Chapter 532: Mikimoto Hibiki is curious
After the matter with Hibiki was solved, Rui and Hibiki scolded Shishio and Jou for a while before Rui and Jou continued with their training.
Still, whether it was Rui or Hibiki, they thought Shishio and Jou were quite similar to each other, which made them helpless.
"Dad!" Rui shouted, causing Jou to be startled since he didn"t focus on the dish. Instead, he was more focused on the sacred text preached by Shishio. He already felt these texts could become part of his family heirloom. Frankly, he didn"t really care about the dishes and wanted to test whether these things could really work in reality.
Jou had a wife after all, and she waited for him at home. She was constantly worried about his love, so tonight, he would show his love!
Rui was so annoyed at her father"s current state since she could see how he couldn"t focus no matter what. However, what could she do?
Rui heard their conversation slightly and could only sigh.
"Sorry, sorry, Rui. How about we end your training shortly? I have something to do after all," Jou said with an embarra.s.sed laugh.
"....."
There was tic-tac-toe on Rui"s forehead before she exploded. "Dad!"
While Rui and her father were in the middle of their fights, Shishio was sitting on the counter seat while writing something on his laptop. On his side, there was Hibiki.
Hibiki didn"t plan to go back and stayed until they ended their training. According to what she said, "Even if you don"t plan to get back my father, I have to watch over you until the end!" Hearing those words, neither Rui, Shishio, or Jou said anything and just continued whatever they did, considering this girl was harmless now.
Even if Hibiki was his step-daughter, she was his daughter, so Jou knew he had to be fair. However, he must admit that he only wanted to go home and test the things which were told by Shishio.
On the other hand, Shishio stopped typing and looked at Hibiki. "Is there something you want to ask?"
"Ah, um..." Hibiki blushed and felt embarra.s.sed since she wondered whether Shishio had realized she had been staring at him. She came from an all-girls school, and her contact with the opposite gender was quite minimal. Usually, there would be many yuri couples in such a school, but she was normal.
Hibiki must admit she was quite jea— no, she was jealous of Rui since Rui had Shishio as her boyfriend.
"Hmm?" Shishio looked at Hibiki patiently. He didn"t show much impatientness, only gentleness and warmth, causing her to blush.
"....."
Shishio rubbed his face and realized it was so easy to get a girl, especially those in the schools, since they didn"t have much experience with many routines in life. Compared to adults, they hadn"t experienced many things, whether it was bitter, sweet, sour, or many others.
Still, no matter how old someone was, love was something one couldn"t control.
If the love was wonderful, it would make one"s days become so wonderful. On the other hand, if the love was awful, it would make one"s day full of misery.
"...How long have you been dating her?" Hibiki asked after a moment of hesitation.
Shishio stopped, then looked at Hibiki. "Are you curious?"
"What? Am I not allowed to ask?" Hibiki pouted and showed a strong reaction, feeling slightly embarra.s.sed since the question she wanted to ask was answered by his teasing.
"Well, we met each other when I came to Tokyo," Shishio said.
"Huh? You"re not from Tokyo?" Hibiki asked curiously.
"I am from Kyoto."
"Really?"
The two talked to each other, and they quickly became closer.
"...."
On the other hand, Jou watched Shishio, who got so close to his step-daughter easily, which made him quite worried since even though Shishio seemed a quiet type, he could tell this guy was a predator. He moved closer to Rui and whispered, "Rui, is it alright?" He was worried that Shishio might seduce Hibiki after all.
Rui glanced behind, looking at Hibiki and Shishio, who talked to each other. "It"s okay. It"s something normal for him."
"...Re-Really?!" Jou was dumbfounded and rubbed his stubble. He then looked at Rui thoughtfully, then asked, "So your type of man is similar to me? As expected, you still love your dad!"
"....."
Rui had dead eyes and said, "...Look into the mirror before you say that."
"....." Jou.
Small talk was a necessary skill for one in society.
Shishio knew that, and it was easy for him to make this small talk into something exciting for Hibiki. If he wanted to, he could talk with her for an entire night. Still, he was surprised and asked, "You"re a freshman in high school?"
"What? Do you think I am a middle school student or something?" Hibiki showed a fierce expression on her face.
"No, no, of course not." Shishio denied it without hesitation.
"Really...?" Hibiki looked at Shishio suspiciously.
"...Well, I thought you were one before." Shishio sighed.
"As expected...!" Hibiki had this expression on her face.
"But well, you know, I can"t help it, alright? It"s hard to tell that you"re in high school." Shishio showed his defense.
"But I"m already in high school!" Hibiki refuted his words.
"Well, if I look at you carefully, then you"re like one," Shishio observed Hibiki from up and down. "She smells nice." They sat next to each other, and he could smell her sweet scent clearly. If he had to give an example, her smell was like jasmine, which was nice.
"Do-Don"t look at me like that!" Hibiki felt embarra.s.sed when she felt his eyes on him, but she must admit her body felt so hot.
