Shido was out with Kotori, buying ingredients for dinner. However, while he was shopping in the grocery store, he briefly saw a girl in a black dress and long black hair pass by the store's entrance outside.
Is that…? Shido abruptly dropped his shopping bag.
"Onii-chan?" Kotori looked at him with a confused look, wondering what was going on with her brother. However, before she knew it, Shido went into a full sprint towards the exit of the store without any explanation, gathering many other customers' attention.
"Eh?! Where are you going?!" Kotori yelled after Shido but Shido kept running, ignoring her call. What did he exactly see? His face had a rare sense of urgency as if he would regret it for the rest of his life if he missed this opportunity. She hesitated for a moment before picking up the dropped bags and began to chase after her brother.
Meanwhile, Shido was desperately looking around the streets towards the direction he saw the girl go. However, no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find her. Shido began to panic as he frantically examined the area around him.
Where? Where? Where is she? She couldn't have gone far! Where's Ku…!
"Onii-chan! What got into you?!" Kotori's shout immediately brought Shido back to his senses.
With heavy breaths, Kotori finally caught up to him. She temporarily put the bags onto the ground and put her hands on her knees in order to catch her breath. She gave a slightly accusing look towards him for leaving her alone without a warning.
Looking around one last time, Shido turned his head before giving a despondent sigh. Truthfully, Shido was actually trying to find Kurumi. However, it seemed that Kurumi wasn't here. Was it just his imagination?
"Sorry, Kotori. I thought I saw Kaguya and Yuzuru racing in the middle of the street but maybe I saw wrong, haha." Shido quickly came up with a believable excuse, hoping that Kotori would bite.
"Tch, those girls again? If those two are running at full speed, once they pass you, you'll have missed them already. Forget about them." Kotori waved her hand dismissively. Thankfully, it seemed that Kotori took the bait.
Ever since Kurumi repaid Shido, it was as if she had disappeared. Shido knew that Kurumi had her own agenda but that didn't stop him from wanting to meet her. He didn't know what he would do if he had actually met her but still he wanted to see her again. Not one single day had passed where Kurumi wasn't on his mind.
Kotori was looking at Shido out of the corner of her eye, seeing how disappointed Shido was. Was he really that sad about missing the Yamai sisters?
Recently, Kotori was worried about his brother. Every so often, he would have that same look of longing when he thought nobody was looking. Kotori wondered if it had to do something with Shido's recent change.
For example, Shido was able to hold Tohka's hand casually during a date. It may be considered a small thing for other people but for Shido who had barely any experience with girls, it came as a surprise to Kotori. It was a small surprise but a surprise nonetheless. At first, Kotori figured that Shido had matured to the point where holding hands was nothing. It was a natural process. Kotori could've accepted it if it was only up to here.
However, her shock had only continued to increase. During their school trip to Arubi Island, the Yamai sisters had forced Shido to do things such as making him apply sunscreen on their backs or sharing the same ice cream with him. Kotori was prepared to give him a pep talk, ready to force Shido if he tried to refuse.
"Kaguya, is this enough sunscreen? Ah, Yuzuru, thanks for the ice cream."
Yet imagine her surprise when Shido did everything the Yamai sisters asked of him with an unforced smile on his face.
It was the same case with Origami. At the beach, she had tried to seduce him by wearing a lewd underwear instead of a regular swimsuit yet…
"Origami, that's no good. If people see you, they're going to be uncomfortable." Shido, who would usually be flustered, had remained calm instead and had calmly reprimanded Origami for her inappropriate wear.
Upon seeing Shido's reaction, Origami immediately stopped her usual perverse behavior and stared at Shido's face with a blank expression.
"Origami? Is there something wrong?" Shido asked, wondering why Origami suddenly went silent.
"…it's nothing."
Origami quietly muttered before walking away. Shido had only been confused at the time and could only wonder what Origami was thinking. However, Kotori could see that Origami's eyebrows were furrowed, also surprised at Shido's lackluster reaction.
It made Kotori wonder if this was actually her brother.
Before, Shido would be nervous when talking to girls and quickly panic whenever he got into a sticky situation with them. However, Shido now was able to handle everything without a faze. Although Shido's change was beneficial for Ratatoskr's goal of making a Spirit fall in love with him, Kotori couldn't help but feel that something was off. Such a drastic change was impossible to happen naturally; Shido must've experienced something that he wasn't telling her.
