I'm a Kept Man for the Three Most Beautiful Girls in School - Chapter 08: Waking Up from a Long Dream

Chapter 08: Waking Up from a Long Dream

“…L-Let’s calm down, Karasuma-san.”

“I’m calm.”

“No, it’s just… something feels off about the atmosphere.”

Karasuma-san leaned her weight against my abdomen, removed her mask with slender fingers, and slowly brought her face closer.

(Could she really be planning to kiss me!?)

But instead, she brought her face close to my ear.

“Hmm, I think this was bound to happen sooner or later, for us.”

(What does she mean!?)

A shiver ran through me. Her sultry whisper directly tickled my ear.

“It’s unfair for you to hear that, Kyosaka. The boy is supposed to lead the girl.”

Karasuma-san gave a playful smile, her long, straight black hair swaying gently.

“Uh… but…”

I was flustered, like a pigeon hit by a peashooter. Without wings, I had no way to escape. Karasuma-san watched my reaction with amusement.

Without her mask, her face was incredibly beautiful and seductive. Kissing such a stunning girl, I felt like I’d never be able to return to being an ordinary guy.

“Kyosaka, you’re so innocent… then I’ll take the lead.”

“W-Wait, Karasuma-san.”

“If I wait, will you lead, Kyosaka?”

Her warm breath reached deep into my ear, sending a shiver of pleasure racing up to my brain. My mind turned to mush, and I felt like my facial features were melting away.

“Kyosaka, are you listening?”

“…Y-Yes.”

(Why am I being so formal?)

Karasuma-san’s slender fingers sensually traced from my cheek to my neck. 

My heart pounded so hard, it felt like it might go out of rhythm.

(…!)

No, this isn’t good. 

If she keeps taking the lead, things might get out of hand.

“Um… I think we should separate. Ono-san and Daigo-san could come back at any moment.”

I managed to say something reasonable, and Karasuma-san let out a small giggle.

“I’m doing this because we don’t know when they’ll be back. I thought we could sneak a kiss while they’re not here.”

“Huh?”

“Am I not attractive?”

“No, it’s not that… you’re incredibly attractive, and my heart is racing, but… um… this isn’t right.”

“I want to do it with you, Kyosaka. Not just a kiss… but beyond that.”

“Are you serious…?”

Karasuma-san nodded firmly. 

She wasn’t joking.

Her sweet scent was making my head spin. I felt like I was about to drown in a whirlpool of pleasure.

It was like sinking into a deep sea where I would never surface again.

A part of me wanted to drown.

My overwhelmed brain had already made that decision, but my last bit of reason was keeping me sane.

“Kyosaka, you’re not doing anything wrong. But since this is a paid job, you’ll listen to my selfish requests, right?”

(Paid job…?)

I repeated her words in my mind, remembering why I was here.

At the same time, the chains that had been holding back my actions started to break, one by one.

That’s right. This is part of the job. 

 Since I’m getting paid by the hour, I have to fulfill Karasuma-san’s requests to earn my wage.

“I can only ask this of you, Kyosaka. If you take my first kiss, I’ll grant you one wish. Is there anything you want me to do for you?”

I was getting paid, receiving Karasuma-san’s first kiss, and even getting one wish granted. It was all so overwhelming, it made my head spin.

“Um, on the contrary… is there anything you want me to do for you?”

“No, that’s fine. I don’t want to impose on you…”

“Then I won’t ask you for anything either. It doesn’t feel right.”

“So… no kiss?”

“Why me?”

I blurted out what I was thinking.

“I like how, even though I’m making the first move, you don’t take advantage of it. That part of you, Kyosaka, is something I really like. Boys like that are rare, and to me, Kyosaka, you seem more special than anyone else…”

Karasuma-san blushed and smiled, gazing deeply into my eyes.

Ugh. I’m just a coward. 

As a guy, I’m missing something important, the courage to make a move.

But if I let go of my restraint…

“I-I’m a man too. If I did it, I’d probably be obsessed with you, Karasuma-san.”

“…Huh. Then let’s see. I’ll check if that’s true.”

“W-Wait, ah—”

With a soft kiss, my mind went blank.

Nothing special was happening. Our lips just touched.

Yet, this simple act filled my mind with overwhelming happiness.

It felt like breaking through the atmosphere and floating in space. I’ve never been in a rocket, but it must feel like this.

“Mm… mmm—”

Karasuma-san pressed her soft chest against me as she deepened the kiss.

…How long did our lips stay together? About ten seconds?

Her luscious lips slowly parted from mine.

“…Yeah. Now I can’t stop thinking about you.”

“…I feel the same way.”

Falling. They say that for a reason. 

Both Karasuma-san and I had reached a point where we couldn’t turn back.

“Is it okay if I’m on the bottom…?”

“Y-yeah… it’s fine.”

What makes this feel so good?

We fumbled around, switching positions, and now I was straddling Karasuma-san. 

Just looking down at her from above gave me a surge of dominance. Her completely blissful face stirred something primal in me.

I had never considered whether I was dominant or submissive, but maybe I have a sadistic side.

There’s so much I don’t know, and learning scares me, but I still want to move forward.

When faced with a door to a new world like this, I always feel some kind of fear. That’s my weakness.

“It’s hot, Kyosaka.”

