What, Failure to Transition!? Volume 3 Chapter 4 (Patreon)

Chapter 4 – Motomiya Karin 2

“Good morning, Yoichi.”

“Yawn……mmm……morning……”

The next morning――though it was almost noon.

Discovering there was little food in the refrigerator, Karin went to a nearby convenience store and bought a sandwich and a liter pack of coffee milk. Then, just as Yoichi woke up, she put the sandwich in the toaster and the coffee milk in the microwave to heat them up.

“Fufu……you’re sleeping like a dead man. You’re really tired, aren’t you?”

“Mm……well……that said, how about you, Karin?”

“I can’t say I’m not tired, but I guess I’m used to it? After all, this is my daily life now. All I need is a good night’s sleep, and I’m already as good as new.”

“I see……Thanks for the food.”

After this meal that could already pass for lunch, the two spent the rest of the afternoon in their room, but Yoichi’s yawning began to increase as evening approached.

“Yoichi, are you working tonight?”

“Yawn……well, yeah……”

“I see. Better get some sleep then.”

“Come to think of it, I am still sleepy. I guess one more nap will do……”

“Ahaha. No, seriously, though. Get some good rest. You’ve been yawning all day.”

“I see. Sorry about that.”

“Fufufu. Don’t mention it. After all, it’s a night shift, so you can’t help it. Well, I guess I’ll go home now.”

“Sorry for not being around with you more.”

“Like I said, don’t mind it. Actually, I had fun.”

After this, Yoichi waited until Karin finished getting ready, then walked her to the door.

“Shall I take you to the station?”

“No need. Or rather, shouldn’t you be napping now?”

“Yeah……sorry.”

“Fufu. Yoichi. You’ve been apologizing for a while now.”

“S-Sorry……ah.”

“Ahaha. Then. See you later.”

“Yeah.”

Karin’s gaze, looking back at him, and Yoichi’s sleepy, slightly vacant gaze, peeking through the gap in the front door, blended for a moment, and soon the door closed with a rude metallic sound.

It’s been about ten years since that time.

They never saw each other again. There was no sudden loss of communication.

They kept in touch with each other, but the frequency gradually decreased and eventually ceased.

“Ms. Motomiya, I’m sorry, but when will you switch to a smartphone?”

“Oh, is it inconvenient now to use a cell phone?”

“That’s right. This may sound rude, but it is only you who still has to send e-mails every time.”

“Haha…… Can’t go against the flow of the times, can we?”

With the rapid spread of smartphones, social networking services for private communication are becoming the norm.

This being the case, Karin is urged by her colleagues to change her cell phone model.

Considering her line of job, it would be cheaper for her to sign a new phone plan, but for some reason, Karin didn’t change her phone number or e-mail address and just decided to change the phone model instead.

“I think it’s about time I organize my contacts.”

This was because Karin was told that the data in her phone book could still be transferred directly to her smartphone.

While at it, she decided to use this chance to organize her contacts a little.

There are many people she had met in college but hadn’t kept in touch with since graduation, so she thought it wouldn’t be a problem if she were to delete those now.

As she was crisply deleting her contacts, her hand stopped at a certain name.

――Todou Yoichi.

Around this time, it had been about five years since she had last seen him.

(……I hope he’s doing well.)

Neither of them said goodbye to the other, but they just stopped contacting each other before they realized it.

She wondered if she should try to contact him again or delete it.

After a while of hesitation, she decided not to contact him but left the number as it was.

After that, every time she changed the model of her smartphone several times, Karin would go through the same process again, but in the end, she never deleted Yoichi’s contact information nor made a call to him.

〇●〇●

Karin is now in her mid-twenties, but she knows that her life is already fulfilling. She had steadily built up her career as a rising star among her peers, and her income has increased accordingly.

The loan for the condominium in the downtown district that she had bought with the momentum of her promotion to the head office is almost paid off after her repeated early repayments.

Last but not least, she now has a good amount of savings, so it is safe to say that she has little to worry about in the future.

