I Reincarnated to a Chastity Reversal World Where Men Can’t “Do It” After They Turn 30 - Chapter 44 - This Warmth in My Heart [Aobami Rei’s POV]

Chapter 44 – This Warmth in My Heart [Aobami Rei’s POV]

[Aobami Rei’s POV]

I felt as if Suzuki-san’s words hit me like a critical hit.

Every time he compliments me in his gentle voice, my heart starts beating faster.

“That’s good!”

I never knew being complimented by a man could make me so happy…!!!

A man said I looked pretty and lovely…

It was the first time a man had ever said something like that to me.

I pretended to be calm, but deep inside I was so excited.

I never expected to feel this way.

Every word he said pierced my heart deeply, and every time I heard it, I was overwhelmed with joy.

I never knew that Suzuki-san would compliment me so much…

After the date simulation, I tried to keep my cool in front of Suzuki-san, but deep inside, I felt his kindness warming my heart.

“Great work today, Suzuki-san. I’m looking forward to seeing you again next time.”

“Thank you very much. I look forward to seeing you again next time.”

After parting ways with Suzuki-san, I took a sigh of relief.

The time I spend with him is truly precious, and it is an opportunity for me to grow.

It seems I didn’t fully understand men either. I almost feel like skipping from how good I feel.

As I was feeling elated, a familiar woman stood in front of me.

Shiratori Yuna-san, the next head of the Shiratori Group, which is backing Suzuki-san.

She smiled at me and approached me.

At that moment, I felt a chill run down my spine.

“Hello, Aobami-san.”

“Yes, hello Shiratori-san. Is there something I can help you with?”

I felt there was some intention behind her smile, but I couldn’t read her true intentions.

The way she looked at me made me feel like I was being stared down by a lion——just as Suzuki-san had described his difficulties in understanding her behavior.

“I’ve been waiting to talk to you for a bit. Do you have some time?”

“Of course!”

I accepted her invitation and we went to a nearby cafe.

“So Aobami-san, how was the date with Uncle?”

She knew everything!

“We weren’t on a date! It was just practice!”

I ended up talking louder and faster.

“Fufu, why are you so flustered? I just wanted to hear your thoughts.”

“…I see. Well, it was a very fulfilling time. I’m doing my best to support Suzuki-san in various ways.”

Shiratori-san elegantly sipped her tea while listening to me.

She looks prim and proper, and I could tell I was being manipulated by her, who is younger than me.

Unlike me, she exudes elegance naturally, and I couldn’t help but feel inferior.

[Shiratori Yuna’s POV]

I was secretly grinning to myself, trying to figure out what kind of woman Aobami Rei-san is.

Uncle has an uncanny ability to attract women without even realizing it.

As the legal wife, I have to manage the women around him properly.

To do that, the hierarchy has to be clear.

Hanai Anju-san was a very cute and innocent girl.

Aobami Rei-san is older and she’s capable at her job.

Since she knew Uncle before me, I have to make the hierarchy between her and me very clear.

But in some ways, she seems to have the same personality as Uncle.

She doesn’t understand my way of thinking and seems confused.

“Hey, Aobami-san. Are you…”

“Yes?”

“…a dirty pervert?”

“W-what!?”

“Fufu, oh my, did I hit the mark?”

“…T-that’s considered power harassment…”

“Fufu, I’m not your boss or superior, Aobami-san.”

Her response made me laugh. Seeing Aobami-san blush after being caught off guard, I couldn’t help but find her really interesting.