Kotori's suspicions were well-placed. Ever since Shido had been given a handjob by Kurumi, Shido couldn't find himself attracted to other girls even if he tried. During the trip, whenever Kaguya, Yuzuru, or Origami tried to seduce him, an image of Kurumi would immediately manifest in his head, making him impervious to their advances and charms. Of course, that didn't affect his desire to save Spirits. He genuinely cared for them.
Well, I can't really tell Kotori the truth though.
If Shido told Kotori that Kurumi jerked him off, he could only imagine the rampage that would occur.
"Do you wish to negotiate with me?" When Kurumi came to offer him help after he ran away from the crowd that was brainwashed from Miku's Gabriel, he didn't know what to say. While he should be scared of her eating him, he was happy to see her. It didn't help that Kurumi looked beautiful as always.
"Don't worry, I do truly intend to help Shido-san. It goes along with my own plans as well." While observing Shido's reaction, she added, "However, you'll owe me a favor after all this is done. After all, I will be expending a huge amount of my stored time."
"…what are your intentions?" Shido didn't immediately rejoice, considering how fickle Kurumi was. Tohka's life was on the line; he couldn't blindly go into a deal without knowing the consequences. On a side note, Kurumi's silhouette in the moonlight looked gorgeous.
"Ara, ara, I guess Shido-san doesn't want my help then?" Kurumi, putting a finger on the side of her chin, lightly smiled while Shido was gauging the situation. "I thought we had a certain… bond of sorts between us. After all, I thought that you would be rather excited with me being here."
"I-I'm not excited at all!" Shido's voice didn't sound as confident as he wanted.
"Ufufu, let's leave it at that, shall we?" Kurumi laughed, not pressing any further but Shido felt as if he completely lost that verbal exchange.
Kurumi gave her usual teasing smile, "So, is it a deal? I'm not lying about wanting to help you. Of course, I won't force you to believe what I say."
"…Please lend me your help." Shido could only accept. At this point, Kurumi was the only person he could rely on to save Tohka from the DEM while escaping from Miku's crowd.
"Great, then let's begin our date!" Kurumi smiled as if she knew this would happen. Grabbing Shido's hand, she pulled him forward and whispered into his ear, "I'm glad we're finally alone. I rea~lly missed Shido-san, you know. Did you?"
Shido blushed. Of course, he missed her. He missed her to the point it'd hurt. If it wasn't for their current situation, he would've sat down with her and told her all about what happened to him in the past month. However, he reminded himself that he needed to save Tohka. Again, still didn't help that Kurumi looked beautiful as always.
Shido definitely appreciated Kurumi's help throughout the rescue plan and it could be said that if she hadn't helped, he would've failed in saving Tohka. Be that as it may, she was very flirtatious throughout their journey.
Whenever she licked his earlobe or traced her fingers across his cheeks, Shido's insides would jump and his heartbeat would race wildly. Especially in Miku's house; when she fell on top of him and licked his face, he became very aroused. He hoped Kurumi wouldn't notice it but Kurumi felt the bulge of his erection and smirked at him, much to his embarrassment.
"Ara ara, I understand Shido-san wants to have fun but there's a time and place for everything. Although if Shido-san insists, then I can…"
"No, no, no! You don't need to do anything!"
"Mm, I'm just trying to help Shido-san though."
"You can do that by assisting me with saving Tohka!"
Having said that, it took all his willpower to not moan and submit to her.
It was now the night after Shido had sealed Miku. Although there were some concerns about Isaac Westcott's intention and the inversion of Tohka, Shido was, for now, happy that they all got through this event alive. With everything being resolved, Shido was now able to relax and get a good night's sleep.
He wished that was the case. It was embarrassing but Shido's erection was keeping him awake.
"Kurumi…this is all your fault…" No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get Kurumi off his mind. Just when he thought he had recently toned down on the masturbation, Kurumi just had to tease him.
He could still feel her touch upon his skin. Her smooth fingers sliding across his face and the soft feeling of her moist tongue. His encounter with Kurumi had only reminded his body of what she could do.
He knew that if he didn't deal with this erection now, it would only continue to bother him. It was nighttime so nobody would interrupt him. Shido looked around just for good measure before silently reaching his hand down and pulling his underwear off. His erection was already hard.
