"What's wrong?"
Still, Tobe ignored the chat and looked at Yukinoshita, who appeared a little troubled.
"No, it's just my mother called me."
Yukinoshita hesitated, wondering what she should do.
"Just answer, then."
"...what should I say?"
Could she say that she was with her boyfriend?
By then, what would her mother do?
"....."
Tobe was silent, wondering whether Mrs. Yukinoshita was so scary. "Just answer, we just went home from studying together."
"...."
Yukinoshita was speechless.
Study?
What kind of a study?
Lewd study?
"...what kind of a study?"
"....."
Watching her innocent and tense expression, Tobe wondered why his girlfriend was still pure despite having so many lewd exchanges with him. "Health and Physical Education?"
"..." Yukinoshita was speechless, then pinched his arm lightly. "Be serious!"
"...just say mathematic. We're about to have an exam, right?"
"Well, that's true..." Yukinoshita made a mental preparation before she answered the call, yet somehow her voice was a little tense. "Mom?"
"Yukino, are you at home?"
"Ah, no, but I am about to go back."
"Is that so? What are you doing? Don't you need to study for the exam?"
"I just studied earlier."
"With?"
"...my boyfriend."
"Oh..."
"....." 2x
"Really? Only studying?"
"Yes."
"...that's good, then. Go and study hard. You have an exam later, right? Then, you need to do your best together."
"Ah, yes."
While Yukinoshita was nervous, fortunately, her mother wasn't persistent and only told her to study hard before ending the call, which made her sigh in relief.
"So...?"
"Nothing happens." Yukinoshita sighed in relief as she gave her reply. "But I feel bad somehow..."
Lying.
The more time she spent with Tobe, the more she did many bad things.
Yukinoshita, who had never lied and always tried to be prim and proper, the example of everyone, was being led into the path of hell as she started to love lewd things and committed many other sins.
"I am becoming bad with you."
"To have sins isn't that bad."
"Is it?"
Facing her doubt, Tobe said, "If someone doesn't have any pride, wouldn't they also be lacking in self-confidence? If someone were free of greed, wouldn't they be unable to support their families? And if they didn't envy one another, then wouldn't they stop inventing new things?"
"When you said it that way..."
There were some truths in his words, which surprised her, never expecting that some bad things that people avoid had a certain benefit to life.
It was said to cure something, sometimes a poison was necessary, and it seemed those words were correct.
"If people didn't feel lust, then humankind would go extinct, too."
"...I think that you should hold back your lust a bit."
"Then, should we go back right away?"
"...stop teasing me." Yukinoshita pouted, thinking that her boyfriend loved to tease her most, which made her always shy.
"It can't be helped, who makes you so cute to tease?"
Rubbing her head softly, Tobe smiled, thinking that this girl was adorable. While people thought of her as a thorny rose that was combined with frigid winter, the beautiful combinations were yet extremely dangerous, as he could peel her outer layer, all that was left was the cuteness of a kitty that was often in heat.
"...but I am not happy."
While she enjoyed his touch, she folded her arms as she looked away.
"Then, let's go back?"
"....."
Yukinoshita wanted to bite this bastard!
"So, have you thought about which salon you will go to?"
"Have you ever been in a salon, Yukino?"
"Yes, I did." Yukinoshita nodded. "I went to the one that my mother goes to. My family has been going there for many years, but it's for females, so I'm not sure about yours. Have you been to the salon before?"
"Well..." Tobe thought for a moment, trying to recall the memory of the previous Tobe, wondering whether he had gone to the salon. "I did, though." Then again, while in the beginning he often went to the salon as he got the "Fast Learner" ability from Miko Iino, and many other abilities, he hardly went to the salon and cut his hair by himself.
"Then, how about we go there?"
"That cut isn't that good."
Unlike the previous Tobe, he had many unique abilities, so he knew which places he should go, especially to cut his hair and many others. After they used the bus and walked for a while, they arrived at their destination, where they quickly met the owner, who happened to be in the shop.
