Cherreads

Chapter 309 - It is hard to become a man

"So comfortable..." 

Despite the plain taste of the jasmine tea, it made her body comfortable all over. The gentle aroma of the jasmine and the warmth of the tea made her body feel a little hot, yet cozy. She even felt a little sleepy, but the sugar from her tiramisu energized her, and it made her feel happy. 

Still, as she took a bite of her tiramisu, Shiori's eyes quickly drew toward Tobe's matcha yuzu cheese cake as she licked her fork, then looked at him with a baby-like expression, acting so spoiled. "Tobe-kun, can I take a bite of your cheesecake~?" 

"...." 

Yet, despite her baby-like act, Tobe felt that Shiori was seductive, with long, fluffy black hair that she carelessly laid on her back. She looked up at him with moist eyes, full of temptation. 

Subconsciously, he wanted to rub the space between his eyebrows, thinking it would ease the strange feeling that was about to be born on his body, yet he held the urge and asked, "...how about your tiramisu?" 

"It's delicious! But, I want to try yours!" 

Her clothes might be conservative, hiding most of her features, but as her lower body was a little wet from the rain, she took off her stockings, revealing her bare white calves and small feet, which stretched out and reached him, teasing him playfully. 

"Stop playing around." Tobe reached her feet and tickled her soles with his fingers. 

"Hahaha!" As Shiori laughed, she quickly pulled her feet away as she looked at him bashfully. "Tobe-kun is a pervert! Foot fetish!" She had never expected that he would be so bold as to reach for her feet directly, yet inwardly, she knew that it might be a little too much to tease him with her feet before. 

Still, her feet weren't smelly, right? 

After all, she wore stockings, so whether she wanted to or not, she would sweat as she walked around on her campus and in her part-time job. 

Still, Tobe was speechless by her groundless accusation, and at the same time, thinking that he shouldn't have touched her before. 

"If you don't give me a bite of your cake, I won't forgive you~!" 

"Here, eat some. Don't eat it all."

Fortunately, Shiori was as gentle as ever. 

"Yay~!" 

Gaining his permission, Shiori quickly took a bite of his matcha yuzu cheesecake, which tasted unique yet festive, as it was full of flavor. It wasn't bad, but she liked her tiramisu more. "I like my tiramisu more." 

"Really?" 

"Yes, there is this strange spiciness to it, which gives a nice kick." 

"Can I try?" 

"Go ahead." 

As Shiori saw him take a bite of her tiramisu, she couldn't help but smile, thinking that it was nice to stay with him. Even though the two of them just stayed side by side, sitting on the sofa with a turned-on television as a background noise, her focus was on him, staring at him, thinking that it might be good to continue like this till the future. 

Still, she noticed that his expression was a little strange. "What's wrong? You don't like tiramisu?" After all, the tiramisu was a little bitter as the cake part should be soaked in the espresso, which made it bitter, yet the combination of the sweetness and bitterness was exquisite, so why did he show such an expression? 

"No... I think there should be alcohol in it." 

"Huh?" 

Tobe tried a second bite, and quickly confirmed it as he looked at Shiori helplessly. "As expected, there is alcohol inside." 

"That's not true, right?" 

Hearing his words, Shiori quickly ate her tiramisu again, which somehow made her silent. 

"The content is quite mild, so you might not notice it, yet it should be there. If I am not wrong, it should be a rum." 

"...you are right. It is rum." 

Now, Shiori understood why this tiramisu had a slight spiciness, which made her addicted and made her head a little fluffy, yet she couldn't help but look at Tobe and ask, "How did you know it was rum?" 

"...I tasted it in the past?" 

"Ah, there is a delinquent here!" 

"...are you drunk?" 

"I am not~!" 

"...." Tobe. 

Sighing helplessly, Tobe wondered what to do, but even so, he asked, "Do you think you can go home like this?" 

"..." Shiori. 

Now, this time, it is she who is all silent. 

Even if Shiori's mind was a little fuzzy due to the effect of the alcohol, she also knew that it would be hard for her to go home. No, she couldn't go home at all, especially when she had consumed alcohol, even though it was mild. 

What if she had an accident? 

What if... she was caught by the police? 

As she was troubled with many thoughts, she was about to eat her tiramisu again, but of course, Tobe stopped her. "Don't eat. What if you are drunk?" 

"I am not drunk~!" 

If Shiori could say those words without a slur, then Tobe would believe her. 

"Do you want me to call you a taxi? As for your car, you can park it at my house and pick it up tomorrow." 

There should be a taxi or two in the area, and as for her car, it was fine to park it at his home, but Shiori pouted and asked, "Have you not thought to let me sleep at your place?" 

"You sure?" 

"I am sure!" Shiori was firm and said, "I can sleep on the sofa, so you don't have to worry." 

"....." 

Should it be the other way around? 

"No, stay in my room. I will stay in the living room since it will be hard to explain to my parents if they somehow see you in the morning." 

"Ah, will your parents go home tomorrow morning?" 

"I don't know, but they might be or they might not, but just in case, right?" 

"Well, that's true, but..." Shiori was silent for a moment, and her clear eyes stared at his beautiful eyes for a while, as her body grew hotter, and said, "What if... what if we just stay in the same room? In that case, everything should be okay, right?" 

"...are you serious?" 

"Why not? Or are you worried that I'm going to do something to you? You don't have to worry. I won't do anything!" 

"...." 

Had this woman ever thought that he would be the one who would do something to her? 

After all, without a doubt, Shiori was a beautiful woman, and even if he was younger, he was still a man. 

"Or..." 

Shiori looked at him with the eyes of a woman, showing her adult-like charm despite her being a virgin, as she said, "Is it not okay for me to stay?" 

"..." 

Gulp! 

As he saw how alluring Shiori was, Tobe had to say that it was hard to become a man.
