Author: ユキオ (Yukio)
“Ikegawa Hayato-kun. My friends told me to go out with you as a punishment game, is that okay? …”
In an empty classroom after school, I got a confession from the most beautiful girl in our class, Saeki Chihiro, as a punishment game.
To be honest, I was expecting a serious confession, but the reality isn’t so sweet to me.
“Well, there’s no reason to refuse, so that’s fine.”
I once read a novel in which a confession in a punishment game turned into a real love affair.
So, if there was even the slightest hope, a man would bet on it.
“Thank you. I knew you would agree.”
“And for how long?”
That’s the question.
It’ll probably be a week or two…
“10 years.”
“…yeah?”
Did I mishear her?
No, she said in a clear tone.
If my ears are right…
“So, the duration is 10 years.”
Yes, I heard right, 10 years.
“… too long, isn’t it?”
“Really? I think it’s a common period.”
“I think it’s rare for real lovers to be together for 10 years. And you, Saeki-san, wouldn’t want to pretend to go out with me until you’re 25 or 26, would you?”
“I have no choice, it’s a punishment. If I don’t do it right, my friends will get mad at me. I might get you in a little trouble, I’m sorry.”
What does she mean by a little trouble? I mean, it’s a decade of my life.
“So let’s go home together.”
Saeki-san holds my hand in a lover’s embrace and starts walking, and I follow behind her as if being dragged along.
The game is to see how close I can get to Saeki-san during this punishment game…
But, anyway, there seems to be enough time.
Then we arrived in front of my house.
“So this is your house? I’m sure I’ll be coming here a lot for the next 10 years, so I should say hello to your family.”
“Ah, I don’t think my mom is home yet. But, do you want to come over?”
“Yeah. Can you take me to your room?”
As soon as she entered my room, Saeki-san immediately searched under the bed and through the history on my computer.
“Saeki-san, what are you doing?”
“Checking to see if there is anything naughty? Oh my, this site is …”
Saeki-san seems to have found an adult site that I had bookmarked.
“I’ll delete it. You don’t need it anymore.”
Ah, it was deleted.
“You aren’t allowed to see or do these things for the next 10 years. Oh, and no friendships with girls other than me, okay?”
“Um… we’re dating for a punishment game, right?”
“Yes, so?”
“Do you have to go that far? …”
Anyway, it’s confirmed that I won’t be able to get s🬀🬀ual treatment and a girlfriend for 10 years.
“Of course, we’re dating, even if it’s just a punishment game.”
With that, Saeki-san sat down on the bed next to me.
“...kiss …”
She, who is usually cool, mumbled this while fidgeting.
“What? …”
“I want to kiss Ikegawa-kun… or rather, I have to.”
“It’s a punishment …?”
“… Yes. We’re in a relationship, so of course we have to kiss.”
Do you really want to go that far for a punishment game?
No, this doesn’t seem like a normal punishment game, the punishment at the beginning is 10 years, that’s beyond logic.
Is Saeki-san really … me?
“Okay… But if you really don’t like it, let me know.”
“Yes …”
Then I kissed Saeki-san’s thin lips.
“Oh … nnnn… nnnn…”
Saeki-san’s body is shaking, but she puts her hands around my head and tries not to let go.
I put my arm around her back.
Her body is slim but very soft.
Her long black hair is touching my hand.
Her face covers my entire field of vision.
Her sweet, melting scent fills my mouth.
I felt as if I could sense her feelings for me…
“Nn…Ah…puhaaa…”
Saeki-san finally took her face away and looked at me while turning bright red.
“Yo… you have to do it every … day for the next 10 years, okay?”
She whispered that to me…
Then mom came home and I decided to introduce Saeki-san to her.
“What? … Could it be Chi-chan? Long time no see! You’re back again.”
“What? Do you know her, Mom?”
“She is Chihiro. She used to live on our block until about 10 years ago. I mean, you used to play with her, too.”
“Ah, I kinda remember …”
A girl who used to come to our house to play with me about 10 years ago.
But she was a girl who had moved far away and I had completely forgotten her name and face.
I had no idea it was Saeki-san.
“Hey, Hayato, will you be my boyfriend?”
“Yeah, sure.”
Come to think of it, that kind of exchange we had?
So Saeki-san remembers it all the time and does this …?
“Haha, I never thought that you two would really be lovers.”
“No, no, Auntie! I’m only going out with Ikegawa-kun today for 10 years… as a punishment game! I’ll be faithful to your son for that short time, so please take care of me!”
Mom looks surprised for a moment but smiles immediately.
“I see. Hayato, you also have to play Chihiro-chan’s punishment game to the end, okay?”
“… I know.”
Then I go to the station with Saeki-san.
“Hey, Saeki-san, I completely forgot what happened 10 years ago. Sorry.”
“It’s okay, … If you love me from now on …”
“Yeah, I know. …”
“Well, this is a punishment! We have to do it like real lovers! So do it seriously, okay?”
