Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Pounce
Jinpei Matsuda prides himself on being a man with nimble fingers.
He has loved tinkering with things around the house since he was a child, and he has dismantled all kinds of sophisticated household appliances.
He also liked to tinker with cars at Kenji Hagiwara's garage.
Later, disassembling ordinary equipment could no longer satisfy him.
Jinpei Matsuda began researching bombs.
He had been praised for his nimble fingers growing up.
The fast-moving fingertips when playing with the phone or sending messages often attract people's attention and earn a sincere comment, "Matsuda, your fingers are very flexible."
But this was the first time he was praised by someone for a very strange reason——
If you have flexible fingers, you can play music games.
“…”
Matsuda Jinpei lowered his eyes and looked at the line of fancy words that appeared on the tablet in front of him -
"Congratulations☆[The lovely and charming villain Riri-chan] for her promotion."
【★Your hand speed surpasses 99.99% of players★】
Congratulations on achieving the "Number One Finger Dexterity - Very Useful" achievement.
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
What a fancy online name.
He put down the tablet in silence, leaned back on the sofa and looked around casually.
There weren't many things in the small apartment, and it was kept neatly organized.
A soft doll on the sofa, a vase with several flowers on the dining table, a pink schedule board on the refrigerator...
All of this was telling Matsuda Jinpei in unison—
He entered Momozawa Airi's private area.
Airi Momozawa's house is much larger than this almost completely unobstructed apartment.
Besides, the last time I went to Momozawa Airi's house, he basically stayed in public places like the living room and kitchen.
Therefore, he did not have such a strong feeling at that time.
This... obvious sense of invasion.
A faint scent of lemon incense lingered at the tip of Matsuda Jinpei's nose, bringing his somewhat absent-minded thoughts back to reality.
...He just stayed here for dinner.
Yes, dinner.
“…”
Matsuda Jinping stood up straight.
Speaking of which, where's that person who was just yelling about showing him off? Why is he silent?
Matsuda Jinpei calmed himself by raising his hand to tidy up his hair, then slowly stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
What came into view was the back of Momozawa Airi.
Her long hair was casually tied behind her head with a large clip, with a few strands of hair falling down playfully, swaying gently at the side of her neck as Momozawa Airi moved.
She was wearing a pink apron with the straps tied loosely at the back of her waist, looking like it might come undone at any moment.
Jinpei Matsuda's gaze lingered on the bow tie behind her waist for a moment, then moved to the table.
Nothing happened.
All the ingredients are kept in the basket in their original state without any signs of processing.
And Momozawa Airi was burying her head, studying something seriously.
From time to time, he made a thoughtful sound.
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
How long had she been in there? Half an hour?
After taking a quick look at the ingredients, Jinpei Matsuda couldn't find any other options besides "eating salad tonight."
He paused, walked over quietly, and pulled the bow tie around Momozawa Airi's waist.
"At this rate, we'll just have to have a midnight snack tonight."
Jinpei Matsuda quickly glanced at the straps scattered around Momozawa Airi's side and raised his voice to complain.
Momozawa Airi didn't notice his little movement behind her. She looked up and looked at him seriously. "I'm still studying the recipe. Senior, you can eat soon."
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
Wait a billion.
After getting closer, Matsuda Jinpei realized that Momozawa Airi was concentrating on looking at the recipe on her mobile phone.
"...So you don't know how to do it?"
Jinpei Matsuda glanced at Momozawa Airi, who was scratching her head silently, and said something.
Momozawa Airi argued: "...It's not that I can't!"
After a while, she pursed her lips and said in a weaker tone: "It's just that you need to read the recipe and tutorial before you can make it."
When she was in the cooking club, with the help of senior students and classmates, Momozawa Airi only needed to complete the key steps.
For example, cooking in a pot.
When she cooked by herself, she realized how much work it took to prepare a meal.
...At least it takes a long time for a novice! The hand she wanted to show Matsuda Jinpei hadn't yet fully developed!
Matsuda Jinpei nodded and calmly commented, "That means no."
Momozawa Airi curled her lips and glared at him: "..."
After a while, she compromised: "Not really."
Matsuda Jinpei had an "I saw that a long time ago" expression on his face: "What have you been eating recently besides gatherings and meals?"
Momozawa Airi blinked, feeling that the other party's tone seemed a little subtle: "Takeout."
