Kissing My Student, It's Over if We're Caught-Chapter 1Volume 3 .4 - Touka Kiriharas Recent Surprise: Living with an Adult Woman
***
I, Touka Kirihara, am what you’d call a hopeless romantic. My emotional state heavily depends on whether I have someone I love. Without someone to love, my heart withers. But when I do have someone, my days feel brighter.
However, when I can’t express my love or lean on that person, my feelings grow heavier and heavier.
“Yeah… thank you. I love you. …Alright, see you tomorrow at school.”
After ending the call with Gin, I let out a small sigh.
It was a sigh filled with relief and happiness, knowing I had just spoken to him after so long.
But along with that happiness came a wave of guilt.
“…I couldn’t hold back.”
I sighed again, this time heavier, burdened with self-reproach.
At this rate, can I really last a whole year like this?
Gin had laughed and said, “It’s just a phone call, it’s fine,” but I felt otherwise. For me, it wasn’t fine. I felt like I had crossed a line.
If only there were a better way to release these feelings.
“…I’m thirsty. Let’s get something to drink.”
Dragging my heavy emotions and body, I managed to make my way to the living room.
As soon as Yuzuka-san saw me, she reacted with, “Oh, you’re out.”
“Have you calmed down?”
“…You noticed?”
“I had something to do near your room. I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop, but I heard it. Did you take care of your post-bath routine?”
“…Mostly.”
“Good. But you cried, didn’t you? Let me redo your facial moisturizer. Come here.”
Even after helping with my skincare, Yuzuka-san continued to fuss over me.

“I made an ice pack with a plastic bag. Keep it on your eyes for a while. You’ve got student council tomorrow, right? Puffy eyes would ruin the image of the elegant student council president. Plus, it’d make others worry unnecessarily.”
She was a former corporate receptionist, and her attention to facial care and presentation was leagues ahead of mine.
But why does she…?
“Are you wondering why I’m being so nice to you?”
“…Well, yes.”
“Of course. We’re love rivals, after all. But for me, it’s obvious. If it were one-sided, with you just liking Gin, I might’ve tried to steal him. But Gin *also* loves you. I’d never do anything to make him sad.”
That made sense. It was something I could trust.
It’s exactly why I chose her as Gin’s “insurance.”
“Alright, all done. If you’re feeling lonely because you can’t see Gin, I could leave on weekends and go somewhere. Maybe that’d make him come over?”
“No need. The fact that I have to endure this doesn’t change.”
“Alright. But if it gets too much, let me know. Oh, and one more thing—”
Just as Yuzuka-san started to say something, the doorbell rang.
“Oh, that must be my package. Hold on.”
She went to the door, accepted the delivery, and returned with a small parcel.
“Did you order something?”
“Yup. Some good stuff. I was planning to keep it all for myself, but I might share with you. Let’s see what you’d like.”
She quickly opened the box, removing the packaging with deft hands.
Inside were several smaller boxes… and a few larger ones.
“Let’s start with the classic. Here.”
She handed me one of the items, and I stared at it intently.
It looked like a product package.
On it was a pink, egg-shaped device with a cute design.
No matter how I looked at it, it was… an adult toy.
And sure enough, the packaging confirmed it.
“This one’s supposed to be great. It has multiple vibration patterns, a random function to keep things interesting, and if you download the app, someone else can control it remotely.”
“What am I supposed to do with this!?”
“It’s not like you can’t use it. Haven’t you ever tried one? Or at least been curious? Surely you’ve seen them in some adult videos?”
I couldn’t come up with a response.
“If you wanted to buy one, it’d be a hassle at your age, right? Consider it a thank-you gift for letting me stay here. If you’re not seeing Gin for a while, you’re bound to get pent up. Use it to let off some steam.”
“…Are you saying that whole box is full of these?”
“Yup. Having a variety makes it fun. This industry is super competitive, you know.”
Seeing this side of Yuzuka-san left me with mixed feelings.
Half of me was exasperated, while the other half was shocked at being exposed to a world I knew nothing about.
Living with her was certainly never boring, but if I stopped reacting to things like this, it might be a problem for a high schooler like me.
“If you want, I could give you a tutorial. I don’t mind doing it with another girl.”
“No, thank you!”
“Just kidding~. I don’t mess with people who already have someone.”
She laughed heartily and went to her room to put away her “supplies.”
Her words and actions were so inappropriate and chaotic, yet her charm made it impossible to dislike her.
She’s truly unfair.
Now that I think about it, she reminds me of Kana-chan. But with way more energy.
“…Super Kana-chan?”
Muttering that to myself gave me a headache.
