"Rei Ao-kun, why are you stopping? Keep going!"
Outside the Service Club room, Yui froze.
It sounded like Yumiko's voice.
She looked around the hallway.
It was completely empty.
"No one's around...am I hearing things?"
Puzzled, Yui touched her ear.
"Rei Ao-kun, I like you. Do you like me?"
"Can't you tell how deep my feelings are? Do you want it even deeper?"
Yui's eyes went wide.
This time, she was sure she hadn't misheard.
It was definitely Yumiko's voice—and Rei Ao's too.
All coming from inside the Service Club.
So that's why the door was locked.
But... what are they saying in there?
And didn't Yumiko say she wasn't feeling well?
Instead of knocking, Yui pressed her ear to the door and listened.
Moments later, she slowly stepped away from the door, dazed, stumbling backward.
Her face bright red, her eyes brimming with embarrassment.
She clamped a hand over her mouth to keep from making a sound.
Yui's mind went blank.
Even though she'd known about the relationship between Rei Ao and Yumiko for some time, she'd never imagined she'd stumble upon them .
And in the Service Club room, of all places.
Yui glanced up at the Service Club sign on the door, which suddenly felt glaringly bright.
Originally, the so-called "Service Club" wasn't really a service club.
Now it had turned into an actual... "service" club.
Yumiko's voice grew even louder.
A shiver, as if ants were crawling all over her body, left Yui weak in the knees.
She pressed her lips tight, her gaze turbulent.
One was the boy she liked; the other was her best friend.
She could knock on the door and stop them; she could open it and confront them.
But Yuigahama Yui chose to run away.
Her head was a mess; at this point, she had no idea how to deal with any of this.
Inside the Service Club
Yumiko clung tightly to Rei Ao's neck, calling out his name by instinct every time she was jostled.
Her voice grew softer yet somehow louder each time.
Rei Ao chuckled. "Alright, enough pretending. You've already scared Yui away."
Yumiko's eyes went blank, as though confused. The bursts of intense stimulation had made her forget about Yui altogether.
Hearing Rei Ao mention her brought Yumiko back from that daze.
He noticed her confusion.
"You didn't...?" Rei Ao asked with a strange expression.
Seeing right through her, Yumiko's face turned completely red—like she'd been unmasked. At this point, she gave up trying to hide it.
"That's right. It felt so good just now, I didn't care if Yui heard or not!"
Rei Ao raised an eyebrow, leaning in. "So you weren't enjoying yourself before?"
Another rush of pleasure almost made Yumiko's eyes roll back, but she managed to hold on.
Worried he might misunderstand, she hurried to explain, "No, that's not it. It felt amazing before too, it's just...just..."
Flustered and shy, she couldn't meet Rei Ao's gaze. Finally biting her lip, she admitted, "Before, I was holding back on purpose because it was just...too embarrassing."
"So you're saying now, Yumiko, you're not embarrassed anymore?"
The corners of Rei Ao's mouth curved into a faint smile, and his eyes lit up with heat.
"Yumiko, I love seeing you completely let go—when you do, it fires me up even more."
That heated gaze made Yumiko's heart thump like a startled fawn.
"Ugh...mmm...but...but people might come down the hallway..."
"Don't worry. Even if you scream until the sky falls, nobody outside will hear a thing."
True to his word, he acted.
Sound is transmitted by the vibration of molecules in the air. If the air were turned into a vacuum, there would be no molecules to vibrate, and no sound could travel.
Even in a non-vacuum environment, getting the molecules not to vibrate at all seems impossible from a typical scientific perspective.
But for Rei Ao, it was child's play. He froze the movement of the molecules, creating a layer of perfectly still air between the Service Club room and the outside.
Yumiko had no idea what he had done. She only heard him say, "Alright, Yumiko. Now show me the side of you that's completely unleashed—just like you've spread your legs wide."
Before she could react, Rei Ao began again with relentless force.
"I—I don't care anymore!!!"
A jolt of electricity shot through her mind. Yumiko no longer cared what Rei Ao had done; all she wanted was to let go and face her own desires head-on.
"So that's basically everything."
Isshiki Iroha finally finished describing her secret crush on Rei Ao.
Yukino understood: Isshiki had been captivated by the sight of Rei Ao's flair and intensity during PE class. She also admired his top ranking in school, plus the looks and physique that so many girls liked.
But Isshiki herself didn't actually know Rei Ao; they'd never even spoken a word to each other. It was textbook lovestruck-underclassman behavior, similar to other students who were obsessed with the school's "idols."
Of course, that was only Yukino's impression from what Isshiki said—she didn't know if Isshiki was hiding anything else. Yukino felt at a loss. All she could think was that Rei Ao was a truly sinful man.
She also didn't want to get involved. She'd just treat it as overhearing a piece of gossip.
But reality rarely cooperates. Isshiki suddenly asked offhand, "Oh yeah, Yukinoshita-senpai, you're a third-year too. Do you know Rei Ao-senpai?"
Caught off guard, Yukino hesitated under Isshiki's eager gaze. She knew well that Rei Ao was...someone with many romantic entanglements. For one reason or another, she really didn't want Isshiki getting involved with him.
Normally, she could have just shaken her head and said "Not really," and that would settle it. But given her insistence on always being correct, Yukino couldn't lie to such a straightforward question.
Isshiki looked like she'd discovered a whole new continent.
"So you and Rei Ao-senpai are friends, Yukinoshita-senpai?"
"Friends you see often?"
"Do you two live nearby?"
Isshiki tried to keep going, but Yukino hurriedly cut her off, sweating nervously. If she didn't stop her, she'd soon be giving everything away.
As expected, she wasn't good at dealing with people whose personalities resembled her sister's!
