Side Story Episode 14
At Airi’s innocent voice, Berry could only bite his lips frantically.
Then Airi smiled brightly and gently pressed Berry’s lips.
“Berry, you can’t bite your lips like that. You’ll bleed.”
“Ah…”
Feeling Airi’s hand touching the tip of his lips, Berry was reminiscing about the past.
‘The room you can’t leave without kissing, I remember that time.’
And Airi, who had been casually touching Berry’s lips, seemed to have recalled that incident as well.
Suddenly rolling her eyes around, she soon opened her mouth.
“Uh, um, uh… So, so, I mean…”
I, I didn’t want to die like this though…
“Ah, Berry. Come to think of it, is this room also a room you can’t leave without kissing…?”
“Um, then, if that’s the case.”
“Yeah. Do we need to kiss?”
At those words, Berry’s eyes turned pitch black.
But perhaps because he had experience kissing in the past.
Airi was a little faster than before.
She pressed her lips to his with a soft peck.
…However, surprisingly, unlike that time, nothing changed.
“Huh? This isn’t that kind of room?”
“Uh, um…”
Airi closed her eyes and urged Berry.
“Berry, will you kiss me?”
“…”
Looking at her eyes closed as if it were the most natural thing, Berry slowly swallowed his dry saliva.
Then, he quietly pressed his lips against hers.
But even so, the box naturally didn’t change…
Berry realized that he was truly a terrible person now.
‘I’ve changed, damn it.’
He could clearly recognize that he was a bastard who couldn’t overcome his desires.
Berry had definitely tried to hold back. But Airi was too pretty, too cute, and they had frequent contact. No, that’s not it.
‘There’s no way to interpret this situation with any words…’
Thinking about that fact made him feel somewhat suffocated. Berry took a few deep breaths. Then Airi looked at him questioningly and asked.
“I think we need to find another way… Berry?”
“…Yeah, why?”
“Your complexion is pale. And…”
Instantly, Airi’s expression darkened. Berry looked at Airi worriedly and thought. What could it be? Maybe something went wrong? Then, Airi’s small hand tapped under Berry’s nose.
“…Berry, here. You have a nosebleed.”
…Right, he was the one in the wrong for having such dirty thoughts about sacred and precious Airi.
Berry squeezed his eyes shut.
“Anyway, we have no choice but to keep enduring here.”
“Yeah, uh-huh.”
Airi quietly looked at Berry. At Berry’s nosebleed, sweat, and something…
“…Berry, are you really okay? You’re not sick, are you?”
“My body isn’t bad.”
Looking at Airi’s eyes that were still purely innocent, Berry now really wanted to make a confession. He quietly murmured.
“Actually, it’s not that my body is bad, it’s just… I’m too healthy and that’s the problem.”
“Too healthy is a problem?”
“…When I look at you, I want to kiss you and do even more. When we’re touching like this, that feeling gets stronger.”
“…”
As Airi just kept moving her lips, Berry muttered with a dejected expression.
“In short, I’m a sexually frustrated pervert, Airi. …Not that pure Berry from your memories.”
After all those words and confessions were finished.
Berry muttered in disappointment.
“I’m pretty dirty, aren’t I?”
Airi fixed her violet eyes on him and narrowed them.
It was when Airi’s lips moved slightly to say something.
From far away, they heard someone calling them.
And the next moment.
Bang!
Crash!
Berry’s face stiffened without hearing Airi’s answer.
Soon the box shook as if it was about to open with loud noise.
Forgetting to answer Berry’s words, Airi’s eyes widened.
“…Huh? The door seems to be opening?”
Berry squeezed his eyes shut and opened them.
“Damn, was confession the answer to opening this box? How embarrassing…”
“Rather than that, just…”
“…That wasn’t it either?”
Berry suddenly thought. Then didn’t he just confess his dirty desires to Airi for nothing?
And without even hearing Airi’s proper answer at that.
Thinking about that made his face turn a little pale, but…
“Do you hear that voice?”
…Soon, at Airi’s single sentence, he listened to the outside sounds again.
‘Getting out is more important for now.’
The voice faintly heard from outside belonged to someone familiar to them. Berry and Airi looked at each other. Then they said simultaneously.
“It’s Cookie!”
“Cookie.”
And when they recognized Cookie’s voice, finally…
“You guys!”
…With Cookie’s voice, the two were finally freed from the box that had been like a crazy prison.
Precisely at the moment when Berry wanted to hear Airi’s answer, so he least wanted to be freed from that box.
Soon, Berry’s gaze reached Cookie.
It was a very cold gaze.
* * *
“You guys, really, really…”
Cookie was sobbing with a wet face covered in tears, snot, and even milk.
Airi held up a handkerchief and wiped the marble ice cream tears flowing from Cookie’s eyes.
“What should I really do. I’m so sorry…”
“Crocodile tears.”
At Airi’s cold words, Cookie immediately stopped the marble ice cream tears.
Then, Berry quietly looked at Cookie.
“No, Berry. What you should be sorry for is coming too early. I needed to hear an answer from Airi.”
The moment Airi’s face turned bright red, Cookie tilted his head and thought to himself.
‘Why do I feel like they’ve both grown up somehow?’
Whether Cookie tilted his head or not, Berry naturally took Airi’s hand.
“Airi, come here. I have something to say privately.”
“…Ah!”
Airi blushed but firmly grasped Berry’s hand.
Watching that scene, Cookie thought.
Perhaps she might have sparked something in the hearts of those two.
* * *
“So, I want to hear your answer.”
“…Yes, an answer.”
Berry looked at Airi with a solemn expression. As he gazed deeply into Airi’s eyes, he quietly murmured.
“This place is different from that box earlier. You can run away anywhere you want. But I’d like you to tell me.”
“…”
Airi looked up at Berry quietly. Then she smiled brightly.
“Yes, I’ll tell you.”
“…”
“I also feel many emotions when I look at you, Berry. …Those kinds of feelings you said you felt too.”
“…”
Berry’s Adam’s apple bobbed deeply. However, even with her cheeks flushed red, Airi didn’t turn away from facing Berry. Instead, she quietly recited.
“And that’s natural. It’s not dirty.”
“Then…”
“I always feel the same way as you, Berry Jacquel.”
As soon as those words ended, Airi threw herself into his arms.
She closed her eyes tightly and smiled at Berry as if urging him on.
…Well, what happened after that?
Of course they kissed.
Though they haven’t taken the next step yet!
