Hobby Modification App; Episode 11, Day 5 : I gave everyone a hobby tied to the five senses

"―Big brother, why? "

　I heard Suzune's voice in the morning as I ate my breakfast and looked at her.

　You ask me why? Wait a minute. I've been surprised since this morning. Why is she acting so normal?

　I was greeted normally in the morning as if she had always done so.

　A typical family greeting without a cold stare.

　After that, she sits down for breakfast with me as if nothing had happened, and she continues like this.

　Big brother, huh? Now, this is the first time I'm hearing this.

"...No, I've never heard you call me big brother before."

　Uh, I don't know what Suzune prefers to call me since we've never had a conversation before.

"... is that, so? "

　Suzune says this and eats her breakfast, averting her eyes slightly.

　It seems that she doesn't want me to talk about it 

    She's just going to play dumb and say, 'I've always had this attitude.'

　Well, if Suzune wants to do so, I will respect it.

　It doesn't matter to me.

　If I can see Suzune's change, that's fine with me.

"I'm glad that you call me big brother, but I'm also happy that Suzune and I can now have breakfast together."

　When I said this, Suzune's face seemed to have a slight reddish tint.

　Hmm? I don't know about this one.

　A slight change in her facial expression. She looks happy, but it's hard to tell.

"....i see"

　Suzune said shortly and started to eat her breakfast.

　Every time she bends down to eat her breakfast, I look at Suzune's black hair, which spills out in the air, and think.

   Is that enough to be considered a change if she has reached this point?

　After all, the absolute zero Suzune is behaving in a normal way to me.

　Let's give Suzune a second hobby like the others and see what happens.

　With Suzune eating breakfast by my side, I pick up my phone and open the [Hobby Modification App]

　Then, I tap the red dot, which is supposed to be Suzune on my phone, bring up the 'Hobby Modification' screen, and tap the part marked [Hobby 3: ] and modify it to [Hobby 3: Smelling Keisuke Sato's scent]

　Suzune will be in charge of the "sense of smell" among the five senses.

　Hopefully, we can find out what affects people the most among the five senses.

　I tried to suppress my excitement as I ate my breakfast.

    *    *    *

　―Today, just like yesterday, I go to school with Yukishiro.

　I don't know how long she has been waiting for me, but Yukishiro has been waiting for me in front of my house, as a matter of course.

　I don't have any reason to refuse, so I agree to accompany her and appreciate her efforts.

" ... "

" ... "

　I walk with Yukishiro on the way to school in silence.

　I'm the type of person who doesn't mind being silent, but I don't know about Yukishiro.

　I wonder if this glancing at me is a hobby or if she is feeling awkward.

　...Is it possible that Yukishiro is the only one who feels awkward?

　Considering Yukishiro's past school activities, I don't think she has such a caring personality.

　Or maybe her hobbies have been modified, and she has changed to that extent.

　While I was thinking about such an unimportant thing, Yukishiro called me.

"....Tomorrow is our day off, but do you have something to do, Sato? "

　Again, out of the blue.

　Tomorrow is Saturday, which means that I have a day off, but I have no reason to tell Yukishiro about my holiday plans.

　But there is no reason to hide it, either.

　Well, let's just tell her what I usually do here.

"There is nothing to do in particular. What do you have to do tomorrow, Yukishiro? "

　I asked, and I saw Yukishiro look happy.

　It looks like she is happy about something else rather than happy to be able to talk to me.

"...I haven't finished cleaning up the new house. I'm going to do that tomorrow... Sato, I was wondering if I could ask you to help me."

　Yukishiro continued, saying that she would pay me for helping her out.

　I see Yukishiro's jet-black eyes in mine. As usual, I have no idea what she is thinking.

　If I don't know what she is thinking, should I dive in to find out?

　If you do not enter the tiger's cave, you will not catch its cub.
(Japanese Idioms, The meaning is similar to ‘nothing ventured, nothing gained’, or ‘no pain, no gain’. It says that you won’t achieve anything if you don’t put in the effort.)

　I don't know whether the devil or the snake will come out, but this is a chance to find out what kind of state Yukishiro is in.

"I'll help you as much as I can."

"...I'm glad. Come to my house tomorrow... Promise me, okay? "

　Yukishiro smiled, happily, she seems really happy.

　Just before entering the school, I realize.

　―Huh, come to think of it. That's the first time I've seen Yukishiro's natural smile, isn't it?

　I glance next door.

　There was Yukishiro's face, the same expressionless face as usual.

    *    *    *

    ―Lunch break.

　As I was walking, I saw Ichijouin in the hallway.

"Hi, Ichijouin."

　When I greeted her, Ichijouin sighed and tried to pass by without saying hello.

　…No change in Ichijouin?

　Looking at Suzune, it seems to me that she should have changed.

　It may be useless to go any further.

　As far as I can see from the outside, there is no change at all in Ichijouin.

　Then, I should try to add a new stimulus.

　I turn on my heel to chase after Ichijouin, take out my cell phone and open [Hobby Modification App].

　Then, I tap the red dot on my phone, which I assume is Ichijouin's, and bring up the 'Hobby Modification' screen. I tap the part marked [Hobby 3: ] and modify it to [Hobby 3: Licking Keisuke Sato's body].

　I'd like Ichijouin to be in charge of the hobby related to "taste".

　With this, all five senses are assigned to the subject. Now, how will Ichijouin change?