Even so, from time to time, she would feel an inexplicable sense of emptiness at the sight of her colleagues and juniors leaving the company.

“Phew……”

Sighing for no particular reason in the living room of her apartment, which is a bit large for a woman to live alone, Karin lightly shook the empty beer can in her hand and threw it into the trash can, which is already half full of empty cans.

Since she started working at the head office, Karin had become unable to sleep without the help of alcohol.

“Now then……another day, another go.”

After finishing her work, Karin went to a small restaurant nearby.

She went there almost every day that she had already become one of their regulars.

Ever since she lived on her own, she felt empty cooking just for herself, and since she was earning enough money to eat out every day, she ate outside almost every day except for breakfast.

As for why she only ate breakfast at home, it is because she doesn’t like not being able to brush her teeth after eating. She will usually eat something simple like toast, ham, eggs, a ready-made salad, or just granola bars if she’s too lazy.

“Oh, welcome. Is it the usual today?”

As she rattled open the door of the small restaurant, the proprietress called out to her.

The “usual” she referred to is a daily menu item called “Today’s Recommendation”.

“Yes, please. And a beer for the time being.”

“Of course, Ma’am.”

Karin, who had no particular likes or dislikes, could be satisfied with anything on the restaurant’s menu, so her usual pattern is to start with the recommended dishes and drink beer with them.

After that, she would order what she wanted to eat according to her mood that day and enjoy her meal with a bottle of sake.

(……?)

Karin felt a little disappointed that the seat she usually sat in was occupied, but she didn’t show it and instead decided to take the seat next to it.

“Excuse me.”

She said a few words to the man sitting in her usual seat and pulled out the chair beside him.

It bothered her a little that the man stared at her for a bit, but she sat down in the chair anyways.

“Phew……hmm”

As she wiped her hands on a warm hand towel, she suddenly realized that the man next to her looked familiar.

“……Yoichi!?”

Before she could remember who it was, her heart pounded. The name spilled out naturally from Karin’s mouth as she looked at the customer next to her again.

“Hm?”

With a slightly paused reply, the customer next to her turned to look at Karin again.

“I knew it……it certainly is you, Yoichi!”

“O-oh, okay……?”

Although feeling a little frustrated by Yoichi’s weak reaction, Karin was happy to be able to talk to him, and from there, they discussed their current situations.

When she heard that Yoichi had recently been in an accident, she felt a tightness in her chest and a chill run down her spine.

“Ahh, I knew it……I’m still, with Yoichi……”

“Hey, do you have plans after this?”

“No, not at all.”

“Then let’s have another drink at my place.”

After feeling sobered from her work stress, she invited him to her room.

Karin is prepared to give up if he were to refuse her here, but Yoichi agreed, although he looked a bit confused.

“……It’s fine. Come.”

“But……”

Somehow, it naturally happened.

Yoichi, who had not prepared a condom, was still bewildered, but Karin convinced him regardless.

“It’s fine. Today……is also safe……”

“But……”

“Please……I want it……”

Karin had raw sex with Yoichi twice before, but he was asleep on both occasions, so it was natural that he didn’t remember anything.

At that moment, she wished that Yoichi would accept her as she is. By his own will.

“Are you ready?”

“Yes.”

Yoichi guided his member, which is now not wrapped in anything, towards her special place. And just like that, he penetrated her bare.

The sensation she hadn’t experienced in almost ten years, she felt it once again.

“Nnngh……higgghhh ……nnn…..”

Karin screamed in unexpected pain when the rod was thrust into the spot she had forgotten to comfort since she started to focus on her work.

“Karin……?”

“Sorry, it’s been a while since I’ve……so……”

“Does it hurt?”

“Honestly, un. But just a little……”

It was not at the level of “just a little painful”, but the pain made Karin feel as if she had been able to give her virginity to Yoichi for the second time, which made her very happy.

〇●〇●

“Ms. Motomiya, you’re looking really blooming lately.”

“Really?”

“Did you change your cosmetics? Oh, maybe a beauty treatment?”

