Chapter 65 So sweet, I want to kiss you again!
Inside the door, Morofushi Kagemitsu and Tomokazu were having a pleasant conversation, while outside, Nekono Ikuya was idly playing with a chibi version of Furuya Rei's doll.
The doll was exquisitely crafted and lifelike, painstakingly made from dyed wool felt by Nekono Ikuya herself. Its golden hair, spun from the finest wool, had a charmingly messy quality; its dark skin was precisely replicated from light brown wool, perfectly capturing its healthy glow. It wore a miniature off-white hooded sweatshirt, fitted khaki casual trousers, and even a pair of delicate white sneakers made from felt. The little guy's brow was slightly furrowed, its expression deliberately serious, even a bit fierce, but its round eyes and chubby cheeks transformed this fierceness into a different kind of cuteness.
After all, you can't expect a three-headed felt doll to look particularly cold; that would be too much to ask of a small doll. Besides, the doll's prototype, Rei Furuya, originally had a cute appearance.
At this moment, the chibi version of Rei Furuya, with his three heads, was lying quietly in Ikuya Nekono's palm, staring at Ikuya Nekono with an innocent look.
……cute.
Since the real Rei couldn't make it, to avoid Rei's absence from the group activity, Ikuya Nekono thoughtfully brought a chibi version of Rei. But now it seems that Ikuya Nekono is smiling, perhaps finding it quite nice to spend some leisure time with the chibi Rei doll?
This is probably the most serene and beautiful sight in the world. Nekono Ikuya stands tall and graceful, but the movements of her hands reveal a different kind of innocent charm.
He lowered his emerald eyes, his gaze calmly fixed on the chibi-style doll in his palm. With a gentle push of his fingertips, the round doll wobbled and marched in his hand.
Then, Ikuya Nekono instructed the chibi version of Rei Furuya to turn its head towards Kagemitsu Morofushi, who was separated from them by a door, and to awkwardly salute the unseen Kagemitsu Morofushi. Ikuya Nekono was in the room directly opposite the door of the reception room, which was closed at the time.
"The guy who broke his promise."
Nekono Ikumi spoke softly without complaint, his voice so low that only he could hear it. He then gently poked the doll's chubby cheek with his fingertip, causing it to stumble, before placing it neatly on the beautifully textured wooden table in front of him.
He stared quietly for a while at the well-behaved chibi version of Rei Furuya on the table, and the chibi version of Rei Furuya also stared quietly at Ikuya Nekono.

"You're so cute."
Nekono Ikuya muttered to herself, her black, tousled hair falling across her forehead, her emerald eyes brimming with laughter.
Then he suddenly stretched out his long, slender fingers and, with extremely light force, cruelly pushed the doll forward, causing it to slump softly onto the table.
Then, he imitated a child's voice and pretended to dub: "Rei Furuya is an idiot."
Then, he switched back to his clear, natural voice, nodded seriously, and said with a hint of indulgent amusement, "Yes, that's true."
The doll was "shocked" and "struggled to stand up." Nekono Ikuya, imitating the real Rei Furuya, pinched its two little arms and made it into a gesture of crossing its arms and snorting unhappily. The doll looked at Nekono Ikuya with a "stern" face, with a bit of the tsundere look unique to chibi versions.

What can Nekono Ikuya do? Of course not!
He slowly extended his wicked, slender fingers again, and the chibi Furuya Rei doll turned and fled. Unfortunately, the three-headed doll did not have the enviable long legs of the original, and was easily caught by Nekono Ikuya.
"Don't move." Nekono Ikuya lightly tapped the back of the doll's head with her fingertip and threatened seriously, "If you run around again, I'll put you back in my pocket."
Q-version Rei Furuya doll: ...
The doll, of course, couldn't speak or move; it could only sway back and forth helplessly as Nekono Ikuya manipulated it with her fingertips.
A nurse pushing a cart of tea and cookies passed by outside the door and glanced curiously at Nekono Ikuya, who was calmly entertaining herself with a doll.
Nurse:……
Nurse:? ? ?
So, it blends seamlessly into the atmosphere here?
She's quite childlike, isn't she?
But good-looking people do everything well! If she were ten years younger, she would definitely pursue him. But for now, looking at him only makes her feel an overwhelming maternal instinct; he's just too adorable!
She gently placed the orange juice and refreshments on Nekono Ikuya's table, then left with a smile on her lips.
Nekono Ikuya nodded politely, watched the other person leave, and then raised his thumb and slapped the chibi version of Furuya Rei doll that was "trying to escape" back to its original position.
He made the chibi version of Rei Furuya climb a "snow mountain" made of tissues, climb over a "fence" made of straws, and then pretend to slip at the edge of the table before "thrillingly" catching him with his palm.
The single-player game went on for who knows how long, and Nekono Ikuya was thoroughly enjoying it.
Finally, the chibi-style doll got "tired." It spun around in place, then "thud"ed and lay down on its back, refusing to get up no matter how much you poked it.
"Huh, you really can't get up?"
Nekono Yuya poked the waist of the chibi doll in a pretentious manner, causing the doll to dent in its waist and shift slightly on the table.
Then he withdrew his hand, and the dent in the doll's waist slowly returned to its original position, glaring reproachfully at Nekono Ikuya: *stare*
"Okay, I was wrong."