"So, what kind of a cut do you want?"
While the owner felt that it was a shame to cut Tobe's long hair since growing hair wasn't exactly an easy thing, and Tobe was just so handsome with his long hair, so well, as a hairdresser, he felt a bit sorry, but as Tobe was about to meet his girlfriend's mother, what could he do?
"What kind of a cut will you get, Kakeru?"
As Yukinoshita stood next to him and asked curiously, Tobe looked at his reflection in the mirror, thought for a moment, and said, "Cut it shorter, but the bangs..." As he made his request, he discussed it with the hairdresser before they came to a conclusion on the best hairstyle for him.
"Your girlfriend is so clingy," the hairdresser said with a helpless sigh at Yukinoshita, who stared at him dangerously.
"....."
Tobe glanced at the hairdresser with a sigh, wondering why most of them were a bit "special," but like how women would appreciate beautiful women, while men had this pride that didn't allow them to feel fascinated toward other men unless they were great figures such as heroes, politicians, or religious figures, inwardly, they would think how other could dress in handsome way, making them wish to mimic, too.
Then again, it wasn't all as some people thought that appearance wasn't everything, and one should accept the way they were instead of trying to dress better like women.
While Tobe didn't say that they were wrong since everyone was free to have their own beliefs, he felt that dressing better was one of the etiquettes, since when one tried to dress, they would think of the people they would meet. It was a way to show the importance of others in indirect ways and give them a better impression easily.
That said, if one met a sloppy, ugly woman and a beautiful woman, one would feel happy to meet the beautiful woman, right?
While dressing was important, it wasn't the most important, and one only needed to master the bare minimum of this skill, since if one tried to be hard on oneself, giving efforts to make a change to be a better self, the world would become kinder toward them.
On the other hand, if one were lazy, trying to search for easy ways for their lives, then don't blame the world for being quite cruel toward them, too.
"What do you think, Miss Girlfriend?" The hairdresser asked proudly as he wiped his sweat, feeling quite afraid of his masterpiece, thinking that many families would be broken by this bad guy~!
It took quite a while, but finally, his cutting was finished, and while Yukinoshita's eyes couldn't look away, the rest, who happened to see Tobe's new hairstyle, couldn't look away, either.
Tall, handsome, with sharp facial features, his new short hairstyle has quite long bangs.
(Like Shouma Toriashi in Yakuza Fiance.)
"What do you think?" Tobe asked softly as he looked at Yukinoshita.
"Not bad..." Yukinoshita held his hand tightly with her small palm and lightly caressed his palm with her long fingers, clearly showing her intent. "Should we go back now?"
"..."
Tobe knew that his girlfriend was impatient, wishing to be one with him as soon as possible.
"...what about the dinner?"
"Let's buy takeout."
"You are okay with Yoshinoya?"
"I don't mind. It's quite good."
So, after they left the hairdresser shop, they went to buy takeout from yoshinoya, and his favorite condoms, which were the thinnest and also the most expensive, as normal condoms didn't feel nice.
Then again, condoms weren't cheap!
Regardless, as the fire on their bodies was already lit up, they felt everything move so slowly.
"Be patient, okay?"
Yukinoshita lightly rubbed his lower body, patting it softly, like a pet, telling it to calm down, yet this action of hers caused the opposite effect as it made him even—
"...stop teasing me."
She only laughed at his aggressive reply, which made him sigh before the two quickly entered her home, and when they were all ready to go all out, they had their fun at the entrance of her apartment.
"Yukino."
"..." 2x
Yukinoshita lived alone.
It should have been, but in front of them, someone stood there.
"Mom?"
While Yukinoshita was dumbfounded, Tobe was even more at a loss as Mrs. Yukinoshita's eyes drew toward his big bulge that was impossible to hide under his trousers.
"....."
