《The Ultimate Romantic Comedy In Which The Yan-mamas Absolutely Win!》


 Chapter 1

    Chapter 01: It just happened


    Incidents can happen anytime, anywhere.


    Just as he happened to lose his father, who was a firefighter on a rescue mission to save people from a burning building. He saved every single one of them but unfortunately at the cost of his very own life.


    Now, Kenichi Kudo, his fathers only son, was watching a similar scene as a part of a high-rise building was engulfed in flames.


    After school, he left the house to go for a jog after finishing his homework, and stumbled upon an accident.


    The firefighters hadnt shown up yet, so it probably wasnt that long after the fire started.


    Somebody help! Theres someone inside!


    A woman pointed to a corner of a burning building and shouted.


    The people gathered in front of the building, young and old, men and women, but just stood there in a daze and looked at this horrific scene.


    If so, then


    If Kenichi had been born in a normal household, he wouldve probably just called 119 and asked them to come quickly.


    But he was his fathers proud son.


    He remembered what his father always used to say.


    Listen, Kenichi! All people are precious without exception. So, if there is someone who needs help, you should help that person. But remember this, you must never become arrogant because of the fact that you helped them. Do you understand? Now lets train our muscles to build up the strength to help others!


    Thats right.


    Just as his father was for him, Kenichi was also proud of his father. He was really a good man.


    He loved him as he loved his mother.


    They made a happy family together.


    And to carry on his legacy, he decided to stay true to his fathers belief.


    While thinking so, and after taking a glance at the moon, looking at his father, who was now in heaven, he closed his eyes.


    ~Just watch me. Dad!


    He opened his eyes and ran into the building, which was on fire.


    People around him were surprised to see him, but no one stopped him.


    He rushed upstairs, and soon reached the place which was on fire.


    It was a restaurant, the ceiling had collapsed and the entrance was blocked.


    If there were people in there, their chances of survival were very slim.


    He thought so, but his fine macho, well-built body and his eyes were burning hotter than the fire in front of him. When he confessed his love to a girl he liked and was rejected, he wanted to give up on his entire life, but at times like this, he is a high school boy who does not know how to give up.


    Im gonna make it home alive to my mom


    So he said,


    And rammed the blocked door!


    As the door broke down, he saw the scene inside.


    There stood a beautiful woman in a dress.


    She looked despair-stricken, but as soon as she saw Kenichi, her eyes filled up with tears like someone who had found hope.


    She had long black hair, a pair of fine eyes, eyes that were more magenta than red, more beautiful than any gemstone. The woman in front of him is so beautiful that if you arent careful, you will most likely fall in love with her.


    And most importantly


    There was a mature atmosphere emanating from the two huge, all-encompassing soft meats that seem to be so huge as to be bombastic.


    It seems she was in her mid-twenties just from the looks of it.


    Anyway, she was classy and beautiful enough to confuse Kenichi, who came to her rescue.


    But Kenichi shook his head to get rid of his evil thoughts and spoke to her.


    Im here to help. Come this way quickly.


    The hand that was held out to her, on that hand and arm, she could see the wound that was made earlier when he rammed open the door, blood was coming out of it


    She believed she could save herself if she went to him, but apparently her body didnt move the way she wanted it to.


    Kenichi tilted his head at her, thinking her reaction to not moving slightly was odd.


    I am so strained I cant move my body


    She said.


    The fire inside the restaurant was getting closer to them every second. If they stood like this for much longer, there was a chance that the walls would collapse again and they would both be completely trapped.


    So Kenichi immediately sprang into action.


    He came up to her and bent down to give her a piggyback ride.


    Come! Ill make sure youre safe!


    Huh!


    She was overwhelmed by Kenichis seriousness.


    A face that simply conveys a strong will to protect others.


    Clear eyes that show no ulterior motives.


    Shed never seen him, not even a man like him before.


    Then her stomach reacted. [TLN- Here this sentence has the same meaning as feeling hungry]


    She blushed and nodded, surrendering her entire body to Kenichi.


    She put her arms around his neck, her huge b*****s and stomach snuggled against his broad back.


    And Kenichis arm, still dripping with fresh blood, was holding her thighs, and his strong hands were firmly gripping her buttocks.


    Youd better hold me tight.


    !! Yes please.


    Saying that, Kenichi started running at a tremendous speed.


    There are only three thoughts in Kenichis mind at this moment.


    To save this person.


    To keep his promise to his father.


    To return home to his Mom safely.


    With this intense feeling in his heart, Kenichi pulled her tightly to his back and dashed forward.


    As they descended the stairs to the entrance, Kenichi set her down slowly.


    Can you walk?


    When asked, she patted her chest in relief as she heard peoples voices coming from near the entrance of the building, and moved her beautiful white legs which was stretching out from her dress.


    Uhh, it works


    Thank God!


    !!


    She giggles and fidgets with her lower body when she sees his profile, wiping the sweat from his hands and smiling.


    The benefactor who saved her life.


    He was a bit juvenile, but the actions he just displayed were more admirable, braver, and so much cooler than any man could have been.


    So she had to thank him.


    Thats what she thought, and she tried to open her mouth, but


    Well, take care now!


    Eh?


    Please go home safely! Goodbye!


    Wait-wait! A minute!


    He smiled gently at her, then turned on his heel and started running.


    He moved away from her without a moments hesitation.


    She was taken aback by his grace.


    But


    Eventually, she pulled her mouth into a tight line and caught his back with her beautiful magenta eyes.


    Haah


    She exhaled colorfully and looked wistful.


    As he was gone.


    [Postscript]


    Hello, everyone!


    Its new work!


    Ill be presenting my fantasies soon, so stay tuned!

 Chapter 2

    Chapter 02: Magenta Eyes


    My name is Kenichi Kudo.


    When I was in junior high school, my father, who was a firefighter, died and since then its been just me and my mother alone.


    Ken-chan! Its morning. Wake up.


    Y-yeah.


    Its been a day since I saved the beautiful lady at that fire scene I hold my right arm down as I think about yesterdays events.


    It was a wound inflicted in exchange for saving a beautiful woman.


    Yesterday I managed to cover it up by doing my own first aid so that my mom wouldnt find it. I dont know when shell find out about this wound but she will.


    Well, I dont think itll leave a big scar, but momll be worried, so Im still here


    Ken-chan! Wake up!


    You scared me! If youre going in, knock!


    I did, but you didnt respond.


    Apparently, I was so concerned about yesterday that I couldnt even hear my mom knocking on the door.


    My body has a lot of basic heat, so I sleep in short sleeves.


    And my bandaged arm was exposed as a matter of course


    Ara? What happened to your right arm?


    Have I been exposed too soon?


    I told her why over breakfast that she made for me.


    Un I know exactly how Ken-chan feels. And I think you did well becausehewas like that too. But


    She turned her face down with a sad expression. Of course, I understand why shes reacting this way.


    So I gave my mom a thumbs up and spoke in a confident tone to calm her down.


    Mom! Im not going to die before you! Well, if Im really in danger, Ill just run away or give up and come back to you!


    Seriously, Ken-chan, you


    She sighed in relief when she saw me smiling brightly.


    Youll have to live a long life even if Im dead! You see, life is full of wonderful things!


    Then Ill have to build up a lot of energy. Another serving!


    Fufu, youre a good eater, just like your father.


    Smiling, Mom took the rice bowl from me and served me an extra bowl of rice.


    I ate breakfast and left the house to head to school.


    Mom works a part time job, but she cooks breakfast every morning. Dad, who lost his life saving many people, is treated as a martyr and received a medal from the government and an additional pension. That, plus moms salary, is what keeps the Kudo familys economy afloat.


    I took a look at our detached house and moved on my way to school.


    X X X


    Yo! Kenichi! Ive been waiting for you!


    You couldve gone ahead.


    Dont be so shy, were in the same class, so its fine!


    Waiting for me at the front gate was, of course, my male friend. I dont have any girlfriends.


    Hes a guy named Yuto, and weve been friends since my father, a firefighter who died, saved his family. Hes savvy and a better communicator than I am.


    I sighed shortly as I walked along with Yuto, still basking in the afterglow of yesterdays events.


    Why do you look so down?


    Let me guess.


    Hmm?


    Yuto then spoke confidently with a smug look on his face.


    Kenichi, you sighed because you havent been able to get a girlfriend, right?


    Girlfriend?


    My mouth was half open as he was off the mark, he still continued,


    Because, Kenichi, youve been leering at Uchida-san in class all the time.


    No! Thats not it! I wasnt looking!


    Seeing my puzzled reaction, Yuto turned his eyes to me and says,


    Be honest with me, hihihi.


    Yuto was provoking me in a playful way. I wasnt annoyed at all, since I knew him well enough to know that was his character.


    I patted my chest and opened my mouth, relieved that he didnt ask me and know about yesterday.


    Thats because Im now in the same class as the girl I confessed to a year ago, so Im conscious of her. Which is normal


    As he scratched the back of his hair, Yuto spun his words with a slightly apologetic expression on his face.


    Well, it was Kenichis first confession. You mustve been pretty depressed back then?


    I had fallen so low that I spent the nights crying, under futon saying, Im going to be a virgin for the rest of my life.


    Hahaha


    Smiling bitterly, Yuto patted me on the back.


    Whats that?


    Dont be so down.


    Uchida-san turned down all the boys confessions, not just Kenichis. Rumor has it that she doesnt have a boyfriend yet, and I dont think she turned you down because she had hard feelings for you, Kenichi.


    I see.


    Im sure of it!


    If you ask me, thats true.


    If she liked a guy, she would have gone out with him long ago.


    Well, whatever it is, its already the past. Theres no point in rehashing it now.


    So I went to the entrance and I heard a lot of noise around me.


    Look, its Uchida-san!


    Oh, man, shes so cute.


    I heard she crushed one of the guys last week, too.


    Shes a picture-perfect, pure and beautiful girl, isnt she?


    The face is one thing, but the body is way beyond the JK level


    The one who appeared along the boys disgusting conversation was,


    Rino Uchida.


    She has long, silky black hair and pretty eyes. Small face. I felt that the fact that she had slanted eyes made her even cuter.


    Its a spring uniform, so theres not a lot of skin showing, but it doesnt cover all of her amazing body.


    Despite the blazer she wears, the bulge around her chest is a statement of her presence, and her slender waist and long ivory-colored legs are the target of admiration by boys and envy by girls.


    And the most memorable part was,


    Dark magenta eyes with hints of pink and red.


    Come to think of it, the beautiful lady I saved yesterday had the same color of eyes as her.


    It brought back memories of yesterdays events at the restaurant.


    She was so pretty


    Kenichi.


    Hmm?


    Do you still like Uchida-san?


    No, wait, thats not it!


    Fufu.


    Yuto smiled gently and looked up at the blue sky.


    And then he said in a whisper.


    Im sure Kenichi will find someone good in time.


    Well, this is what you call flattery.


    Nothing to worry about.


    Though hes such a nice guy.


    I was a bit embarrassed so I opened my mouth to change the subject.


    Anyway, hows your little sister Yuri-chan doing?


    Ah, shes as energetic as ever. Lets play together sometime. Yuri likes playing with Kenichi.


    Oh, I like that.


    We proceeded to talk about such trivial things.


    Uchida-san, along with a few of her female friends, went inside the entrance and was no longer visible.


    TLN- The schedule is not decided yet, so will probably release a chapter like in every 3~ days.

 Chapter 3

    Chapter 03: The thing she is writing about is


    In-class.


    I was reminiscing as I looked at Uchida-sans back as she diligently took her class.


    Listen to me! Kenichi! To get a beautiful woman, youve got to hit on her with your passion! Because thats how I was able to marry your mom too!


    O-ou!


    If youve understood, youve got to train! Come here! When you get to high school, youre gonna have a beautiful girlfriend. Thats what were training for!


    Eh? wai-wait! Dad!


    Come to think of it, dad and mom have been dating since high school.


    Old man used to tell me about various things


    Like, how to make a high school debut? And my mom too said,


    Ken-chan, youre in high school now, you should get a girlfriend or two!


    B-but


    Dont worry about me! Find your happiness, Kenichi! Thats what makes me happy!


    When I first saw Uchida-san, she really was my very ideal type.


    Of course, her eye-catching good looks were part of what made me fall in love with her.


    Shes soft-spoken, kind, and mature to all. Above all,


    Herenchantingfigure


    So fragile.


    It inspired me so much that I wanted to protect her.


    Though,


    I was rejected as a matter of course.


    Oh well, its a waste of time to think about whats done now, nothing good will come by digging up black history.


    Lets just hope she will not have that sad or frail look anymore after she meets the man of her dreams.


    Welp Im probably not the man of her dreams, at least.


    And as I was listening to the class with a slight smirk on my face, Uchida-san in the seat in front of me suddenly turned around and our eyes met.


    I looked away quickly.


    Again with that frail expression.


    Well, Im thin and macho, but my face looks a bit old and I dont talk much, so Im sure Im not Uchida-sans type.


    Thats what I tell myself and I concentrate on my studies.


    Have to do muscle training again today, just like my dad taught me.


    X X X


    A room in a certain tower apartment


    The woman who was saved by Kenichi,wasin her room, tapping on her laptop.


    Haah haah this at this rate


    She lets out a seductive exhale, heat rising from her upturned face, and her reddish magenta eyes are gradually losing their luster.


    Elyse-sama! Please! On my back!


    There is no ulterior motive in the eyes of Alex, the young knight who protects her, and his brown eyes are as clear as they can be. The Duchesse de Elyse, who had injured her leg, entrusted her body to him. Elyse, who had been lonely since her husbands death, saw his warm, serious face and imagined all kinds of unsaid things


    I cant believe I can write this fast


    The womans fingers are busy as she says this.


    Lets look at the contents again.


    Knight Alex gutsyly holds Duchess Elyses thighs to prevent her from falling. Because his hand was too muscular, Elyses lower body convulsed. To which Alex quickly sensed that change.


    Elyse-sama, is something wrong?


    No! Its nothing. Just get me to the villa quickly. Obey my orders!


    Elyse-sama.


    W-what is it?


    I think Elyse-samas lower body is very hot, if I may ask, are you thinking of something that cant be said?


    !!


    [Alex, who just a moment ago had an innocent look on his face, is now gloating.]


    !!!!


    She stopped abruptly, twitching her bottom half as well. Then she looked at the dress hanging on the dresser.


    Every time she sees this dress, her mood gets lifted. That dress had red blood marks on the bottom


    It was from the man who had saved her yesterday.


    Just remembering him, she felt a stirring of dusky emotions that had been dormant for years.


    She was in plain clothes, and after a long sigh, she brought her right hand to her bombastic marshmallow.(E/N: Nice.)


    She thought of him as her hands sank.


    At first glance, he seemed to be an ordinary man.


    But he was a young man who was quite physically fit and the type of man you can count on.


    And when he was carrying her on his back, she felt his broad back, wide arms, and strong fingers.


    He grabbed her thighs with those fingers, the thighs which she had never let anyone touch except for her late husband, without hesitation.


    And then he left without saying a word for himself.


    Its just too sad and unbearable to think about it


    Come. Ill make sure youre safe!


    Words that pierced her heart with accuracy.


    She put this gushing emotion into writing again.


    She has a bookshelf full of books around her, and most of them,


    Were the novelsof her fantasies.


    There were also trophies and certificates and things like that on the top of the study.


    [The 40th Dengeki ME Bunko Novel Contest, Sensual Novel Category, Gold Prize Winner Ganko Sensei]


    [The 35th Kadokaze Bunko Sensual Novel Contest Grand Prize Winner in the Womens Category Ganko Sensei]


    Surrounded by countless trophies and certificates honoring her achievements, Ganko Sensei.


    She was at the mercy of her shame that she couldnt even say Thank you to the man who saved her, and this hot and sordid feeling brought by the wonderful action he showed her


    Which is why she was turning these emotions into a novel.


    After a few hours of writing and doing various things, she heard a noise coming from the front door.


    Of course, she knew who it was, and she huffed back to herself from her immersion in the world of writing and managed to calm her still excited stomach and headed for the door.


    Welcome back, Rino


    Mom Im home.


    Rino Uchida.


    The beautiful girl who refused Kenichis confession.


    Was in shock as she looked at her mothers face.


    She was confused because she smelled the pheromones of her own mother, which were so strong.


    Though Rino knew it well.


    That her mother, Ayane Uchida, was working.


    But today was different. As her mother


    Way more than ever


    Was exuding with adult charm.


    [Postscript]


    Its gonna be more and more interesting.


    TLN- So stay tuned.

 Chapter 4

    Chapter 04: Mother and Daughter Are So Close


    Im sorry, Rino. Mom was too focused on work to prepare dinner


    Its fine. Mom is doing a lot of hard work.


    Ill make you something good next time. If theres anything you want, just let me know.


    Okay, got it.


    After putting her bag down in her room and changing into her loungewear, Rino spoke in front of the fancy bento she had ordered from Nanchara Eats.


    Itadakimasu!


    Eat a lot!


    With that, this pair of mother and daughter with magenta eyes begin to eat.


    No matter how you look at it, they look like two beautiful sisters. Thats how beautiful Ayane, aka Ganko-sensei is, but at the same time having a childlike face.


    After finishing their meal, they are relaxing at the dining table drinking Japanese tea and sweets that they bought yesterday.


    Normally, just watching two beautiful women, each with the face of an actress, drinking tea would be soothing, but Rino has a complicated expression on her face as she looks at her mother.


    Ayane, a successful author of sensual novels, is quick to detect changes in her daughter and she moves her glossy pink lips.


    Rino, did something happen?


    N-nothing in particular!


    Really?


    Really!


    You get along with your friends, dont you?


    Uh-yeah! Im doing fine! Hehe.


    Ayane already knows that her daughter is trying to cover it up with a fake smile.


    Her daughter is always looking out for herself.


    When her daughter, Rino, graduated from elementary school, her husband died and she began writing sensual novels to drown her sorrows. She is a very beautiful woman, and if she wanted to, she could even use her beauty to get another rich man and live off her womanly pleasures.


    In fact, despite having a child, countless men have already approached her, but Ayane has turned them all down and as you can see, her talent as a writer of sensual novels has blossomed and she and her daughter are enjoying a financially secure life in this tower apartment that her late husband left her.


    Ayane used to be a literary girl all her life, and she is not the kind of woman who had relationships with many men. Thats why Ayane has never known any man other than her late husband. Therefore, her novels, which she has created with her accumulated desires, have to be enthusiastically supported by her literary talent.


    Then Kenichi showed up.


    As a daughter, Rino has understood her mothers situation to some extent and has always taken care of her since she became interested in such things when she was in junior high school.


    Shes a single mother and a writer of sensual novels, so at home she often appears disheveled like she just did earlier.


    This is why Rino has never brought any of her friends over to her house, and when she does talk to them about it, she puts up a wall and doesnt let them step into her world.


    Especially if its a man.


    But Rino has never once resented her mother.


    Her father, the mainstay of the family, had died. She had read in an article that poverty is a widespread problem among single-mother families these days.


    But thanks to her mothers hard work, she is able to live an unencumbered life. Of course, she cant live a luxurious life, but Rino respects her mother.


    Please let this peace be continue.


    But Rino knows.


    Sometimes after peace comes a decided emptiness.


    This emptiness that she never felt when her father was still alive.


    Recently Rino has begun to feel so much pain in her heart that she is even forced to grab her own large b*****s.(E/N: Huh?)


    Seeing Rinos dark expression on her face, Ayane opened her mouth.


    Is there a guy you like, Rino?


    Guy I like?


    Rinos at that age after all, Im curious.


    No, theres none!!


    Waving her hands in the air, Rino of herself in total denial.


    Of course, it might be embarrassing for a child to talk about such things in a normal family, but for Rino, her mother is an adult she can respect and is like the closest so-called female friend she has.


    So Rino did not have that kind of shyness.


    She rather likes this kind of talk.


    Seeing her own daughters reaction, Ayane patted her huge, bombastic b*****s in relief and said,


    If thats the case, what kind of man do you think you would like?


    Rino was asked again.


    After closing her eyes, she folded her arms and pondered.


    Its a question she has been asked several times before and even when her father was still alive.


    In that case, she only responded with something like, Just like my father! or Prince Charming!.


    But shes now


    Id rather have someone who could protect me


    Rino said shyly, Ayane said in a gentle tone as she stroked her daughters head to calm her down.


    Id love the same. Someone like him


    Ohh The same type of person I like? Mom Im kind of happy about that.


    Fufu. Me too.


    Rino exhaled a short breath of relief and buried her face in her mothers chest to be spoiled. Then, Rino slid up to Ayanes face, and the four giant marshmallows played a concerto.


    Ayane smiled and spoiled her daughter, as she loved her so much.


    They both live with a lot of dilemmas, but they still love and cherish one another.


    They are really good friends.


    After enjoying some time together, Ayane gets up, returns to her room, and prepares to go out.


    Perhaps Rino was wondering why, so she asked her mother, who was dressed in a long skirt for going out and a brightly colored knit, just as she was putting on her shoes at the front door.


    Do you have an appointment?


    No. I just need to freshen up before I start writing.


    Do you want me to come with you?


    Its okay. Rinos got a test coming up, right?


    Yeah, right.


    Fufu. Then, Im off.


    Be careful!


    Rino smiled and waved, before Ayane opened the front door and left the house.


    X X X


    [Kenichis Side]


    Im off then!


    Oh! Dont forget the soy sauce when you come!


    Got it!


    I said that as I put on my jersey and jogging shoes then left the house.


    As Ive said before, my dad was a big athlete so he trained me a lot when I was little.


    Well, it was really hard at the time, but


    Now that Im like this, a thin macho guy, Im actually grateful to my dad.


    Its a precious body given to me by my parents.


    Keeping it in good condition is also an act of filial piety.


    So I jog every day after I eat my dinner and finish my homework.


    Games, manga and anime are great after dinner, but I recommend you to move your body like me once in a while.


    The quality of your life will improve dramatically.


    I giggle and move my legs, wondering who the h**l Im talking to.


    I went past the park near my house,


    To the front of station,


    Sightseeing the greenery along the railway,


    To the shopping district,


    Then to the downtown,


    There I saw the building where that fire incident happened.


    Normally, when I see a familiar sight, I wouldnt feel anything, but today, the day after the incident, my feelings are different from usual.


    A few people suffered minor injuries. Zero fatalities.


    Of course, Im sincerely glad there was minimal damage. But,


    This feeling of being distracted was not brought about by that alone.


    The cause of this pounding.


    I doubt that well ever see each other again.


    She was in a fancy dress.


    She might have come a long way to attend some kind of ceremony or something yesterday.


    Thats what I told myself, and just as I was about to go home


    Eh?


    I-its you the one who helped me yesterday


    I was wrong.


    Because the beautiful woman of yesterday was standing right in front of me.


    [Postscript]


    The fun is about to start.

 Chapter 5

    Chapter 05: Passionate Feelings Give Birth to Lies


    Id be lying if I said I had no ulterior motives at all.


    Thats why I ran away.


    I was afraid to have the attitude of examining and rehashing the fact that I had saved the life of this too beautiful woman and trying to demand something in return.


    If it were a young child or a boy like Yuto, I would have been able to be friends without feeling guilty about it.


    With these mixed feelings, I opened my mouth.


    W-what a coincidence!


    I knew it!


    With that, the beautiful woman in front of me ran up to me and grabbed my right hand with both of her hands, her magenta eyes then turned watery.


    Thank you so much for everything.


    Her honest expression rendered me speechless the moment I saw it.


    Her porcelain-absorbed white skin and well-defined eyes. And the aura that made her seem receptive told me that she was older than me.


    Id say shes about 25 years old.


    Shes lived longer than I have, so shes more experienced.


    But I got the impression that something was missing from her.


    Though her look itself is too perfect to be impeccable.


    She seems to be similar to the way I felt when I saw Uchida in my class


    Still holding my hand tightly, she apologetically and abruptly moves away from me.


    Im so sorry! I was just so overwhelmed


    No need to apologize Its fine.


    Of course, there was no way that her too soft hands could hurt my lanky ones.


    All thats left on it is the sweat of her hands.


    She kept her head down and her body shaking a little as I moved my fingers and looked ahead.


    It made her even bigger b*****s droop down, pressed against her knit.


    This is too much for ones eyes to take.


    Its really fine! So please raise your head!


    Hearing my plea, she lifted her head and looked at me.


    Um, if you dont mind, could you tell me your name?


    I replied as she asked me that.


    Im Kenichi Kudo. And you


    My name is Ayane Uchida.


    Eh?


    Hmm?


    Uchida?


    Must be different, since there are quite a few people in the world with the surname Uchida.


    There are about four people at my school who use the last name Uchida.


    I care too much just because I confessed to Uchida.


    Ahh, its nothing!


    Is that so?


    Yes!


    Um, Kudo-san, if you dont mind, would you like some tea?


    Tea?


    I needed to buy some soy sauce, but, well, a little bit wont be a problem.


    So we went to a nearby cafe and sat down after ordering. Uchida-san said she would pay for it, but I knew it wasnt right, so I paid mine separately.


    Ive come this far so I cant just run away again like I did yesterday.


    Dad, Im sorry.


    Um, are you feeling alright?


    I started a safe topic. And Uchida-sans face turned slightly red as she answered.


    Im fine, thanks to you.


    Well, good to hear!


    There was something s**y about the way she spoke.


    As I was thinking, she asked,


    What about you, how is your arm?


    Oh, its just a minor injury. Nothing serious!


    Thats wrong. You were bleeding yesterday let me have a look.


