Chapter 61: Jinx
The Ferris wheel was gradually gaining altitude.
It’ll take a little longer to get to the top.
“Can I stay like this just a little while longer?”
Rei-san is still clinging to me, whispering into my ear.
Hot breath in my ear, tickling me.
I feel strange when I keep hugging Rei’s soft body and feeling its warmth.
The same is true for Rei, her cheeks are flushed and her eyes are moist as she gazes at me.
“It’s strange, isn’t it?”
Rei tweeted.
“Haruhi-kun and I never talked in the classroom until just a little while ago, but now…”
Rei looked down at her breasts.
I can imagine why you’ve been mumbling.
I think he’s ashamed.
“Right now, Haruki-kun and I are huddled together like this.”
“Yes, it is. But even though it’s strange, I don’t feel any different. It even feels more natural now that you’re doing this.”
“Yeah. I used to hate men. My mom and dad had an affair, and a lot of people were unhappy because of it, so I thought men, and love, was a dirty thing. But…”
Not anymore?
“Once I met Haruhi-kun, all that logic didn’t matter anymore.”
Rei-san nuzzled her face into my chest once more to hide her red face.
And then you ask me.
“Do you know about this, Haruhito? The Ferris wheel jinx.”
“Ferris wheel jinx? What’s that?”
“When the couple gets on the Ferris wheel and it comes to the top…”
Then Rei-san cut off the words.
Rei-san pulled away from me a little and cupped her breasts in her hands, looking lost and anxious.
What’s going on?
“What’s the rest of the story? What’s the jinx on the Ferris wheel?”
I’m not gonna tell you.
“Why?”
“Because…”
“Now that you put it that way, I’m even more curious.”
Do you really want to know?
I really need to know.
“I see.” and then she brought her face close to mine again.
I blushed when we came so close that our lips were almost touching or not.
Rei-san put her index finger on my lips and smiled.
Her smile was so bewitching that I felt my heart skip a beat.
The next moment, Rei’s index finger disappeared from in front of me, and instead, her soft and lush lips were touching my lips.
Rei-san leans on me as if she’s putting all her weight on me.
It’s as if everything in Rei’s body is mine.
I was completely lost in the sweet smell and warmth of Rei-san’s body.
There’s no one here but us.
Before I knew it, the Ferris wheel was at the top.
But neither Rei nor I saw anything outside.
Before I knew it, I was forcibly holding Rei in my arms.
Rei-san’s face turned red and she became smaller.
I’m sorry!
“… You could have kept going.”
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I mean, how could I…?”
“Don’t worry about it. I’m the one who made you do it.”
You said you had it made…
“The jinx on the Ferris wheel was that the couple who kissed at the top of the wheel would stay together forever.”
“Oh… I see…”
So that’s why Rei-san kissed me so forcefully.
Rei-san giggled, her face turning bright red.
“Not only did he kiss me, he hugged me.”
“… I’m sorry. I’ve kind of lost my mind…”
“But I guess I jinxed it.”
“Does that mean that Rei-san is with me…”
I want to be with you forever. If it’s with you… I don’t care what he does to me.
Uh, well…
Do you want to touch it?
Rei pointed at her breasts.
Rei-san’s voice burst out in happiness as she saw me flinch.
“You’re really cute, Haruki-kun.”
“I wish you wouldn’t tease me…”
“But it’s true that I want to be with you forever.”
Rei-san was laughing, but her eyes were looking at me seriously.
I nodded.
To do so, we need to do something about the problem of the House of Far-sightedness.
But what we need to do now.
It’s a date at the aquarium with Rei.
