All Beautiful Girls Want to Stick with Me

”What do you mean by that?”

Faced with ”Little Yukino,” Yukino Yukinoshita had never once intended to be polite. If she wanted to ask something, she asked it.

After all, at every moment, Yukino Yukinoshita wanted to kill ”Little Yukino,” to erase her existence entirely. There was no possibility of courtesy between them.

Without exaggeration, if Yukino Yukinoshita were to learn the method to kill ”Little Yukino,” then in the very next second, she would turn it into action.

Even if the chance of killing her in one strike was slim, she would still try. What if it worked?

The quiet, aloof literary girl Yukino Yukinoshita—like an iceberg, like a lemon tree standing in cold solitude—possessed a decisiveness far beyond what ordinary people could imagine. Once she truly made up her mind about something, the force of her actions would completely contradict the indecision she usually displayed.

”When a couple is alone together, what do they do? You don’t even need to use your brain to figure that out, right?”

As she said this, whether she had just remembered or was deliberately dividing her words for effect, ”Little Yukino” looked at Yukino Yukinoshita with open mockery and continued with a smiling face:

”Oh, oh, sorry~ sorry~ I almost forgot something. You’ve never been in a relationship. Everything you know about the word ’love’ comes from the literary novels you’ve read. And Kotomi is Yui Yuigahama’s girlfriend. Whatever Kotomi and Yui were secretly doing while you were taking a bath—how would you, the third party, possibly know?”

”...Tch.”

Yukino Yukinoshita clicked her tongue. The killing intent in her eyes grew heavier. Because of that taunting reminder, her thoughts gradually began to connect, and she understood what ”Little Yukino” had meant.

So she’s saying that while I was bathing, Kotomi and Yui were secretly doing that kind of thing...

As the thought formed, her expression darkened further. Even though she had neither seen nor heard anything, the mere act of imagining it caused Kotomi and Yui’s expressions and voices to surface naturally in her mind. Her heart seemed to plunge into a frozen abyss, brewing something dreadful.

”...Haa.”

Yukino Yukinoshita let out a long breath, adjusting her emotions. She glared at ”Little Yukino” with killing intent and said coldly:

”I looked outside the bathroom just now. The way Kotomi and Yui were acting was completely normal. They weren’t doing anything like what you described. If you’re trying to sow discord like this, then I’m truly disappointed. I thought you might have some clever trick up your sleeve. In the end, it’s just a childish tactic straight out of a B-movie.

”And let me advise you—don’t waste your effort. I like Kotomi. So yes, I envy Yui, I’m jealous of Yui, and I even resent Yui. I have the courage to admit that. If one day Yui asks me, I’ll say it without hiding a single thing. Of course, if she doesn’t ask, I won’t bring it up myself.

”But no matter what, I will never develop murderous intent toward Yui. Absolutely not!”

”Hahaha... delivering such a long speech about your feelings—how very you.”

”Think whatever you want.”

”In that case, let me ask you a question. You don’t mind, do you?”

”Little Yukino” smiled as she spoke. Unlike Yukino Yukinoshita’s smile, her smile carried a trace of darkness and malice. It was beautiful—and chilling.

”You can ask. Whether I answer depends on my mood,” Yukino Yukinoshita shot back without hesitation.

Yet ”Little Yukino” seemed completely unconcerned. At least, the smile on her small face did not fade.

Without further nonsense, she asked directly:

”Suppose one day, because of Kotomi, you and Yui can no longer remain friends. Would you develop murderous intent toward Yui?”

Yukino Yukinoshita froze.

She had prepared herself for sharp, unpleasant questions. She had even resolved that if the question went too far, she would simply pretend not to hear it and ignore it.

But after hearing it, she found herself unable to do so.

It was like a splinter.

The moment the question was spoken, it pierced straight through her heart. She could neither forget it nor ignore it. Even if she refused to say the answer aloud, she had no choice but to begin thinking about it, searching within herself for an answer.

