Yui Yuigahama didn't like getting up early either. If she could sleep until she woke naturally, why wake up early at all? It was a rare day off, and she wanted to sleep in—but the moment she remembered that today was the day she would officially meet Kotomi's family, her nervous little heart made sure she woke up early anyway. Going back to sleep was impossible.
Kotomi Izumi could naturally tell that Yui was still a little nervous, so she teased her with a smile.
"Is it really that serious? You're just coming with me to meet some relatives. No need to be this nervous. I thought the bedtime stories I told you last night had already gotten rid of your anxiety."
"Because..."
Kotomi didn't give Yui a chance to finish and cut her off directly.
"You're so timid, it's useless. You're this nervous just meeting my relatives—what are you going to do when you come to my house to propose in the future and face my parents? You'd probably be so scared you couldn't even say a word. My parents wouldn't want me marrying some timid, weak little dumpling who can't even protect me."
At the end, Kotomi even deliberately provoked her a little.
As expected, it worked immediately. Yui became flustered and said anxiously,
"I'll work hard to stop being timid! I'll definitely protect you!"
Yui Yuigahama took every word Kotomi said seriously and kept it in her heart. There were many things Kotomi herself had already forgotten, but Yui still remembered them clearly.
Even after more than ten years, if you asked her, she could repeat them word for word.
Seeing how serious Yui was, Kotomi couldn't help but burst out laughing. She reached out again and firmly pinched Yui's soft cheeks.
Perhaps because Kotomi had been pinched so much by other girls when she was young, she subconsciously believed that pinching cheeks was a very "dominant" action. So, in order to appear dominant and match her self-proclaimed identity of being "mostly the top," she always liked finding chances to pinch Yui's cheeks.
Why did Kotomi like pinching Yui's cheeks so much?
Because only in front of Yui could she act a little dominant for a while...
If she tried that with other girls, she might get turned on immediately.
"You didn't even refute me calling you a little dumpling at all~"
Kotomi said in a strong, commanding tone. With her current voice acting ability, she could debut as a professional voice actress without any problem.
For example, right now, she was imitating the tone of Esdeath from Akame ga Kill!.
Normally, Yui had already gotten somewhat used to Kotomi calling her a little dumpling, but hearing her emphasize it like this made her feel embarrassed.
"I'm not silly..." Yui muttered softly, her face red.
Yui knew she was a bit silly, but if Kotomi said it out loud, she couldn't help but feel especially shy.
It was just like Kotomi herself—she clearly knew she was more of a submissive type and a little quirky, but if someone pointed it out, she would stubbornly deny it and insist she was "mostly the top."
The moment Yui finished speaking, Kotomi's expression turned cold as she said in a low voice,
"So, you don't like the nickname I gave you?"
Seeing Kotomi suddenly unhappy, Yui quickly shook her head, sounding a bit panicked.
"No, I really like it!"
"Then why did you say you're not silly?" Kotomi asked coldly.
Honestly, it was a huge loss to the voice acting industry that Kotomi hadn't debuted as a voice actress.
The industry was doomed.
Yui had no way of telling that Kotomi was just pretending to be angry. Her heart was simple and earnest—she took every word Kotomi said seriously, thinking she was genuinely upset, yet she didn't know how to comfort her. Tears welled up in her eyes as she said carefully,
"I-I am silly!"
Hearing Yui admit it herself, Kotomi slightly loosened her grip on Yui's cheeks. She smiled and nodded, looking satisfied.
"That's right. You're the silliest, and I'm the smartest. From now on, you have to listen to everything I say, understand?"
"Got it..." Yui nodded obediently.
Even if Kotomi hadn't said that, Yui would still listen to her anyway. But what Kotomi wanted wasn't the result—it was the process.
She just wanted to see Yui nod obediently and say she would listen.
That made her feel dominant and powerful.
"Then now, take off the clothes you're wearing and keep me company while I sleep a bit longer."
