In a World Where Chastity is Reversed, I Ended Up Working as a Hot Spring Attendant - Chapter 178

Chapter 178: Off-Screen Extra – Hiyoda Hiyo’s Various Matters

“I mean, since President Hiyoda has money, couldn’t she just buy a man?”

Is there even a need for her to go chasing after men at this point?

“I did buy one, but I ended up getting disillusioned first, so I never actually lost my virginity.”

She waved her hand dismissively, as if saying, “No way,” while closing her eyes in exasperation.

“Huh? Is it really like that?”

The unexpected answer left me feeling caught off guard. She’s supposed to be quite old, isn’t she?

So, why are we even having this conversation?

After finalizing the travel schedule for our upcoming trip, President Hiyoda—now affectionately called Hiyo-Hiyo—invited me out for drinks after work, saying she’d treat me. The word “treat” lured me in without a second thought…

“Do you prefer food or alcohol?”

When I said food, I was led to a rather high-end-looking private room in what appeared to be a luxurious restaurant.

Looking at the menu, the prices were in the tens of thousands. I recoiled in shock, quickly closed the menu, and said, “I’ll leave it up to you.”

“If you care about your skin’s glow, this is the best choice.”

Then, a softshell turtle hot pot was brought in. The broth at the bottom of the pot was disturbingly red, boiling furiously. What is this?!

“You have to eat it right away when it’s served, otherwise it’s considered bad manners.”

I thought we would be drinking while eating, but she urged me to eat first. Well, considering this was likely a once-in-a-lifetime experience, I decided to dig in.

I couldn’t quite describe the taste, but it was strangely delicious.

By the time the remaining broth was used to make rice porridge with eggs, not a single drop of soup or grain of rice was left.

Alongside the meal, there was some alcohol labeled “Youkai Loli Baba”—what kind of suspicious brand is this?

But it was bizarrely good. Even though I’m not a strong drinker, it went down so smoothly.

I had a bad feeling that this was probably terrible for my health, but I kept drinking, or rather, it just kept going down by itself.

I didn’t even feel like I was drinking, yet the alcohol kept disappearing. This was definitely dangerous.

“Are you drinking?”

Hiyo-Hiyo came closer and leaned against me. She’s the type with a subtle lack of personal space.

“I’m drinking quite a lot.”

I had to make sure I didn’t lose myself to the alcohol. As a working adult, if I ended up wasted, clinging, or throwing up while drinking with a superior, I wouldn’t just be a failure as an employee but as a person. I desperately tried to pace myself.

“So, that person’s name now is Hisui Umino, right? What do you think of him?”

After being treated to such a feast, there was no way I could just say, “Thank you for the meal, but that’s a secret.” So, I gave up and told her everything.

“He’s incredibly gentle, and even when surrounded by women in a mixed bath, he smiled naturally. When he found me, he hugged me while still naked, saying that if we seriously proposed to him, he’d accept us all…”

“Oh, that’s wonderful! Go on, go on.”

Somehow, my cup kept getting refilled, so I took small sips.

“After hearing that, all of us there proposed to him, and he said, ‘Then, nice to meet you all,’ hugged us, and kissed us…”

Thanks to the alcohol, I felt like I was saying way too much.

“That’s great! And then?”

“After that, we all lined up and went straight to the local office to process our marriage registration. Then we took a group photo to commemorate the moment. Here, like this…”

I operated my phone and showed her the group photo we took at the government office.

“This is Hisui, our partner.”

I zoomed in slightly for a better view.

“Oh, he’s quite a good-looking guy!”

“He’s a really great person.”

“Hmm… There’s Granny Yata, Tsumugi-neesan, Hachikuma, Suzume, Misago… Oh, Tsubame’s there too… Everyone looks so happy… That’s nice.”

She seemed to know a lot of the people in the photo. She didn’t even need an explanation to recognize their names.

“If you know that many people there, wouldn’t you be fine going alone?”

“I could go, but if I went as a regular guest, the reservations are already booked solid, and waiting for an opening would take ages. If I went as a family member skipping the queue, I’d end up being treated like staff and worked to the bone. I want to go as a proper guest and relax…”

Apparently, they were quite strict when it came to utilizing manpower.

There were some internal matters that outsiders wouldn’t understand.

“I get how you feel, but…”

“Skipping the queue by paying for a special room is just too expensive. But if I classify this as a company trip, it can be counted as an expense, which makes it a little more cost-effective.”

“That’s surprisingly practical…”

She’s the president, but…

This is supposed to be about fulfilling a girl’s dream of becoming a lawful wife…

“Tax deductions are important, you know?”

Hiyo-Hiyo’s eyes went dead as her head drooped.

“If I keep the profit reasonable while ensuring employee satisfaction, then labeling it as a company trip makes it a welfare expense, so it’s slightly tax-deductible… which means… it’s basically… free…”

“Isn’t that a bit depressing?”

Her tone became uncertain towards the end.

“And with this, I can also use it to lure in talented new graduates… I alone wouldn’t be much of an advertisement…”

“Haha…”

She was a bit tipsy, and her ulterior motives weren’t even hidden.

“Besides, if I went and married all the employees, Granny Yata would explode with rage. So, I’ve strictly prohibited making any moves or flirting myself…”

“Just don’t interfere with my wedding night, okay?”

“If your periods are heavy, this helps. Since this place serves only fully farmed ones, they’re safe to eat raw.”

Some blood-based dish was brought out. I’d heard about this before, but… I feel kind of… restless…

“But President, you’re at a good age. Do you have a partner?”

“Anyone who grew up seeing Grandpa Kohaku can’t possibly look at ordinary men and consider them as potential partners…”

She had a rather complicated expression.

“Can’t you just buy one with money?”

“Men you can buy are basically garbage. Their rank is low, yet they get pampered, so they act arrogant. They just lie down like frozen tuna or seals at the fish market, expecting you to do all the work…”

“You sound very experienced…”

I wished she’d write a doujinshi about this.

Hiyo-Hiyo President isn’t stingy, but she’s very strict about expenses.

This time, she paid from her own pocket instead of using company funds.

In this world, relationships between girls are fairly normal.
