The Christmas Eve of yesterday had already pa.s.sed, and the Christmas of today was also ending.
It was probably the richest December of my life.

“G"work!”
“Thanks.”

Right now, I was preparing to return home at my part-time job"s restaurant.
After overcoming these two busiest days, a year-end party was held amongst those working at this part-time job.
It seems that this place would be closed for three days of the new year. This closure also served as a temporary rest, so the employees were in fairly high spirits.

“……”
“Say, Book, I thought you don"t come to these sorts of things.”

Suddenly Mai called out to me. Because Mai"s type of people usually have the image of remaining at parties until late, she probably won"t go home yet.
Although the year-end party itself was open, there were many people who want the lingering memory of such a gathering.

“If it"s troublesome, then I won"t go. This place is still my part-time job, after all, so I can just eat as I please.”

I"ll head home immediately after I finish eating. Kokoro will end up worrying if I"m too late, and I don"t have much interest in making idle chatter. I also want to slowly soak in a freshly drawn bath.
However, I was restrained by Mai and brought to a stand still.

“Yanagi-san was interesting, right? I also laughed a little.”
“Yeah, I didn"t expect him to be such a person.”

I stepped forward.
In doing so, Mai, for some reason, spread her legs and stood before me.
It"s not like I couldn"t pa.s.s if I did it by force, but going that far would be awkward. It was an exquisite step. It"s only this sort of technique that I respect from Mai.

“Um, say.”
“What?”
“Why don"t we go back together? Is that no good?”

Mai suggested to me while nervously looking downwards.
Ah, I see.
This girl also wants to leave early for some reason. If she goes together with me, she can use that as an excuse

“Sure, I don"t mind.”
“Eh, really? Then I"ll get ready, so just wait!! You"re not allowed to go home first!”
“I got it.”

I guess my time"s gonna be extended again, huh?
It can"t be helped, once in a while. The one who introduced me to this part-time job was her.
I"ve only worked here for about half a month, but even so I"m thankful to her for providing me with a decent place.
That"s why I really want her to get ready quickly.

While leanning against the wall in front of the entrance, I began to grow concerned about the time.

Mai and I were walking through the town whose lights had yet to disappear.
She was awfully late in arriving. I"m really troubled.

“Um, say.”
“What?”

Today"s Mai"s mouth was throwing in an awful lot of unnecessary remarks. She was constantly rubbing her hands, perhaps because they were cold, and her conversations were often interrupted.
As expected, the pa.s.sing of other people was spa.r.s.e at this time of day. The restaurant was right in front of the station, so there was no way we would pause along the way. But-

“Say, just for a little bit, shall we take a detour?”
“……none of the stores are doing business, right?”
“That"s not what I meant……”

Taking my phone out from my pocket, I checked the time. It would almost be 11 o"clock.
Since it"s come to this point, then I guess it doesn"t matter whether we go back now or later.

“Where do you want to go?”
“E-Erm, huh……I wonder where……ah! The park, let"s go to the park in front of the station!”

Mai pointed to a park located right next to the station.
It was something set up in order to improve the scenery in this area, and, upon the nearing of Christmas, it had been decorated with a token degree of illumination.
However, it doesn"t have that much of an appeal so people only pa.s.s by it.

“Then I guess I"ll buy something from the vending machine. What do you want?”
“Erm, whatever.”

I bought two warm coffees. I don"t like it black, so it was the sweet kind with lots of sugar.
Upon receivined the canned coffee, Mai held it so as to warm up her small hands. she looked like a hamster holding sunflower seeds.

“…………”
“…………”

The both of us had become silent.
It"s annoying. In the end, this girl likely wanted to be immersed in the lingering memory of the banquet. Despite being bothered by it, she felt some lingering affection towards it and so brought me here.
What a selfish fellow. Let"s go home after drinking.

“Say, Book. What"re you gonna do next year?”
“Who knows?”

