I Got Dumped by My Childhood Friend Fiancée Who I Didn’t Even Like, I Thought I Could Finally Have a Peaceful School Life… But Then I Got Targeted by SS-Class Beautiful Young Ladies - Chapter 30

Chapter 30: [This Isn’t a Chastity-Reversal World] The Almost-Abs-Eaten Incident

I stood there with my upper body completely bare, not a single thread on me—just how I was born. And right in front of me, three heiresses stared with these pure, unclouded eyes, looking way too interested.

They were gazing at me so intensely, practically licking me with their eyes, that even though nobody had actually touched me yet, my skin felt all ticklish… super itchy and uncomfortable in the weirdest way.

For dozens of seconds, the three of them stayed completely quiet, just letting their eyes wander over me like they were appraising some piece of art on display, trying to figure out its value.

All three of them had a faint blush creeping across their cheeks—I’m pretty sure that wasn’t just my imagination.

…This was less embarrassing and more just straight-up awkward.

One thing was crystal clear, though: the vibe in here was unbearable.

I couldn’t take the mysterious silence anymore and started scrambling in my head for something—anything—to say, but before I could, the blonde heiress broke it first.

“—Um, uh… Yoichi-kun, did you… like, do any sports or anything?”

“…Huh? Nah… not really…”

“Then… maybe some kind of martial arts…?”

“Martial arts too… uh, nope, not that either… I guess. Wait, why’re you asking…?”

Her sudden barrage of questions made me fire one right back.

Then Charlotte, Rei-senpai, and Azusa all flicked their eyes away for a second, exchanged quick looks with each other, before turning their gazes back to me.

“No, it’s just… we were thinking Yoichi-kun’s body is way more… manly than we imagined…”

Charlotte said it while swallowing hard, her throat moving visibly.

That statement was so obvious it almost hurt. I frowned a little and tilted my head.

“Well yeah… I’m a guy. What… wait, were you actually thinking I might be a girl or something…?”

“N-no! That’s not what I meant at all! It’s more like, um…”

She was being super vague and roundabout. Still trailing off like that, she kept her eyes locked straight on me—specifically on my now-bare upper body—and slowly, step by step, started closing the distance.

When she got close enough that I could call it right in my face, Charlotte reached out with her slender right arm… and the next second, her fingers made direct contact with my skin. Right around my chest area.

“…!”

Her fingers were unexpectedly cold. My shoulders jumped on reflex.

Charlotte kept going, tracing the lines of my muscles downward with this dreamy, entranced look on her face.

“Such nice muscles… everything’s so tight and toned, no extra fat anywhere. And yet your pecs are still nice and thick…”

“Um… Tachibana-san?”

“The way the muscles attach from your shoulders down your arms is so natural and balanced too. And the definition in your abs is super clear… haa. To think there was a view like this right here all along…”

“Uh, that’s kinda scary… and you’re talking way too fast…”

She was rattling off praise while letting out these sweet little breaths, like she was gushing about her favorite anime. Pretty sure she couldn’t even hear me anymore.

While I stood there stunned, Azusa let out a slightly exasperated sigh, gave a wry smile, and spoke up.

“Haa… look, I figure you don’t know, so I’ll just say it—Charlotte-chan’s a total muscle fetishist, okay?”

“…Huh?”

“Can’t you tell just by looking? …See, right now. She’s literally about to chomp down on Yoichi-kun’s abs.”

Azusa jerked her eyes and head downward, signaling me to look.

I followed her gaze—and sure enough, just like she said, Charlotte had her mouth open, leaning in like she was seriously about to take a bite out of my stomach.

“Muscles this perfect… I’ve always wanted to taste them at least once… Well then, itadaki—”

“—Hey!! What the hell are you doing!? That’s not food!! Get off me right now!!”

“Nooo! Don’t interrupt my meeting with these muscles!!”

“Move—!!”

She was spouting total nonsense while clinging to me and refusing to let go.

I tried prying her off by force… but it was honestly bizarre. For someone who’s obsessed with muscles, she sure didn’t seem to have any herself, yet no matter how hard I pushed, she didn’t budge an inch. If anything, the more I struggled, the tighter her hug got. She was basically a snake at this point…

“Hurry up and let go…! Hey, you two! Stop just watching like it’s entertaining and do something!!”

“Eh~? But it’s honestly kinda fun to watch?”

“Yep. And hey, if you’re gonna ask somebody for help… there’s a proper way to do it, right? Ahh, I feel like if someone praised me right now, I might just turn super nice and helpful~ Right, Rei-chan?”

“Mm-hmm, totally~ I really wanna get complimented by Yoichi~”

Azusa and Rei-senpai both flashed these devilish, teasing smirks while saying it in the most fake-innocent voices.

If I just praised them unconditionally, it’d probably come back to bite me later somehow—but whatever. No choice. My back was literally against the wall here. Actually, if this kept up, I’d get eaten before I even had the chance to worry about later.

“…! Ugh—fine!! Rei-senpai, you’re so considerate and cute!! Azusa, you’re great at lightening the mood and you’re cute too!! So please help me out!!”

Even if “cute” was just thrown in there for the moment, the rest was pretty much straight from the heart. I yelled it from the bottom of my gut right at the two of them.

And I guess my desperation actually got through.

They both muttered “Geez…” under their breath, then sloooowly shuffled over and helped pry Charlotte off me.

And so, my abs narrowly escaped being devoured.

After that, they ended up taking me to a separate room for the measurements anyway. While some stranger ran a tape measure and weird machines all over my body, even though club activities had barely started, I already felt mentally drained to the core.

By the way, once the measurements were done, Charlotte—who’d calmed down completely by then—apologized for the abs-eating attempt. But according to her, she had zero memory of trying to actually bite me.

Hearing that, I came to a deep, heartfelt realization.

I needed to be on guard around the Tachibana heiress in a completely different way from before. Like, waking up one day to find my back muscles missing? After seeing her in that moment, it honestly didn’t seem impossible.

Well, at the very least, I’m never gonna let my guard down and expose my skin in front of her again.

…Probably.

No—definitely—

…Probably.
