My deskmate is actually my yandere reader.

Information about her and traces of her whereabouts have all been encrypted.

Even if top programmers were to decipher it, it would take them three days.

All of this time combined was enough for her plan to unfold and for her to gain control over Hirasawa Shinbu.

"Actually, I'm quite grateful to Kuchiki." Kurose Izumi scratched her head. "Think about it, if she hadn't imprisoned me, I might not have known that Chirei was White Kikyo, and our relationship wouldn't have improved so quickly, right?"

"spring."

Shiraishi Chiren called out softly and sat down beside him, her eyes showing a hint of worry: "Tomorrow is the weekend, right? Why don't we go to the hospital to see if it really is Stockholm syndrome?"

"I didn't!" Kurose Izumi retorted loudly, her face flushed red.

He simply felt that without Kuchiki Touko, it would have been very difficult for him to have any interaction with someone like Shiraishi Chirei.

The evidence is that he had known "White Bellflower" for a year, but did not know each other's names, ages, or addresses.

Even the 'le' sign wasn't added.

Perhaps after we finish writing "The Abyss of Youth," our relationship will gradually improve, and we will recognize each other, but that's just a possibility.

The world is full of unknowns; no one knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first.

For example, her relationship with Shiraishi Chire was something Kurose Izumi never expected.

I thought it would take some time, at least not today or tomorrow.

But that's alright.

Having a girlfriend and being a fulfilled person in a relationship feels so great!

Whenever she thinks about her relationship with Shiraishi Chire, Kurose Izumi can't help but smile happily.

91. Our first kiss

"So that's a masochist?"

Shiraishi Chiren looked hesitant, but then, as if she had made a decision, she said firmly, "If that's the case... I'll consider it."

"No! I'm not a masochist!"

Ignoring Kurose Izumi, Shiraishi Chiren continued, "First of all, you have to call me Master, right? Aster is fine too..."

"Then, like this morning, it reached out its hand to me like a puppy, asking to shake my hand, and then..."

“s!”

Kurose Izumi quickly stopped Shiraishi Chire, not daring to listen to her continue.

What does "master," "handshake," and "head pat" even mean? This doesn't sound like a proper romantic relationship, does it?!

Do you know what? I really want to give it a try!

Kurose Izumi silently complained to himself, but on the surface he pretended to be a gentleman and said, "Chiren, I'm perfectly normal. I'm neither a masochist nor do I have Stockholm syndrome."

"Really? Then why are you thanking Kuchiki?"

"Jealous? I just feel that if it weren't for her, we might not be together now..."

"Aren't we together now? Why should we thank Kuchiki? Shouldn't this be the natural order of things?"

As Shiraishi Chiren interrupted, she suddenly brought her face so close that their noses were almost touching.

She gazed at Kurose Izumi's slightly flustered face and exhaled softly, "Izumi, I'm actually a very petty person. Will you hate me?"

goo-dong-

Kurose Izumi swallowed hard, her mind suddenly going blank.

There was nothing she could do; it was just that Shiraishi Chiren suddenly got so close, almost to the point of kissing.

Shiraishi Chiren's long, slender eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings, and her warm breath brushed against his face.

"that……"

Kurose Izumi was so nervous that she wondered if they were going to kiss since they were so close.

Therefore, he couldn't even speak properly and could only stammer.

"What?" Shiraishi Chiren asked.

"Too, too close."

Kurose Izumi responded in a trembling voice, trying to lean back and create some distance, but the back of her head was already pressed against the sofa, leaving her with no way to avoid it.

"Huh? Aren't we lovers?" Shiraishi Chiren tilted her head slightly, a look of confusion on her face. "Isn't this kind of distance common in gal ga?"

"cocoa--"

Just as Kurose Izumi was about to say something, Shiraishi Chiren forcefully interrupted her again: "So, you hate me for being stingy and getting sulky when you mention other girls?"

