Chapter- 26

Rie's point of view:-

　After Mamoru leaves, I think to myself. Did I want to do something naughty with him? I haven't found the answer yet. But one day I want to get married, do that kind of thing, have children, and build a family. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a dream, but it's my ideal. And I want that partner to be Mamoru. No, it has to be him!

　...There's no need to think too hard about it, right? I like him. That's why I want to be with him. That's how I really feel. If he want to, we can do naughty things, or we can chat, or eat, or of course just walk side by side.

　...But the more we're together, the more I want more. It used to be enough just to be next to me, but now I want him to smile at me. I want him to hold my hand. There are so many more things I want him to do, and they're endless. I want him to stroke my head, I want to hold my arm, I want to hold hands like lovers, I want him to hug me, I want to kiss him. I wonder if the ultimate form of all this is wanting to have sex?

　I still don't know much about the future, and I can't imagine myself having sex, but I don't mind anything Mamoru does to me. On the other hand, I don't want to do it with anyone other than Mamoru. ...I see, that's what happens when you're in love.

　Thinking about Mamoru and wanting to meet him, I decided to open RAIN right away. And when I started the app, Mamoru's icon appeared... I instinctively tightened my loose cheeks. I'm the only one here, but I thought I'd do it just in case. Or rather, if I don't tighten up, my cheeks will stay loose forever. That's not cute, so it's no good!

　…………… ………, Ah! What was I doing now?! When I realized it, I was burying my face in the pillow on my bed and kicking my legs. I haven't sent RAIN yet. But for some reason, there is a message that I just need to send.

　"...Hii!"

　Now that I've come to my senses, I'm just terrified. I'm the only one who could have created such a strange document. But when I see all the "I love you"s lined up...yeah. If it were me, I'd block them immediately. And it's night, so I wouldn't be able to sleep... Is that so stupid...? I think it's normal to block someone, but I don't understand why he would send something like this! I don't want to be unable to communicate with him right away after we've gone through so much effort to exchange messages!!

　...What should I do? What kind of message should I send? I'll delete this nonsense right away, but maybe something like "I love you"? Is it okay to send messages when I don't have any reason to? I might be bothering him...

　"Rie, can I ask you for a second? I have something I want to give to Mamoru-san, so could you please tell him come a little early?"

　"Mom! Why are you here? And how did you know about the RAIN exchange?"

　"Why? Well, I just came to tell you that the bath was free. Besides, I can tell if you're worried when you look at your phone. You have a way to contact me, but it's the first time you've met him, so you're probably wondering what to say, right? So I'll give you a chance."

　"…thank you"

　…I guess mom knows everything.