“Hahaha. It’s not like that…”

Ever since the day she met Yoichi for the first time in almost ten years, Karin had been aware that her health had been improving.

It was often pointed out to her by her colleagues in this way.

She hadn’t been aware that she was in bad shape until then, but when she looked back, she realized that she must have overworked herself a lot.

(Could Yoichi be the cause of this? ……Nope. No way.)

When she was visiting a town in the south on a business trip, Karin bought some things she was asked to purchase and some souvenirs for her clients, but when she checked up the items again, she discovered that she ended up with one extra mentaiko.

(Hmm. Let’s give this to Yoichi. I’m sure he’ll be fine with it.)

Karin picked up her smartphone, which she had replaced a couple of times, and pulled up Yoichi’s number from her phonebook.

(Oops! I should have asked for his number when I met him the other day…….)

Although she kept his contact information, she was no longer sure if he was still using it, especially nowadays where many people would change their contact numbers entirely when they change models, as their plans are cheaper.

But it couldn’t be helped that there are many cases where people would change their phone numbers altogether because people can now keep in touch with each other through social networking sites. Not to mention, they find MNP unnecessary and costly and usually have a lot of hassles.[1]

(Please, please don’t change your number……!)

Praying so, Karin called Yoichi.

[……ah, hello?]

From the voice on the phone, she couldn’t tell if it was Yoichi or not.

It has been ten years since she had called him, after all.

“Uhm, excuse me. Is this Todou Yoichi’s phone number?”

[……what are you getting so formal about?]

“Ah, Yoichi!? Thank goodness, the number hasn’t changed.”

Karin let out a sigh of relief.

[Well, yeah.]

“But in this day and age, isn’t it unusual to not change your phone number for over ten years?”

[I could say the same to you.]

“Eh? Right, we’re the same……”

――They are the same.

Though it was only “the fact that they had not changed their phone numbers throughout the years”, Karin already thought something different when she heard that line.

She calmed her heart down and assessed the situation thoroughly.

When the call connected, Yoichi immediately knew that the person on the other end of the line was her, unlike her, who was unsure at first if the voice was really Yoichi.

Even though it has been so long.

Even though it has been almost ten years since they last made a call.

In other words, Yoichi had also left Karin’s contact information in his phonebook and hadn’t forgotten her voice, which made her very happy.

[And, what is it?]

“Ah, yeah. You see, Yoichi, you’re okay with spicy food, right?”

[I guess. What’s up?]

“Nothing much. I’m on a business trip in the south, so I thought I’d buy a mentaiko as a souvenir.”

Of course, the part that she is still thinking of buying the mentaiko was not true. In truth, she has already bought it due to a mistake in quantity, but she didn’t need to tell Yoichi that.

[Mentaiko? Wait, where were you again?]

After that, Karin was so happy when she found out that Yoichi was currently in the same town as her that her body almost jumped out of her skin.

〇●〇●

“Hey, Ms. Motomiya, did something good happen to you these days?”

“Huh? Why?”

“Because you’ve been smirking for a while now.”

“N-No, I haven’t!”

Suddenly, her colleagues told Karin this out of the blue.

However, she couldn’t deny it either, as Karin kept on remembering the affair they had in the southern town, and she was aware that her mouth had unknowingly relaxed from time to time since then.

She was so happy to have met Yoichi by chance that day in that town and that she invited him to her hotel room, where they got very wild.

In the past, Yoichi would go limp once he came once, and if he wasn’t in a good state, he wouldn’t even recover for the entire night.

But at that time……he wasn’t like that at all. And it gave her so much happiness that she would reminisce it every time.

“I mean, really, Ms. Motomiya, what exactly happened to you? It feels like you became younger by several years.”

“Oh, yeah?”

She was aware of this, though she tried to play it off.

When she had first met Yoichi, she wondered if she was feeling better only because their relationship was still there.

But after meeting Yoichi in the southern town, Karin started to notice that her skin had improved in tone and luster, she was becoming less tired, and her appetite had increased.

No matter how much she ate, she showed no signs of gaining weight, and more importantly, she could now sleep well without alcohol.

