I'm a Kept Man for the Three Most Beautiful Girls in School - Chapter 15: Abduction

Chapter 15: Abduction

The social studies field trip was a half-day program.

Led by our Japanese teacher, Mr. Ando, we took a thirty-minute train ride from our school in Kei City to the neighboring Uji City.

Our group visited a matcha factory, where we got to try making tea and dress in kimonos for commemorative photos. Overall, the visit was well-received.

While other classes were having fun and socializing, our group was a bit different.

Tsu-chan, Sakura, and Chikage stayed close by my sides, constantly on guard against Keage-san and her friend (whose name I didn’t know), almost like bodyguards.

One boy and seven girls.

The issue wasn’t with the group composition itself but rather with the presence of the three school beauties and Keage-san’s group.

t felt like a showdown between rivals, with a palpable tension that lingered throughout the day.

Despite everything, both the trio and Keage-san’s group seemed to enjoy the trip. I also managed to avoid being alone, and we had a fulfilling day.

We ended the visit with a group photo at the matcha factory before dispersing.

Keage-san and her friends planned to go to karaoke with other classmates and invited me, but I firmly declined. Chikage, Tsu-chan, and Sakura wouldn’t let me go anyway.

[Keage: Hey Kyosaka-chan, it’s Kokoa ♡ You guys forgot the camera. I want to bring it to you, but it seems like Tsukasa and the others are avoiding me. Can you come over here instead?]

While heading home with the three school beauties, I received a LINE message from Keage-san. I hadn’t given her my ID, so how did she get my contact information?

Puzzled, I replied anyway.

[Kyosaka: I’m with them right now. Is it okay if I get it from you at school tomorrow?]

She read it immediately and quickly sent another message.

[Keage: So you’re avoiding me too, Kyosaka-chan? We just parted ways a moment ago. Since we’re still close by, can’t you come over?]

[Kyosaka: I’m not avoiding you.]

[Keage: But you walked away from us earlier. You’re close with Tsukasa and Karasuma, huh? I guess I don’t matter. Anyway, just come over and pick up the camera, okay?]

It seemed like there was a misunderstanding. 

I wasn’t avoiding her; I was just trying to keep my actions from causing any trouble. But that apparently made Keage-san even more upset.

After thinking for a bit, I typed out a reply on my phone.

[Kyosaka: Alright. Where are you?]

[Keage: In front of the karaoke box near the station. I’ll be waiting ♡]

Hmm.

What should I tell everyone? 

If I say that Keage-san called me, it might cause misunderstandings. Maybe it’s better to say I forgot something and not mention Keage-san at all.

“Hey, everyone. Can you go ahead without me?”

“What’s up, Okeihan?”

“I think I forgot something. I need to go get it.”

“We’ll come with you.”

“No, that’s okay. You’re all gathering at Tsu-chan’s place, right? Go ahead and wait for me there.”

The three of them exchanged looks and nodded.

I didn’t have a deep connection with Keage-san, so I couldn’t really tell if she was dangerous. 

But if Tsu-chan and the others were this protective of me, there must be a reason. I decided to pick up the camera and head straight home without getting caught up in anything risky.

With that settled, I quickly waved goodbye to the three of them and jogged towards my destination.

I arrived at the karaoke box near the station. 

Not being very familiar with Uji City, I got a bit lost. Of course, I could have used a map app on my phone, but my phone’s signal was weak, and the arrow sometimes pointed in the wrong direction, making me lose my way.

(Cheap stuff… reaching its limit, maybe?)

Well, anyway.

At the front desk on the first floor, I told the staff that I was just picking up a forgotten item and would leave soon. When I opened the door to the room Keage-san had specified, four girls were waiting for me.

…This feels a bit odd already.

“Hey, Kyosaka-chan. Thanks for coming.”

Keage-san hugged my arm and pulled me into the room. 

The soft sensation made me very uncomfortable.

“Uh, I just came to get the camera…”

“You must be tired, right? How about having some juice first?”

She handed me a glass of orange juice. 