Now, Izumi Kurose had nowhere to retreat and could only honestly answer, "Of course... it's my favorite, how could I possibly hate it?"

"Hehe, I feel so happy..."

Upon hearing this, Shiraishi Chiren smiled with satisfaction, but still maintained a very close distance from Kurose Izumi.

"So, can you move your face away? We're about to kiss!"

Kurose Izumi looked miserable, thinking that if he kissed her like this in a daze, wouldn't it leave her with a bad memory of her first kiss?

This is, after all, a first kiss, so it should be romantic and serious, right?

Want a kiss?

Shiraishi Chiren remained unmoved, merely opening and closing her extremely alluring cherry lips, as if tempting Kurose Izumi.

"No...I don't want to...I don't want to..."

Kurose Izumi stammered, wanting to say, "I don't want to kiss like this; I want to kiss in a romantic, meaningful place."

But because she was too nervous and concerned about her increasingly soft cherry lips, she was unable to say it smoothly.

Seeing this, Shiraishi Chiren smiled gently, reached out and cupped his face, blushing, and whispered, "Want to kiss me?"

"...!!!"

Kurose Izumi's brain short-circuited immediately, her eyes widened slightly, and her heart was filled with disbelief.

Holding hands and kissing so soon after starting to date, isn't that a bit too fast?

If that's really the case, wouldn't we soon be climbing the ladder to adulthood?

They live together, spend every night together, and even have two consecutive days off on weekends!

Based on the above conclusions, Izumi Kurose may be squeezed dry in the near future.

After waiting for a long time without receiving a response from Kurose Izumi, Shiraishi Chiren decided to resort to force.

She whispered, "Close your eyes."

"This, this..."

"Close your eyes."

Shiraishi Chiren spoke again, her words carrying an air of undeniable authority.

Kurose Izumi pursed her thin lips, hardened her heart, and slowly closed her eyes.

Damn it, shouldn't it be the woman who's shy about this kind of thing?

What's wrong with him, a man, being so indecisive?

Moreover, kissing Shiraishi Chiren would definitely be a huge win!

"So good..."

After murmuring something, Shiraishi Chiren slowly closed her eyes and straddled Kurose Izumi's lap.

At the same time, she offered her soft, cherry-like lips, which Kurose Izumi particularly valued, and they gently touched his thin lips.

'They really kissed...'

An idea spontaneously arose in both of their minds.

At this moment, all they could hear was the noisy pounding of their hearts, so loud and disruptive that they couldn't quiet down.

A sweet, delicate fragrance welled up from their touching lips and lingered in their hearts.

The kiss was fleeting, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

But even this brief kiss caused Izumi Kurose to breathe rapidly, as if she had been pulled from the water while drowning.

"It feels... embarrassing." Shiraishi Chiren lowered her head, a clear blush appearing on her fair face.

“…If you’re embarrassed, don’t do such a thing!” Kurose Izumi replied, panting heavily.

"Do you hate it? Or do you like it?"

"...Of course I like it."

"Hmph, Izumi, you're saying don't do things like that, but you secretly enjoy it. You're really cute."

"Qianlian, you—uh?!"

So, Izumi Kurose was forcibly kissed, and her words were silenced by soft cherry lips, leaving her to swallow them back.

After they parted, Shiraishi Chiren touched her cherry lips with her hand and smiled charmingly, "Izumi, thank you for the treat."

"..."

Unable to respond, Izumi Kurose could only purse her thin lips and remain silent.

At the same time, he was also thinking bitterly in his heart, "Would I be henpecked in the future?"

How come Shiraishi Chire unexpectedly has a bold and aggressive side?

If this continues, he'll be tamed!

Satisfied, Shiraishi Chiren got off Kurose Izumi and said with a smile, "Izumi, I'm going to make dinner."

Before leaving, she turned back and glanced at Kurose Izumi—or rather, at her lower body—with a mischievous, meaningful smile.

"Quan, you're a man too, you can understand."