"Okay."
Yui nodded obediently.
Kotomi wrapped her arms around Yui, preparing to go back to sleep. But after closing her eyes for quite a while, she realized she wasn't sleepy at all. Feeling a bit annoyed, she lightly smacked Yui and said irritably,
"It's all your fault. Now I'm not sleepy anymore! You silly dumpling!"
"Sorry..." Yui immediately apologized, thinking Kotomi was angry again, her voice filled with fear.
Her inferiority complex made her most afraid of Kotomi getting angry—because she feared that if Kotomi got upset, she might break up with her.
"Is 'sorry' enough?" Kotomi pressed on, refusing to let it go.
"Then I... mm!"
Before Yui could finish speaking, Kotomi sealed her lips with a kiss.
Kotomi's usual method—taking the initiative with a kiss to seize control.
Of course, every time she gained the upper hand, it lasted less than a minute before she was turned on.
This time was no exception. In less than ten seconds, Yui had already turned the tables.
While the two of them were tangled together, Yukino Yukinoshita lay nearby, appearing to still be asleep—but in reality, she had already woken up when they started talking.
She had been planning to find the right moment to get up, but unexpectedly, the two of them boldly started fooling around right beside her again...
Is it always next to me? Are you two addicted to this kind of thrill?! Yukino cursed inwardly.
Just hearing their voices was already enough to fill her with jealousy. The worst part was that she didn't even dare to casually turn over under the pretense of sleeping just to sneak a glance at Kotomi.
All she could do was lie there with her back to them, listening to Kotomi's voice and imagining what she looked like... Someone as proud as Yukino could never swallow that frustration, so every time, she clenched her teeth so hard they almost ground together.
People really do have different personalities.
If it were Mashiro Shiina in this situation, she probably would have already started feeling both heartbroken and strangely excited at the same time.
Fortunately, it didn't last very long.
Two minutes later.
Kotomi Izumi still hadn't had her fill.
Yui Yuigahama, on the other hand, was already completely exhausted, panting heavily as if she didn't even have the strength to speak.
Kotomi gently poked her, only to find that Yui didn't even have the strength to move. That was when she realized Yui had truly reached her limit.
At that thought, Kotomi couldn't help but twitch her lips. Forget being satisfied—she felt like she hadn't even gotten started yet, and Yui was already done.
Even those "two minutes" were generously rounded up by Kotomi. Otherwise, it probably wouldn't have even reached a full minute.
Kotomi actually knew why Yui was so weak. The main reason was that they were in a hotel. Yui was used to being with her at home, so being in a different environment made her a bit uncomfortable. On top of that, Yui was especially prone to getting excited or nervous.
Although Kotomi was experienced, she still remembered how she used to be—being nervous or overly excited really could have a huge impact.
Even so, as someone with the Queen of All Females physique, Kotomi had a very large "appetite," in every sense of the word. If Yui didn't recover quickly, just one or two minutes was nowhere near enough to satisfy her.
At that point...
Kotomi let out a helpless sigh. She didn't say anything out loud—not even her sigh made a sound, afraid that Yui might lose confidence if she heard it. Instead, she reached out and gently stroked Yui's hair, comforting her softly.
"Yui, it's okay~ Two minutes is already pretty impressive."
"Wuu..."
Yui cried out unwillingly. She didn't want to be this weak either!
Beside them, Yukino Yukinoshita, who was still pretending to be asleep, felt waves crashing in her heart. She hadn't expected Yui to be... this weak!
Last time seemed to be barely three minutes, then two minutes, and this time it didn't even reach two!
Although Yukino didn't know what a normal duration should be for something like this, she had secretly read the novels Kotomi often snuck a look at during class. Naturally, the novels Kotomi liked never lacked descriptions of such things—if there weren't enough, she wouldn't even read them!
And in those novels...
One session lasted twenty-four hours.