"Sorry." Shishio looked away, then asked, "You"re from an all-girls school, right? Do you feel uncomfortable with the opposite gender?"
Being asked this, there was no way Hibiki would say that she didn"t have an experience with a guy. "No way, I-I am 120% comfortable with the opposite gender!"
"Really?"
"Really!" Hibiki felt Shishio didn"t believe her, so she said, "If you don"t believe me, I"ll give you proof!"
"What kind of proof?" Shishio asked curiously.
Hibiki didn"t say anything for a while. She lowered her head slightly before she made up an expression as if she had made her decision. She then looked up, looking at Rui and Jou, who focussed on cooking.
Shishio wondered what Hibiki was doing, but then he heard her voice.
"Come closer." Her voice was so low that it was almost like a whisper.
Shishio looked at Hibiki suspiciously, but he moved closer, wondering whether she wanted to talk about her secret or something, but suddenly he felt something wet and warm on his cheek.
Hibiki kissed Shishio"s cheek before pulling out, then said smugly, "How was that?" However, she must admit that she was so embarra.s.sed that she wanted to die now. Her delicate legs squeezed together, showing how nervous she was.
However, Shishio didn"t say anything and only stared at Hibiki calmly.
Being stared at by him, Hibiki couldn"t say anything and could only lower her head while blushing.
"I see. I see. I guess you have a lot of experiences, huh?" Shishio smiled gently.
"I-I am not that kind of girl!" Hibiki quickly refuted with a low voice since she was afraid that she would be heard by Rui and Jou. Still, she was quite unsatisfied by Shishio"s reaction since he didn"t even lose his calm after she kissed her cheek. "How about you? How far are you with your girlfriend?"
"You mean with Rui?"
"Yeah." Hibiki nodded, then said, "I guess you must have been kissing each other, right?" She thought they should have kissed each other since they were high school students.
"Well, we have s.e.x."
"....." Hibiki was silent and couldn"t say anything.
Shishio also didn"t say anything and continued to type his novel on his laptop.
Hibiki lowered her head shyly, and her face turned crimson to her neck and ears. She couldn"t believe what she had heard!
"Di-Did you have s.e.x?"
"Yes."
"I-I see.." Hibiki twirled the tip of her hair while glancing at Shishio embarra.s.sedly. "So, was it good?" As a girl, she couldn"t deny her curiosity about s.e.x. After all, she had always been in the all-girls school and had never had a close male friend before, so she was quite curious about Shishio.
"What do you mean?" Shishio asked, but he didn"t turn his head.
"I-I mean... s.e.x... was it good?" Hibiki asked while glancing at Shishio from time to time.
Shishio stopped, then looked at Hibiki. "You"re curious?"
Hibiki somehow couldn"t look away when Shishio looked at her, so she shyly nodded. "Um." However, suddenly her nose flicked, which stunned her. She then looked up and saw him smiling at her!
Hibiki realized she was being teased!
"Mikimoto, you"re too easy. I am afraid if you meet a playboy, you"ll be fooled by him." Shishio felt Hibiki was too easy. He didn"t even say much, and he felt this girl might even give her body to him.
Hibiki rubbed her nose and felt annoyed, but then she said, "Then teach me."
"Teach you?" Shishio looked at Hibiki in confusion.
"I-I mean, so I am not going to be fooled." Hibiki was slightly embarra.s.sed, but she said, "So teach me."
Shishio stared at Hibiki for a while, then nodded. "Okay." Should he reject it? He was a sc.u.mbag. What"s the point of acting all holy now?
"Also..."
"Hmm?"
"Call me Hibiki!" Hibiki stared at Shishio with an expression of five embarra.s.sments and five annoyances.
"Okay, Hibiki." Shishio nodded calmly. "You can also call me Shishio."
"O-Okay, Shishio." Hibiki nodded nervously since it was her first time to a boy with his first name.
Still, even if she wanted to talk more with Shishio since she didn"t expect it to be so fun, the time for them to go home quickly arrived.
Jou locked the door of the restaurant before he went home with Hibiki in his backseat. "Okay, see you tomorrow, Shishio, Rui."
Hibiki didn"t say anything and looked at Rui and Shishio, who were riding on the same motorcycle.
"See you, uncle, Hibiki," Shishio said.
"See you tomorrow." Rui nodded, then said, "Come on, Shishio. We have something to do, right?"
"..."
Shishio sighed and nodded since he knew the climax between the Tachibana sisters was about to be held soon. Then when the two left, Jou also didn"t wait for them and said, "By the way, Hibiki, we"re going to stop somewhere. This is for your mother"s happiness, so bear with me." He couldn"t wait anymore, and he was going to try what Shishio told him, so he could show his manliness to his wife!
"..." Hibiki stared at her step-father, and somehow she wanted to slap him. However, when she turned her head slightly and looked at the figure of Shishio and Rui that slowly dissipated into the night, and wondered how it felt.
"Is it good?"
Hibiki was curious.