“If you’ve found a good beauty salon or something, I’d really like it if you confess it now.”

“No, it’s not like that.”

“What is it, then? Isn’t it strange that you are feeling so young and vibrant when nothing is going on?”

“It’s not like that, you know……I just met my ex-boyfriend again…….”

“What the hell! So it’s that, huh! Go explode, you normie!”

“What was that all of a sudden……”

“Shut up! Explode, traitor!”

“But isn’t it wonderful?”

A junior female employee suddenly interrupted.

“I really like the “you” of these days, you know? It’s like you’ve gotten more mellow and calmer, or something.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, I guess so?”

“I see! So that’s how it is! You did it with your ex-boyfriend on your business trip a while back!”

“Eehhh!? (What the hell, this girl is sharp!).”

“Sigh……I thought of Ms. Motomiya as my only comrade, but to think even the “Impeccable Maiden of the Iron Fortress” is finally getting married……”

“Yep, I fully agree.”

“No-no-no. Marriage is still a bit too……far. Hmm?” Karin was flustered for a moment, then all of a sudden, her eyebrows twitched up.

“Hey. What do you mean by “Impeccable Maiden of the Iron Fortress”? Hmm?”

“ “Ah.” ”

“You guys…… Have you been calling me that behind my back?”

“Kyaaa!”

“S-sorry. I got some urgent work to do.”

“Hey, you guys!”

Realizing that they said something they shouldn’t, the girls immediately ran away like rabbits, avoiding the topic entirely.

Seeing that she couldn’t do anything anymore, Karin slumped back in her seat with a sigh.

“Still, marriage, huh……”

However, when she heard that word, she felt that her heart, which had been feeling so full lately, had suddenly become empty.

〇●〇●

Was it because she felt there was not much difference in Yoichi’s feelings for this “Misato” he had talked to her and his feelings for her?

As Misato suddenly left him, Yoichi felt a sense of loss, making his heart lean towards her for the moment, but that didn’t mean that his feelings for Karin had diminished.

Karin thought of this, and to put this to the test, she took Yoichi’s lips back.

“If you don’t like it, just tell me…… Then, I can go home and pretend that all of this never happened.”

Perhaps it was just an urge brought by excessive self-thinking that he was feeling that way, but at that time, all Karin wanted was to comfort Yoichi, who was being depressed in front of her.

With Yoichi at her mercy, Karin took off only her skirt and underwear, then after wetting her precious area with her own hands, she accepted his rod raw.

They made a loving kiss, gently wrapping around each other like a child being nursed.

“Mmmm, mmmm……hum, lemm, chup……”

Then, as their tongues slowly intertwined, Karin moved their hips in a caressing motion on Yoichi.

They continued their slow communion without increasing their pace. Soon after, a torrent of pleasure penetrated her entire body.

Karin took in everything Yoichi spat out that day, her body stiffening from the seemingly never-ending climax.

“Send me your new address……or not. Well, I’m okay with either way. I don’t want to disturb you after all.”

Karin parted with those words, and she left Yoichi’s room.

〇●〇●

“Odd. Even after all that, I didn’t feel jealous at all.”

Karin found out that Yoichi had been having an affair with another woman and the fact he had fallen in love with her for real.

At the time, she thought it was because she felt pity for Yoichi’s condition that she didn’t feel any jealousy, but even after a few days had passed, she still hadn’t felt anything at all.

On the contrary, when Yoichi sent her a short message with the address of his new place, she felt honestly happy, as this is evidence that he hasn’t forgotten about her.

(Oh, I guess I should have called first, huh?)

Because she was given a huge time allowance for her upcoming business trip, Karin still had time on her hands, so she used this chance to visit Yoichi’s new home.

“Let’s see……2, 5, 0, 3……”

After dialing the number of Yoichi’s unit, she rang the intercom at the entrance.

[……Yes?]

“Oh, Yoichi? It’s me, Karin.”

[Yes. What’s up?]