After she finished speaking, she felt a little guilty.
I decided to be an independent and mature college student on the first day I moved out... but ended up eating takeout every day.
Momozawa Airi suddenly felt that the look in Matsuda Jinpei's eyes when he looked at her contained a hint of disappointment.
She decided to prove her strength, so she quickly cracked an egg and started beating it with a whisk.
Momozawa Airi was stirring the egg liquid while turning sideways. Just as she was about to say something else, she suddenly noticed the straps hanging down at her side.
"Huh?"
She looked at Matsuda Jinpei blankly, pouting and saying, "When did they disperse?"
I didn't feel it at all.
Matsuda Jinpei looked in the direction she pointed as if nothing had happened: "I don't know."
With just a few words, he cleared himself of all blame.
Momozawa Airi looked at the egg liquid on her hands in embarrassment.
She had just heard that Jinpei Matsuda was coming, so she changed into her newly bought little black dress.
The knot at the waist...it's easy to get things on your hands on the skirt.
She decisively asked for help: "Can you help me tie it?"
Following the principle of flattering someone before asking for help, Momozawa Airi immediately praised him profusely: "Senior, your fingers are so flexible, you can definitely tie a bow as beautiful as the ones in the gift shop!"
"..." Matsuda Jinpei paused suspiciously, then slowly raised his hand, motioning for Momozawa Airi to turn around, "Then I'll help you this time."
Momozawa Airi: “Yeah.”
She turned around and stared at the bowl of egg liquid on the cutting board.
…Let’s make omurice. It seems quick and easy.
Just as Momozawa Airi was thinking quickly about how to make omelet rice, she felt a gentle tug on her waist.
The two straps of the apron were once again wrapped around her waist. Under the guidance of Jinpei Matsuda's movements, the straps moved gently around her waist and slowly tightened.
Matsuda Jinpei seemed to be standing right behind her with his head down, his hot breath from not too far away gently tickling the back of her exposed neck.
Momozawa Airi shrank her neck somewhat unnaturally, and felt that her movements seemed a little helpless, so she slowly tried to relax.
The room was filled with the scent of lemon incense.
But as Jinpei Matsuda approached, a faint mint scent lingered around Momozawa Airi and slowly enveloped her from behind.
There's an inexplicable feeling of silent strength.
Too close.
Momozawa Airi suddenly felt like her private space was being invaded.
She stared at the cutting board, trying not to be so nervous.
To no avail.
It seemed like she hadn't been so close to Jinpei Matsuda for a long time, and she was even a little uncomfortable with his aura.
“…”
Momozawa Airi suddenly felt that she had caught some details.
Busy.
No time.
Dinner party.
Society.
…
Momozawa Airi: "...!"
So, Senior Matsuda is unhappy about this!
Ignored... or something.
She quickly reviewed her daily life after entering school and found that she seemed to have ignored the other person.
Although she has never been in a relationship, if the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend is replaced by good friends... she will also be very unhappy if she is ignored by her good friends.
Momozawa Airi put herself in Matsuda Jinpei's shoes and thought about the role she had experienced during this period, and pondered it for a while.
She felt sorry at first.
But after thinking about this apology for a long time, I felt a sense of inexplicable joy.
Momozawa Airi licked the corner of her lips, feeling that she shouldn't be secretly happy, but she couldn't help it.
...She felt that she was needed by Jinpei Matsuda.
Momozawa Airi pondered silently for a while and felt even happier.
...It's really wrong for her to do this!
This can't go on any longer!
“…”
Well, I'm still happy.
…
Immersed in her tangled thoughts, Momozawa Airi didn't even hear the sound coming from behind her.
She subconsciously shuddered when the straps around her waist suddenly tightened a little.
"Tsk, where have you been daydreaming again? You don't even answer my questions."
Matsuda Jinpei's slightly unhappy voice sounded behind her.
Momozawa Airi came back to her senses: "Ah... I didn't hear it, sorry."
Matsuda Jinpei muttered something under his breath. Momozawa Airi didn't quite hear it, but she thought it was something like "What are you thinking about, idiot?"
So she decided to take a gamble and tried to guess the answer as if she were taking a test: "I'm thinking of you."
There was silence behind him.
There was a moment of panic in the steady breathing.