While peering into my expression, Mai talked about nothing but silly trifles.
She really was doing something pointless in trying to keep me here.
I started to get impatient. I can go home now, right? What"s the point of the two of us being in this kind of place together?

Upon realising it, the straggling pa.s.serbys could pretty much no longer be seen anymore. This was a good chance.

“Let"s go home.”
“Eh?”
“It"s already late, right?”
“Hey, look, just wait a bit. I have something to say-“
“You can just text it to me tomorrow, right?”

Mai"s gaze unusually wandered. It"s probably been a long time since she"s been in such a flurry.
If she"s not calm, then that further adds to the point that this should be done later.
I stood up. In doing so, Mai grabbed my sleeve, her eyes watering almost like an abandoned kitten"s.
Even though it"s not like I"m throwing her away.

“Mai, you—-“
“I love you!”

Suddenly, Mai screamed as though to spit out all of her feeling up until now.
For a moment, I couldn"t understand what had happened.

“[Over there is fun].”

I reflexively ended up reciting the Hypnotic Key words.
Mai fell into a hypnotic trance, her tearing eyes fluctuating as they became hollow.
What did this girl say? That she likes me……

“……haah.”

In that moment, I understood. I inadvertedly leaked a sigh.

“……who told you to do it?”

It"s this girl we"re talking about. She probably ended up having to undergo a punishment game or something.
I look like an idiot for being surprised so suddenly. The fact that possibility didn"t immediately surface in my mind meant that I was also vulnerable to being swindled, huh?
In the face of Mai"s desperate cry, I ended up forgetting to question it for a moment.

“……no. No one……told me, to say it.”
“……? Then, are you recording this on your phone or something?”
“……no.”
“Is someone else watching from the shadows?”
“No.”
“So you"re not going to flaunt this to others and make a report later?”
“No.”

What"s going on?
Even though it"s a punishment game, it should be meaningless unless you show it to somebody.
Then, why did she confess to me? No, maybe she said something different?

“What did you say earlier?”
“……I love……you.”
“Give me more detail.”
“I……am……in……love, with………you.”

Even while in a hypnotic trance, Mai confessed with an inarticulate voice. Her cheeks were red even though it was winter, and one could tell that she was nervous despite being unconscious.
Did she really confess to me?

“……Christmas.”

Looking up at the sky, I thought about the reason as to how this girl had come to this confession.
It"s likely because today is Christmas.
Being swallowed up by the atmosphere from the many surrounding couples, she thought that she wanted someone for herself. And so, making a compromise with me, who was close by, she suddenly made a confession.

“……hah.”

Reaching such an answer, I frowned.
The fact that this girl reached such a hasty conclusion was disappointing.
Either way, such a confession would simply end when she regains sanity the next day and rejects me with a “As expected, it"s impossible” through the phone or something.

“Really, you"re making fun of me.”
“……no.”

Holding my head, I felt disgust at the field of flowers that my own head was filled with. Even for a moment, I misunderstood that I was loved.
Mai continued to wait for me while making a vacant expression. She experienced time literally stopping for her as she waited for the longest time for a reply to her confession.

“Well, whatever. If you want to confess, then I"ll prepare a suitable place for it.”
“……”

For the sake of retaliation, my head devised a plan.
I"ll give Mai the present of the best and worst confession.

Walking with Mai, who was still in her hypnotic trance, we arrived at a certain location.
It was Mai"s home. As I heard earlier, both of her parents were absent until the end of the year, so it was just perfect.
Upon entering the house and closing the door to Mai"s room with a thud, her hypnosis was released.

“Ah……”
“Love?”

Like that, I ruminated over the confession that had been mentioned earlier.
From that, Mai accepted the current situation up until now.
Right now, she had returned back to the moment when she had just given her confession.

“……yup.”
“With me, you say?”
“There"s no one else here, right?”

Mai directed a shy smile towards me, taking her distance perhaps as though to hide her embarra.s.sment.
I purposefully averted my gaze and displayed a dubious expression.

“Mai, what are you doing?”
“Because I confessed, it"s only natural that I have to do this.”

