Chapter 208: 208: Moving in Advance
In Chisato's small rental apartment, there wasn't much to pack for his move to the new place.
The bulk of the items consisted only of clothes, books, sheets, and quilt covers.
Since Eriri mentioned that new ones had been prepared at the new apartment, he decided against bringing those.
Finally, after packing up, the two cardboard boxes held all of his belongings.
One box contained clothes, while the other held books and miscellaneous items.
Eriri wanted to help, but Chisato shook his head indifferently, casually stacking the two boxes on top of each other.
He bent down and moved them effortlessly.
With a strong physique, powerful arms, and the outline of his waistcoat exposed as he bent over, Eriri pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes glinting.
She subconsciously reached out to touch Chisato's shoulder, but when he turned around in confusion, she hurriedly looked away.
A girl's psychology changes from youth to maturity, and during this transition, there is a stage that is very obvious and easy to distinguish.
As a little girl, appearance is more important than anything else, and they are not very interested in physical aspects.
After experiencing the stage of becoming a young woman and learning about certain joys, their attraction to the body increases exponentially.
Like a monk who has abstained from food and meat for more than ten years, once he breaks that abstinence, it becomes difficult to return to the past.
Eriri was obviously in the latter situation now.
After those two incredibly vivid dream experiences, she still maintained a perfect body physically, but on a mental level, she was already a total mess.
He handed over the keys to the old apartment to the administrator, officially announcing his intention to quit the lease, and took a taxi to the new apartment.
Eriri lowered her head and gently leaned against Chisato, holding hands with him and keeping her thighs together.
She felt her body temperature rise from the violent beating of her heart and touched the crow nestled on her thigh with her other hand.
Her beautiful eyes were already extremely moist, and she hoped more and more that the sky outside the window would darken soon.
At the same time, Chisato was contemplating something else.
He was debating whether to tell Eriri about Hitori or Kazusa tonight.
After some thought, he felt that Utaha's absence tonight was a good opportunity. Facing both of them at the same time, he wasn't confident he could convince them.
If he chose to confront them one by one, the likelihood of them accepting it would be very small. However, there was still some hope, and they wouldn't be completely hopeless.
Yet Eriri seemed to be in such a good mood today, looking forward to the celebratory dinner after moving. He really couldn't bear to ruin her good mood in just one day.
When the taxi arrived at its destination, Chisato made a decision. He would not delay it any longer.
Eriri was very well-behaved and hid her feelings well around him. Considering her timid character, he decided to maintain the status quo for now.
However, regarding Kazusa, he felt it was necessary to let Eriri know sooner rather than later.
He planned to set a time for dinner later so as not to spoil Eriri's happy mood too early, while simultaneously achieving his goal.
After Chisato got out of the car, he picked up the two cardboard boxes from the trunk.
Eriri led the way, holding the Dark Wings, and they soon arrived at a building located on a busy street, very close to the tram stop.
The entrance resembled that of a high-end apartment.
Eriri swiped the access card and took the lead into the elevator.
At that moment, she felt a bit anxious, unsure whether the new home she and Kasumigaoka had painstakingly arranged would meet Chisato's expectations.
The moment she inserted the key and opened the door, Chisato's reaction made her sigh in relief.
"…This must have cost a lot of money."
Chisato set down the cardboard box in his hand, unable to hide the wonder in his eyes.
Eriri placed the crow she was holding on the coffee table and followed him, smiling cheerfully, revealing her small fangs and dimples.
"It doesn't matter. As long as you can live happily, money is not important."
"…"
Chisato wandered around the house casually.
He had already anticipated that these two young wealthy women, who were infatuated with him, would not have found him a subpar place.
However, the extent of the luxury still surprised him.
Just looking at the living room, the warm yellow wooden floor and the oversized balcony that opened up the view made it clear that this apartment was expensive.
The facilities in the house were also plentiful.
An oversized LCD TV was mounted on the wall, with the latest gaming consoles from various manufacturers neatly arranged on the low coffee table below.
In the corner sat an automatic vacuum cleaner, and the semi-open kitchen was equipped with a dishwasher and an oven.
He opened the refrigerator smoothly, and it was undoubtedly filled with ingredients.
Compared to the variety in his refrigerator, it was even more impressive.
In contrast to the small apartment he lived in before, it was like he had risen from the ground to the top of a mountain in an instant; the difference was staggering.
At that moment, Chisato gradually realized how satisfying it was to be cared for by a rich woman.
But he also quickly acknowledged that he was somewhat of a jerk. He enjoyed everything they offered while still seeking attention from other girls.
After reflecting for three seconds on everything the two had provided, Chisato turned around, hugged Eriri, and softly apologized.
"What are you apologizing for?"
Eriri felt a bit lost. She gently broke away from his arms and shyly held his hands.
"This is what that guy and I want to do. Besides, it's only to this extent; it's not worth mentioning for either of us."
"What's more… we're both yours, so don't say things like that again. That's it…"
Her shy tone and behavior belied the boldness of her words.
The crow observed as Eriri stood on tiptoe, bringing their lips closer together, then gently flapped his wings and flew from the living room to the balcony.
He was quite satisfied with this new home. Such a large open-air balcony meant he would have a place to formally entertain his crow friends in the future.
After their lips parted, Eriri gasped, resting her head on Chisato's chest and gently hugging his waist, slowly tightening her grip.
For some things, once an idea pops into your mind, you only feel more anxious until you find satisfaction.
Chisato savored the intensity of their kiss. He gently patted Eriri's little butt and kissed her head again.
"Nnghh~"
Eriri made a cute sound, a mix of a moan and a sigh.
Chisato took a deep breath.
Did he want to?
Of course, he did.
No man could remain indifferent after a beautiful mixed-race beauty like Eriri took the initiative to show, "You can take the lead."
Although he had experienced similar scenes many times in dream simulations, what happened in reality was still far more thrilling, both consciously and psychologically.
But what Chisato was thinking at that moment was whether it was too early, especially since he had just considered confessing to Kazusa during the taxi ride.
While he pondered this, Eriri spoke up.
"…The weather is very stuffy tonight. It seems like it's going to rain."
"Yeah," he replied.
"I don't seem to have brought an umbrella today. What should I do?"
As Eriri said this, she stretched the fingertips of her right hand and gently traced irregular circles on Chisato's back.
"…I saw an umbrella in the cabinet by the entrance. I can take you home."
Chisato noticed that the fingers gently stroking his back suddenly stopped and gave him a sharp poke.
Since Eriri had buried her face in his chest the whole time, he couldn't accurately gauge her current expression.
However, the situation was clearly not ideal.
After a moment of silence, he rephrased his suggestion.
"Then why don't you stay the night? There are several bedrooms here."
"…Well, we can also chat tonight. That stinky woman was here before, and I don't know many things about you yet."
"Then we can talk for a while tonight."
"Good."
The two of them embraced each other, tacitly understanding one another. After their conversation, it was naturally decided that Eriri would stay for the night.
It wasn't too late; it was only around six o'clock in the evening.
Now that everything had been settled, there was no need to think about it anymore.
The refrigerator was stocked with ingredients the two of them had prepared in advance, so they didn't need to go out to eat or order takeout.
After a brief look around the kitchen, Chisato pushed Eriri out of the kitchen, insisting that the fumes were harmful to a girl's skin and that he would prepare dinner himself.
Eriri was extremely happy with his considerate behavior.
She didn't resist Chisato's arrangement; in fact, she wanted to taste his cooking, and she also had an important matter to deal with now.
