I Was a Loner Who Tried Finding an Otaku Friend on a Matching App and Ended Up Matching with the Number-One Beauty Who Won the University Miss Contest - Chapter 8-9

Chapter 8: The Pure Miss Contest Queen Who Loves Erotic Light Novels

Even though a lot happened right after we met, somehow I managed to become light novel friends with Amane-san.

When we entered the café, we were led to a table seat in the back.
We sat facing each other at a slightly spacious table.

Since it was still before noon, there weren’t many customers, and the place felt very quiet and calm.
The only sound that reached our ears was the faint jazz music playing inside the shop.

“It’s a quiet café with a really nice atmosphere.”

“Yeah, right? After all, this is my regular go-to café.”

Amane-san puffed out her large breasts with a little “hmph” and showed off a smug, proud look on her perfectly shaped face.

I didn’t really understand what the “after all” was about… but the way she looked so smug about it was honestly kind of cute.

Maybe because she had opened up to me earlier, Amane-san’s personality felt a bit different now…
Or maybe this was actually the usual Amane-san?

“Oh, and today everything’s on me! Order whatever you want, anything at all!”

“Eh… no, that’s too much. We can just split the bill.”

“Come on, don’t say that! I’m the senior here, so just leave it to me!”

She lightly patted her large breasts again with a little pon while saying that.

Could you please stop thrusting your breasts out or patting it every single time?

Every time that big breasts bounces, my male instincts automatically drag my eyes straight toward it.

“Ah, or what is it, Akito-kun? Do you actually hate being treated? Are you one of those super high-pride types or something?”

“What do you think I am on the very first day we met? I don’t have that kind of pride. But still…”

“But still?”

“Usually, isn’t there this unspoken rule that the guy should be the one paying? I was actually thinking I should do that today…”

“The guy should? Hmm… Well, sure, if it’s a boyfriend you’re dating, then yeah, maybe you have to pay, but—”

B-boyfriend…

Come to think of it, does Amane-san have a boyfriend?

If she does, then even if we’re just friends, hanging out with a guy like me might actually be bad for her.

The boyfriend of a Miss Contest Queen is practically guaranteed to be some super muscular, perfect alpha guy.
If he ever found out, I might get beaten to a pulp…

Since this could affect how we hang out from now on, maybe I should at least check.

“Um, Amane-san… do you actually have a boyfriend or anything?”

“Boyfriend… huh. Akito-kun, it’s probably better if you don’t ask about that kind of thing.”

Suddenly her tone became much calmer compared to before.

Oh crap! Asking about a boyfriend was way too personal, wasn’t it!

Especially since Amane-san is like the idol of the university, there’s no way she’d carelessly tell someone about her boyfriend.

“Ah, sorry for asking something weird—”

“Anyway… even if I did have a boyfriend, I wouldn’t get excited reading super perverted light novels! It’s precisely because I don’t have a boyfriend that I read this kind of genre to let it all out! You get how I feel, right?”

“Huh…?”

Oh. So she’s actually on the “no boyfriend” side…

The way she snapped just now was completely the attitude of someone in the same boat, and for a completely different reason, I ended up feeling sorry again.

“But someone who won the university Miss Contest… normally you’d think they’d be super popular with guys. How come you don’t have a boyfriend?”

“T-that’s… well, um…”

“?”

Amane-san looked guilty and hid her face behind the menu.

“I-I went to an all-girls boarding school all the way through high school, so… I never really had a proper romance or anything… And then, if people started spreading rumors that even though I’m the Miss Contest Queen, I’m bad with guys… it would be so embarrassing… so that’s why I don’t get a boyfriend.”

Compared to her smooth talking earlier, Amane-san was stumbling over her words quite a bit now.
Although her face was hidden behind the menu, her ears had turned noticeably red.

There’s really no need to feel that embarrassed about it…

“I thought the same thing earlier, but the one who’s actually the super high-pride type here is you, Amane-san.”

“Hey! What do you think I am on the very first day we met! I don’t have that kind of pride!”

Completely the opposite situation from before.

“Um… should we just talk about the super perverted light novels instead?”

“You don’t have to be so careful around me!”

For the time being, we ordered coffee, and finally started talking properly about light novels.