He knew what he was about to do was degrading but when he thought of Kurumi, all he could think about was her. By this time, his hand was already on his erection, and with a squeeze, a sense of relief spread through his body.
"Kurumi…" Shido closed his eyes as his mind began to wander to when Kurumi had pinned him down in Miku's house. He still remembered how Kurumi's eyes stared playfully into his. He remembered her offer of "helping" him. What would she have done if he hadn't resisted? Why did he even resist? It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the pleasure that Kurumi could offer.
"Kurumi, Kurumi…" Shido softly moaned, his hand starting to get faster.
But then, he felt a hand grab his arm.
Shido immediately opened his eyes in shock and fear and when he saw who stopped him, it only increased.
"Ara ara, what an interesting sight we have here."
The person, no, Spirit standing before him was the one he was just masturbating to, Tokisaki Kurumi. His body was immediately filled with shame as her smile continued to increase for every second that passed. She saw everything, didn't she? Oh God, just kill him now! Why did Kurumi have to come at this specific moment?!
"Ku-Ku-Kurumi! It's no-not what you think!" Shido avoided Kurumi's eyes after he said that. Even he knew it was a poor attempt of an excuse.
Meanwhile, Kurumi watched him squirm in embarrassment. She savored the entertaining view in front of her, not immediately giving him an answer. Only after a little while…
"I came to redeem my favor but… kihihihihi, it seems Shido-san is busy at the moment?" Kurumi nodded her head towards his exposed dick.
Shido immediately tried to hide it under the blanket but realized that his arm was still being grasped by Kurumi's hand. Her grip was strong, contrasted to the slim figure she had. Although Kurumi wasn't comparable to Tohka, she was still a Spirit and thus, stronger than Shido.
"Well, this actually works out well in my favor."
"?"
"Let's go somewhere more private, shall we?" Before he knew it, he found Kurumi dragging him into a portal of darkness. A few seconds later, both of them had disappeared from Shido's room.
At an unknown place, a portal opened and from it, Shido dropped onto a soft mattress. Kurumi had brought him to a room that was strikingly similar to the warehouse she had him stay in before, in the case where the room was almost bare, except with a few furniture and utilities here and there. Shido wondered if Kurumi had multiple bases like this around the city.
Shido found himself pushed down as Kurumi put herself on top of him. It reminded him of their situation in Miku's house. They were in the exact same position and the arousal that Shido was experiencing was exactly the same, if not more as he was only in his underwear, more susceptible to her touch.
"Ne, Shido-san. It seemed you picked up quite a night habit." Kurumi playfully tilted her head with a teasing smile.
"Eehh, ni-night habit? I have no idea what you're talking about." Shido decided to play dumb till the very end. He really hoped that Kurumi would just drop the topic and let him hold onto the little dignity left in him.
Unfortunately, Kurumi wasn't so kind to let go of such a juicy opportunity to mess around with him. Seeing that Shido was playing hard to get, she grabbed his chin and softly smiled.
"Ara ara, really? Because last time I checked, I must say that Shido-san likes to masturbate to me every night."
"Hey! That's going too far! It wasn't every nigh-!" Shido quickly closed his mouth, realizing that he sold himself out. His face turned bright red as Kurumi gave a satisfied smile, hearing what she wanted.
"You pervert," she breathed into his ear, sending a shiver through his body. "I thought that Shido-san was someone who was upstanding enough to not indulge in such dirtiness. Is it that fun? Holding your dick and moaning like a pig? Ah, or maybe it's my fault? Should I have not repaid Shido-san with such pleasure back then? But, Shido-san liked it, didn't he? Even if I give you the chance to redo it, Shido-san would give in to me again and again, wouldn't you?"
Shido felt her words were on the verge of mental rape. The only thing he could do was stay still and listen to her sweet, sadistic voice as she mocked him endlessly. The worst part of it was that he enjoyed her talking so dirty to him.
"I wonder, is this how I look like when Shido-san masturbates?"
She snapped her fingers, and immediately, her Astral Dress began disappearing into small balls of light. Kurumi became near-naked except for black lingerie covering her breasts and waist. Her exposed neckline was so captivating and her flawless porcelain skin was all for view. She looked so ravishing, so much more than Shido could ever imagine.
"Ufufu, am I really that attractive?" She put more weight upon him.
