Chapter 51 - THE ANSWER!

An intimidated Kyouko-san was sitting still, frozen in her place, as I whispered those words. Sweat started to drip down her face. Well, wasn't that quite a bold move from me? My goodness. I wonder if she's scared of me now? Well, that would be quite a disappointment if things turned out like that.

Well, firstly this position was very weird and especially invigorating. Secondly, there was a dynamite of a woman in front of me. Thirdly, I'm not a good guy to just back off. Well, Miss Kyouko-san, please, save yourself from my clutches. 'Cause, I'm in no position to.

Kyouko-san took her time to process what was going on. She did have a lot of stuff to take into. But the most important thing is, right now, what kind of woman is she now? Was she the feisty, ferocious woman, or a defenseless woman? Because that would change the whole context of what was to follow next.

Oddly enough, I was enjoying this side of Kyouko-san. Do I like her? Nope. Then what is it that I'm enjoying about, in this tense situation? Well, I feel high and mighty after overpowering such a person in front of me.

Minutes passed by until finally...Kyouko-san regained her composure and pounced on me, pushing me on my back, and now she was on top of me. She crept forward and was closer to me. I was caught off-guard by this sudden transition, that I didn't fight back, and just watched on for what she was up to.

"All this talk, and yet you don't try to fight back or make a move. I find it hard to take your words, Nao!"

"Well, as far as I'm concerned, I'm quite enjoying this. Normally, you don't talk much with me, always keeping yourself busy and pushing me closer to Hina. So this is a nice change of pace for once, to have an honest conversation with you, even if it means this is how it is. Plus, not many guys get the chance of being in this situation, especially with a beautiful, older single mother."

"I do like straightforward, obedient, and honest men."

"Guessing your ex had none of that."

"Shut up, unless you want to end up in a grave!"

"Damn, you're quite unforgiving, while almost giving a teen a hard-on!"

"Almost?"

She realized the situation we were in, and instead of retracting away as one would do, she had a mischievous smile. She moved even closer to me and started to lick around my jawline.

"Oi!"

"Sssshhh!!!"

She placed her finger on my lip.

She slowly started to move her finger around my cheek. Guessing this is payback for earlier. She wasn't satisfied till that point, so she proceeded even further. She slid her finger slowly down from my chin to my chest and then near my stomach. Woah, stop right there! I ain't ready for what's to happen next! Just kidding, there's no way she would do something so bold. Obviously, in such a huge world, especially of her kind, she would have bet men better than me in every aspect. If none of them even interested her, then there's no way for me to...Oi, wait! What was she even planning on doing now?

She started to unbutton my shirt and pulled it out completely.

"Woah, what are you planning to do?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

She's going for it!!! She's definitely going for the kiss!

WE DID IT!!!

That's what I wanted to say, but that wasn't the case.

"Argh, what was that?"

She bit me hard near my collar bone. And to follow that up, she licked me gently.

"Hmm, that felt good."

"Felt good, you just bit me."

"Isn't that what girls do these days?"

"HUH?!"

Do they? How would I know? Not like I'm dating one...Oh, never mind! I wouldn't want to invoke the wrath of all the single men out there in this huge world. I already have enough foes living on my head rent-free. Wouldn't want to increase it any further.

"I mean, isn't this the way they mark their man?"

"Mark their man?"

"Yeah, what's it called again..."

"Ah, you mean Hickey?"

"Yes! That's it."

"Well, the fact that you couldn't even remember that just shows your age."

Agh!!!

She started pinching my hip hard.

"Well, I hope that you've learned your lesson."

"Alright, please spare me from your vice-grip."

"There, that's better."

Finally.

"But still, what's with you, giving me your affection all of a sudden."

"Well, you seem to be my type, so I jumped in a bit. Oops! Tee-hee"

She hit her head while winking with her eye and keeping her tongue out, like a cute anime girl. Stop it! It only makes you even cuter, as if you weren't cute already.

"You're quite the scary woman!"

"Aww, thanks!"

"So, what's the deal?"

"Hmm?"

"I mean what is it that you want, 'cause I have the whole day to play with you if you don't have anything to say."

"Well, sadly I don't think I'm that interested in your offer right now. I'd like to take it up some other time."

"Hmph!"

She pouted. As I said, you're already cute...Ugh! Never mind. I see where Hina gets all that cuteness from.

"I haven't done this with any other man."

"I know, but I also know that you aren't serious. Because you see a part of yourself in that situation, and how you'd end up corrupting me, alongside tarnishing the relationship we 3 share now, going to the point of no return."

"You're quite smart and mature, to compliment to your decently good looks. People around your age are just sometimes dumb."

"I ain't any better. It's just I had a good teacher."

"Your teacher taught you well."

"Yeah, she did."

"Anyway, we're 2 years too early to do it, so for now settle with this."

She kissed me out of nowhere, and then rubbed my hair.

Well, that was my first kiss in quite a while.

"Why don't you keep that man-bun, it looks good."

"I'd like to have a bit of narrow vision than see and observe around me all the time."

"Hmm...is that so?"

"Yes."

She finally got up and moved away from me, while I got up to put on my shirt. I looked at the mirror. Damn! She indeed was a wolf!

"Well, you better cover it, before you start giving people the wrong idea."

"And whose fault is it?"

I stared at her, with an annoyed face.

"Ok, so where do you want me to start from?"

"Everything. Tell me everything."

"It's going to take a while."

"I have all the time I need."

"Alright, strap in yourself for the ride."

We were in her office for the entire day. The amount of stuff I learned from her was surprising, to lay the least. I had a rough idea about what the case was. But it was soon scrapped away. And the number of trivial details I had insight on now, it was a tricky dilemma for me. That being said, there was one good thing from this meeting.

I thanked Kyouko-san for this hospitality, and also for the lunch and snacks that were arranged for us both. I started going back home, and while crossing a skywalk, I stopped and looked at the night sky filled with lights, with a grim expression on my face.

I got my answer.

I CAN SAVE HINA NOW...ONLY BY DESTROYING HER!
