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

“Why are you here?”

I worked from 7 AM, with a small break in between, until 4 PM. After an invigorating workday… I was chugging an anti-energy drink (what I called something that improved sleep quality) in front of the convenience store.

It was then that again, a delinquent girl squatted in the shadow of the parking lot, legs spread out. Yes, it was indeed her.

“Shut up.”

“Did you go to school?”

“…”

“You did. Hmm. And it seems like you didn’t smoke, nice job. Well, not really. This is the ‘A delinquent helps a dog’ phenomenon… better watch out.”

“It’s because you said so!”

“Then get a perfect score on the test.”

“…”

Oh, don’t go silent. Are you really going to do it? If I told her to go to Tokyo University, would she actually do it?

“Tokyo U—”

“Are you kidding me?”

“Sorry.”

…It looked like I made her mad. This one was on me. My apologies.

Even in this reverse world, university rankings were mostly the same. Tokyo U and Kyoto U weren’t as low as a 30 deviation score.

“Tch…”

“So, what brings YOU to the convenience store?”

“…”

“To see me? I’m flattered.”

“No way!!”

“Whoa, you’re too loud!”

Delinquents not only had loud bikes but loud voices, too. I was the one who got calls about noise complaints.

“I’m off work right now. Don’t cause trouble for the manager, okay?”

“…W-wait a minute.”

“?”

“A k-kiss!”

“What?”

No way, was she still hung up about that incident from last time?

“I held back because getting ‘excited’ would have been a problem.”

“Uh…”

I see, so that was how things were. She still wanted to insist that I was the prey here.

“This is Ai Touse, of the strongest Rose Lily Brigade… Rose Garden, and I can easily handle any guy—”

“What’s that?”

A new kind of tongue twister?

“I’m saying, as part of Aimei’s strongest unit, the Rose Lily Brigade, the Rose Garden, I’m not going to lose to a guy!”

“That’s a cool name (not).”

“Yeah, right?”

“Combining roses and lilies seems like a bad idea.”

“That’s why it’s good!”

“Uh, okay…”

Everyone’s values were different. Even if one ended up hiding their face in a pillow in the future, that was none of my concern.

“Well, good luck with it. I’m heading home to read.”

Biographies of great figures from other worlds were fresh and interesting. In this world’s Sengoku Era, most of the generals were women. Who was Oda Nobuna—wait, wasn’t this supposed to be Nobunaga? Surprising revelations kept happening.

“Hey, don’t leave!”

“What?”

“I’ll give you a kiss.”

“This is a convenience store.”

“Doesn’t matter. It was here during the day too.”

“…Is it okay to give your first kiss to some random slut?”

“It’s not my first!”

“When was it then?”

“In kindergarten…”

“That doesn’t count…”

Don’t say that with such a serious face. This was starting to feel like a hassle.

“Ah, come on, hurry up. Cheek, lips, forehead, whatever.”

“…”

“Ten, nine, eight…”

Once again, her face turned bright red, but this time, she seemed determined.

“Ugh…”

She decided to close her eyes to hide her embarrassment. At this rate, she might end up kissing my nose. Maybe that was her thing? Everyone had their own preferences.

Now, where would she choose to kiss—

“There, I did it!”

“The answer is my finger.”

“What?”

“Sigh… This is honestly worrying for your future.”

“What did you—”

“Hey, look this way.”

I gently turned her chin towards me.

No customers were in front of the store, and I didn’t feel any eyes on us—

“!? Mmm…!”

Outside the convenience store, in the shadows, just the two of us.

Soft lips met. It got hot, as if they were melting together. We parted before fully melting. It was so brief, less than a second.