From the tone of his voice, Karin sensed that Yoichi felt inconvenient about the situation, so she tried to back down at first, but in the end, she was stopped by Yoichi and was even ushered into the room.   

“Come on in”

“Un……Also, s-sorry for the sudden visit.”

“No, you came at a good timing, really.”

“Good timing……?”

“Oh, no, it’s nothing. Come, let’s go in.”

“Yeah. Sorry to bother you again……–!!!”

The moment she entered the room, the air suddenly changed.

(……It smells like sex.)

Karin almost wavered when she identified the smell, but she managed to bring herself up to only raise an eyebrow to the man.

“……By the way, it’s a beautiful room. Are you sure you’re okay with the rent?”

Considering he had moved into a very expensive room, she tried to talk about it to divert her thoughts, but the smell kept bothering her that she couldn’t concentrate on the conversation.

It was all the more when she noticed that Yoichi’s eyes would roll in the direction of the door of what she thought would be the bedroom from time to time, so she couldn’t help but suspect that there was another woman in there.

(If so, it would be wrong to disturb them further.)

Karin hurriedly tried to leave, but Yoichi stopped her, and after explaining to her his situation in a deliberately-hiding-something-way, he sent her to the bedroom.

“……so beautiful.”

Karin discovered that the stench that filled the bedroom was nothing compared to the one in the living room, but when she saw the woman lying on the bed, she had forgotten everything she had to say.

Her silvery hair is straight and silky. Her skin, which seemed to be translucent white normally, is a little reddish from being exposed to the sun. Lastly, the perfectly balanced shape of her face.

Even though she is of the same sex as her, Karin felt that the woman was so beautiful that she thought she could even stare at her for hours.

And she was entrusted with the care of such a woman.

“Sigh.”

Karin peeled back the quilt to reveal a naked body that was nothing short of breathtaking as her face.

Her skin, oozing with sweat, was almost translucent white.

Her breasts were much larger than Karin’s, but they were well-shaped, and her slightly outward-facing nipples were of a beautiful cherry color.

Her waist was also curvy, her belly was well-muscled but still had their feminine softness, and the pubic hair between her legs was as silvery as the hair on her head.

The pubes were already wet and moist at that time, but even she could imagine it being soft and fluffy under normal circumstances.

Not to mention her plump thighs and long, slender legs……

“With her being this perfect, even I wouldn’t feel envy anymore……”

Karin proceeded to wipe off the limbs of such a “perfect” woman with a bath towel.

“Hyuuu!”

“ah, sorry.”

But when the towel touched the nipple, the woman’s body shivered with a scream-like gasp.

Karin noticed that the silver-haired woman’s arms and legs were unresponsive for some reason, but her torso is still able to respond to the slightest stimulus and would shiver frequently.

“I wonder if it’s the drugs. You poor thing……”

Although she knew that there was a deeper reason for this considering Yoichi’s dubious explanations on the woman, for now, she concentrated on taking care of her without question.

“Wow. She’s literally oozing……”

After thoroughly wiping off the sweat from her upper body, Karin began to wipe her lower body, eventually reaching her private parts.

The woman’s body trembled violently every time the towel rubbed the wetted membranes.

“Aah ahhh! Aaaaahhh!”

“Kyaaa! W-what the hell, that surprised me……”

These interactions went on and on. Finally, after several times wiping off her love juices, the woman’s private area spurted out a powerful stream of liquid.

“Whew. That was exhausting……”

After realizing that the other party had climaxed, Karin refrained from touching her private parts anymore.

She just let the love juices flow out.

“I think we’re good now……”

Karin wiped her body next. Then she put her hand on Miss Silver Hair’s back and helped her get up a little.

Then, she reached for a PET bottle of sports drink, which she had already opened, to her patient’s mouth.

“Drink up.”

She said as she tipped the bottle. However, the liquid electrolytes were wasted as they just lazily overflowed from the edge of the woman’s unconscious lips.

“Ah. Can’t help it then……mmmh……mmgh.”

Karin drank the sports drink and then locked lips with the woman and poured the liquid directly into her mouth instead.