Shido was too excited to think. She was affecting him in more ways than one as he felt her stomach rub against his stomach and her thighs trapping his dick in between. Kurumi, knowing the effect she had on Shido, kept pressing, "You do find me attractive, right?"
Shido, already falling into her tempo, with lust-filled glazed eyes, found himself answering her before he knew it. "Yes. A lot."
Kurumi smiled, overjoyed that Shido was being so obedient. Looking back at how different he was compared to his past innocent self, it made her only want to dirty him even more. "I'm glad Shido-san thinks about me like that because I'll be asking for my favor now." Shido could only look at her, wondering what possible favor she wanted.
Surprisingly, Kurumi lifted herself up from him, allowing him to sit up. She then reached for his hands. Her hand was soft and lithe but as much as he enjoyed holding her hand, Shido knew her favor wouldn't be something so simple.
"Wha…"
He was right as she led his hands towards behind her back and then untied her lingerie covering her breast. Shido could only look at her well-endowed breasts in their naked glory and found his mouth becoming dry and his erection becoming harder than ever.
"Shido-san, I want you to touch me. Don't you want to feel them?" Kurumi said, still smiling.
Shido could only stare with a hanging mouth before stating uncertainly, "…it's fine to touch you like that?" His mind was uncertain but his hands were already fidgeting in anticipation and moving closer.
"Ara, you have a naked girl offering herself to you and that's your response?" Kurumi arched forward a bit, popping her breasts forward to give Shido a better view of them while enticing him. "Shido-san, I want this and I know you want to also. Unless you would rather we stop?"
Shido let go of any qualms as he immediately grabbed her breasts. Soft. Well-rounded. Ample. Those were Shido's first impressions. Shido felt his hands stiffen a bit upon touching someone's breast at his own initiative, even if it was at Kurumi's request. However, under Kurumi's encouraging gaze, he began to squeeze and rotate them, trying to understand the dynamics of the twin orbs in front of him.
Kurumi immediately let out a low moan. "Just like that, Shido-san," she breathed in a husky tone. She could feel her breasts swell at Shido's touch. Having another set of hands that weren't hers fondle her breasts was stimulating and erotic. She grabbed Shido's wrists, pulling them in so his hands pressed hard on her breasts.
Shido was already lost in his own world. He felt that her breasts, although not as big as Miku's, were perfect when feeling them fit in his hands. Palming her breasts, he kneaded her breasts, enjoying the way her breasts caved into his fingers. He ran his thumb across her nipple, causing Kurumi to stifle a moan of delight. Feeling that his hands weren't enough, Kurumi shifted her hands up his arms towards behind Shido's head and pulled his head in.
"Shido-san, more."
Shido suddenly found himself a soft valley before his eyes. Hesitating for a moment, he then dove his face forward and began smothering his face into Kurumi's chest. It was like having his face into a soft pillow overwhelmed with Kurumi's scent. He began planting kisses of adoration across her breasts, his lips savoring the warm and soft sensation. Shido even plumped her breasts up against his face so that her smooth breasts engulfed him.
Kurumi, enjoying the sensation from her breasts, ran her hands through Shido's hair, with moans of appreciation. This was a feeling she could get used to, having Shido in her breasts.
"Ahh~, Shido-san!" Kurumi let out a light yelp when Shido took a nipple into his mouth, his tongue teasing the tip of it. She tightened her grip on his hair, indicating him for more. "Keep going. Don't stop, ah~"
Shido got the message as he began to suck even harder, eliciting even more moans from her. Hearing Kurumi only turned him on even further and could already feel pre-cum coming out his length. The only thing in his mind was pleasuring Kurumi and nothing else. Shido didn't neglect the other nipple, moving his head to the other side while gripping the breast he just sucked on tightly with his hand.
"Shido-san!" The way Shido was devoting himself like a slave to her breasts was making Kurumi feel all tingly near her vagina. Not withholding anything back, she started to yell.
"That's right, Shido-san! You can do anything you want here! Everything you do here is our little secret! Show me what you can do and I'll give you pleasure beyond your knowledge!"
Shido didn't hold back after hearing that. Putting his hands behind her back, he pulled himself forward to get more pressure onto her lovely breasts. He was licking, sucking, kissing, fondling, even biting her lightly as saliva began to drip from his mouth onto her breasts. Kurumi felt she was on high based on the pure sensation that she was currently experiencing and knew her orgasm was near.
