Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Arrest
Momozawa Airi closed her legs and placed her hands on her knees, suddenly feeling how hot it was today.
“…”
It was clear that I felt the lakeside was very cool not long ago.
Her thoughts were changing rapidly. Momozawa Airi pursed her lips, a little regretting renting this duck boat where they could sit face to face.
If I had known earlier, I would have chosen the swan boat with people sitting side by side.
When facing each other, all expressions and changes in movements are within the other person's sight and cannot be concealed.
Even though they had been more intimate before, she felt out of place just because she hadn't seen Jinpei Matsuda for a while.
Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Matsuda Jinpei leaned forward and stared at her. "Are you not convinced?"
The boat is not big and is a bit cramped even for two people.
It is inevitable that there will be some physical contact from time to time.
As Matsuda Jinpei leaned forward, their knees rubbed against each other involuntarily.
Feeling the not-so-fine fabric slowly caressing her skin, Momozawa Airi's heart suddenly tightened.
A rough and tingling sensation seemed to spread slowly from that small piece of skin to her entire body.
Momozawa Airi instinctively moved her legs to the side, putting a considerable distance between herself and Matsuda Jinpei.
After she finished moving, she seemed to realize that her behavior seemed a bit strange, and she said something blandly, "...you hurt me."
Suddenly a big pot was thrown out.
"...But I'm willing to accept the loss." Momozawa Airi thought for a moment and added calmly.
The cauldron landed on Matsuda Jinpei's head with a bang.
Makes a buzzing sound.
Matsuda Jinpei: “?”
“…I didn’t use any strength?”
Matsuda Jinpei blinked slowly, raised his hand to stroke his forehead, and seemed a little confused by what she said.
He was about to continue explaining, but then he remembered how Airi Momozawa would blush for a long time after being pinched lightly, so he swallowed his words silently.
……All right.
It's not impossible.
In this regard... he does have some unspeakable criminal record.
Moreover, he had been playing and fighting with a group of his classmates who were as fierce as gorillas every day recently, so maybe... he had lost control of his strength without realizing it.
Matsuda Jinpei paused a little guiltily, coughed awkwardly, and suddenly raised his hand to support the inside of her knee.
"Ahem, sorry."
Momozawa Airi: “…Huh??”
Before she could react, she suddenly felt her legs lifted up, keeping them bent until her knees were level with Matsuda Jinpei's abdomen.
The other party seemed to be carrying sugarcane.
Momozawa Airi: "??"
Ignoring her exclamation, Matsuda Jinpei leaned closer intently, "...It's not red?"
【？ 】
Matsuda Jinpei looked at it for a moment, until he felt the leg supported in his palm seemed to tremble slightly, then he looked up in confusion.
Momozawa Airi had a frustrated expression on her face, as if asking, "What are you doing, what are you doing, what are you doing, what are you doing?", and her pupils were dizzy.
Her face was flushed and her eyes were full of accusations.
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
He was startled, then he realized that his behavior was a little too natural.
The bony hands easily supported the slender white legs, with soft flesh overflowing from between the fingers.
The atmosphere froze.
With a snap.
Matsuda's tactics were relaxed.
Momozawa Airi suddenly retracted her legs, sat up straight, and moved a little distance away.
The boat continued to drift slowly on the lake.
*
I don’t know how long it took, but it started to drizzle.
Momozawa Airi declared, "I have enough strength to get the boat to the shore safely, Jinpei, you just stay aside," and pedaled slowly, feeling her legs ache.
...Jinpei Matsuda was able to pedal for so long right after training, so impressive.
She complained in her heart for a while and felt that the police academy was really a good training ground.
The rain didn't stop for a long time.
Momozawa Airi, who didn't bring an umbrella, sat in the duck boat, hesitantly watching the ripples caused by the raindrops dripping on the lake.
"...I just washed my hair yesterday, but it was all wasted in the rain."
She took the opportunity to stop pedaling, looked up at the sky melancholy for a while, and gently stroked the ends of her hair with her fingers.
