The fanfic hasn't gotten many reviews yet, so if you have some extra time, I'd really appreciate it if you could leave one!
--------------------------------------------------
'I must be going completely crazy.' Utaha Kasumigaoka thought silently to herself.
He already had a girlfriend, and she was literally sitting right next to him. Yet here she was, acting exactly like a shameless homewrecker leaning into the affair...
Unlike the painfully dense Yui Yuigahama—
Recalling Kai's behavior along the way, with Utaha's sharp intellect, she had already figured it out. He had likely orchestrated all of it on purpose. He had perfectly utilized those verbal provocations to manipulate her into coming here.
But even after realizing this, not only did Utaha feel zero disgust, she actually felt an inexplicable sense of thrill.
Didn't this just prove exactly how overwhelming her charm really was?
Sensing that Kai's hands were getting increasingly brazen under the cover of the dark theater...
Utaha adjusted her breathing and slowly squeezed her eyes shut. 'Just this once... I'll let myself indulge.'
————————————————————
"What's wrong with Senpai?"
After they finally left the movie theater, Yui watched Utaha's back as she practically sprinted toward the restroom.
She looked over at Kai in pure confusion.
"She probably just drank too much water earlier. It's totally normal."
With a playful, knowing smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth, Kai offered Yui a completely deadpan explanation.
"Oh, I see!"
The pure and innocent Yui didn't overthink it for a single second, simply nodding in agreement.
However, having the topic brought up suddenly made Yui feel the urge to go as well.
"Sorry, Kai-kun. Could you wait here for a second? I need to use the restroom too."
"Go ahead, go ahead!"
Kai smiled and nodded.
He casually leaned against the wall of the movie theater lobby.
When Utaha Kasumigaoka finally emerged, the first thing she saw was Kai standing there alone.
"Where's Yuigahama?"
"She just went in a minute ago."
Kai pointed toward the restroom doors, then swept his gaze over Utaha with a highly suggestive smile.
"I actually thought Senpai was going to stay in there a little longer. After all..."
"DON'T YOU DARE SAY IT!" Before Kai could even finish his sentence, Utaha violently interrupted him, her entire face flushed bright red.
"This is entirely your fault."
She shot him a coquettish, reproachful glare.
"I certainly didn't expect you to have such dishonest hands."
Stepping slightly closer to him, Utaha's breathing grew noticeably heavier.
"Aren't you worried I'll go tell your little girlfriend all about what just happened?"
Kai let out a low chuckle.
He seamlessly wrapped an arm right around Utaha's waist.
"Which one are you referring to??"
"..." Good lord. So Yuigahama isn't even the only one.
In the past, Utaha had absolutely despised cheating scumbags like this. Yet, now that she knew Kai was an unapologetic playboy, she actually felt an overwhelming sense of relief. The crushing psychological guilt of ruining her underclassman's relationship completely evaporated into thin air.
"It seems Senpai's charm is just too overwhelming. So, why don't you tell your Senpai... how was the experience just now? Do you want to try getting even closer?"
What was this feeling?
Ever since surviving the Cursed Spirit incident, it felt like Utaha was actively evolving into a literal succubus.
However, Kai was no innocent, naive virgin to be easily flustered. He immediately fired back:
"I recall there being quite a few love hotels in this exact area. What do you say, Senpai? Want to go give them a try right now?"
"Pfft!"
At the end of the day, she was still all bark and no bite.
She let out a light scoff of feigned disgust and immediately took a few steps back. Even with her face burning red, she stubbornly craned her neck and shot back:
"You should probably deal with your little girlfriend first."
"Deal with what?"
Right at that exact moment, Yui Yuigahama stepped out of the restroom. Hearing the tail end of the conversation, she looked over at them in total confusion.
"N-Nothing!"
The sudden voice clearly startled Utaha, causing her to jump slightly.
She frantically tried to cover it up.
Tsk. Her guts really aren't that big after all.
Sweeping an amused glance over Utaha, Kai smiled and walked back to Yui's side.
"Senpai was just showing some concern for our relationship. I think she was worried that maybe one day, my Yui might leave me."
"I WOULD NEVER!" Hearing Kai say that, Yui immediately and anxiously denied it.
Even though she had initially only agreed to the date because the pressure of the atmosphere made it impossible to refuse...
...spending all this time together today had genuinely made Yui fall deeply for him.
Furthermore, inside the dark movie theater just now, everything they should and shouldn't do had basically already been done. For someone as traditionally conservative as Yui, she naturally began to view Kai as her definitive future husband.
She had even started picturing the rest of her life.
Once she graduated high school, she would probably just marry Kai and become a happy, full-time housewife.
"I know. Because Yui loves me very much, right?"
Seeing her earnest, panicked reaction, Kai smiled and lowered his head, locking eyes intensely with Yui.
"Y-Yes."
Although she was incredibly embarrassed, Yui still gave a shy, fully affirming nod.
"Tch!"
Watching this nauseatingly sweet scene play out, Utaha Kasumigaoka couldn't help but click her tongue twice.
If this had been earlier today, she might have just felt annoyed at being force-fed PDA. But now... somehow, watching their dynamic actually sparked a strange, illicit thrill inside her.
'Did I just awaken some kind of bizarre and twisted fetish?'
————————————————————
After eating dinner together, Kai escorted both Yui and Utaha back to their respective homes separately.
On one hand.
They ultimately hadn't made the necessary mental preparations for that final step yet.
Kai wasn't in any rush. The entire process of the chase was incredibly enjoyable in its own right.
Yui's house was closer, so Kai dropped her off first before escorting Utaha back to hers.
"Did you have a fun time on your date today?"
Seeing her daughter return home...
Mama Yuigahama looked over from the living room with a highly knowing smile.
"It was really fun!"
Thinking back on the date—even though the Cursed Spirit popping up in the middle was absolutely terrifying—the overall experience had been incredibly sweet and romantic.
Just thinking about it made the brilliant, lovesick smile on Yui's face completely impossible to hide.
She practically skipped all the way up the stairs back to her bedroom.
"???"
Mama Yuigahama was genuinely surprised.
After all, when Yui left the house that morning, she was vehemently denying that it was a date. She hadn't expected her to completely change her tune and embrace it so quickly.
She was starting to look forward to meeting him.
————————————————————
Meanwhile, on the other side of town.
"We can't do this. I'd feel way too guilty toward my underclassman."
Right outside the front gate of the Kasumigaoka residence.
Utaha Kasumigaoka currently had both her arms securely wrapped around Kai's neck, her burgundy eyes locked dead onto his.
With a gaze as deeply seductive as a literal succubus, practically no normal man alive could have withstood it.
"Senpai, you're so good at this."
Even though she was the one who made the first move just now.
"Don't you find doing it like this incredibly exciting, Kouhai-kun?"
'She must be possessed by a demon right now.'
Seeing Utaha acting like this, Kai suddenly let out a low laugh.
"Well then, Senpai, do you want to experience something even more exciting?"
"Oh? Like what?"
Utaha tilted her head slightly, her eyes brimming with a teasing smile, but also carrying a genuine trace of deep anticipation and desire.
Meeting her intensely seductive gaze, Kai suddenly broke into a massive grin and looked directly over Utaha's shoulder.
"Good evening, ma'am!"
"??"