“Gulp……gulp……”

It was only then that the woman began to slurp and swallow the sports drink in her throat.

“Puhaaaa! Haaa……haaa…… We’re both women, so it doesn’t count, right……?”

After she said this to no one in particular, Karin gave the woman a couple of sips of the sports drink again, this time in the bottle.

Perhaps the mouth-to-mouth served as the jump starter, the woman began to gulp the sports drinks on her own.

After emptying the 500mL bottle, Karin laid her body down on the bed and covered her with the sheets.

“Phew……Ahh, this is bad……”

But soon as she finished her work, Karin felt dizzy.

Her cheeks became flushed, her breathing was erratic, and her eyes were somewhat vacant.

‘Maybe it was because of the smell……”

Unknown if it was because she had just taken care of a perfectly attractive woman or the lustful smell that filled the bedroom had influenced her, Karin felt an inexplicable tingle in her lower abdomen.

Maybe because of that, the moment she left the bedroom to take a breather, she hungrily sought Yoichi, who was at that time, waiting on the sofa with a hard-on in his pants.

This process would repeat every time she went out and back to the bedroom to take a breather, and she would intertwine with Yoichi wildly, again and again, each time.

She did this until she passed out that night.

〇●〇●

Perhaps the first time she felt that something was wrong was when she met Yoichi in the southern town.

In truth, their first meeting at the small restaurant was when the change exactly occurred, but Karin disregarded this notion as she was not in the right state of mind at that time. After all, she had not met Yoichi for so long that she believed that her excitement had overtaken her will.

She felt a little disturbed but still didn’t think it was abnormal.

However, this became a concern after they met in that southern town.

After that time, her physical condition began to improve greatly. It was to the degree that could not be explained by a mere change in the state of mind alone. The difference was so much that you could even say that she became young again.

The decisive moment came the other day when she visited his new home.

“I had never seen such a beautiful woman in my life……”

At that time, she only thought that the smell had impaired her judgment somewhat.

But a few days later, after some deep thoughts and realizations, she concluded that the beauty of that woman was extremely out of this world.

She was the most perfect-looking woman she had ever seen in her life. Not even those on TV, movies, or magazines would compare to her.

“Besides, silver hair like that doesn’t happen naturally.”

With today’s advanced hair and makeup technology, it may be possible to recreate that level of silver hair, but she could only think it was her natural hair color after seeing and touching it for a night.

But the most determining factor is in her pubic hair.

Above all, no one would color even that area so meticulously.

“Yoichi is the same……”

That night, she and Yoichi went and had sex again and again throughout the night.

He poured so much into her that it overflowed in her vagina, made her drank so much in her mouth that her stomach swelled up, and was even sprayed so much that her whole body was covered in his white stuff.

How many times did he ejaculate that night, or rather, how many dozens of times even? Yet, despite this, Yoichi did not wither away, nor did he show any signs of exhaustion.

“It’s not just Yoichi. I as well……”

That time, Karin was also moving violently, seeking Yoichi as if a woman in thirst.

She straddled Yoichi, thrust her hips hard, stimulated him with her breasts as she rubbed them in her cleavage, and even sucked him into her mouth while bobbing her head up and down.

Even though she had been doing this all night, she went on her business trip the next day as if nothing had happened that night and completed her work without any problems.

In addition to this, when she was showering, Yoichi instantly cleaned Karin’s clothes, which should have been stained with their fluids all over, as if it was treated with magic.

“Yoichi……what the hell is going on with you, exactly?”

The next thing she knew, Karin was already standing in front of Yoichi’s apartment building.

“Oh, right. I have to call him first.”

When she called in advance, she felt the same rejecting feeling from him again, causing her to back down again. But the same as before, she was stopped and was invited to his room again.

“Come in.”

“Pardon the intrusion~.”

The moment she entered the room, she couldn’t help but sniff the place once more.

(There it is again, that naughty smell……)

But before she could react to the smell, she was stunned to see that a person was already there, as if they had been waiting for her to come.

It was the silver-haired beauty she took good care of that day.
