In a World Where Chastity is Reversed, I Ended Up Working as a Hot Spring Attendant - Chapter 153-154

Chapter 153: Tsuburi’s First Night, Prelude

Ping.

Yata: “Hey, are you watching?”

The notification sound of an incoming message draws me to check my phone.

Ping.

An image of Hisui-san and Yata enjoying a bath together.

Ping.

Another picture of Hisui-san and Yata drinking together.

Ping.

A snapshot of them holding hands like lovers, smiling naturally.

Ping.

An image of a red stain spreading on white sheets.

Ping.

A caption reads, “I made her free.”

The photo shows a pair of fresh, blood-dripping earrings centered in a shot of Hisui-san and Yata together, likely pierced just moments ago.

That’s all for now.

As soon as I mark it as read, a flood of comments pours in. While I can’t quite explain it, I find myself muttering, “Congratulations,” along with others offering both enthusiastic support and divisive opinions.

Internally, it feels like jealousy could burst into flames. Like a classic character in a mask of envy, it seems I might shoot beams from my eyes fueled by jealousy.

From a healthcare professional’s perspective, piercings with too many holes are a concern. As for rings, they’re impractical with daily handwashing and hygiene maintenance; putting them on and taking them off would be a hassle—and I’d probably, no, definitely lose them.

If anything, wearing a necklace like Hachikuma-san does might be better.

Regardless of such dilemmas—

“…I’m so jealous.”

I mutter unconsciously. No, tonight is finally my turn, so there’s no time to be saying such things.

(What should I do for my first night?)

Tilting my head alone, I wonder. Should I dive in headfirst and let things flow naturally?

Inwardly, my lack of planning and indecisiveness is showing.

Yata: “My exclusive period is over, so get ready for the next turn, okay?”

Misago: “Who’s next?”

Tsuburi: “It’s me.”

Tsumugi: “Congrats! Enjoy it!”

Tsuburi: “Thanks, I’ll do my best.”

(I wonder what it’ll be like. Hisui-san’s thing is so big. Will it even fit?)

Even during work, my mind drifts.

Though I’ve used my hands and mouth before, I’ve never taken him with my “other mouth.” I have no idea what to expect.

Apparently, as a wife’s privilege, there was a chance to join a mixed bath with everyone at night, but I had to skip it because I was on duty. Looking back now, I regret not forcing myself to join. It would’ve helped me grasp the atmosphere better.

Regretting it now won’t change anything, though, as I continue my work.

Well, I’ve taken leave to monopolize him for three days. I even adjusted my shifts to include night duty to make it happen.

Honestly, it’s partly escapism. I’ve been using work as a way to avoid facing reality.

The first time with Hisui-san was only possible thanks to our supervisor, Usada, setting things up halfway for me.

If I’d been told to prepare everything myself, I probably would’ve been at a complete loss.

“Hello.”

“Hello… Wait, Hisui-san?”

After finishing my night shift and preparing to head home to get ready for tonight, I run into Hisui-san in the hallway.

It wasn’t supposed to be his “collection day.”

Seeing him appear in real life after just watching him on-screen earlier startles me.

You’d think I’d be used to being close to him by now, but it still feels like quite a shock.

Yata-chan carefully picks her best selfies and organizes a mountain of hidden surveillance camera footage using AI. The final selection, though, is made manually.

After all, it takes a human touch to create something that resonates with people. No matter how advanced AI gets, I’d like to believe it can’t replace human creativity entirely.

By the way, the hidden cameras aren’t just in the corners—they cover a full 360 degrees. If Hisui knew, he’d probably be mildly creeped out by the sheer number.

Still, knowing Hisui, he’d probably shrug it off with, “Well, it’s for security, so it can’t be helped,” and move on.

Chapter 154: Tonight’s Confirmation, Strategy Meeting, and Increased Talk (Tsuburi’s Perspective)

“Huh? What happened today?”

Even though Hisui is at the hospital, it’s not a scheduled milking day. If desired, I can milk her anytime.

“The second set of vaccinations caused a fever, but it settled down. Now it’s the third set. They say that once you get used to it, raw oysters, ham, and meat will be allowed.”

“Ah, so you’ve done the norovirus, toxoplasmosis, and Campylobacter vaccines.”

These are called the “food poisoning vaccine set.” Some restaurants won’t serve certain items without proof of taking this set, as it’s essential for food lovers.