She did not know how long she remained silent. After what felt like an eternity, she finally spoke in a hoarse voice:

”...No.”

”Heh. If one day you and Yui truly become enemies, I hope you’ll still remember this insincere answer you just gave.”

”Little Yukino” sneered, as though mocking the hypocrisy of that answer.

Yukino Yukinoshita no longer seemed to have the strength to refute her. She stood there blankly, still thinking about the question—and about the [Answer] she had just given.

As if bored, ”Little Yukino” lightly brushed back her long black hair and said teasingly:

”Let me tell you one last thing. From the moment I first hinted that Kotomi and Yui might be doing that kind of thing while you were bathing, to the moment you finally made up your mind to push the door open a crack and take a peek—because of your hesitation, the time wasted in between may not have been long, but it certainly wasn’t short.

”During that time, the two of them might already have finished and cleaned up. That’s why, when you peeked, they looked as if nothing had happened.

”Well? How does it feel to be kept in the dark?

”Heh. But then again, Kotomi and Yui are mutually in love. Whatever they do together is perfectly justified. Forget sneaking in a quick round while you’re in the bath—even if they did it right in front of you, it would still make sense.

”Kotomi and Yui are lovers. The girl you love, Kotomi Izumi, is your best friend Yui Yuigahama’s girlfriend~ What right does a third party like you have to point fingers?”

”I’m not a third party!”

Yukino Yukinoshita shouted in a low voice. Every sentence, every word from ”Little Yukino” was like a sharp blade, stabbing relentlessly into her heart.

”Mm, I suppose that’s true. You really aren’t a third party. After all, even a third party can at least sneak a bite of meat. As for you? Forget sneaking a bite—you probably wouldn’t even get a sip of the soup~ Hahahahaha!”

With that, ”Little Yukino” disappeared, leaving behind a seed in Yukino Yukinoshita’s heart—one that could erupt at any moment, unleashing the darkness within her.

Yukino Yukinoshita turned the faucet again, letting cold water pour from the showerhead, cascading over her long black hair like a waterfall.

She had never taken a cold shower before. This was her first time, and it was far from pleasant. Perhaps it was because it was winter, or perhaps simply because she disliked cold showers.

At the very least, she had no desire to ever take a second one.

As the icy water streamed over her body, her mind replayed everything ”Little Yukino” had just said.

...

If one day, because of Kotomi, you and Yui can no longer remain friends, would you develop murderous intent toward Yui?

I hope that when that day comes, you’ll still be able to say that insincere answer.

During the time you stood there hesitating, Kotomi and Yui might have already finished and cleaned up. That’s why, when you looked, it seemed like nothing had happened between them.

How does it feel to be kept in the dark?

You don’t even deserve to be called a third party between them!

Every word from ”Little Yukino” was like a nightmare one wished to forget as quickly as possible—and like water nourishing a seed.

Watering the seed she had planted before leaving—one that could ignite the darkest part of Yukino Yukinoshita’s heart at any moment.

Yukino Yukinoshita quickly finished her shower. After turning off the water, she couldn’t help but shiver. Taking a cold shower in winter was simply too freezing.

After putting on her bathrobe and drying her hair with a hairdryer, she pushed open the bathroom door and looked toward the living room.

There, Kotomi Izumi lay with her head resting on a pillow, her body tucked beneath the heated table, sleeping peacefully. Beside her sat Yui Yuigahama, quietly peeling a mandarin orange.

Everything looked perfectly ordinary, as if nothing at all had happened between them.

Had Kotomi Izumi and Yui Yuigahama really done that kind of thing while Yukino Yukinoshita was bathing?

The answer was...

Yes.

Let’s turn back time a few minutes—to when Yukino Yukinoshita was still in the bathroom, and Kotomi Izumi and Yui Yuigahama were outside, locked in an embrace and kissing.

When it came time to test depth and intensity, Kotomi Izumi never hesitated.