"At this speed, the rain will surely stop by the time we reach the shore."
Matsuda Jinpei leaned leisurely on the railing and complained, his eyes glancing over her legs that were loosely resting on the step.
"Tired? Let me do it?"
"..." Momozawa Airi stepped on the pedal again and refused righteously, "No, I can do it."
The duck boat moved slowly across the lake again.
"...While you were at the police academy, I also diligently practiced physical exercise to improve my overall development." She nodded and explained logically, "My endurance is not inferior to yours."
She walks the dogs of several neighbors every day and is forced to run for long periods of time in the evenings.
Matsuda Jinpei tilted his head to glance at the distant lakeshore, curled his lips, and said in a nasty tone, "I don't believe it."
Momozawa Airi: "..."
After she finished speaking, she realized that her metaphor was not appropriate, so she continued with a stiff upper lip: "Really!"
She thought about this idea secretly for a while, and felt that she might never be made to cry by Jinpei Matsuda again... or something like that.
...After all, she is someone who can race with a Border Collie for a long, long time in one breath!
Momozawa Airi: "Really, really, really, really."
Matsuda Jinpei: "You are so childish."
——Thus, an even more childish pedaling endurance competition began inexplicably.
…
When the boat docked, the rain had indeed stopped.
The road is a bit slippery.
Momozawa Airi felt as if her legs were filled with lead.
I didn't expect... the distance the boat just drifted freely was actually so far...
The return trip by pedaling is a lot farther than the going trip.
"The distance was different, but I persevered to the end." As she got off the boat, Momozawa Airi declared solemnly, "So I still won."
As she spoke, she took a step forward.
His legs shook and he stumbled on the slippery road.
Almost slipped directly into the lake.
Jinpei Matsuda reached out and grabbed her, clicked his tongue twice, and said nothing else.
But it is meaningful.
Momozawa Airi: "..."
She felt deeply embarrassed and suddenly and gently bumped into Matsuda Jinpei's calf with her calf.
Matsuda Jinpei paused but did not dodge.
…Anyway, she has no strength left now, so she can’t kick very hard.
As he thought about this, he felt a tingling sensation on his legs.
Slid a bit.
Matsuda Jinpei, whose legs were also sore, was similarly weak: "..."
Finally, we decided to hold hands and walk on the road together, being careful not to step into puddles and fall.
…
As she walked, Momozawa Airi felt that simply walking was a bit boring.
Maybe it’s been a while since I played with Jinpei Matsuda, so when we’re together I always want to have some fun.
She felt her entire hand was wrapped by the other person, so she pulled her hand out suddenly and tried to wrap Matsuda Jinpei's hand with her own.
“…”
Matsuda Jinpei glanced at her sideways, dodged with his backhand, and grabbed her hand tightly again.
Momozawa Airi didn't give up. She stretched out her other hand to pry open his fingers one by one, trying to fight back.
As she was trying to open her mouth, she heard a sneer from Jinpei Matsuda above her head.
【childish. 】
Momozawa Airi retorted: "You are——"
Before she could finish her words, Matsuda Jinpei restrained her wrists with a quick movement that was too fast for her to see.
He even pinched her wrist gently provocatively.
Momozawa Airi: "..."
She looked at the standard look and felt that it looked a bit like being handcuffed.
"…was I arrested by a future police officer?"
Momozawa Airi complained coldly and struggled for a while.
Matsuda Jin held her wrists firmly, and she couldn't break free.
"Yes."
Matsuda Jinpei responded nonchalantly, yawned, and squinted at the tram stop not far from the park gate.
Momozawa Airi: "..."
Could he have learned this in the police academy?
“…”
Momozawa Airi paused, feeling that her current posture was somewhat disadvantageous.
She was unconvinced and kept arguing, finding strange angles to argue: "That's it? This kind of arrest is too informal. Next time, at least use handcuffs."
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
A sentence that makes no logic.
