Chapter 68: Kouta feels the winds of change.

At the manga cafe we went on a little date to, we were browsing some of the art that was being displayed, when one of the artists at the many tables set up had recognized me easily enough as I looked over somem artwork with Ruru. 

It was Kobayashi Natsume.

“Oh, it’s Kouta!  What brings you here? And who is this one?”  She gives Ruru a good looking over from the table she’s sitting at.

“This is my lover, Yoragata Ruru.” I say with confidence.

“Decided to take the good one out on a date today?  It’s understandable.  But don’t punish Shi-chan too long for bein’ Shi-chan.  That girl won’t understand ya’ just ignorin’ her.” she says in her easy to listen tone.

“You have a different idea of what I should be doing then?”  I ask.

“No, It’s fine with me that you are escapin’ from reality right now with this legal loli here, but after thinkin’ about what ya’ said earlier yesterday, I realize that I didn’t really get ta’ tell ya’ what I think ya’ need to do about your situation.  And that’s ta’ have good long sit down talk with her.  I think about the worst thing ya’ could do, is to cut her off so suddenly ‘cause of what she did. No matter if any of ya’ were at fault for it or not. And if ya’ love her, like she thinks ya’ do, then you gotta be the man she thinks you are, and show her you won’t just throw her away at every little thing like that.” She imparts her thoughts to me.

“How can you call what she did a ‘little thing’?” I say, upset at what she imagines as a little indiscretion.

“Because she’s in love with ya’.  What’s anything else in the world compared ta’ what she thinks of your love?  It’s a trifle.  Think of it like this.  All of humanity is about ta’ die, and ta’ save it, you just gotta sleep with some ol’ baba.  Would you do it?  We’re talkin’ the whole world. Just one quickie with an ol’ lady. If you choose to, no harm, no foul.  If you don’t then nothing matters anyways, ‘cause your whole world is gonna end anyway.”

…

Nacchan has a hard to understand accent, but I can say for sure her words were easy to understand and digest.  Also they were much the same as everyone else’s so far.   I am going to have to have a serious conversation with Shi-chan it seems, and I can’t hold it off for as long as I would like until my anger and unhappiness at the situation would get to a point I would prefer it at.

I can handle it tomorrow, or the next day.  Just a few minutes at the apartment to have a quick chat, while I collect some things with Ruru… The only problem I can think of is… Kanae.

Well, with Nacchan’s advice freshly given to Ruru and myself, Ruru introduces herself as the Author of ‘It Can’t Be XXX!!!’ and Natsume-san is very surprised.

“I love that light novel!  Especially the character of Mihiro! I love her charming personality, and her shamelessness!” 

Natsume is a fan it seems.

The two get to discussing the novel, and I barely listen, instead looking at all the great artwork and artists here at the art jam.  

There must be twenty-four people here including Natsume who are drawing and showing off portfolios to people interested in buying art wholesale from the artists themselves, as well as also taking commissions for quick pocket money.

While all that activity is going on, a text hits my phone.

[Onee-chan  (1)

(1) Just read it.]

I stare at it for a bit, wondering if I should.

After the events that have happened, there is no way I can’t see what crazy justification she has for any of it.

To my surprise, it wasn’t anything like that.

[Onee-chan (1)

Just read it.

Don’t blame Shi-chan.  None of it was her fault, it was mine.  She did it all believing it was what you wanted. And this is what you don’t understand because you are such a good boy, Kouta.  The real filth inside of people, and how it’s so hard to get clean once you’ve been tainted by it.

Forgive Shi-chan. But do yourself and herself a favor and find a way to let her go. Create a way to have her forget you and move on with her life.  Take that marriage form and go to the government office and marry Ruru instead.  You will never meet a more compatible good girl in your life.  She will be loyal and honest and all the things you deserve to have, in the clean world.  

Shi-chan is not someone you can understand how to love as long as you remain with your current morality, and it’s cruel of you to do so. But sometimes life has to teach you that lesson when you won’t learn it willingly.

I took my laptop and left the apartment. If you and Shi-chan and Ruru would be so kind as to box my clothes up, I’ll have a mover come on tuesday while you are at school to get them, so as to not disturb you. I’ll be crashing at a friend’s place or the office until I can pick myself up.

Tend your garden as best you can, Kouta.

It seems even if we break ties, I will always be your Onee-chan. If it gets too rough, and you can stomach me, I will always be a phone call away should you ever need anything...]

…

Fucking Kanae.

Why does everyone insist on it?  Why does everyone think I can’t love her?  Am I mad that she had her mouth around dad’s cock? Fuck yeah I’m furious.

Am I able to forgive her?

I probably will.

I do love her.  But I’m mad!  Why can’t I be mad?  She fucked up!  Everyone else is trying to tell me I need to be dragged down into some pit of depravity before I can understand, and I’m getting sick of it!

“Kouta-kun!  Guess what!”

Ruru interrupts my internal monologue of frustration to tell me some interesting news.

“Natsume-san here is actually B1tchxS!ister!!!  She’s the pixi artist I wanted to do my illustrations for the book!”

“Hee~ That’s cool. So Natsume-san was a god-tier artist huh?” I says surprised.

“Hehe~ yeah.  I spent my entire childhood drawing.  Even my Nii-chan suggested I try and do something with my talent.” Natsume-san beams

“So, have you decided to help Ruru?” I ask.

“Maybe.” she teases.

“Maybe?”

“I have a price, but it’s not monetary.” she clarifies.

“Don’t worry Kouta-kun, What she’s asking isn’t necessary. I’ll find someone else.” Ruru states a bit worried.

“Not monetary?”

“Nope.”

“Then what?”

