Chastity Reversed: Part-Time Life by the All-Girls High School

The morning after yesterday.

“Alright then, cheers!”

“Cheers!”

In my house, the clinking of bottles echoed.

With Baban Eats… I placed a huge delivery order. Don’t underestimate me, a guy working part-time at a convenience store three to five times a week.

Of course, this was a celebration.

“This is delicious!”

She laughed as she stuffed her mouth with food.

“That final thing was perfect. Koharu, you could be an actress.”

“…Oh, stop it! You’re praising me too much!!”

The finale. That declaration she’d made to seal things.

I picked the line that would hit Shota the hardest, but honestly, even knowing it was an act made my heart race a bit.

[Don’t ever come near me again.]

[Got it…]

After that, the little punk was crushed. Apparently, Shota couldn’t stand up to his parents. He was an honor student on the surface, showing his true colors only to her.

So—if the “events of today” were revealed, he’d be finished with the recorded data.

“As long as Inoue-kun doesn’t do anything, I won’t either.”

She was kind, some might say too lenient. She had the strongest card but chose to keep it safe and say that.

If she wanted to, she could have easily dragged Shota down to hell.

“Fountain drink cola is good too, but bottled cola is the best!”

“Mix it with melon, and it’s surprisingly good.”

“Haha, you have a childish side after all.”

“Childish… I’m still a sophomore in high school.”

“What!?”

“It’s a huge no-no to guess a guy’s age as older.”

“Oh! I’m sorry!!”

“Well, I don’t mind, so it’s fine.”

We laughed while enjoying pizza and cola. Yeah, this combo really was the best.

“…But Sato-san, you have this mature vibe. You know so much.”

“Well, I don’t know more about baseball than you, do I?”

“That’s true, but…”

She commented as she ate her delivery spaghetti with a fork… Certainly, coming to “this world” had given me a lot of experiences.

“To me, you’ve changed more, Koharu.”

“Eh, really?”

“Yeah. You’re the complete opposite of when you were groveling to me back then.”

“! Th-that’s embarrassing…”

She blushed with embarrassment. Ah, so nostalgic. It was hard to believe this was the same person from just three days ago.

“The current Koharu is impressive.”

“!”

“I guarantee it.”

It wasn’t just flattery. Honestly, I thought I might have to help with the conversation with Shota, but there was no need. She stood up to him head-on. Even when he pulled out a stun gun, she had already won “verbally”.

A complete victory.

“I’m here because of you, Sato-san.”

“My pleasure.”

“…Uh!”

She straightened her posture, suddenly serious.

“I’m going to play baseball again.”

“Oh. That’s great.”

Well, she was good at it to begin with. It was only natural. It’d be a waste if she didn’t—

“—At a different school.”

“What?”

“Actually… in middle school, I got an offer from a strong school team. I declined, though.”

“R-really?”

“Yes. Back then, I thought it wasn’t for me… but now I feel differently.”

That must have been a big decision. Her eyes showed no hesitation.

“Yesterday, I called the person who invited me and asked about it.”

“There’s paperwork for the transfer and entrance exams, plus I’m rusty. They said if I’m serious, I should expect a tough time with practice and studying, but they’d be happy to have me. My parents also said as long as it’s my decision, it’s fine.”

“So I’ve decided. Because Sato-san changed me, now it’s my turn—to try my best.”

She declared confidently, looking straight at me.

“I’m serious about aiming to become a pro.”

The girl who once said “someone like me” was gone.

“…I see. Go for it, Koharu.”

“Yes!”

“So today, it’s on me. Eat up.”

“Eh!? Are you sure?”

“You can pay me back in the future. You’re going pro, right?”

“T-the more I think about it, the more anxious I get.”

“Hey!”

The two of us laughed while enjoying the meal, savoring the time that flew by.

It was precious and important.

…Starting tomorrow, she’d be busy. And if she went to a faraway school, we wouldn’t see each other anymore. If she was aiming to go pro—there wouldn’t be time to hang out.

“Sato-san?”

Ah, damn. It was lonely, but I couldn’t show that kind of face. I had to smile so she could leave happily.

‘I’m a guy, and you’re a girl.’

No matter how much the world changed, I couldn’t change this thought. I therefore decided I wouldn’t.

“…Nothing. I just thought, if you were that good at leading ‘at night’, you’d make a great catcher.”

“That’s not related at all!”

“Haha.”

“But. W-want to try?”

“You were a virgin just three days ago, yet now you’re acting all confident.”

“You… I’ll make you cry!”

“Alright, I’ll get serious too…”

“Huh?”