He tilted his head to look at her, curled his lips provocatively, and drew out his voice maliciously.
"If you want to, it's not impossible."
The deep blue eyes seemed somewhat bewitching under the night light.
Momozawa Airi: "..."
She was stuck for a moment, staring straight ahead as quiet as a chicken.
*
The tram stop is just a short distance from the park gate.
This place is a bit remote and there are not many passengers entering the station.
Momozawa Airi twisted her freed wrist and stuck out her tongue at Matsuda Jinpei: "Now I've escaped, and you failed to capture me."
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
Maybe it was because it had just rained, and this place is already remote, so there are almost no passers-by.
Momozawa Airi took out her card from her bag and was about to enter the station when she suddenly discovered that Matsuda Jinpei had not left yet.
He stood in front with his hands in his pockets nonchalantly.
His tall figure was blocking her way to the station.
Momozawa Airi smiled friendly and took a step to the side.
As a result, the person in front of him also moved a step.
"?"
Momozawa Airi looked at Matsuda Jinpei in confusion.
The other person's expression remained calm and he tilted his head towards her as if nothing had happened.
Momosawa Airi: "...?"
A flash of inspiration.
She suddenly remembered that there was no kiss during this meeting.
Momozawa Airi: "..."
I always feel that after not seeing each other for a long time, she is not used to physical contact with the other person.
I'm a little embarrassed.
It’s like every time I return to school after a long vacation, I feel a little awkward the first few days when I see my classmates.
She felt as if she was starting a new relationship from scratch_(:з)∠)_
Momozawa Airi pursed her lips and pretended not to understand: "You're blocking me."
"..." Matsuda Jinpei lowered his eyes and looked at her without saying a word, raising his eyebrows slightly.
There was no intention of letting her go.
Momozawa Airi managed to utter, "Like I said last time, if you fight, I won't kiss you when we meet this time."
Based on her previous understanding of Matsuda Jinpei, he would probably make a few complaints with a hint of dissatisfaction, and then hum awkwardly.
Then they chat about some random things and forget about it.
Just like how she always handled things - this way she would have time to go back and relax, and be an ostrich for a few days.
…
Momozawa Airi confidently plans her future development.
The other person present obviously ignored the script she described and had no intention of continuing to act according to it.
"Just change it."
Momozawa Airi: "?"
Change, change what?
Before she could react, she felt a shadow cast in front of her.
Matsuda Jinpei walked straight forward and looked at her with his eyes lowered.
The second before his lips were about to touch hers, Momozawa Airi subconsciously shrank to the side.
The breath in front of me was gentle, and I felt a warm touch on my cheek.
[…Tsk.]
She heard Jinpei Matsuda sigh softly in his heart.
Momozawa Airi thought it was over and was about to take a step back when Matsuda Jinpei suddenly raised his hand, pressed the back of her head and pushed her in front of him.
The soft touch moved to my lips.
The gentle atmosphere that was implicit a few seconds ago disappeared in an instant.
Even though their lips and tongues only intertwined for a moment, Momozawa Airi could clearly feel that this kiss was somewhat fierce.
Momozawa Airi didn't have any time to take a break from being an ostrich or a snail. Instead, she was pulled out of her layers of protective shell by Matsuda Jinpei and forced to face the reality of an unknown follow-up.
Her body sensed the familiar breath and slowly relaxed.
“…”
No matter what subtle changes there are, the opponent is still Jinpei Matsuda.
The Jinpei Matsuda she was familiar with.
…
When she swiped her card to enter, Momozawa Airi felt her cheeks burning.
She touched her cheek with the cold card surface and looked up at Jinpei Matsuda who was standing outside.
“…See you this weekend.”
Matsuda Jinpei looked at her and smiled easily.
He deliberately raised his hand slowly and wiped the corner of his lips that had just been bitten subconsciously by Momozawa Airi.
There was no more bleeding there.
Then, Jinpei Matsuda looked at Momozawa Airi's face getting redder with a good mood.
"Well, see you this weekend."
