A long while later, the two finally separated.
"Haa… haa…"
Kitagawa Marin leaned weakly against Gojo Satoru's chest, breathing heavily, her lips wet and warm.
Her beautiful face was completely red, extending all the way to her ears. Her brown eyes were moist and hazy as she listened to his calm heartbeat.
Her real first kiss…had finally been taken away completely.
"G-Gojo-kun…"
Marin's voice trembled slightly as she slowly raised her head.
Then, noticing the smug smile on Gojo's face, she immediately puffed up her cheeks in embarrassment.
"That was way too...lewd, okay?! No next time!"
Gojo Satoru raised an eyebrow innocently. "Hm? But I was just researching."
"Research?!" Marin nearly exploded. "What kind of research needs that?!"
Gojo raised his hand to his chin, seriously. "Supplementary practical knowledge."
"…You sound like some suspicious university professor!"
Marin complained while covering her burning face with her beautiful hands.
Meanwhile, Gojo looked thoughtful as he looked at her hidden face, and her peeking lips.
Honestly speaking…while, it wasn't his first kiss, he was even more used to it, already because of Subaru and Shizuka but still...the kiss with Marin was....surprisingly addictive.
Just remembering the taste, ignite his hunger even more as he began to stare at her like she was his prey.
Seeing the increasingly dangerous look in Gojo's eyes, Marin immediately became alert.
"Nope!"
She jumped backward instantly from his lap, like a frightened cat.
"Absolutely no second round!" Marin said firmly as she hide her poor lips with her hand.
Gojo clicked his tongue regretfully.
"What a pity."
"Hmph!" Marin rolled her eyes at him beautifully as she secretly licks her lips, clearing it.
Then she hurriedly fixed her messy clothes and brushed down her wrinkled skirt while not minding his gaze completely.
The atmosphere in the room became strangely warm and awkward at the same time.
Gojo watched her quietly.
The usually energetic gyaru now looked unbelievably shy.
Honestly…pretty cute.
After calming herself down slightly, Marin finally regained enough courage to speak.
"I-I'm going back first."
She spoke quickly, almost as if afraid Gojo would stop her.
Then, before he could say anything, she hurried toward the door with quick steps.
Just before leaving, however, she paused slightly.
Opening the door halfway, she turned her head a little looking at Gojo through her shoulder.
Her golden hair swayed softly under the room light.
"…Good night, Gojo-kun."
Gojo smiled faintly while resting his chin against his hand. "Good night, Marin."
Click!
The door closed softly.
The room finally became quiet again.
Gojo remained silent for a few seconds before glancing toward his phone on the desk.
"Oh right."
He had completely forgotten about Nakano Nino.
"I will have to apologize to her later." He mutter to himself awkwardly.
Picking up the phone, he immediately noticed several unread messages waiting for him.
The newest message read:
"Sorry, my sisters suddenly barged into my room and started teasing me. Also, yes, this counts as a date! We're already dating anyway, right?"
Gojo blinked once. Then he laughed softly.
....
Meanwhile—
At the Nakano residence.
Nino was currently lying on her bed while watching a romance drama on television in her room.
Unfortunately, the more she watched, the more irritated she became!
On the screen, the female protagonist continued sacrificing herself endlessly for the cold and emotionally distant male lead.
Nino's eyebrow twitched violently.
"…What even is this garbage drama?"
She sat up immediately.
"The heroine is basically licking the hero's shoes at this point!"
"The guy treats her coldly, ignores her, acts indifferent, and she still chases after him nonstop?!"
Nino crossed her arms angrily.
"What kind of ridiculous love logic is that? If it were me, I would've punched him already!"
She continued ranting passionately toward the TV.
"There's no way girls like that actually exist in reality!"
Just then—
Ding!
Her phone lit up with the soft sound of the notification.
Nino instantly froze.
Before, she immediately grabbed the phone so fast as if she was scared it would flew off the bed.
After seeing that it was Gojo's reply, the irritation on her face vanished instantly.
Nino, who was overjoyed wanted to check his message instantly, but when she thought about how long it take for the other party to reply to her. She immediately tossed her phone aside in anger, puffing her cheeks as she muttered to herself.
"Hmph, after ignoring me for so long (one hour 47 minutes) did he expects me to reply in seconds like some easy girl!? I have pride too."
Her words sounded tough, but reality was a completely different story.
After a whole 5 minutes (yes, she was checking the time in the TV.)
Nino quietly picked her phone back up, flopped onto her bed, and kicked her legs in the air nonstop, as a bright smile bloomed unconsciously.
Gojo:"My bad, my bad~ Don't be angry, Nino-chan. Something came up on my side, and before I knew it, time had already passed. But honestly, after hearing you agreed to a date, there's no way I'd disappear on purpose....That'd be way too much of a waste..…Though judging from your scary messages earlier, I might still need to prepare for my execution tomorrow. >.< "
"…I knew it." She hugged her fav pillow proudly as she continue to stare dagger at the phone screen. The message reflecting in her eyes. "Hehe, there's no way Gojo-kun would get scared just because I called it a date!"
