Author's note:

ED: If Naoto's level of horniness bothered you last chapter, my editor came up with most of that. I wouldn't pretend to know what a teenage boy feels, and he doesn't know precisely what a young lady goes through. The stuff about the ice water in Naoto's body especially freaked me out a little bit, so I toned it down quite a bit.

Please look at the Q&A section I set up at the end of the chapter. Ask us anything, and we'll add another section in the next chapter. I would be happy if you ask questions.

Please enjoy what I wrote.

As Naoto Hachioji made his way downtown, the delightful, honied smell of the basswoods inundating much of the city had mostly faded, and it was largely replaced by the smell of car exhaust from the streets and grilling meat and baking bread from the restaurants.

The air was less open, it was more crowded, people everywhere, and was it ever noisy!

But nothing could spoil his good mood!

Just walking around, doing the occasional fist-pump or spinning on his heels as he went along, he'd worked out most of the "horny male energy" he'd had pent-up a short time earlier. Sitting with Sakura Inori and Hana Sunomiya, after a delightful lunch and a productive morning of study, his carnal energy had skyrocketed, imagining where he'd soon be.

If he was an electron, he might've jumped a few orbitals!

He hadn't meant to work himself into such a frothing frenzy. But waiting to part ways with the two girls and allowing his mind to go a bit berserk over what his unfolding afternoon had in store, he'd fallen into it.

Still, his two friends, understanding why he was in such a state (though unaware of just how lathered up he was getting), were glad to wish him well as he left.

He had something of a date with Hayase Nagatoro, his crush, a "shopping date" specifically, and the world was his oyster.

With the end of the semester fast approaching and their conflicting activities and schedules, he'd been unable to spend as much time with her recently. They'd hung out a few times of late, but not nearly enough.

But that would change with summer break only two weeks away! Hell, it was changing now!

He didn't know just what his farm-tanned friend had in store for him—he couldn't always tell if she meant what she said, in that she claimed she was buying a new bikini—but it didn't beleaguer him.

Naoto was just ecstatic to have the afternoon with her! Whatever they wound up doing, they'd manage to have fun.

Presently, he wondered what she'd be wearing! No matter how she dressed, she was cute and charming in a fashion very precious to him.

And since it was summertime, that opened up a few more options than cold weather permitted, sending him further and further into happy-land as he envisioned what she might bless his eyes with that day.

Whatever it was, he hoped she'd show him a little leg~.

Wow...! Ha-ha! The possibility of it had him over the Moon.

Clenching his fists, he took a deep breath, a smile most foolish pasted on his mug. He wanted to shout and whoop and hoot and holler!

Wild horses couldn't drag this good feeling out of him!
