During the office renovation, the previously installed surveillance cameras had been removed - the only good deed Nagumo Miyabi had ever done.
Therefore, Kaoru could now hold her boldly in his arms, enjoying the girl's unique softness.
On such a spring-filled day, he couldn't bear to let her go.
Akane sat on his lap, her chin resting on his shoulder, breathing in his masculine scent that filled her with warmth.
Her body melted softly into his embrace, the earlier activities having drained most of her strength, leaving her capable only of faint murmurs.
"Stay with me these few days?"
Kaoru took a deep breath, sensing Akane's attachment to him. Since they had crossed that final boundary, she had frequently clung to him.
More importantly, no girl would willingly degrade herself like this.
Akane had been constantly fulfilling his desires, probably thinking their time together was limited, which was why she responded to him every time.
"No way."
Akane muttered softly, "Do you think I'm a little girl? We're only separating briefly, it's not like we'll never see each other again."
Though she had been the worried one earlier, now that Kaoru showed concern for her, she felt somewhat embarrassed, not wanting to appear vulnerable before him.
Kaoru truly felt he needed to cure her stubborn mouth.
He grabbed her and kissed her deeply.
The method seemed effective!
Though Akane struggled briefly, she soon gave up resistance, pitifully accepting Kaoru's "lesson."
"Heh, you're so cute, senpai. Do you really think I'd let you go?"
Kaoru whispered, "These next few days, your responsibility is to satisfy me."
Akane only felt her entire body burning, her limbs soft and weak.
Her white teeth lightly bit her rosy lips, her eyes veiled with thick shame.
Her breathing grew rapid, warm puffs of air spraying against his earlobe.
Their positions remained intimately close - Kaoru holding her tightly while she sat in his embrace, completely unable to escape his grasp.
At this moment, Tachibana Akane could feel something swelling within her.
Her heart was beating fiercely, her eyelashes fluttering lightly as she dared not meet Kaoru's gaze, her thoughts in disarray.
Kaoru lifted the girl into his arms. Instinctively, she hooked her hands around his neck, immediately flustered.
"W-wait, what are you trying to do now?"
"Nothing much. I noticed my senpai seemed distracted and wanted to help you recall something."
"Pervert! Put me down right now!"
Not daring to struggle too hard, Tachibana Akane could only let him hold her, her face completely flushed.
She felt both embarrassed and angry, yet somewhat grateful that today was graduation ceremony day—no one would pay attention to this area.
The Student Council—no, the entire building—should only have her and Kaoru at this moment.
The teachers' office downstairs had already locked its doors, and likely no teachers would return.
Still, being treated like this on the verge of graduation made Tachibana Akane somewhat resentful, even though she knew his intentions were good.
Soon, Kaoru set her down, though she struggled to stand steadily.
"Even if you beg me, I won't live with you."
Tachibana Akane put on a fierce expression, "You didn't know how to cherish things before—it's too late now, you small fry!"
Kaoru raised an eyebrow: "Do you need a spanking?"
Tachibana Akane hurriedly covered her petite bottom, but before she could escape, Kaoru had already grabbed her hands, turned her around, and pressed her against the desk.
"Can't you stop being so stubborn?"
Kaoru felt like pinching her cheeks, "Spring Break is only a few days. I can stay with you, just the two of us."
Tachibana Akane, who had been about to bite him, stopped her movement.
He then released her hands, simply holding her slender waist gently.
"I... I... I know!"
Tachibana Akane thought to herself, thankful he couldn't see her expression now, "But if I keep being with you, I'll really find it hard to leave."
The girl worried that spending every day with Kaoru would make her too attached, not even daring to imagine how she'd feel when the day to part finally arrived.
Kaoru paused slightly: "You're not thinking of sneaking away someday, are you?"
"N-no, I'm not!"
Tachibana Akane immediately denied it, but as the desk began to shake, she had to admit.
"Alright, alright, I did think about it!"
Kaoru fell silent.
His reaction made Tachibana Akane extremely nervous, and having been standing on her toes for so long, she had to grip the edge of the desk tightly, nearly in tears.
"I... I just thought it would be better this way. You wouldn't want to see a girl cry, right?"
Tachibana Akane tried to justify herself, biting her lip firmly.
Soon, Tachibana Akane felt the whole world grow quiet, a familiar sensation flowing through her entire body.
She saw a beam of sunlight filtering through the curtains outside, carrying the rich essence of spring, flooding her vision.
She'd actually forgotten to close the window!
Tachibana Akane wanted to cover her pretty face, then felt somewhat angry—if she were still in the Student Council, she'd never forget to close the windows.
These new students really couldn't be relied on!
"Senpai, let's make a promise."
Kaoru seemed to have regained his composure.
"What promise?" Akane felt rather sulky and didn't want to pay this person any mind.
She had chosen to leave without saying goodbye out of concern, yet he hadn't listened to a word she said at all.
"At most six months." Kaoru said, "After six months, I can meet you anytime."
Akane was taken aback.
Her first thought was that he must be joking.
The school allowing him to go out was already unprecedented—how could he even think about leaving whenever he wanted?
Even the teachers couldn't do that!
"If I fail, senpai can ask me to do anything."
Kaoru had seen through her thoughts.
Akane suddenly grew wary.
He was the first student permitted to leave campus—perhaps he really had some method.
"Ahem, if—I mean, hypothetically—you could actually do it, what would you want me to do?"
Only a fool would agree right away, and Akane was no fool.
She suspected Kaoru might have ulterior motives.
"Nothing." Kaoru smiled. "If I can do it, I just want senpai to spend some time with me when you're free."
Akane felt her heart stir intensely.
This person cared deeply about her feelings—his goal was simply to have more time together.
"That's... so sneaky."
Akane slumped over the desk, hiding her expression from him, trying hard to keep it concealed.
"You're just a mediocre underclassman... Why say things like that... You idiot, always thinking about girls!"
"So, shall we make a promise?" Kaoru asked.
Akane hurriedly wiped her tears, turned around, and pointed a stern finger at Kaoru.
"You... you'd better keep your word, or I'll make you do something really perverted!"
"That day will never come."
Kaoru hooked his finger with hers.
"Hmph, a pinky promise is forever. Break it, and you're a dog."
Akane grumbled for a while.
When Kaoru tried to let go of her finger, she grabbed his hand instead.
Putting on a brave face to hide her shyness, she whispered, "One more time... You can do this to me as many times as you want..."
Kaoru could bear it no longer.
He simply tossed her onto the sofa and grabbed her legs.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Akane blushed. "I was just joking, you foot fetishist!"
Soon, the girl's small feet were dangling in the air.
