In a World of Reversed Chastity, I’m Rumored to Be an Easy Bitch (♂) Among Lustful Girls - 24

Chapter 24: Accidents Happen

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

◆ Hinayo’s POV

One early morning, before Hirakawa-kun had left for school, I was approached by Fujisaki-kun after his morning practice.  

“Nishimeya-san, I have a feeling that you’re interested in Asahi?”

“Fwah!? W-What… T-That’s…”  

I was startled. I felt like my heart had been grabbed out of nowhere. 

Are my feelings that obvious? Ah, no… I’m in big trouble..

“Uh… Um… well…”

“Did I get it wrong? Sorry if I jumped to the wrong conclusions.”

“N-No… It’s not wrong…”

“I knew it! My intuition’s pretty spot-on, huh? A guy’s intuition, maybe?”

“U-Um… Please don’t tell Hirakawa-kun, okay?”

“Don’t worry, don’t worry. Even though Asahi is my best friend, I wouldn’t spill something like this to him.”

“Hau…”  

Fujisaki-kun looked happy and excited as he said so. Was he really that happy knowing I had feelings for Hirakawa-kun?  

“You see, Asahi is kinda defenseless, isn’t he? So I was thinking if he’s going to get a girlfriend, someone reliable like Nishimeya-san would be perfect for him.”

“N-No way, I’m not reliable at all…”

“I think you’re the only one who thinks like that, Nishimeya-san.”

“Hau…”

“I really think you two would be an awesome match, so I totally want to cheer you on, Nishimeya-san.”

“Hauu…”

“So I just thought of something good…..”  

It seemed Fujisaki-kun was planning to help me with my love life with Hirakawa-kun. Having my crush exposed was embarrassing, but for a shy girl with zero romantic experience, having someone giving me the push to move forward was a relief. He ended up inviting both me and Hirakawa-kun to the next basketball game. I couldn’t let this chance slip away, no matter what.  

※※※

Or so I thought, until an unexpected turn of events happened. Before Fujisaki-kun’s assist plan could take place, Hirakawa-kun ended up coming to my house to borrow some manga.

Oh no, oh no, what do I do? This unexpected event is making me so nervous! I’m at my wits’ end here! Ri-Right. First, I need to serve tea to my guests, right…? 

There was some homemade herbal tea in the fridge. It was my mom’s pride and joy, supposedly great for beauty. She always kept a batch ready without fail.

…Sorry, Hirakawa-kun, I might be a bad girl.  

I knew this herbal tea made you feel aroused, and honestly, we had regular barley tea too. But I deliberately gave Hirakawa-kun the herbal tea. I gave in to temptation. That first experience the other day had been so amazing that, overcome with desire, I’d secretly hoped for another chance. But a shy, plain girl like me wouldn’t be lucky enough to stumble into opportunities like that twice… So I took matters into my own hands. As a way to make things more fair, I chugged some myself too. 

With this, we’re even, right…? …Wait. Why is he reacting this much just from half a cup…? Is he super sensitive or something?

My parents drank this herbal tea every day, but they never seemed to be affected by it this much. Me? Well, I was already excited before I even drank it. My apologies… But Hirakawa-kun. Hirakawa-kun was being Hirakawa-kun. He was partly to blame too.  Normally, a guy wouldn’t just casually follow a girl to her house over something as simple as borrowing manga.

I could totally understand why Fujisaki-kun said Hirakawa-kun was ‘defenseless’…  

His guard was so low that he’d fall for things most guys wouldn’t even fall for.

That carefree nature of his worried me a little. Yes. I was starting to feel worried about him myself.  But precisely because of his carefree nature, I was blessed with this chance.  I was thrilled.  

“Nishimeya-san, I’m… Ready.”

“Y-Yes… T-Then, I… I will put it in…”  

Thanks to the tea, we were both so aroused that we didn’t need to do much foreplay beforehand.  Hirakawa-kun pressed himself against me right away. It was unbearable. My heart was pounding so hard. 

I think… I’m going to get addicted to this…

On top of that, I was grateful that he took the lead for me, a shy girl who couldn’t take charge. It was incredibly endearing that he got excited over my thin, frail body. Hirakawa-kun and I were probably a perfect match in both personality and physical compatibility.

