In a World of Reversed Chastity, I’m Rumored to Be an Easy Bitch (♂) Among Lustful Girls - 60

Chapter 60: Sniff Sniff Sniff Sniff…

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

After a light kiss, Hinayo began to fidget restlessly.

“…I-I know it’s a bit late for this, but I was thinking I’d like to do something a little more adult-like with you.”

“…What do you mean?”

“More like…You know, taking our time slow… More intimate… More gently… Something like that.”

“So you want to take it slow, huh? But why? Why are you asking that now?”

“I thought if we were gentle with each other, maybe I could gain some confidence and change… N-No, if it’s too much for you, Hirakawa-kun, it’s fine. I-I mean, there’s no need for you to waste your time on someone like me, and besides, you don’t even—”

“Sure. Let’s do whatever you want, Nishimeya-san.”

“Hauu…”

Hinayo tended to pile on excuses when trying to express her feelings, all because she lacked confidence in herself. Most probably, the reason why Misawa always teased her was because Hinayo would easily expose her vulnerable sides just from the slightest push. To someone who enjoyed taking power trips like that, someone like Hinayo was the perfect prey. Of course she’d turn into his plaything in no time. 

The self-esteem that had been hurt over such a long time couldn’t be healed so easily. Even so, if Hinayo wanted to change herself and of course, I was willing to help, no matter how long it took.

“Th-Then… Uum, can I… Hug you?”

“Of course. Come here.”

I opened my arms to invite Hinayo in. Still a little hesitant, she nestled into me. Up until now, we had been doing it in a kind of frenzied, heat-of-the-moment kind of thing. But today… It felt calm and peaceful. It was as if Hinayo came to me seeking healing after being hurt by those cruel words earlier. She slowly wrapped her arms around me. 

“This… Kinda makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, doesn’t it?”

“Y-Yeah… It’s really calming, or like, makes me feel safe…”

“Nishimeya-san, you take really good care of your hair, huh? It’s super shiny. I never noticed before.”

“N-No, that’s, um… I’m not good with going to the salon to get it cut and all, but if I leave it alone it gets all messy and hard to manage, so… This is just the result of taking care of my hair properly so I don’t have to waste my effort in the future…”

“Spending effort so you won’t have to spend effort… That’s very Nishimeya-san of you.”

“Hauu…”

“But that effort led to this beautiful hair, right? There aren’t many people with such silky, shiny hair like yours.”

“Hauuu…”

Whether out of embarrassment or something else, Hinayo’s hug tightened. Our bodies drew even closer, and a pleasant scent—probably her shampoo—started to reach my nose.

…Was this really just the smell of her shampoo? Sure, shampoos for women usually smelled nice, but what was wafting from Hinayo’s hair felt like more than that. Riria had a clear perfume scent, and Ayame-san had that strong, womanly fragrance. But Hinayo’s was different.

It was hard to describe scent with color, but if I had to compare, hers was more transparent than either of them—a scent like the epitome of youth itself. Sweet and a little tart, it made my heart flutter and left me a little giddy. A scent that made me feel happy and restless at the same time.

Ah, maybe… Just a little sniffing wouldn’t hurt, right?

Sniff sniff sniff sniff…

“H-Hirakawa-kun…? D-Do I smell that bad…?”

“No, quite the opposite. You smell so good… I just want to keep sniffing you.”

“T-That sounds super lewd, you know…? Hirakawa-kun, are you like, a ‘scent fetishist’ or something?”

“Fetish, huh. I’ve never really thought about it.”

Fetish—here, it could easily be swapped with the word kink. Thinking back, maybe I did really like good smells. I wasn’t aware of my inclinations to good smells, but I’d seen a TV segment or something once about how people were naturally attracted to the scent of a compatible partner. Apparently the preference for that scent was written into our DNA, it was basically an instinctual desire on a genetic level.

This fact was probably true even in a chastity reversal world like this. Whether male or female, people were drawn to those they were drawn to.

“I-I like… Hirakawa-kun’s scent too…”

“Eh? Really? I don’t stink?”

“No, no! Not at all! It’s like… Your smell makes me feel dizzy, or flustered, like I can’t control my body or my heart… It gives me chills…!”

“T-To think I was giving off that kind of scent…”

Suddenly, I remembered Riria once teasingly saying, “Maybe you’re giving off some weird pheromone that draws women in.” But if that were true, it would’ve made more sense for me to be popular even before the change of chastity in the world. So the assumption that my scent was somehow special… Probably wasn’t true.

…Probably. I think. Then again, with everything going on lately, who knows?

And right now, Hinayo was the one doing the sniffing. Maybe I really should look into it when I had the chance. As I idly thought about that, I noticed Hinayo’s expression starting to grow dreamy.

“…Hirakawa-kun, I don’t think I can hold back anymore.”

“Eh…? A-Ah… R-right.”

“Um… Can I… Kiss you?”

Before I could say “sure,” Hinayo gently pressed her lips to the base of my neck.

“…I’m going to overwrite all these kiss marks.”

She whispered something so softly I could barely hear it. Just as I was about to ask her what she said, her moist lips pressed against mine. It felt so good, like some kind of chemical reaction had gone off inside me.

…Wait? Isn’t she supposed to tutor me in chemistry? Well, whatever. I guess this counts as chemistry too, in a way.