Feeling it would be rude to refuse, I quickly drank it and put the glass on the table.

“Thanks, it was good. Now, the camera.”

“Oh, the camera, right. Here it is.”

Keage-san took out my beloved DSLR camera from a leopard-print pouch.

As I reached for it, my body suddenly felt unsteady. My balance seemed to slip away, and I felt like I was being pulled down by gravity.

My consciousness felt foggy. As I struggled with these thoughts, my body slumped towards the sofa, nearly collapsing onto the table…

(This is bad… really bad.)

I felt that falling asleep here would be a terrible idea. 

This was clearly an abnormal situation. There was a possibility I had been drugged…

(Why…? For what purpose?)

I couldn’t let myself fall asleep.

I mustn’t… but… My strength drained from my body, and I couldn’t keep my eyes open.

Overwhelmed by an irresistible drowsiness, I slumped onto the table and closed my eyes.

Just before losing consciousness, the faces of the three overly protective beauties from school flashed through my mind.

※

When I woke up, I was lying on an unfamiliar bed.

I forced my still-groggy mind to become alert.

I remembered everything clearly… I had drunk the juice Keage-san handed me at the karaoke box, and then a powerful sleepiness had hit me.

Still lying on my back, I craned my neck to look around the room. 

This place… I had never been to a love hotel, but the garish neon lights made it clear that’s exactly where I was.

As I was thinking this, the door opened.

As expected, though I hoped otherwise, it was Keage-san.

“Oh, you’re awake? Good morning, Kyosaka-chan. How do you like this?”

Keage-san twirled in front of me, wearing a blue school swimsuit.

The contrast of her tanned skin against the shiny blue was dazzling… but that wasn’t the point.

“Ugh…”

“The sleeping pills my brother gave me work really well, right? You probably still can’t move.”

“Why are you doing this…? What’s the purpose of drugging me?”

“That’s a secret ♡ Hey, Kyosaka-chan’s awake, so you girls finish getting ready too.”

Ready? For what? What situation am I in right now? 

I tried to think through my foggy mind, but nothing made sense.

As my thoughts spun around without clarity, the door opened again.

Keage-san’s three followers appeared. 

And to my surprise, they were all wearing school swimsuits.

“…Why is everyone in swimsuits?”

I knew this wasn’t the most important question, but the surreal scene made me ask anyway.

“We’re in the swim club. We thought we’d swim a lot with you today, Kyosaka-chan.”

“Kokoa’s backstroke is amazing!”

“But Kokoa, Kyosaka-kun is Tsukasa-chan’s favorite, right? If she finds out about this, won’t it be bad?”

“Huh? I’m not afraid of Tsukasa. Besides, haven’t all the guys you like been taken by those three? We deserve to have some fun too, don’t we?”

Keage-san and her three followers looked down at me and laughed.

This is terrifying. The hidden meaning behind their smiles is absolutely scary!

“Let’s put the restraints on now. If Kyosaka-chan struggles, it could be dangerous. We’re just girls, after all.”

“Okay.”

The dangerous ones are you girls.

“Wait… what…?”

Keage-san and the three girls I didn’t know started attaching restraints to my hands and feet while kneeling on the bed.

Oh, no!

My wrists and ankles were strapped down with belts, my arms spread out like I was being crucified. Unable to move, I watched as Keage-san looked down at me with a sly smile.

“These are special restraints for training submissive boys. Once tied up like this, a guy can’t escape.”

(I’m not submissive! No, that’s not the point!)

“What are you doing? There’s a limit to how much you can joke around!”

“Instead of thinking about what we’re doing, you should think about what we’re going to do next. ♡”

She had a point. 

Why was I being lectured by my kidnapper?

“Let’s start the special swim club lesson.”

“…Special lesson?”

“Yeah. We’re going to film it too. Afterward, we’ll review what was good and bad.”

“Right!”

“Kyosaka-kun, you’re lucky. Guys love harems, right?”

What are these people talking about…? An unwanted harem is nothing but despair.

