Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Foul
Momozawa Airi looked at the water marks on Matsuda Jinpei's neck that she had left, and nodded slightly without leaving any trace.
After spending most of the day weaving between the snowballs that were raining down on her, she finally succeeded in launching a sneak attack on Matsuda Jinpei!
Although some small temptations were used and the rules were violated secretly.
…as long as we can win.
I hope Matsuda-senpai won't mind.
She has never lost in the field of games since she was a child, and she always can't help wanting to win over her opponents.
…But a foul is a foul.
Momozawa Airi reflected on her behavior and felt that it was not very upright.
She pursed her lips and silently withdrew her hand that was covering the other person's neck.
The moment the sudden excitement disappeared, the rest of the emotions flooded into her brain, which had just been paralyzed by victory.
She pondered for a moment and found her heart beating very fast.
“…”
Although she acted calm and composed, she was still very nervous about the cheek kiss.
Momozawa Airi recalled and felt that the touch of Matsuda Jinpei's cheek did not match his own characteristics.
It's soft and tastes great when you kiss it.
And Jinpei Matsuda himself looks... stiff?
Momozawa Airi licked the corner of her lips subconsciously.
A gust of cold wind blew by, awakening some of her rationality from the inexplicably dizzy state.
wrong.
Cheeks can't be hard.
What is she thinking...!
While marveling at the chaos of her own thoughts, Momozawa Airi finally realized clearly—
ah.
She actually just kissed Jinpei Matsuda.
…It’s Jinpei Matsuda.
So bold.
“…”
Momozawa Airi thought about it for a while, then slowly raised her eyes to look at Matsuda Jinpei.
Although he had already kissed her cheek and neck, Matsuda Jinpei didn't react for a long time.
He just stood there, head slightly lowered, staring at her silently.
The cold water slowly slid down and flowed into Jinpei Matsuda's coat along the line of his neck.
One drop.
Another drop.
Momozawa Airi looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and carefully reached out her hand to wipe the cold snow water off his neck.
...Matsuda-senpai isn't wearing a scarf and isn't wearing much either, so it's better not to tease him like that.
You will catch a cold.
The moment her fingertips were about to touch Matsuda Jinpei, the other party suddenly moved.
Jinpei Matsuda suddenly moved closer to her, raised his hands, and held both sides of her cheeks.
Momozawa Airi: “…Hmm!”
So cold.
Jinpei Matsuda had just made so many snowballs that the winter chill still lingered on his fingertips.
When cold fingers suddenly touched her warm cheek, Momozawa Airi couldn't help but let out a soft cry and lowered the hand that was reaching out to Matsuda Jinpei.
Almost at the same time, Matsuda Jinpei exerted a little force with his hand, and Momozawa Airi was forced to look up at him.
There was a hint of eager desire in Matsuda Jinpei's eyes, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.
His somewhat hot breath poured onto Momozawa Airi's face, forming a sharp contrast with the cold fingers pressed against her face.
...Ice and fire?
Momozawa Airi stared blankly at the face of Matsuda Jinpei who was so close to her, her mind going blank.
She subconsciously tried to shrink down, but her cheeks were held firmly by Matsuda Jin, leaving no possibility of escape.
“…”
Okay, I think I got carried away...
[…A little closer.]
Momozawa Airi stood there blankly, clutching the corners of her clothes with both hands, watching Matsuda Jinpei tilting his head slightly and getting closer and closer to her.
The aura of the other person gradually enveloped her.
...like a posture ready to kiss.
It was the first time that Momozawa Airi saw Jinpei Matsuda like this.
Jinpei Matsuda exudes aggression and possessiveness.
When you tease him, Matsuda Jinpei's ears sometimes turn slightly red, and he sometimes becomes speechless and choked, but most of the time he won't deliberately give off a dangerous sense of oppression, and he will even retort with a straight face.
...But now it's different.
