Volume 13 Chapter 290 Shirogane Aqua, Is This My Reward!
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
After Kanon’s post-birth comeback game tournament wrapped up, I invited everyone over to my place for another round of celebration.
”Everyone, thanks again for coming together for Kanon this time! Cheers!” I raised my glass of fizzy soda and gulped it down. Three whole days of madness—exhausting but ridiculously fun. Most of all, seeing everyone enjoying themselves made it worthwhile.
I flopped onto the sofa set up on stage, and Emily, quick as ever, darted out and grabbed the mic.
”Event Executive Committee’s Yukishiro Emily here! Everyone, thank you for gathering on such a fine day—oh, what’s that? Cut the useless preamble? Seems we’ve got a certain impatient Kohina Yukari-san in the audience, so without further delay, I’d like to present the prize to our winning team!”
Oh right. The winning team’s prize… what was it again? The board just said secret. If it turned out to be a kiss from Kanon as a reward, what then!? My pulse spiked. Ako’s team had merged with Ayana and Iria’s group, then dissolved their alliance at the end, leaving a small army—Ako, Ayana, Maron, Fran, Oto, Iria, Hisui, Lapis, Subaru, Kukuri, Fi, Haa, Miyako… thirteen of them total.
”And the prize for the champions is—the right to share your ideal kiss with Aqua-sama!”
”Yesss!” I jumped up, fist pumping, tears springing to my eyes. Kohina-senpai gave me that exasperated really? look, but I couldn’t help it—I was over the moon!!
”But! This right can only be used here, on stage!”
Screams and squeals erupted all around. Perfect. I love a good public embarrassment game!
”Damn, if only I hadn’t played the villain!”
”Totally blindsided!”
”Completely forgot Emily was on the committee…”
”My kneeling bow won’t fix this!?” (T/N: dogeza — kneeling apology gesture.)
”Prime Minister, a leader of a country doesn’t grovel so lightly!”
Grandmother Mary, Ranko Oba-chan, and Merry-san all dropped to the floor in despair. Hey, hey—no need for theatrics. If it’s just kisses, I’ll give you plenty anytime! After all, who else but me, Shirogane Aqua—the world’s number one man for kissing, and the easiest-to-kiss man alive!
”So then… who’s first?”
”Me, me! Fran’s going first!” she shouted, bouncing up and down.
Uh-oh. Legal trouble incoming? In this world, so long as it’s consensual, even adult stuff before puberty isn’t prosecuted, but kissing a grade-schooler onstage? That still looked bad. She launched herself at me, and I caught her in my arms.
”Fran-chan, what kind of kiss do you want?”
”This kind.”
It was over in a heartbeat. Her lips brushed mine—light, fleeting. My brain short-circuited. Did this little devil just steal my lips outright!? Future mom candidate indeed—Fran-chan always outdoes my expectations.
”Aqua-sama, that was Fran’s first kiss. Did it make your heart race?”
”Yeah. It really did. Thanks for choosing me for your first.”
Satisfied, she gave me one more tight hug and hopped offstage.
”Next is Fi! Come on, Haa, hurry up!”
”Wait, Fi-chan. Watch your step,” Haa said, steady as a big sister.
Honestly, those two were reversed. Haa looked like the middle schooler, and Fi like the grade schooler, but nope—Haa was the younger one. They climbed the stage and plopped side by side on my lap. Great. From the outside, this scene could get me thrown straight in jail.
”What kind of kiss do you two want?” I asked.
They leaned together, whispering conspiratorially. I could hear every word, of course, but I pretended not to. Their cuteness made my chest feel warm.
”Papa, close your eyes.”
”Close them now!”
”Okay.”
I obeyed. Then—two soft, childlike lips pressed against both my cheeks at once. Ah. So it wasn’t about giving kisses, but about being kissed. These kids were more forward than Ayana herself—and she’s already done way more than kissing, but she still can’t bring herself to start it!
I glanced over at Ayana, who was blushing furiously, trying to look anywhere but me.
”Thank you, both of you. That made me so happy.”
”You’re welcome~nano!
”Papa, when Big Sister One and Two sulk and won’t kiss you, I’ll do it plenty! They always give in anyway, so why are they so annoying about it?”
”Haa-chan!” I winced. “Stop stirring the pot!”
Laughter filled the room, while Kanon and Victoria blushed hard enough to rival ripe peaches. Honestly… maybe the real adult among the three sisters was elementary school Haa-chan.