“Y-Yeah.”

“Unbutton my shirt.”

Karasuma-san commanded me.

Even I understood what was about to happen.

Facing this surreal situation, I gulped.

I started unbuttoning her blouse, one button at a time. By the fourth button, I could see the white valley of her chest, wrapped in a black bra. It moved gently, like pudding, with her breathing.

“It’s still hot… unbutton one more?”

“N-no, I can’t go any further.”

My emotions had been racing ahead, but now my reason caught up, sounding alarms.

“Can’t you?”

I felt like I was getting lost in the depths of Karasuma-san’s eyes.

“Just do it. I’ll take responsibility.”

“W-Wait… that’s something a girl should never have to say, right?”

“Fufu, if you understand, then unbutton it. Kyosaka, you do it.”

It was like a spell, words so enchanting they stripped away my rationality.

There was no way a supporting character’s magic resistance could withstand the charm spell cast by the main heroine.

“O-okay.”

Just as I resolved to unbutton the last button—

—Thud. Rustle. 

The sound of a can dropping and a plastic bag crinkling.

“Hey~ HEY?”

“Seems like you got ahead of us. Maybe I should have stayed behind alone.”

I turned towards the voices, my face likely as pale as a ghost.

There stood Ono-san and Daigo-san, holding convenience store bags.

“Chikage~?”

“Ah, sorry, Tsukasa, Sakurako. I got carried away.”

Karasuma-san, still straddling me, smiled provocatively at Ono-san and Daigo-san.

“Maybe you two should separate now.”

Ono-san suggested gently but seriously.

Daigo-san, expressionless like a statue, stared at me through her glasses.

(They’re… mad, right?)

Karasuma-san and I quickly separated and sat back on the sofa.

Ono-san and Daigo-san sat down on either side of us, effectively trapping us.

“Alright, it’s time for an interrogation.”

“Interrogation time.”

“”…””

It felt like a scene from a detective drama. But this was the result of my actions, and I couldn’t deny it.

Besides, if I didn’t handle this well, it might create a rift between the three of them.

“I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I asked Karasuma-san to kiss me, and she agreed.”

“K-Kyosaka?”

Karasuma-san looked at me in surprise.

Yes. As a man, I have to take responsibility. I can’t let her bear it alone.

“So Okeihan, you’re saying you made the first move on Chikage?”

“Yes.”

“Really? You’re not lying?”

“Yes.”

Ono-san looked back and forth between me and Karasuma-san, then let out a sigh.

“This is my house.”

“Yes. I’m sorry.”

“Starting like this on the first day, the job might be off the table.”

“I understand. That’s why I don’t want you to blame Karasuma-san.”

“…Sakurako, what do you think?”

“Tsukasa is giving up her claim. Chikage and I will take care of Kyosaka-kun, so Tsukasa can step back.”

“W-Wait, why am I the one getting blamed here?”

Ono-san waved her hands frantically.

“Sakurako, nice idea.”

“I think Chikage did well too. But blaming Kyosaka-kun isn’t right.”

“Haha—sorry, sorry. I leaned on Kyosaka too much.”

“Okeihan, you see…”

“Y-Yes.”

Ono-san whispered to me.

“It’s just an act. I have to pretend to be mad or Chikage might get out of control again.”

“…Oh, um. Okay.”

Ono-san and Daigo-san seemed to know Karasuma-san’s personality well. 

Their bond was strong, without any need for me to protect anyone. For someone like me, with few friends, their relationship felt fresh and a bit enviable.

“But it’s unfair for only you two to have fun. I want to get close to Okeihan too.”

Ono-san said, pouting like a blowfish.

“Me too.”

“I got the first kiss, though.”

“Eh? Really? Okeihan, seriously?”

“Uh, yeah…”

“Then Tsukasa can get his first time. I’ll take the last turn for everything.”

“Wait, what!?”

F-First time?

The conversation was moving too fast for me to keep up.

It felt like a B-grade movie plot.

I was overwhelmed by their conversation and stayed silent.

“Um… shouldn’t we take things slowly?”

“Just be quiet, Okeihan.”

“Don’t worry, Kyosaka.”

“Kyosaka-kun, you’re already guilty, so you have no say.”

True, I couldn’t argue that. I had kissed Karasuma-san, and that was an irreversible fact.

Having wished for it myself, I couldn’t make any excuses and didn’t intend to.

So, whether by fate or chance, I ended up in a relationship with the three most beautiful girls in school.

＊

It felt like I had been dreaming for a long time. 

I was being thoroughly pampered by the ‘Three Most Beautiful Girls in School.’

The king-sized low bed in Ono-san’s bedroom had plenty of space even with all four of us sleeping there.

(It really feels like a dream…)

Of course, none of our classmates knew about this.

It was a special ‘secret’ shared only by me and the three most beautiful girls in school.

“Sorry, everyone. For falling asleep… you can deduct it from my pay.”

“Mm… it felt so good, I want to give you a bonus instead.”

“Yeah, let’s give him a bonus.”

“Agreed.”

As I embraced the three of them, all of us without a stitch of clothing, it still felt like a dream.

But if it was a dream, I didn’t want to wake up.

Even after more than a month in this relationship, I still felt like I was drifting in a pleasant, dreamlike state.