Then she quickly typed another message.
"That will depend on your performance~ Oh, and I just went downstairs to get snacks earlier, so I didn't see your message. Since we're already going out tomorrow, should we go to the beach afterward?"
After sending the fake excuse for not replying in one second, Nino bit her lip slightly.
Then—Almost instantly,
Ting!
A reply came back.
Gojo: "You're buying a swimsuit specifically for tomorrow?"
Nino's face reddened a little, as her thumbs move quickly over the touch screen.
"Not specifically! I just wanted a new swimsuit in advance. Last year's one was too...tight.. and the color didn't suit me much. This time I want something better…"
After hesitating for a moment, she typed another line carefully.
"Of course… if you want to see me wearing it…"
Nino immediately buried her face in the pillow after sending it and began screaming.
"Ahhhhh!"
Too embarrassing!
A few seconds later, another message arrived.
Ting!
Nino slowly turn her head as she looked at the new text.
Gojo:"Then let's save the beach for next time. I'll reserve the entire area beforehand."
Nino's eyes widened as she turn her whole body, phone high in air as she read the message again and again to be sure.
"Reserve the entire beach?!"
That would cost an insane amount of money.
But somehow…thinking that Gojo was the one who said it for her sake made her heart beat wildly.
For years, the Nakano sisters had always worn relatively conservative swimsuits.
{T/N: I remember the Five sister, always attending female only academy, so I don't know about it. And I am also not sure if Ichika have started modelling yet....it doesn't look like it though }
Especially because they hated the idea of some random person staring at there body.
Back then, Ichika once wanted to buy a more fashionable swimsuit — But one look from others completely shut that idea down. (Guess how fashionable it would be~~)
In Nino's opinion, neither she nor her sisters should casually let strangers take advantage of them visually.
Still…if it was Gojo Satoru…
Maybe it wasn't so bad.
Ting!
Before Nino could continued smiling at the thought, another message appeared.
Gojo: "I'm getting sleepy 😴. You sleep early too. I'll pick you up around nine or ten tomorrow morning, ok?"
Nino immediately typed back: "Yes, that is fine. Good night, Gojo-kun."
A few seconds later—
Ting!
Gojo: "Good night."
Nino hugged her pillow again, tightly after reading it.
Her smile never disappeared for the rest of the night.
…
The next morning.
8:30 AM.
Inside the Gojo residence.
The dining table was unusually lively today.
Gojo Satoru sat casually at the head of the table while drinking coffee.
Beside him sat were Benio Adashino, Shirakawa Shiroha, Kitagawa Marin, and Umaru Gojo.
Meanwhile, Kinako was happily eating snacks nearby in her fox form.
Even Umaru had finally stopped hiding herself after knowing that Marin and Shiroha had already learned about Gojo's identity as an Exorcist.
Now she could openly stay around the house without worrying anymore.
The atmosphere felt strangely warm.
After finishing another sip of coffee, Gojo casually spoke.
"I'm going out today."
Immediately, four pairs of eyes turned toward him sharply.
Gojo paused, as he glance at them.
"…What?"
Benio narrowed her eyes slightly, as she repeated his words. "Going out?"
Marin stare at him before quietly looked away while pretending not to care.
Shiroha silently drank tea, her eyes closed.
While the other girls were behaving like a mature lady, Umaru instead pointed dramatically at her older brother.
"Onii-chan!" Her dark circles from all-night gaming looked even heavier than usual as she accused him emotionally. "You're going out with another girl again, aren't you?!"
Headshot!
Gojo actually looked slightly surprised. '…How are you this accurate?'
But naturally, he would never admit it openly, that is simply an invitation for all night (or day) interrogation!
He placed his coffee cup down calmly. "You're overthinking things. Do I really look like the type of person who casually goes out with girls?"
"...." x4
Their stare were that deadly that Gojo subconsciously activate his [Limitless] and [Veil of Nothingness] for extra caution.
Before, he could secretly sigh in relief.
"YES! ×4"
Four female voices answered simultaneously.
Gojo's face twitch as he seriously consider if the [Veil of Nothingness] is broken.....
Even Kinako was looking at him suspiciously now!
Gojo chose the wise option— Ignore everything.
Standing up from the table, he stretched lazily not minding the hurtful stare that was still on him.
"I'm full. I'll head out first, Bye~Bye~"
He walked toward the entrance while casually putting on his shoes, with the whole intention of not wanting to look the scene behind him.
Click!
The front door closed.
The living room immediately fell into silence as soon as the most annoying person left the room.
A few seconds later,
Benio Adashino crossed her arms thoughtfully as she glance at the peoples on the table.
"…So. Which girl is it this time?"
And just like that the four girls entered deep discussion mode instantly.
.....
Meanwhile—
Outside the house.
Achoo!
Gojo Satoru sneezed suddenly.
"…Hm?" He rubbed his nose lazily, "They are definitely talking behind my back."
