THE EX
“Naghh?!”
“Out with it,” says Ginko in a low, intimidating voice as she drives her thumbs into my throat to begin the interrogation. “How far did you go with your ex?”
“M-My …… ex ……?”
“Ika Sainokami. Don’t play dumb, not after what just happened.”
“I told you we never dated, didn’t I?! She and I …… Ungh! J- …… Just played a bit of Shogi …… I swear ……!!”
“In a karaoke box, just the two of you, wasn’t it? You can’t expect me to believe that a wild beast of a girl like her would be satisfied with just a bit Shogi in that situation?”
Empress Ika Sainokami is a Women’s League player my age who’s registered in Kanto.
She came on to me at the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, but I made it clear that I wasn’t interested. She even showed up at my apartment completely naked, but I didn’t put a finger on her. How could I? I was too terrified to go anywhere near her!
“Out with it. Every single detail.”
But Ginko doesn’t believe anything I say. Has she been suspicious of Ika and I this whole time ……? Is it because she feels threatened by Ika’s talent?
I thought that that feeling of inferiority would go away once she made it to the pros ……
Ginko tightens her already suffocating grip as her fingers bury themselves even deeper into my throat. I’m dying, I’m dying!
“Did you put the moves on her? Or …… did she put the moves on you?”
“………………!!”
The nurse call button is …… Dammit! Just out of reach!!
I thought I was attacking the anaguma, but …… I’m getting attacked ……?! That’s a losing sequence every time ……!! My attack …… My air is …… getting cut off …………!!
“N-Nothing …… happened ……! Really ……!”
“……………………………………………… Then, how ……?”
Suddenly not so sure of herself, Ginko stutters as she mumbles her way through a question.
“H-How are you ………… so good at doing …… that ……?”
In that moment the reason she suspects Ika and I finally clicks.
So that’s what’s been bothering her ……
Ginko’s fingers let up ever so slightly and I take in a big lungful of fresh air as I explain.
“Th-This stuff comes up a lot when it’s just guys hanging out. Manly stories, dirty jokes …… customers at the classroom say a lot when they’re drunk. And–––.”
If I open up too much and say, I saw it in videos, she’ll demand that I show her the videos, and then when hot women with boobs the size of Keika’s show up, she’ll put a pike through my head for sure. That’s an easy three-step checkmate. There’d be no escape.
I need to get her off the trail, now!
“And–––I learned about it in school.”
“…… School?”
“Yes. You know how boys and girls are separated for health class? Boys are taught not to force things in bed and how to lead the right way. Didn’t girls get the same speech?”
“……………”
“Oh, that’s right. You didn’t go to school very often, so you probably missed that class. That’s why you didn’t know this kind of basic stuff ……”
“O-Of course I know! It’s common sense! I’m not an idiot!”
She is, for sure.
“…………… Anyway, don’t think you have a free pass just because you’re my boyfriend now. That kind of thing ……… comes ………… later ……………”
“Later? How many weeks are you talking–––?”
“S-Shut up! No means no! Drop dead, Perv King!!”
“Yeah, yeah.”
Snow White kicks me off the bed and curls up in the blanket. My attack on the anaguma has failed.
After we became official, I thought I’d never have to hear her call me Loli King again, but now I’m the Perv King …… Oh well. She’s adorable, so I’ll give her a pass.
“I can wait, no problem. We can wait until after were married, if that’s what you want.”
“……………!!”
“I would like an even number of kids so we can hold our own family Shogi tournaments, though.”
“…… …… ……………!!”
She’s squirming. Naniwa’s Snow White starts fluttering her legs under the blanket.
Now is the time to take it slow. The one step too far, and we won’t be able to go back to the perfect spot we’re in now.
After all, Ginko and I will never lose each other again.