The dangerous aura that had been lurking for a long time suddenly appeared beside her.
Don't look at me like that.
[That's really unfair.]
Matsuda Jinpei had gotten so close that his nose was almost touching hers. Momozawa Airi subconsciously closed her eyes and her body couldn't stop trembling slightly.
...Woo.
Senior Matsuda's fingers are so cold.
My heart is beating so fast.
The hot breath gradually grew larger in front of her and slowly intertwined with her somewhat rapid breathing, making it difficult to distinguish one from the other.
“…”
Time passed by little by little, but Momozawa Airi did not feel the soft touch she had expected.
She opened her eyes in a daze and found that Jinpei Matsuda had stopped where he was.
The distance between them was roughly the length of an index finger.
Matsuda Jinpei's fiery gaze still made her feel a little overwhelmed, but compared to the eagerness that had almost pounced on her just now, he now seemed...
Much calmer.
After a while, Matsuda Jinpei suddenly said without a word, "Relax during this time. I'll take you to the University of Tokyo for a good meal later."
"..." Momozawa Airi felt as if she had been drowned in his gaze, and as if bewitched, she continued blankly, "Senior, why didn't you tell me to study hard and make good use of my time during this period?"
"You will definitely pass the exam. You don't need me to remind you."
Jinpei Matsuda's fingertips gently stroked her cheek intentionally or unintentionally.
He quickly replied as a matter of course, his tone calm.
Matsuda Jinpei was too close to her, his breathing was so loud in front of her that Momozawa Airi almost thought there was no distance between her and him.
Like rubbing ears.
It was just about to touch the other person's forehead.
tip of the nose.
And lips.
"……ah."
Momozawa Airi's mind went blank, and she felt the slight chill on her cheeks gradually disappear.
I was getting hotter and hotter, and couldn't think straight.
Her face is hot.
Red.
[…I really want to continue bullying her.]
It took Airi Momozawa a long time to calm down before she felt her sanity slowly returning.
The other person's thoughts and actions simultaneously dominated her senses.
Matsuda-senpai...that's too unfair.
Just when she was about to retreat to a safe distance, Matsuda Jinpei suddenly nodded slightly.
And kissed her gently on the forehead.
The action was careful and restrained, a kiss as light as a dragonfly skimming the water.
Momozawa Airi: "???"
Momozawa Airi: "!!!"
Momozawa Airi: “@#$%&**@#$%……”
Momozawa Airi felt a buzzing sound in her head, and her whole body instantly felt like a kettle of boiling water, almost smoking.
My face is so hot.
The same goes for the ears.
...Everywhere.
Does she look like a tomato now...?
"Don't tire yourself out anymore, you hear me?"
Jinpei Matsuda leaned close to her ear and spoke in a fierce tone.
"Your hair tie and hairpin are in my pocket."
"Next time you go out with me, don't fall asleep again."
[…I want to occupy more of her time.]
The inexplicably strong voices overlapped, and Momozawa Airi felt as if she heard it clearly, but also as if she didn't.
But when she looked directly into Jinpei Matsuda's eyes, she felt that it didn't matter whether she could hear clearly or not.
Just look at him.
...It doesn't seem to be that cold today.
*
The moment all the exams were over, Momozawa Airi suddenly had a feeling of unreality.
...Is it all over?
She packed up her things and went home, reporting today's battle situation to her grandmother, sat down to eat the big meal her grandmother had carefully prepared, and rubbed her hungry and fat belly.
It was still early, but she couldn't think of anything else to do, so she took a nice hot bath.
Then he lay on the bed in a daze.
Then just... wait for the results.
There's nothing to worry about for now.
It seems that there is no need to continue advancing your career line in the short term.
“…”
She suddenly jumped up from the bed, stood up straight, and took the phone from the bedside table.
【Momozawa Airi: Senior, where are you now? 】
Jinpei Matsuda sent a location.
Momozawa Airi looked and saw that it was a children's park.