    Huh?


    She stood up, leaned over and pointed to my right arm.


    So I laughed ahaha and rolled up my sleeves.


    Seeing my arm wrapped in bandages, she made a sad expression and said.


    As I thought Let me pay for the hospital bill. And the gratuity.


    Its fine! I treated myself properly so it wont leave a scar and it will heal in about a week. I dont care about gratuity or anything like that at all!


    But youre the one who saved me.


    As long as Uchida-san is safe, thats all that matters.


    !!!!!!!!


    I dont know why, but when she heard the words I casually spat out, she suddenly turned her upper body over and sat down in her seat.


    She was fidgeting, I was worried that I had said something wrong, and so I thought about our earlier exchange in my head, but I couldnt think of anything like that.


    Ive never talked to a girl my own age, or even a beautiful older woman like her, so I dont understand Uchida-sans reaction.


    If you break a bone or get seriously injured, its a different case, but, well, just a minor burn, hospital bills, and gratuity money will be too much


    If Uchida-san is concerned about such things, then this encounter today had some significance.


    I mean, this is enough.


    Thats what I thought. I was about to say my goodbyes.


    Kudo-kun, you cant. I still want to repay you.


    !!!!


    The sound of her voice, as if she was sucking my brains out, had me reeling.


    Its as if she knows how I feel when I cant move.


    At the same time, Uchida-san quickly inserted the brown envelope into my jersey pocket.


    It was only for a moment, but the expression on Uchida-sans face was uncanny.


    But for that adult charm.


    I was


    I was just thrilled


    It was a rare experience for a high school student to be completely overwhelmed by an older woman in her mid-twenties or so.


    But strangely, I didnt hate it.


    Rather.


    Its uplifting.


    Ive never felt this emotion before.


    Sitting down, Uchida-san smiled and moved her glossy lips.


    How old are you, Kudo-kun?


    Oh, me


    She asked me how old I was.


    I look like my dad, a little older than the average male high school student.


    After all, when I go jogging, Im at the level where people who solicit strange religions ask me, Youre a college student, arent you?


    Normally Id answer honestly that Im 16 or a sophomore in high school. But,


    Im kind of a demon today.


    Im 21.


    Oh, youre so young Fufu.


    I did something I shouldnt have done the first time I lied about my age.


    I felt like if I told her I was in high school, she probably wouldnt take me seriously.


    At the same time, my fathers words came back to me.


    Listen! Kenichi! To get a beautiful woman, youve got to hit on her with passion! Because thats how I was able to marry your mom!

 Chapter 6

    Chapter 06: Kenichi is Calm


    At home.


    Ken-chan! What happened to the soy sauce?


    Ah, come to think of it. I forgot to buy it.


    Hm.


    Im sorry. But the supermarket isnt closed yet, so Ill go again.


    No problem. Ill get it tomorrow.


    I talked with Uchida-san so much that I forgot about the soy sauce my mother had asked for.


    Ara, Ken-chan.


    What?


    Did something good happen?


    Good thing?


    Because youre grinning so hard.


    Ah! No, no! Its nothing!


    I said and headed to the shower room to wash up.


    I washed my body from top to bottom more cleanly than usual and went into my room.


    Then I got into my futon and tried to remember the exchange I had with Uchida-san.


    Kenichi, are you a university student?


    N-no. Im studying to be a firefighter!


    Ara, a firefighter, I see. You risked your life to save mine, so Im sure youll make a great firefighter.


    Y-yes Thank you!


    Fufu.


    Though I did lie about my age, it is true that Im following in my dads footsteps to become a firefighter, still it was really nice to get praise for that from a beautiful Onee-san.


    Ouu


    The smile she gave me.


    My body shivered slightly.


    Uchida-san, um youre a working person, right? Perhaps, youre a model or even an actress haha.


    I wanted to hit myself for a second, for being so soft-spoken to a beautiful woman.


    But even with my restless way of talking, Uchida-san didnt look at me like a high school girl of today would and say, What do you mean? So gross. Instead, she smiled at me gently and answered my questions without a second thought.


    Im a writer.


    Ohh youre a writer. Thats amazing.


    Writer, huh.


    Uchida-san is a calm woman.


    She must have been a literary girl when she was a child, judging by her mood.


    I dont have a long life experience yet, but the beautiful woman in front of me looks like a rare woman nowadays, a little bit far from the category of ordinary women in the world.


    I didnt ask her what she writes because I was afraid that if she thought I was prying too deep, her impression of me would suffer as well.


    Im honestly not good at playing games between men and women or anything like that, but I did my best to get close to her somehow.


    And as a result.


    Kenichi, can you give me your contact information?


    Eh?


    Its late already, so Id like to talk with you some other time.


    Y-yes! Of course!


    So I got Uchida-sans phone number and LINE account!


    Uoooooooooooooh!!!


    I kicked the futon around.


    When I was rejected by Uchida, not by her, but by Uchida from the same class as me, I was so overcome with grief that I wet the futon with my tears


    And asI was now.


    I was moved to tears.


    Tomorrow is school.


    I should probably get some sleep.


    But before that lets enjoy this thrill and elation for a while longer.


    X X X


    The next day.


    Inside the class.


    Before homeroom.


    Kenichi.


    Hmm?


    Youre grinning too much. Did something good happen to you?


    Ah, no! I dont mean to do it.


    Hmm~


    Following my mother, Yuto, who was sitting in front of me, saw my face and lunged at me. Nevertheless, he smiled at me without questioning me any further.


    Then I saw Rino and her friend talking.


    Rino-chan! They recently opened a new dessert shop, wanna go?


    Ah, the place that sells all that stuff?


    Yes!


    Im free after school, so lets go together then!


    I was sitting in my seat, listening to the exchange between the girls with the corners of my mouth slightly turned up.


    ?


    I tilted my head on the way out.


    Strangely, it was because Itge pain and sense of urgency in my heart that I felt when I looked at her seemed to have disappeared.


    After the class was over and it was after school.


    Kenichi! Im sorry! Ive got some urgent work and cant come home with you today!


    O-okay. You must have something very important to do.


    Its related to my fathers work!


    See you tomorrow.


    Oka- Just remembered! Dad said hes going to buy Kenichi something delicious, so lets talk about that later too!


    OK!


    Then Yuto apologetically clasped his hands together before exiting the classroom in a hurry.


    Im looking forward to it because Yutos dad is quite an interesting guy.


    I moved my legs too, thinking that.


    Uchida was still chatting with her friends and I walked faster to get past them.


    Lets go then!


    Uchida said so and moved her beautiful white legs which were mostly in sight thanks to her rather short skirt.


    I walked without making a sound so that Uchida and the others wouldnt notice me, but my feet got tangled up with hers for her to notice.


    No!


    She falls over.


    Look out!


    I said and quickly grabbed her from behind and held her in my arms.


    Luckily, she didnt bump into anything as she was protected by my arm.


    !!!


    For a moment, her whole body twitched.


    So I immediately let her go and apologize.


    Sorry. Are you hurt?


    No. Im okay.


    Her magenta eyes locked with mine.


    The old me would have been so nervous about the girl who dumped me that I couldnt even talk to her, but now for some reason, Im extremely calm.


    I open my mouth without taking my eyes off her face.


    Ill see you tomorrow.


    !! Uh, yeah See you tomorrow.


    I said, and I moved my feet.


    And left the classroom.


    I was too calm as I walked with light steps to the entrance. Seeing myself like this, I felt I was seeing a different person.


    I couldnt believe how much I have changed since yesterday


    While being puzzled by my change, and trying to figure out what caused it.


    My phone rang.


    So I quickly took it out and checked the screen.


    [Ayane Uchida-san.]


    I opened the LINE app a little excitedly after seeing who it was from.


    [Kudo-kun, when can we meet again?]


    Ouu


    The message sent by the beautiful Onee-san was more than enough to make my heart soar.


    Heart


    Come to think of it, Uchida-sans b*****s are


    What in the world am I thinking


    I said with a sigh, and then moved my feet again, which had stopped before I knew it.


    I lied to Uchida-san and told her I was 21.


    As I said before, I was afraid that if such a quiet and beautiful lady learned that I was a high school student, I would not be taken seriously by her.


    I felt like I was doing something very wrong.


    But,


    Maybe the reason I didnt lose my cool when I held Uchida in my arms from the same class as me is probably related in some way to the fact that I did something wrong to Uchida-san.


    I suddenly had a question in my head that had no basis in fact or context.


    Lies and Truth


    I was freaked out for a second, but then


    I regained my composure.


    And I looked back at myself in the mirror in the hallway.

 Chapter 7

    Chapter 07: And the place were headed to


    Saturday.


    Evening.


    At a Yakiniku restaurant.


    This is so good!


    Fufu, eat lots of food!


    Me and Uchida-san were currently enjoying meat at an expensive-looking yakiniku restaurant.


    A few days ago, after school, I received a message from Uchida-san asking when we could meet.


    Well, Im usually free except when Im hanging out with Yuto, so I chose Saturdays, when my mom gets home late, and thats how I ended up where I am now.


    This is the first time I was invited here by a girl who has a free coupon to use at this restaurant and the food here is soooo good


    Seeing me eating all the meat with satisfaction, Uchida-san put her right hand on the corner of her mouth and smiled at me.


    Her face was a mixture of kindness and sexiness.


    Uchida-san looks quite stylish today.


    Eyeliner is drawn around her magenta eyes, her eyebrows well set, and her two large eyes reflect a clear picture of me.


    She has a pure white skin and an elegant face.


    When it comes to her clothes, she was wearing a knit top and a long skirt underneath, just like last time.


    I could only see the top of her body as were seated, but the two fruits that were too big to fit in my hands, and combined with the elasticity of the knit, were flaunting their presence in all their glory.


    It is probably by no means intentionally shown to me, even so, if you arent careful, your gaze is likely to be drawn to it.


    By the way, as soon as I decided to have dinner with Uchida-san, I went to Uniqlo with my pocket money and bought casual clothes from a magazine without any hesitation and I am now using them to my hearts content.


    My face is a little older than most high school boys my age, so I dont get suspicions from people around me. Well, the boys are a bit of an eyesore as they are gazing at me while admiring Uchidas beauty. Though its understandable.


    Because I also


    No, stop right there!


    Im having meat right now.


    Focus, focus.


    I told myself that as I swallowed the meat. Smiling, I thanked her,


    Thank you!!! I love meat, so Im glad I can eat so much of it


    You appreciate every little thing.


    No! Its nothing trivial at all! Uchida-san!


    Fufu.


    She looks at me with satisfaction, the corners of her mouth lifted up and her neck twisting slightly. Seriously so cute


    You can call me Ayane.


    !!


    And can I call you Kenichi-kun?


    Yea-sure Ayane-san.


    Kenichi-kun, theres plenty of meat here, so eat more.


    Ah, yes. But Ayane-san, you dont eat much.


    She had been watching me eat since a while ago, and I was concerned that she didnt eat much of the meat, so I asked her about it.


    Hm Im on a bit of a diet, so Im holding off


    Dieting, why do you have to lose weight when you already look so beautiful?


    !!


    Hmm?


    Ayane-san suddenly twitched and looked at me. Her gaze was so intense that I froze, forgetting to continue eating.


    Youre right Maybe I should eat a lot today too.


    !!


    Her voice was glamorous, her lips were glossy, and her cheeks were slightly reddish.


    If I had to use one kanji character to describe her now, it would be glamor ().


    The adult atmosphere that high school girls dont have, stimulated my brain and nose.


    There should be no deep meaning in her words. But her expression seems to have a charm that stimulates the imagination.


    She took several pieces of meat that had been browned on the net to her plate and ate them like a s**y predator.


    After a while, I am full and so is she, rubbing her stomach.


    After paying the bill (which is practically free with Ayanes coupon), we walked out and started walking downtown, breathing in the cold air.


    I was happy to dine with a very beautiful woman and walk side by side with her like this.


    Ive never been popular with girls since I was little.


    But now, this face Ive always been so concerned about is doing a good job of making me feel comfortable with her.


    Its true, you never know in life.


    But in terms of flow, its time to say goodbye.


    Im not overcome with despair because theres always next time, but I slowed down to a walking pace since Id like our time together to be longer.


    Ive been fooling Ayane into thinking Im an adult, but Im a high school student. Its not a good idea to wander around the city at night any more.


    As I was thinking this, Ayane, who was walking in front of me, turned around and asked with a smile.


    Can I get you a little drink?


    Huh?


    X X X


    A bar near downtown.


    Fufu. Thank you for coming out with me. The bar I usually go to is nice, but Ive wanted to go here for a long time. With Kenichi-kun, its no problem, so thats great.


    Its fine


    By the way, do you not drink alcohol, Kenichi-kun?


    I was asked that question, and after thinking for a while, I answered.


    For a high school student to drink alcohol is a bit


    Well, Im trying not to drink alcohol for a while, for my health.


    I said, and Ayane-san exhaled and gulped down her own wine.


    Then she loosened her cheeks a little and said.


    Its a fine body you saved me with after all. You have to take good care of it.


    Strangely, listening to Ayanes voice is very calming.


    So I even said things I didnt want to.


    Y-yeah my father was a firefighter, so he used to tell me that. To keep our body healthy so that we could always be ready to help people Well, my dad ended up dying by saving people.


    Ara I didnt know such a thing happened.


    Ayane-san widened her beautiful eyes and half-opened her mouth when she heard what I said.


    Dont worry about it! Its been years! Hahaha!


    I tried to fool her by saying that, but as she was seated beside me and she suddenly grabbed my hand and brought it to her own bombed out chest.


    !! Ayane-san!


    My right hand completely sank between the two extremely soft marshmallows.


    Kenichi-kun.


    Yes!


    Werent you scared?


    What?


    Kenichi-kuns father died by saving people, didnt he?


    Yes


    You werent afraid when you saved me?


    I


    Ayane-sans serious gaze deepened as she further restrained my already out of sight hand.


    Even though she had been drinking, her eyes were sharp, as if to say that she would not let me go.


    I told Ayane how I honestly felt.


    Of course, I was scared, but looking at you now, Im really glad I helped you, Ayane-san


    Yeah a little embarrassing. No, much more embarrassing.


    The way I just spoke, it was awkward, so I hope she doesnt sense Im lying.


    And as I was worried about that.


    !!!!!!!


    She suddenly twitched and looked surprised, Iike she were running on electricity. Thanks to that, people around us looked at me like crazy.


    The office workers in suits were especially staring at me so hard.


    Since, well, my hand, it is still in Ayane-sans chest.


    Seriously, Im about to fly off the handle, so if you could let me go now, that would be great.


    So I looked at her and spoke to her.


    Um Ayane-san, are you alright?


    Uh, yeah. Im fine.


    Good to know.


    !!


    Hmm?


    Now youre getting twitchy again.


    Are you sure youre okay?


    She was drinking quite a lot of wine earlier, guess she must be drunk.


    If thats the case, it would be better to send her home. Ayane-san is a beautiful girl, so Im worried about her being alone, so it would be better for me to go with her to the front of the house.


    I decided that, and took a few deep breaths..


    Kenichi-kun, do you have a girlfriend?


    She asked me a bigger question than I expected, and I replied


    No, I dont have any! None!


    S**t, this way of speaking shows the person is a virgin.


    For the record, Im taking the stance of being an adult, but this reaction might be a bit of a turn off for her. I should have at least given her some leeway and said something like, Theres no one, as of now.


    I was careless.


    Well, shucks.


    Im a high school student


    But


    Ara, is that so? Well, then I guess were in the clear.


    Clear, what?


    Fufu~


    X X X


    LOVE HOTEL.


    So we came here

 Chapter 8

    Chapter 08: The changes brought about by graduating from virginity


    X X X


    Kudo Residence.


    Kenichis room.


    I did it.


    My virginity has been taken away by a beautiful lady.


    I cant believe myself!


    I always thought those things were out of my league.


    It may be a bit of a misnomer, but I thought that this kind of sweet and sour thing was the domain of the Riajuu boys and girls at school, a domain that I could never experience no matter how hard I tried.


    I was new to all of that, so my movements were awkward, but Ayane-san was aware of my feelings and gently took the lead.


    But as we continued further the color in her eyes began to fade.


    As if she was taking off her binding and pouring out her feelings onto me.


    And I was


    Swallowed by her.


    That was not s*x.


    The more I thought about it, I felt it was a hunt.


    The love she poured on me was really heavy and dusky.


    The look she showed me during the act.


    Her gaze was so intense and so overwhelming that it entrapped my whole body.


    Im sorry. Kenichi-kun.


    Its fine


    After the deed was done, she regained her composure and had become the calm woman she had always been.


    The gap was too much for me to take in, so I


    Ah, that The order was reversed, but umm I fell in love with you at first sight So, would you please go out with me?


    A year after Uchida dumped me, I tried to confess my feelings to this beautiful lady.


    But


    Im sorry. Its just


    ?


    It was another traumatic moment for me.


    Yeah.


    I was rejected twice.


    But this time, the chest pain didnt last that long.


    Because Ayane-san, lying naked on the bed,


    Stared in my eyes so hard like digging holes, said,


    But I think we can continue this relationship as long as youre okay with it, Kenichi-kun.


    Her magenta eyes locked to me as if saying she wont let me go.


    I had just lost my virginity to her.


    How could I say no?


    Okay.


    I nodded, hypnotized.


    After having intense seggs with her, I went home and covered myself with a futon, and just breathing in and out hard to soak up the afterglow.


    Luckily, Moms not home yet.


    I did it for real, I cant believe it


    I kicked the futon as hard as I did the last time.


    It took a few minutes for this overheated feeling of mine to settle down.


    Hmm


    I then went into sage mode after the act with Ayane-san.


    Thinking about it, I cant help but wonder if Ive been immature until now.


    After Uchida dumped me, I was truly a no-show.


    I was in despair, saying things like, Ill never have a girlfriend again, and Ill be a virgin for the rest of my life, and all sorts of other pathetic nonsense.


    But


    Me and Ayane-san have what you might call a seggs-friend relationship.


    In other words, the fact that she rejected my confession is not a total denial of my existence, but circumstances.


    I suddenly have such an unfounded thought.


    For a long time, every time I see Uchida in class, my heart aches and my past black history comes back to me. I was obsessed with the fact that I couldnt talk to her well enough and she turned me down.


    However,


    After meeting Ayane-san and talking with her and getting physical with her


    I began to feel like an idiot for worrying about it. I began to feel like a child.


    Im not depressed about being rejected.


    So, Ill


    To the girl who dumped me.


    Ill look at her as a very normal girl. (Though shes a very beautiful girl who is recognized by myself and others at school)


    Anyways, Mom is so late.


    Worried, I called her, but she said she was having a drink with a work colleague, so I slumped down on the bed and slept in peace.


    X X X


    Monday


    School


    Today, as usual, I went to class, had dinner with Yuto, and then after school.


    Everything was going as usual.


    Except for her


    Uchida was looking at me quite oftenduring homeroom and in class. As she was seated in front of me, it was obvious and impossible not to notice.


    There were a few times I wondered if shes looking elsewhere, not at me.Because I dont want to have some silly thoughts about it.


    Anyways after pondering for a while, I decided to leave, and as I was about to leave the classroom with Yuto


    Im sorry Kenichi! Ive got another errand to run


    Again with your fathers work?


    Yeah. Hes a little shorthanded.


    Do you need my help?


    Im good enough on my own. But I might ask you to help me if it gets too hectic


    Okay! Call me anytime then!


    And as I gave him a thumbs-up, Yuto rushed out of the classroom.


    I tried to move my feet, thinking it was time for me to go too, but


    Someone had an urgent matter to attend to as well.


    Apparently, Yuto isnt the only one.


    Rino! Im sorry! I have an emergency! What am I going to do on my day duty?


    The girl (Megumi Yanagisawa), who was one of her two friends, bowed her head and apologized to Uchida.


    Todays day duty is Uchidas and that friendly-looking Yanagisawa.


    There is a strict rule that the day duty must be done by two people, so its not a good idea to do it alone.


    Its alright. If you have something urgent to do, I dont blame you. Umm


    Uchida looked at her other friend, not at Yanagisawa, who looked so relaxed, but at her other friend with narrowed eyes.


    Then the girl said,


    Um, my boyfriends waiting for me at the front gate, but Ill let him know that Im running a little late.


    Uchida looked at the girl and sighed ruefully.


    Im sorry, Minami! By the way, you said the other day that you were going on a date with your boyfriend today, right? Dont worry about me, and go with your boyfriend!


    No, but I


    Minami frowned, a bit troubled.


    Then the boys who were listening to their conversation stood and intervened,


    Oh, Ill do it instead!


    No! Itll be me!


    Me too!


    The boys who usually aim for Uchida come up to her and talk to Yanagisawa, who seems to be friendly. Incidentally, the boys occasionally glanced at Uchidas chest and gave her a lecherous look.


    Eh? Wai-wait


    Yanagisawa and Uchida looked at the boys annoyingly.


    Hey! Your mind is full of shet! Get away from us!


    Minami, with her narrowed eyes, squinted even more and started waving her hands in the air to ward off the boys.


    But the guys never backed down.


    Uchida was puzzled.


    It was not unreasonable.


    Uchida was quite famous among the boys of the school as the most beautiful girl of the school.


    There are many people who try to take advantage of the fact that they are in the same class as her.


    She looked this way and that and sighed in annoyance. I could see the look on her face as she did so.


    Uchida and my eyes.


    It connected.


    It was only for a moment, but her eyes moistened, exposing her frail figure, but then she seemed to realize something and suddenly lowered her head with a dark expression.


    No reason for me to be afraid.


    Theres no ulterior motive, no trauma left, so Im free.


    And it was Ayane-san who gave me this freedom.


    So, I approached them.


    And said,


    Yanagisawa, Ill do it. If Im a bother to Uchida, Ill help you find a girl who can take over for you.


    When I told them, Uchida and her two friends stared at me with their mouths half open with surprised looks on their faces.


    Well, its understandable if they refuse.


    To Uchida, Im probably on the same level as the guys next to me.


    Because I confessed to Uchida, that could make her think so.


    Uchida, who couldnt possibly know how I felt


    Suddenly her cheeks blushed.


    She pointed at me with her index finger, looked away and then said.


    Kudo-kun would you please. It might be helpful if you do the day duty with me


    !!!


    A thud ran through the air.


    Ah, erm Kudo-san Thank you! And, please!


    Yanagisawa, who seemed to be a friendly girl, bowed her head and told me to take care of her friend..


    And Minami the girl with narrowed eyes


    Looked at me.


    With the corners of her mouth rising slightly.


    [TLN- I dont wanna say but Daddy-Kenichi is here to help]

 Chapter 9

    Chapter 09: The two lifted up the corner of their mouths


    Since Uchida had asked me to help her herself, we were now doing the day duty in the classroom together when everyone had gone home.


    I was getting a lot of stares from the guys who were after Uchida, but the narrowed eye girl, Minami, forcefully pushed them away. Honestly, that was a big help.


    I lifted the chairs onto the desk and Uchida started sweeping with a broom and dustpan.


    There was no particular conversation exchanged, as I continued to work in silence.


    In the past, I think I would have reached a super awkward max and started to have ulterior motives like maybe theres a restless dog in me while moping, but my head is so occupied with what happened with Ayane-san that I cant afford to wear out my spirit by dwelling on the past events.


    So, I just do my assigned work in silence.


    But then,


    Uh, um! Kudo-san!


    O-ou!


    You scared the s**t out of me!


    Because of all the things Ive been thinking about, I didnt think Id be called by Uchida at all.


    When I looked in the direction of the voice, Uchida looked at me from a little distance and said, a little embarrassed.


    Kudo-kun seems different these days.


    Im different?


    Uh, yeah


    Have I been any different?


    Its not that I didnt know, but I didnt expect Uchida to tell me that at all.


    I guess so


    Uchida fidgets to my pause.


    Ive learned a lot these past few days, thanks to Ayane-san.


    As a result, I came to understand that my attitude toward Uchida had put pressure on her.


    So I stopped working and thought I should apologize for that.


    Hey, Uchida.


    Yeah?


    My bad.


    Eh? Ha? Why are you apologizing?


    Ive been thinking about it ever since Uchida dumped me a year ago and even though we became sophomores already and were in the same class I think I made it pretty uncomfortable by subconsciously staring at you.


    Eh?


    Uchida widened her eyes, looking surprised, and then started waving her hands.


    No! Thats not true at all! Rather, I should be the one apologizing! I made you feel bad for rejecting the confession!


    Thats not it. In fact, it was I who confessed, without considering your feelings at all. Besides


    As I paused to catch my breath, Uchida looked at me with her clear magenta eyes and urged me to continue.


    Besides?


    Besides, you know, though it was hard for me, there were also some good things that happened! So I thank you for that!


    I replied, smiling and made a cheerful gesture.


    Then,


    !!!


    Her body twitches for some reason.


    I dont know why she reacted that way, but the fact is, Uchida made me realize how immature I was.


    So Ive always wanted to tell her how I feel about that someday, so Im honestly glad it came true so soon.


    Now I feel like Im finally at the starting line.


    Not like Im going to confess my feelings to her again or anything evil of sort, I mean that Im back to a state where I can communicate to her as normal.


    I took a deep breath of relief but found Uchida looking up at me anxiously.


    I can see all of Uchidas body because Im a little far away from her in the distance, and she was


    By good things, you mean you got a girlfriend?


    Ah, no! Theres none at all!


    I-is that so there arent any


    As I denied while shaking my head and waving my hands in the air, looking impatient, Uchida suddenly loosened her complexion and patted her huge and explosive chest in relief.