“Of course, or Saeki-san’s friends will get mad at you.”
“Right. Well then…nn…”
Saeki-san looks at me and meditates.
I kiss her lips again.
“Nnnnnn… ah…”
She hugs me tighter than before.
Then a long kiss, as if she was sorry to say goodbye.
“Nn…a…hah…hah…I thought I was going to die. …”
“It was so long I couldn’t breathe.”
“Sorry, I didn’t mean it, I was … too happy … ah! Oh no! This is a punishment, I don’t really want this!”
“Yes, I know.”
Saeki-san corrects herself, upset as hell.
Her gestures are so cute.
“Today is the first day, so two kisses are fine, but … tomorrow we will kiss at least 10 times a day… so prepare …”
“This is tough, but I guess it can’t be helped if it’s a punishment.”
“Yeah… so again best wishes for the next 10 years …?”
Daily life with Saeki-san from the next day.
We meet and go to school together.
Saeki-san made lunch for me.
On holidays, we went on dates and so on.
Of course, I never missed kissing her more than 10 times a day.
Every time she did something to me, she said she had no choice because it was a punishment.
I was so in love with her.
“Hey Ikegawa-kun, don’t you think 10 years would fly by if we had such fun days?”
My room, a month after the punishment game.
Lying on the bed, Saeki-san hugged me and whispered such words to me.
“Yes, so let’s make a lot of memories in this short time. I’ll love Saeki-san for about 100 years in these 10 years.”
“Then I’ll love you for a thousand years.”
“I can’t compete with Saeki-san after all.”
“No wonder. It was decided in the punishment game that I will love you more than you love me.”
“n…chu…”
And then Saeki-san kissed me for the first time for today. I can’t even remember how many times, and the time just flew by.
10 years later.
Exactly 10 years have passed since that punishment game confession.
I am now 26 years old, a high school teacher at my alma mater, and I have busy days.
Today, I finished work and went home to my apartment.
“I’m home!”
Responding to my voice, she greeted me at the door again today.
“Welcome home, Hayato. Dinner is ready.”
“I’m home, Chihiro. Thanks for everything.”
It seems that Chihiro decided to live with me as a punishment, and the two of us have been living together ever since.
She is also busy as a kindergarten teacher, but she supports me devotedly every day.
“Yes, we’re dating, so it’s natural for me to cook our meals. But before that …”
“I know, I know.”
I gently hug Chihiro and kiss her, something I haven’t missed in 10 years.
“Nn… an… nn… hah…”
Even after 10 years, Chihiro still has the same voice when kissing.
It’s really adorable.
Then we eat dinner together and relax on the sofa.
“Hey Hayato… actually I didn’t prepare a gift for our anniversary this year…”
Chihiro has a gift for me every year on our anniversary.
So I give Chihiro a gift every year.
“I see, well, I had a feeling that was the case.”
Chihiro held my hand.
Her eyes are slightly teary.
“I can’t celebrate such a day because today the punishment game will be over … and Hayato and I will no longer be lovers …”
Her hands tremble a little.
“I moved away right after Hayato and I first became lovers… so when I came back as a high school student 10 years later and met Hayato again, I was so happy,… I wanted to make up for the 10 years of empty time I had with you. I wanted to get those 10 years back. …”
“That’s why you said 10 years.”
“Yeah…I really wanted to go out with you normally, but I thought that if I didn’t enforce … the punishment game, Hayato would dump me… …and I heard that first love never comes true. …”
Chihiro really is a lovely girlfriend.
“So, you know, everything I said about punishment is a lie. … I was never forced to, it’s all my true feelings. …”
To be honest, I’ve noticed that since day one.
“But that ends today… what do you want to do now, Hayato…?”
Chihiro looks at me with big, wet eyes.
“Yes … let’s not be lovers anymore…”
“Oh … yeah, that’s right … I’ve been pissing you off for 10 years … Higg … I’m sorry … for going along with my selfishness …”
“How about a relationship where we stop being lovers and just call ourselves fiancés from now on?”
“… what?”
I take something out of my pocket with the other hand of the one that wasn’t connected to Chihiro.
“This is …”
“… engagement ring. I prepared it as a gift for our 10th anniversary…”
“What? Are you sure, it’s …?”
“Yes, it’s not punishing or anything. My true feelings. Chihiro, let’s get married. The duration is forever, but that’s okay, right?”
“Yes …! Of course, it’s okay. … Of course, it’s good. …!”
I put the ring on Chihiro’s white ring finger, which had stopped trembling.
“In these 10 years, I’ve never once thought of Chihiro as a nuisance. In fact, I’ve been so happy that 10 years seem like a blink of an eye.”
“I also loved you so much that I could dedicate … my whole life to Hayato, and that will never, ever change. … !”
From now on, I want to love and be loved by Chihiro more than ever in the limited time we have.
And I want to live happy days together, or rather as a family.
“N… nn…”
I put my lips on Chihiro’s.
I felt that Chihiro was expressing the same feelings as I was.
