Tokino plopped down naked on the bed and looked intimately at me.

“…Haruto, hurry up and take your clothes off,” she said in an assertive tone.

“What…w-we’re continuing?”

“Well… it would be pretty stupid if we stopped here… Doing nothing…”

I hurriedly complied. Opening the window indicated by Tokino, I toggled off the lamp on the nightstand.

Because of the hurried start, there was no romantic mood to speak of. Sitting on the bed which was slightly too small for the two of us, we slowly did as much as our bodies would allow.

The dim blue moonlight filtered through the window, casting complex shadows on the bed.

Since the Coelestis estate was situated high up in the sky by a hand-like statue, the city folk would never hear us at night. The only thing that I could hear was the faint breathing of my beautiful, lavender-haired wife, and my alarm-like heartbeat which seems to echo around the room.

Unfortunately, my serenity was briefly halted by Hokori’s infernal singing in the karaoke room downstairs. “~Sono chi no sadame~” was what my ears had to go through.

By this time, Tokino and I had removed all of our clothing. We had been kneeling on the bed in front of one another for about 2 and a half minutes. I couldn’t read Tokino’s expression as she balled up her fists on her knees and looked down. I thought that I should probably be the one to take the first action in this situation, but not being able to predict the outcomes of any of my choices, I sat in petrified silence (uh oh… my bowels…). I considered what would happen if I were to yell out, “Sorry!” and wore back minimal clothing at mach speed before escaping out of the room. Would she say, “I guess it can’t be helped~” and forgive me when we meet again tomorrow? ―There’s no way she would.

Thankfully, I stayed in the bathroom for five minutes. But throughout my time there, I had to press my index fingers as hard as I could when I heard booming trumpets from the karaoke room. If I remembered this song correctly, the title started with “crazy noisy–”

(I hope to God Yukino is fast asleep…)

Remembering back to my distant previous life, I was only 14 the first time I played Pokémon Sword, even though it was obsolete at that point. The spring of 8th grade. I don’t want to really recall how I was at that time, but I sacrificed all of the sexual energy that starts to awaken in all boys around that age in order to immerse myself into competitive play. Gardevoir’s flauntingly gorgeous demeanor made my heart bounce, and don’t get me started with Lopunny and Tsareena (those legs…). As a result, I had never been in a situation where I would be alone with a girl in her room. Obviously, I had also never been naked with a girl before, until my marriage.

To tell the truth, I would have liked for Tokino, who I knew was probably a few years older than me (and thus had expertise in this area) to take the lead. However, it seemed that no one in Vetus, except for her, viewed me as being older than I really was. Since I had never denied any of it, there’s no way that I could say to her in this situation, “Sorry, but I’m actually…”

“~Fighting Gold, Jibun no michi wo, shinjita mono dake ga itsuka kagayakeru~”

My words were utterly drowned.

Either way, I strengthened my resolve. Even if I didn’t have the knowledge or the experience, I had never loved or had felt such intense feelings for someone like I have for Tokino (did I say that right?).

Anyways, ever since my life in Coelestis started, there were numerous times when I was in a situation where I told myself, “You can’t run away from that savage man no matter what,” but here I had to muster up greater willpower than that as I extended my right hand and moved my body forward.

My fingertip softly touched the gentle curve that was Tokino’s shoulder. Her body quivered sharply. I slowly traced a path from the line of her collarbone to the nape of her neck. Unfortunately, I hurt her a bit.

Hokori’s “~Dokomademo chase you~” from outside startled me beyond belief. Luckily, Tokino paid no mind and I continued on.

“N…mm…”

Tokino let out a soft moan as her eyes closed. The blood rushed to her cheeks and her eyebrows furrowed.

For some time I watched Tokino’s responses in secret delight as I touched her all over the place. Slightly excited by her fresh reactions, I went a bit overboard as I kept my fingertip at a point where I was just barely touching her and continued to slowly glide smoothly across her skin. I crawled down her arms which were firmly hiding both breasts, circled around her stomach and reversed direction up her arms again.

“Ah…oh…mm… Aaaagh! Haruto…what are you doing?”

I never forgave myself that night when I hurt Tokino by accident once again. If it were not for Hokori’s incredibly loud “~Shining justice mebae te~” outside, this would have gone smoother.

