Not knowing what Seven Seas Mami had in mind, Kinoshita Kazuya watched her eyelashes flutter slightly, and he surrendered to the expectant gaze.
It wasn't like he had any strange thoughts about her luscious lips!
"I understand," Kazuya replied helplessly.
He bit the other end of the Pocky stick and closed his eyes first, looking at Mami's unreadable big eyes.
“Click”
“Click”
“Click”...
The chocolate stick slowly shrunk.
Kinoshita Kazuya opened his eyes again when there was half left.
Seven Seas Mami also closed her eyes, but the length of the chocolate stick continued to shorten with each click.
Finally, there was about 3 cm left.
Kinoshita Kazuya and Seven Seas Mami both opened their eyes.
That's enough, thought Kinoshita Kazuya, and he signaled Seven Seas Mami with his dodging eyes that it was enough.
2 cm.
Seven Seas Mami didn't respond.
Kinoshita Kazuya: That's enough, if you wait any longer, you'll just give up.
1 cm.
Just as Kinoshita Kazuya was about to give up, Seven Seas Mami unexpectedly kissed him.
Feeling the softness of her lips, Kinoshita Kazuya looked down.
Mami's golden hair was flushed with a hint of red, her eyes were moist and watery, misty and blurry.
He didn't know what brand of lip balm she used, but her pink lips were like delicious jelly, exuding an alluring appetite, no matter how much he ate, it wasn't enough.
Seconds, tens of seconds, minutes, time was unclear in the ambiguous atmosphere!
"Mami?" Everyone around, whether seniors or classmates, was stunned by Seven Seas Mami's over-active approach towards her ex-boyfriend, Kinoshita Kazuya.
Hearing the voice of her companions beside her, Seven Seas Mami let go of Kazuya's arm behind her.
"Mami?"
Kazuya felt a bit complicated about giving his first kiss after transmigration to Mami.
On the one hand, he thought it wouldn't be bad to date Seven Seas Mami in the future, but on the other hand, could he really be sure that Seven Seas Mami was the one he wanted to like?
"Kazuya, what's wrong?" Seven Seas Mami tried to act like nothing had happened, but the blush on her ears betrayed her.
Mami smiled at Kinoshita Kazuya with a peach-red smile.
"Sorry, I'll go to the bathroom to touch up my makeup first, you guys continue to have fun."
Seven Seas Mami, what a bad woman.
She teased him and ran away, there wasn't such a good thing, just wait!
Kinoshita Kazuya, his hunting desire was ignited by her!
Seeing Kinoshita Kazuya being played around by the high-level 'bad woman' Seven Seas Mami, as his best friend, he couldn't stand it, so Kobo Fumura took action...
Seeing the inquisitive gazes of the people around him, Kinoshita Kazuya didn't want to explain so much.
"Sorry, I'm a little tired." Kinoshita Kazuya yawned: "I'll go back to the hotel to take a nap, you guys continue to have fun."
"Kazuya..." Even the call of his best friend couldn't stop the awkwardness in Kazuya's heart.
Kazuya turned around and left.
"By the way... Mami, don't play that Pocky game again, OK?"
"Of course, Ko, I'm not interested in this game either."
Seven Seas Mami's expression didn't change, she acted more calm than usual about the public kiss, but her sunny smile was still as sweet as honey.
...
After that.
"Mami-chan, there's something I want to tell you."
Kobo Fumura invited Seven Seas Mami to talk privately with a serious expression.
"What is it? Kobo."
Seven Seas Mami had a nonchalant, radiant smile.
"Mami-chan, can you please stop playing this ambiguous game with Kazuya?" Kobo didn't know how to intervene in his best friend's relationship, but: "You know Kazuya is very clumsy, he's easily misunderstood."
"What are you talking about? I don't understand." Seven Seas Mami didn't want to say anything more about Kobo interrupting her fun, just her attitude became cold.
"Kazuya is someone who easily gets serious about relationships." Kobo organized his words: "Even though he has changed a lot recently, this is still the same."
"If you just want to play with him, it's best not to go look for Kazuya anymore."
That's what friends are for, even if they do something that makes him hate them, as long as it's good for him, it's alright for him to be hated for a while.
"I understand, Kobo-kun." Seven Seas Mami looked at Kobo who was standing up for Kazuya in surprise: "I don't plan to play with Kazuya this time, is that alright?"
"I'm sorry, Mami-chan, I said something unnecessary." Kobo was a bit embarrassed about his tough attitude towards Mami, who was a girl.
"This is a matter between me and Ko." Seven Seas Mami crossed her arms: "And, don't do anything unnecessary anymore."
"...Yes."
Kobo didn't expect Seven Seas Mami's serious expression to be so intimidating.
...
After lunch break, Kinoshita Kazuya walked out of the hotel.
He saw Kobo sitting alone in the lobby.
"Yo, Kobo." Kazuya greeted him.
"Ko, are you really going to start over with Seven Seas Mami?" Kobo Fumura looked at Kinoshita Kazuya with suspicion, after all, the original Ko's unreliable impression was too deep.
"How should I say it? It's not so much starting over, as it is starting from scratch." Kazuya also guessed a bit that as his best friend, Kobo must have some thoughts about his feelings.
"By the way, this is for you." Kobo took out two boat tickets: "I just bought them from the convenience store, I thought you definitely needed them."
Looking at Kobo Fumura's concerned face, Kazuya felt that having such a friend was really good.
"Thanks, how much is it?" Kazuya didn't plan to accept it so easily: "These tickets are a bit expensive, aren't they?"
"No need, this is the least I can do." Kobo smiled with a carefree look: "Besides, if you two break up again later, you can still find me and Oguri to have a drink together.
"I understand, friend!" Kazuya accepted them and returned a radiant smile: "Also, we won't break up anymore."
Kazuya had confidence in himself, he was no longer ordinary!
...
Walking out of the hotel.
The afternoon sun was still hot.
Kazuya saw Minamoto Chizuru leaning against a table provided outside the hotel.
"Ichinose-san, your face is red, are you okay?"
Minamoto Chizuru felt a little unwell, her body was hot, so she was resting alone under the umbrella.
"Oh, it's Kinoshita-kun, I'm fine?" Minamoto Chizuru's reply was listless.
But she still forced herself: "You go have fun by yourself, I'll just rest for a while."
Although Minamoto Chizuru didn't look very good, she was just a bit uncomfortable, and she had no problem with her mobility.
"Well, if you need any help, just say so, and, do you want to ask your friend to take care of you."
"No need, I'll just go back to my room to rest, thank you for your concern."
Minamoto Chizuru stood up, frowning slightly as she walked slowly back to the hotel.
Forget it, he can't do anything more!
Kinoshita Kazuya shook his head.