Momosawa Airi: "...?"
What is the senior doing alone in the children's park...?
You don't look like the type who would go to a children's park...?
She paused, didn't think about it any further, and quickly replied to a message.
[Momozawa Airi: Can you wait there for me? I'll be right there!]
Then, as if avoiding something, Momozawa Airi deliberately avoided looking at her phone, casually opened the closet and started choosing clothes.
What to wear? What to wear? What to wear?
She carefully chose for a while, put on a nice dress which was a little cold for the weather, and went out quickly.
"Grandma, I'm going out for a while——"
Momozawa Airi closed the door, checked the navigation, and found that the distance was a bit far.
She silently planned her route in her mind and ran straight into the tram station.
…
When Momozawa Airi arrived at the children's park, she easily spotted Matsuda Jinpei.
He sat casually at one end of the seesaw, surrounded by a group of children, and seemed to be fiddling with something.
Very conspicuous.
“…”
Momozawa Airi pursed her lips and subconsciously tightened the shoulder straps of her bag with both hands.
After a while, she seemed to have finally made up her mind. She took a deep breath and walked slowly but firmly towards Jinpei Matsuda.
As the distance between them decreased, the voices of Matsuda Jinpei and the children talking became clearer and clearer in her ears.
"Brother, can you really fix it?"
"Stop yelling at this brother! Didn't you see he just fixed Hanako's Kamen Rider and made it look like new—"
"Brother, brother, you are so awesome——"
"Brother is repairing this toy slower than the last one. Hey, brother is regressing!"
"...Huh? What are you talking about, little one? How could I possibly regress on something so simple?"
Jinpei Matsuda disassembled the Kamen Rider model in his hand without even looking up, speaking in a casual tone.
"I can fix it with my eyes closed."
"Brother is bragging!"
"Brother is bragging!"
"Brother is bragging!"
"Brother is bragging!"
There were voices of doubt coming one after another.
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
He tutted, his hands moving nimbly and skillfully without stopping, and his mouth kept saying, "Just watch carefully, I'll be able to—"
"I can prove that this brother is super awesome."
A familiar smiling voice suddenly sounded in front of me.
“……?”
Jinpei Matsuda quickly fixed the broken Kamen Rider model in his hand and raised his head while handing it to the excited child.
In front of me was the smiling Airi Momozawa.
"...You actually came?" Matsuda Jinpei blinked slowly, as if a little bit incredulous. "This place isn't close to your home, is it?"
Momozawa Airi tilted her head and answered as a matter of course, "I wanted to see you, so I came."
The sound of children cheering could be heard around me.
“Wow.”
"So straightforward—"
"Are my brother and sister a couple——"
"Sister, you are so beautiful! Will you wait until I come of age?"
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
He twitched his lips and flicked the forehead of the little boy who said the last sentence threateningly.
"What are you talking about? I won't help you fix your toys next time."
He spoke harshly but moved very gently.
The little boy chuckled and said, "Brother is a very good person. Even though he says no, his body is very honest. He will actually help me."
Matsuda Jinpei: “…………”
Momozawa Airi chuckled and added to the confusion: "I can prove that this brother is indeed like this - we are not a couple yet."
She deliberately dragged out her voice and called out "Onii-chan" while answering the other child's question very directly.
Matsuda Jinpei: “………………”
He waved his hand, signaling the children to go play by themselves: "Come on, come on, we're closed today."
"Goodbye, brother!"
"Happily ever after!"
"Is it a date?"
"Brother is so lame! We are not a couple! Then will sister be willing to wait for me——"
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
Matsuda Jinpei: “…………”
Seeing that Matsuda Jinpei was about to get angry, the children ran away.
The surroundings became quiet again.
Matsuda Jinpei sat lazily on the seesaw, looking at Momozawa Airi who was eager to sit on the other end of the seesaw. "Are you done with the exam?"