”Alright, next up!” Emily called.
Ako’s teammates glanced at each other nervously.
”What’s wrong, everyone? The kids came charging out all fearless, but the big sisters are shy, huh?” Emily teased.
No no, this was Ayana’s cue. She needed to lead by example. I turned a burning stare toward her as she tried to hide in the corner. Nice try—you can’t escape me!
”Lapis, Miyako, let’s go together!” Subaru tugged them along.
”W-wait, Subaru-chan!”
”M-me too… finally…”
The three of them climbed the stage. They were set to graduate from St. Clarice Middle School in March, so lately they’d stepped back from activities to focus on exams. That only made this moment more bittersweet.
I thought, If this “event” could be a little breath of fresh air for the three of them, I’d be glad.
”Um, so, what should we do?” Subaru asked.
”Subaru-chan, you didn’t even think this far!?”
”Subaru-chan, tell me that’s a joke!”
Well, having momentum wasn’t bad. Look at me, or Emily-oneesan, or Kaede-oneesan below the stage. The three of us had always moved with nothing but momentum, and we’d never regretted it!
”Alright then… let’s start by having Aqua stand up.”
So, just get up from the couch? Fine. I stood as told and stepped forward—only to spot a wild banana peel lying on the floor.
”Why is there a banana heeereeee!”
My foot slipped, and I tumbled, crashing headfirst into Lapis’s flat chest. The shock sent her clothes askew, and my finger somehow snagged her bra strap, pulling it loose.
”Mm!”
Before I could stop it, my lips brushed directly against her n**ple, and the accident made me suck at her breast. This was completely out of my control—an unavoidable accident! Or so I desperately justified in my head as I kept at it.
”A-ah, onii-sama… no, please…”
Her frail little hands pressed frantically at my head. Feeling sorry for her, I shielded her from view and let her go.
”To beg for a kiss like that—truly the sister of Aqua-sama! Forgive me, Lapis-chan, I’ve underestimated you,” Emily said with mock solemnity.
”Y-you’ve got it wrong! Don’t get the wrong idea, Emily-oneesan!!”
Lapis fixed her clothes, face blazing red. As always, my sister was the cutest in the world. That’s when I forgot about the banana peel still at my feet.
”Ah, nooooooo!”
One step back, and I performed another acrobatic, miracle-worthy slip before everyone’s eyes.
”A-aqua-oniisan!?” Subaru gasped.
Somehow my hand slipped inside her sports bra as I fell, and in a tangled heap, I ended up kissing her most important spot in a literal six-nine position.
How in the world did I fall like this!?
The artistry was apparently so impressive that Emily and Pegonia held up placards with a perfect “10.”
”N-no… your breath, it’s right there, ahh…” Subaru’s small body shuddered.
Yeah, that was definitely itte (T/N: ecchi slang, “came/finished”). Emily, ever thoughtful, hurried over with a banner to shield her, and I carefully fixed Subaru’s clothes before trying to settle her on the stretcher we’d stashed backstage. She refused, mortified, and instead sat up to be comforted by Lapis.
”I-I’m so sorry for everything…”
”Subaru-tan, thank you. I’ll take full responsibility for this!!”
Thank god Toa wasn’t here to see this disaster. Emily, delaying the boys’ arrival, deserved a medal.
”Up we gooo!”
As they say, things happen in threes (T/N: pun twist on proverb “nido aru koto wa sando aru” = “if something happens twice, it’ll happen three times”). I slipped on yet another banana peel and this time dove into a soft cushion. Relieved, I sat up—only to realize the “cushion” was Miyako’s breasts, my hands kneading them firmly.
”N-no, stop… that’s my chest you’re squeezing…”
”M-Miyako-chan!?”
Somehow fate struck again, and my lips pressed right into her deep cleavage. Inside, I threw both fists up in triumph.
”…Staaare…”
Eh? Lapis, Subaru—why were they suddenly glaring daggers at me? My heart twinged under their stares, and I gently released Miyako.
”Miyako-chan, thank you. Really, thank you!”
”Ah, n-no. Th-thank you…”
Blushing hard, she glanced down at the kiss mark on her chest.
”Middle schoolers sure have unstoppable hormones, huh,” Emily teased.
”Emily-oneesan!?”
”Ugh…”
”…”
The trio of red-faced girls squirmed under her teasing.
