Chapter 121- Decision

Koori woke up sometime around eight.

She was in a daze and felt her legs completely numb; unwilling to move.

"Hmm..." She scratched her head and looked around with her eyes barely open.

Finding herself in an unfamiliar environment after an afternoon nap was not something that settled in quite well, and for a moment, she panicked.

However, soon a soothing voice helped Koori to regain her composure, "I think you should rest a little longer."

Koori turned her head in the direction of the study table where she saw Kasumi seated with her left leg draped over her right and the lady sipping on something hot.

Even though they both had sex, seeing Koori's condition which was nothing less than a mess, and Kasumi's charismatic appearance, one could tell how well they both handled the intercourse.

A brief look of shame flashed in her eyes as Koori sat down on the bed with her shoulders slumped.

The girl looked quite adorable with her pouty lips turned droopy and eyes searching for nothing in particular on the bed.

Kasumi got up and headed toward the bed. Sitting down beside the girl, Kasumi rested the cup of coffee on the bedside table before helping Koori comb her hair so she could see the pinkette's face properly.

Her hair, despite being messed up, felt soft and very comfortable to touch.

The gesture from Kasumi warmed Koori's heart but her dejection didn't fade—urging Kasumi to ask, "What are you worried about? Tell me, I will help you sort it out."

"It's you," Reflexively and without putting much thought into her response, Koori said that...only to widen her eyes upon realizing that she just had blurted what she was thinking about.

"Why am I the reason for your concern, Koori?"

Koori panicked and shook her head....however, she knew it was a pointless venture. Anything else she says here, other than the truth, would be caught by Kasumi.

Deciding to follow her principles of always telling the truth, Koori began, "It would sound like I am being an untrustable girl who hops from one partner to another...but after spending this whole day with you, Kasumi-san...I feel like...I-I-"

"You love me?"

Koori's shoulders again lost their strength as, in a deflated state; she nodded, "Yes...I-I have started to like you since our second meeting...and today, I realized that the feelings I possess for you go beyond the vague feeling of attraction..." Looking at Kasumi with an upturned gaze, Koori added,

"I won't be able to live without you anymore."

Kasumi(Minoru) knew what kind of girl Koori is. She isn't the type of person who can get swayed by looks or money. After all, she has been proposed by many kinds of guys in school. However, her loyalty to Naoko remained until the end.

Although their relationship was platonic until the end, Koori always remained quite actively involved in their dating life.

If she decides to confess her feelings and let go of the lingering thoughts of Naoko...then it means that she has completely devoted herself to Kasumi and doesn't want to end their connection.

Kasumi was left in a dilemma, not because she didn't want to be tied up with Koori—rather she would love to—however, what bothered Kasumi was the situation with her life in general.

First Kosuke, then Akisu, then Shiori...and now Koori. All these people love Minoru but in a different way and without knowing about his real identity.

What would happen...when they would realize what he has been doing behind their backs?

"K-Kasumi-san...I won't bother you if you don't want to be with me-"

"We are going out now. You are my girlfriend from this day on, Koori."

Kasumi's bold declaration brought a healthy blush to her face and a happy smile bloomed on Koori's face. A sparkle of elation flashed in her eyes as she suddenly clung to her goddess.

Kasumi fondly rubbed Koori's head as she gazed out of the window with an inexplicable emotion swirling in her eyes.

[Minoru's POV:]

After dropping Koori back to her house, I parked the car in the apartment and took a taxi back to home.

I was a little troubled about the whole situation, but in the end, the moment I approached Akisu, I knew this situation would arise. And I think I know what I want to do now.

Separate identity.

The system has assured me that there might be an artifact awaiting me once I ascend. And once I get the resource of making copies of my body I would grant each person a side of me which they prefer.

This is the only way to keep them happy without making any of them compromise.

I don't want to hurt them and I think this is the best way.

"I am home," I announced as I walked inside the house and found my sister standing there.

She seemed to be preparing to go out and paused to greet me back, "Welcome back."

"Are you going somewhere?" I asked as I exchanged shoes.

"Just the nearby store to buy ice cream. Dad has the craving to eat something sweet."

"Then let me come with you?"

"No, no. You change your clothes and have dinner first. Mom made your favorite white sauce pasta."

My eyes sparkled hearing that as I leaned forward to plant a quick kiss at the corner of her lips and marched my way to my room.

I freshened up a bit and was changing my clothes when I suddenly heard my phone buzzing.

Picking it up, I found it was from my beloved baseball captain.

Sato: [I will be waiting for you tomorrow at the station. Sharp 11.]

I grinned seeing the message, as I stopped wearing my boxers and sat down on the bed.

I ran my fingers on the screen and sent him a message,

[I have chosen my clothes for tomorrow. Wanna see?]

Sato: [...Yes.]

I giggled, seeing a quick but shy response.

Instantly, I got up and removed my shirt before wearing red underwear that had a heart-shaped design carved out in the rear.

It was made of spandex that's why it clung to my skin tightly and made my butt look even bigger and more tempting. For a moment I got horny while looking at myself.

However, I held my urges for now and knelt on the bed and stick my butt out before taking my phone and clicking a picture using the reflection in the mirror opposite my bed.

It came out really well and I had a very teasing smile in the picture.

I sent it to him, and instantly found the other party had saved the picture.

Cute.

A moment later, another message arrived,

Sato: [Tomorrow...I am going to make you mine.]

A/N:- So here is a problem; I have introduced too many characters and because of lack of screen time I can't make good sex scene.

So here's two thing I can do: First, somehow end this story before starting a new one or put a break on this one and start another gender bender story but with more details and better plan.

Need you advice so don't forget to comment.
