[75] Kaoruko Fujiwara's Punishment
Chapter 75: Kaoruko Fujiwara's Punishment
"Playing Mahjong is fine, but just playing it gets a little boring. How about this: the winner of each round can make the others do something. What do you think?"
Kaoruko looked at Yuta. If you interpret the rule in a good way, it's fine; but if you think of it in a bad way, it could go wrong.
Aoi didn't have any objections and also stared at Yuta, waiting for his response.
"I think it sounds fun! This will make things more interesting!" Sasha sensed the tension in the air and decided to go along with Kaoruko's suggestion.
Yuta, feeling helpless, agreed as well. "Alright, but you can only pick one person, and whatever they have to do will no longer count once the next round starts. And no making anyone take off their clothes!"
Yuta firmly rejected any inappropriate rules. He also suspected that Kaoruko was deliberately targeting him, worried she might ask for something unfavorable.
Kaoruko, Aoi, and Sasha had no objections, especially Sasha, who seemed eager to use this opportunity to shine.
Everyone sat down in order.
Playing Mahjong is a good way to stay up late. Yuta initially thought this would help everyone pass the night, but now he realized things were getting tricky.
After the first round ended, Yuta quickly understood he wasn't cut out for Mahjong. His skills were mediocre, nowhere near the level of Aoi and Kaoruko.
It wasn't just them—Sasha was better than him too.
"Are you deliberately holding back, or is this really all you've got?" Aoi, after losing, gave Yuta a cold glance, bluntly criticizing his incompetence.
Although Sasha also lost, she was still cheerful and smiled as she said, "Yuta, are you not good at Mahjong? I thought people in this country were all experts!"
Her smile was the kind people give when they meet a newbie.
In this country, Mahjong is so common that even those who aren't great at it usually know the basic rules. It's a popular family activity during gatherings.
Both Kaoruko and Aoi were quite skilled at it, which seemed like a basic skill for them.
"I just had bad luck," Yuta could only offer this excuse.
Kaoruko didn't care whether Yuta was unlucky or not. After winning, she looked directly at Yuta and said, "I won this round. According to the rules, I can ask someone to fulfill my request."
As soon as she said that, Yuta, Sasha, and Aoi Kiriyama all turned their eyes to her, wondering what kind of request she would make.
Kaoruko stood up, crossing her arms in front of her, and looked at Yuta. "Yuta, close your eyes and lie down over there."
Kaoruko glanced at the couch beside them, making her intention clear—she wanted Yuta to lie down.
Yuta didn't know what Kaoruko was planning, but he stood up anyway, thinking that if she dared to draw on his face, he would definitely get her back later!
Sasha watched Kaoruko with curiosity and anticipation, eager to see what this beautiful and elegant woman would demand from Yuta.
Aoi had initially thought this would turn into a game of Truth or Dare or a King's Game, but after seeing Kaoruko's approach, she quickly realized that Kaoruko had something entirely different in mind.
Yuta, lying on the couch with his eyes closed, waited for Kaoruko's next move. He didn't believe for a second that Kaoruko would stop here.
Soon, Yuta felt something move closer to him, and the familiar light fragrance made him instinctively open his eyes.
When he did, he saw Kaoruko standing right in front of him!
After looking at Yuta briefly, Kaoruko leaned down, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pressed her body against his. With the other two watching, she kissed Yuta.
Even though Yuta wasn't experiencing his first kiss, the intensity of his nervousness now far surpassed what he had felt back then!
It was still summer, and both of them were dressed lightly, so the physical closeness between them became even more palpable under these conditions.
Kaoruko was wearing a silk dress, smooth and soft, which perfectly highlighted her figure while maintaining an air of simplicity and elegance. It was the kind of modest outfit one might wear at home when feeling completely relaxed.
Yuta's mind went blank. He had always known that Kaoruko was a bold and confident woman, but he never expected her to act like this, especially at such a moment.
Kaoruko only lingered for about ten seconds before pulling away from Yuta. Without acknowledging anyone, she calmly walked to the side, grabbed a tissue from the table, and wiped her face. Then, as if nothing had happened, she casually said, "I'm a bit tired. Let's go to sleep."
Sasha, equally stunned, was left speechless. Her mind was a blur, not knowing how to react. Had she just been... NTR'd?
Maybe it wasn't exactly NTR. After all, Sasha had only known Yuta for a day, and… something about the whole situation felt off. These two didn't seem like they were in that kind of relationship.
"What's the matter? Not continuing?" Aoi asked, looking at Kaoruko. Of everyone present, Aoi seemed the most upset by what had just happened.
Aoi was the least willing to see anything happen between Yuta and Kaoruko.
She didn't particularly mind Yuta getting involved with other women, like Sasha, but she really didn't want him to end up with Kaoruko. She believed it wouldn't benefit Yuta at all.
Kaoruko nodded calmly. "No, we're done. I think if we keep playing this game, it'll just put Yuta in an uncomfortable position."
Yuta had finally recovered from Kaoruko's sudden advance. After calming himself down, he stood up and said, "I'll go get some blankets and pillows."
She actually played me for a fool!
Yuta had figured out what kind of person Kaoruko was!
Her intention was definitely not to simply lay down next to him; rather, she was trying to stir his feelings for her, making it hard for him to forget her!
If one were to describe the three people in the room, it might be tricky. However, it could be more easily understood through another lens.
Sasha was like a child who suddenly gets an idea and acts on it without thinking.
Aoi was more rigid and mature. She claimed not to care, but when it came to what she wanted, she wouldn't say a word even if she felt wronged.
She was timid yet meddlesome, the kind of awkward, good-natured kid who wore glasses and acted like a little intellectual.
As for Kaoruko, she was the type who loved to stir up trouble! She'd deliberately provoke you, and when you retaliated, she would run away, ignoring you, only to come back and poke at you with a pencil, like a mischievous brat!
If you didn't let her see a little blood, you'd never understand why the flowers bloomed so beautifully! You'd never know who was in charge!
