In a World of Reversed Chastity, I’m Rumored to Be an Easy Bitch (♂) Among Lustful Girls - 69

Chapter 69: Round Two, Night Crawling: FIGHT!

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

After various things happened and I had a bout with Hinayo, I took a shower and felt refreshed. Maybe Hinayo was tired, because as soon as she finished bathing, she fell asleep in a separate room where Riria had been sleeping. Well, she had been studying hard for the exam, so it was understandable.

Apparently, Hinayo’s parents weren’t coming home today, so it looked like this sleepover session had naturally turned into a carefree sleepover. I was glad I had brought a change of clothes. When I returned to the room, Riria, who had gone to sleep earlier, woke up just as I came in.

“Fwaaah… Good morning, Hirakawa-kun.”

“Morning. Did you sleep well?”

“Yeah, I did, I did. But I forgot to take off my makeup, so now I’m kind of bummed.”

“Ahaha~ Girls sure have it tough.”

“Huh? Where’s Hinayo-chan?”

“She got sleepy after taking a shower and now she’s sleeping in bed.”

“I see. Then maybe I’ll take a shower too. Hirakawa-kun, show me the way.”

“Roger that.”

I guided Riria to the bathroom. Hinayo had kindly prepared towels, shampoo, and all sorts of other things for us, so we were able to bathe without any issues.

She must’ve really been looking forward to us coming over to her place to hang out. Hinayo, who hadn’t had any real friends before, finally had someone she could play with. Of course she’d be happy.

“Alright then, I’m going to take a shower. Don’t peek, okay? Just kidding~”

“I-I won’t peek! This isn’t some romantic comedy manga!”

“Totally, right? If it were a rom-com manga, not only would the guy peek, he’d even come in to wash my back. And he’d be wearing either the school’s designated swimsuit or some tiny little banana hammock—standard fare, right?”

“I-I’m not washing your back either!”

“Aww, don’t be stingy. But, I guess… I don’t really want you to see me without makeup either, so if you did peek, I’d be kind of in trouble.”

“I-I see…?”

She was totally fine with being peeked at or having her back washed, but didn’t want her bare face to be seen.

Girls’ hearts in this world are so complicated.

Well, to be fair, they were pretty complicated in the original world I came from too. Of course, I wasn’t the kind of guy to jump someone while they were in the shower, so I quietly went back to the room and continued reading the comic AraShota.

I was only on volume six, but it was so good I couldn’t stop turning the pages. Still, no matter how interesting it was, I couldn’t beat the call of sleep. After going one round, it seemed like my stamina had taken a hit, and before I knew it, I’d dozed off.

Maybe because I fell asleep on the sofa, my sleep had been shallow. When I suddenly woke up, the room was dark. Someone—probably Riria—must’ve turned off the lights.

I checked my smartwatch and saw that it was just past midnight. I still wanted to sleep a bit more. I decided to move to the futon Hinayo had prepared so I could get some proper rest, and as I got up—

Thunk—I bumped my head on something.

“Ouch!”

“Oww…”

It was too dark to see clearly, but hearing the pained voice, I instantly realized I’d bumped heads with Riria.

“H-Hirakawa-kun…!? Did I wake you…?”

“Not exactly. It’s more like I just woke up naturally… But what are you doing, Sotogahama-san?”

“N-Nothing! I-I just thought you might be uncomfortable sleeping here, that’s all!”

“Hmm…”

Riria was acting unusually suspicious. Even though I couldn’t see her face in the dark, her sketchy vibe came through loud and clear.

This was it. Déjà vu.

Her awkward behavior was just like when I’d caught her doing something at my desk in the classroom. Maybe she’d tried to take advantage of me being asleep to pull some kind of prank…?

With questions swirling in my mind, I decided to probe a little.

“By the way, you turned off the lights, huh? I’d left them on when I went to sleep. Thank you for that, Sotogahama-san.”

“O-Oh… uh, you’re welcome…”

“But I still want to sleep on the futon, so I guess I’ll have to move… You turned off the lights for me, but maybe I’ll turn them back on real quick.”

“W-Wait! Don’t turn them on right now!”

“I mean, I can’t see anything like this.”

“I-It’s fine! I’ll even bring the futon over here for you! Just wait, okay?!”

“Even so, won’t you need the light to bring it over?”

“J-Just stay here, alright?!”

“A-Alright.”

Riria was seriously panicking.

Yeah…She was acting suspicious. She definitely was up to something. She really didn’t want the lights turned on.

And when someone acts like that, it just makes you want to turn them on even more. That’s human nature.

Like I was activating a secret weapon, I pressed the button on my smartwatch. The watch face lit up bright white, acting like a makeshift flashlight. I pointed the light toward where I heard Riria’s voice—and the sight that greeted me was shocking.

“S-Stop… Don’t…”

“S-Sotogahama-san…? That outfit…”

“I-I just got out of the bath, okay?! What’s the big deal!”

“Fresh out of the bath…? That means you’re basically dressed the same as when you were in the bath.”

In the dim room, the light revealed Riria in nothing but a single bath towel, draped over her bare body.

No way… Was she trying to night crawl me!?
