wn completely, it seems.

Marino spread her arms wide, as if saying “I’m ready when you are!!”.

(....I could go like this, but maybe I should wait and..)

Shin, feeling mischievous, slipped behind Marino without a sound. She had closed her eyes and had not noticed his movements.

“....?”

Feeling that she had already waited long, Marino opened her eyes: that moment, Shin hugged her tight from behind.

“Hyah!?”

Marino ended up flinching from the surprise.

“Surprised?”

“Uuh, you meanie..”

Keeping that stance, Shin sat on the chair behind him. Marino was on his lap.

“This is so embarrassing..”

“Marino is going to spoil me today, after all. I’m going to enjoy myself today, to my heart’s content.”

“Why do you talk like that!? Aaah, don’t blow in my ears!!”

“It was on purpose, of course.”

“That’s even mean--aah, no, I’m weak there.. you’ll pay for this..”

For the following 30 minutes, the distance between the two was zero.