Shido wasn't in a better state. The feeling of her breasts against his face, her hand which was on his head, and her moans only served to arouse him more and more. He could also feel something building inside of him as his blood began to pump wildly within him.
"Ooohhhh!"
Before he knew it, he climaxed together with Kurumi. Kurumi hugged his head tightly, riding out her orgasm. It was exhilarating, cumming while having his face stuffed with her breasts. Kurumi let out a long moan, pulling her head back as she felt her juices splash onto Shido's stomach.
"Haa, haaa, haaa…"
Shido was amazed that he was able to come without Kurumi touching his dick. But, when he saw the expression on Kurumi's face and her affectionate smile, he felt proud of being able to please her. He felt that his whole existence was just for this moment.
"Mm, Shido-san did well. Very well, I must say."
Kurumi was also pleased with how things turned out. Seeing Shido's face that was on the verge of worshipping her was only fulfilling her control urges. Ever since she took interest in him, she wanted to claim him as her own and didn't want any other girl, let alone Spirit, have him. Sure, he can kiss them and seal them for all she cared but knowing that he looked at only her with such desire and lust made Kurumi shiver in delight.
Kurumi saw that Shido was still hard even after their orgasm and, seeing that she was still had lots of energy left, decided to reward Shido. "Shido-san, you really are perfect." Kurumi slowly reached her hand out to caress his face while having her other hand sexily wrap around his length.
"Anything for you, Kurumi." Shido barely nodded his head as he felt Kurumi's hand play with his cock.
Kurumi smiled. "Good Shido-san. Good boys should get their rewards, shouldn't they?" Shido could only groan in response but it was clear that he wanted more. He had wanted this so much ever since he first experienced it and now that she was touching it again, he realized that his own sessions paled in comparison to her touch. However, what she did next was something Shido didn't expect.
Kurumi lowered herself so that her face was near his lap and before Shido could react, she put his dick inside of her breasts and began rolling them across the sides of his dick.
"Kurumi…" Shido immediately whimpered. The way Shido felt from the friction between his dick and her breasts was providing a different sensation from a handjob but bombastic nonetheless. He began to buck, getting more of that smooth friction while Kurumi continued to smother him.
"Shido-san, how do you feel?" Knowing that Shido was overwhelmed by the pleasure, Kurumi gave another squeeze with her breasts.
"K-Kurumi, it feels so nice… ohh!" Shido could barely reply. Kurumi, satisfied with his response, decided to go a step further.
"Shido-san, if you had to save Tohka right now, would you go?" Kurumi asked a controversial question that could've broken the mood. However, she was confident. Confident in herself and confident that Shido would give her desired answer.
"No!"
"Ara, what a dirty boy! Am I really that fun to be with?! I'm the Worst Spirit, who killed thousands!"
"It doesn't matter! I only want you, Kurumi!"
Kurumi's smile widened as she laughed at Shido's quick answer. He didn't care if he was dirty if it meant feeling this good with Kurumi. This only confirmed her complete dominance over Shido. Shido couldn't care less about anybody right now, whether it was Tohka, Origami, Yoshino, Kotori, the Yamai sisters, or Miku. He would never think of any of them as a potential love interest because Kurumi dominated him fully, both body and mind.
"Kihihihi, shall I finally… eat Shido-san?"
"!" Shido felt a pang of fear as Kurumi gave a keen smile, licking her lips ravenously as she released his dick from her breasts.
Don't tell me, she's going to take my Reiryoku now?
But before he could react, she held the base of his cock with her hands and put his cock into her open mouth. The fear that had started to grow inside him instantly changed into bliss.
"Kurumi!" Shido could only yell her name as he was swept up in the raw pleasure he felt, only being able to put his hands on her head, much to Kurumi's appreciation.
Kurumi kept her eye contact with Shido and began working her tongue from the underside of his cock all the way to the head and swirled her tongue around it. Her tongue was performing miracles. She was working his entire length so skillfully that Shido felt his entire being was being sucked by her petite mouth.
"Kurumi, you're so good! Don't stop, please!" Kurumi only sucked on him harder with her cheeks caving and took more and more of him into her throat.