    I gotta admit, every gesture of hers is just too cute, but I purposely coughed and looked so as not to spoil Uchidas mood before saying.


    Anyways, if you happen to stumble upon any more problems like today, let me know and Ill help you as much as I can.


    Un. Thanks for that


    After that I finished my day duty, quietly organized the chairs and took out the trash.


    And as the teacher confirmed it, we left the school together.


    I got a lot of stares from the guys who were in school for club activities, but well, since I have to go to the supermarket to buy soy sauce as soon as I get out of the main gate, I hope they dont take it the wrong way.


    What are you doing after this, Kudo-kun?


    Me? Well, I could go to the supermarket and buy some soy sauce. Mom asked me to.


    I see. Im sure Kudo-sans mom will be happy because you listen to her!


    Its as usual. Shes a single mother taking good care of me, so I dont want to cause her any trouble. The least I can do.


    !!!


    Uchida stopped walking and looked at me with her eyes wide open.


    The look on her face seemed to contain some confusion and expectation.


    Uchida? Whats wrong?


    I asked her, worried, but she answered somewhat happily.


    A-actually my mom is also a single mother


    Eh?


    Um, yeah but youre the only person I told this to so


    I wont tell anyone. So dont worry about it. Its a little awkward, isnt it? If people know youre a single parent and child


    Right.


    I had assumed that she was from a rather big family from the atmosphere she exudes, but it seems I was mistaken.


    But I feel its wrong for people to give you cold stares just because youre from a fatherless family. [1]


    My dad died saving people.


    And I think that people who dont understand the circumstances and speak ill of single-mother families are shallow-minded people.


    Im sure Uchida has her own reasons as well.


    But I feel like its wrong to pry into that.


    Although we have something in common, that is that both of us are from a single-mother family, Ive no intention to take it as an opportunity to take advantage of her, otherwise I will be no different from the guys we faced earlier.


    So I turned to face the opposite direction from Uchida and raised my hand.


    Im going to the supermarket then. See you tomorrow.


    O-okay! See you tomorrow!


    With that said, I walked away briskly.


    I didnt look back, but I felt her eyes on me.


    I thought about turning around for a second, but my phone rang and I pulled it out.


    It was a LINE message.


    Not to mention the person who sent it.


    [Ayane Uchida.]


    And the corner of my mouth raised up unconditionally.


    X X X


    Rino Uchida.


    The girl kept staring at Kenichis muscular back until he disappeared.


    She was overflowing with emotions that she had been burrowing deep down inside her heart for years.


    She took a few deep breaths, as her eyes went blank.


    And the corners of her mouth,


    Lifted up, the same as Kenichis.


    [Postscript]


    Next time well get to see how cute Rino is, so keep your eyes open.


    TLN


    [1] I think I have seen a video or documentary somewhere before that Japanese people are not that much more favorable towards a single mother than a single father.

 Chapter 10

    Chapter 10: The Two Settled Down


    Rino went straight home after Kenichi left.


    Her mother had something to do so she was gonna come home at night.


    So she went into her room, lay down on the bed, pulled the covers over her and breathed in and out hard.


    To Rino, her mother is the parent who gave birth to her, a friend to whom she can express her true feelings, and a senior figure in her life.


    Putting aside the fact that she writes sensual novels, Rino loves her mother.


    She feels comfortable and secure when her mother is at home.


    But


    Not today.


    She doesnt want her to be at home for at least an hour.


    Because,


    Because of her exchange with Kenichi, his voice has been ringing in her ears for a long time and she cant get rid of it.


    She has had many boys confess their feelings for her and she has turned them all down.


    As its known, theyre a single mother family and her mother is a writer of sensual novels.


    She was afraid of being found out, so she made a wall surrounding her for a long time, and lived.


    To Rino, men are frightening.


    They always look at her b*****s and body and give her lecherous looks.She is envied by the genuinely cheerful Megumi and narrowed-eye girl Minami with whom she hangs out at school, also she often receives unscrupulous glances from theother girls.


    And also, if she turns down their confession, the boys that is.


    Theygive her a very disgusting look.


    Not the ecchi look, but a look given by a criminal who wants to mess up with her body.


    She was scared.


    But she doesnt want to worry her mother, who she loves.


    And it was Kenichi who appeared at that moment.


    The boy she dumped a year ago.


    But that boy


    The words he said to her were enough to numb her head, chest and stomach.


    She was surprised.


    He, just like her, is from a fatherless family. And she was moved by his innocence to tell her that without any hesitation.


    So she told him the secret that she hadnt even told Megumi or Minami yet.


    But he,


    He didnt treat her any differently.


    He simply accepted her as if it were natural.


    Which made her so moved


    Kenichi-kun


    It was a little awkward for them to be in the same class again after his confession.


    But hes changed.


    He became more mature than the boys who approached her, and his eyes werent even after her body.


    And the things he did further grabbed her heart.


    The other day, when she almost tripped over


    He held her so she wouldnt.


    It was strange.


    She wasnt feeling disgusted at all.


    Rather his smell was soothing to her heart.


    She wanted to feel more of his touch.


    His touch was different from the guys from the cafeteria who purposely throw themselves on her when she was on a line, and from the teachers who stumble on her to feel the touch of her b*****s as they pass each other.


    Each time that happens, an unnameable feeling of disgust swirled through her, which made her wonder why all men are nothing but perverts.


    On the surface, she appears smiling, but on the inside, her heart was dark.


    All men must die Theyll are animals who thinks nothing but s*x They should just go die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die Any man who touches my body without permission must die! Go to h**l!


    She muttered as her eyes faded.


    A deadly look.


    But


    Eventually she relaxed her cheeks and started touching her b*****s.


    If you ever got into trouble like today, let me know and Ill help you as much as I can.


    Ahn


    Instead of the look that says, Ill help you, in exchange for your body., it was as if he was saying, Dont be egoistic, youre just an ordinary girl to me., and when she looked into his eyes, her heart ached.


    Why is that? Why does his look and words make her feel this way?


    Her dusky feelings were painted over by his kindness without ulterior motives.


    ~!


    When she saw him walking to the supermarket without hesitation, she thought that she shouldnt have let go of him.


    Honestly, she hated all men.


    Except for her late father, she used to think they were all animals.


    But then again, shell eventually have to marry a disgusting looking guy and have his babies


    But she hated that.


    Shed rather be single for the rest of her life than having s*x with a man to have children.


    She had always thought so.


    Yeah.


    But not anymore.


    Because as of now


    Kenichi Shama~


    She was


    She was full with a desire to be ravaged by him.


    ***


    Afew hours later


    Rino got up from the bed and stared at herself in the mirror.


    She had never seen herself look like this before.


    Her face was completely twisted.


    Her expression was that of a mixture of pleasure and joy, and combined with her fierce magenta eyes, she looked like she was thirsty for something.


    Then the doorbell rang.


    Her mother must have arrived.


    So Rino, after calming down, headed to the front door to greet her dear mother.


    Mom! Welcome back!


    Im home! Oh, Rino! Youre still in your uniform?


    U-un!


    Hmm~


    Ayane gave her daughter a meaningful look.


    But she didnt say anything to pry any further.


    Because.


    Huh? Mom, your legs are shaking, are you okay?


    Fufu, Im fine. I bought Rinos favorite bento, so lets eat it quickly.


    Thanks!


    Rino cant help but smile,


    As she smelled her mothers good smell which calmed her down.


    [Postscript]


    Yeah


    This is a sensual novel.


    E/N: Eh?

 Chapter 11

    Chapter 11: The Gal and the Beautiful Bartender


    Several days later.


    Ive just realized one thing.


    The sexual urges of a high school student who has just discovered a new pleasure is really dangerous. [TLN- Horni Detected]


    And that Ayane-sans love is very heavy.


    Weve hooked up quite often over the last few days, as weve both sought each other out.


    Our relationship started with a lie.


    I wonder if this is how adults are supposed to live.


    Well, in that sense, I guess Im a grown-up now, too.


    I try not to let Mom and Yuto find out, I dont know when they will.


    I dont mind the thrill of it, in fact, it makes me active as it feels so good.


    Since then, Uchida and I have started talking to some extent in class, and the awkwardness between us of the past has disappeared.


    See you tomorrow!


    Ou! Yuto, be careful on your way home.


    I left school with Yuto for the first time in a while and headed home.


    I dont have a meeting with Ayane-san today, so Ill just go straight home and do some muscle training.


    You know, its very important for me to work out.


    Which I learned firsthand after getting involved with Ayane-san.


    As I was walking along,


    I saw a very flashy-looking blond man was pulling the sleeve of a gal in a school uniform.


    Get off me! Youre seriously annoying me!


    Oh-ho-ho, JK-chan! Wanna play with me~? Ill teach you something good~


    Dont you dare touch me, you jerk!


    What did you just say?


    Ugly b*****d, you should know better!


    You stupid betch!


    No, I dont think you have to offend him that much.


    Well, its not unreasonable for that girl.


    The gal, wearing the same school uniform as me, is Yuna Hiragi. Shes in the same year as me, and when she first entered the school, she got a tremendous amount of confessions from the older students, but


    But as you can see, because of her fiery personality, the boys who have been subjected to her verbal abuse are now mentally worn out and dont want to get too close to her.


    This girl is the complete opposite of Uchida.


    As she is rumored to be a Papa-katsu and to be having illicit relationships with college students, businessmen, and married men, and frankly speaking, she is not my type of person.


    I dont care if the rumors are true or not, its just her personality.


    To be honest, her appearance is as good as Uchidas, but I dont really want to be yelled at.


    So I pretended to be unknown, and tried to get through, but


    Dont underestimate me! Just because youre so cute doesnt mean you can get carried away!


    Kyaa!


    Fed up with rage, the jerk shoved Hiragi up against the wall!


    This is a residential area!


    Its a place where not many people pass by, so the people around them purposely take the long way around to avoid getting involved with the two of them.


    Hey, Im going to play a prank on a girl who has a bad taste in her mouth woo hoo hoo.


    Ill report you to the police And you look like that anyway, you are not popular with girls, arent you? Not only are you unattractive, youre a criminal as well, youve really screwed up your life! ahaha


    Yeah, I know. But first Im going to mess you up and itll be you whos life is gonna get screwed up!


    !! What are you crazy? Do you know what youre talking about?


    Haha its all your fault, betch.


    And the jerk, with his eyes full of lust, held Hiragis shoulders with his right hand and tried to grab her ample b*****s with his left hand.


    It was then that


    Hiragis bright blue eyes watered as she found me, who had been hiding and staring at them so far.


    Damn if she looks at me like that.


    And even though Hiragi provoked him, what that man is trying to do is clearly a crime. If there were policemen there, he would be caught red-handed already and sent to jail.


    And also I made a promise to my father, and also with Ayane-san, so I was pretty calm at the moment.


    What the f**k are you doing? You b*stard!


    Huh?


    Seeing me screaming, the frivolous man was surprised and turned around..


    Then I took my phone out of my pocket, held it out, and said in a high voice.


    I recorded all of that! Now get away from Hiragi right now or Im seriously gonna file a case against you.


    What the?


    Now get away from Hiragi and leave. Otherwise, you know what I mean?


    Shet shet-shet-shet-shet!!!! Argghh!!!!


    The man shouted and ran off as fast as he could.


    Of course, I didnt record it.


    I didnt have the resources to do so.


    But


    I lied again just like how I tricked Ayane-san into thinking Im 21..


    I dont have anything against lying.


    Well, if its a bad lie, its a different story, but it doesnt hurt to lie to a potential offender.


    With the jerk gone, Hiragi sat down on the ground as she was. Thanks to this, her panties were completely exposed, but it would be better not to point this out.


    Are you okay?


    I asked her, and Hiragi, who was looking away, started babbling.


    I didnt need your help. I was fine. Mind your own business.


    Hey, you


    Thats your attitude towards the person who just saved you?


    Her face was so beautiful, which made me even more angry.


    Well


    Sure the old me would have been heartbroken.


    As I couldnt believe I was being told bad things by the people I helped.


    My dad, who was a firefighter, was also distressed for a time when the people he rescued ragged on him.


    But


    I was fine.


    Because


    I have Ayane-san with me.


    Oh, yeah. Im sorry. Then, Im off.


    I said plainly and left her without looking at her.


    Huh? Wait? Hey.


    I think I heard something behind me, but I ignore it and go on my way.


    X X X


    [Ayanes hside]


    Evening.


    A certain bar.


    A beautiful woman walks into a bar that is crammed full of expensive looking drinks on display. The male customers around her widened their eyes and looked at her, Ayane-san, as if licking her body.


    Then,


    Ahem!


    A beautiful blonde bartender lady coughed loudly and frowned deliberately. The male customers then scowled and took their eyes off Ayane and started chugging down their drinks.


    After taking a glance at the male customers, Ayane sat down at the counter and smiled at the pretty bartender lady.


    Its been a long time.


    And when Ayane-san said that, that blonde bartender lady also loosened her cheeks and opened her mouth.


    Did something good happen?


    Fufu. Kind of.


    And Ayane, the brunette one, smiled sexily.


    Seeing the look on her face the bartender lady with blue eyes lifted the corners of her mouth and promptly started making cocktails.

 Chapter 12

    Soon, the beautiful bartender lady poured liquor in a glass, put a lemon on top, and served it to Ayane.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    She thanked her, and the bartender lady opened her mouth with a sultry look.


    ¡°So, what¡¯s the good thing, you haven¡¯t come here in a while, is it a man?¡±


    ¡°I wonder.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s with the roundabout way of putting it?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    What an ambiguous attitude.


    Ayane sipped her cocktail in silence and sighed deeply.


    Seeing her like that, the bartender lady tried to probe her for comfort.


    ¡°You have a daughter, don¡¯t you?¡±


    Ayane-san nodded when the bartender lady asked her.


    ¡°Then isn¡¯t it okay? Your husband¡¯s gone.¡±


    ¡°Yes, but¡­¡±


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Ayane wriggled her body.


    The male patrons sitting behind her again gave her dirty looks because she was attractive, but the bartender lady warned them with a glare.


    This is the only bar Ayane goes to.


    She just wants to drink alone, but the men approach her with evil feelings when she goes to some, which disgusts her, but here, this beautiful bartender lady drives all such people away, so she can relax without worrying about her surroundings.


    So she shares her thoughts with this bartender lady about her being a writer of sensual fiction and that her husband had died of an illness (She didn¡¯t tell her her name or any other personal information though).


    In other words, since these two have no vested interest in each other, they can be considered friends in a sense. Although it is a shallow relationship.


    That¡¯s why Ayane decided to say it.


    ¡°There¡¯s been someone I¡¯ve taken a liking to lately.¡±


    ¡°Hou-hou.¡±


    ¡°But he¡¯s a college student¡­¡±


    ¡°What? Seriously?¡±


    For a moment, the bartender lady widened her eyes and stopped polishing the glass. But she didn¡¯t give Ayane-san a disapproving look, rather a curious one, and after gently placing the glass on the shelf, she leaned forward and spoke.


    ¡°How did it happen?¡±


    ¡°¡­ saved me from the fire.¡±


    ¡°Eh? A fire? Did your house burn down?¡±


    ¡°No, it¡¯s not that.¡±


    Ayane briefly summarized the incident and told the bartender lady about it.


    ¡°That¡¯s great! That guy! You love him, right?¡±


    ¡°Uh, yeah¡­¡±


    The beautiful bartender lady complimented her with loose cheeks.


    Essentially, many people would resist the idea of a widow with a high school daughter having a relationship with a man who is quite a bit younger than her.


    But this bartender, Natsuko Hiragi, is different.


    ¡°Good luck with that. You look like you¡¯re in your mid-twenties anyways.¡±


    ¡°Same goes for you, Natsuko-san.¡±


    ¡°Well, that¡¯s why the male customers are so annoying. If I don¡¯t give them a hard time, they come back like flies and I really want to kill them with insecticide. It¡¯s fine if you just want to listen to what I have to say.¡±


    ¡°It proves that Natsuko-san is attractive after all.¡±


    ¡°Hmph~¡±


    Natsuko looked away, unconcerned. But eventually, she made a serious face and started talking to Ayane.


    ¡°Men are just creatures who think only of cheating and s*x. The older they get, the worse they become. That¡¯s why I think it¡¯s a good idea to get a young man and support him. It¡¯s socially acceptable for middle-aged men to marry young women, so why not the other way around? And you¡¯re so beautiful that you could fool even a college kid.¡±


    And Ayane, who was told by Natsuko, nodded and mumbled.


    ¡°I don¡¯t care if it¡¯s the other way around¡­ That¡¯s a good way to put it though. Fufu.¡±


    Natsuko listened with a bitter smile to Ayane¡¯s bewitching expression.


    ¡°You don¡¯t want to give it up, do you?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±


    The face of Ayane, whose cheeks are slightly reddish, stands out for its beauty in combination with the dim lighting unique to the bar.


    Add the smell of pheromones in the air.


    Natsuko notices as soon as she smells her.


    This is,


    She said it¡¯s the smell a woman gives off when she is completely dominated and loved by a man.


    ¡°You¡¯re pretty daring for your looks, aren¡¯t you?¡±


    Ayane only laughed at Natsuko, who giggled and probed.


    But¡­


    The magenta-colored eyes were sharpened like a snake hunting its prey, and Natsuko¡¯s stomach began to heat up as she gazed at her.


    ¡°I want a young man too.¡±


    Natsuko muttered her desire loud enough for only Ayane to hear.


    Then Ayane caught her blue eyes and moved her glossy lips.


    ¡°You can do it too, Natsuko-san. After all, you¡¯re so beautiful.¡±


    ¡°Pfft¡­yes. I think I should try it, too.¡±


    And they look at each other and laugh.


    ¡°Haah¡­ those two are really pretty after all.¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s young and graceful and¡­ totally different from today¡¯s girls, but that¡¯s what¡¯s so great about her.¡±


    ¡°They both must be in their twenties, right?¡±


    ¡°But you¡¯d better stay away from her. That bartender lady is really scary.¡±


    And the men, who couldn¡¯t possibly know what Ayane and Natsuko were talking about, just looked at them from a distance.

 Chapter 13

    [Kenichi¡¯s side]


    At the main gate of the school¡­


    People grow up.


    People are creatures that change because of the unexpected.


    To tell you the truth, even I have changed since I started seeing Ayane-san several times a week and doing things that I shouldn¡¯t be doing.


    In the past, I used to be so happy that I just jumped up and down, but now my relationship with her is becoming the norm for me.


    It¡¯s a given.


    But¡­


    As a high school student, I have a sense of fulfillment and control over the fact that I am able to satisfy such a beautiful woman.


    ¡°There will be many cute girls at the party today!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve got a real betch in you, seriously?¡±


    ¡°How am I going to lose my virginity then, man?¡±


    ¡°Demn, only people who say they¡¯re virgins can¡¯t get over it.¡±


    ¡°How could you¡­ Then how about you?¡±


    ¡°I am, well, I guess a virgin like you can¡¯t understand it¡­¡±


    ¡°H-heey! Don¡¯t you dare look up at me like that!¡±


    A group of fashionista boys were walking around, having such a conversation.


    Some had dyed hair, while others dressed down to give a full-on ¡°playful¡± look.


    ¡°I don¡¯t like that conversation.¡±


    Yuto, who was walking with me, looked at the group of fashionistas and grumbled.


    Well, I know how Yuto feels.


    For high school boys like us who don¡¯t stand out much, it¡¯s natural to get jealous when you hear about it because we don¡¯t have anything to do with this kind of love affair.


    Which is called jealousy, of course.


    ¡°Well, they¡¯re at that age. Why don¡¯t you leave them alone?¡±


    ¡°Ou¡­!¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±


    Yuto gave me a dubious look with his mouth open.


    ¡°No, I just thought Kenichi¡¯s attitude was very mature today.¡±


    ¡°Well, that¡¯s normal, right?¡±


    I said casually, and Yuto looked up at the sky again and muttered,


    ¡°Let¡¯s hope that something good will happen in the near future.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    As I recall, he said the other day, ¡°I think Kenichi will find someone good sooner or later.¡±


    And I met a wonderful person named Ayane-san.


    Who is definitely someone good¡­


    There¡¯s enough good things going on right now.


    And while thinking about it, me and Yuto went into the class.


    ¡°Hi, Kudo-kun! Good morning!¡±


    ¡°Oh, hey. Morning.¡±


    When I entered the class and sat down in my seat, Uchida, who was talking with her two friends (Megumi Yanagisawa, who looks soft and gentle, and Minami Kirishima, who has long narrow eyes), suddenly came towards me and greeted me.


    I¡¯ve never had anyone come directly to my seat like this before. It made all the boys around me stare at me.


    ¡°Oh, um¡­¡±


    ¡°Yeah?¡±


    ¡°I need to talk to you¡­¡±


    A talk. Does that have to be done before class starts? As all sorts of thoughts were going through my mind, someone suddenly entered our conversation.


    ¡°Uhu, Uchida-san! If you want to talk, do it to me!¡±


    ¡°¡±Haa?¡±¡±


    Our conversation was cut short by the sycophant who usually takes aim at Uchida.


    ¡°I¡¯m even funnier than Kudo!¡±


    Said the goody-two-shoes, waving his hand in a buzzing motion.


    Well, well¡­ I¡¯m certainly not a very interesting person, but to suddenly interrupt me is annoying.


    I¡¯m sure that before Uchida dumped me, I would have cursed this guy, but now I¡¯m perfectly calm.


    If the person I was talking to was Yuto instead of Uchida, I would have had the same feelings as I do now.


    ¡°No, no¡­ I have an errand to run for Kudo-kun¡­¡±


    ¡°Well, then! You¡¯re gonna have to mix it up with me too!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­¡±


    Uchida looked from side to side in trouble.


    Yeah¡­ might be a little awkward.


    I looked at other boys¡¯ with a face that clearly said, ¡°What the h**l is this guy doing?¡±


    The chime rang to announce class.


    And at the same time, the teacher walked in.


    ¡°Now get back to your seat!¡±


    The boys and girls in the class hurried back to their respective seats at the sound of the loud voice.


    And¡­


    ¡°!¡±


    I was surprised.


    Uchida stared at the back of the goody two shoe boy as if she were looking at radioactive waste.


    I honestly got goosebumps.


    I can¡¯t believe that such a kind, soft-spoken, beautiful girl could give off such a stare¡­


    The sharp look from her cold, magenta eyes was uncanny.


    But soon her expression changed and she went back to her usual mood, and Uchida returned to her seat.


    X X X


    After school.


    Today as usual, Yuto left school early to help his father with his work.


    So I slowly put away my class notes and stuff and then got up. But


    Uchida approached me again.


    ¡°Kudo-kun!¡±


    ¡°Oh, yeah¡­¡±


    Now that most of the people have left, there¡¯s not much to see around.


    ¡°If you have time, can we talk? Maybe at a caf¨¦?¡±


    ¡°Hm¡­ Is there something important you need to tell me?¡±


    ¡°Not really, but, um¡­ Kudo-kun and I seem to be on the same wavelength, so I wanted to talk to you¡­¡±


    Uchida was restless, squirming.


    Her soft black hair is swaying, pure white skin and neat eyes. And the body which harmonizes well with the explosive breast and it.


    Yeah.


    She sure is pretty.


    Her two friends over there (Yanagisawa and Kirishima) were giving me a meaningful look.


    The old me would have been jumping for joy.


    But¡­


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I have some plans today.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°See you tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Kudo-kun?¡±


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    I stopped and turned around when a bewildered voice called my name.


    ¡°Your mom asking for you again?¡±


    ¡°No. Not today.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    I turned on my heel and walked straight out of the classroom.


    The stares of Yanagisawa and Kirishima hurt me, but I let them pass and walk down the corridor at a quick pace.


    Plan.


    Welp,  it¡¯s today¡¯s actually a date with Ayane-san.


    I promised to have a drink with Ayane-san at the bar she usually goes to.


    Of course I drink the ones without alcohol in them, though the drunk Ayane-san, is so cool.


    As I lifted the corner of my mouth, thinking, I saw Yuna Hiragi, whom I had just saved the other day.


    ¡°Oh.¡±


    And when Hiragi saw me, she stopped and stared at me.


    She¡¯s the kind of woman who s***s on you even though you saved her.


    Well, let¡¯s just stay away from her as much as possible.


    That¡¯s what I thought, and I tried to walk through the hallway without slowing down.


    But


    ¡°You.¡±


    ¡°?¡±


    She called me.


    That¡¯s why I stopped my feet without turning around.


    ¡°Come with me for a while. You¡¯re not busy anyway, are you?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m busy. Don¡¯t judge me.¡±


    ¡°Haa!¡±


    And I head for the elevator door, faster than before.


    I think it¡¯s better to say this,.


    I¡¯ve to go home early, help Mom with her chores, then do some muscle training, finish my homework, and let Ayane heal me?


    Yeah.


    It¡¯s a very comprehensive plan.


    X X X


    Evening.


    In front of the bar.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Kenichi-kun¡­ I¡¯m not in a good shape¡­¡±


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve been working too hard on my story, and it¡¯s driving me crazy¡­¡±


    ¡°Ah, I didn¡¯t know that¡­¡±


    ¡°I wanted to see you¡­ but I thought of Kenichi and I was making too much progress¡­ and I should have restrained myself.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m fine. Ayane-san-san¡¯s health is more important. Please take a good rest.¡±


    ¡°Thanks¡­¡±


    ¡°Later.¡±


    And I hung up.


