I Was Reincarnated as a Mob in a Completed School Rom-Com Manga, and When I Tried My Best to Cheer Up the Broken Losing Heroines, I Realized I Had Surpassed the Original Story - 31

Chapter 31: Cultural Festival (Suzu Chadani)

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Konno-san’s ragged breathing reached my ears and cheeks. Upon closer reflection, since the bottom half of my face was covered by fabric, perhaps the hurdle wasn’t all that high if it was done over that.

“Ah, make sure to remove the cloth from around your mouth, okay~?”

The photographer’s single remark shattered my faint hope. It seemed Konno-san had been thinking the same thing as me. With her escape route cut off, she suddenly began to tremble. The tension transmitted from her hand on my shoulder.

“Konno-san, maybe we should just apologize honestly after all.”

“No way…”

“But…Your hand’s shaking…”

“This much is fine…”

The next moment, something unexpectedly soft touched my cheek. Soft and squishy, warm with the comforting sensation of someone’s body heat. Her lips had touched my cheek.  It felt as though her body temperature was flowing through my cheek and spreading throughout my entire body. After a few shutter clicks, the photographer gave the OK sign.

When Konno-san pulled her lips away, her face was as red as a blazing sun. I was probably in the same state as her. 

“That’s a wrap on the shoot. Good work~”

As the photographer said that, the staff guided us back to the changing room once more. Along the way, we couldn’t even manage small talk, let alone look at each other. I finished changing first and waited outside the classroom for Konno-san to return.

“Ah, there you are!!”

The familiar voice echoed from down the hallway. Before Konno-san appeared, my sister came charging toward me at full speed. The pain in my side from earlier flashed back in my mind. Getting caught by my little sister at this time would be bad. If Konno-san came out right now and my sister saw that photo, I had no idea what she’d do to me this time. So I ran. I bolted. I just wanted to get away from there, no matter what. Running on autopilot, the place I ended up was, by some twist of fate, the student council room.

“G-Kurosaki-kun, wh-what’s with the sudden—!?”

The only one inside was Chadani-san, her face full of surprise.

“No time to explain! Sorry, please hide with me!”

In a total panic, I grabbed Chadani-san’s hand and ducked into the janitor’s supply locker. In that space, far too cramped for two adults, various parts of our bodies pressed tightly against each other—a fact I hadn’t yet noticed at the time.

“Kurosaki-kun, please explain properly!? Dragging me into a place like this… What do you plan to do to me…!?”

“Shh…!!”

I clamped my hand over Chadani-san’s mouth to silence her. At that moment, bang—the door flew open with force, and Moe entered the room; I could confirm it through the locker’s narrow gap. Holding our breath and waiting, Moe glanced around the room before giving up and leaving.

“Phew… Sorry, Chadani-san.”

When I released the hand I’d been holding over her mouth, her eyes were brimming with tears, visible even in the dim locker.

“Haa… haa… haa…”

Perhaps from the discomfort, her breathing was rougher than usual. And above all, we weren’t just close, the distance between us was practically zero. 

“Sorry, I’ll get out now…!”

As I reached to open the locker, Chadani-san raised her voice to stop me.

“Wait…!”

“Wh-what is it…?”

“Kurosaki-kun… What did you have in mind, bringing me in here…?”

“I’ll explain once we’re out of here…”

“No… Tell me now, right here…”

Chadani-san abruptly pressed her index finger to my lips. In the dim light, her expression was melting like cheese fondue. Her ragged breathing and trembling voice echoed right nearby, sharpening my dulled senses across my entire body. My right arm was probably squished firmly against Chadani-san’s surprisingly ample chest, and one of her legs ran between mine—though the reverse was true as well.

“But first, we should get out of here…”

“I thought you were more of a gentleman, Kurosaki-kun…”

“Sorry, you might not believe me in this situation, but I’m just a hopeless virgin…”

“After something like this, I don’t think I can hold back anymore…”

“H-Hold back from what…?”

“Don’t make me say it, you jerk…”

Behind those glasses, her eyes held a bewitching allure so seductive it made me wonder if another world lay within—far removed from her usual serious student council president demeanor. It was like she’d become a different person. Even if I wanted to escape, Chadani-san’s arms had already wrapped around my body like restraints, locking me in place.

“Chadani-san!? If I’ve caused a misunderstanding, I’m sorry! I seriously didn’t mean it like that…!”

“Misunderstanding…? Then how do you explain this thing that’s been pressing against my hip this whole time…?”

Chadani-san deliberately moved her leg up and down, stimulating my weak spot.

“Th-that’s, well, I’m a guy too, so it’s unavoidable… I’d really appreciate it if you didn’t tease me so much…”

“No way…”

Was she enjoying this? Now she shot me a provocative glance. With no choice since she wouldn’t relent, I tried to adjust my position myself, only for my leg to apparently stimulate her in turn.

“Haa… nn♡”

Along with a lewd cry, my right leg was suddenly squeezed tightly between her thighs.

“Sorry! That wasn’t on purpose either!”

With an expression on the verge of melting away, Chadani-san whispered in an upward gaze, the kind of gaze that absolutely captivated me. 

“You’re such a pervert, Kurosaki-kun…”

What is this?

In that instant, it felt like all my rationality flew out the window. And before I knew it, both my hands rested on her shoulders.