”But don’t worry—we were all the same at your age!”
The women in the crowd clapped in agreement, and even the men nodded along. I joined in, applauding the bright future of these students as they scurried offstage, ears burning red.
”Alright then, let’s go, first-year quartet,” Iria said.
”W-wait, Iria-san, I’m not ready!”
”M-me neither…”
”…same here.”
With her trademark energy, Iria shoved Hisui, Kukuri, and Oto up onto the stage. Meanwhile, Kohina-senpai collected the scattered banana peels.
”Eh? You’re… actually picking them up?” I asked.
”What, got a problem with that?” she snapped, glaring at me. “You’re already an idiot. If you smack your head again, what then?”
”Y-yes ma’am…”
She had a point. Better to collect them before a real accident.
”So, who’s first?”
”Me! I want Aqua-sama to kiss me! Like with Kanon-san—kneeling, on my hand, please!!”
Iria shot her hand up, eyes sparkling. Well, if that’s what she wanted, I’d give her my best.
I switched into gallant mode, dropped to one knee before her, and asked, “May I borrow your hand, princess?”
”Yes!”
Beaming, she held it out. I took her hand, lifted it slowly, then fixed her with a heated gaze.
The crowd squealed.
”A-ah…”
Overwhelmed, Iria faltered, her eyes darting away. That was my moment. I brushed her fingertips, then kissed her palm, then the back of her hand—each step deliberate.
Imagine it—this is how I’ll kiss you.
”Ahhhhhh!”
She covered her blazing face with both hands. Oops, maybe I overdid it. But the audience below roared with approval.
”T-thank you so much,” she whispered.
”Thank you too, Iria,” I said with a smile.
I watched Iria’s delighted face with satisfaction. But then, behind her, I spotted Ai being carried away on a stretcher. The sight gave me a strange, unsettled feeling.
”N-next is me.”
Kukuri-chan stepped forward.
”Aqua-senpai, please stay just like that.”
I nodded, and she approached slowly. My eyes locked on her chest as she drew closer, and I steeled myself. This was definitely leading to a kiss on her breasts!
But instead, something soft pressed against my forehead.
Smack.
A kiss.
”Blessings for your future, Aqua-senpai,” Kukuri-chan said.
The crowd erupted in cheers. This was one of those kisses that brought good fortune, no doubt.
Goriyaku aru yatsu~ (T/N: pun on goriyaku—means divine blessing/benefit).
Kukuri-chan, I’m so sorry for even thinking about breasts—please forgive my shameless mind!
”Th-thank you, Kukuri-chan.”
”You’re welcome, Aqua-senpai,” she replied with a radiant smile.
Her expression purified every impure thought left in me.
”Th-then, next is me!”
Hisui-chan approached with determined steps. My heart thudded. Surely she wasn’t planning to kiss me too? The thought made me nervous—after all, she’d been my favorite idol in my past life.
”Um, Aqua-sama, where would you like me to kiss you? Or, well, where would you like to be kissed? I’ll do my best!”
”W-what!?”
She was letting me choose!? Unbelievable. As expected of my ultimate favorite—her fanservice level was on another dimension.
”Uh, then… your… n-neck. May I kiss your neck?”
”Neck!? Ah, y-yes… understood.”
Coward! I mentally slammed my head against a wall. Still, Hisui unbuttoned her shirt slightly and pulled it open enough to reveal lace at her chest, baring her neck for me.
”P-please.”
Wait—this was seriously erotic. With a straight face, I grabbed her shoulders and leaned closer.
”…Hehe, wait, that tickles.”
Crap. My excited breathing was hitting her neck too hard. I steadied myself, then lightly brushed my tongue over the vein at her throat and kissed her like a vampire would.
”Mmm…”
Her soft moan slipped out. That was dangerous. Overcome, I left a clear kiss mark on her neck.
”Thank you, Hisui. That was wonderful.”
”Y-yes. I thought so too.”
She looked dazed, then rubbed her belly gently.
”…Oh no. What if I get pregnant?”
Hisui!? Kisses don’t make babies! Her knowledge worried me, but maybe that was normal? I pushed the thought aside and turned to Oto-san, the last one waiting.
”…I’ve never filmed a kiss scene before. Could I practice—or rather, could you coach me?”
”Of course,” I said.
I lifted her up, and we stared into each other’s eyes.
”See? When you gaze at each other like this, don’t you feel like kissing?”
