"Hikigaya-kun, Auntie's not on her period today, so you can rest easy~"
Faced with Sayuri's mischievous, smiling gaze, Hikigaya's heart skipped a beat.
"Sayuri-san, whether or not you're on your period is really not something I need to know."
"Hikigaya-kun~ It's not just that I'm not on my period, but also..."
She licked her lips as a playful smile danced on her face.
"It's my safe day too~~"
"...Huh?"
"Hehe, so you don't have to hold back with Auntie today—"
"Sayuri-san, I'm going to start the warm-up now."
As Sayuri continued teasing, Hikigaya quickly cut her off.
"Alright, alright."
With an indulgent smile, Sayuri said:
"Whatever you say. Let's do some warm-ups first. Hmm... Why don't you teach Auntie?"
"...Okay."
Left with no choice, Hikigaya sighed and complied.
The two of them walked to the center of the clearing and began warming up.
Hikigaya guided Sayuri through the stretches, his mind racing as he tried to figure out how to escape the increasingly precarious situation.
"Sayuri-san, you really shouldn't be wearing denim shorts. They're not ideal for working out," Hikigaya muttered while helping her with the motions.
Though her chest was modest—on par with Eriri's, really—it was her hips that stood out.
After all, Sayuri was a mother. Compared to the fresh energy of young girls, her lower half had a much more elegant curve—classic pear-shaped figure.
"Hehe~ Are you saying you'd prefer if I wore a mini skirt instead?" Sayuri chuckled. "But wouldn't it be odd for a woman in her thirties to dress like a teenager?"
"Sayuri-san… you honestly look like you're in your twenties."
"Aww, such a sweet talker~" Sayuri laughed as she slowly lifted her leg. "Like this, Hikigaya-kun~?"
She placed her shapely leg up on the stretching bar.
"...Yes."
Hikigaya averted his gaze.
Even under the dim evening light, Sayuri's smooth, porcelain-like legs were on full display.
"Easy now, Sayuri-san—cough, gently press down."
Because of the snug denim, her hips were perfectly accentuated—so round they made one instinctively gasp.
"Got it~"
Seeing Hikigaya's shifting gaze, Sayuri's smile widened further as she softly murmured:
"Hikigaya-kun, don't look away. If you do, Auntie might mess up her form~"
"Alright."
"Come a little closer."
"Understood."
"Put your hands on Auntie's leg. I can't press down far enough."
"...Okay."
Reluctantly, Hikigaya followed her instructions.
The air was filled with the subtle, captivating scent of a mature woman.
Her curves were enchanting, her smile disarming.
A teenage boy didn't stand a chance.
Hikigaya had to admit—even if Sayuri was lacking in the bust department, her feminine allure was in full bloom. A total heartstopper.
"Hikigaya-kun~ You've been staring at Auntie's hips this whole time~" Sayuri whispered with a sultry smile, leaning in close to his ear.
"Eh? N-No, I was just... looking at your leg."
"Oh? Boys need to be honest~ Come now, tell the truth—weren't you checking out Auntie's butt?"
"Sayuri-san, y-you're too close."
"Hehe~ Hikigaya-kun, tell me… do you think Auntie's pretty?"
Her teasing face drew even closer, lips just about to brush his cheek.
"Of course you're beautiful, Sayuri-san."
Suddenly, Hikigaya took a step back, straightened up, and said solemnly:
"But! Women often look even more beautiful after a run, so… Sayuri-san, let's go jogging."
Sayuri chuckled.
"Alright, lead the way then."
That was close. Way too close.
Sayuri-san was seriously dangerous.
Tonight… this wasn't looking good!
He was lucky he'd kept his willpower intact. If it were any other guy, they'd probably have already fallen.
Truly…
The more mature the woman, the more terrifying she becomes!
Still recovering from the tension, Hikigaya started jogging around the park with Sayuri.
He ran ahead, while Sayuri trailed behind.
The breeze from his pace brushed against her face, making her feel a little light-headed.
As expected, the scent of a teenage boy was just too pleasant.
Her gaze drifted to his legs.
Toned muscles.
Veins popping.
She spaced out for a second.
This boy… was exactly her type.
But of course—
Fantasies were one thing.
Suddenly, Sayuri sensed something was off.
"Wait... this pace... hff, hff—Hikigaya-kun, w-wait…"
Just as she was about to call out, Hikigaya sped up without warning, forcing her to keep up.
And the moment she caught up—
He sped up again.
"You little—ugh!"
Sayuri couldn't even get the words out, and had no choice but to grit her teeth and sprint after him.
A few minutes later—
"Ahhh—"
Sayuri twisted her leg and collapsed with a thud.
"Sayuri-san!"
Hearing the sound from behind, Hikigaya stopped immediately and rushed back.
"Are you alright?!"
"Hikigaya-kun… are you a bull or something? You're gonna run Auntie into the ground!" Sayuri panted, glaring at him with sweat-drenched cheeks and a half-exasperated look.
"Sorry…"
Hikigaya helped her up.
"It's fine, I'm not hurt," Sayuri gasped, catching her breath. "But I'm seriously exhausted. Go grab the water for Auntie, I'm dying of thirst."
"Got it. I'll be right back."
Hikigaya nodded and jogged off toward the clearing.
"Mm~ Thanks, sweetie~"
Sayuri waved, slumping onto a nearby bench and watching the boy disappear.
However—
As soon as he was out of sight, her entire demeanor shifted.
Her eyes sparkled, lips curling with renewed energy.
"Hehe~ Hikigaya-kun, you really think you can get away like that? Trying to wear me out by running me into the ground?"
Of course she'd seen through his plan.
So she'd just played along, faking exhaustion.
Truth was—
She felt amazing. She'd been working out every night lately and was more energetic than ever.
"You wanna wear me out? Hehe~ Better worry about Auntie wearing you out."
Licking her lips, her face flushed with excitement.
"Hikigaya-kun… tonight, you're mine. I'm going to show you what a real woman is like, hehe~"
