Our task was to play a game of chase on the beach. With the setting sun shining on the beach, it did look like we should play a game of chase in this situation.
For the time being, asking Kuro to move a distance away before running, I then caught her at a reasonable spot.
[By the way, Kaito-kun?]
[Unnn?]
[Well, I'm fine doing what's in the instructions... but what's so amusing about this?]
[No, well, this is actually one of the ways to flirt with each other, and in the first place, this isn't really something you instruct people to do.]
I think Kuro's question is valid. No, I mean, in the first place, a game of chase on the beach somehow creates that atmosphere. Like, there's this flirty atmosphere around them while having fun. In any case, it's not something someone would instruct you to do.
And with the difference in physical ability, Kuro would just end up getting caught on purpose, so it wasn't surprising that she would question what was so interesting about this.
[...Well then, I guess it's time to finish things up here.]
[Whoa there.]
[Eh? Why did you avoid my hand?]
Hearing Kuro's words, I held out my hand to her, saying it was time we finished things up, but for some reason, she dodged.
[I'm not going to let you catch me like that. You gotta come at me like blam!]
[...Eh? You want me to hold you from behind?]
[I don't think I'll be caught by anything else~~]
[You're seriously gonna play it this way?]
[Ahaha.]
It seemed that trying to catch Kuro by the shoulder won't work, so as she requested, I caught her with a hug from behind. There was no problem in terms of speed because Kuro properly lowered her speed, but as expected, it's a little embarrassing.
Well, with her acting like this, it seemed that she wouldn't be caught by other methods, so making up my mind, I chased after her and hugged her from behind.
This is obvious, but Kuro was wearing a swimsuit, and I was also wearing a swimsuit, so our bare skin was in close contact and the smooth and soft feel made my heart skip a beat. However, because of the difference in our heights, when I hugged Kuro from behind, my arms ended up touching Kuro's chest, and feeling them makes me feel an indescribable embarrassment.
[Ehehe, I got caught.]
When I hugged her from behind, Kuro happily smiled and her innocent gesture made my heart flutter.
Anyway, this clears the beachside game of chase, and what follows next would be sitting down and watching the sunset...
[Now then, Kaito-kun. Come here!]
[Eh?]
Kuro, with a happy smile on her face, sat down first and tapped her own thighs, which I knew was her telling me to use her lap as a pillow. I understood that but...
[Eh? Didn't the instructions say sit down and watch the sunset?]
[Yeah, that was what was written, but when I analyzed the technique used in this room, as long as one of us sits down, it's considered a pass.]
[Ahh, I see.]
[Unnn. That's why I'll sit here, while Kaito-kun will lay on my lap... This makes it A-OK!]
It did look like she was thinking about something at that time, but she was analyzing the magic formula on the door huh... There she realized that the conditions for opening didn't necessarily include having both people sit down, so she came up with the idea of having me lay on her lap. That's why she had a mischievous smile at that time huh...
[Even if you know the conditions of this place... Why the lap pillow?]
[Because I want to!]
[Kuh, I wouldn't know how to react when you put it that way.]
It's difficult to refuse if Kuro asks me that so straightforwardly. No, it's not like I intended to refuse... Even so, compared to the usual lap pillow, a lap pillow while Kuro's in a swimsuit makes me lay directly on her skin, so this feels quite embarrassing...
[... T- Then, don't mind me taking you up on your offer.]
[Unnn, unnn. Go ahead~~]
Making up my mind, I slowly lowered my head onto Kuro's thighs. Since we hadn't swam in the sea yet, our bodies weren't wet. However, it's for that reason that I could clearly feel the warmth of Kuro's body.
The soft feel of her skin and the pleasant scent I smelled when I lay down. Kuro in a swimsuit with a happy expression on her face when I looked up... Even when I downplay it, I would still say this was the best, but doing that would just be embarrassing and I felt like my face was heating up.
[...How should I say this... Seems like you're having fun, Kuro.]
[Unnn. I really like having Kaito-kun on my lap. You know, it kinda makes me feel like you're there, you get what I mean?]
[W- Well, I guess... I certainly do feel like you're nearby?]
[Right? ...Come to think of it, this room didn't designate the time we should spend here, right?]
[Eh? Ahh, I certainly didn't see one...]
[Then, would you mind... if we stay here like this for a while longer?]
[No, I wouldn't mind.]
There's no way I could say no when she asks me like that. After hearing my words, Kuro happily smiled, and after lightly stroking my hair, she bent over.
I immediately understood Kuro's intentions, so closing my eyes, as if to entrust myself to the approaching Kuro... and immediately after, I felt a soft warmth on my lips.