    Well, there are days like this.


    Rather, it¡¯s worked too well up to now.


    I mean, am I being used as material for Ayane-san¡¯s novel?


    Yeah¡­ I¡¯ll ask her what kind of novel she¡¯s writing when she¡¯s healthy.


    I hope it¡¯s not some kind of voice-over lovemaking thing. Oh no. I¡¯m a little scared to listen to it.


    And just as I was about to leave the bar,


    ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate me! Just because you¡¯re so cute doesn¡¯t mean you get carried away!¡±


    Yeah¡­


    I¡¯ve heard that line before.


    I definitely heard it from that bar.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take a picture properly this time.¡±


    I took out my phone, opened my camera app, pressed a button, and stepped into this bar where the meeting was to take place.


    [Postscript]


    Maybe a star or a heart would be nice.

 Chapter 14

    As I suspected, the very same playboy who was trying to intimidate Yuna Hiragi earlier was glaring at the pretty bartender lady, who appeared to be in her early 20s.


    ¡°Why can¡¯t I have a drink here? You¡¯re discriminating against me! Aan?¡±


    He kept hitting on the counter to his annoyance.


    ¡°This place is mainly for women who don¡¯t like flirtatious pick-up jerks like you, so I¡¯m telling you to leave.¡±


    ¡°Flirtatious pick-up jerk? How dare you, betch!¡±


    ¡°Watch your mouth, you scum! Do you want to die so soon! Or were you hitting on me, Aan?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s with that attitude? You¡¯re nothing but a woman! You think you can beat me!¡±


    As the beautiful bartender lady yelled at him, the man freaked out for a moment.


    But still, seriously, that bartender lady is scary¡­ Intimidating, and the atmosphere, it¡¯s not normal.


    She¡¯s as good as an actress when it comes to looks, but she¡¯s too feisty and I should probably keep a distance from her.


    Though before that I have to help her first.


    No matter how strong she looks, basically a woman can¡¯t beat a man.


    Besides,


    I live with my mother.


    It bugs me when I see people who treat women disrespectfully.


    As I was thinking this, the bartender squints her blue eyes and says provocatively.


    ¡°You¡¯re ugly, and you should know your place. You¡¯re the kind of loser who goes around picking up girls on the street in front of train stations, only to have them all turn you down.¡±


    ¡°Y-you¡­ fak.. fak¡­ you. I want to f**k an S-class beauty too!!!¡±


    The man went into a rage and reached for the bartender lady¡¯s ample b*****s. His fingers were moving in a disgusting motion and were about to reach those bombshell b*****s.


    ¡°Huh!¡±


    But to their confusion,


    I gripped the man¡¯s wrist tightly and restrained him.


    ¡°Hey, you. Looks like you really want to go to jail?¡±


    Huh¡­


    Because of the bickering I¡¯ve seen between these two, I¡¯m starting to sound like a yakuza.


    ¡°Wha! You¡¯re¡­¡±


    The man moves his head and looks up at me. I continue with a calm face.


    ¡°Just get out of here. You¡¯re disturbing other customers.¡±


    I said and put all the strength I can into the hand that¡¯s holding his wrist.


    ¡°Fak, fak, you¡­¡±


    ¡°Leave.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°I told you to leave.¡±


    ¡°Oh, s**t¡­ Fak! Get the fak off me!¡±


    As he tried to unhand me, my hand still kept capturing his wrist.


    ¡°Say, you¡¯ll leave.¡±


    ¡°Ah! I get it! But in exchange, don¡¯t call the cops!¡±


    I saw him in tears as he said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± and I maturely let go of his hand.


    Then¡­


    ¡°You idiot! You think I¡¯m going to listen to you! Ha-ha!¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    The jerk pushed me away and leaned over to squeeze the beautiful bartender lady¡¯s b*****s.


    ¡°Hahaa! I can¡¯t believe I get to touch such a beautiful woman¡­ with a face that¡¯s actress class and a body that¡¯s¡­ just perfect.¡±


    This guy is completely out of his mind.


    I¡¯d say there are some customers (all female customers, though).


    Ah no¡­


    I need to do something fast.


    The moment I thought that.


    ¡°Don¡¯t get smart with me, you punk!¡±


    The blow of her fist hit the lower abdomen of the man who was groping her body over the counter.


    ¡°Augh!¡±


    Not wanting to give the man time to struggle in pain, the bartender lady quickly climbed over the counter and seized him.


    I thought to myself, seeing such a thing.


    She didn¡¯t need my help¡­


    X X X


    At the police station.


    Eventually, the bartender handed over the man to the police. Thanks to the video footage and testimony from me and the female customer, things went smoothly.


    In the meantime, I sent a message to my mom.


    Luckily, I was unharmed and the police guys called my mom and complimented her on me, which made her very happy and she bragged about me to the officers over the receiver.


    After the procedure, I walked out of the police station alone with the bartender.


    I didn¡¯t really do anything in particular, but she waited for me.


    ¡°Oh, um¡­ I¡¯m sorry. It was unnecessary help, wasn¡¯t it?¡±


    I apologized to her, using my remorse from the Yuna Hiragi incident.


    Because sometimes what you do for the best of intentions can cause damage to the other person.


    Will she be as angry as Yuna Hiragi?


    I was a little nervous looking at her profile.


    And all of a sudden¡­


    She put me in a headlock.


    ¡°Huh!¡±


    She wasn¡¯t strong by any means, she could untie me if she wanted to, but thanks to her big t**s gently pushing my head, I was stuck except for my legs.


    ¡°What are you talking about? It was cool.¡±


    ¡°Yes¡­¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m Kenichi Kudo.¡±


    ¡°Kenichi, I¡¯m Natsuko Natsuko.¡±


    ¡°Hiragi?¡±


    ¡°Just Natsuko.¡±


    ¡°Yes¡­¡±


    Well, there are a few people at my school who have the last name Hiragi.


    I sighed as I finally freed myself from Natsuko-san¡¯s arms and chest, she coughs deliberately and says.


    ¡°Haa~, I had to close my shop because of that shet. It was so annoying.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry to hear that.¡±


    I said with a fake laugh, and she asked me knowingly.


    ¡°So, how old are you, Kenichi?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m, um, I¡¯m¡­ 21 years old.¡±


    I don¡¯t have to deceive her, but I said it out of habit¡­


    ¡°You¡¯re young.¡±


    ¡°No, no¡­ Natsuko, you¡¯re the one who¡¯s so beautiful and young. You¡¯re close to my age, aren¡¯t you?¡±


    I asked, and Natsuko-san smiled happily and slapped my back once with the palm of her hand.


    ¡°I was surprised¡­.¡±


    I looked at Natsuko-san and gave her a slight wry smile.


    Then¡­


    ¡°Hey.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Do you have a girlfriend?¡±


    ¡°No, I have not!¡±


    ¡°Fufu.¡±


    ¡°?¡±


    ¡°Come with me for a while. You¡¯re not busy anyway, are you?¡±


    ¡°¡­ Yes.¡±

    Love Hotel


    How did this happen¡­

 Chapter 15

    Late at night.


    I look up at the moon in the night sky while muttering to myself as I look out over the streets seeing the shops that have long since closed.


    ¡°Ahh¡­ this is the prime of my life¡­¡±


    You see, I had a hardcore f*k with Natsuko-san.


    She has a gal-like appearance and a very active and feisty personality. In other words, the complete opposite of Ayane-san.


    To be honest, if I hadn¡¯t gained experience with Ayane-san, I would have actually been in serious trouble.


    So much so, that¡­


    Natsuko-san¡­


    ¡°She was amazing¡­¡±


    The way she looked at me.


    It was sharp and powerful enough to even paralyze my entire body, but also attractive enough to tickle my instincts.


    I was currently walking slowly to my house with empty eyes so I can finally rest this tired body of mine, being unable to distinguish whether the scenery of this quiet night road is real or illusory.


    But¡­


    There is no way to hide this elation that is rising up in my heart, and my feelings are getting more and more excited.


    I had an affair with two women.


    Both women are very beautiful and should have had no reason nor chance to be with me for my lifetime.


    I¡¯ve never even had a girlfriend, and Uchida dumped me.


    But I was able to satisfy both of them.


    And when I think about that¡­


    ¡°Uwwoooooooooooo!!!¡±


    I can¡¯t help but scream.


    ¡°Shut up!!!  You fuking drunk!!!!¡±


    Ahh right, this was a residential area.


    ¡°Excuse me!!!¡±


    ¡°I told you you¡¯re too loud!!!¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    I shut up and increased my walking speed.


    I¡¯m sorry.


    I don¡¯t have anyone to whom I can confide my happiness¡­


    But I don¡¯t make fun of anyone by saying ¡°I¡¯m super popular and I hang out with a lot of girls¡±


    I¡¯ll remain Kenichi Kudo, even if I had already done it with two people.


    X X X


    Rino¡¯s side


    Uchida family


    ¡°You¡¯re being totally reckless, Mom.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­ haa¡­ still hot¡­ my stomach is hot¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­ Ice packs on the belly¡­ it¡¯s already lukewarm.¡±


    Rino lifted the ice pack on Ayane¡¯s stomach to check the temperature and then said those words with a don¡¯t-know-what look on her face.


    She tried to dismiss it as something that had to be done because of her work, but her mother was so much more soaring than usual that she even gave her a slightly strange look, but she also thought it was a bad idea to pry too much, so she turned on her heel.


    ¡°Let me know if you need anything.¡±


    ¡°Thank you¡­ and sorry. For being such an annoying mother¡­¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. It can¡¯t be helped.¡±


    With that, Rino left the room and sat down on the couch, a stuffed animal between her own two thighs and a dark expression on her face.


    It was because of that one cause.


    His response.


    ¡°Your mother asked you to do this again?¡±


    ¡°Nah. Today is a different day.¡±


    She did some probing today.


    Then he gave a meaningful reply.


    She wondered what the h**l was going on?


    ¡°Hmm¡­ Suspicious.¡±


    But the other day he assured her he didn¡¯t have a girlfriend.


    Yeah.


    He doesn¡¯t have a girlfriend.


    This gives her a temporary peace of mind.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. I bet he has just been playing with his guy friends and stuff¡­¡±


    She says to herself, but the root of the problem is still unresolved.


    He¡¯s a very serious man.


    So he must be living a healthy life now.


    But¡­


    There¡¯s no guarantee that a woman who has feelings for him won¡¯t show up.


    ¡°But Kenichi¡­ I know it¡¯s bad to put it this way, but he¡¯s getting a little old already, he hasn¡¯t had a girlfriend for¡­ a long time too, so¡­¡±


    Saying this, she exhaled colorfully, stroking her overly large b*****s.


    ¡°Haan¡­ Kenichi Shama¡­ don¡¯t become more handsome¡­ I want you the way you are now¡­¡±


    Her body was on fire as she let out a luscious breath.


    Forgetting the fact that she dumped him, Rino was just happy to know that she will see him again tomorrow.


    Even though it was late at night, there was no sign of fatigue in Rino¡¯s moist magenta eyes.


    X X X


    Hiragi Residence.


    Natsuko entered the house.


    The apartment was small compared to the Uchida¡¯s, but it was fine for the two of them to live in.


    At this time of the night, her daughter should have been asleep already, but for some reason, the lights were on. Natsuko wondered why, and went to the living room, where the light was on, to find her daughter sitting on the sofa in a nightgown, playing with her cell phone.


    Yuna glances at Natsuko as if she had been waiting for her arrival.


    ¡°Yuna. Is something wrong?¡±


    ¡°Hmm¡­ a little.¡±


    ¡°Tell me.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±


    ¡°Is that so?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    And Natsuko, feeling tired, just went into the bathroom to take a shower as soon as possible.


    After her second shower, she felt refreshed and put on her revealing loungewear and went towards the living room again.


    Yuna was still there.


    ¡°Go to bed early. Or you¡¯ll be late.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Natsuko looks at her own daughter with a simmering expression.


    There was a strange atmosphere flowing between these two people, who, no matter how you looked at it, looked like sisters.


    But Yuna finally couldn¡¯t take it anymore and opened her mouth while fiddling with her phone.


    ¡°All men suck.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s a liar, pervert, beast, stupid.¡±


    ¡°Yuna!¡±


    ¡°Hi? What?¡±


    Natsuko put a stop to it when she turned her head and said in a resentful voice¡­


    ¡°I told you to forget about your Dad.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°Because not everyone in the world is a b*****d like him.¡±


    ¡°That may be true, but¡­¡±


    ¡°Hou.¡±


    It was the first time Yuna, who always ignored men, affirmed her words.


    Maybe.


    Natsuko¡¯s eyes widened in surprise when she heard these words coming from her daughter¡¯s mouth.


    ¡°Did you find a guy you like at school or something?¡±


    ¡°!!!¡±


    ¡°Hmm, that¡¯s so easy to understand.¡±


    ¡°Shut up!¡±


    Yuna narrowed her eyes and glared at her own mother, but Natsuko relaxed her cheeks and took her reaction as a part of her charm.


    ¡°Yuna is cute, so I think if you attack him, it will be a hit. But that¡¯s only if you can.¡±


    Natsuko says, deliberately provoking her daughter.


    ¡°Humph! Why do I have to go for that lousy guy? That¡¯s so ridiculous..¡±


    ¡°Yuna.¡±


    ¡°Hah?¡±


    ¡°No matter how beautiful and cute you are, if you behave like that, you will get tripped up someday¡±


    ¡°!!! I was stupid to tell Mom! I¡¯m going to bed!¡±


    Yuna stood up and walked to her room with her cheeks puffed out.


    Natsuko smiled gently and breathed a sigh of relief, perhaps because the back of her own daughter was so adorable to her.


    ¡°Such a cute girl.¡±


    [Postscript]


    This story wouldn¡¯t be complete without the daughters.

 Chapter 16

    Several days later.


    At School.


    ¡°Kenichi.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°Kenichi!¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°Kenichi!¡±


    ¡°!!! You scared me! What the heck, Yuto? You suddenly shouted.¡±


    ¡°Well, I¡¯ve already called you three times¡­¡±


    ¡°Ah, is that so.¡±


    As I was sitting in my seat, my childhood friend, Yuto, called out my name in a loud voice.


    The class is quite noisy since it is still the time before the class starts. So Yuto¡¯s voice didn¡¯t reach that far, but my ears were sensitive enough to hear it. No, I guess I was a bit spaced out, because I only noticed it when he called me three times.


    ¡°Kenichi¡¯s been kind of spaced out lately. Did something happen?¡±


    ¡°Nn¡­¡±


    Two things happened that changed my life, and , I can¡¯t tell this guy about that.


    ¡°Nothing special.¡±


    ¡°Really? Did anything happen while I was helping my dad with his work?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    I look away awkwardly in silence.


    This guy is a really dear friend of mine, the one who was saved by my dad who passed away. So just being with him, knowing my dad so well, gives me peace of mind.


    ¡°Well, there are some things you just can¡¯t say.¡±


    ¡°Yuto¡­¡±


    ¡°Well, it¡¯s not good to dwell on it. Bad things are bound to happen someday.¡±


    ¡°Y-yeah. You¡¯re right.¡±


    I said with a slight wry smile, and Yuto continued with a smile.


    ¡°But somehow I have a feeling that something good will happen to Kenichi today.¡±


    ¡°What is that? Is that like fortune-telling or something?¡±


    ¡°Not really, but sort of?¡±


    Something good, huh?


    There¡¯s enough good stuff going on around me already, man.


    I looked ahead with that thought in my mind.


    And then I looked at Uchida.


    There is no doubt that I am reflected in her magenta eyes.


    She smiled gently.


    She¡¯s really beautiful.


    She¡¯s beautiful the way she always is, but when she¡¯s smiling like that¡­


    The sight of Ayane-san falling into pleasure because of me, es to mind.


    ¡°W-what the h**l am I thinking!¡±


    ¡°W-what¡¯s wrong, Kenichi?¡±


    ¡°N-no, it¡¯s nothing¡­¡±


    As I sigh with my head in my hands, Yuto looks at me worriedly and mutters something in a whisper.


    ¡°I can¡¯t wait for Kenichi to be able to get her¡­¡±


    And the bell rang.


    X X X


    After school.


    Today, too, Yuto left school ahead of me to help his father with his work. As I was slowly stuffing my textbooks into my bag, one of Uchida¡¯s friends, Minami Kirishima, who has impressive, narrowed eyes, suddenly came toward me.


    ¡°Kudo!¡±


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    She is also a beautiful girl who doesn¡¯t feel out of place even if she¡¯s with Uchida. I nodded my head because I have rarely talked to Kirishima, who reigns at the top of such a caste.


    ¡°Hey, can you help me with some mittee work? I have a lot of printing to do¡­ I¡¯ll buy you some juice! Rino will be there too, by the way.¡±


    Hmm¡­ I¡¯m confused why she mentioned Uchida, but I don¡¯t have any plans today other than to have a drink with Ayane-san at the bar at night so¡­


    ¡°I¡¯ll help you with the heavy lifting.¡±


    ¡°Fufu, thanks! That helps.¡±


    Kirishima clapped her hands in delight. But maybe it¡¯s my imagination, but I feel like her eyes are infused with a color that was testing me.


    Well, try or nothing.


    Let¡¯s get on with it and have fun with Ayane-san.


    With that thought, I got up from my seat.


    X X X


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    Why are me and Uchida carrying prints together?


    I¡¯m fine on my own.


    That¡¯s what I thought, but Kirishima pushed me and Uchida into it, so we had no choice but to walk down the hallway together.


    I don¡¯t know why.


    But it hurts, the way people are looking at me right now.


    I don¡¯t really like doing it either¡­


    A lot of boys who are after Uchida are staring at me.


    In particular, Hashimoto, who has a reddened face among the positive characters in my class, is giving me a murderous stare.


    So this guy, too, is after Uchida, though he¡¯s hiding it on the surface.


    ¡°Seriously, only people who say they¡¯re virgins can¡¯t graduate.¡± (see Chapter 13).


    On the way to school, he is a disagreeable and jovial person who looks down on his own friends from above.


    I don¡¯t really care about standing out, but I honestly don¡¯t like guys like that. I¡¯m not a shy guy, but I¡¯m not on the same wavelength as guys with big attitudes like that.


    I¡¯m not just talking about guys, but girls too, no matter how pretty they are, if they have a bad personality, they lose their charm.


    Hiragi is an example.


    I sighed with a plicated expression on my face as I arrived at the staff room.


    I handed the printouts to the teacher and walked out, then Uchida opened her mouth, fidgeting.


    ¡°Minami gave me some money, so let¡¯s go buy some juice.¡±


    ¡°Oh, okay¡±


    X X X


    Me and Uchida went to a vending machine in a less popular place (so to speak, a little-known spot) and bought some juice.


    If she wants to buy juice, she can go to the department store and buy it, but why here? As I was drinking my juice, wondering, Uchida¡¯s cheeks suddenly turned red while she was holding her juice..


    ¡°Let¡¯s get back to class, shall we?¡±


    I was about to turn on my heel when I said that.


    ¡°Kudo-kun!¡±


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Uchida looked at me, her magenta eyes moist and shy. Her long, silky black hair was swaying and carrying a nice fragrance to my nose.


    ¡°About the confession, a year ago¡­¡±


    ¡°!!!¡±


    W-what is it about?


    Why is she suddenly digging up my black history again?


    I blow a little on my juice, and Uchida looks apologetically from side to side, then speaks with a very reluctant expression on her face.


    ¡°I was really happy when Kudo-kun confessed to me¡­¡±


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    She uttered words that far surpassed my expectation, it made me drop my juice.


    ¡°I told you before, right? I don¡¯t want it to be known that I¡¯m from a fatherless family, so I turned down all the confessions from boys¡­ so that one from a year ago doesn¡¯t count¡­¡±


    ¡°Oh, ohh¡­¡±


    She flushed and awkwardly raked her fingers up her hair that hung in front of her and exhaled colorfully.


    She gives off the vibe that if I confessed to her right now, she¡¯d accept my proposal.


    Surely in the past, I would¡¯ve confessed right away.


    But¡­


    I¡¯m already on the path to adulthood now.


    I¡¯m in a s*x-friend relationship with one beautiful lady and the other time I had a relationship with another woman.


    I hope Uchida will have a good love life.


    Many people are after her. I¡¯m sure there are many men who could make Uchida happy.


    I¡¯m just¡­


    Busy.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go back to class.¡±


    ¡°¡­ Un.¡±


    X*X


    [Uchida side]


    His voice was cold.


    She realized as she looked at his muscular back.


    Why did I dump him back then?


    I feel like cursing my past self to death.


    Unlike other men, Kenichi is a very serious boy who doesn¡¯t insist on getting involved.


    He looks a little old, but he¡¯s muscular, and I thought he¡¯d be reliable if we got along.


    And somehow his words and gestures made me feel at ease.


    I was so happy when I heard his family situation is the same as mine.


    He was the man who gave me the courage to be myself.


    I found myself falling in love with him.


    But I couldn¡¯t tell him how I felt.


    Rino has received confessions from countless men. But she¡¯s never done it herself.


    Rino believes that if she says even the slightest thoughtful thing, he will surely pour out his warm feelings to her.


    As if unable to see through such pride, he utters a few cold words before walking away.


    That man is not a man who has any mon sense of his own.


    So.


    It sucks extra.


    ¡°Ah, Kudo-kun¡­¡±


    She whispers this and then walks behind him, her legs shaking slightly, like she was running on electricity.


    But there was a tightening pain in Rino¡¯s heart.


    The foolish self who dumped him.


    He seems to have no intention of doing so.


    Because of her pride, she became a pathetic person who was not able to express even one of her feelings.


    The more time passes, the more Rino gradually begins to feel the weight of how much the attitude she has taken towards him has put her at a disadvantage.


    Still, she holds out hope.


    That she has a bright future ahead of her.


    Dreaming of the day Kenichi confesses to her again¡­


    (As the the two people walked by, a beautiful blonde girl peeked at them from behind)


    [Postscript]


    There¡¯s too much discrepancy.


    Next time or the next next time might be interesting¡­

 Chapter 17

    [Kenichi¡¯s side]


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go first.¡±


    ¡°Ah, Kudo! Let¡¯s go home together. We can go to a caf¨¦ if you want. Just me, Rino, and you!¡±


    ¡°Hn¡­ I¡¯m glad you invited me, but I have to go do some shopping for my mom.¡±


    I am grateful to my mother after all.


    Earlier, while I was on the way back to class, my mom called me to buy some more sesame oil because we were out of it.


    I¡¯m going on a date with Ayane today. So it would be good to take on the challenge in perfect condition.


    And also, look.


    They are the two who reign at the top of the girl¡¯s hierarchy. Uchida is the school¡¯s madonna.


    So yeah¡­ and if Hashimoto or the guys from the same school saw us in uniform talking at the caf¨¦, it would be a problem.


    ¡°Later.¡±


    ¡°Y-yeah¡­ see you tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    I smiled and waved my hand, and Kirishima, slightly confused, waved back.


    But¡­


    Uchida was¡­


    She just looked at me sadly.


    I honestly don¡¯t understand why she had such an expression.


    Did I do something wrong?


    But she never said anything to me.


    I know she has something meaningful and thought-provoking to say, but if she doesn¡¯t say it in words that I can understand properly, I¡¯m going to get another weird thought on my part again.


    So I walked out of class as fast as I could with the girls behind me, ignoring Uchida.


    (Minami Kirishima looked at Kenichi and a dejected Rino alternately with narrowed eyes)


    X X X


    Residential area


    After leaving school, I am currently passing through a residential area.


    This is also the place where I saved Yuna Hiragi from a pick-up guy before.


    In the end, even though I helped her, that girl, Hiragi, was still pretty hard on me and kept shitting on me.


    ¡°I wish she could take a little bit of a cue from the other Hiragi-san~ she¡¯s got a really pretty face. Well, I don¡¯t really care.¡±


    Comparing those two, who look alike but have very different personalities, I chuckled and raised the corners of my mouth slightly.


    Then I heard a familiar voice that seemed to be looking down at me, from behind me.


    ¡°What about this other Hiragi-san?¡±


    Yeah, bad timing.


    I stopped and turned around.


    Then, as expected, there was Yuna Hiragi, a beautiful, healthy wheat-colored girl with dominating blonde hair, looking at me jitterily.


    ¡°Ah, you again.¡±


    I chuckled and muttered to myself, she crossed her arms and glared at me sharply. Her  marshmallows were so big that it made it hard for me to look at her face.


    Only her appearance is top-level though.


    She has a pretty bad personality after all.


    ¡°You¡¯re being cheeky, you know that? You should know your place.¡±


    If I say a word here that offends her, it could get me in trouble.


    The old me would have definitely lost my temper and gotten angry, but now I¡¯m extremely calm. It¡¯s probably thanks to Ayane-san and Natsuko-san.


    ¡°Yeah. I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    I say in a voice only she can hear, and I start walking briskly.


    But¡­


    ¡°What the h**l is that? That¡¯s super annoying you know? The way you said that!¡±


    And Hiragi tugged on my sleeve as she said so.


    ¡°Huh!¡±


    Startled, I turned around again.


    I don¡¯t know why she¡¯s always so pissed off.


    ¡°What do you want me to do then?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t apologize to me.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    I gave her a ¡°seriously, what¡¯re you talking about?¡± look as Hiragi said more and more nonsensical words.


    Hiragi looked brazen and opened her mouth again.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been stressed out because you¡¯re so ugly and pathetic.¡±


    I can¡¯t believe she would say words that would hurt my character¡­ If you said that to a new employee at work, you¡¯d get sued for power harassment. I¡¯m in high school, so I don¡¯t know much about it, but anyway, Hiragi¡¯s attitude is really rude.