Partly because of her personality, and partly because of the side effects of her Queen of All Females constitution. If she went too long without physical intimacy with girls, those side effects would erupt with fierce intensity—far beyond something that could be resolved in just a dozen hours.

However, Yui Yuigahama—who had once been aggressive and fierce during their intimate moments, like a small beast tasting meat for the first time—had been declining rapidly since arriving in Kyoto. At first, she could hold on for a few minutes. Gradually, even lasting a single minute became incredibly difficult.

Just now, even after taking the initiative, she made no attempt to reclaim control—likely because she knew she couldn’t.

Just as Kotomi was about to tease or provoke Yui to make her more intense, Yui suddenly trembled slightly, as if struck by a chill—and then...

Collapsed to the side, utterly exhausted.

???

Kotomi Izumi felt as though a ring of question marks surrounded her.

She understood what had happened. Yui was finished. Completely out of energy...

Since Yukino Yukinoshita was still bathing, Kotomi had intended to make it quick.

But she hadn’t expected things to end before they had even begun.

Her idea of ”quick” was ten to fifteen minutes.

This... wasn’t quick.

This was not even getting started at all.

Kotomi Izumi’s clothes were still neatly buttoned.

After lying on the tatami for quite some time, gasping for breath, Yui Yuigahama gradually realized something horrifying—this time, it wasn’t that she couldn’t last a minute.

It was that she hadn’t even lasted a second.

Realizing this, she slowly pushed herself up with trembling hands, sitting upright. Her face was filled with guilt and disappointment as she looked at Kotomi, her lips parting slightly as if she wanted to say something—but couldn’t find the words.

Kotomi Izumi smiled gently, reached out, and pulled Yui into her arms. She kissed Yui softly on the cheek and comforted her:

”It’s okay... I wasn’t in great condition today either. I was even thinking I might get tired. But I didn’t expect you to be so considerate—seeing that I wasn’t feeling well, you stopped right away. You’re always so good to me... if you keep this up, you might spoil me one day~”

”Kotomi, I...”

Yui Yuigahama looked ashamed. She knew Kotomi was comforting her. Although it made her feel a little better, she still felt useless—like a failure for not even being able to satisfy Kotomi in something like this.

”Shh.”

Kotomi gently placed a finger against Yui’s lips, silencing her.

Yui obediently closed her mouth.

Faced with such a disastrous performance—ending before it even began—even Kotomi, who was usually so good with words, couldn’t immediately think of anything better to say. So she decided to end the topic quickly.

Holding Yui in her arms, she used the warmth of her embrace to soothe her. Leaning close to Yui’s ear, she whispered gently:

”It’s alright.”

As she comforted Yui, Kotomi’s gaze drifted toward the window.

What Yui didn’t notice was the faint trace of dissatisfaction in Kotomi’s eyes.

It wasn’t that Kotomi disliked Yui. It was just that...

The total time from their recent encounters didn’t even add up to fifteen minutes—let alone half an hour.

The side effects of the Queen of All Females constitution required intimacy to ease them. But with their recent encounters being so short, they barely counted at all—making it impossible to relieve the steadily accumulating effects.

Kotomi Izumi felt a deep hunger inside her.

It wasn’t something that food could satisfy.

It was a hunger telling her that if she didn’t engage in intimacy with a girl soon, all the accumulated side effects would erupt violently.

She wanted to relieve it as soon as possible.

Normally, that would be simple.

But now...

Kotomi Izumi let out a quiet sigh.

Though she didn’t want to admit it, there was an undeniable truth—

Yui Yuigahama, in her current state, could not help her alleviate the side effects.

”Kotomi... I’m so useless. I can’t help you with anything... I can’t even satisfy you in something like this.”

”Silly dumpling, don’t overthink it. You’re just not in good condition. Alright, don’t be sad anymore. I’m a little thirsty—I want some oranges. Peel them for me, and make sure to remove the strings. I’m... a bit sleepy. I’ll take a short nap.” Kotomi Izumi said with a soft smile.