“S-Sorry, Nishimeya-san, I’m about to…”

“H-Hau…”  

Hirakawa-kun’s face when he was about to finish had this… How should I put it… An expression that pierced a girl’s heart. It was the kind of insanely erotic look no girl could hate. I wanted to watch until the end, but at the critical moment, my lips were sealed by his.   I had decided my first time would be with someone I loved, so I was glad it was Hirakawa-kun. This was the perfect way to have my first kiss. 

After a short break… 

“S-Sorry… I got carried away.”

“I-It’s fine, it’s all my fault anyway, and… You seemed to enjoy it, Hirakawa-kun…”

“Yeah… It felt amazing. But I’m sorry for kissing you out of nowhere…”

“N-N-N-No way! My first kiss is like some cursed object even Hard Off wouldn’t take… so for you to accept something like that…”

“Come on, Nishimeya-san, you don’t need to put yourself down like that. This was my first kiss too, so we’re even, right?”  

Hm?! Hi-Hirakawa-kun’s first kiss…?! I took Hirakawa-kun’s first kiss?!  Wait a second, but he’s been with Sotogahama Riria… So how…? Could it be that Hirakawa-kun was also saving his first kiss for someone he liked…? If that’s true, then…O-Our feelings are mutual…?

“A-Are you sure? Giving your first kiss to me…?”

“Well, it’s not like anyone else wants my first kiss anyway.”

“Um… Uuh…”

“Hm? What’s wrong?”  

I wanted to seize the moment and ask, “Hirakawa-kun, perhaps… Do you like me?”  But I, being the coward I was, held back. What would happen if I asked that question and got rejected in the end? That question was practically a confession!  This sweet, lascivious, fleeting connection would vanish in an instant. I’d never get to be with Hirakawa-kun again.

If I were someone like Riria Sotogahama, a popular girl who switched guys all the time, it wouldn’t even faze me.   But I wasn’t like that.   This might sound heavy, but Hirakawa-kun was the only one for me. If I let this slip away, my life would barely have any meaning left. I needed to cross this stone bridge carefully. I had to avoid doing something reckless like confessing out of the blue. It wouldn’t be too late to do it after we’d built a deeper, more trusting relationship first.

Calm down, calm down. Don’t think about confessing right now… Focus on maintaining this connection first…  

“N-N-N-Nothing’s wrong. By the way, aren’t you sweaty…? If you’d like, feel free to take a shower.”

“Really? Thanks, that’d help a lot.”  

I guided Hirakawa-kun to the bathroom. He undressed in the changing area, opened the frosted glass door, and stepped inside. The sound of water running was something I always heard, but for some reason, hearing it through the door made my heart race.

No way, we just did it, and I’m already getting worked up again? I’m too shameless…  

“Nishimeya-san, can I borrow some body soap?”

“Y-Yes, go ahead.”

“…Sorry, the body soap bottle’s empty, it’s not coming out.”

“I-I’ll refill it right now…!”

“Sorry about this. I’m borrowing your shower and now making you refill the soap.”

“It’s totally fine, don’t worry about it. I’ll leave the refill pack here, okay?”

“Oh, yeah, thanks.”  

I placed the body soap refill pack in front of the frosted glass door and started to walk away.

But the moment I set it down, the door slid open. Of course, it was Hirakawa-kun, stark naked. Since he was mid-shower, he looked like the epitome of ‘a fine man dripping with water.’” He looked a billion times more handsome.

Yeah, that’s cheating. That’s definitely cheating.

Unable to suppress my urges, I found myself stepping into the bathroom unconsciously.

After a short break…

“…Hirakawa-kun, your guard is way too low. I’m getting worried.”

“I thought it’d be fine since it’s you, Nishimeya-san.”

“Girls are wolves, you can’t let your guard down! Even with a shy, plain girl like me! You will end up in this way…”

“You’re not a shy plain girl, Nishimeya-san. So have some confidence in yourself.”

“Hau…”  

Ugh! This guy is such a smooth talker! There’s no way I wouldn’t feel happy hearing that! You, you—!  

Hirakawa-kun flashed me a bright smile. What did that smile mean? I didn’t want to lose this smile, so I decided I’d stop resorting to tricks like this. I had to polish myself to build a proper relationship with Hirakawa-kun.   After his shower, I sent Hirakawa-kun off to the station with volumes one through six of AraShota since it was getting dark.

That means when he returns them or comes to borrow more, there’ll be another chance for me. I hope things are more normal the next time we meet…