Momozawa Airi blinked, thinking she had guessed the right answer.
She heard the somewhat unnatural voice of Jinpei Matsuda ringing in her ear.
...Hey, moved?
“…Is this okay?”
"It's a bit loose."
"……so?"
"It's still a little loose."
The two straps suddenly tightened a little, gently squeezing the flesh on her waist.
Momozawa Airi gave honest feedback: "I think it's a little tight now...it just needs to be loosened a little bit."
After a long while, the force on the waist did not ease.
"...Matsuda-senpai?"
Momozawa Airi was a little confused.
She wanted to turn her head to look, but the sound of breathing so close to her stopped her.
...too close.
Yes, you will kiss me, right?
Momozawa Airi thought about it and gently twisted her waist to indicate.
"Here, it's tight."
…
Jinpei Matsuda lowered his eyes and looked at the bow in front of him.
The straps on the side of the waist turn the other person's loose black skirt into a waist-hugging style, highlighting the slender waistline.
Momozawa Airi lowered her head, revealing her snow-white neck to him defenselessly.
The fine strands of hair hung down on the side of her neck, swaying gently.
The other party reminded him again and shook his waist gently.
The bow swayed gently with her movements.
“…Yeah, I heard it.”
Jinpei Matsuda raised his hand and loosened the straps slightly, adjusting the tightness.
After making the adjustments, he slowly and methodically tied an exquisite bow for the other person again.
After watching the bow slowly take shape, Jinpei Matsuda placed his fingers on the bow.
Not let go.
"Alright, alright."
Momozawa Airi was completely unaware of the heavy gaze behind her and continued stirring the egg liquid.
"Then I'll get on with it! Let's have omurice today!"
“…”
Jinpei Matsuda looked at Momozawa Airi who happily continued to beat the eggs, and finally let go of his hand that was on the bow.
…just came for dinner.
He took a step forward and stood beside Momozawa Airi, picked up the ham, and said calmly: "Let's go together."
Momozawa Airi was surprised: "Huh? You can cook too?"
Matsuda Jinpei said confidently: "Almost the same as you."
Momozawa Airi: "..."
So they began to slowly work on the recipe.
Prepare the ingredients slowly.
Cook slowly following the tutorial video.
…
Sitting down at the dining table with a fragrant omelet rice, and looking at Jinpei Matsuda sitting next to her, Momozawa Airi suddenly had a strange thought in her mind.
...There's a feeling of living with the other person.
Cooking together, eating together, etc.
Momozawa Airi: "..."
She shook her head, trying to clear her mind of all thoughts.
Matsuda Jinpei looked at Momozawa Airi, who suddenly started shaking her head like a rattle, with a puzzled look on his face: "...Is it really that bad?"
Momozawa Airi shuddered: "No, no!!"
As if to prove that the meal was delicious, she hurriedly lowered her head and took a big bite.
...It’s not terrible, but it’s not particularly delicious either.
There is a lot of room for improvement.
With a guilty conscience, Airi Momozawa ate several mouthfuls of omelet rice, and the embarrassment in her heart was gradually suppressed by reality.
She suddenly sighed heavily.
Matsuda Jinpei: “?”
Momozawa Airi calmly analyzed: "With our cooking skills, if we get married in the future, we might have to eat takeout every day."
Matsuda Jinpei: “???”
Before he could even begin to process the subtleties in her words, Airi Momozawa propped her chin up and sighed, "I have a neighbor who cooks delicious meals and is a very homely type."
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
Momozawa Airi paused and looked at Matsuda Jinpei with a determined look: "Let's learn cooking from him in the future!"
If you get married this way, you won’t have to eat takeout every day!
Eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, Airi Momozawa: =v=
Matsuda Jinpei showed his half-moon eyes: "..."
He scooped up a spoonful of rice and stuffed it into Momozawa Airi's mouth.
"Eat yours."
Jinpei Matsuda looked at Momozawa Airi, whose cheeks were puffed up, and responded coldly.
…
After finishing the meal, Momozawa Airi ran away with the dishes, saying, "How can I let the guests wash the dishes?" and washed them quickly.
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
The faucet had been repaired long ago.
The meal is over.
The dishes are done.
Even had ice cream for dessert.
I also used mouthwash after meals.
Momozawa Airi, who suddenly had nothing to do, said: "..."