Shido was doing his best to remember this moment; Kurumi bobbing her head at his dick, the feeling of her tongue dominating his cock, Kurumi's hands that were on his hip now, her eyes looking deep into his. Shido could see her clock eye ticking and found himself absorbed, not being able to look at anything besides her. He felt that she was imprinting herself onto his soul as she continued to suck him out.
Shido felt that his orgasm was close and tried to warn her, "Kurumi! I-I'm close!" This resulted in Kurumi only going faster and taking him in more and before letting out a moan, he came, releasing everything into Kurumi's mouth and down her throat. Kurumi, not gagging once as she kept everything in her mouth and making sure Shido was watching, swallowed everything and gave him a smile.
"How was that, Shido-san? Did you enjoy it?"
Shido could only nod. "Kurumi, you're divine." His description was enough to make Kurumi giggle.
"Ara ara, Shido-san, you're making me embarrassed." Shido could only stare at Kurumi's beautiful face in reverence as she continued, "I'm just glad that Shido-san was willing to spend the night with me. It was a favor well spent." Of course, Kurumi had basically kidnapped him but at this point, Shido didn't really mind. In fact, he hoped that Kurumi would kidnap him more often.
Kurumi stood up from the bed, reached out one of her hands to the ceiling and murmured softly, "Elohim." Darkness immediately wrapped around her and soon, she was donned in her usual crimson Gothic dress, and Shido, who was putting on his clothes, could only admire her beauty once again.
Shido had walked towards Kurumi, intending to kiss her but before he could, Kurumi stopped him, smiling softly with a finger on his lips.
"Ara ara, Shido-san, you naughty boy. My Reiryoku is not up for offers, unfortunately." Shido could only stare blankly; it was then he realized that if he kissed her, he would seal her Reiryoku. He hadn't even thought about that. He only wanted to feel Kurumi's lips, to taste her.
For the first time, Shido resented his sealing ability for not allowing him to kiss Kurumi. It was the first time he wanted to kiss a girl, not for the intention of sealing but to just kiss them yet he couldn't without disregarding the other party's consent.
Kurumi laughed, seeing Shido's depressed expression. "Well, it's time for us to go back. We wouldn't want Kotori to start a fuss over you missing."
"…When can I see you again?" Shido despondently asked. Kurumi was going to leave him. Again.
"Ara, ara, Shido-san. Do you want me that much?" Kurumi asked with her usual smile.
Shido immediately replied, "Yes. Without you, I don't think I'll be able to handle myself." After receiving a handjob from Kurumi, Shido became obsessed with her and only contained himself through occasional private sessions. Now Kurumi just upped the pleasure by a whole new level; Shido could only imagine the post-symptoms that would result from this.
Kurumi brightened in glee. "Yes, Shido-san, that's how it should be. After all, you belong to me and nobody else. However, not yet. I still have more to do. But, I will surely come again for you. After all, my goal is to eat Shido-san and I must say, you're quite delicious." Kurumi licked her lips as she stared at him with desire.
Shido shuddered. Before, those words would've scared him. But now…
Kurumi giggled at his expression. Snapping her fingers, she opened a portal of darkness large enough for the both of them.
"Now, Shido-san, let's go back." She offered her hand towards him, ready to drop him off back at his home.
Shido, seeing her hand, instead of grabbing it, went in and hugged Kurumi tightly. He wanted to at least remember her touch and heat before the inevitable separation.
"Ara." Kurumi looked surprised at first before giving a smile. Not a teasing smile, not a sadistic smile, but a gentle one full of compassion. "There, there, Shido-san."
She patted his back, letting him hug her. They stayed in that position for a long time.
Shido was back in his room and saw that it was already dawn. He had a lot of things to think about, mostly about Kurumi.
At first, he thought she was cruel as she had killed civilians on their first date and threatened a spacequake at his school but after that, she enraptured him and had a certain allure and charm that he couldn't help but be attracted to.
She had helped him save Tohka and assisted him in fighting Miku and gaining her support. Even though she could've taken the chance to devour his Reiryoku, she didn't and instead helped bring him out of a hopeless situation. Last but not least, she satisfied and gratified the desires he never knew he had but now that he knew, he couldn't help but want more. Shido couldn't help but reminisce on their experience together, knowing that Kurumi had become a huge part of his life.
He went to sleep, knowing that he would probably be fascinated with Kurumi for the rest of his life.
