Chapter 19 - Punishment~

The surrounding streets near the school were filled with various businesses. Satoru and Mirai found a coffee shop and requested a private room.

Mirai sat obediently, holding the hem of her shirt, keeping her head down in silence. The anger and despair she felt upon realizing her misunderstanding of him had disappeared. It was replaced by a sense of guilt and self-blame, turning her into a submissive little kitten.

"Miyano-san, look at me!" Satoru's expression was serious, his words heavy.

He needed to take this opportunity to straighten things out with her. He had to address both the root cause and the immediate situation.

"Are we friends? What do you think?" he asked.

Mirai nodded nervously. He seemed angry and upset, but it was for her own good. This made her feel a mix of guilt, self-reproach, fear, and a hint of excitement.

"If that's the case, why are you unwilling to accept my help? It seems like you don't like Miura-san either." Satoru's tone softened.

"Miura-san doesn't like me, and her friends don't like me either." Mirai replied.

"Yagami-kun doesn't need to go through all this trouble. Today at noon, you both went to the rooftop together. After Miura came back, she even boasted to her friends, making it seem like she had achieved something..." Souko muttered while keeping her head down.

"There's no need for you to suffer for my sake. If it were for your benefit, she would have agreed without hesitation. But if it's for my sake, I'm sure Yagami-kun has put in some price..." she observed, seeing things clearly.

Satoru chuckled and waved her over, gesturing for her to come closer.

Mirai hesitated but then, after he patted his thigh, she bit her lip, blushing, and adjusted her skirt before sitting down. However, she didn't dare sit too close.

"If it were something else, I wouldn't bother, but this issue greatly affects your daily life and studies. Don't you know how much it pains me?" Satoru said, his breath warm.

"If you feel that I've put in effort, then you can repay me~" he continued, feeling the texture of her thighs wrapped in pantyhose. They felt smooth and warm~

"I'm used to it..." she said, feeling his gentle caresses gradually evolving into playful touches on her stockings, her breath turning hot.

"I'm not used to it, and I won't get used to it!" he replied.

"Anyway, listen to me, understand? Otherwise, I might just strip you right here..." 

"I..." Her body trembled, tensing up as scenes from his words filled her mind.

Satoru intended to make her more obedient and also wanted to slightly reveal his views on love. He didn't want to end up with someone possessive, which would only lead to more trouble.

If one were to carefully analyze the situation, Miyano Mirai was actually a good subject for training. She already had a leaning towards being an "s", but her current circumstances were not ideal. She relied heavily on Satoru, and it felt like there was enough material to create a related galgame if necessary.

"Oh, and... were you jealous just now?" Satoru gently lifted her skirt and lightly tapped her.

"Yagami-kun..." Mirai's voice trembled and changed.

Even though there were stockings and other coverings to hide and restrain, her heart was already hanging in the air. The feeling of her true thoughts being exposed to the open air was truly embarrassing and overwhelming.

[Persuasive Argument]

"I'm very unhappy with what you said earlier, 'I don't need help.' What does that make me in your eyes? It's a punishment for you."

Whispering by her ear, Satoru said, "Endure it."

That's how it was - under the guise of doing good for her, making her accept joyfully, while at the same time accepting "punishment" and domination.

Satoru felt like he had an extraordinary talent. It seemed he quickly grasped something from the PUA guide he hastily searched for last night when he couldn't sleep.

Mirai trembled and responded with closed eyes, her cheeks burning hot.

Even though there was no one else present, and the "punishment" took place in a location under the table that even the monitoring couldn't see, it still made her blush, her heart race, and her body weaken. After all, this scene had only appeared in her dreams before, and the person involved was him!!!
