Chapter 7

“Don’t tell me… calling me ‘Saintess’ is what excites you?”

Qifeng neither denied nor admitted it. A “uuu” moan escaped her tightly closed red lips.

“Don’t just stay silent. I’m not doing lewd things to you just to bully you. We agreed to ‘explore’ together, so just treat it as an academic discussion, okay?”

“…I admit, calling you ‘Saintess’ does… give me more of a feeling…” Qifeng said shyly.

“What’s with that? Is it because doing lewd things with me, the Saintess, gives you a sense of immorality? Or is it because our ‘superior-subordinate’ relationship intensifies your masochistic (M) mentality?”

“Uu…”

“What? Why are you suddenly copying my tone?”

Seeing her look so impossibly ashamed she was about to cry, I must have hit the mark, right? Is this… is this the kind of expression I usually make?

“F-Forcing someone to say such shameful things… Fei’er, you have the potential to be a sadist (S)…”

“What nonsense are you spouting? Of course I don’t!” I scolded her, both ashamed and annoyed.

I’m laughably weak in front of Lian Qi.

Qifeng replied, embarrassed, “A-Actually… it’s both of the things you just said…”

“Both? I never knew you were like this, Qifeng.”

“Uu… you’re disgusted with me…” she bit the hair tie on her wrist, a look of shame on her face.

“I’m not disgusted.”

“Everyone’s ‘shame-point’ is different, after all. I’m not in any position to judge her. Don’t I often immerse myself in the sense of immorality that comes from being a boy wearing girl’s clothes?”

“Is there… a mark?” Qifeng gently stroked the place I had just kissed, a trace of happiness on her face.

I moved her hand and looked closely. As I thought, no. Qifeng’s neck was pristine. All that time I spent sucking… was wasted.

“Just as I expected… the first experiment was a failure.”

“Is that so… But that’s okay,” Qifeng said delicately. “Tonight, I’m your guinea pig.”

Qifeng really is my good sister, willingly indulging me like this. But to be honest, I’m a little discouraged. How does Lian Qi get it right every single time? Why can’t I do it? I tried hard to recall the “mouth-feel” of Lian Qi’s lips on my neck… She seems to… “suck.”

And she sucks continuously, without letting even a bit of air in…

“Let me try one more time.”

I waited for a full minute before letting Qifeng go. Looking at the results of the battle—this time, there was indeed a small but definite kiss mark on her neck.

“It worked!” I said joyfully.

”…” Qifeng stroked the mark on her neck, a satisfied smile on her face.

“I feel… complete now.”

“You’re such a silly girl. What nonsense is that? Come on, don’t you have any other thoughts?”

“Right now, I feel… like after you left a mark on my body… I’ve become your property~”

“…As long as you’re happy.”

I said helplessly. Qifeng’s way of thinking unexpectedly matches Lian Qi’s mentality, doesn’t it? But Lian Qi is probably only interested in possessing me.

“This is the first time I’ve left a mark on someone. Consider yourself compensated.”

“A-Aren’t you going to continue? Leaving it… hanging like this…”

Qifeng shyly covered her face with the back of her hand. Her appearance, dripping with shyness, was as beautiful as a painting. I don’t know if my heart skipped a beat or what, but I was very nervous.

“Eh—? Didn’t we agree this was just an experiment? Silly girl, where is your mind going?”

“Experi…” she said delicately. “Aren’t… you going to see it through to the end?”

“Huh!? Wha—!” I shot up from her body, blushing.

“You said you’d experiment on me. Stopping now is like giving up halfway. Besides… Fei’er, you haven’t even gotten me ‘excited’ yet.”

“N-Nonsense! You were clearly acting so ashamed just now!”

To think she’d just deny it! Hmph! If only Lian Qi’s phone were here, I could have recorded it as evidence.

“But… the reason you’re not continuing… is it because this is all you know how to do, Fei’er?”

“You shameless girl—!”

How dare she provoke me.

That’s not it at all!

I absolutely have to prove her wrong.

“Uu… Fei’er scolded me.”

Seeing her delicate appearance, I just knew she’d enjoy being scolded by me.

She’s hopeless.

“Actually… you were biting the hair tie on your wrist to hold back, weren’t you?”

“Eh, eh!?” Being exposed, her cheeks instantly turned a shade redder.

Hmph. In any case, I’ve got her hands pinned. She can forget about biting that hair tie.

I didn’t care anymore. I bit her ear.

“…Saintess… don’t…”

“You’re finally begging me? This is what you get for provoking me!”

It turns out, when Lian Qi does this to me… I’m just like Qifeng? That’s so impossibly shameful.

“Uu… The Saintess is very… dominant today?”

The small lamp on the nightstand gave off a warm glow. Qifeng, her wrists pinned beneath me, looked completely helpless. That submissive, delicate, and shy appearance made even me blush a little.

“What’s with that? You keep calling me ‘Saintess,’ silly girl. It looks like you’re actually enjoying this, aren’t you?”

Qifeng closed her eyes and didn’t answer me, her eyelashes long and curled. She’s probably too ashamed to speak now that I’ve seen through her, right?

Just by calling me ‘Saintess,’ she associates it with ‘doing lewd things with the Saintess,’ which creates that sense of immorality… I’ve had enough. And emphasizing our ‘superior-subordinate’ relationship just intensifies her shame.

It’s a good thing Lian Qi doesn’t force me to call her ‘Master’ when she’s doing lewd things to me. Otherwise, it would definitely add insult to injury for my sense of shame. Qifeng’s delicate, shy appearance under me right now is exactly what I’d expect myself to look like.

But then again.

What a sense of accomplishment.

But I’m not a sadist.

“…Ah… I’ll let you off this time.”

I rolled over to lie next to her. Qifeng turned over, looking at me with a delicate, shy expression. Uu—! It makes me… want to dote on her.

“I… never knew… Fei’er… you were so…” she said to me shyly.

“What are you talking about… ‘so’ what?”

Seriously. She’s saying such strange things, and she has this look on her face… like she’s already been conquered by me. If anyone else heard this, they’d definitely misunderstand!

“I like it when you… do this to me,” she said, looking at me shyly.

“Eh—? Do what to you?”

“Just… like you did just now,” she stammered.

“You really are hopeless.”

As expected of Qifeng. Even the things she says have an aura of submissiveness.

I realized Qifeng is being very clingy right now. Even though I’m tired, I refuse to be like Lian Qi, who just bullies me and then passes out. So, I have to stay up and talk with Qifeng. And so… we started discussing church doctrine.

The whole time, Qifeng leaned against her pillow, listening to me with a look of deep affection, as if she were completely engrossed.

Just then, Qifeng carefully pinched the corner of my clothes and said quietly, “Maybe… next time… you could tie me up?”

Eek! What’s with that expectant look on her face!

“I refuse.”

“Eh!? Why?”

“Do you even need to ask why?”

We’re childhood friends, after all. I have no desire to turn into a ‘sadist and masochist’ relationship.

It was late. We soon fell asleep.

The next morning, I was standing sleepily in front of the mirror brushing my teeth. Before I knew it, Qifeng had come in with her cup and toothbrush to join me.

In the mirror, one of us had white hair, the other gold. Our teeth-brushing movements were in perfect sync. Even the kiss marks on our necks were strikingly identical.

Qifeng saw this and grinned foolishly at me, as if she thought we were a perfect match. I couldn’t be bothered with her. Hmph. Having identical kiss marks… it’s so embarrassing!
