" Karen looked at him in a fused and slightly agitated voibsp;

  "You are not as dull as others, and I am sure that you have realized that I didn't hate your advand just let myself be kissed by you. I should have been able to push you and stop this before all of this happened, but I let my desire take trol over me."

  "No! If someone was at fault, then it was me who couldn't trol myself..." Karen g to him tightly as she buried her fa his strong shoulder. "I shouldn't have said anything to you at that time..."

  If they remairangers without knowing each other after Ishigami took her manga, and she hadn't taken the initiative to ask him to bee her editor, would all of this have happened?

  As the two were together, their feelings grew slowly stronger, and in the end, something like that happened.

  "Really? I am gd that you asked me at that time."

  "...you don't appear as docile as you appear to be, Ishigami-kun."

  Karen looked up at him, staring at his gentle and calm expression. Her eyes were still red, yet her body was less tense and appeared rexed.

  "I am not."

  "I see that." Karen leaned on him in her most fortable position and said, "I tell that you must cheat on yirlfriend, a lot of them."

  "...."

  Did she really know it?

  Or did she just make a guess?

  It was just when Karen leaned on him, her eyes looking down, that she realized the stiffhat Ishigami had tried hard to hide.

  "...did you get hard?"

  "...sorry."

  "I-It's fine. I-It's normal, after all..."

  Karehat Ishigami was a man, so it was normal for him to get hard, especially when they had kissed each other so lewdly like that. Yet, she had to say it was—

  'It's huge...'

  "...don't touch it."

  "I won't!" Karen pouted and asked, "What do you think I am, Ishigami-kun?" Even if she had kissed him, she would have had on sense and wouldn't have touched his stiffness, but sidering how huge it was, even if she didn't touch it, somehow, she could tell that it would touch her when they were so close.

  Still, because of this, she uood that that huge and hard thing, which she felt before, wasn't his smartpho something else.

  "..."

  What do you wao think of you?

  Still, Ishigami uood why that gentle and yasashi harem protagonist would stop the girl and say, "Don't do something that will make yret it," when the girl was about to make a move on the protagonist.

  Unfortunately, he just accepted and ehe kiss, so he khat their retionship might develop further, but—

  'I really am a scumbag.'

  "...did yret it, Ishigami-kun?"

  Ishigami stopped his thoughts as he was startled by the suddeion thrown at him. Staring at the girl before him, who looked at him calmly yet couldn't hide the worry in her eyes, he said, "What am I regretting? I have a cute girl like you who took the initiative to kiss me like that. Instead, I think that you should regret giving your first kiss to a scumbag like me."

  Karen smiled and leaned on him again. "Yes, I regret it a lot."

  "...should we do it again, then? It is said that a minus times a minus will be a plus."

  "....."

  Karen eechless, w how Ishigami could e up with such a clusion.

  "This isn't a mathematical problem, but let's do it."

  As their lips touched against each other, Karen could feel her body shiver with a pleasaion that could be felt on her body. It felt wonderful despite h it was, but she knew well that, like Kaguya, she never regretted her decision to date Shirogane, even with a huge differen status ah between them.

  Even if Karehat this guy was a scumbag, who had been with many women, she didn't regret her decision to kiss him for the sed time.

  Yet, while she wished to be together for a little loheir time was limited as the school would end soon; while relut, the two parted away with Ishigami, who was still in a daze, realizing how lucky he was.

  Still, this was good, he thought.

  Love is like learning a nguage.

  The more one used to it, the better they were at it.

  More importantly, no one would teach him about love, whether it was at school or any pce, so all one could do was learn it by oneself sihe experiend teag of others were far more useful than one's practical experienbsp;

  Yet, he had to say, he had learned a lot from all of his experiences, so even if what he and Karen did at the school retty risque, no one was able to discover them, but if Karen's friends discovered them, then led into a situation when he would be all of Karen's friends, they might—

  'It's all fantasy, of course; such a thing won't happen, right?'

  A mao learn from his mistakes.

  Ishigami had been in many problems after being discovered by many, so he tried to fix his carelessness problem, which was quite successful, but he knew well that he had to stop sedug others at this moment.

  As he thought so, he decided to stop thinking of those problems since as he had made up his mind to be better and improve his power, he decided to visit the luxury brand shops in Ginza, such as Cartier and Omega, to buy a watch for himself and his father. After that, he went to visit a Hermes store to buy a bag for his mother befoing home and saying, "Dad, you help me buy a pany?"

  "....." Ishigami's Papa and Mama.

  The two were in silence, watg their son, who had given them luxury gifts for them.

  While they were happy, they had to say Ishigami's words stuhem silly, and if Ishigami wasn't a high school student, they would ask whether he was drunk, but as they looked at the amount of money in his at, they asked, "...did you rob a bank?"