“I’m sorry…”

“No…it’s okay… Continue…”

Every time my finger moved, Tokino’s body would shake and a soft moan would leak out. After caressing her entire body, I put my right hand’s finger under her small chin and lifted her head up. With my left index finger, I diligently traced her wet, shining, cherry-colored lips.

“No…not just…your finger…”

A softly blushing Tokino opened her eyes slightly and looked at me pleadingly.

“Kiss…me…”

“…”

I silently moved my face closer. Tokino’s lips parted slightly as if they could not wait any longer. But, instead of fastening our lips together, I softly poked her lower lip with the tip of my tongue.

“Mm…”

As if seeking me out, Tokino stuck out her tongue, but I restrained myself and moved to avoid her before softly touching her with the tip of my tongue.

“Ah, mm…ah…”

Tokino let out a irritated sound of both anticipation and need as I abruptly plunged my tongue into her mouth.

“Ah—mm!”

I violently swished my tongue around. I would have enjoyed it more, but alas, Hokori roared at the top of his lungs: “~Let the voice of love take you higher!

Atsumaru chikara de toki sae koete~”

Either way, I continued the violent swishing (this feels so wrong…).

“N-No…!” Tokino suddenly pushed Haruto away, panting.

He now came to his senses, reinforced by his wife’s frightened look. He now felt as if he committed a violation of the law. Under Pantaiyanilam’s “God Law,” he would be sentenced to life.

She moved closer, “I’m sorry, honey. But that was very creepy. I shouldn’t have suggested roleplay….” She held her left upper arm and looked away with lowered eyes.

He sighed and held her shoulders. “Don’t be like that. I’m very sorry, too.” He gently laid her down, now on top. “So… what do you prefer?”

Seeing her husband’s calm smile, Tokino smiled back and stroked his crown. “Just make love to me the normal way. I could never ask for more, my Haruto. I’ll always love you—forever till the end.”

He had initiated the intercourse moderately. Deep inside, he admitted that the more he thrust his hips, the better the sensation. Tokino felt the same way, and her soft moans remained as so.

The heat rose as they held their bodies closer and tighter. Even though he was on cue to be rougher, he would never trade it for her safety. “Am I hurting you?” he asked softly.

She shook her head. “No, honey… Not at all. Please, faster. It feels good. So good….” Their moans had risen a little.

They gripped tighter with bodies touching. The bedsprings had creaked louder. Eventually, down below, their bodies were ready. “C’mon, Haruto… Kiss me… before the finale!” She grabbed his head quickly.

They grunted at the summit, teeth clenched as they held their breath. Their bodies tensed to their limit. Seconds later, they relaxed and panted, smiling at each other. The Minagawa couple lasted a good three hours.

In the aftermath, Tokino suggested moving down. “I’d like to try it once,” she smiled again. Haruto nodded, and he held his mouth with closed eyes.

Moonlight had shone throughout their session. Between the pillow-talking, they shared giggles. Before long, their lips touched again. They laid on their backs.

“Do I… still got it?” Haruto turned. “I didn’t lose my touch. Right?”

Tokino shook her head and laid on top with closed eyes. “No, you never did. For our age, our sex life is as healthy as ever. I want it to stay that way even when we’re eighty.” She got up on her elbows. “Are you sure Hokori will understand? About your past? What if he doesn’t?

“If he laughs it off—I don’t know what I’ll do, honey. Coelestis would execute me under the Original Guillotine, all because my rage took over.” Tears welled up and had hit Haruto’s face. Next came the sobs.

“I don’t want… to leave any of you. My Yukino. And you, my Haruto….” Teeth clenched, she let out sorrow on his chest.

He smiled faintly and rubbed her back. “Don’t worry, Tokino…” he stared at the ceiling. “Hokori will understand. He’s nothing like Rubio. But he’s family.”

She dried her eyes and got up from bed. After the last move for the night, she exited the bedroom.

“I’ll do anything for you, my Haruto. Even if I have to force it down Hokori’s throat.” Her eyes remained stern as she went downstairs.

Tokino was briefly thrown into a loop when she heard Kenkō’s voice. Mellow would be an understatement. She briefly covered her mouth but continued walking.

The next song came, and she heard:

Kimi to natsu no owari shōrai no yume ōkina kibō wasurenai

Jūnengo no hachi gatsu mata deaeru no o shinjite

Saikō no omoide o...