Mai placed her waist on top of her bed, closing her knees as she placed her hands inside her skirt.
After removing her panties, she fidgeted and rubbed her thighs for a while before slowly spreading them open.

“Its embarra.s.sing being seen so much.”
“Aah, I see. I"ve heard about this before. Before giving a reply-“
“Have s.e.x with me and check our compatibility with each other. Book, you"re too ignorant!”

It was fortunate that Mai wore a skirt despite her winter clothes being heavily layered. The gap of seeing a thickly covered girl"s genitalia was wonderful.
While fixedly peering into the flaunted insides of Mai"s skirt, I ended up smiling.

“Say, Book. That sort of thing doesn"t fit the ambiance.”
“Hm, aah, my bad. What should I do?”
“Hm, oh, geez. This sort of compatibility is something where you strive to act according to the situation at that place. I"ll obey Book"s instructions.”

Mai was awfully enthusiastic. Or rather, she probably wanted a good reply from me after having even better s.e.x.
Even though it was impulsive, the figure of her working so hard for my sake was unspeakably adorable.

“Then, let"s get right to it.”
“Wait a sec!”
“What?”
“Erm……see. I, I like you, Book.”

I see, since this also served as a confession, she arrived at the answer to confess while having s.e.x, huh?
While feeling happy at such a surprise, I also tried to put out a token amount of atmosphere.

I approached, bringing our faces close to each other that I could see myself reflected in Mai"s pupils.

“Why?”
“Hm~, I wonder? I haven"t thought that deeply about it.”

Gradually our lower bodies came into close contact, and I removed my pants.
Inserting my p.e.n.i.s inside of her skirt, I stroked Mai"s crotch with its tip.

“Hyah, somehow it kinda tickles……”
“Then you love me for no reason?”
“Hm~m, what do you want me to say? Then, first would be this, then.”

While showing a shy smile with an ‘ehehe", she stroked my cheek with her finger.
Like that, the tip of my p.e.n.i.s"s glans held in my left hand got caught against Mai"s v.a.g.i.n.a in a good way.

“Nngh……you see, Book, when you smile in front of people. You instantly try to hide it. When you do, your cheeks twitch like that.”
“……heeh.”
“But, you see, you don"t hide it that much when in front of me.”

Mai looked at me with an upward glance, as though she were peering into the depths of my heart.
Well, there were several times that I had let down my guard, huh? It"s just that I didn"t really intend on hiding my smile, though.
My p.e.n.i.s entered inside of Mai"s opened v.a.g.i.n.a. With a squelch, it invaded deeper into Mai, as though penetrating her muddy insides.

“How should I say this……nngh……even right now, hyah……I don"t really know what it means to be in love.”
“You don"t know?”
“Aah……! That"s, right. Other girls talk about who they like in the surroundings, but I didn"t find it that fun. I mean, when together with boys, I"m excessively cautious and I need to protect myself……”
“Protect yourself, is it?”

While shaking my hips, I pumped my p.e.n.i.s back and forth. While my glans stirred her v.a.g.i.n.a"s insides as though scooping them out, I confirmed Mai"s condition.
Originally our compatibility was good. Even so, I forcibly scooped her out, making sure that she still felt good.

“That"s whyy, I only talked about it, to the extent that I wouldn"t be disliked, aah!! Sometimes I was misunderstood, but with that I was able to maneuver around it……but, you see, Book is somehow different.”
“Different?”
“Hyahn! It"s not like I don"t have to be cautious, but, how should I say this? It"s like there"s no need to do it. And even if I do, it"s like there"s no point in it.”

Mai really is good at interpersonal relations, huh? Even though she couldn"t understand it, she was somehow able to discern that I was able to use some kind of power.
With regards to our current progress, Mai continued to be f.u.c.ked by me while unable to resist. Certainly, it"s foolish for her to simply be cautious.

“But, you see, upon thinking that, it became quite comfortable to be together with Book. Thinking this, it started showing a little bit during the summer.”