    I asked, holding my face.


    ¡°What¡¯s with the stress?¡±


    Hiragi replied with a confident look on her face, her chest munched back.


    ¡°I¡¯m super cute and beautiful. But you don¡¯t match up to me and you¡¯re not good looking, so that¡¯s stressful in itself already. So if you are sorry, I¡¯ll make you my servant. Wouldn¡¯t that be an honor?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    Another condescending look.


    But it¡¯s not good to be angry.


    She¡¯s just a high school kid.


    I might not be an adult like Ayane-san and Natsuko-san.


    But even I can give this arrogant lady a little dose of reality.


    I¡¯m sure it¡¯ll break her heart, but, uh, I don¡¯t care.


    I just want her to hate me more and stay away from me.


    ¡°Hey, don¡¯t get too carried away.¡±


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    ¡°Hiragi, you sure are beautiful and pretty. I bet you get confessions from guys all the time.¡±


    ¡°Yeah. Indeed. You know exactly what I¡¯m talking about.¡±


    I can tell she¡¯s in a good mood because of the pliment.


    ¡°But there are a lot of women who are more beautiful, prettier, have a better personality and a nicer body than you. So stop acting like a narcissist. It¡¯s disgusting. If you keep acting like that, you¡¯re going to get your feet scooped off the ground.¡±


    ¡°!!!!!!¡±


    I took one look at her, her mouth half open and frozen, then turned and walked at a brisk pace, turning on my heel.


    X*X


    [Yuna Hiragi side]


    Yuna muttered as she watched his back as he left.


    ¡°Why is that¡­ he¡¯s¡­ totally different from other guys¡­ really out of tune¡­¡±


    She said in a trembling voice, then shook her body.


    The moment she heard his words, she felt a strong surge of electricity in her head.


    She had never felt such stimulation.


    She was always begged to go out with the model handsome guys, so she had no choice but to mount them and go out with them, but all of them in the end, just wanted her body. So of course, she dumped them without mercy if they showed even the slightest ulterior motive, and so she¡¯s still a virgin.


    In other words, for her, the men of the world are nothing but beasts, just like her own father.


    Despite having a beautiful and respectable woman like mom, he cheated on her, two-timed her, three-timed her, and eventually he got sick and died.


    All men are sub-par to my father.


    But all my life I¡¯ve been searching for my perfect man.


    All men are less than garbage, industrial waste, and all my boyfriends are like my father.


    I¡¯m disgusted by such contradictions and now I¡¯m free.


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    Kenichi Kudo.


    He¡¯s unlike any man I¡¯ve ever seen.


    He doesn¡¯t look at me in a naughty way,


    Above all.


    He¡¯s very mature.


    He says and does things that make you wonder if he¡¯s really a high school student¡­


    ¡°That Kudo¡­¡±


    He¡¯s a pudgy, old-looking boy his age, so why is he such a¡­


    ¡°Nn¡­¡±


    ¡°But you know, there are women who are more beautiful, prettier, have better personalities, and have nicer bodies than you. So stop acting like a narcissist. It¡¯s disgusting. If you keep acting like that, you¡¯re going to get your feet scooped off the ground.¡±


    I¡¯m not at all sickened by all the preachy things he said to me.


    Rather¡­


    ¡°Uhh¡­ That Kudo¡­¡±


    The electricity coursed through Yuna¡¯s entire body.


    They began to gather on her stomach.


    And her cheeks took on a pinkish tinge.


    X X X


    Evening


    At a bar.


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    I came to the bar and found two people (Ayane-san and Natsuko-san) staring at me so hard.


    Come to think of it, Ayane-san said she¡¯s a regular here.


    So I thought, maybe she¡¯s good friends with Natsuko-san.


    Which probably means that¡­


    I hooked up with someone who was a friend of Ayane-san¡¯s.


    Why did I have to realize it now¡­


    ¡°Kenichi-kun.¡±


    ¡°Kenichi.¡±


    ¡°Y-yes¡­¡±


    ¡°Can I talk to you for a minute?¡± x2


    Yabai!!


    [Postscript]


    It¡¯s getting interesting¡­

 Chapter 18

    ¡°Kenichi-kun, how are you?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s true¡­ I had no idea that you and Natsuko-san-san were friends.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    Ayane-san was sitting at the counter and Natsuko-san, who was holding a bottle of expensive whiskey across from her, had her arms crossed and was staring at me very intently.


    I didn¡¯t mean to be a jerk. But I think it was a bit inappropriate for me to sleep with another woman despite the fact that I already have a partner named Ayane-san.


    I silently sipped on the lemonade she gave me and looked at their faces.


    Maybe I¡¯m just gonna get dumped?


    Maybe I won¡¯t be able to see Ayane-san any more?


    No, stop¡­


    As I was in such despair, Ayane-san suddenly attached herself to me and caught me with her faded magenta eyes.


    The pheromones that stimulate my nose e in uninhibited.


    ¡°Kenichi-kun is a bad boy.¡±


    ¡°Ugh¡­ sorry!¡±


    ¡°I think you need to be punished.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll take any punishment! I¡¯ll do whatever you say!¡±


    ¡°For real?¡±


    ¡°I mean it!¡±


    ¡°Fufu¡­ Leaving me behind, with another woman¡­ Kenichi-kun, you will pay plenty for this. You can be my slave for the rest of your life or¡­¡±


    ¡°Aa, Ayane-san¡­ your eyes are serious¡­¡±


    This is scary¡­


    She¡¯s usually a demure-looking beauty, but this change gives me goosebumps.


    And I can¡¯t believe she wants me to be her slave¡­


    I would have never expected such words to e out of the mouth of Ayane-san, who has the air of a nice young lady, let alone the belligerent Natsuko-san next to her.


    So that¡¯s how angry she is.


    But halfway through, Natsuko-san blew it.


    ¡®Pfft! Ayane-san, stop teasing him.¡±


    ¡°Fufu, right.¡±


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    Hearing Natsuko-san-san¡¯s words, Ayane-san-san¡¯s eyes regained their original color and she looked at me, smiling. But I noticed her eyes aren¡¯t smiling at all.


    Ayane-san continues.


    ¡°Kenichi didn¡¯t do anything bad towards me, in fact, he actually helped Natsuko-san out.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right! I had no idea that Kenichi and Ayane-san had that kind of relationship, and well, it can¡¯t be helped.¡±


    ¡°Yes¡­¡±


    I was forgiven surprisingly easily.


    Well, e to think of it, it¡¯s not like me and Ayane-san are going out or anything, so it wouldn¡¯t really count as cheating.


    But I¡¯m in high school, so I don¡¯t know how to react.


    Let¡¯s just pretend to be sorry.


    I thought and sighed as I turned over again. Then Ayane-san tapped me on the shoulder and spoke to me.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so uptight.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    Then Natsuko-san moved her face even closer to mine and said in a voice that only me and Ayane-san could hear.


    ¡°Because Ayane-san has done something bad to Kenichi, too. And so have I.¡±


    ¡°Ehh?¡±


    I tilted my head and looked at them alternately, they just laughed sexily and let out a sweet sigh, but they didn¡¯t say anything.


    Instead.


    ¡°Kenichi, I¡¯m closing early today, would you like to hang out with me.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    ¡°By the way, Ayane-san¡¯s will also be ing.¡±


    I was looking at Ayane-san when she said something that sounded very meaningful.


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    Her cheeks were flushed with embarrassment, and she was moving her beautiful legs around.


    No way¡­ could this be¡­


    (Seeing Kenichi surrounded by two beautiful women, the female customer looks at him with envy, while the male customer looks at him with jealousy.)


    X X X


    The next day.


    Morning.


    In front of the main gate of the school


    I think yesterday was the brightest day of my life.


    I always thought threesomes were a phantom concept that didn¡¯t exist in the real world¡­


    I¡¯ve just finished my virginity and I¡¯ve had some really intense s*x with two beautiful women.


    After the deed is done, the look on their faces as they exhale hotly in bed, spraying thick pheromones, stays in my mind and doesn¡¯t go away.


    The two of them¡­


    It was more than I could have ever imagined.


    And for me too.


    ¡°Oh, s**t! I have school¡­¡±


    And even if I talk to myself and remind myself, this elation will not go away.


    Today Yuto seems to have overslept and I¡¯m on my way to the entrance alone. I can hear Hashimoto (Yuya) and some of his friends talking, who were giving me murderous glances the other day.


    ¡°Yuya! Do you have any tips on how to be popular with girls? I¡¯ve been getting rejected all my life~ hey~¡±


    ¡°Ahaha, if you¡¯re as stubborn as you are now, she won¡¯t like you.¡±


    ¡°I see! As expected of Yuya! The other day a junior girl confessed her feelings for you, right? How did it go?¡±


    ¡°Haha¡­ I guess it¡¯s like a roundabout way of saying?¡±


    ¡°A grown up after all~ I envy.¡±


    Hashimoto giggled when his friends around him praised him, then he looked around¡­


    And set his sights on me.


    A wary gaze.


    The way he was looking down on me, as if he¡¯s looking at something foreign, seems worse than Hiragi¡¯s.


    As me and him stared at each other, I heard a voice behind me.


    ¡°Kudo-kun!¡±


    ¡°?¡±


    I turned around and saw Uchida, the most pure and beautiful girl in school, looking at me all alone.


    ¡°Uchida¡­¡±


    ¡°Good morning¡­¡±


    ¡°Ou, g-good morning.¡±


    Usually, she goes to and from school with Kirishima, who has strikingly long, slit eyes, and Yanagisawa, who looks so warm and friendly, but today, for some reason, she¡¯s alone.


    Although, why did she bother to talk to me?


    I don¡¯t think we were that close.


    As I was thinking things over, she quickly pulled out her phone and handed it to me.


    ¡°?¡±


    I twisted my head and she smiled and said,


    ¡°LINE, let¡¯s exchange contacts.¡±


    ¡°O-okay.¡±


    What is it? A contact exchange.


    It¡¯s not like giving her my LINE account is going to wear me out, so let¡¯s do it. And if I refuse, that¡¯s not right either.


    Let¡¯s get this over with and get to class.


    I fiddled with Uchida¡¯s phone, and she continued, embarrassed.


    ¡°Uh, you know¡­ Kudo-kun.¡±


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    ¡°I have one favor to ask you, Kudo-kun¡­¡±


    ¡°A favor?¡±


    I fumble with her cell phone while saying something at random, prompting her to continue.


    ¡°There¡¯s a new caf¨¦ that opened recently¡­ and if you have time after school today, would you like to go with me?¡±


    ¡°Hmm? Why me?¡±


    ¡°Well, that¡¯s the thing! Well, there¡¯s a special menu for couples, and I want to take a picture of it and post it on SNS.¡±


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you just go with another boy instead of me though?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    I said casually, and she was silent for a moment.


    I¡¯m not sure why my account isn¡¯t showing up when I type in my ID. And as I was staring at Uchida¡¯s phone.


    ¡°I¡¯m from a single-mother family, so I¡¯m more fortable with Kudo-kun, who¡¯s also from a single-mother family¡­ and the other boys are a little scary¡­¡±


    I see. That¡¯s why she asked me to do it.


    it can¡¯t be helped then¡­


    ¡°I see. If that¡¯s the case, it¡¯s fine. I don¡¯t have plans today.¡±


    ¡°R-really?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I happen to be free today, but you should tell me about these things a few days in advance.¡±


    ¡°Sorry¡­ I¡¯ll be in touch with you a lot on LINE from now on.¡±


    ¡°Yeah. That would be great.¡±


    After I finished adding my account, I handed her the phone.


    Uchida was smiling very brightly.


    But¡­


    Her expression was drawn back by a certain someone.


    ¡°Leave my servant alone.¡±


    ¡°¡±Huh?¡±¡±


    I turned around.


    It was Hiragi, with her blonde hair flowing and dressed down to emphasize her big b*****s, while glaring at Uchida, who said so.


    [Postscript]


    Ohh.


    Kenichi-kun has a lot to do.

 Chapter 19

    All of a sudden Hiragi came between me and Uchida and said something I couldn¡¯t quite grasp.


    I wonder how long it has been. My mind still hasn¡¯t caught up with the current situation, but Uchida seems to be different.


    Suddenly her eyes faded and she glared at Hiragi.


    W-what¡¯s with this change?


    It looks familiar somehow¡­


    I was about to think about it more deeply, but I was interrupted by Uchida¡¯s voice.


    ¡°As I recall, you¡¯re Hiragi Yuna, right?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Rino Uchida¡­¡±


    ¡°Ara, you know my name.¡±


    ¡°Of course. Who in this school doesn¡¯t know who you are?¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that the same for you, Hiiragi-san?¡±


    The two crossed their arms and turned their sharp eyes on each other. There was something uncanny about their expressions that made me think that they might be crackling with electricity.


    It¡¯s still morning though.


    And this is on school grounds.So there are quite a few boys and girls walking to the entrance to get to class.


    Naturally, we became the center of attention, even if we didn¡¯t wish for it.


    ¡°Uchida, I have something to say to Kudo, so could you go away?¡±


    ¡°Hmm~ Hiragi-san, I was talking to Kudo-kun first, you know?¡±


    ¡°Ha? You just talked to Kudo one-sidedly. What are you going to do with his contact info?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    No d-don¡¯t¡­


    Why are they fighting each other¡­


    I don¡¯t get it at all.


    And as I¡¯m puzzled, suddenly another person came.


    ¡°Both of you calm down.¡±


    That¡¯s right. Hashimoto, who is usually wary of me, came to mediate between these two.


    This guy looks down at me for a moment.


    It¡¯s as if he¡¯s saying, ¡°Don¡¯t get me started on the guys who don¡¯t know how to treat a woman.¡±


    But he quickly changes his expression and smiles gently at them.


    ¡°Rino-chan, Yuna-chan, why don¡¯t you e with me? Maybe it¡¯s because of Kudo-kun, right?¡±


    And Hashimoto, in a natural way, touched them both on the shoulder and gently pushed them.


    But¡­


    ¡°Huh? You, don¡¯t touch my body without permission, okay? You¡¯re disgusting. Really creepy.¡±


    ¡°Hashimoto-kun¡­¡±


    Hiragi stared at Hashimoto as if he was looking at a piece of filth and pushed his hand away. And Uchida glared at him with a yandere face for a moment before sticking with me.


    Puzzled, Hashimoto widened his eyes.


    Oh man¡­


    It¡¯s a big nuisance.


    I just wanted a normal school life, so why am I getting involved in all this?


    If you want to fight, do it somewhere else.


    Also, Hashimoto, I don¡¯t remember bothering you at all. If you have any plaints about me, tell me directly.


    A lot of thoughts go through my head, but I cough to cover them up and start walking.


    ¡°K-kudo-kun?¡±


    ¡°Kudo! Where are you going?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m going to class. Don¡¯t follow me.¡±


    ¡°Wait a minute!¡± x2


    They shouted and followed behind me.


    Why are they following me?


    I turn around and sigh deeply.


    And Hashimoto,


    That look of yours¡­


    He stood there clenching his fists.


    X X X


    They ended up sticking to me and argued the whole time. I tried to stop them, but they didn¡¯t seem like they were going to listen to me at all, so by the time we got to the front of my class, Hiragi already exposed her anger.


    Uchida acted as if provoking Hiragi, but Hiragi pulled back, biting her teeth.


    You see, entering a pletely different class would really stand out, wouldn¡¯t it?


    So I went to class and before I knew it, it was already after school.


    ¡°Kenichi! Let¡¯s go together today! Dad¡¯s work has finally settled down.¡±


    ¡°Ou! That¡¯s great! I¡¯ll definitely go with you! Absolutely!¡±


    ¡°Huh? What¡¯s wrong all of a sudden?¡±


    ¡°Yuto, I¡¯ve missed you.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s disgusting. You can tell that to my sister.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go home then.¡±


    ¡°Yeah!¡±


    So, I left the classroom with Yuto.


    On the way there, Kirishima and Uchida were staring at me so much, but I just went on through.


    And when it came to Hiragi, who was waiting in the corridor, she was glaring at Yuto for some reason.


    I¡¯m sorry, Yuto.


    Using you as a barrier.


    I¡¯ll buy you expensive sushi later, just protect me a little for today.


    We hadn¡¯t left school side by side in a long time.


    ¡°Kenichi.¡±


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know. I felt it when I helped my dad with his work.¡±


    ¡°Ou!¡±


    Yuto¡¯s father runs a Japanese sweets shop. So during the busy season, he¡¯s so busy that he really wants a helping hand.


    ¡°I think a simple person who works hard would have a better life than someone like Hashimoto.¡±


    ¡°Huh? What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°Look, lately he¡¯s been showing a lot of hostility towards you, Kenichi, who¡¯s trying his best to bee a firefighter by doing muscle training and all sorts of other things.¡±


    ¡°Ah¡­ that¡¯s right.¡±


    ¡°It started after you¡¯ve been able to talk to Uchida-san casually, right?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    As expected, Yuto is an understanding guy.


    ¡°I think Uchida-san and Kenichi are well balanced~¡±


    ¡°What are you talking about? Uchida is the most pure and beautiful girl in school.¡±


    ¡°Haha, yes, but¡­ But looks aren¡¯t everything.¡±


    ¡°If the outside is the qualifier and the inside is the real thing, then if you lose in the qualifier, you won¡¯t even make it to the starting line for the real thing.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡±


    ¡°Is that so?¡±


    ¡°Yeah!¡±


    I could not sense any lies or negative emotions in the eyes of Yusho when he said so.


    I then headed home after I left him.


    I don¡¯t have a date with the ladies today.


    Because after such an intense night yesterday, the three of us needed a break.


    I walked away, ecstatic again, and my phone rang.


    The person who sent it to me was¡­


    Ayane-san.


    ¡®I was wondering if you could e over to my place on Saturday and help me carry my puter. I can¡¯t do it myself¡­ I¡¯ll treat you with dinner.¡¯


    O-ouu¡­


    Ahh, Ayane-san, don¡¯t do that.


    You know we already  did it yesterday.


    Inviting me to your house¡­


    But I¡¯ll still go¡­


    At the same time


    ¡°Kudo-kun, are you not ing to the cafe?¡±


    Of course.


    ¡°I¡¯ll e.¡±


    [Postscript]


    Kenichi is about to enter the dungeon.

 Chapter 20

    Certainly, after getting involved with Uchida, my school life has undergone a slight change. A change that brought disturbance to my peaceful daily life.


    But now that I¡¯ve made a promise to Uchida, I have to keep it.


    There are no ulterior motives or bad feelings there.


    Rather¡­


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what to do.¡±


    I don¡¯t know what kind of distance I should have with a girl who had already dumped me once.


    She said something thoughtful, but¡­


    There is no way to confirm whether it is correct or not.


    I just don¡¯t have the confidence to argue with the fact that I¡¯ve never been in a relationship, and I¡¯m so devastated by the fact that I was rejected by the first girl I ever confessed my feelings to that I¡¯m still holding on to the fact that I¡¯m still rooting for her.


    For real¡­


    I¡¯m still a kid.


    I sighed with a heavy look on my face and asked Uchida what time we were going to meet and which cafe.


    X X X


    At the Cafe.


    ¡°Sorry. I went all the way to¡­¡±


    ¡°No. It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ve never been in a caf¨¦ that caters to girls like this, so it¡¯s refreshing.¡±


    ¡°Y-yeah? Hun¡­ what is it?¡±


    We ordered the couples-only menu and sat down at a table for two to talk.


    Fortunately, this place is some distance away from the school, so while there might be a lot of couples in uniforms, high school students and college students, there weren¡¯t anyone from our school.


    It¡¯s an indescribable feeling, a mixture of sadness and happiness.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t she so cute?¡±


    ¡°Really. Her looks and her figure are so amazing.¡±


    ¡°Hey! Where are you looking? You¡¯re on a date with me! Those big t**s are just a bunch of fat anyway!¡±


    ¡°Oh, sorry!¡±


    Eating dessert with the best Madonna in school. As if to illustrate this fact, the stares from the people around us are just as intense.


    That¡¯s right, Uchida does stand out.


    At any rate, the purpose of ing here is the couples-only dessert. Until it arrives, we¡¯ll try to keep the place together.


    ¡°Uchida, do you usually go to this kind of place?¡±


    When I express interest, she responds with a twinkle in her magenta eyes.


    ¡°Yeah! I like sweets and I often e here with my¡­ female friends. Kudo-kun, this is the first time I¡¯ve e here with a male friend.¡±


    ¡°O-oh.¡±


    Why is she shyly fidgeting and looking up in the middle of the conversation?


    I almost fell for her for a second, but I coughed to regain my posure.


    Then Uchida bowed her head, apologetically.


    ¡°Sorry about this morning.¡±


    ¡°Huh? Why are you apologizing?¡±


    ¡°Because of what happened with Hiragi-san and Hashimoto-kun.¡±


    ¡°Oh, that¡¯s how it is. Well, don¡¯t worry about it too much.¡±


    ¡°Thank you¡­ I¡¯m happy¡­¡±


    ¡°Happy?¡±


    I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything to be happy about.


    Her face then turns cherry red and her eyes get a little moist.


    ¡°I was scared when Hashimoto-kun touched me, but I felt so much safer because Kudo-kun was there¡­¡±


    ¡°Is that so?¡±


    So that¡¯s why she stuck to my body that time.


    If she felt a sense of security, it was probably due to the fact that she was from a single mother family.


    It¡¯s not like my body is wearing out, and helping people when I see them in trouble is also a way for me to feel a strong bond with my dad who is gone.


    That¡¯s why.


    ¡°I think I told you this before, but if you need help, call me. I¡¯ll help you as much as I can.¡±


    ¡°U-un¡­ thanks¡­ glad you¡¯re here. Hehehe¡­¡±


    I¡¯m a man who lives with my mother. But she and her mother are both women.


    I am sure there are many circumstances that she cannot talk about here.


    Seeing that smile makes me want to punch myself this morning when I was plaining in my mind about why I didn¡¯t want to get involved.


    My dad risked his life to save people, and all I could think about was my own self-preservation.


    Even if she s***s on me like Hiragi, I¡¯m still going to help her, because I¡¯ve inherited my dad¡¯s will.


    It¡¯s not limited to Uchida either.


    Mom, Yuto, Ayane-san, Natsuko-san, and, although I¡¯m really reluctant to say this, but Hiiragi too.


    With that in mind, the waitress brought us a couples-only parfait.


    She kept her eyes peeled and took a bunch of pictures, which she quickly uploaded to social media.


    As expected, Uchida is also a modern high school girl.


    And as I loosen my cheeks, she laughs and talks to me.


    ¡°Let¡¯s eat!¡±


    ¡°Ou!¡±


    Uchida said it with a smug look on her face, so I responded with a smug look on my face too.


    It¡¯s not so bad to eat delicious food in a stylish place like this with a girl from my class.


    But we must not be too arrogant.


    She only called me because she wanted to eat this parfait.


    Adult women and JK are different.


    I can¡¯t thank Ayane-san enough.


    If I didn¡¯t know Ayane, I¡¯m sure I would have taken the liberty of mistakenly thinking that I was at Uchida¡¯s mercy.


    The parfait was very good.


    While we were eating, Uchida glanced at me and asked how I was doing, but I didn¡¯t pay attention to her and concentrated on eating.


    ¡°That was good.¡±


    ¡°Yeah! We hit the jackpot here!¡±


    ¡°Yeah.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll e back together again! I want to try something else on the menu.¡±


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    Will there be another time?


    She looks at me with concern, wondering about my reaction.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Kudo-kun.¡±


    ¡°N-nothing¡­¡±


    I honestly don¡¯t know how to reply to her.


    I wish this would help her, but from the way she talks, it doesn¡¯t seem to be the only thing she is doing.


    As I was puzzled, Uchida gave me a sad look.


    ¡°You know what, Kudo-kun?¡±


    ¡°?¡±


    ¡°Actually, the reason I asked you out, Kudo-kun, was not for this parfait.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    What does she mean?


    I twist my head and ask her to continue with a look, and she asks me with a serious expression.


    ¡°There¡¯s something I wanted to ask you, Kudo-kun.¡±


    ¡°You want to ask me something?¡±


    ¡°Yeah¡­¡±


    ¡°About what?¡±


    ¡°Won¡¯t you make me your girlfriend, Kudo-kun?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°I want to hear what you really think.¡±


    A girlfriend, huh¡­


    I did want to make her my girlfriend so badly in the past.


    When I first debuted in high school, I was full of dreams and hopes and so I confessed to Uchida, who was right in front of me, the person I most wanted to be in a relationship with.


    But¡­


    ¡°Sorry, Kudo-kun.¡±


    ¡°Could you tell me why? I want to hear Uchida¡¯s true feelings.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s¡­¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s that?¡±


    ¡°Cause I don¡¯t want to date anyone.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    The words she said to me at that time felt very cold.


    She narrowed her eyes at that moment and looked at me as if she despised me.


    ¡ª I don¡¯t want to date anyone.


    That¡¯s exactly what I¡¯m feeling right now.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to.¡±


    ¡°Eh? Why?¡±


    ¡°Because I don¡¯t want to go out with anyone.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    She turned her head down when she heard my words.


    Perhaps the words I said sounded familiar.


    I finally understood how she felt a year ago.


    In that sense, I¡¯d say I¡¯m on a lower level than she is.