Nekono Ikuya sincerely apologized, took out a large candy from his pocket, and carefully placed it in front of the doll's slightly outstretched arms, as if the little Furuya Rei was trying hard to hug this candy that was like a boulder to him.
Even Nekono Ikuya himself was amused by his own silent, childish act, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
There are even more childish ones.
Nekono Ikuya was about to have his morning tea, but he didn't want to ignore the cute chibi Furuya Rei doll on the table, nor did he want it to look at him pitifully as he ate.
So he took out more miniature accessories from his pocket, such as a cool sun hat and a small coffee cup.
He put the sun hat on the head of the Furuya Zero doll, adjusted its position to straighten it, and then placed the exquisitely detailed coffee cup in its hand.
"Drink your coffee."
Nekono Yuuya whispered to the doll, her fingertips lightly touching the bottom of the cup, as if helping it maintain its balance.
Throughout, his handsome and refined face remained focused and serene, as if he were accomplishing something extremely important. His clear, emerald-green eyes were lowered, and his thick, long eyelashes cast soft shadows beneath them, creating a wonderfully charming contrast with the childlike game in his hands.
Just then, a series of hurried and familiar footsteps approached, and a handsome figure strode closer, carrying the air with him. He had light blond hair that shimmered in the sunlight, contrasting sharply with his dark skin, giving him an indescribable sex appeal. His breathing was slightly rapid from rushing, and his purplish-grey eyes gleamed.
—A larger version of the chibi doll, it's a giant version of Rei Furuya!
Rei Furuya walked very fast, arriving at the door of the reception room almost the instant the sound came. He had excellent observation skills, so he naturally noticed Ikuya Nekono across the reception room.
His gaze darted between Nekono Ikuya and his own chibi doll, then paused on the snow-capped mountain of tissues and the straw fence on the table.
"I've caught a little rascal secretly playing with my chibi doll... Is he complaining to 'me' that I kept you waiting too long?"
Nekono Ikuya sensed the approaching presence and heard Furuya Rei's words, and slowly raised her head.
Their eyes met, and there was not a trace of panic in Nekono Ikumi's emerald green eyes, nor even the embarrassment of being caught doing something childish. There was only a little surprise followed by a quick return to calm.
Instead of hiding the little doll, he gently tapped its head with his fingertip, allowing Kofuya to silently greet Ofuya.
Then, meeting Rei Furuya's gaze, he calmly lifted the chibi version of Rei Furuya a little higher, and then—
He manipulated the puppet to give the real Rei Furuya a clumsy yet adorable flying kiss.
"Is everything done?"
Nekono Ikumi asked with a smile, her tone very natural. Her emerald green eyes were as clear and bright as jade that had been soaked in water, and they were very beautiful.
Rei Furuya finally couldn't help but chuckle, a gentle smile curving his lips. He took a few steps around to the chair, knelt down on one knee, and looked directly at Ikuya Nekono.
"Yes, I'll be back as soon as I've finished my business."
He made no mention of the anxiety he felt when he arrived. His purplish-gray eyes swept over the scattered accessories on the table and the obstacles used for on-the-spot evidence collection before returning to Nekono Ikuya's face.
"Have you been waiting long? I'm sorry, I really had an urgent matter this morning."
The secret talk came at a really bad time, almost making him miss their group activity.
"Hey, it's okay." Nekono Ikuya shook the hand of the chibi Furuya Rei doll and smiled. "It's okay, I brought Furuya with me. It was with us before, so even if you don't come now, it doesn't mean you're absent."
"See how thoughtful I am? Praise me, praise me!" Nekono Ikumi's smile was reserved yet tinged with a hint of smugness.
He blinked: "It says it forgives you."
Nekono Ikuya slapped the tiny Furuya onto the forehead of the large Furuya.
Substitute mini-Furuya plus the real big Furuya, double the Furuya, double the joy, yay!
"My thoughtful Yumi."
Rei Furuya laughed, picked up the small Furuya doll that was stuck to his forehead, and leaned forward in that position to gently kiss the corner of Ikuya Nekono's lips.
“Keep playing.” He stood up, returned the small Furuya doll to Nekono Ikuya, and stared at the slightly stunned Nekono Ikuya, saying, “However, I think there are some things that small Furuya still can’t compare to me, the real Furuya, like my kiss just now… um, I really wanted you to know that just now.”
A hint of a smile appeared in Rei Furuya's eyes.
Nekono Ikuya savored the fleeting kiss that Furuya Rei had just given her. Following Furuya Rei's movement, she raised her head, pondered for a moment, and looked into Furuya Rei's beautiful purple-gray eyes, which still held a smile and gentleness.
Hmm, why does Zero seem a little jealous? Of course, a little happy too. Is it because I showed too much affection for the chibi-style Furuya doll?
However—"You're right."
Nekono Ikuya smiled and affirmed Furuya Rei's words, saying that while the little Furuya doll looked cute and interesting, the big Furuya was definitely the best.
“So—” Nekono Ikuya slowly raised his hand, then suddenly accelerated, grabbing Furuya Rei’s shirt and pulling him closer.
"So let's do it again!"
"Hmm?" Furuya Rei's surprise was instantly silenced by a light kiss.
I want to kiss you again!
