In a Chastity-Reversed World, I Posted My Fetishes on a Secret Account, and Somehow the Beautiful Girls in My Class Started Reenacting Them ~ About How My Alt Account Is Being Watched by the Beautiful Girls in My Class~ - 19

Chapter 19: I Guess Something Like This Is Nice Once in a While

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

After school, only Kashiwagi-san and I remained in the classroom.

This was because the cultural festival was approaching. As the time for the festival drew near, one boy and one girl were typically chosen as executive committee members during homeroom. Kashiwagi-san had volunteered herself. Then, she stared at me in silence, so I reluctantly raised my hand as well. Since there were no other volunteers, the committee members were smoothly decided as Kashiwagi-san and me.

Of course, there was a reason we stayed behind in the classroom. It was for a brief meeting between the executive members to decide on the class’s attraction. Kashiwagi-san and I sat facing each other across a desk. Perhaps because she understood that this wasn’t the time or place to bring up fetishes or anything of the sort, Kashiwagi-san was quietly writing ideas into the notebook in front of her.

I found myself captivated by Kashiwagi-san’s serious expression. Her eyes, which were slightly upturned, were rounder than I had thought and looked somewhat adorable. When the light hit them, they sparkled with a reflection that left a vivid impression on me.

Her eyelashes weren’t excessively long, but each one was perfectly aligned, highlighting her eyes without any artificial decoration. Her straight, well-defined nose wasn’t overbearing, yet it pulled her entire face together. Her lips were a natural cherry-blossom pink, and though she didn’t seem to do any extra maintenance, their shape was too perfect. Every feature was undeniably beautiful without being ostentatious.

Because of that, I couldn’t find a reason to look away. This was the first time I had really observed Kashiwagi-san’s face properly, and my heart fluttered a little.

“Is there something on my face?”

Kashiwagi-san looked up while brushing back her hair, illuminated by the setting sun. There was none of her usual intimidation. It was just a question as if she simply found my staring strange.

“No.”

I shook my head vigorously from side to side.

I obviously can’t tell her I was captivated, but lying feels a bit wrong too.

I was nothing more than a toy to Kashiwagi-san, and there wasn’t even a one-in-a-million chance of us actually dating. Even in this “reversed chastity” world where women were aggressive, a loner like me wouldn’t dare think of “what if.” Expecting anything would only lead to getting hurt. In fact, the two girls who had given me love letters turned out to be total perverts… Though it seemed Shirayuki-san actually liked me, that was a special case.

I wasn’t so conceited as to think Kashiwagi-san liked me as well.

“Ayato-kun, what do you think is good?”

“What is?”

“The class attraction.”

Hmm, personally I’d prefer a maid cafe, but in this world, butler cafes have a higher customer draw. 

Thinking of the class, a butler cafe was probably the way to go.

“A butler cafe, I guess?”

“Hmm.”

Hearing my reply, Kashiwagi-san snorted as if she found it boring.

“What’s your real opinion?”

“A… a maid cafe…”

“That’s so like you, Ayato-kun.”

Maid cafes did exist in this world, in a way. From the perspective of my original world, they were like butler cafes. The demand was low, but not non-existent.

“I’ll think about it.”

Saying that, Kashiwagi-san giggled. The corners of her eyes crinkled, and she looked very lovely.

“Also, regarding the play…”

She pointed at her notebook, showing me the candidates she had written down. Among them were titles like Romito and Julietto and Snow White Prince. Strangely enough, many of the fairy tales in this world were gender-swapped versions of the ones from my original world. Because of that, I understood them immediately.

“D-Do you have one you want to do, Kashiwagi-san?”

“Let’s see, for me, it has to be…”

Kashiwagi-san trailed off and looked down.

What was written there was Cinderello, a name clearly based on the Cinderella of my previous life. It was a bit unexpected. But certainly, Kashiwagi-san would suit the role of a princess.

“I think it’s good.”

“Thank you. Of course, you’ll be playing the role of Cinderello, Ayato-kun.”

“Eh!?”

“What?”

“No, there’s no way someone like me could play the lead—”

“I hate that, Ayato-kun. You belittling yourself.”

Cutting off my words, Kashiwagi-san looked away.

Is she fed up with me?

Sure, I thought Kashiwagi-san would look good in anything, but I lacked confidence in myself. I wasn’t popular, so I didn’t have any confidence.  Haha, that was a bit of a cold joke just now.

“Listen, okay? You’re going to play Cinderello, Ayato-kun. If you do, I’ll play the part of the princess for you.”

It was less of a request and more of an order. So, I had no choice but to say:

“Yeah, okay. I understand.”

Satisfied with my answer, Kashiwagi-san narrowed her eyes. And then… She took off her shoes.

“W-What are you doing, Kashiwagi-san!?”

“My legs got tired from being bent, so let me stretch them out.”

I’m pretty sure you were just sitting normally…

I thought, but I didn’t say it aloud. Gently, Kashiwagi-san’s foot came to rest on top of my lap. It was a modest action for her.

“Stroke it.”

“Eh?”

“Will you stroke my foot?”

“Y-Yeah.”

Gulp. 

I swallowed hard. Then, I slowly placed my palm on top of Kashiwagi-san’s foot. Her slender, delicate foot felt a little cold. So, I gently gripped Kashiwagi-san’s foot with my hand.

“I think this might make it a little warmer.”

I said it as if trying to convince myself. At this time, I had no idea that the cultural festival would become the catalyst that changed the relationship between Kashiwagi-san and me.
