I wasn't too surprised by Ashido's boldness. This made her stand out, and given her attempts at me, Momo didn't seem to stop her much.
My pheromones worked for everyone. Even Uraraka was blushing next to her, but Ashido was making contact. Unlike the others, she didn't stutter or look away.
Hm... Well, this is a little unexpected, because I was planning to delay until Training Camp, but why not?
"Okay," I said.
— Hooray!" and she was glad, catching me deftly by the arm, still blushing a little. However, there was a certain challenge in her eyes, which I reacted quite calmly to.
— What's wrong with you?"
— Hee-hee.".. Just like that... Do you mind?
- no.
Why would I push her away? Of course, there was a possibility that this was some kind of test that she personally arranged for her friend. But then again, as far as I know, they weren't friends. They just pretended...
So we went...
— Is there something you want to talk about?"
"Ah? Well... she hesitated at my question, then giggled sweetly:
"Maybe."..
I raised an eyebrow, and she pouted a little:
— What are you doing?" Do you want to go out with a friend?
— Since when did we become friends?"
"Hey! This is not true! My words clearly stung her... It's never too late to make friends!
So energetic...
I nodded with a grin:
— You're right. I don't mind.
— Hooray!" Let's go to the park!
It's been a long road... And very difficult for my ears. It felt like Ashido was trying to tell me everything about her life, and in great detail. But, I endured all of this because I was curious about what she was really up to. And in general, I was thinking about what this would lead to...
However, when we arrived at the park, Mina, who was chattering incessantly, became quiet for some reason, and then completely began to look as if something was tormenting her or she was making a serious decision. It made me even more interested, so I just kept walking and didn't say anything.
Why would I stop a girl in love from making a decision? And there was no doubt that she was head over heels in love with me at all, if only because she was constantly embarrassed and behaved with me.
Unlike all the other girls I'd met, Mina was the type who didn't back down or wait, but rather took matters into her own hands. I liked that about her, if only because it would be good for me. The only thing that bothered me was the fact that it might end badly, especially with Yaoyorozu. Yuu is one thing, but a classmate is another...
And so, we suddenly stopped, and then Ashido suddenly turned to me and abruptly grabbed me by the collar and, without even letting me be surprised, suddenly pulled me sharply!
Wow, how brave...
That's just it...
I immediately reacted and put out my hand.
Ashido's lips immediately collided with my palm as I stared at her in disbelief.
...
...
There was an awkward pause, and then Mina blushed, abruptly released me, and jumped back in a panic:
"I'm sorry! Sorry!
"Hmm?" — I didn't act seriously, but rather calmly, so as not to frighten her off:
"What was that, Mina?"
— Aaah! N-no, nothing! she covered her flushed face and sat down:
— I was stupid! Sorry!
I narrowed my eyes.
I couldn't let that happen, of course. Most likely, she would have succumbed to the aphrodisiac, and given her feelings and inexperience, everything would have ended according to the expected scenario. Yes, and I could succumb to such exotic sexuality...
However, this could lead to problems, as I said earlier. It would have been better to solve them in advance, to somehow trick Mina into keeping quiet or accepting a possible relationship. I had to use her wishes for me as an opportunity not only to give her what she wanted, but also as a trump card against her.
If she doesn't say anything, why not? But if you do it right away and don't think twice, she might very well tell Momo, or even use it against her to fight for me. Mina still could... I didn't really want to lose Yaoyorosa, because I felt quite comfortable around her.
Therefore...
— Why are you apologizing?" I smiled and sat down next to her and patted her head.
Mina looked at me in surprise, taking her hands away from her face... Aren't you mad?"
— Why would I be angry?
- But... But I tried... And you... She started to stutter and get nervous... You have Yaoyorozu all over you, and I... I'm so mean... Sorry!
I ruffled her hair with a grin:
"Oh, come on... Wanting to kiss a guy you like is quite normal.
Mina blushed deeply and lowered her head, not even denying that she liked me.
— As for Momo... I don't think she'll like it.":
"I'm sorry, Mina... I would love to respond to your feelings, because I like you, too, but...
- And? - she already shuddered and jumped up — - Do you like me?!
— well... I smiled sheepishly...
"Ah! Really?! she looked at me with a look of such happiness that it made me uneasy.
However, we must stick to the plan. Therefore...
I sighed:
— Even if I like you, it doesn't change anything. Being with you means hurting Momo, and being with her and you at the same time is impossible.
"Ah ... well... Mina frowned, then considered:
"N-probably...
Well, I didn't have any other options. A girl in love could be convinced that a relationship with two is normal, but people are selfish, so this is probably a temporary measure. But Ashido had to come to that on her own. As for what happens when she doesn't want a hidden relationship... Well, this is already a matter for the future. I'll find a way to get everyone to accept the situation. And isn't it love that works wonders? It sounds ridiculous, of course, but I'm sure there will be some methods. Why not build a world where a harem is the order of the day? Why would I want to adapt to other people's ideas?
"Don't be sad... I approached her again and patted her. We can be friends.
Mina smiled ruefully:
— yeah...
In the end, we went home. She didn't bother me anymore, and she didn't even talk to me. But I tried to convince her that everything was fine and she had nothing to worry about. Of course, I played tricks and made hints, stroked her head, touched her cheeks... In general, all the things that the guy who was against it obviously wouldn't do.
I hope that was enough. Let's see how soon it gets to something bigger.
As for Training Camp, Ashido has never been my main goal... Just an additional one, which is not so difficult to change.