“One night with me.  I want Shi-chan to know I stole you for one night as payback.” Natsume says such a thing casually.

“That’s a bit…” I say hesitantly.

“I know.  I’m not expecting you to, but I’ve got my reasons.  Sorry Kouta, but that’s how it is.” Natsume confirms.

I look to Ruru, but she just shakes her head.

“Kouta-kun…”

“Whatever you want, Ruru.” I say.

“Eh?”

“Whatever you want.  If you want me to sleep with her to get your book illustrations, I’ll leave it up to you.”

“N..no Kouta-kun.  Don’t worry about it.”

I shrug.  I’m so angry and apathetic about the text message I got from Kanae that I frankly don’t care right now.  If I sleep with Natsume, that’ll dirty me, right?  Will that be enough?

Will that help?

…

I don’t want to though.

“I’m going to let Ruru decide.  She’ll let you know, okay?”

“Fine with me… Onii-chan <3” Natsume-san says, with emphasis.

Sigh.

Another strange one has entered somehow into the mix.  Shi-chan might take issue with it. She apparently did when it was time for me to be with Ruru.

She played it up like it was not a big deal when we were all flirting around.  But when it actually came time, she had wanted me to stop, and it was bad enough to have Kanae stop me from knowing at her behest.

It’s strange though.  Couldn’t she have texted Kanae to tell her to say stop, even after making her put on mute?

Why go through the trouble of Muting the phone that time too?

It didn’t make sense to me.

Natsume-san said Shi-chan was always Wild.  But the person on the phone was almost certainly Angel Nakada.

Was I missing something?

Were their emotional states different somehow?

Maybe I do need to have a sit down talk with her.

I leave those thoughts for now, and just enjoy browsing the other artists with Ruru, leaving Natsume-san to do what she originally was here to do.

We stay here for a few hours, and eventually exit the venue.

Ruru is quick to fish out a smoke before she realises it’s her last one.

“Kouta, I need to stop at the Seven.  Want to drop by the house afterwards to check for anything you might want to take to Hiromi’s?”

I think it’s a bad idea, but I’m going to have to go there eventually.  It’s a coward’s move to have Ruru do all of that for me.  I’m the man of the relationship, and the whole idea of renting that place was my own, even if Kanae helped pay for it.

So we stop by the Seven, and Ruru purchases the supplies she needs.  I picked up a cherry cola for myself, and a hot dog.  I am a bit hungry from the outing, and just needed a little bit of caloric intake to replenish the lovemaking I did with Ruru earlier as well.

“I think today might be a bust.  I need to work on some stuff for work tomorrow anyway or I’ll catch hell from Chiba-san.  Thankfully it’s not much, I should be able to finish it in a couple hours.  You said Shi-chan had somewhere else to be, right?”

“Yeah, she said that to me.”

“Alright, then let’s head to the apartment real quick, and take care of what we need to.”

Ruru steals a bite of my hotdog along the way home.

It’s not the only hotdog I want her to steal a bite of.

I’m a pervert, I know.  But my Ruru is my strength now.  Nakada-san is right.  She can heal me, I’m sure of it.

We arrive at the apartment, and I put the key in the door and open it.

There is a mess on the kitchen floor, it smells like stale beer.  Otherwise, the house seems undisturbed.

I head to the bedroom to look inside, just in case, but there is no Nakada-san there.

Whew.

I really would have liked to avoid dealing with that today.

Ruru says she needs to go next door for a moment, so I decided to head into the hybrid office room.

There is just my beast PC and Nakada-san’s laptop.

She didn’t take it?

That’s understandable.  If she was going to write, she’d need a clear head to do so.  She’s probably busy thinking of other things, so I’ll set up a time to sit down with her, with Ruru at my side to help me stay as calm as I can as I figure out where to go from here.

I won’t abandon her.

But I will have to punish her so she understands she is not allowed to do that kind of thing again.

Then I suppose… I’ll have Ruru try and explain to me what her feelings are on the matter.

I haven’t communicated properly with her.  It’s just been one ecchi thing after another.

There has to be more to a relationship than sex, right?

I mean, was that all my interest in Nakada-san was?

I feel the urge so I head to the bathroom.  I open the door, and there is a person in there, completely naked, and suddenly very happy to see me!

“Kouta!”

She springs forward covered in soap suds and pounces on me, taking me to the floor.

“Kouta finally came home to me!”

She showers me with kisses, and I realize how quick her actions were.

I manage to gain enough grip to push her off of me.

When I think logically about it.  It was about this long before I bowled over Kanae after seeing her move on my old man, and stopped watching.

Old man, did it take you this long to react?  You did fuck her, right?  She was lying about stopping, right?

…

“FUCK!”  I yell suddenly.

Shi-chan gets up and moves next to a wall, and curls into a naked ball, with her knees up and her head tucked between them.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!!!!”

She’s rocking a bit forward and back against the wall.

Is she scared of me yelling?

How should I deal with this situation.

Where is Ruru?

Oh yeah, she’s next door.

sigh.

“Go finish taking a bath.  Get dressed then sit on the couch.  We’ll have a talk, but I want Ruru present, okay?” I say sternly to her.

She doesn’t even respond.  She quickly jumps up and into the shower, forgetting to close the door.  I shut it for her.

I walk over to the living room table and see Ruru’s pack of Golden 8’s and think to myself, this is definitely how people get started on this shit.

I sit down, and close my eyes, greatly unprepared for what’s to come.

(Secret 57:  On a seperate foray to the Seven, Kouta and Angel Nakada had a mini hotdog eating contest.  He had lost by four hotdogs.  Her’s were also topped with more condiments than his.)