    ¡°I knew it was my fault¡­¡±


    ¡°?¡±


    ¡°I ignored your feelings and dumped you, and that¡¯s why¡­¡±


    ¡°N-no, what are you saying¡­¡±


    Something is wrong with Uchida.


    ¡°It¡¯s all my fault¡­ if I had told you how I felt right then¡­¡±


    ¡°Ah, hey.¡±


    I was perplexed and suddenly Uchida grabbed my right hand tightly with both hands.


    ¡°It¡¯s not your fault, Kudo-kun. It¡¯s all my fault. I ignored your feelings. I sinned against you.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°So I¡¯ll take responsibility.¡±


    Uchida¡¯s eyes are even more focused on the hand that¡¯s already holding my reddened wrist.


    Her eyes were devoid of color, and its sharp gaze entangled me so that I couldn¡¯t run away.


    I repeat, she is the Madonna of our school.


    But now, I¡¯m not confused by the beauty of it all.


    I¡¯m reacting to something dusky inside her massive chest.


    As Uchida took my right hand to her big marshmallow.

 Chapter 21

    Superb feeling.


    This is the first time I¡¯ve touched the b*****s of a girl in my class.


    Thanks to Uchida pulling on my hand, my upper body was closer to hers across the table.


    This scent¡­


    And also¡­


    ¡°Huh!¡±


    An image of Ayane-san comes to my mind.


    Come to think of it, they look a lot alike, with those magenta eyes, pure white skin, and a well-endowed body.


    Sometimes she also looks at me like she¡¯s going to drown me in.


    But I don¡¯t have time to think about that now.


    Uchida is apparently mistaken.


    Not really, I just don¡¯t feel the need to go out with her because of Ayane-san and Natsuko-san, and it shouldn¡¯t come directly from Uchida.


    If anything, if she knew the real me, she¡¯d despise me more than she did a year ago.


    ¡°W-wait, it¡¯s not your fault, Uchida. So don¡¯t worry about it.¡±


    ¡°No¡­ it¡¯s my fault. Because, Kudo-kun, you had the same face¡­¡±


    ¡°Same face?¡±


    ¡°You had the same look on your face when I dumped you.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    I see.


    Is she trying to say that I¡¯m holding onto the past?


    It¡¯s true that I¡¯ve been telling myself that I¡¯m fine, but seeing the discomfort I feel when I talk to Uchida, I might actually still be holding onto the past.


    When I think about it, I feel miserable.


    I wonder if the fact that I falsified my age and had a relationship with Ayane had anything to do with Uchida.


    Well, I can worry about that later.


    But Uchida¡¯s point should be taken in stride.


    Even if I insist that it¡¯s okay, she won¡¯t be convinced.


    ¡°Yes¡­ I might be. Although it was my first confession, I still can¡¯t believe I¡¯m still dwelling on the old days¡­ I¡¯m such a shallow person¡­ I realized it when Uchida told me.¡±


    ¡°It was the first time¡­ and I was¡­¡±


    ¡°But I¡¯m having so much fun now.¡±


    ¡°Are you having fun?¡±


    ¡°Yeah. Hanging out with Yuto, and others.¡±


    ¡°¡­ But you don¡¯t intend to have a girlfriend.¡±


    ¡°Well, yeah¡­¡±


    ¡°I knew it¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°Then come and hang out with me.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°A year ago, Kudo-kun liked me, right?¡±


    ¡°¡­ Yeah.¡±


    ¡°So, I¡¯ll accept all of your feelings from a year ago now, Kudo-kun.¡±


    The feelings I had a year ago have long since faded into a bubble of illusion and no longer exist. But Uchida still feels guilty about me for tgat.


    I¡¯m sure the old me would have made the mistake of thinking, ¡°Maybe this is my wan-chan?¡±, but I know better now. [TLN ¨C Wan-chan = one chance, not dog]


    She just wants to get rid of her guilt.


    And that my feelings don¡¯t have a play in here.


    But still, I have to help her.


    ¡°Really?¡±


    ¡°Yeah¡­ I¡¯ll go out with you until you can confess your feelings to a girl again, Kudo-kun.¡±


    ¡°¡­ Got it.¡±


    ¡°Fufu¡­¡±


    She smiled happily.


    This is just a help.


    Just play with her as you see fit, and when the time is right, say, ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± and I¡¯m sure it will come full circle.


    As I was thinking about this, something occurred to me.


    ¡°Hey, Uchida.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay to call me Rino. Kenichi-kun.¡±


    ¡°Does¡­ Rino have an older¡­ sister or something?¡±


    I asked, and she shook her head.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have one but¡­¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡°Why do you ask?¡±


    ¡°No, I just wanted to get to know you better, Rino.¡±


    ¡°Oh! Is that so?¡±


    Now my little question is answered.


    But my hands are still bound to her b*****s.


    X X X


    Next day.


    Evening.


    Bar.


    ¡°Hmm~ I didn¡¯t know that was possible.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    I was curious.


    Why did Rino call me up and tell me about that thing from a year ago?


    I¡¯ve never been in a relationship, so I wanted to talk to someone who was familiar with that kind of thing.


    So I contacted Natsuko-san and she gave me a two-fold OK, and I went straight to the bar and explained the situation to her.


    ¡°She¡¯s a bad girl who thinks only of herself.¡±


    ¡°Ehh?¡±


    ¡°Because she dumped you, didn¡¯t she? If she wanted to, she wouldn¡¯t have to go through all that trouble to tell you what was on her mind, would she? So why are you looking up to her? You make it sound as if you have a problem, Kenichi.¡±


    ¡°Oh, yeah?¡±


    ¡°Because, you know what? You¡¯re a total suck-up, dropping it and then feeding it to me.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    Seriously.


    Was I being used by Rino?


    Like kicking the corpse¡­


    ¡°You seem slow at that sort of thing~¡±


    ¡°¡­ Can¡¯t deny.¡±


    Because I¡¯m still in high school.


    ¡°Kenichi!¡±


    ¡°Y-yes!¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t give a shet about that troublesome woman, just hang out with me and I¡¯ll teach you everything I know.¡±


    ¡°E-everything¡­¡±


    ¡°There are a unusually few customers today, and I¡¯d like to do a little work in the warehouse, so help me ?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±

 Chapter 22

    ¡°!! Seriously¡­ aren¡¯t you getting better than this last time?¡±


    ¡°The same goes for you, Natsuko-san, you¡¯re amazing.¡±


    Even though there were people in the store, me and Natsuko-san still sneaked out and sought each other intensely.


    We couldn¡¯t keep the customers waiting, so me and Natsuko-san did it with all the power we could muster.


    Natsuko-san was leaning against the cardboard in the dimly lit warehouse, her body shaking slightly. Her blonde hair also shakes in reaction, filling the room with her pheromones.


    I thought as I looked at Natsuko-san, who was breathing heavily.


    That Rino might be a distraction to me.


    Soon after, I left the restaurant after exchanging a passionate kiss with Natsuko-san.


    Me walking down the street at night, illuminated by the street lights.


    Every time I interacted with these two mature ladies, I felt like I was growing up.


    And I¡¯m also going to be at Ayane¡¯s house on Saturday.


    ¡°I guess you could call it youth.¡±


    I said to myself in an unexpected direction. Then someone called me out from behind.


    ¡°What are you talking about, Kudo?¡±


    ¡°!!!¡±


    I turned around in surprise and there was Yuna Hiragi in her school uniform staring at me.


    ¡°Hiragi¡­¡±


    ¡°Why is Kudo here?¡±


    ¡°Is it bad that I¡¯m here?¡±


    ¡°¡­ isn¡¯t bad, though.¡±


    As I recomposed myself, Hiragi looked away.


    There are a lot of liquor stores here. In fact, there are already drunks and pick-up men roaming around town, so the fact that a high school girl in uniform is here probably means that¡­


    ¡°Don¡¯t hang around here, it¡¯s not safe. See you at school.¡±


    And as I moved my feet, brushed her off without a care in the world, she grabbed my sleeve.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    ¡°Do you have a minute?¡±


    ¡°¡­ Not exactly but why?¡±


    ¡°I need you to hang out with me.¡±


    Now you¡¯ve said it right this time.


    So Hiragi and I went into a nearby family restaurant.


    ¡°I see. You mean you were waiting for your mother to finish work.¡±


    ¡°Yeah. The pick-up dudes were a real pain though.¡±


    ¡°I bet.¡±


    She may not have the best personality, but she sure is as good as Rino when it comes to looks. But I don¡¯t really like her.


    ¡°So, what do you want?¡±


    ¡°¡­ Oh, I just wanted to apologize.¡±


    ¡°Apologize?¡±


    And as I looked at her with a strange look on my face, Hiragi made her mouth squirm in embarrassment.


    ¡°You helped me the other day, and I said bad things to you¡­¡±


    ¡°Oh, that.¡±


    Well, it was pretty hard at the time.


    But you really never know in this world when you get an apology from Hiragi, who is famous for her pride.


    ¡°I thought you were one of those beasts who, after a little help, would come on to me for my body.¡±


    There¡¯s people like that.


    I think it¡¯s similar to people who are plotting bad things, doing volunteer activities or making donations to show that they¡¯re good people.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it was. Then it can¡¯t be helped. But it was really hard at the time.¡±


    ¡°¡­ sorry.¡±


    ¡°Well¡­ it¡¯s fine. I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    ¡°I knew it. You¡¯re weird.¡±


    ¡°Am I the weird one?¡±


    Suddenly being treated like a freak made me wrinkle my brow and urge her to continue with a look.


    ¡°You¡¯re not like the other guys. And you don¡¯t even treat me like I¡¯m special.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, because Hiragi is Hiragi, right?¡±


    ¡°¡­ I knew it.¡±


    ¡°?¡±


    She blushed a little and turned over. But she eventually looked up and turned to me.


    ¡°Then you can stop being my servant and be my boyfriend.¡±


    ¡°Hah?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m asking you to go out with me.¡±


    ¡°Weren¡¯t you just in the middle of something¡­¡±


    I was suddenly confessed to by the most beautiful gal in school.


    Is this really a confession though?


    I think it was just a one-sided declaration.


    ¡°That¡¯s why virgins are so bad. You¡¯re so bad at listening.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re making assumptions like that again.¡±


    ¡±Hmm~ that way of talking makes you a virgin, doesn¡¯t it?¡±


    ¡°Why are you asking me that? You¡¯re kinda out of your mind.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°If you don¡¯t need me, I¡¯ll be on my way.¡±


    I said and I made a gesture to stand up and Hiragi said as if she was in dire need of help.


    ¡°I don¡¯t understand¡­!¡±


    ¡°?¡±


    ¡°I come from a single-mother family, and my father ended up having an affair with another woman and ended up dying of an illness¡­I really don¡¯t know what to do!¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    I don¡¯t know why she¡¯s telling me about her own family affairs.


    But¡­


    She must have been living with a tangled feeling in her heart.


    It¡¯s like it just exploded.


    I don¡¯t know much about her, but I tell her as she looks at me anxiously and sadly.


    ¡°I¡¯m from a single mother family, too.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Well, sure, the Hiragi¡¯s dad who cheated all over the place might be a bit of a thing, but what¡¯s important is now, pondering it won¡¯t give you the answer.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°Well, I¡¯m a big guy myself, but I¡¯m still not a decent person to hold onto the fact that I was dumped.¡±


    ¡°What? Did someone dump you, Kudo?¡±


    ¡°Yeah.¡±


    Oh, no.


    Thanks to Hiragi¡¯s openness about the situation at home, I told her my embarrassing story too. Well, but it¡¯s nothing to hide about. Most of the guys from the same class as me a year ago knew about it after all.


    ¡°It was from Rino Uchida¡­¡±


    ¡°Are you serious?¡±


    I nodded with a dark expression, and Hiragi suddenly giggled.


    ¡°Thank you, Kudo. I¡¯m having so much fun.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re a fast switcher, aren¡¯t you?¡±


    She¡¯s the kind of girl that¡¯s hard to grasp.


    X X X


    Yuna side


    Yuna went to the bar where her mother works after talking a lot with Kenichi and exchanging contacts.


    On the way there, some pick-up guys annoyingly bothered her, but she shook them all off and came to the front of the bar.


    But also.


    ¡°Oh! The prettiest JK I¡¯ve ever seen. The most beautiful girl I¡¯ve ever seen, this uncle will give you a lot of money, so why don¡¯t we go somewhere and play with us?¡±


    An old man who looked to be in his forties approached her with a snort.


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s so depressing.¡±


    He came up to her excitedly, not caring about Yuna¡¯s fed up feelings.


    ¡°Uhihihi!¡±


    And then¡­


    ¡°What are you doing to my daughter?¡±


    ¡°Uwa!¡±


    Natsuko came out from inside and kicked the old man in his forties. The old man passed out as it was.


    ¡°That¡¯s rare. For you to came all the way out here.¡±


    ¡°¡­ is it bad if I¡¯m here?¡±


    ¡°Fufu, Yuna is my daughter, so of course it¡¯s fine.¡±


    ¡°¡­ Un.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m about to close, so just wait inside.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    Yuna unusually helped Natsuko with her work.


    Then they closed the shop and the two, mother and daughter, headed home.


    ¡°Yuna.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°What kind of man was it?¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    ¡°Man, I¡¯m talking about the man? What else is there?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°Well, you don¡¯t have to say anything if you don¡¯t want to.¡±


    ¡°¡­ A boy from the same school, a bit older in the face, but he¡¯s kind and doesn¡¯t treat me any differently.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s great.¡±


    ¡°Right?¡±


    And when Yuna deflects her big b*****s with pride, Natsuko smiles with satisfaction and hugs Yuna¡¯s shapely shoulders and pulls them up to hers.


    ¡°Mama?¡±


    ¡°Then you must not miss it.¡±


    ¡°!!¡±


    Yuna was overwhelmed by the mighty appearance of her own mother.


    At the same time.


    A familiar smell tickled her nostrils.


    ¡°I know. I¡¯ll never miss it again.¡±


    Recalling her earlier exchange with Kenichi, Yuna rubs her stomach.


    [Postscript]


    How long will this relationship last?

 Chapter 23

    Today is one day after the day when I had an intense intercourse with Natsuko-san and made up with Hiiragi-san. It¡¯s Friday, and I¡¯m a bit preoccupied.


    Tomorrow I am going to Ayane-san¡¯s house, so I am only eating foods that give me energy. Physical stamina is important after all.


    ¡°Ah, Kenichi-kun! Good morning!¡±


    ¡°Ou¡­ good morning.¡±


    As soon as Yuto and I entered the class, Rino greeted me loudly. She was waving her hands quite eagerly, so her b*****s were swaying and showing off their tremendous heaviness.


    ¡°Huh? Uchida-san just called Kudo by his name, right?¡±


    ¡°Why Kudo-kun and Uchida-san?


    They whispered.


    While the girls were gazing at me with a twinkle in their eyes and admiration, the boys were staring at me with a curse-killing intensity.


    So I hobbled over to my seat and sat down.


    I feel kind of bad for Yuto.


    Then¡­


    ¡°Men who are happy when a girl calls them by their name won¡¯t be popular with the girls.¡±


    Hashimoto said loudly and deliberately.


    ¡°No, seriously, you¡¯re right~ I¡¯m seriously jealous of Hashimoto because he¡¯s so popular!¡±


    ¡°Oh, yeah! I¡¯m having a blind date with some girls from the next school over!¡±


    ¡°Well, well, that was just something I had to do because a friend of mine asked me to go. But after all, the girls in my class are of a high level too.¡±


    Hashimoto said and looked at Rino and the others.


    Yanagisawa, looking rather fuzzy, looked oddly ostentatious, while Kirishima, with her imposingly slanted eyes, smiled wryly. And then there was Uchida¡­


    I could only see her back, so I didn¡¯t see her expression.


    But one thing was for sure.


    Hashimoto and his group were looking down at me and mocking me.


    X X X


    Lunch break.


    ¡°Yuto, let¡¯s go!¡±


    ¡°Ou!¡±


    We were so hungry that we were about to leave class with our lunch boxes in a fury, but then¨C


    ¡°Kenichi-kun!¡±


    ¡°Rino?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯d like to have dinner with you on the rooftop, if you don¡¯t mind. Um, with Kanazawa-kun, too.¡±


    Rino invited me and Yuto Kanazawa.


    Yeah¡­ it¡¯s kinda bad.


    I¡¯m getting a lot of stares from the guys.


    Probably both Yanagisawa and Kirishima will eat together.


    Eating with these three top caste girls will only make your stomach growl.


    And there¡¯s Yuto.


    ¡°Erm, But Yuto prefers to eat alone¡­¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t mind. I¡¯ll join you guys.¡±


    Hey Yuto, I was thinking so much for you, though it¡¯s awkward, you said the exact opposite¡­


    I can¡¯t help but smile wryly.


    But then Hashimoto, a blond, fresh and handsome boy, and his companion suddenly came over to us.


    ¡°Kudo-kun, aren¡¯t you getting a little carried away?¡±


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Suddenly he said those words, which really irritated me.


    But I continued to just stare at Hashimoto, but then he continued.


    ¡°Kudo-kun stands out a little these days. But that¡¯s not very nice.¡±


    Saying so he stared at me with narrowed eyes.


    This attitude of Hashimoto is nothing new.


    The guys and girls in class were now staring at us, forgetting the fact that they were eating their lunch.


    Yuto clenched his fists with frustration.


    After all, those guys are the highest caste group of boys.


    Kirishima, the slanted eyes girl, laughed haha and said,


    ¡°It was Rino who talked to them, and I don¡¯t think Kudo and the others are getting carried away, do you?¡±


    But Hashimoto was unyielding.


    ¡°Lately, I have seen you messing around with Uchida-san, Kudo.¡±


    ¡°Hah?¡±


    Kirishima gave Hashimoto an expression like ¡°Huh? What is he saying?¡±. I looked Kirishima in the eye and shook my face from side to side.


    Kirishima, perhaps sensing my feelings, took a step back.


    I guess this is where I come in.


    ¡°I¡¯ve never messed with Rino. What are you talking about?¡±


    ¡°Ha?¡±


    Hashimoto stared at me with a sharp glare in his eyes in response to my rebuttal. But I was not discouraged.


    ¡°I¡¯m telling you, don¡¯t take the liberty of misunderstanding. It¡¯s rude. Not to me, but to Rino.¡±


    I said in a low voice and Hashimoto wrinkled his brow and started to reply.


    ¡°Just a little bit of talking to a girl makes you so elated, and that¡¯s really why mobs with no experience with women are¡­¡±


    Hashimoto held his head back with a sigh.


    He glanced at me and shook his head from side to side, as if he had a headache.


    I don¡¯t have any experience with women, he says¡­


    I had so much s*x yesterday, you know.


    But I¡¯m not trying to brag about it or diss it in a roundabout way.


    I don¡¯t want to be his kind of guy.


    ¡°Hashimoto, you¡¯re a poor fellow.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°So if you don¡¯t have much experience with women, you¡¯re a mob who isn¡¯t even allowed to talk to Rino? I¡¯m not going to approach Rino if she doesn¡¯t want me to, and I¡¯m not even going to bother her if so.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s the point. Kudo-kun.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s why you¡¯re not popular with the women.¡±


    ¡°Pfft!¡±


    Oh, man, I blew it.


    If it was me before I met Ayane-san and Natsuko-san, I¡¯m sure my heart would have been broken and I wouldn¡¯t have been able to recover.


    After all, I¡¯d been traumatized for a year after Rino¡¯s rejection of my proposal.


    Though now, I don¡¯t think much of Rino anymore.


    Still¡­


    From where I¡¯m sitting right now, I¡¯d say¡­


    Hashimoto was¡­


    ¡°What are you laughing at? Have you lost your mind? Uchida-san, Kudo-kun is dangerous after all. That¡¯s why you should come with me today¡­¡±


    ¡°No, I haven¡¯t lost my mind, It¡¯s just¡­¡±


    ¡°?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re too childish.¡±


    ¡°Huh!¡±


    A vein started to pop in Hashimoto¡¯s face when I told him so. Then he stared at me with a look to kill.


    ¡°Oh, wait, Hashimoto, calm down a bit.¡±


    ¡°Kudo! You¡¯re out of line! You¡¯re a mob! So hurry up and apologize to Hashimoto!¡±


    Hashimoto¡¯s companion said coldly to me, defending him.


    But all I did was laugh.


    Then¡­


    ¡°Hey, Kudo! Why are you ignoring my Line messages? You¡¯re being cheeky. I¡¯m really hungry right now, let¡¯s have lunch together.¡±


    Yuna Hiragi, who is said to be the most beautiful gal in this school, suddenlycame to my class without a second thought and grabbed my arm.


    Then she turned to Yuto and said,


    ¡°You¡¯re Kudo¡¯s friend, right?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll borrow Kudo for a while.¡±


    ¡°Coming up¡­ boiled or grilled?¡±


    Hey, Yuto, aren¡¯t you treating me a bit too harshly?


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, Kenichi.¡±


    ¡°Oh, hey¡­¡±


    Hiragi suddenly called me by name and pulled me by the arm.


    Strangely, my body started to move.


    ¡°¡­ I¡¯ll, also, eat with you.¡±


    Rino, who had been quiet all this time, followed behind us.


    ¡°Hah¡­¡±


    Hashimoto stared at the three of us with his mouth hanging open and a soul-starved look on his face. The reactions of his male friends were similar.


    [Postscript]


    You¡¯re here, aren¡¯t you?


    Someone like Hashimoto in real life.

 Chapter 24

    Hiragi took me to the backyard of the school. This is a place that not many people know about.


    I was sitting in the middle of the bench, Hiragi was on my right and Rino was on my left.


    They were staring at each other, to the point that I could hear a crackling across me.


    ¡°You, why are you following me? You¡¯re being a bother.¡±


    ¡±Hmph~ I called out to Kudo-kun first, so can you get out of my way, Hiragi-san?¡±


    Hiragi gritted her teeth and Rino gave her a stern look.


    ¡°Hey, it¡¯s not a good thing to fight. It makes the food taste bad.¡±


    ¡°¡±¡­¡­¡±¡±


    As I reminded them, they looked down and quietly closed the distance between them and me.


    Thanks to that, two of the finest soft marshmallows then came in a rush from both of my sides, gently wrapping around my body and changing its shape.


    This is bad¡­


    ¡°I¡¯m gonna go get a drink.¡±


    ¡°Oh, I¡¯ll give you some money, can you buy one for me too?¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    I got up from my seat and Rino looked up at me sadly, and Hiragi handed me a 100 yen coin with a nonchalant look on her face.


    I¡¯m glad I forgot to buy drinks.


    This will buy me some time to calm down.


    [Rino & Yuna¡¯s side]


    After making sure he¡¯s gone, they then face each other. Rino and Yuna had looks filled with hostility.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been thinking about it for a while now, but you¡¯re really annoying, Uchida-san.You¡¯re cute but so cynical, and that makes you so seriously irritating to look at.¡±


    ¡°You are the one who has a bad character. I haven¡¯t heard many good things about you.¡±


    ¡°Ha? Rumors are just rumors, you know? It¡¯s really idiotic to take that kind of thing seriously. You¡¯re nothing but trouble for Kenichi. Please stay away from us.¡±


    ¡°I think you¡¯re the one who¡¯s causing trouble.¡±


    They crossed their arms and gave each other murderous glares. It is as if flames were burning from their backs.


    But halfway through, Yuna said something, the corner of her mouth lifting faintly, as if to provoke Rino.


    ¡°Say, so you like, Kenichi?¡±


    ¡°That is¡­¡±


    ¡°See, you can¡¯t answer that right away. I love Kenichi.¡±


    ¡°I-I love him too!¡±


    ¡°Did you tell Kenichi how you feel?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­¡±


    Rino was at a loss for words with a troubled look on her face.


    ¡°I told him. Well, Kenichi took it as if I wasn¡¯t serious, but I¡¯m going to continue to tell him how much I like him. So don¡¯t interrupt me. You¡¯re seriously just in my way.¡±


    ¡°What a selfish thing¡­¡±


    ¡°Because you dumped Kenichi, didn¡¯t you?¡±


    ¡°!!!¡±


    ¡°You dumped him, and then you keep being so vague about it¡­ That¡¯s like killing Kenichi twice. Kenichi is still holding on to the fact that you dumped him, you know?¡±


    ¡°No, no! That can¡¯t be true! Last time I talked to him, he said it was okay.¡±


    ¡°Really, you only think about yourself. All you can think about is getting him to do it for you. Even just now, that creepy blonde was saying terrible things to Kenichi, whom you love, and you didn¡¯t even say anything back. You know, girls like you are my least favorite type.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    Rino bit her lip in frustration as Yuna¡¯s words were unleashed like a machine gun.


    There you go.


    ¡°I got you something to drink.¡±


    Kenichi returned.


    ¡°Ah! Thanks. Hey, Kenichi.¡±


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go eat somewhere else.¡±


    ¡°What? What about Rino?¡±


    ¡°I heard she¡¯s not feeling well, so maybe she won¡¯t make it.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡±


    Kenichi took a look at Rino sitting on the bench.


    Then she turned over with a dark look on her face.


    ¡°Rino, are you okay?¡±


    ¡°Umm, yeah¡­ don¡¯t worry about it.¡±


    ¡°Oh, okay¡­¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go! Kenichi.¡±


    ¡°Oh, hey! Don¡¯t pull!¡±


    Yuna sandwiched Kenichi¡¯s arm between her own huge marshmallows and walked away.


    X X X


    The next day.


