Eriri Perspective
When Kouta was busy playing with Utaha, and at this point, he was probably together with Takao. Around that time, Eriri entered a famous cafe in her area. She glanced around the cafe, searching for someone. Her eyes stopped when she saw someone who had promised to meet her in this cafe.
Fujiwara Chika, she has been one of her friends since childhood. After all, Chika's father was a politician, while Eriri's father was an ambassador from the U.K. While Chika in the past was someone who was famous as a pianist prodigy. On the other hand, Eriri was famous for her drawing skills.
Even though it was a different kind of art, because of their background and age. It wasn't strange for the two of them to be quite close friends.
Chika didn't say anything and just waved her hand around to call Eriri, who for a moment looked around the cafe before she spotted her.
"Sorry, do I make you wait?" Eriri asked those questions as she came closer.
"No, I just arrived here…" Chika replied as she stopped waving her hand. She looked at Eriri before she grabbed her hand. "It feels like it has been a long time since we met like this…"
"Un… I'm sorry. I got a bit busy after entering high school." Eriri said the truth. It was just two weeks after she entered high school that she lived quite peacefully before Kouta came into her life. It was such a chaotic two weeks after that. For someone who blackmailed a girl who may be willing to do anything to stay with Kouta.
It felt like Stockholm syndrome.
Eriri herself also became busier, making manga and dating sims with Kouta and, of course, drawing illustrations and short doujinshi with like 4 to 8 pages. But it was kind of difficult to tell her.
Chika may be one of Eriri's closest friends, but she still never told her that she drew those kinds of manga.
"Really? Maybe you have a guy or something like that?" Chika spoke with a teasing smile on her face.
"Well… that's… How do I say it…? It's kind of difficult to say."
"Eh~~~ You can tell me anything you know…"
Chika told Eriri with sparkling eyes. She seemed excited by the love-talk.
"No… It's complicated. How about we order something first…" Eriri tried to change the conversation by asking Chika to order something.
Chika pouted her cheek, but she followed Eriri's request by looking at the menu before asking the waitress for a kind of fruit parfait. While Eriri ordered a fruit cake with drink.
Isn't Chika busy too? If I'm not mistaken, you're a member of the student council, right? Especially for the student council at Shuchi'in Academy, it may be difficult…" Eriri asked something first since she didn't want Chika to ask the question.
"Well, since we had Kaguya and the President, we're fine…" Chika replied quite lukewarmly, but after that, she told Eriri about the student council of Shuchi'in Academy.
While Eriri knew about Shinomiya Kaguya since she was part of the main descendant of Shinomiya Zaibatsu, which is one of the biggest conglomerates in the city. And she was kind of impressed that the president of the student council wasn't really rich and noble that usually a student of Shuchi'in Academy.
"He might be really good if he makes a wrong move… He may become an enemy to a lot of rich families." Eriri praised the president, Shirogane Miyuki.
"Yeah, he's a pretty smart and hardworking boy… It's just that sometimes he's really disappointed…"
"Eh, really?"
"Yeah… I can remember when I taught him to play volleyball and sing!!"
"Is that so?"
"Yes!! It's such a horrible experience!!"
Chika told what happened to her and the president, as she taught him very well. Eriri herself didn't know if what Chika said was true or not. It felt like too much of her own perspective and was exaggerated.
Even though what Chika said was true. It was still unbelievable for the president of the student council at Shuchi'in Academy.
But seeing Chika tell the story with a happy face meant that she had a good time in the student council.
"Really, I'm kind of worried after hearing you stop playing music. It's so sudden after all."
"Ah… About that… It's thanks to Kaguya that I'm free from expectation. In the end, I can be like you…"
"Chika… Actually, I don't think we are that different. I may win some art contests, but that's just a public image. Behind the scenes, I'm actually making something else and never telling everyone."
"Eriri…"
"Do you know the manga titled 'Tomo-chan wa Onnanokko'?"
"Eh, well… I think I read it in twatter and pixav. I never thought someone who drew so much doujinshi could make that kind of wholesome romance… wait… are you perhaps?"
"Un… Chika. I'm actually someone who enjoys drawing those kinds of things rather than painting or arts."