Without those distractions, Momozawa Airi finally realized this reality—
She lived in this small apartment with Jinpei Matsuda.
A single man and a single woman.
Momozawa Airi swallowed silently and looked at Matsuda Jinpei who was leaning on the sofa.
The thought that had just occurred to her in the kitchen came back to her mind.
...Ignoring the other party.
She suddenly stood up and rushed to the sofa.
"Matsuda-senpai—"
Momozawa Airi originally wanted to rush to the sofa and sit down suddenly, but she ran too fast and didn't have time to retract her legs.
It hit the edge of the sofa.
Pah.
She threw herself on the seated Jinpei Matsuda.
Face to face.
For some reason, they ended up in a position where they were sitting astride each other.
Momozawa Airi: "..."
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
Momozawa Airi looked down at the handsome face so close to her that rarely revealed a confused look, and subconsciously swallowed again.
【ha? ? ? 】
…It seems that Mr. Matsuda was indeed shocked.
The faint minty scent of the other person filled the air in front of her, and she could almost touch his lips by just lowering her head slightly.
Momozawa Airi completely forgot what she wanted to say.
She seemed to be bewitched and slowly moved closer.
Then he took the initiative to kiss Jinpei Matsuda.
She couldn't learn Matsuda Jinpei's reckless approach, and just kissed him stickyly.
Like a naughty cat, it teases and hooks the other party, and when the other party is fooled and wants to catch up, it runs away.
Matsuda Jinpei seemed to be muttering something in his heart, but Momozawa Airi didn't pay attention.
She concentrated on teasing the other person.
Jinpei Matsuda let her tease him without any reaction.
As they were kissing, Momozawa Airi felt a little unhappy because she didn't get any response.
...Has this been how Matsuda-senpai has felt for the past month?
She raised her head slightly, trying to break the kiss.
Suddenly, Jinpei Matsuda grabbed the back of his head.
In a moment, the hairpin she used was taken off by Jinpei Matsuda and put aside.
Long hair is scattered.
Momozawa Airi: "?"
She originally thought that throwing herself on top of the other person would allow her to take the initiative.
Only at this moment did she realize that although she seemed to be in a superior position, in fact, the one who could most easily control the situation was the other party.
He simply raised his hand and held her head, so she could only lower her head and could not escape.
The hooking and teasing moves slowly melted away under the opponent's powerful attack.
The cat couldn't stand up to the opponent's rampage and was caught.
Momozawa Airi felt that Matsuda Jinpei's other hand seemed to be on her apron strap.
Her fingertips hooked a corner of the bow and gently made circles.
But until the kiss ended, the hand did not make any other movements.
This time the kiss lasted longer than ever.
The taste is also very special.
It has a sweet white peach flavor.
The taste of mouthwash.
...She was also bitten several times on the lips by Jinpei Matsuda in retaliation.
When they separated, Momozawa Airi's eyes were a little hazy, as if filled with mist.
Her face was flushed, she closed her eyes, and rested her forehead gently against Jinpei Matsuda's forehead, breathing in small breaths.
...I can hardly breathe.
"...Zhen Ping."
Momozawa Airi didn't call him senior.
"Starting tomorrow, when we don't have anything else important to do, let's have dinner together, okay?"
[…Heh.]
Momozawa Airi: "..."
So hard to coax.
“…”
Matsuda Jinpei didn't respond. The hand behind her head moved, playing with her long hair from time to time.
Use your fingertips to wrap, circle, and caress.
【That's it?】
Momozawa Airi opened her eyes, lowered her head a little more, and rubbed her cheek against Matsuda Jinpei's cheek.
"...I'm sorry for neglecting you during this period."
She rubbed back and forth several times, then put her arms around Matsuda Jinpei's neck and buried her head in his shoulder.
"Let's go on a date this weekend."
Then he began to rub Matsuda Jinpei's shoulder with his chin.
"You can go anywhere with me and do anything with me."
Momozawa Airi leaned her cheek against his shoulder and suggested quietly.
"We can go to the amusement park, go shopping, buy delicious food, or anything else."
Kissing many times or something... is also OK...
Matsuda Jinpei suddenly picked her up easily and moved her to the side mercilessly.
Momosawa Airi: "...?"
She felt her body lighten, and in the blink of an eye she was sitting shoulder to shoulder with Matsuda Jin.