“So, Akito-kun, what light novel did you bring for me?”

“Ah, should we exchange already?”

“Yeah. I’m totally ready. Look.”

Amane-san boldly placed volume 4 of the TS Breast Milk series — the one with a half-naked, extremely erotic elf illustration on the cover — right on the table.

Why don’t you at least put a book cover on it!?

This girl… maybe she really should go back to high school and relearn how to act ladylike.

“What’s wrong? Come on, show me the light novel you recommend, Akito-kun.”

“Y-yeah… okay then.”

I carefully took one light novel out of my tote bag and handed it to Amane-san.

“T-this light novel is…!”

Chapter 9: The Miss Contest Winner Sipping Coffee While Holding an Erotic Light Novel with a Beautiful Face

The book I handed to Amane-san was a single light novel wrapped in a book cover.

“Th-this is…!”

“Please, I’m begging you, don’t read the title out loud! I’m really begging you!”

“This is ‘I Sucked the Boobs of S-Class Beauties in Another World and Even Sucked Up Their Cheat Skills’, right? Aka ‘Opasui’.”

“I told you not to read it out loud!!”

Even though she was trying to keep her voice down, Amane-san still muttered the outrageous title toward me in a low voice.

‘I Sucked the Boobs of S-Class Beauties in Another World and Even Sucked Up Their Cheat Skills’ was a hugely popular web novel that had been turned into a light novel. It was currently one of the most popular titles in the new genre that was taking over the light novel industry called “breast milk series,” standing shoulder to shoulder in popularity with “TS Breast Milk.”

“I knew Amane-san liked TS Breast Milk, so I thought you would probably like this one too. Have you maybe already read it?”

“No, no! Opasui is still an unread series for me. I’ve wanted to read it for so long, so I’m really happy!”

Even though I was recommending a light novel, if she had already read it, it wouldn’t mean much. So I was glad it turned out to be a series she hadn’t read yet.

“By the way, Akito-kun, you really like boob-sucking light novels, huh?”

“You’re the last person who should be saying that, Amane-san!”

On this point, neither of us was really in a position to talk.

“The coffee hasn’t come yet… Can I read a little bit?”

“Uh… of course.”

Amane-san took Opasui from me and started reading it with eyes that were practically devouring the pages.

A girl beautiful enough to win first place in the Southeast University Miss Contest was sitting in this moody café reading an extremely erotic light novel.

Was a chaotic situation like this really okay?

“Hey mama, what’s that?”

“Don’t look anymore. That’s the scene where the elf says the classic ‘kukkoro’ line while receiving a super lewd punishment. Just forget you saw it.”

The mother and child sitting at the table next to us were pointing at the book on our table.

It was the fourth volume of TS Breast Milk that Amane-san had brought… Wait!

Oh no! I forgot that Amane-san’s TS Breast Milk didn’t have a book cover on it!!

I quickly shoved it into my bag and bowed my head toward the mother and child.

“Amane-san! Why didn’t you put a book cover on it before bringing it here?! I just got really embarrassed!”

“…Hey, wait, I’m at a really good part right now.”

“Hey—!”

The Miss Contest first-place winner was so focused on the erotic light novel that she wouldn’t listen to me at all.

When the coffee was finally brought over, Amane-san at last put Opasui down and began elegantly sipping her coffee.

The way she looked right then was so graceful that it was hard to believe she had just been reading a boob-sucking light novel moments earlier. At least on the outside, she perfectly proved she really was a beautiful girl.

“Mmm… Yeah, the balance between bitterness and acidity in the coffee here really is perfect. It’s the best.”

“Didn’t you just dump a ton of sugar in it a minute ago?”

She was saying something that sounded mature, but it seemed Amane-san couldn’t actually drink black coffee.

I really couldn’t tell whether she was supposed to be the mature type or the childish type.

But still… knowing the hidden side of someone as beautiful as Amane-san when no one else does… somehow that made me feel a little happy.

“By the way, Akito-kun. There’s one thing I’ve been wondering about.”

“What is it?”

“Um… are you going to keep using the matching app?”

“…Huh.”

That was a blind spot. It was a question I hadn’t even thought about.