Hisui doesn’t seem to be running away at all, and everything seems to be going smoothly with her taking the vaccines, which is great.

“By the way, Tsuburi, it’s starting for you tonight, right?”

“Eek!”

I accidentally respond with a strange, squeaky voice.

“There’s no need to be so nervous. Let’s enjoy the next three days leisurely.”

“Yes! I look forward to it!”

I eagerly nod, despite being told to relax.

Warm gazes from the surrounding people make me feel a little uncomfortable.

“Excuse me, may I borrow Hachikuma for a bit?”

So I hastily flee to the same sex.

“What is it?”

“Please don’t stray too far.”

“I’ll be around here,” Hisui replies lightly to Hachikuma’s warning.

Sitting on a chair in a slightly separated area, Hisui is casually chatting with the elderly people around her, not seeming particularly nervous.

“So, what’s wrong?”

After watching the situation with some concern, I’m prompted.

“I feel like I should take the lead as a woman for the first night, but won’t I be disillusioned if I can’t do it smoothly?”

Hachikuma blinks and tilts his head at my frank, virgin-like question.

“If you trust our Hisui, there’s no problem. At worst, she might freeze up and just lie there, but she’ll let you finish inside her in the end, so don’t worry.”

…So she’s already done that before. I suddenly feel a sense of camaraderie.

“By the way, I heard Yata Baa-sama tried to take the initiative on the first time by throwing Hisui onto the futon.”

“Uh…”

I almost burst out laughing. Is it okay to laugh at that?

“Was she okay? Didn’t she get hurt?”

“That woman is more skilled than us, so as you can see, Hisui is fine.”

Indeed, Hisui looks energetic.

“Am I strong enough?”

“In case of emergency, you can rely on me to guard Hisui, or we can spar together if you want to test your skills.”

“Well, I’m a bit rusty in that area, but…”

Hisui’s partners are generally peaceful.

“Since Hisui is quite large, the first time was questionable whether it would even fit. So Yata took the lead, using lubricant right in front of her to set a precedent that she can use it without hesitation.”

“Even the great-grandma, it must have still hurt, right?”

“Hisui’s ‘thing’ is quite big, so it makes loud noises inside and bleeds a bit, so it’s pretty scary. But the mucous membranes heal quickly, and Hisui is considerate, so it’s more about enjoying the experience.”

“I see, that makes sense.”

“You can just leave the first time to her. She puts a lot of effort into making it comfortable for you.”

“Is that really okay?”

“Mica and I were able to be ourselves quite a while after our first time. So with Hisui, I think there will be more chances, since she seems to be enjoying this.”

“That’s true.”

I had been operating under the assumption of a one-time deal, but knowing there may be a next time is reassuring.

“Oh, and avoid aphrodisiacs or tonics. Using Mamushi wine to lose your senses was apparently quite a disaster.”

“There’s all sorts of information here…”

Your firsthand account is truly invaluable.

“By the way, the approved merchandise and accessories with one-line reviews are already stocked in the inn’s shop, so you can take a look.”

“It’s so comprehensive…”

“And Hisui doesn’t like anything forced or unwanted, so just tell her what you want to do, and she’ll accommodate you.”

“Gyaaaaah!”

A strange, loud cry makes me turn around.

Somehow, the group surrounding Hisui now includes my boss, Usagita Kusuri, who is enthusiastically giving a thumbs up and cheering. The others are applauding as well.

…I seem to have missed a good scene by looking away for a moment.

(Outside the examination room, from Toki’s perspective)

“Ah, I saw something great. I feel about 10 years younger now.”

“That’s good to hear.”

The patients I encountered in the waiting room are reporting back with unprecedented glee, their skin glowing and eyes shining brighter than I’ve seen in a while.

Usagita Kusuri: “I thought I could do it now.”

Sorry I’m late. I was exhausted from a resurgence of shoulder stiffness and a headache due to the cold.

Even though the author is from the borderline northern region, they’re weak to the cold.

Hisui isn’t actually a misanthrope or anything, so being surrounded doesn’t really damage her beyond some fatigue.

The daughter mentioned earlier as a foreshadowing is the 14th one confirmed so far. Adjusting the timeline would get messy, but is Hakuto’s proposal considered part of the count? It’s a bit of a mystery.

Even with strangers, the grandma squad tends to irresponsibly egg things on in situations like this, as I believe.

The food safety vaccine set, with the norovirus already close to practical use, and the rest theoretically possible as well, it seems.