I couldn't hear the other person's inner murmurs anymore.
Momozawa Airi: "???"
Wasn't he fine just now? Why are you throwing a tantrum again?
She looked at Jinpei Matsuda with a confused look on her face.
Jinpei Matsuda turned his face away, looking a little unnatural.
... doesn't seem like he's throwing a tantrum?
Momozawa Airi became increasingly bewildered.
After a while, Matsuda Jinpei said slowly: "I don't care."
Momozawa Airi: "..."
Haha, man.
Matsuda Jinpei paused and continued, "You said so."
Momozawa Airi nodded vigorously: "Yeah."
She began to imagine where she would go for the weekend.
Matsuda Jinpei: "Then come with me to the tool store."
Momozawa Airi: "?"
Matsuda Jinpei turned around and raised an eyebrow: "I haven't used my last chance to punish you yet."
Momozawa Airi continued to be confused: "?"
It took her a long time to remember this.
Momozawa Airi: "…………"
I actually haven’t forgotten…!
Matsuda Jinpei Ryoryo said, "From today on, when you talk to me, you have to call me by your game name."
"A week."
Momozawa Airi looked at him blankly: "Huh?"
Matsuda Jinpei leaned lazily against the sofa cushions: "Do you need me to remind you?"
Momozawa Airi recalled rapidly in her mind.
Game name, game name, game name...
……etc! !
She looked at Matsuda Jinpei with a look of horror, and Matsuda Jinpei reminded her leisurely, "The cute and charming villain Riri-chan."
Each word is pronounced with emphasis.
Slow and leisurely.
Momozawa Airi: "..."
Momozawa Airi: "…………"
She had never been so ashamed.
*
When seeing off Jinpei Matsuda, Airi Momozawa had a complicated expression on her face.
Going on a date to a tool store.
Momozawa Airi: "."
The more I think about it, the more outrageous it seems.
When Matsuda Jinpei stood at the door, his movements paused, as if he wanted to turn around and say something.
But in the end, he didn't say it, but raised his hand to pinch Momozawa Airi's face.
"Let's go. Be careful on your own."
【That makes sense.】
The flesh on Airi Momozawa's face was pinched by the other party, and her words were a little vague: "I know."
...What's the reason?
Matsuda Jinpei raised his eyebrows: "Who knows?"
Momozawa Airi: "..."
She struggled to look at the other person.
Jinpei Matsuda had an expression that said, "I'll wait for you to finish speaking before I leave."
Momozawa Airi: "..."
She gritted her teeth and said, "Cute and charming... villain Li Li-chan... got it."
Matsuda Jinpei obviously heard it: "Speak louder, I can't hear you."
Momozawa Airi: "..."
She held it in for a long time before finally saying, "The lovely and charming villain Li Lijiang knows."
Jinpei Matsuda is gone.
The word "satisfaction" seems to be written on their backs.
Momozawa Airi closed the door with a haggard look on her face and returned to the house.
She tidied up the room and was about to take a shower, but she found Jinpei Matsuda's coat.
Momozawa Airi: "?"
She thought about it and remembered that the man took off his coat before fixing the faucet.
...Forgot to take it?
“…”
Momozawa Airi wanted to catch up and give it to him, but inexplicably stopped.
She took out her cell phone.
[Momozawa Airi: Hum, I've kidnapped your coat.]
[Momozawa Airi: [coat.jpg]]
[Momozawa Airi: If you want to redeem yourself, then exchange it for the chance to be punished! Take back your shameful punishment!]
Jinpei Matsuda responded almost instantly.
[Matsuda Jinpei: I'll come back to redeem you next time]
【Matsuda Jinpei: No rush】
Momozawa Airi: "..."
She had just said a few random words and had no intention of keeping the other person's coat.
...Hiding someone else's clothes sounds a bit perverted.
Momozawa Airi was about to reply with something like "I can bring it to you tomorrow" when a subtle feeling suddenly came over her.
Looking at the sentence "Come again next time", she slowly deleted the words she had just typed and replied with a new sentence.
【Momozawa Airi: Okay =v=】
Come again next time.
She felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart.
Just then, Jinpei Matsuda sent another message.
Jinpei Matsuda: [The Positioning of Tool Shops]
Momozawa Airi: "..."