    Yesterday, I had lunch with Yuna because of the flow of the conversation. Since we ate at the cafeteria, we also attracted a lot of attention. The guys in particular were pretty rough, but thanks to the stare Yuna gave them, they stopped and backed off.


    By the way, I decided to call Yuna by her name too.


    Yuna really is a strong character.


    Un¡­


    She also looks like someone familiar¡­


    Oops, now is not the time to think about that.


    Because I¡¯m with the Uchida family right now.


    ¡°Come in, Kudo-kun.¡±


    ¡°Ha, yes! Thank you!¡±


    I sat on the living room couch and sipped the tea Ayane-san made for me.


    ¡°The house is really spacious. I¡¯ve never been in a tower apartment before.¡±


    ¡°Oh, really?¡±


    And as I was taking a look around, Ayane-san suddenly sat down next to me and closed the distance between us.


    ¡°Oh, um¡­ Ayane-san?¡±


    ¡°Actually, I have something I want to tell you, Kenichi-kun.¡±


    ¡°Is that about what you wanted to talk about?¡±


    Didn¡¯t she call me to have her computer and other heavy things carried, and also carry her as well to her bed?


    She opened her mouth shyly as I urged her to continue with a look.


    ¡°Actually, I¡¯m a¡­ single mother.¡±


    ¡°Ehh?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve been hiding it all this time, but I still wanted Kenichi to see the real me¡­¡±


    Oh, I thought she was a college student, but I didn¡¯t realize she was a single mother with a child¡­


    She¡¯s so young and beautiful.


    There¡¯s no way a man can leave her alone.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been raising my daughter alone since my husband died¡­¡±


    I see.


    ¡°Not divorce or something, but death.¡±


    That¡¯s just like my family.


    ¡°Kenichi, have you come to hate me after hearing this?¡±


    Ayane asked with a pleading look on her face as she brought my hand to her own bombastic chest.


    For real.


    Ayane-san is¡­


    So cute.


    I couldn¡¯t help myself and so I hugged her tightly.


    ¡°!!!¡±


    ¡°Ayane-san. You¡¯re so wonderful.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe that not only are you working as a writer, but you¡¯re also raising your daughter as a single mother. The only thing I hate about it is¡­ I¡¯m falling more and more in love with you.¡±


    ¡°K-Kenichi-kyun¡­¡±


    Ayane-san buried her face in my chest and rubbed my thigh area with her hand. Then she stood up, pulling away from me.


    ¡°Kenichi, come to my room¡­¡±


    She and I went into the room as told.


    ¡°W-what in the world is this?¡±


    There were sensual novels all around.


    Innumerable trophies.


    And¡­


    Above all.


    The smell of her pheromones was amazing.


    ¡°I¡¯m a writer of sensual novels. Lately I¡¯ve been writing them with Kenichi in mind, but I still want the real thing.¡±


    ¡°A-Ayane-san¡­¡±


    ¡°Come.¡±


    Ayane-san in loungewear¡­


    She keeps staring at me like a snake stalking its prey.


    My body.


    Suddenly it¡¯s getting very hot.

    X X X


    Same time.


    [Rino¡¯s Side]


    Rino was hanging out with Minami Kirishima and Megumi Yanagisawa, after she received tickets to a famous amusement park from her mother, Ayane. She appreciates it but¡­


    ¡­ She wasn¡¯t happy.


    Even though it has only been less than an hour since they arrived at the amusement park, Rino was already sighing constantly, looking dejected.


    The two, who could not have been unaware of this, nodded to each other and spoke to Rino.


    ¡°Rino, can I talk to you for a second?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°Rino-chan¡­¡±


    They both looked at Rino with concern.


    With that said, the three of them came to a cafe in the amusement park.


    ¡°So, what happened yesterday? Explain it in detail.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Rino, you¡¯ve been looking awful all day.¡±


    ¡°S-sorry. We were all looking forward to this amusement park, but¡­¡±


    Rino lowered her head apologetically.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to apologize!¡±


    ¡°Yes. We¡¯re friends!¡±


    Minami, the girl with slanted eyes, waved her hands in the air, and Megumi, who had a soft and gentle look, gave a thumbs-up with all her might.


    Rino looked at these two and thought,


    ¡°I¡¯m glad I became friends with these two.¡±


    So Rino told them the whole story of what happened yesterday.


    ¡°Rino¡¯s at fault.¡±


    ¡°I think it¡¯s Rino-chan¡¯s fault.¡±


    ¡°Mine?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Because Rino has been simpering all along, right?¡±


    ¡°That kind of ambiguity is the most important thing to avoid in a relationship.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    Rino sighed and looked somber after being rebuked by the two.


    She herself had already noticed it.


    Her own self-centered feeling wherein she wants Kenichi to approach her himself.


    Then, Megumi, who seemed to be a soft-spoken person, opened her mouth.


    ¡°Rino-chan.¡±


    ¡°U-un.¡±


    ¡°Rino-chan, are you okay with Hiragi-san and Kudo-san having a relationship and doing lots of lovey-dovey, naughty things?¡±


    ¡°N-no, I¡¯d hate that!¡±


    ¡°And, do you want Kenichi-kun to not make girlfriends, not be nice to other girls, and just stay with you?¡±


    ¡°!!¡±


    The warm-hearted Megumi said something that caught Rino by surprise.


    ¡°I want to go out with Kenichi. Even if Kenichi doesn¡¯t have that intention, I¡¯ll appeal to him¡­ I¡¯ve been really stupid until now.¡±


    Minami responds to Rino¡¯s frustration by making a clenched fist with a smile on her face.


    ¡°That¡¯s right! Well, Rino¡¯s always been on the receiving end of appeals because you¡¯re too beautiful, but you should stop giving a damn about a woman¡¯s pride if it¡¯s for the man you love.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re right¡­ I get it! I¡¯ll never lose to you, Hiragi-san!¡±


    ¡°Yes! That¡¯s the spirit!¡±


    ¡°Go for it! Rino-chan!¡±


    ¡°Un!¡±


    And at that moment.


    Suddenly the power went out.


    ¡°This is an announcement from XX Amusement Park. There is a problem with the power supply. There is no time frame for restoration and tickets will be refunded¡­¡±


    ¡°Oh no¡­ and I was going to play a lot today¡­¡±


    Rino said regretfully.


    The three of them had no choice but to leave the amusement park.


    ¡°Minami, Megumi, I¡¯m sorry. Because of me, we couldn¡¯t¡­¡±


    ¡°No. It¡¯s fine.¡±


    ¡°Never mind, it¡¯s just a power outage.¡±


    And as the two of them looked at Rino with a slight smirk on their faces.


    Suddenly, they both received a phone call.


    As it turns out, they both had family members call and they had urgent business to attend to.


    So Minami and Megumi hurriedly headed home.


    And Rino was left alone.


    ¡°I had planned to play until night today¡­¡±


    Saying so, she sighed ruefully.


    Then, yesterday¡¯s events naturally came to mind.


    ¡°My master, don¡¯t hate this lowly, arrogant female slave¡­¡±


    Rino wiggled her upper body and exhaled hotly.


    ¡°Mou, I will accept any punishment for being an annoyance to you, Kenichi-sama¡­ anything!¡±


    The color of Rino¡¯s eyes has long since faded.


    ¡°This slave who has no sense of humility must spend the rest of her life serving by Kenichi-sama¡¯s side¡­¡±


    Surrounding men stared at Rino with admiration, but never approached her.


    ¡°I should go home then.¡±


    X X X


    [Uchida Residence]


    After parting with them, Rino went straight home.


    Rino was now at the front door.


    Then she heard a strange voice.


    ¡°Nn¡­-kun.¡±


    It was her mother¡¯s voice.


    She breathed a sigh of relief, unlocked the door and went inside.


    ¡°!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡±


    She then heard her own mother¡¯s lecherous voice.


    A voice as a single female that had never been heard before.


    Her mother is a woman, and there¡¯s nothing wrong with having that kind of relationship with a man.


    But¡­


    ¡°Ayane-san. I never thought you would put something bad in your tea, you are such a pervert!¡±


    ¡°Kenichi-kun¡­ I want¡­ Kenichi-kyun. I can¡¯t live without Kenichi-kyun anymore¡­¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s an adorable thing to say. Well, then, I¡¯ll make you even cuter.¡±


    Rino frowned at the conversation coming from her mother¡¯s room.


    ¡°Kenichi-kun?¡±


    Rino got goosebumps¡­


    ¡ª No way.


    The name of the man her mother is desperately screaming for, and a familiar voice.


    ¡ª No, it can¡¯t be.


    With that in mind, Rino managed to move her trembling legs and moved to her mother¡¯s room.


    After she put her hand on the doorknob and opened the door¡­


    ¡°!!!!!!!!!¡± x2


    There was a naked man and woman, connected and exposing their disheveled faces.


    ¡°Mom¡­ Kenichi-kun¡­¡±


    When Rino said that, the two of them twitched their bodies for a moment and looked in the direction of the door.


    ¡°Rino!¡± x2


    [Postscript]


    Ahh¡­

 Chapter 26

    And they made me sit upright, naked, under the bed.


    Ayane-san, who had changed into her loungewear, looked at me and Rino alternately, with a  troubled expression.


    ¡°Why was Kenichi-kun doing something indecent with my mother?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°Say it now.¡±


    ¡°I¡­ I didn¡¯t think Ayane-san would be Rino¡¯s mother.¡±


    I kept my head down and glanced at Rino sitting on the bed. Then I could see her pants peeking out from inside her skirt.


    Top pink.


    No, what the h**l am I looking at?


    ¡°Um, Rino.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Do you know Kenichi-kun?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re in the same class at the same school.¡±


    ¡°Ha?¡±


    Ahh, I¡¯m screwed.


    X X X


    I told Rino everything that had happened.


    That I saved Ayane-san, and then we had a relationship that we shouldn¡¯t have.


    ¡°¡­ You saved my mom. Thank you so much for that. I¡¯ll be sure to repay you later.¡±


    ¡°Y-yeah.¡±


    ¡°But I don¡¯t agree with this! She¡¯s a mother who gave birth to me, an old lady you know¡­¡±


    ¡°But, she looks like she¡¯s just in her mid-twenties.¡±


    As I spoke with an impassioned look on my face, Ayane-san blushed at me.


    ¡°Ara, Kenichi-kun~¡±


    ¡°Mom! What are you embarrassed about?¡±


    ¡°Because Kenichi-kun is a wonderful man¡­¡±


    Ayane-san was very excited from the moment I told Rino what had happened. Probably since I mentioned the fire incident, since she began to squirm, saying things like ¡°Haa¡­ that time Kenichi-kun was so¡­¡±.


    ¡°Mom¡­¡±


    Rino narrowed her eyes and gave her own mother a jittery look.


    I mean, I lied about my age, did she really forget about that fact?


    Rino asked with a straight face as she walked over to Ayane-san, who was sitting next to me on the floor.


    ¡°What are you going to do with Kenichi-kun from now on?¡±


    ¡°I mean. Rino.¡±


    ¡°?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you want a new daddy?¡±


    ¡°What are you talking about?¡± x2


    Me and Rino said in perfect harmony.


    Seriously, don¡¯t even joke about that.


    Well, it can¡¯t be helped I guess. Just a few minutes ago, Ayane-san and I were having intense intercourse after all. We just finished, so there¡¯s still at least half an hour of post-coital reverie, which is making her body twitch.


    In other words, Ayane-san isn¡¯t in the right mind now.


    And the words that come out of her mouth are¡­


    ¡°I¡¯m going to continue as long as it¡¯s okay with you, Kenichi-kun?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    Suddenly, the color of these mother and daughter¡¯s eyes changed and they looked at each other for a moment.


    It was as if they were rivals, and every time their gazes collided with each other, they were crackling with electricity.


    X X X


    At the Cafe.


    The Hiragi mother and daughter, who look like sisters, were having a chat at a certain caf¨¦.


    ¡°And you know what? I¡¯m doing really great!¡±


    ¡°Yuna, you¡¯re always sarcastic towards men.¡±


    ¡°¡­ I won¡¯t do that sort of thing anymore, and, well, I¡¯d say worse to any scum other than Kenichi.¡±


    ¡°Heh, so his name¡¯s Kenichi.¡±


    ¡°Yes! Kenichi Kudo! He may look a little old, but he¡¯s much kinder than the good-looking ones, and he protects me.¡±


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Mama?¡±


    Natsuko frowned and made a thoughtful gesture, and her daughter Yuna tilted her head.


    ¡°Yuna.¡±


    ¡°?¡±


    ¡°Do you know the LINE account of that Kenichi Kudo guy?¡±


    ¡°Oh, we exchanged it the other day~ we communicate almost every day.¡±


    ¡°Let me see.¡±


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    ¡°I just want to make sure.¡±


    ¡°What..? well, whatever.¡±


    Yuna reluctantly took her phone out of her pocket and showed a group chat, but only between Kenichi and herself alone.


    ¡°This professional picture¡­¡±


    Saying that, Natsuko took out her cellphone and immediately compared it.


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°Mama, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°Yuna, Kenichi is my man.¡±


    ¡°Haa?¡±


    Then Natsuko and Yuna spent an hour talking.


    Mother and daughter, no, the two who look like sisters were definitely related by blood.


    However¡­


    The two of them¡­


    Had squinted eyes¡­


    And they were arguing like rivals in love.


    It was so scary that the customers around them were freaking out, and even the manager who came in to stop them was scared.

 Chapter 27

    The morning after tomorrow.


    I feel as if I¡¯m at death¡¯s door.


    The day before yesterday things were really bad between Rino and Ayane-san.


    I thought Ayane-san was angry with me for lying about my age, but she surprisingly forgave me.


    And Rino,  who saw her own mother show her the maturity of an adult,  decided not to take her anger out on me, but still continued to glare at Ayane-san and apply silent pressure.


    I calmed them both down, but it was only a stopgap measure.


    In the end, Rino kicked me out of the house, and I spent Sunday on edge, until now.


    ¡°Kenichi, you look like a zombie today.¡±


    ¡°Ah, ahh¡­¡±


    Yuto looked at me with concern, but I remained silent and kept moving my legs.


    Because I was feeling something dark behind me.


    ¡°Kenichi-kun.¡±


    ¡°R-Rino¡­¡±


    ¡°Did you have fun on Saturday?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    Seeing Rino¡¯s eyes all dead, all I could do was to keep my mouth shut and my head down.


    Then,


    ¡°Kenichi.¡±


    A different kind of dark atmosphere came over me.


    ¡°Yu, Yuna¡­¡±


    Yuna, the blonde gal, glared at me.


    What the h**l are you mad about¡­?


    ¡°Ahaha¡­ Kenichi, you¡¯re a real young man, aren¡¯t you? Sorry to interrupt. See you later.¡±


    ¡°Oh, hey!¡±


    Yuto, you¡¯re just running away because you don¡¯t want to get involved!


    I shot him a vindictive look, but he didn¡¯t look at me anymore.


    Yuna opened her mouth meaningfully to me as I was looking uncomfortable.


    ¡°You and my mom get along great, huh.¡±


    ¡°!!!¡±


    Yuna said something thought-provoking, to which I reacted right away.


    Rino, of all people, followed after.


    ¡°Hiragi-san? What happened to your mother?¡±


    ¡°None of your business.¡±


    Yuna responded to Rino with a dismissive attitude.


    Then Rino suddenly went over to Yuna and gave her an earful.


    ¡°*whispering¡­¡±


    ¡°!!! You, for real?¡±


    ¡°H-Hiragi-san, can you spare some time for lunch? I need to talk to you.¡±


    ¡°¡­ Hmm. Okay.¡±


    The two of them exchanged a conversation which was a mystery and walked away from me at a quick pace.


    X X X


    [Rino & Yuna¡¯s side]


    As soon as they finished their morning classes, they then turned down their respective friends and then came to the backyard, which wasn¡¯t really a popular place.


    ¡°So how do you know that my mama and Kenichi are in love?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s it¡­¡±


    ¡°Answer me quickly.¡±


    Yuna grew frustrated by Rino¡¯s indecisive attitude.


    ¡°Kenichi-kun, he¡¯s very much in love with my mother.¡±


    ¡°Wha? What?¡±


    ¡°Hot-hot passionate love¡­ it¡¯s really starting to make my insides boil.¡±


    ¡°¡­ Are they really that close?¡±


    ¡°They¡¯ve even had s*x.¡±


    ¡°Seriously?¡±


    Yuna widened her eyes in surprise. But eventually, her expression gradually darkens and she then said,


    ¡°So, if he has messed with your mom, then my mama too¡­¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s a strong possibility.¡±


    ¡°¡­ that look on Mama¡¯s face, she¡¯s definitely doing it.¡±


    Yuna looked up at the blue sky and her face contorted.


    Silence falls for a while.


    The sound of sparrows chirping, the sound of boys playing soccer on the field, and the sound of their breathing can be heard.


    These two can¡¯t hate Kenichi.


    Because he protected their family, their one and only precious family.


    Besides, their mother¡¯s appearance is really only mid-twenties, no joke. So there is a high probability that Kenichi probably fell in love with their mother without knowing anything.


    A man whom they wanted to hate but cannot hate,


    Whenever they think of him, their hearts flutter,


    Or rather, thinking of the manliness of the man who saved their mother, made their whole body throb with excitement.


    ¡°Hey, Hiragi-san.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Do you still love Kenichi?¡±


    ¡°What about you?¡±


    ¡°I love him. How about you, Hiragi-san?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    Rino, who had always been vague about her feelings, now said clearly how she felt.


    Seeing Rino¡¯s imposing attitude, Yuna also,


    ¡°Of course I love him! I wouldn¡¯t let my mama take him away from me!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s it!¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    Until now, the two have been at odds.


    As rivals in love, the two were trying to kick each other down.


    But a huge and powerful enemy appeared in front of them.


    ¡°You see.¡±


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    ¡°If we don¡¯t do something, we¡¯re going to lose.¡±


    ¡°¡­ I agree. My mom is so beautiful, and she¡¯s so¡­ much more attractive as a woman than I am¡­¡±


    ¡°My mama is very strong, not only that, she¡¯s also¡­ honestly more attractive than I am. I¡¯m not sure why she hasn¡¯t aged in spite of her age!¡±


    With that said, they both despaired.


    But¡­


    ¡°Hiragi-san! It¡¯s too early to give up!¡±


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    ¡°Because we¡¯re young! And no matter how you look at it, me and Hiragi-san¡¯s mother doing something like that with Kenichi is¡­ still wrong!¡±


    ¡°Uchida¡­¡±


    Hearing Rino¡¯s words, Yuna¡¯s eyes moistened as if she was a little moved.


    And¡­


    ¡°That¡¯s right! We¡¯re young! No matter how attractive those two are, they¡¯re still just old ladies!I mean, what are they doing that they don¡¯t deserve their age? That¡¯s why we¡¯ve to teach Kenichi how good the spiffy JK can be, then we¡¯re all set!¡±


    ¡°Hiragi-san¡­¡±


    ¡°Call me Yuna.¡±


    ¡°Yu, Yuna.¡±


    ¡°Ri¡­ Rino.¡±


    ¡°Yeah.¡±


    Thus a friendship sprouted between the two.


    [Postscript]


    It¡¯s not a good idea to fight, folks.

 Chapter 28

    [Kenichi¡¯s side]


    A cafe after school.


    As I untangled myself from Rino¡¯s hand, confused, I walked quickly to my house, changed into my casual clothes, and then headed for the appointed place.


    It was a pretty stylish cafe.


    Sitting there were a beautiful dark-haired woman and a beautiful blonde woman.


    ¡°Look! They¡¯re so beautiful.¡±


    ¡°College students?¡±


    ¡°Celebrities?¡±


    Almost all of the customers and waitstaff admired their appearance, but the aforementioned ladies didn¡¯t make the slightest move¡­


    Until they confirmed my existence.


    ¡°Kenichi-kun~¡±


    ¡°Too late!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    Ayane-san¡¯s large, watermelon-sized b*****s wrapped in that black knit danced and swayed just  because she waved her hands. And then Natsuko-san, wearing a fashionable shirt, crossed her arms and stared at me (emphasizing her b*****s).


    So I sat down in the seat where the ladies were, keeping my head down.


    Then Natsuko-san opened her mouth.


    ¡°Philanderer.¡±


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    ¡°Well, you saved Yuna, so I don¡¯t think it¡¯s bad.¡±


    ¡°Well, thank you¡­ uu!¡±


    Natsuko-san then put me in a headlock.


    Painful¡­


    Too much softness hits too hard, so I¡¯m suffering in more than one way¡­


    ¡°How many women do you have to save?¡±


    ¡°Ngh¡­n¡±


    Natsuko-san, please release me.


    When I hit Natsuko¡¯s thigh as if to say give up, she twitched and let go.


    ¡°So, what are you going to do, Kenichi?¡±


    Natsuko-san asked me with cherry-red cheeks. Of course, Ayane-san also looked at me with a serious expression on her face¡­


    ¡°I mean, the same as before.¡±


    ¡°Hou¡­¡± x2


    ¡°What is it? That response¡­¡±


    Both of them gave me a stare.


    ¡°Kenichi-kun, you aren¡¯t interested in our daughter?¡±


    ¡°Well, I¡¯m not. And I¡¯m not even close with them.¡±


    Their mouths were half open for a moment at my reply.


    Why are they surprised?


    ¡°I see¡­ I¡¯m glad you feel that way, Kenichi-kun.¡±


    ¡°Well, we are both responsible for behaving in such a way that it seems.¡±


    Eventually, they both chuckled and looked at me.


    ¡°W-what is it¡­?¡±


    ¡°Kenichi.¡±


    ¡°Kenichi-kun.¡±


    ¡°Y-yes.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re not going to keep messing with my daughter, are you?¡± x2


    ¡°Of course! I¡¯ve never thought of it that way! If anything, those guys most likely hate me.¡±


    And the two of them suddenly started giggling when I told them so.


    When I couldn¡¯t catch the flow at all, Ayane-san said.


    ¡°Kenichi-kun.¡±


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t really mind. As long as it¡¯s okay with Natsuko-san.¡±


    ¡°Of course I¡¯m good for it! But on one condition.¡±


    ¡°A c-condition?¡±


    What is the condition that Natsuko-san brought up? And when I looked at her with suspicion.


    ¡°If you have s*x with Yuna, you must marry her.¡±


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    When I was confused, Ayane-san followed suit.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. If you take Rino¡¯s virginity, I¡¯ll have Kenichi-kun marry Rino.¡±


    ¡°¡­ And, if you do it with both Rino and Yuna.¡±


    ¡°Kill.¡± x2


    ¡°Understood¡­¡±


    I was really scared. It was the kind of look that could kill a bug or two.


    ¡°But why marriage?¡±


    When I asked them with a slight tilt of my head, they both mouthed shyly and said.


    ¡°Yuna is my only daughter. So, I want her to be happy. If any man comes along who tries to hurt my Yuna, I¡¯ll cut off ¡®that¡¯ part of him.¡±


    ¡°I feel the same way as you do, Natsuko-san!¡±


    And they both suddenly stared at my crotch.


    Don¡¯t even joke about¡­ cutting that place.


    No, the expression on their face is serious¡­


    ¡°I get it. But I¡¯m really not interested in those two, so¡­¡±


    ¡°Fufu.¡± x2


    They both gave me a bewitching look and just giggled.


    And then¡­


    We headed to the love hotel and had three hours of intense exercise.


    X X X


    [Rino, Yuna¡¯s side]


    Yuna¡¯s House.


    The two who just became friends today came to the Hiragi house looking really friendly. And they were having a strategy meeting in Yuna¡¯s room.


    ¡°Rino.¡±


    ¡°?¡±


    ¡°My mama, Rino¡¯s mom, and Kenichi are in a so-called s*x-friend relationship, right?¡±


    ¡°¡­ maybe.¡±


    ¡°Kenichi has gotten a taste for women, and even if we attack him in a straightforward manner, we¡¯ll probably never win.¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t we go on a date or something, or just tell him how we feel without being too cryptic about it¡­?¡±


    ¡°You know, over there, they do whatever they want every day. It¡¯s a different dimension, you know!¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°So what should we do?¡±


    ¡°All we have to do is become Kenichi¡¯s s*x friend.¡±


    ¡°S-s-s-s-s-s-s-s, sekusu!?¡±


    As soon as Rino heard the word ¡°s*x friend,¡± she widened her eyes and backed away.


    In contrast, Yuna looked somewhat frustrated and impatient.


    ¡°At this rate, Kenichi will be taken from me forever. I definitely don¡¯t want that.¡± Rino received a look from Yuna that seemed to imply that Kenichi was hers.


    Surprised, her stomach got warmer and warmer, and her cheeks turned a little red.


    They were both having very different reactions, though.


    Their magenta and blue eyes captured each other beautifully.


    And the two of them.


    Raised the corner of their mouth slightly.


    [Postscript]


    And the shuraba continues.

 Chapter 29

    Next day.


    I was feeling a little awkward today, the day after having a hardcore time with the two.


    This was because their daughters, Rino and Yuna, go to the same school as me.


    And Rino is in the same class as me.


    ¡°Haah¡­¡±


    As I sighed, Rino looked back at me.


    ¡°!!¡±


    The moment her eyes met mine, she suddenly twitched and looked forward¡­


    Clearly aware of me¡­


    ¡°Oh God¡­ Uchida-san, you¡¯ve been conscious of me lately¡­ could it be that you have feelings for me?¡±


    ¡°No, for all intents and purposes, she was looking at me, you know? Are your eyes just decoration?¡±


    And the guys sitting behind me started arguing.


