Chapter 69 Journey of Eros
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
I came to Okinawa¹ on a honeymoon with Manami during Golden Week².
We planned a four-day, three-night trip: on the first day, we’d take the earliest flight to Okinawa and head to the Churaumi Aquarium³; on the second day, we’d spend the whole day at a popular theme park; on the third day, we’d enjoy snorkeling at the Blue Cave⁴ before entering Naha City⁵; and on the final day, we’d sightsee within the city. Fortunately, I managed to get my driver’s license just before Golden Week, so we rented a car and planned to take turns driving.
We arrived at the Churaumi Aquarium just before 1:00 PM. As expected of a popular tourist spot, it was people, people, people. We slowly made our way through the massive crowds.
Right after entering the aquarium, there was a coral tank.
”Isn’t coral a plant?” Manami asked.
When I read the explanation after she said that, I was surprised to find out that coral, which I thought was a plant, is actually an animal.
We were overwhelmed by the power of the nearly nine-meter-long whale shark and moved by the majesty of the manta rays swimming leisurely in the tank. There was a cafe where you could see the whale shark tank, but it was full, so we gave up on that.
Since we had time until the final dolphin show, we looked at the dolphins, sea turtles, and manatees. At the Dolphin Lagoon we visited first, we luckily made it in time for the feeding experience.
”Kyaaa, so cute!” Manami cried out.
She was overjoyed, but after getting splashed with water, she started being mean to the dolphin, saying, “I’m not giving you any more.”
Looking at the manatees, she ended up saying something quite blunt: “They’re supposed to be the model for mermaid legends, but they’re totally different from what I imagined.” (sweat)
At the dolphin show, there were empty seats in the front, but perhaps because she’d learned her lesson from getting splashed, we watched from relatively far back. Even so, she was moved by the dolphins’ intelligence and started acting selfish, saying, “We should have watched from closer up.”
Manami took photos with her smartphone and posted them to a group chat.
Afterward, we looked for souvenirs in the shop.
I looked at the stuffed animals, thinking about how there were many of them in Kotoha-chan’s room.
”What’s wrong?” Manami asked.
”I was just thinking there were a lot of stuffed animals in Kotoha-chan’s room.”
”Even at Christmas, she was clutching that teddy bear you bought her like it was precious,” Manami replied.
”How about this for Kotoha-chan?” I pointed to a whale shark stuffed toy.
”Cute. Isn’t that good? I think I’ll buy one too.”
Manami chose pouches, handkerchiefs, and keychains for the members who came to our wedding party and had them wrapped as sets.
The hotel was a room where you could see the ocean, and it had a balcony. Just as we entered the room, the sea was dyed bright red.
We went out onto the balcony, sat in the chairs provided, and watched in silence until sunset.
”Hirokazu-san, I’m so happy,” Manami said.
”Manami, I love you,” I said.
I kissed Manami.
After this, we had a meal at the restaurant, and hearing there was a hot spring, we washed away the day’s fatigue.
Since April started, the environment had changed significantly and things had been hectic, so it had been a while since Manami and I could spend time together leisurely. Even without conversation, we understand each other. Gazing at one another, our lips naturally overlapped.
How much time has passed since our lips met? Locking eyes, I am already inside her.
”Manami, I love you.”
”I love you too, Hirokazu-san.”
We spoke of love while I occasionally moved my hips.
”I’m embarrassed if you stare at me like that,” Manami whispered.
”It’s because you’re cute, Manami.”
Moving my hips slowly, I tapped against her.
”Ah… it’s slowly starting to feel good…” Manami tried to look away shyly.
”Don’t look away…”
”No… it’s embarrassing…”
I rubbed against her shallowly.
”Manami, thank you for everything.”
”Ah… me too… ah… thank you…”
As I continued to rub the shallow area at a constant speed, the sounds of squeezing and pressing began to be heard. Manami began to move her hips in time with mine.
”Ah… ahh… more… ah… deeper… ah… I want it… ah…”
”Manami, I love you.”
When I brought my face close, Manami kissed me.
”Mana is…”
The fact that Manami started calling herself “Mana” was proof that her excitement was rising considerably.
After hitting the shallow spot, I began to strike deeper.
”Ah… ah… ahhh… ah… ah… ahhh…”
When I hit deep, the tone of Manami’s voice changed.
”Ah… ah… ahhh… Hirokazu… ah… ah… nooo…”
She started calling me without an honorific. It seemed she was becoming even more aroused.
I rotated my hips as I thrust deep.
”Ah… ah… ahhh… Hirokazu… amazing… ah… ahhh…”
Manami put strength into the hands she had wrapped around my back, and I felt a bit of pain.
”Ah… ah… it’s… ah… different from usual… Mana… is feeling too much…”
I slammed my hips against her.
”Ah… amazing… ahhh… no… ah…”
I, too, was gradually reaching my limit.
Manami’s legs wrapped around my waist.
”No… I can’t… Mana, I’m going… ah, ahhh… no… I’m going…”
”I’m going too.”
”Yes… ahhh… Mana… is going… no… I’m going!”
At the same time Manami hugged me tight, I had a massive finish.
”Hirokazu… that was amazing…”
As usual, I lay down beside Manami and hugged her while stroking her hair.
”Manami, I love you. Let’s stay together forever.”
Manami nodded against my chest.

Character Insight:
This chapter highlights the deep intimacy and comfort between the newlyweds. Manami’s shift in speech—referring to herself as ‘Mana’ and dropping honorifics for Hirokazu—serves as a linguistic marker for her peaking vulnerability and passion. Hirokazu shows growth in his role as a husband, taking the initiative with his new driver’s license and being attentive to Manami’s emotional needs throughout their sightseeing and intimate moments.