"That's… Kinda shocking… but in the end, we're hiding our problem, huh…"
Eriri and Chika had such a deep conversation and talked about themselves. They spoke for a long time, before Chika realized something.
"Wait… if you draw those kinds of manga… which means… are you perhaps actually having an experience with those kinds of things!!" Chika said those words with a reddened face as she was embarrassed.
"That's… Didn't I say… it's kind of complicated…"
"You don't deny it! Which means you had experience? Do you have a boyfriend!? Is it your childhood friend or that guy at the party?" Even though Chika felt embarrassed at the thought that her friend had adult experience, she can't help but be curious about this topic.
Of course, it was embarrassing for Eriri too, but this was what she came for. Chika may look like a pure and innocent girl, but she had her curiosity, and if she got caught with those feelings, she may have fallen like her too.
"Well, rather than a boyfriend… Actually, I have another type of relationship."
"Eh…"
"How do I say it… A friend with benefits? Or Sex friend?" Eriri said it like that even though Kouta and herself thought of their relationship more deeper, but there was no way she told Chika like that. In the end, she told Chika this.
"Wait, isn't that wrong?"
"Hm? What's wrong with it? I need to know about sex and other stuff for my drawing, and the other is a quite skilled guy. So I don't think what I'm doing is wrong…"
"But… I think that's kind of a thing. Something you need to do with someone you like!" Chika told Eriri what she felt about this kind of thing. She was kind of surprised by the reaction Eriri had or her view, which was different from hers.
"Well, it's not like I'm doing with anyone, and I like him quite a lot…"
"So you're and him are going to each other?"
"I don't think so. He had another girl too."
"Eh… So he's such a scumbag!? Are you not fooled by him!?" Chika looked angry when she heard what Eriri said. Eriri may not have said anything about the guy, but she knew which guy Eriri was talking about. There was no way her childhood friend would do anything like this, since he had such a virgin-like appearance.
"Fooled… Huh. But aren't you curious about this sex thing, Chika?"
"Eh… well. Of course, I do… But…"
"Isn't that weird if a guy had experience and was doing it with several girls. Many people envied him, while the girl was called a slut…"
"Well…"
"People saying that woman need to save herself for her husband, but at the same time, they're fine with the husband had experience with girl since it make him had experience to not hurt a virgin wife. Isn't that bullshit?"
"Auuuu..."
"In the end, girl just like a guys... they're experience love and have one or two people she had relationship before settle with her husband. So I don't think it's a weird thing to experience with one or two sexual partner."
"But..."
"We're also careful so I wouldn't get pregnant too. So that's problem not something to worry about."
"That's…"
"Ah, I don't want to berate you or anything like that. But I feel like it's wrong for you to tell me those kinds of things when you never do it… I don't think you understand it. But you know… Sex with him amazingly feels good after all." Eriri said with a pinkish flush on her cheek as she blushed at the thought of having sex with Kouta.
"That's… may be true… but… it still feels like not a good thing."
"Hm… I can't explain it to you. But this is kind of hard to tell. Anyway, I'm not trying to argue about your view, but I feel like at least I want you to understand my perspective." Eriri said as she took out a flash disk and put it on the table.
"Eh…"
"Please, don't spread it… but this flash disk contained a video of me and him. I want you to see what I'm coming for… We're still young after all. In the past, I thought like you do. But after experiencing it, I don't think it's such a bad thing to know this kind of thing even before marrying someone… Some people say that a good compatibility makes a good marriage after all."
Chika was surprised that Eriri gave her such a private video. It may be a good thing that she didn't touch this, but at the same time, she's curious what kind of sex makes her friend like this.
Chika was so focused that she didn't hear such a blatantly stupid thing Eriri's said and just took it at face value.
"Ah. if you see it… You can tell me what you're thinking… See you next time…"
With that, Eriri tried to catch Chika in their complex relationship.
"Well, it's Chika after all. I'm pretty sure, one hundred percent, she will see the video." Eriri said with a smile on her face. Her body was shivering, and she felt like her pussy was tingling with the thought that her friend would see how debauchery she was.
"Ah… I wonder if Chika makes the same face with me and Utaha…"