    *    *    *

 

    Tap- tap- tap-

　―The student council room was filled with the sound of Ichijouin's irritated tapping of her fingers on the desk.

　Perhaps it was because Ichijouin and I were the only ones in the room, but the sound seemed so loud that it sounded as if there were speakers attached to the tips of her fingers.

"... Sato, could you please don't make me repeat myself? The broadcasting club will be discontinued as of this month. This has already been decided."

　It was something I was told out of the blue today.

　I was summoned to the student council office and told something I didn't expect.

　I am not that attached to that club, but it is definitely a comfortable place for me.

　Naturally, I protested to Ichijouin, but she has not listened to me at all.

　

    She said that the deliberation of the decision started this week. 

　That is after I had a fight with Ichijouin.

"...The daughter of the Ichijouin family is such a cunning one, isn't she?"

"Please don't misunderstand me. The abolition of the broadcasting club has been a matter of concern for a long time. It's not surprising since it's never been active in the first place. "

　Ichijouin, whose eyes had turned sharply to me, cut me off.

　It is true, but there are many other clubs in this school that do not have a track record of activities, and it is funny that only the broadcasting club is singled out as a culprit.

　It was certain that someone's intention was involved in the decision.

　However, even if I say that It does not cover the fact that there is no track record of activities.

　The reason for the decision to close the club is a justifiable one.

　Even if Ichijouin is behind this, there is nothing to criticize.

　At best, they are only urged to destroy other inactive clubs, which may cause criticism from those who are members of those clubs.

　The proposal of building up a track record of activities now has just been rejected, and there is nothing we can do about it.

　I think they should at least accept that proposal, but 'the decision is the decision', she said.

　

　If there is anyone who can break the decision, it would be her.

　Still, I hope that the other party will be lenient enough to grant a little more amnesty.

　一Against Ichijouin, the odds are not good.

　It is said that "it's free to ask", but if the other party has bad feelings toward me, she will likely ask for a high price to pay.

　So, what should I do?

　I think as I look at Ichijouin, who is still tapping the desk with her middle finger and staring at me as if she is trying to intimidate me.

　The only weapon I have left is an app, but even that is not very effective.

　...No. There's no need to solve it with a quick fix.

　She said this month, so I have three weeks.

　The seeds are planted. All that's left is to make it bloom.

　If Ichijouin is behind this decision, it may be reversed if she can be persuaded.

　If so, then all I can do here is make additional preparations.

"...I see. It is natural if you put it that way. Ichijouin is right, I guess we have no choice but to close the club."

　I gesture to Ichijouin, raising my hand as if to say that I have given up.

　Then, Ichijouin makes a regretful face at me.

　...What is that expression?

　When I looked at her in confusion, Ichijouin looked surprised and glared at me again as if she had been absorbed in the situation.

"......I wish I knew."

　Then Ichijouin suddenly turned her eyes away from me.

　The tone has clearly dropped. The tone of her words, which were intended to cut me to death, was gone.

　What does this mean?

　It seems like she didn't expect me to back down at this point.

　...Now, there's no point in thinking about it now.

　I'll just do what I can.

"Okay, I'll go back and tell the club members."

　I say, and I head for the door.

　After two or three steps, I looked back at Ichijouin as if I had just noticed something about her.

　I see Ichijouin looking at me with an uninterested look in her eyes.

"Ah, Ichijouin, I forgot to tell you."

　I said that and walked closer to Ichijouin.

"W-what is it?"

　Ichijouin looks at me suspiciously as I approach.

　I didn't care, I just walked up to her.

"No, you've got a piece of trash on your shoulder―Ah! "

    Pretending to stumble, I put my left hand on Ichijouin's shoulder and quickly put my right index finger into Ichijouin's mouth.

" Mugu一aghh一hh ! ?"

　I feel Ichijouin's tongue on my right index finger.

　The tongue is warm and slippery.

　The moist atmosphere in her mouth, which contained a lot of Ichijouin's saliva, was clinging to my finger.

　Feeling the warmth of the human tongue on my fingertips, I traced the surface of her tongue, pressed my fingertips into the surface of the tongue, and let Ichijouin know the taste of my fingers.

　―Then I felt her tongue move on the tip of my finger.

　Slurp

　Ichijouin's tongue continues to lick the surface of my fingertip once, twice, and repeatedly as if she's scraping off the surface.

　Lick-lick

　Ichijouin licks my finger with a dumbfounded expression.

　When her cheeks were beginning to turn vermilion, Ichijouin's eyes suddenly lit up.

　―At the same time, Ichijouin pushes me away hard from her with both hands.

"What are you doing!"

"Ah, whoa, dangerous!..... No, I'm really sorry!  There was a piece of trash on your shoulder. I was just trying to get it off!  "

　I regain my balance at the last moment, make a calming gesture, and give a superficial excuse.

　In response, Ichijouin wiped her mouth with her arm and glared hard at me with a red face.

"You!!! You really are the worst!"

　Indeed, it's scary when a beautiful woman gets angry.

　I backed away as I heard Ichijouin's furious words. 

"Sorry, sorry!  Well then, I'm going to leave quickly! "

　I turn my body around to run away and leave the place.

　Ichijouin's hysterical voice continued until I closed the door of the student council room.

　I think while listening to it.

　Well, the seeds are planted.

　Will it bloom well?

　In a good mood, I returned to the clubroom to report that the club had been dismissed.
