Since Aira has the room key, she doesn't ring the intercom when she goes home.

Like always, she holds the room key up to the sensor to unlock the door and enters the apartment.

As she takes off her loafers at the entrance, she hears the sound of heavy footsteps scrambling in the living room.

Curious, she quickly heads there and notices the projector slowly turning towards the ceiling.

She looks around the room and finds Ema with the projector's remote control in her hand and hiding her face.

"...Were you watching naughty videos again?"
"N-no I wasn't."
"Really?"
"Maybe just a little...?"

Since Ema taught her how to use the projector after the last incident, Aira gets the projector to face the screen again.

When she presses the power button, as she suspected, an adult video appears on the screen.

The scene is of an actress wearing a high school uniform at the mercy of another beautiful actress.

Aira immediately turns the projector back off and looks at Ema.

"...Why do you love naughty videos so much?"
"No, you see..."
"...Is it because you can't do those things with your sex friends anymore...?"

Ever since Aira arrived, Ema hasn't called any of her sex friends over.

There's no sign that she's meeting them outside her apartment either and it may not be any of Aira's business, but she wonders if Ema's desires are being left unsatisfied.

"This time is different... It reminded me of you."
"Huh...?"
"The description said beautiful tsundere so I was like, 'Wow, sounds like Aira. I should check it out~'... But, the actress ended up being nowhere near as cute as Aira."

Heat begins to gather in Aira's cheeks from that unexpected response.

"Yo-you watched it because it because the actress looked like me...?"
"Hm..? Ah! I didn't mean it like that..."

It's rare for Ema to stammer over her words like this.
She usually smoothly connects one word after another when teasing Aira.

Perhaps she's so desperate to try and hide what she was doing that she ended up saying something unnecessary.　

"So you want to do those things with me...?"
"No! That's not what I meant..."
"But the actress was wearing a sailor uniform..."
"That's just a coincidence!"

Seeing Ema like this makes Aira feel slightly exhilarated.

Normally, Ema would grin and tease Aira about how the actress resembles her.

Instead of Ema enjoying the sight of Aira squirming, for once, Ema is the one getting flustered.

Has Ema begun to see Aira as a woman?
Even if it's just a little bit, has Ema started seeing her as a potential partner instead of just a kid?

Noticing that this might be her chance to make a move, Aira swallows some saliva due to her nerves.

"You...you're a pervert."
"...I'm sorry."
"Do you... want to touch?"

While saying that, Aira grabs the hem of her uniform and nervously lifts it up.

She had intended to lift it up to her chest to reveal her bra, but her shame reached its limit once she exposed her stomach.

She didn't realize how embarrassing it is displaying her untanned skin.

"...Since it's my fault that you can't call any of your sex friends over..."

Although she might be saying that, the truth is that Aira just wants to be touched by Ema.

Ema extends her arm towards Aira and Aira shuts her eyes.

Anticipating Ema's touch, Aira gets caught off guard by a sharp pain on her forehead.

"Ouch... why did you flick my forehead...?"
"I can't do this after all."
"But you touch me all the time..."
"...That was before, but it's impossible now."
"Why?"
"...Because you're cute, Aira."

When Aira keeps asking questions like a child refusing to give up, Ema lets out a long sigh.

However, the sigh isn't due to exasperation.

"...You're important to me, so I can't touch you so lightly."

She gently pats Aira's head and buries Aira's face in her shoulder.

"You're a good girl, so try to understand."

This feels like Ema is treating her like a dog.
Ema looks like a troubled owner trying to pacify an undisciplined dog.

If Aira had ears and a tail...
Her tail would be wagging and her ears would be relaxed to make it easier to pet her.

Whether she's being treated like a kid or like a dog...
Her heart is delighted to hear that she's important to Ema.

"Smoke?"
"Eh..."
"Do you want to smoke...?"

Aira slightly tilts her eyes upwards, trying to make herself look as cute as possible.

Even though she used to disdain the idea of acting cute for others, in front of the person she loves, she does so somewhat unconsciously.

"...Right now, I don't really..."

After glancing at Aira's face, Ema's voice lowers to a whisper.

"Maybe... I do."

Ema's face gets closer and Aira closes her eyes.
Aira feels the soft sensation for only a moment before Ema's lips retreat.

"...Is just a touch enough for you?"
"I'm turned on right now."
"..."
"If I can't stop myself, you'll be in trouble, Aira."

The one trying to avoid these situations has become Ema.

Aira wants to be touched.
She wants Ema to ravish her body.
She wants Ema to pleasure her.

She wants their bodies to be entangled in an obscene manner and feel pleasures she has never felt before.

Her desires keep swelling.

She's only thinking indecent thoughts now, wishing for a future where she can be with Ema in both mind and body.