”Yes… I want to kiss. So this is how you create the atmosphere.”
I nodded. “Right. And do you notice how we’re both waiting for the perfect timing?”
”Yes. But I don’t know when to go for it.”
When she lowered her gaze, I seized the moment and kissed her lips.
”Like that.”
”I see…”
Her cheeks tinged pink as she touched her lips, lost in the lingering sensation. Clearly, the practice kiss mattered less to her than the kiss itself.
”Thank you. That was very educational.”
”Thank you too. If you’d like more practice anytime, just let me know,” I added casually, sneaking in the promise of future rehearsals.
”Is that really okay?”
”Of course. I always practice with Ayana anyway.”
”Hey!”
Ayana stormed onto the stage, face red. I grinned.
”Ah.”
She realized too late she’d fallen into my trap. Once on stage, an idol couldn’t back down.
”Ugh…”
I pulled her into my arms, stroking her head gently.
”Then, Ayana, shall we show everyone the results of our kiss practice?”
”Why do you get to decide!?” she snapped.
Details, details. As someone who inherited Yukari-senpai-ism’s spirit, she knew what that meant.
I leaned in slowly—only for Ayana to suddenly kiss me first.
”Mmph.”
Her lips were soft and confident. She pulled back, smirking in triumph.
”Revenge. Bet you didn’t expect me to take the lead.”
”Ayana… I love you!”
I kissed her again, going for a deep one, but she swatted at my chest in protest. Reluctantly, I pulled back.
”Idiot! Pervert! I hate you! I’m not practicing kisses with you anymore!” Ayana snapped.
Her words were sharp, but her face betrayed her. She wasn’t unhappy in the slightest—that was Ayana’s charm.
”Thanks, Ayana. Let’s kiss again sometime,” I said.
”I said no!”
But I knew what she really meant. No more practice. Real, genuine ones as lovers? That was another story.
When I looked at her with that unspoken plea in my eyes, Ayana puffed up her cheeks and turned her head away with a huff.
”Guh-heh-heh. Ayana-chan’s kiss was the best. Now then, the only one left is—ugh, you reek of alcohol!”
”Heehee, it’s my turn next,” Maron said, stumbling toward the stage.
She was completely gone, drunk beyond saving. By the time I realized I was doomed, she had already pushed me down flat.
”Mmh… smooch… ah… mmm… kiss kiss kiss… ahh… yes, open your mouth more… that’s it, good boy… so skilled… ahh… slurp…”
It was a full, devouring deep kiss. My mouth was invaded completely, overpowered. Just from the kiss, Maron stole everything from me. For what felt like ten minutes straight, I could only lie there while she thoroughly had her way until she was satisfied.
”Stooop! Any more and this becomes… highly unsuitable education for a pure maiden’s upbringing! By management decision, we’re cutting it off here! Anything else, do it in your room!”
Even Emily, who was usually relaxed about these things, stepped in and yanked Maron off me. Apparently, one of the staff had accidentally served her wine instead of grape juice. I’d reward that staff member later. For now, I carefully held the limp, tipsy Maron and helped her sit upright.
”Uuugh… Aqua-kun, I’m sorry,” she mumbled.
”Maron-san, please don’t apologize. Honestly, it was… really, really great! Thank you so much!” I said.
Let’s be real: in what world would there exist a Shirogane Aqua who hated being pushed down by a gorgeous, busty older woman and smothered with a deep kiss? Exactly. None. So don’t worry about it, Maron-san. In fact, if you made a habit of ambushing me like this, I’d be grateful!
”Well then… that leaves just one person,” I said.
All eyes turned to Ako.
”So I’m last,” Ako murmured. She stepped gracefully onto the stage and walked toward me.
”Aqua-kun. Look under the stage.”
”Huh?”
I did as she said and glanced down. Everyone was there, flushed faces turned upward, watching me intently.
”You don’t need my kiss. Instead, could you kiss everyone else? That’s my share.” With that, Ako descended the stage as quickly as she’d come.
”Tch… I really wanted to kiss Ako,” I muttered. But if that was her wish, I’d honor it. “Thanks, Ako. I’ll give it my all.”
I hopped down from the stage and began working my way through the crowd.
”Ow!”
”Why are you trying to kiss me too, idiot?!” Kohina-senpai barked, shoving me back with a sharp push.
Tch. I thought maybe I could get away with it in the flow of the moment, but no luck. Rejected outright.
