“The gracious and merciful Father sent the Holy Spirit to reconcile the world with You through the death and resurrection of the Son, and to forgive sins. Through the ministry of the Church, may You grant this Sister forgiveness and peace. I too forgive this Sister’s sins in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.”
…I never dreamed I’d actually go to confession in my life.
In fact, I had bigger thoughts about whether it was a proper confession at all.
A confession is about repenting for sins and promising not to commit them again, isn’t it?
Honestly, the things I confessed that I could call real sins didn’t even require a thought about not doing them again.
Just because I made one confession doesn’t mean I’m suddenly going to flip and tell Hina and Haruna, “This relationship is wrong. Only my pure love for Nagisa is the future.” That would be a joke.
My main goal is to make my kids happy—how could I possibly give that up?
On a different note, when I first heard the voice of the Sister giving confession, I thought, “Oh, this must be Mari,” so I ended up speaking playfully on purpose. Who wouldn’t be curious about the lewd nun’s reaction?
If someone were to say that making light of something as important as confession is blasphemy, well… I can’t really deny that, can I?
After finishing confession, I was given the penance of charity—meaning to donate and restrain my desires, but…
I really don’t think Nagisa is going to let me off that easily…?
Anyway, not long after I stepped out of the confession booth, Mari also came out. When she saw me, she jumped back in surprise.
“Ah, ah…? T-party Host…?”
“Heueng. You know, huh, Mari-chan?”
“…Do you know me? How?”
“Well, I was the one who selected the new student representative. I wasn’t the one giving the speech at the entrance ceremony, but I did attend the ceremony itself.”
“Ah…”
Mari, who had been staring blankly at me, suddenly sprang back to life. I wondered why, but…
“So, one of your lovers is indeed the infamous Student Council President of Gehenna…? You never had any intention of repenting from the start, did you?”
“Hmm… It’s not that I didn’t want to; it was my first time doing confession, so I just blurted out what came to mind.”
“The host of the Trinity T-party is a truly unruly person… I can hardly contain my shock. This can’t be tolerated!”
“Heueng?”
“I’ll make sure to help Sister repent and lead her into the light. Definitely…!”
Wait, my sins caused even the gentle Mari to declare she’d fix me?
“Hmm. But how?”
“That, I will think about starting now, T-party Host…”
“Honestly, that title is too long. Just call me by my name, okay?☆”
“Then, Misono Sister… Love is inherently a noble thing. Right now, Sister, you are mistaking your twisted desires for love.”
“Ah…?”
“I will assist you in opening your eyes to true love… Please come and see me every week on this day, at this time, during Mass.”
“Uh, hmm. That might really be difficult.”
“…I won’t accept any objections. Then, may grace be with you today as well. I wish you a wonderful day.”
With a polite bow, Mari departed with graceful steps. Why is it turning out like this?

The preparations for the idol project were slowly coming to an end. Just today, the recording process was finalized, so we’re really in the clear now. There were still a few things left to do, but most of the groundwork was laid, so we just need to reap the rewards.
After finishing up work at D.U. and returning to Trinity, as soon as I opened the front door, someone slammed into me.
“…Nagisa-chan?”
“Suuuh… Hah.”
“Um, that was a bit too pervy; it made me feel weird.”
“…Why did you just wash up?”
“Nagisa-chan? That really felt quite pervy.”
“Shut it already, your words are too much. Just skip dinner tonight.”
Even though she sounded annoyed, Nagisa’s hands showed no sign of letting go of me. It didn’t take me long to realize the reason for Nagisa’s behavior after some careful thought; counting the days gave me the answer.
I experienced similar things monthly, so she certainly couldn’t have missed that.
Before learning about pleasure through Nagisa’s hands, I had no clue, but after that, I couldn’t help but know.
I bent down, slid my arm behind her knees, and lifted her up, supporting her back. That strength, which would feel feather-light even when lifting Hasumi or Yuuka, was indeed quite useful at times like this.
“Just a moment, Mika-chi, heuh…”
Nagisa, who briefly seemed to struggle, moved her arms to wrap around my neck, pressing her face against the space between my ear and chin. And the way she was breathing in, it seemed Mari’s suggested self-restraint had already gone out the window from day one.
It looked like I was about to get devoured, so what’s the point of restraint?
After carrying Nagisa to the bedroom, I wondered how much time had passed. When Nagisa, completely drained, said she wanted to wash up, I went to the bathroom and filled the tub.
As I looked at myself in the mirror, I couldn’t help but chuckle.
From the marks left by a Nagisa who was so entranced by me she almost collapsed, there were so many. Especially on my neck and chest, it wouldn’t be surprising if the real Mika showed up from beyond the mirror, casting a disdainful gaze.
