Chapter 589 - 589: This Isn't Seduction, Okay?
"Hurry up and answer me."Just as Lumine was reeling in shock and at a loss for how to answer, Mobius suddenly raised her voice slightly and said this, nearly startling Lumine.
But even so, she still had no idea how to respond.
After all, a question like this — how on earth was she supposed to answer it?
"Um... it's just... it's just... sometimes a single look is enough, or..." All of a sudden, Lumine knew how she ought to answer, and then she continued: "You could be more direct — just come out and say you want to do that sort of thing."
Thinking back to how timid and hesitant she used to be, Lumine was actually voicing the thing she had once wanted so much to do.
Of course, by now she had already done exactly that — she had even said things like "it's not enough," which was about as direct as it got.
"More direct? More direct how?"
Seeming not to understand, Mobius wanted Lumine to spell it out more clearly.
"It's just... you just tell Kaito straight out that you want to do that sort of thing."
"But just now I'd already sat down on top of him and was pulling his pants off — isn't that direct enough?" The instant Lumine finished speaking, Mobius shot back with this.
Lumine: "..."
Hearing Mobius say this, Lumine couldn't help recalling the scene she had just witnessed.
She felt that, in that moment, even if Kaito had wanted to go along with it, he probably would have had to first stop and consider whether something was seriously wrong with her.
After all, who would behave like that — coming on like a succubus, as though she'd die if she didn't get to do that sort of thing immediately?
"That's too direct — it felt like you'd already scared Kaito off." Although she had only just told Mobius to be more direct, it was patently obvious that the Mobius on the screen had taken "direct" way too far — she had completely overdone it.
"A moment ago you told me to be more direct, and now you're saying I'm too direct — are you toying with me?"
Judging by her words, Mobius seemed quite angry.
I never told you to be THAT direct!!!
Unable to help thinking this helplessly to herself, Lumine spoke up: "What I said was a little more direct — what you did was too direct. For example, right now, when I... ahem, when I want to do that sort of thing with Kaito, I'll first check whether he's busy with anything; if he isn't, I'll sit down next to him, and then... and then... well, just come out and say you want to do that sort of thing, and ask whether he has time."
As she went on, Lumine ended up falling back on the same line as before.
It couldn't be helped — that particular feeling really was something she couldn't put into words.
"Brushing me off again, are you?" Mobius seemed about to truly lose her temper.
Lumine hurriedly denied it: "No, no, it's just... you don't actually have to come right out and ask for it either. You could go pretend to take a bath first, then sit down next to him in your bathrobe and deliberately let the robe slip off or something — basically just come up with any excuse, like saying it's hot out, or changing clothes really slowly, and at that point he might just ask you whether you want to... do that sort of thing."
Having said her piece, Lumine watched Mobius, who looked as though she were weighing the feasibility of it.
In truth, she had never actually done this herself — she'd only thought about it, but had never put it into practice.
"Then... when the time comes, is Kaito definitely going to take the initiative and ask me whether I want to do that sort of thing?"
After thinking it over for a moment, Mobius asked this.
"Uh... that... not necessarily, maybe... he'd just give you a touch or something..."
"That's good enough!" Before Lumine could even finish, Mobius sprang up off the bed, looking as if she was about to go put Lumine's method into practice right then and there.
"Huh?"
Not having expected Mobius to act on her suggestion right this instant, Lumine was stunned.
"What 'huh'? I'm going to string you back up first — and if your method doesn't work, I'll come back and settle accounts with you!"
Lumine: "..."
Faced with Mobius's words, Lumine really didn't know what to say.
After that, she was led back by Mobius to her original spot and strung up again.
Bang—
After closing the door, Mobius left.
"What did she ask you, Lumine?" After staring at the door for a good while, Miko finally posed this question.
While she had been waiting here, she had been wondering every single moment what question Mobius had taken Lumine away to ask, and at the same time she had been worrying about Lumine's safety.
"That, well..."
"What is it? Inconvenient to say? Or did she forbid you from saying?"
Seeing Lumine's hesitation, Miko speculated along these lines.
If Lumine really had been threatened by Mobius, then she wouldn't press the issue.
It couldn't be helped — at the moment, the two of them were still being held captive.
"It's neither of those." Lumine shook her head; she just wasn't sure how best to phrase it.
"Then out with it, Lumine — you've got me so curious. Hurry up and tell me." By this point Miko was thoroughly impatient.
"Mobius asked me how I'd usually go about it, if I wanted to do that sort of thing with Kaito."
Under Miko's gaze, Lumine finally spilled the question that Mobius had just asked her.
"Huh?"
Just like Lumine before her, Miko was stunned for a moment.
It couldn't be helped — this really was way beyond what she had anticipated.
"What a sexually frustrated little brat." Unable to resist taking that jab at Mobius, Miko then went on to ask: "So how did you answer her?"
Right now Miko was very curious as to how Lumine had just replied to Mobius.
And she was curious about something else, too — namely, why Mobius had come looking for Lumine instead of for her.
"Uh... that, well..." It had to be said, when it came to the method she had just suggested, Lumine was a bit too embarrassed to repeat it in front of Miko.
"Hurry up and say it, Lumine — don't tell me your way of seducing Kaito is something really weird?" Miko was getting impatient all over again.
She really wanted to know how Lumine usually signaled to Kaito that she wanted to do that sort of thing.
Of course, if every single time it was Kaito taking the initiative, then she'd have no interest at all.
After all, men — those who know, know.
"What do you mean 'seducing'? I don't 'seduce' him!"
Not having expected Miko to put it that way, Lumine retorted.
"All right, all right, Lumine — you don't seduce him, so hurry up and tell me already." Nodding her head, Miko continued urging Lumine to share what she had just told Mobius.
"It was just... like that..."
Hounded by Miko until she had no choice, Lumine reluctantly recounted the method she had just told Mobius about.
"Whoa, that's just naked seduction." Never having imagined that Lumine — beneath her habitually bashful exterior — was hiding this much, Miko couldn't help but exclaim.
"What 'naked'! That... that isn't seduction, okay? And besides, I've never actually done it that way."
"Right, right, right — Lumine, you've never done it that way." Nodding her head again, Miko looked for all the world as though she didn't believe a single word Lumine was saying.
