Chastity Reversed: Part-Time Life by the All-Girls High School - Chapter 79: Chastity Reversed: Part-Time Life by the All-Girls High School

It felt like I had just woken up from a very pleasant dream.  

[Goodnight, Manager.]

That was the voice I remembered hearing.

He was someone who worked tirelessly—perhaps too much. A boy who seemed mature yet carried an air of fragility.  

But in the dream I just had, he was the complete opposite.  

Sato-kun had acted like a child, leaning on me for comfort.  

It was a side of him I had never seen before.  

“…Mm…”  

Yes, just like this.  

In my arms—  

“—Huh?”  

Wait.  

What had I been doing yesterday?  

I remembered going out for drinks.  

And then?  

I had gotten completely drunk, lost all sense of judgment.  

…Wait.  

What happened after that?  

Wait.  

Wait.  

Wait.  

“—Whaaaa?!”

A scream escaped my lips, one I didn’t even recognize as my own.  

There he was—in my arms.  

Breathing softly, peacefully, like an angel.  

“…”  

I needed to dump a bucket of water over my head or something.  

There was still a chance this might all just be a dream!  

☆  

“I’m a criminal. I’m a criminal. I’m a criminal…”  

And so, the Manager had completely broken down.  

I had somehow managed to drag her out of there, but she hadn’t stopped chanting those words.  

It was before opening hours.  

In the office, she sat, mumbling like a curse under her breath.  

“Hey, what’s up with her?”  

“Not sure (Not my problem).”  

“…Now that I think about it, didn’t you two show up together this morning?”  

“Yeah, we did.”  

“…Why?”  

“Why, indeed (Avoids eye contact).”  

“…”

Hokuto-senpai gave me a rare skeptical glare.  

There was no way I could admit we had come from the same house.  

After what had happened, I had fallen back asleep in the Manager’s apartment.  

When I woke up, the first thing I saw was her kneeling on the floor in a deep bow.  

I swear, nothing happened!

It was like one of those odd relationships where people just slept next to each other—what was it called again? “Sleep friends”? Yeah, no way those were ever just that (bold claim).  

Anyway, nothing had actually happened last night.  

“By the way, Sato, wasn’t today supposed to be your day off?”  

“Well, seeing the Manager like this, I figured I’d cover her shift.”  

“Seriously? That’s a big help, but… Wait. How did you know she was ‘like this’?”  

“Ah.”  

“…You know what? I don’t even want to ask anymore.”  

“That’d be great. Thanks.”  

I couldn’t deny that I bore some responsibility for not stopping her drinking last night.  

Then again, it wasn’t like I hadn’t let it happen on purpose.  

“I’m the worst. I’m the worst. I’m the worst…”  

“Yeah, she’s a lost cause right now.”  

“Right?”  

“Shino Sasaki… reporting for duty to turn myself in. Time for my television debut!”  

“Hey, what about this store?!”  

“The Assistant Manager will probably get promoted.”  

“Why are you so calm about this?”  

Because, of course, I wasn’t going to let her turn herself in.  

“Manager.”  

“…?”  

“I’m here right now because of you.”  

I owed this woman a debt I could never fully repay.  

She had reached out to me when I was at my lowest.  

She had given me a place where I belonged.  

She had always looked out for me.  

She might have been a little eccentric, but she was genuinely kind and a good person.  

“—I really like you (daisuki) alot, Manager. If you weren’t here anymore, I’d cry.”  

I smiled at her as warmly as I could.  

“…”  

“Sato… that’s… that’s dangerous talk…”  

“It’s the truth.”  

“…”  

“Hey, don’t get the wrong idea! I said I ‘like’ you, not ‘love’ you, okay?! Right?!”  

“Of course. (Smirks) It’s just the Manager, after all.”  

“…”  

“Ugh, nothing I say is helping!”  

There was no way I could ever be a match for her.  

She was highly educated, earned a great income, had an amazing figure, and even her personality and voice were divine…  

Oh, and she wasn’t a virgin, right? Add to that a beautifully graceful nape.  

I hoped she had a pure and proper relationship and went on a honeymoon that spanned around the world a hundred times!

“Alright.”  

It was almost opening time.  

I straightened my uniform and checked my name tag.  

“Alright, let’s start with getting the shelves stocked—”  

Beep-beep-beep

“Welcome~!”  

And so began another busy day at the convenience store in front of Aimei High School.  

This was the place the Manager had given me—a place to belong.  

“…Sora Sato. There you are… (panting).”  

“Wait, you’re not a customer—you’re the Vice Manager. What are you doing here? You’re not even on shift.”  

“I… finished it… The new game… (panting heavily).”  

“Whoa! That’s amazing!”  

“It’s all thanks to you, Sora Sato. Eighty percent of the ideas were yours.”  

“You’re giving me way too much credit. Is this set in that reversed world I mentioned?”  

“Yes. It’s about a convenience store assistant manager who gets transported to the reversed world and constantly ends up in… compromising situations!” (proud grin)  

Uh… that was pure wish fulfillment. At least you’re honest about it!  

“It’s a little too blatant, but… sounds fun. I’ll buy it.”  

“I’ll give it to you for free. It’s the least I can do.”  

“Really? Thanks!”  

“Yeah! The title is—”  

Though she looked ready to drop dead, her eyes sparkled eagerly.  

“—[Chastity Reversal, In Front of the Boys’ High School, Assistant Manager at a Convenience Store]!!”  

“Whoa, can’t wait!”  

“And now I’m working on the ‘reverse’ version.”  

“You mean the one I suggested before?”  

“Exactly. This time, a guy from ‘that’ world comes over here and gets into ‘compromising situations’!”  

I could definitely empathize with that protagonist.  

That was going to be one hell of a ride.  

“What’s the title for that one?”  

“Oh, that’s easy—”

Author’s Note:

And so, the story concludes (for now)!  

Thank you all for reading over the past two months.  

There’s still so much more to explore—Kanatan and Akari’s future, the protagonist’s past—but this feels like a good place to take a break.  

It’s been an absolute joy seeing all your comments and support. Honestly, you’ve made this project far more fulfilling than I ever expected.  

Here’s hoping we’ll meet again someday!  

May more stories about chastity reversals flourish! (whispers)
