From an outsider’s perspective, Hina seemed like she was about to do all sorts of things to me, but surprisingly, she didn’t progress beyond that point.
All she did was maintain this subtle atmosphere, raising my tension.
Yet, just being in such a tantalizing situation was enough for a shiver to run down my spine.
Feeling my body heat up, I bit my lip, gripping the hem of my skirt tightly. It was an unspoken gesture giving Hina the silent permission to do whatever she wanted with me.
However, Hina seemed to mock my impatience, lifting her hand that was near my waist higher up. The hand that had traveled up my back stayed there, acting to pin me in place—
“Ugh…!”
No, it wasn’t to hold me down… It seemed like she intended to pull me closer instead.
Leaning against Hina, I quietly exhaled. Just because I tried to stifle the sound didn’t mean the heat within me would disappear, and Hina probably knew better than anyone that I was excited.
I didn’t say a word. Hina held all the cards in this situation, and I had voluntarily given them to her.
So, I could only speak up if Hina directly addressed me or if I decided to reclaim full control of the situation. It had to be one of those two options.
“Mika, sometimes I ponder whether my actions really align with the role of the Student Council President and what it entails. I know this situation is far from the healthy image of a student, but is it truly right to engage in it…?”
Hina leaned her head against me. Due to the posture, her head ended up buried between my breasts, but she didn’t seem to mind and even rubbed her face against me.
…It seemed like right now, regardless of my condition, it was time to indulge Hina’s little whims.
I thought it was a bit mischievous. Knowing I was excited, she was pulling this kind of stunt.
Hmm. Regardless of my teasing thoughts, my desires would have to take a backseat. My principle has always been to prioritize the person I love above myself.
Letting go of the hem I had clutched, I warmly embraced Hina. Hina was the most tender-hearted among my lovers, but she rarely stated her feelings outright.
It only made sense to take her feelings seriously.
She was the embodiment of inner strength while having a child-like side, yearning for my affection and recognition. I had diligently strived to be the pillar that supports her, so she wouldn’t break.
Even though ETO’s establishment had drastically reduced her workload, the idol project I had led made it hard for her to notice. Given that Hina despised anything annoying, she inevitably ended up stressed.
Yet, Hina willingly took responsibility for her mistakes without complaint, and for that, I was endlessly grateful.
“To be honest, it’s not entirely a righteous thing.”
“…Huh?”
“What? Did you think I would deny that? I believe we can’t overlook the fact that what we’re doing is quite distant from being a student’s duty. Yeah, but you know, regardless of right or wrong, this is for your happiness… no, our happiness, right?”
Well… Denying this doesn’t change the fact.
Even if articles like ‘The Scandalous Everyday Life of a Trinity T-party Host!’ were published in places like Kronos, I wasn’t overly concerned since, after all, the details never really leaked out.
Basically, I just believe my private life should remain unnoticed by others. It’s not like we’re harming anyone or that it’s a crime to be unable to suppress the love between us.
If it’s a mutual understanding between the parties involved, then there’s nothing for outsiders to criticize in the first place.
“Yeah, even if the Student Council President tasked with correcting the morals of Gehenna has long since ascended to ‘adulthood’… I think as long as she shows a good example to others only when she stands in front of them, that’s enough.”
“…That’s not very comforting.”
“Ahaha. A place where you can find comfort doesn’t always have to be verbal! By the way, don’t you think it took you too long to share your worries?”
“Maybe I have…?”
I gently stroked Hina’s back as she rhythmically inhaled and exhaled. I always felt there was a distinct pleasure in touching her well-maintained hair that was different from her soft skin.
It brought a sense of calm to my mind and body.
“Perhaps I was afraid to bring this up to you. My time with you has been such precious memories for me, and the anticipation of the time we have ahead fills me up… Hmm. I’m sorry for getting your hopes up and then having this kind of conversation, Mika.”
“…Oh, you didn’t mean to do that?”
“Of course not. Mika, I’m not someone who plays jokes in front of a well-set table.”
“…I see.”
So, she wasn’t trying to tease me on purpose while making it obvious she wanted to devour me.
“Hmm. President. If you’re done with your conversation, could you take a look at this for a moment?”
“…What is it, Aco?”
“Actually, Mika and I made a bet today, and since the winner has just been decided, I’m going to carry out the punishment right here.”
“Hm. What was the bet about?”
“That… is something I promised to keep secret with Mika, so I hope for your generous understanding, President.”
“Heueng…”
I didn’t think I had agreed to keep it a secret.
Glancing at Aco, I saw her fixedly staring at me as if she wanted to pierce me with her eyes. If I didn’t understand that this look was a silent request not to speak, that would also be its own problem.
Well, I could let it slide this one time. Considering my past experiences with Aco, it wouldn’t be wise to poke fun with this.
“And the punishment is right here.”
“…”
The moment I saw what Aco brought out, Hina was rendered speechless. Realizing the impending humiliation, I lost my words for a different reason.
“A collar?”
“Exactly, President. The punishment for the loser of this bet is to wear this collar and act cute in front of you…”
Aco, presenting a collar that presumably resembled the one in her own story, boldly declared the punishment. While she did, Aco caught Hina’s unusual gaze and blinked.
“Um, wait a second. President? Why are you looking at me like that—”
“Aco, do you often make bets like this with Mika?”
“…W-well, maybe?”
“Hm. So, that’s how it is…”
With a thoughtful expression, Hina lightly nodded as she tapped the desk.
“Bets, huh? I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it, but I hope the process and outcome don’t cause any harm or hurt to each other. After all, even if in different ways, both of you are precious people to me.”
“…I-I understand, President.”
Hina clearly drew a line while also affirming Aco as her subordinate. Hearing that made Aco visibly pleased.
Even if she’s tried to compose herself, Hina’s innate characteristics were still intact. Personally, I didn’t mind it; the fact that I could empathize with those aspects only made it better.
“And Mika?”
“Yeah, Hina-chan?”
“Stick your head out.”
“…Okay.”
Without a hint of hesitation, I complied with Hina’s command to take the collar from Aco. It was something that had been ingrained in me for a long time.
If it were a normal day, it would’ve been one thing, but this had already crossed into an act of intimacy we shared. And as always, the control belonged to Hina, something I readily desired.
The band encircled my neck. The moment I felt it tighten, I knelt down.
I was familiar with collar play. Thanks to someone.
Silently placing my hands on my knees, I looked up at Hina. Gazing up at her in her uniform, the usual cuteness vanished, leaving only the commanding Student Council President of Gehenna glaring down at me.
Just that alone made my body react immediately.
“…”
However, that was all. Hina didn’t provide me with any guidelines.
This issue wasn’t solely Hina’s; it affected most of my girlfriends as well. They willingly took on the role of dominatrix for my sake, even though their own inclinations didn’t fully align with it.
However, it was a sight seeing a girl like me lowering herself, which could definitely awaken someone’s dominant persona. I learned that through multiple experiences, and I had experienced the opposite as well.
“Hereby, I, Misono Mika from the Trinity General Academy third year, declare that I have become the pet of Sorasaki Hina, Student Council President… Please cherish me… Heuup!”
See? It’s an instant reaction!
As Hina roughly tugged on my collar, she bent down to greet me.
Just before our lips would touch, I caught a glimpse of a fluttering emotion in Aco’s gaze.
It was clearly the feeling of envy, so I silently pondered a question.
Amau Aco. Which side of this are you envious of?