After each time, the heroine would rest in bed for an entire month.
Yukino felt that while reality might not be as exaggerated as twenty-four hours, it shouldn't be over in just one or two minutes either, right?
So was Kotomi too strong... or was Yui too weak?
Just like that, the three of them lay on the bed, appearing as if they had all fallen asleep.
But in reality, not a single one of them was asleep.
Kotomi was thinking: I'm completely unsatisfied. Forget being full—I didn't even quench my thirst... Forget it, I'll just go to the bathroom and take care of it myself.
Yui was thinking: Wuu... why am I so weak? Will Kotomi start to dislike me and go find someone else? No, I have to become stronger! But... how do I even become stronger...?
Yukino was thinking: Yui is so weak... sigh, but what right do I have to laugh at her? No matter how weak she is, she's still Kotomi's girlfriend. Besides, I don't even know if I'm strong or weak. What if, when it's my turn with Kotomi, I'm even worse than Yui...? No, no, why am I even thinking about this?!
...
At nine o'clock, Yukino Yukinoshita finally sat up as if she had just woken up, stretching lazily. She knew that if she didn't take the initiative to "wake up" first, Kotomi and Yui might keep pretending for a while longer...
Well, Yui might not be pretending—she was probably actually asleep. After all, just a few hours ago, she had been exhausted after only two minutes.
Sure enough, once Yukino got up and finished getting dressed, Kotomi rubbed her eyes and sat up as if she had just woken as well. After staring blankly at the ceiling for a moment, she picked up her phone and exclaimed in mock surprise,
"Oh wow, it's already this late. I was planning to have a leisurely breakfast, but I guess I'll just skip it and eat more when we get to my third uncle and aunt's place at noon."
Kotomi loved chaining her lines together. Right after saying that, she followed up with another sentence.
"Yukino, are you really not coming with me and Yui to visit my third uncle and aunt? Their cooking is amazing, especially the fish. Not a single fish has ever made it out of their house alive."
"If a fish could walk out on its own, that would be strange. 'Swim out' would be more appropriate—but this is land, not the ocean, so how would it swim out? Or are you saying that under the summoning of dark magic, it turns into a fish spirit?" Yukino lightly teased.
"Ke ke ke... if that kind of dark magic really existed, my first target would be chickens. I'd turn them into chicken spirits with middle-parted hair that can play basketball," Kotomi laughed mischievously.
"Chicken spirits?"
Yukino looked confused. She thought Kotomi meant the seasoning used in cooking and couldn't understand how something like that could have a middle part and play basketball.
After Kotomi finished getting dressed, Yui finally woke up.
At first, she had been pretending to sleep like the others, but she had been so tired that she accidentally fell asleep for real, enjoying a comfortable second round of sleep.
Yui had even had a dream—she dreamed that Kotomi abandoned her for being too weak and started dating and eventually marrying another girl.
In the end, Kotomi, held in another girl's arms, appeared before her with a swollen belly, smiling mockingly as she said,
"Yui, you could never satisfy me. When I was with you, at first I could still be patient and comfort you out of pity, but as time went on, your lack of progress just annoyed me more and more. I thought about breaking up with you more than once, but I couldn't bear to say it because I pitied you.
"But after I met her, we spent a wonderful night together, and that's when I finally understood what happiness really is. So I decided to leave you completely. Do you know why you kept calling me that night and I never answered? Sorry, I forgot it was our 1000th day anniversary.
"Anyway, that's all I have to say. The child I'm carrying is our third... hehe, quite a lively one.
"Yui, since this is the end, I'll just tell you directly.
"Every cake you ever made for me was delicious. I think I once liked you, but... I've already become an adult before you."
Although it was just a dream, those words pierced Yui's heart like a blade, making her cry bitterly even in her sleep.
So when Yui woke up, Kotomi noticed the tear-streaked face and couldn't help but ask,
"Yui, were you crying in your sleep just now?"