As though giving up upon knowing that she was unable to match me, the rationale that it couldn"t be helped conversely caused me to be reflected as a person who she could get along at ease with.
It was a method of forming human relations that was quite like Mai. This girl, who was smiling with blus.h.i.+ng cheeks, was followed by her original, stoic true nature.

“Then, see, I thought that it"d be okay to be together with you. Even though it"s unusual for a man, see……nngh, aaaah……!!”

Whatever the case, it was basically a process of elimination, huh?
I wasn"t shocked that I had been chosen in such a manner. Rather, being tied to a physical relations.h.i.+p in this fas.h.i.+on would become a contrivance that spiced things up.
Although it seemed that Mai sloppily and falteringly picked her words, I more or less understood what she was saying.

Deciding to f.u.c.k her until she becomes messed up, I pulled my hips back–

“Though saying it myself is kinda weird……I think that this sort of person will only appear at this moment in my entire life.”
“…………”
“That"s why, please go out with me……ah……”
“……haha.”

I pierced my p.e.n.i.s into Mai"s depths.
The h.o.r.n.y suggestion was administered even stronger, chipping away at Mai"s reason.
Mai"s eyes opened wide, and her expression which displayed that she still had allowances collapsed.

“Ah……gah……hyaaaaaaaaaaahhh!! Aah ah!!”
“Then what, are you saying I"m your fated person or something?”
“May……be!! aAAAH!! Somehow, that"s kinda embarra.s.si-kyaaAAAH!!!”

She really did well to arrange her words that far.
She probably thought of such a reason yesterday or today, though.
However, I wanted to break such a Mai"s sentiments, and so continued to f.u.c.k her as though staining a beautiful painting with black.

Mai"s body, perhaps having felt some sort of connection with me somewhere despite that, strongly tightened her v.a.g.i.n.a, her folds entertwining as though to stroke my p.e.n.i.s.
The entrance of Mai"s uterus, which had been pierced countless times, received the tip of my p.e.n.i.s as though accepting me.
It was strange. I could tell there was a difference in the v.a.g.i.n.a"s sensation just from a simple change in one"s feelings.

“That"s nice, our compatibility might be pretty good!”
“Hyaaaaaaaaahh, agah, AAaAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!! Hahih, hiah!”

Disregarding that service, I continued to ravage her as though I was trying to crush her.
I intended to break the v.a.g.i.n.a, which was moving as though to receive the onesided rape.

With her mouth still open, Mai repeatedly climaxed several times. The h.o.r.n.y suggestion continued to overlap countlessly, thinking that it should bestow upon her the best pleasure she was ever had up until now to the extent that we wouldn"t be able to tell our compatibility at all.
This was appropriate for the current her.
Such sense of conquest and some sort of emotions seemed like it would explode, and so I gathered such impulses into my p.e.n.i.s.

“Hey, properly confirm it!”
“Kyah, idd, feelzzz sho, guudd–kyaaaaaah!! Agagh……aggh-“

Mai"s scream broke off halfway. With her drool-spilling mouth still open, her neck ended up losing strength.
Apparently she fainted.
The next moment after realising that reality, s.e.m.e.n gushed out from my p.e.n.i.s.

“Agh……aah…………”
“So she came while fainted, huh?”

While raising a moan, Mai"s entire body convulsed with a twitch while in her fainted state.
The bed squeaked, and the pungent smell of man permeated into the place where she normally slept.

“How troublesome. If it"s like this, then you won"t hear my response even if I give it.”

I intentionally shrugged, taking my p.e.n.i.s out of her v.a.g.i.n.a.
Mai lost all support and fell on top of her bed. Because of having s.e.x, Mai"s body, that was lured by her lower body that spilled over her bed, dragged onto the floor.
It was almost akin to a carelessly treated toy falling from a shelf, an appearance that infered powerlessness.

“Now then, what shall I do next?”

The confession ended in the manner that I desired.
Next, as I intend on using Mai with the aim of enjoying myself, I should probably give her my reply.