After filling the bathtub with warm water and adding some bath salts, I headed back to the bedroom.
Nagisa, draped in a blanket and lazily sprawled out, reached out to me when she saw me. Just how satisfied was she to be this spoiled?
With her nestled in my arms, the marks left on Nagisa’s folded wings were surprisingly scarce. Compared to mine, it was almost negligible.
It was particularly clear which one of us had the upper hand, and my lower abdomen tingled. I couldn’t say I conceded control, as Nagisa had been the one leading from the start.
I set Nagisa down in the tub, eased myself behind her, and leaned back against the edge of the bathtub.
To be honest, unlike the thoroughly satisfied Nagisa, I felt like I had flared up and then extinguished. Ultimately, this disparity in stamina became quite the issue.
But when it came to simply comparing momentary pleasure, I thought maybe the pleasure I felt was slightly greater.
Truly, the intensity of the pleasure one experiences when their sexual tastes are satisfied is beyond explanation.
“Mika-chi…”
“Yes, Nagisa-chan.”
“We had something we needed to talk about, right?”
“…Did we?”
Mumbling with my head buried in Nagisa’s disheveled hair, one hand still caressing her belly. It was amazing how she had no excess fat despite not exercising.
“You spoke about Noah-chan, right?”
“…Ah.”
Even in this state of complete relaxation, a splash of cold water suddenly hit me.
The reason Nagisa brought up Noah was that tomorrow, the last day of February…
That is to say, starting from tomorrow, a leap day, I had a trip scheduled with Haruna and Noah for three days and two nights.
Even though Haruna and I were a couple, considering the idol business and that we were also submitting a gourmet column together, we had developed a strong bond, just like the two of us shared with Noah. My relationship with Noah was good, but not as close as the two.
Fundamentally, I was busy, and my spare time had to be shared among several people.
“Noah said she likes both of you, didn’t she?”
“Yeah, at least that’s what she said…?”
“…How many people are you aiming for? Are you trying to collect everyone that comes your way?”
“Uh, hmm.”
Instead of answering, I pulled Nagisa closer. Then she brought my hand to rest on her thigh while speaking.
“…Hmph. Just take care of it among the three of you. I’m now out of the picture.”
“That’s not quite what I meant to indicate…”
“What are you saying? Knowing Haruna’s personality, if you refuse, she’ll probably do the same. How do you think Noah would feel in that case? Experiencing the feeling of being rejected by both parties she shared her feelings with—it’s not something I’d want to know, at least.”
“Wow—oh… Nagisa-chan, isn’t that too kind? Comparing this to when you were squabbling with Haruna over days, it’s like you’ve turned into a completely different person. Right?”
“With more to hold onto, I have more leeway to share. Plus, back then, I had just given place to Hina-chan… I’d say I was in a complicated time emotionally.”
Saying that, Nagisa turned slightly to the side, gently holding my face. Then she lifted my chin to look up.
The desire and sense of achievement in her eyes looking down at me filled me with an indescribable thrill that was almost dizzying.
“More than anything, the current Mika-chi was shaped by none other than me?”
“Heueng. Shaped me? What do you mean by that?”
“I tell you every time, but I talk with Hina-chan more than you think… Heh. I’ve heard every single detail about how I have inscribed pleasure on your body from Hina-chan. Ah, if that’s not what shaped you, then what else could I possibly say?”
Nagisa ravenously claimed my lips. However, it wasn’t simply reckless; I could feel the affection in each touch, making it even better.
Breathless and slightly disappointed, Nagisa left a light kiss on my nose before saying,
“I love you madly… But you don’t just love me, do you? So I want to make it so that even when you share love with someone else, you remember me. That will never change moving forward.”
“…Ahaha, you’re saying some amusing things, aren’t you?”
“…What part are you referring to?”
“Nagi-chan, you need to understand that the possibility of that happening is simply because I desire it. Yes, your lousy stamina is the real issue here.”
“…Huh?!”
Nagisa’s eyes rounded in surprise. The desire flickering behind those eyes was so blatant.
“Listen, Nagisa-chan. Is it that lovers end up resembling each other, or do similar people fall in love with each other?”
“What are you trying to ask? Huh, I can’t quite grasp it…”
“You don’t have to understand. You’ll learn from now on. Yes, you’re lucky, Nagisa-chan☆ I learned that from the best teacher.”
That day, after somehow managing to wash and dry off the fainted Nagisa and lay her on the bed, I thought.
…No matter how I look at it, while Nagisa’s becoming kinder could indeed be due to her fundamentally soft nature, I think the real reason is probably her stamina.