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    I rested on my chin and waited for the bell to ring.


    X X X


    During lunch break.


    I was in the class, chatting with Yuto while eating lunch together.


    ¡°Yuto, you¡¯re helping out at work again today?¡±


    ¡°Haha¡­ I get paid for my part-time work, so I don¡¯t feel bad, but things have been so hectic lately.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m free today. Do you want me to help you? I¡¯m good at heavy lifting.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s fine! Anyways, I have a feeling that something good is going to happen to Kenichi today.¡±


    ¡°Good thing?¡±


    ¡°Yes. Kenichi has always had a hard time. So I¡¯m sure something good will happen soon.¡±


    Ohh.


    Yuto¡¯s fortune telling tends to be crazy accurate.


    I wonder what¡¯s going to happen today.


    I ate my meal with a flutter of anticipation.


    And the next thing I knew, it was now after school.


    As planned, Yuto left school first to help his father with his work.


    ¡°Good thing, huh.¡±


    I wonder if it¡¯s related to Ayane-san and Natsuko-san.


    Yesterday was seriously already too good to be true, but now there¡¯s more?


    With that in mind, I too took off my jacket and changed my shoes before leaving the entrance.


    Then,


    ¡°Hey, you.¡±


    ¡°Wait.¡±


    ¡°Ha?¡±


    Suddenly two girls tugged on my hands.


    What¡¯s there to hide about? It¡¯s Rino and Yuna.


    The two girls brought me to the less popular spot at the vending machine then released my hands and gave me a serious look.


    ¡°Kenichi.¡±


    ¡°Kenichi-kun¡­¡±


    ¡°W-what is it?¡±


    The two of them soon began to fidget. But then, as if determined, Rino opens her mouth.


    ¡°I love you, Kenichi!¡±


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    I couldn¡¯t believe my ears. And that¡¯s as it should be. Because, from that Rino¡¯s mouth¡­


    ¡°Hey! Rino! Why did you say it first? Ahh, mou! I love Kenichi, too!¡±


    ¡°Yuna too¡­¡±


    I was taken aback when I suddenly received a confession from the two Madonnas at school.


    As I was flabbergasted, they started to explain.


    ¡°I knew I should have told you exactly how I felt from the beginning¡­ I¡¯m sorry I hid it from you until now¡­¡±


    Rino said, her magenta eyes moistening. And Yuna followed.


    ¡°I should have approached Kenichi earlier, too, instead of being weirdly stubborn¡­ Actually, I¡¯ve been in love with you ever since the day you saved me¡­ but instead I said terrible things¡­¡±


    Yuna had a languid expression on her face like a sinner after committing a mortal sin.


    ¡°Ah, no, I¡¯ve already forgotten about it long ago, so don¡¯t look so sad.¡±


    I hurriedly said a few words of encouragement to the girls who were feeling down.


    But¡­


    Rino was,


    ¡°But Kenichi-kun, you¡¯re still going to continue to have an impure relationship with our mothers, right?¡±


    ¡°!!!¡±


    Her sharp words hurt like gouging out my heart.


    Rino continues.


    ¡°That¡¯s why, I¡¯ve decided to be your s*x friend too. So don¡¯t sleep with my mother anymore.¡±


    Yuna, not to be outdone, followed Rino¡¯s lead.


    ¡°Me too! I can make Kenichi happier than my mother ever could! I¡¯ll be yours too! In exchange, you¡¯re not allowed to have s*x with my mom anymore!¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    This is truly a siege.


    If it turns out that I did something naughty with these two, Ayane-san and Natsuko-san will shackle me and my son¡¯s life will be over.


    But I can¡¯t ignore their feelings.


    Give them an answer.


    Tell them. Kenichi.


    ¡°Ayane-san and Natsuko-san told me. I can only have s*x with one of you. And they also said that I should definitely marry the person with whom I have s*x. So I can¡¯t have that kind of relationship with you guys.¡±


    ¡°Wha!¡± x2


    They were both upset.


    Yeah.


    If you dabble in the subject, it will come out in the wind someday. Therefore, it is the right thing to tell things as they are.


    Taking that step, I looked at them.


    And suddenly.


    Yuna¡¯s appearance became strange.


    ¡°Kenichi¡­ why don¡¯t you just¡­ Marry me?¡±


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    ¡°If you marry me, everything will be alright, right?¡±


    As I was perplexed, Rino suddenly snapped out of it and opened her mouth to Yuna.


    ¡°Yuna! What are you talking about! I was the first¡­¡±


    ¡°But, Rino, you dumped Kenichi before, right?¡±


    ¡°! Yuna¡­ saying that again¡­¡±


    Rino replied, but then started to look at my face, perhaps feeling awkward.


    Seeing her like that, Yuna said in a triumphant and confident tone.


    ¡°It was you, not I who dumped Kenchi~ so even if you flip it around now, it doesn¡¯t convey how you feel at all. They call people like you deceivers.¡±


    ¡°¡­ Yuna.¡±


    Rino¡¯s face contorted in despair as Yuna mentioned that.


    ¡°Kenichi? Let¡¯s go! I¡¯ll show you the real me.¡±


    ¡°Huh, Yuna! Don¡¯t pull on me! Hey!¡±


    No matter how much I resisted, Yuna grabbed my arm firmly without altering her complexion and left here.


    [Rino¡¯s side]


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    She was feeling pain in her chest as she watched their backs as they left.


    Even though she was holding back her huge, bombastic marshmallows, this pain doesn¡¯t seem to go away.


    And her eyes.


    Were long since faded.


    The gaze that seems to be overflowing with something black and dusky was still capturing the two who left.


    In a single day, Rino and Yuna¡¯s friendship collapsed.


    [Postscript]


    Yeah.


    It¡¯s a very realistic, very antsy story.

 Chapter 30

    The place Yuna took me was in front of her house.


    ¡°Y-Yuna, what are you doing¡­?¡±


    ¡°¡­I won¡¯t annoy Kenichi by being ambiguous all the time like Rino.¡±


    Saying this, Yuna unlocked the door.


    Of course, there was no one inside.


    I knew Natsuko-san was busy going to the store and preparing for the opening.


    Yuna then beckoned me to her side.


    I walked in with bated breath.


    As I was taking off my shoes at the front door, I noticed a familiar smell wafting through the air. It was my first time in this house, but Natsuko-san¡¯s distinctive smell was still able to tickle my nostrils.


    No doubt.


    Yuna and Natsuko-san are definitely a family.


    And yet Yuna¡­


    ¡°Come.¡±


    With that, she pulled me by the arm and headed to her room.


    When I entered her room, I was struck by the gal-like decor. The room was filled with cosmetics, clothes, accessories, etc. It really looked like the latest JK-esque room.


    I was a little perplexed, but my inner self whispered to me that I shouldn¡¯t let my emotions get the better of me and do something that could be irreversible.


    Yeah.


    This is for our own good.


    ¡°Yuna, shouldn¡¯t you think again before making a decision?¡±


    I told Yuna in a persuasive tone, but she didn¡¯t budge.


    ¡°I decided a long time ago that I want to be Kenichi¡¯s girlfriend¡­ and I¡¯ll do anything to make that happen!¡±


    Yuna preached with a very serious expression on her face, which made me cower my shoulders and look away.


    Her blue eyes were so pure and clear that they made you think there¡¯s nothing false about them at all.


    I looked away and asked, as her overly upright gaze was unintentionally painful to me.


    ¡°¡­ I¡¯m not like most boys, I have an old face, right? I thought you liked hot guys.¡±


    ¡°Kenichi.¡±


    I said confidently but Yuna called my name in a calm tone. So I conditionally look at her beautiful face again.


    Looking at it again, it¡¯s really beautiful.


    She¡¯s not called the prettiest and prettiest gal in school for no reason¡­


    ¡°I was like that at first. Whenever I went out with a guy, if he wasn¡¯t good-looking, I didn¡¯t treat him like a human being.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re a terrible looker.¡±


    ¡°¡­ Because my dead dad was really cool too. But he cheated on us all the time and was a real scumbag. But I was still always looking for someone like him¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    I see. Yuna has a past like that.


    ¡°All the boyfriends I¡¯ve had have been nasty, dark, and really, really sleazy animals who were only interested in my body.¡±


    ¡°I see.¡±


    ¡°But Kenichi is an exception.¡±


    ¡°Me?¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t treat me special at all, you don¡¯t look at me like a scumbag¡­¡±


    ¡°O-ou.¡±


    Well, I guess it¡¯s thanks to Ayane-san and Natsuko-san that I can have a proper discussion with her, but let¡¯s not worry about that right now.


    ¡°And you¡¯re so sweet and protective of me, so when we¡¯re¡­ together, it¡¯s kind of super calming.¡±


    Ah, wait, it¡¯s a little embarrassing to hear her say that out of the blue¡­


    I was confused, but Yuna didn¡¯t want to let me go. She caught me with a very straight gaze and gave me a passionate look.


    Seeing her like that, I suddenly remembered what happened a year ago.


    Rino¡¯s expression was very cold and distant at that moment.


    Not that it really matters now, but for some reason, I found myself comparing Yuna and Rino.


    I don¡¯t really like to compare people, but strangely enough that scene popped into my mind.


    I¡¯ve never had a classmate express such passionate feelings for me.


    It¡¯s a different novelty from that time with Ayane-san.


    Yuna continues, while swaying her upper body, with her big b*****s, a bit.


    ¡°So I can give my virginity to Kenichi¡­ There are a lot of guys after my body anyway, and I wanted Kenichi to have it as soon as possible, but¡­¡±


    Yuna teared up in the middle and looked at me sadly.


    ¡°Kenichi doesn¡¯t seem to like me much, so¡­ it¡¯s kind of sad.¡±


    ¡°!!!¡±


    I felt like I¡¯d been hit in the back of the head with a blunt instrument.


    Sure, when I first met her, I thought she was a really rude, jerky, cocky girl.


    But seeing her want me this badly¡­


    I felt as if something sleeping in my heart was awakening.


    It is a shame for a man not to have a meal.


    So I gently devoured Yuna¡¯s sad lips.


    ¡°!!! K-Kenichi¡­¡±


    ¡°Seriously¡­. Yuna. You, you should realize how cute you are.¡±


    ¡°¡­ I-I know I¡¯m cute. But am I cute for Kenichi too?¡±


    ¡°Of course you are!¡±


    ¡°!!! I-is that so¡­¡±


    ¡°Yuna.¡±


    ¡°Y-yes!¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going to happen now that you¡¯re getting me all worked up.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    She looked away from me and nodded modestly.


    Therefore, I.


    I reached out my hand without hesitation to her bombshell-sized b*****s and grabbed them in an eagle grip. At the same time, I caught Yuna¡¯s back with my free hand and held her toward me.


    ¡°K-Kenichi¡­ it¡¯s my first time, so please be gentle¡­¡±


    ¡°Yeah.¡±


    I took her in a princess carry and set her down on the bed.


    Me and Yuna were in uniform.


    But¡­


    Yuna.


    She totally had a woman¡¯s face.


    I used all the techniques that Ayane-san and Natsuko-san had taught me and


    Yuna¡¯s body.


    Thoroughly.


    I devoured it.


    And the promise I made to Ayane-san and Natsuko-san was long gone from my mind.

 Chapter 31

    [Yuna¡¯s side]


    Yuna was still reeling from the aftermath of her union with Kenichi.


    The things that she did with Kenichi earlier made her a now complete woman.


    She started to feel ashamed of herself for cursing men as beasts.


    But there was one thing that she learned today.


    That there are both bad and beasts in the world.


    And the good beasts,


    Are the ones that would lead her to pleasures and happiness she had never experienced before.


    ¡°!!¡±


    An hour had passed since the deed was done.


    Kenichi had just left because he had some business to attend to.


    Currently, she was in the bed where she had just had an intense intercourse with him. She sniffed his pheromones and exhaled in a truly s**y way.


    ¡°Haah¡­¡±


    ~It really was a great decision to be honest about my feelings.


    I¡¯m going to be with him from now on.


    That¡¯s not all.


    But I can build a happy life with my boyfriend too~.


    Yuna smiled and took a picture of her bed with all sorts of things on it.


    And that¡¯s for¡­


    ¡°Fufu, I win?¡±


    She hummed and sent the photo to Rino.


    X X X


    [Rino¡¯s side]


    Rino¡¯s room


    ¡°W-what is¡­ this is¡­¡±


    The picture Yuna sent her was enough to plunge her into the crucible of despair.


    A sheet stained with a magenta liquid similar to the color of her own eyes, and a number of rubbers.


    ¡°I¡¯m going out with Kenichi~¡±


    Even though she was already shaken up, this message was like a kicking of the corpse, so to speak, for her.


    My heart hurts.


    So pathetic of me.


    I was in the same class as Kenichi this year, and I had more opportunities to get to know him better than Yuna.


    But I was..


    ¡°It was you, not I, who dumped Kenchi~ so even if you flip it around now, it won¡¯t convey how you feel at all anymore. They call people like you deceivers.¡±


    Am I a deceiver?


    Am I a bad person?


    ¡°¡­ If I had accepted his confession a year ago.¡±


    Rino bit her teeth and regretted it when she remembered what had passed.


    But¡­


    ¡°Heh¡­ hahaha¡­¡­¡±


    Rino whispered something with eyes that had suddenly lost it¡¯s color.


    ¡°All I have to do is take it away from her¡­ because,¡±


    After a pause, she continues, dressed in her uniform.


    ¡°All the female protagonists in the novels my mom writes do that too, so¡­¡±


    Rino exhaled deeply, clutching her own chest.


    ¡°Mom¡¯s not home yet, so let¡¯s read it all now¡­¡±


    Rino then took out her phone and launched an e-book app.


    The screen showed a number of listed book titles.


    ¡°I¡¯m A Widow, But I¡¯m Pampered By The Son Of A CEO With A Child.¡±


    ¡°A Woman Who Loves To Snitch A Married Handsome Actor¡±


    ¡°I Love You, So I¡¯m Gonna Take It All Away.¡±


    and so on¡­


    Most of them were NTR stories, and Rino has long been a big fan of the sensual novels her mother writes.


    In other words, several worldviews of this NTR sensual novel were imprinted in Rino¡¯s head.


    Though Rino had zero experience with love.


    You could say she learned about love through these novels.


    The reason she had been so ambiguous with Kenichi up until now was because¡­


    She felt her inner self whispering to her that it was because it wouldn¡¯t be that interesting until he had a girlfriend.(E/N: Are you the female version of the MC of Stealing Spree?!!)


    ¡°¡­ Kenichi-kun.¡±


    She, who mentioned his name.


    Was looking more debauched than ever, and her heart was racing with the force of an explosion.


    X X X


    The next day.


    Hiragi House.


    ¡°For real?¡±


    ¡°Yes. I¡¯m serious.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    Since I had taken her virginity, it was only natural that I should take responsibility. That¡¯s why I decided to go out with Yuna.


    She reported it to her own mother, Natsuko-san, and I was called in, and here we are.


    ¡°Did you really bang my daughter with the intention of marrying her?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­¡±


    ¡°Mama! That doesn¡¯t matter now! So don¡¯t have s*x with Kenichi anymore!¡±


    ¡°¡­ Yuna.¡±


    Natsuko-san helplessly mentioned her own daughter, her name, and then she glared at me.


    But.


    Eventually.


    ¡°Hmm¡­ fair enough.¡±


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    Natsuko-san readily acknowledged our relationship.


    But then,


    ¡°Buh!¡±


    Natsuko-san¡¯s fresh punch made a critical hit to my stomach.


    As I was groaning, unable to breathe.


    She gave me an earful.


    ¡°I¡¯ll kill you for real if you don¡¯t use contraception.¡±


    ¡°Yi-yes¡­¡±


    Yuna complained to Natsuko-san in a panic when she saw me being blown away.


    ¡°Hey! Why did you hit him? Kenichi didn¡¯t do anything wrong!¡±


    ¡°Ha? What are you talking about when you stole someone¡¯s s*x life!¡±


    ¡°¡­ I feel bad about that though.¡±


    Yuna looked remorseful.


    Natsuko-san then sighed very annoyedly and looked at me and Yuna alternately.


    At first, she looked intimidating, but now she looked nervous, as if she¡¯s breaking out in a cold sweat.


    ¡°Mama? What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°I-it¡¯s nothing¡­¡±


    I, while holding my stomach, and Yuna looked at Natsuko-san and tilted our heads slightly.


    Well, let¡¯s just say it¡¯s approved for now, shall we?


    [Postscript]


    Titles are important.

 Chapter 32

    I was very concerned about Natsuko-san¡¯s confused reaction as I left the Hiragi house.


    ¡°Yeah¡­ Yuna is my girlfriend from now on. And her mother approved of it.¡±


    Honestly, based on looks alone, I can¡¯t say that me and Yuna are very balanced.


    But that¡¯s to be expected.


    Because she¡¯s the cutest gal in the school.


    My first love ended in failure, but now the true meaning of pink spring is finally coming to me, I suppose.


    That¡¯s what I was thinking as I walked.


    ¡°My mom said she¡¯s going on a trip with her friends today. Guess I should just go buy some sushi at the supermarket and return home.¡±


    I mumbled and went to the shopping street.


    (¡­ A mysterious shadow was following Kenichi)


    X X X


    In front of the house.


    I bought a bunch of stuff from the supermarket and as I was about to unlock the door, I felt a disturbing feeling in the air.


    So I turned around as a conditioned reflex.


    There, I saw¡­


    ¡°!! Rino!?¡±


    Rino was standing behind me.


    ¡°Oh, Kenichi-kun. What a coincidence.¡±


    ¡°No, it can¡¯t be a coincidence¡­ because this is my house.¡±


    ¡°I happened to see you, so I followed.¡±


    ¡°Uh-huh.¡±


    ¡°Why are you looking away?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    I looked away for two reasons.


    First, I¡¯m already dating Yuna, so it¡¯s a little awkward for us to be alone together like this.


    And the second is.


    Because the intimidation that came from her facial expression seemed so overwhelming.


    ¡°Kenichi-kun? Why are you trying to avoid me?¡±


    ¡°¡­ No, I wasn¡¯t trying to avoid you. Just.¡±


    ¡°Just?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m going out with Yuna. It¡¯s a little bit like, you know, being alone in front of my house¡­¡±


    ¡°Is your mother not at home?¡±


    ¡°Yeah. She¡¯s traveling with her friends today, what¡¯s that?¡±


    I twisted my head slightly and asked, and Rino, dressed in her school uniform, smiled at me with her hands folded behind her back.


    ¡°Kenichi-kun.¡±


    ¡°W-what?¡±


    ¡°Do you know what snitching is?¡±


    ¡°Snitching?¡±


    I asked back, and Rino didn¡¯t answer, instead she unclasped her hands behind her back.


    Then, in her right hand, she was holding a stun gun.


    ¡°W-what¡¯re you¡­ ugh!¡±


    And I passed out after a taser attack from Rino.


    X X X


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    I found myself lying on the bed in my room.


    When I woke up.


    A tremendous feeling of exhaustion came over me.


    I looked around the room, rubbing my eyes, wondering what the h**l had just happened.


    ¡°Ara, Kenichi-kun. You¡¯re awake?¡±


    ¡°Ah, yeah. I mean, why is Rino in my room?¡±


    I asked Rino as I lay there.


    But,


    I frowned, unable to wait for Rino¡¯s reply.


    ¡°!!¡±


    Because.


    Because the whole room was filled with strong and thick pheromones.


    ¡°Rino! What did you do to me?¡±


    When I asked her seriously, Rino, with her lower body trembling, opened the window of my room and then moved her glossy lips.


    ¡°Fufu. We¡¯re finally united.¡±


    ¡°H-hey¡­ no way.¡±


    Rino brushed back her glossy black hair and caught me with her magenta eyes.


    I had reached the limit of awkwardness so I removed my gaze from her and looked at the sheets of the bed.


    There was a stain on it, the same color as her eyes.


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    And I was sitting there with my mouth hanging open.


    ¡°Kenichi! Open the door! Kenichi! You and Rino are alone, aren¡¯t you!¡±


    I heard Yuna¡¯s voice from below.


    So, I managed to move my exhausted body and headed for the entrance.


    And when I opened the door.


    ¡°Kenichi¡­¡±


    ¡°Yuna¡­ how did you know this place? I never told you.¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter!¡±


    ¡°No, it matters!¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t care about that¡­ Rino! Come out!¡±


    Yuna, furious, looked inside the house and shouted. Then Rino appeared as if she had plenty of time to spare.


    ¡°Ara, Yuna, what¡¯s happened?¡±


    ¡°What happened, you say? Who do you think you are, sending me a video of you having s*x with my boyfriend while he¡¯s passed out? You¡¯re harassing me to death!¡±


    ¡°As expected, stealing is the best.¡±


    ¡°Stealing, what?¡±


    ¡°Ahh¡­ I¡¯ve grown to like Kenichi-kun more and more after this¡­¡±


    ¡°Y-you¡­¡±


    Yuna gritted her teeth and glared at Rino.


    And¡­


    ¡°You cat burglar!!!¡±


    She tried to jump on Rino.


    But someone quickly approached Yuna and held her down.


    A beautiful, well rounded body that looks familiar.


    Healthy looking wheatish skin.


    Yeah.


    That is no doubt.


    ¡°Mama?¡±


    ¡°Yuna¡­ calm down.¡±


    Natsuko-san said in a low tone to calm her down.


    And then I heard a familiar voice behind me.


    ¡°Ara-ara, Rino, you¡¯ve been reading my sensual novels I see.¡±


    ¡°Mom¡­ of course. Mom¡¯s sensual novels, they¡¯re so good that I even read each one of them 30 times.¡±


    ¡°¡­ I knew it. Blood runs in the family.¡±


    Even Ayane-san came.


    No, I never even gave these two my home address, how did they get here¡­


    And as I look at Ayane-san and Natsuko-san in turn, puzzled, they open their mouths with a sad look on their faces.


    ¡°Shall we go inside?¡±


    ¡°Because we have something we want to tell everyone, including Kenichi.¡±


    Their faces were too serious for me, so I let the ladies¡¯ momentum push me and I ended up letting them all come inside.


    [Postscript]


    Yeah.


    They¡¯re in.

 Chapter 33

    ¡°Kenichi-kun.¡±


    ¡°Kenichi.¡±


    ¡°Kenichi-kun.¡±


    ¡°Kenichi.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    The four of them squinted at me, calling my name.


    I felt like seeing something pitch-black coming out from behind these four, but maybe it¡¯s just my imagination.


    ¡°You really have some nerve to have s*x with my daughter, Kenichi-kun.¡±


    ¡°No wait, at least I¡¯m innocent this time!¡±


    I buzzed my hand as fast as I could, and Rino opened her mouth.


    ¡°Mom, I love him, so can you please stop bothering us anymore?¡±


    No, no, no.


    You were raving about your mother¡¯s sensual novels earlier, but you¡¯re flip-flopping too fast.


    ¡°Rino!!! What are you talking about? He¡¯s my boyfriend!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve only been going out with him for a day. Why are you acting like you¡¯re his girlfriend?¡±


    ¡°Because I am!¡±


    ¡°Hey, you two, calm down¡­¡±


    Rino, the black-haired pretty girl, and Yuna, the blonde-haired pretty girl gal, were staring at each other intensely.


    Ayane-san, Natsuko-san, can you please intervene? They¡¯re your daughters, right?


    And when I shifted my gaze to the two mothers, for some reason these beautiful mothers looked troubled.


    ¡°Yuna, I knew we shouldn¡¯t have had that talk about yesterday. You should stop going out with Kenichi.¡±


    ¡°Ha? What are you saying, Mama? Don¡¯t tell me you still have feelings for Kenichi?¡±


    ¡°I thought it would be better that way for you, Yuna¡­¡±


    ¡°No way, you¡¯re just completely interjecting your personal feelings, aren¡¯t you, Mama?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    Natsuko-san looked away, fiddling with her blonde hair.


    ¡°And Rino, I still don¡¯t think it¡¯s a good idea for you to have that kind of relationship with Kenichi either.¡±


    ¡°Mom¡­ why don¡¯t you find another good-looking guy for yourself?¡±


    ¡°That is something I can¡¯t do.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    Ayane-san answered with a yandere face for a moment, but then she seemed to have thought of something and sighed with a pensive look and a huff.


    Seeing them, Yuna said triumphantly,


    ¡°Seriously! What¡¯s wrong with you two, aren¡¯t you not old enough yet! Just because you¡¯re beautiful doesn¡¯t mean you can beat the young me! No matter how hard you try, an old lady is still an old lady!¡±


    As I was distracted by her overly large b*****s, Rino, next to me, responded.


    ¡°Yeah, age is important.¡±


    What is it? The two of them didn¡¯t get along with each other very well just a few minutes ago, but at times like this, they seem to get along perfectly.


    As I was pulling away, Ayane-san and Natsuko-san nodded their heads as if they had made up their minds, and then said to their daughters,


    ¡°You can¡¯t beat us, Rino.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t get too cocky, Yuna. Otherwise, you¡¯ll get hurt.¡±


    The girls continued, oblivious to their mothers¡¯ advice.


    ¡°Men like young women.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. We¡¯re JK. How can we lose? To you, sore losers.¡±


    The daughter gave them both a challenging look.


    But Ayane-san and Natsuko-san¡­


    Took something out of their pocket.


    And then showed it to the two of them.


    There were two white bars with two lines on it.


    ¡°¡­¡­¡± x2


    It is important to use protection, always take that in mind¡­