“I have plans with Tsu-chan and the others. Stop this and let me go.”

I mustered all my courage and pleaded with them.

Keage-san seemed a bit surprised, blinking rapidly, but soon burst into an obnoxious laugh. After sharing the laughter with her three followers, Keage-san lifted my chin with her index finger.

Her eyes, like those of a predator locking onto its prey, pierced through me.

“That attitude of yours pisses me off, Kyosaka-chan. I’m going to make sure you can only think about us. You’ll forget about Tsukasa, Karasuma, and Daigo, and become ours alone.”

She withdrew her finger from my chin and pushed my chest with her other hand.

The restraints clanked.

“Let’s start with number one.”

“Okay! I’m Juri Sumizome. My specialty is breaststroke. Nice to meet you, Kyosaka-kun.”

One of her followers, Sumizome-san, approached me, her long black hair swaying.

At some point, likely while I was asleep, my clothes had been removed. I was now dressed only in a white short-sleeve T-shirt and boxers—an incredibly pathetic sight.

I wondered if they were going to strip me completely or torment me in some other way. 

Sumizome-san chose the latter, producing an orange-capped bottle from somewhere and turning it upside down over my body.

“Kyosaka-kun, stay still.”

“Hey, what…?”

A thick liquid poured down from the bottle like a waterfall. 

It’s cold… Is this lotion?

Sumizome-san spread the lotion evenly over my chest with her hands. The gel-like substance seeped through my shirt and boxers, reaching my skin.

(Is this turning into some kind of adult store scenario?)

“To swim fast in breaststroke, you need strong chest muscles. I’ll test my training results on your body, Kyosaka-kun.”

Sumizome-san shared some swim club trivia while leaning over me.

“Nina, Yuri, stop laughing and start recording.”

“Sorry, Kokoa.”

The two followers quickly grabbed their phones and started filming.

“…I really don’t understand what you want, Keage-san.”

“Honestly, I don’t have any grudge against you, Kyosaka-kun. But those three girls, called the school’s top beauties, irritate me. So, every guy who’s ever liked one of them, I’ve taken for myself. Guys go crazy for me after just one time, and it shows that those three aren’t all that special. It’s hilarious.”

I see. Now it all makes sense.

Keage-san has been targeting the boys who are infatuated with the “three school beauties,” making them hers one by one since she couldn’t win them over in a straightforward way.

Though I understand her actions, I can’t agree or sympathize with her. She says she has nothing against me, yet it’s clear she dislikes me for being close to those three girls. She might not even realize she’s implying that.

Using sleeping pills to do something like this…

Unforgivable. What I can’t forgive the most is my own lack of caution. 

Despite Tsu-chan and the others trying so hard to protect me, I ruined it.

This situation is entirely my fault. I can’t let it end with them being mocked.

“Even if you’re easy, if given the same conditions, everyone would choose Tsu-chan and the others. They are special because they aren’t easy. You might think you’re manipulating the boys, but it’s the opposite. They just see you as a convenient girl.”

As soon as I said that, Sumizome-san slapped my cheek.

A sharp pain stung, and my vision blurred.

“Don’t talk badly about Kokoa, okay?”

“Juri, it’s fine. Kyosaka-chan, I wonder how many times it’ll take to break you. You can talk big now, but that won’t last.”

“…”

Getting involved in something that could lead to the police… is this just a youthful mistake?

It’s clear she isn’t thinking straight. Keage-san has lost her sense of judgment, and my words won’t reach her. Being restrained, I can’t escape either.

In that case, I’ll crush Keage-san’s plan head-on. I’ll prove that Tsu-chan, Chikage, and Sakura are more important to me. 

I glared at Keage-san, who was smirking behind Sumizome-san.

“I won’t fall for someone like you.”

“Nice. I love it. Guys like you, Kyosaka-chan, are the most fun to break.”

Keage-san smiled confidently.

From here on, it will be a test of endurance between me and her.

(Alright, let’s do this.)

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and quietly renewed my determination.