Momozawa Airi nodded: "Yeah."
She gestured to Matsuda Jinpei to hold back his strength: "Come and play, come and play."
"..." Matsuda Jinpei resigned himself to his fate and withdrew some of his strength. The seat opposite him slowly lowered a little. "Judging from your expression, he should be fine."
Momozawa Airi sat on the seesaw and signaled Matsuda Jinpei to push it down.
Jinpei Matsuda pressed down and looked at Momozawa Airi opposite him who was steadily hovering in the air. He grabbed the pole with his hands with a little curiosity.
Momozawa Airi held up her skirt to prevent exposure and swung her legs happily.
She wouldn't be afraid at this distance.
"Yeah, of course." She shook her head lightly, "I'll be able to be your real schoolmate soon."
Matsuda Jinpei restrained his strength just at the right moment, and Momozawa Airi on the opposite side slowly landed again.
"Senior, why are you here at the children's park?" Momozawa Airi stared at him seriously. "Do you usually come here to play on the seesaw and slide?"
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
He deliberately used a little force, and Momozawa Airi on the opposite side was shaken.
“…Ah!”
Momozawa Airi shuddered all over and looked at him angrily.
"Senior is a childish ghost, which fits in perfectly here."
Jinpei Matsuda easily controlled the seesaw and gently rocked her again.
Momozawa Airi: "..."
Momozawa Airi: "My dear Onii-chan, I just vouched for you in front of the kids and said you are very capable."
Matsuda Jinpei curled his lips and answered nonchalantly, "I sometimes pass by here when I go for a night run. I've met them a few times and helped them fix their toys a few times."
Airi Momozawa: "Oh, like this."
She pushed down hard, trying to lift Matsuda Jin up with her own weight.
Nothing happened.
"..." Momozawa Airi pouted as she accepted the reality and motioned for Matsuda Jinpei to continue.
After playing on the seesaw for a while, when Airi Momozawa was suspended in the air again, she suddenly said, "Senior."
Matsuda Jinpei raised an eyebrow and casually placed his hands on the handles: "Hmm?"
Momozawa Airi patted her skirt seriously and said, "Look at my skirt."
Matsuda Jinpei: “?”
His eyes quickly passed over where Momozawa Airi's hands were clapping: "...What for?"
The skirt covered her knees, revealing her slender and long calves.
Momozawa Airi hovered in the air, swinging her legs leisurely.
The hem of her skirt fluttered gently.
Jinpei Matsuda took only one glance and then looked away awkwardly.
…He would always think of what happened that night at the summer festival.
for example.
When applying the medicine, he easily put his hands around her ankles.
And the snow-white calves under the yukata.
“…”
Jinpei Matsuda cleared his throat pretending to be calm, stretching his legs casually.
Momozawa Airi didn't notice his thoughts and continued to ask, "Does it look good?"
Matsuda Jinpei: “???”
Without waiting for his answer, Momozawa Airi continued, "Do you like it?"
She once again didn't wait for Matsuda Jinpei's reply and asked without hesitation: "Do you still like me?"
"I like you very much, Senior."
"Senior, are you willing to officially date me?"
Matsuda Jinpei: “???”
He tilted his head slightly and looked at Momozawa Airi who was dangling in the air.
The weather is very good today. There are many stars in the night and the moon is very bright.
But he felt that Momozawa Airi was the most eye-catching person in the sky.
Matsuda Jinpei paused and heard his heartbeat suddenly quicken.
"If you keep teasing me this time, I won't let you go."
"I won't give you another chance to escape."
Momozawa Airi tilted her head, and her long hair on her shoulders slowly fell down.
She lowered her eyes to look at Matsuda Jinpei who was standing below, grabbed the handle in front of her with both hands, and gently leaned forward within a safe range.
"Matsuda-senpai, don't you want to put me down?"
"I'm planning to come down and kiss you."
"I'm going to fulfill the promise I made."
