All Beautiful Girls Want to Stick with Me

When Kotomi Izumi became gentle, she was truly gentle down to her very bones.

Facing Yui Yuigahama, who was feeling down because of her ”performance,” Kotomi directly changed her perspective and tried to comfort her.

However...

As soon as Yui heard it, she cried even harder.

During the previous few times she had been intimate with Kotomi, her performance had been incredibly strong!

But just now, even counting everything generously, it had only been three minutes.

Usually when things ended, Kotomi would be so exhausted that she couldn’t even speak. But now it was the opposite. Yui was curled up in Kotomi’s arms, letting Kotomi hold her while comforting her.

Especially after hearing Kotomi’s tone, which carried absolutely no fatigue at all, as if nothing had happened just now, Yui felt even more inferior.

Curled up in Kotomi Izumi’s embrace, she looked as though she might really turn into a little dumpling.

Waa... will Kotomi start to dislike me and go find other girls?

The moment that thought appeared, Yui Yuigahama cried even harder. However, because Kotomi had told her earlier not to wake Yukino, she kept trying her best to suppress the sound of her sobbing.

Otherwise, she would already be bawling loudly by now.

Kotomi looked at Yui Yuigahama, who was curled up in her arms crying so hard she could barely breathe. She felt both heartache and the urge to laugh.

Thinking about it, this was partly her own fault. Earlier she should have simply held Yui quietly and comforted her silently.

Kotomi hadn’t thought of that at the time, and instead had accidentally said the extremely lethal line: ”Three minutes is pretty good too.”

Three minutes is pretty good too.

On the surface, it sounded like comforting words.

But when spoken at a time like this, it was practically the ultimate emotional critical hit. The kind that stacked armor‑piercing damage and critical hits all the way to level 999999.

The fact that Yui Yuigahama hadn’t cried herself into complete despair already showed remarkable restraint.

Kotomi opened her mouth, originally wanting to say more comforting words.

But after thinking about it, she decided it was better not to speak.

If she accidentally said something equally devastating again, like ”I know a medicinal recipe that helps with that sort of thing, do you want to try it,” then Yui Yuigahama would probably shut down emotionally on the spot.

Kotomi really did know such a medicinal recipe. She had originally planned to buy the ingredients and cook it for Yui to see if it helped.

But after thinking it over carefully, she decided to forget it.

Otherwise Yui might collapse emotionally.

Kotomi held Yui Yuigahama and gently coaxed her for quite a long time. Eventually, after who knew how long, Yui finally stopped crying.

Maybe she was exhausted from crying.

Maybe she was tired from their earlier intimacy.

Or maybe it was simply because resting in Kotomi’s embrace felt far too comfortable.

Before long, Yui Yuigahama began to grow drowsy.

Just before falling asleep, she forced herself to stay awake long enough to ask:

”Kotomi... if every time in the future it’s only three minutes... will you start to dislike me and go find other girls...?”

”Silly dumpling. I usually say you’re silly, but have you really become silly now? Three minutes is... ahem. How could I possibly go looking for other girls just because I disliked you? Do I look like that kind of person? Come on. Don’t have so little confidence in yourself. You were just too excited and couldn’t control yourself for a moment. Go to sleep.”

Kotomi spoke softly and gently. Just now she had almost said ”three minutes is pretty good” again, but fortunately she caught herself in time. Otherwise Yui might have started crying all over again.

After Yui Yuigahama fell asleep, Kotomi rubbed her slightly sleepy eyes.

She also wanted to sleep now.

Tonight had really gone on late. Although she had slept for a while on the Shinkansen earlier, the growing heaviness of her drowsiness could no longer be hidden.

”Good night,” Kotomi whispered softly.

It sounded as if she were speaking to Yui Yuigahama.

Or perhaps to Yukino Yukinoshita.

Or perhaps to both of them at the same time.

Even after closing her eyes, Kotomi Izumi did not immediately fall asleep. Although she was tired, it wasn’t to the point of falling asleep instantly. There was still a few minutes of transition between closing her eyes and drifting off.

While lying on the same pillow as Yui Yuigahama, Kotomi thought for a moment. Then she turned over toward Yukino Yukinoshita and reached out to wrap her arms around Yukino, who appeared to already be asleep.

Before going to sleep, Kotomi had promised Yui that she would share a pillow with her.

Yet now, Kotomi was holding Yukino Yukinoshita and lying with her on the same pillow.

Yukino Yukinoshita bit down hard on her finger, as if with just a little more force she might bite straight through it. If it were possible, she truly wished she could lose her hearing.

That way she would not have had to listen to the sounds coming from Kotomi and Yui beside her.

Even though she already knew that Kotomi Izumi and Yui Yuigahama had begun dating, even though she had personally witnessed them kissing and countless sweet interactions between them, hearing the person she loved confess affection to someone else still exceeded what Yukino Yukinoshita could endure.

The jealousy rising deep inside her heart was like a demon, as though it might tear her entire heart apart at any moment.

If I had a knife right now, I wouldn’t hurt Kotomi or Yui. They are lovers who truly care for each other. I would only cut off my own ears. That way I wouldn’t hear their voices anymore. If I couldn’t hear them, perhaps the ugly, demonic jealousy inside my heart would disappear as well...

Yukino Yukinoshita thought to herself.

While praying for the sounds from Kotomi and Yui to end quickly, she also found herself wishing a knife would suddenly appear in her hand so she could cut off her own ears.

Unfortunately, no knife appeared.

If a knife really had appeared in her hand, would Yukino truly have done nothing more than cut off her own ears?

The real answer already existed within her heart.

Fortunately, the sounds from Kotomi and Yui ended very quickly.

So quickly that Yukino Yukinoshita even began to suspect that perhaps Yui simply... wasn’t very good at it.

Regardless, the sounds that had stirred endless jealousy within her heart had finally stopped.

Yukino quietly let out a long breath.

A moment later she glanced at her own finger. If she hadn’t bitten it with enough force to nearly break it earlier, simply listening to the affectionate sounds between Kotomi and Yui might have been enough for the jealousy in her heart to destroy her reason entirely.

Yukino Yukinoshita had not found the courage to secretly turn around and look at Kotomi earlier. Even though anger and jealousy filled her heart, she was still unbearably curious about Kotomi’s expression.

But she never turned around.

Not even once.

If I had glanced back even once... the sight before my eyes would probably have shattered my sanity instantly.

Yukino thought silently. For some reason her mouth felt as if she had just eaten an incredibly bitter piece of chocolate.

Just as Yukino Yukinoshita thought she would lie awake the entire night, Kotomi Izumi—who had just finished comforting Yui to sleep—suddenly wrapped her arms around Yukino from behind.

Kotomi’s embrace was so gentle and sweet that in that single instant Yukino Yukinoshita felt as if she might become drunk within it.
