In a World Where Chastity Is Reversed, I Kept Provoking Girls Until Things Went Too Far - Chapter 21-22

Chapter 21: The Danger of a Chastity-Reversed World

“Sigh… I was totally no good…”

The final score was an astonishing seventies.

He drooped his shoulders as he watched the girls racking up scores while laughing.

“But it got everyone excited, and it was fun.”

“Yeah, the high gutter rate was kind of rare in a funny way.”

“The way you weren’t used to it was cute.”

…Getting called “cute” somehow felt complicated.

He was a guy, after all, and he wanted to hear “cool” more.

“Okay, so what do we do next?”

“I’m hungry, so let’s go grab some food. There’s a nice Italian place right in front of the station.”

“I’m in!”

“I want pasta!”

The conversation naturally came together.

There was no room or reason to say no, so he got swept up and stood.

When they left the bowling alley, it was past noon, and walking alongside the five girls, he felt strangely upbeat.

For a guy like him to walk without drawing so much attention… It felt like an extension of VR chat, like he was dreaming.

“Hey, Kouta-kun, where do you usually go?”

Kaho, walking beside him, asked with a grin.

“Uh, um… On the way home from school, the convenience store or the arcade…”

“Hee hee, so student-like.”

“Then let’s do something a little more grown-up today.”

Mina grinned mischievously.

Somehow or other, they headed straight to the Italian place in front of the station.

He got completely escorted by the girls and swept along in the flow.

The moment he sucked on the straw of his juice with a slurp, the girl across from him—Natsumi—grinned slyly.

“Hey, hey, Kouta-kun really is the cute type, right?”

“Totally, totally. He gives off little brother vibes.”

“No, more like pet material?”

“Huh!? I’m not a pet or anything!”

He shot back right away, but the girls acted like they hadn’t heard.

“Here, ahh♡”

Suddenly, Ayano from the seat next to him scooped up some doria with her spoon and thrust it toward his mouth.

“H-Hey… What are you—”

“Come on, come on, eat it quick before it gets cold?”

“I wanna do it too!”

“Then next is me, ahh♡”

With stares from the other customers piercing him, spoons kept coming one after another.

He desperately waved both hands.

“I-I’m not a kid! I can eat by myself!”

“Whoa, he’s embarrassed~”

“Face all red, so cute!”

“He really is weak to stuff like this.”

His heart pounded with the girls’ laughter.

It was frustrating—but the more he denied it, the more he got pulled into their pace.

“…F-Fine… Just one bite, okay?”

He gave in and took the offered spoon into his mouth, and the girls clapped and got super excited.

“Eek! He ate it! Too cute!”

“Hey, we should’ve recorded it!”

…He was totally being toyed with, but for some reason, it didn’t feel bad.

From there, they ended up at a not-so-popular karaoke place a bit off the main path.

The karaoke lights were dim, and the girls sat close, pressing in way too much.

“Kouta-kun, your voice is really nice,” “Hey, sing one more song?” They stared at him way too intensely, locking eyes.

Behind their smiles, there was a weird pressure.

Kouta noticed.

(…Something’s off. The energy… it’s clearly not a “normal meetup.”)

Before he knew it, one of the girls had wrapped her hand around the one holding the mic.

For some reason, the girls on both sides were stroking his thighs.

Joking smiles. But those hands wouldn’t let go.

“Are you scared, maybe? Surrounded by girls?”

“…Hey, Kouta-kun.”

“W-What?”

“Can I ask you one thing?”

“Uh, sure…”

She leaned forward a little, still smiling.

“—Kouta-kun, you’re really a “real boy,” right?”

The air froze in an instant.

Kouta’s throat bobbed.

“…!? W-Why…”

The woman next to him giggled.

“You can tell right away. Your gestures and voice didn’t feel like a girl dressing as a guy.”

“We all noticed from the start, you know?”

Kouta’s mind went blank.

In other words—from the beginning, this “meetup” was…

“The first one to chat you up did it on purpose. We were interested.”

“I mean, in this world, real boys are rare, right? Especially one who likes games and wants to hang with girls this much.”

“We all talked about getting really close to Kouta-kun.”

The girls laughed.

But their smiles carried a strange heat, and somewhere, a chill.

“It’s a joke, right?”

“Like, a joke that’s half-serious.”

“Don’t worry, Kouta-kun. We won’t do anything weird. We just want to know more.”

She twirled the straw around, saying it calmly.

“—How boys live. How they laugh, how they get scared.”

At those words, sweat trickled down Kouta’s back.

The girls’ eyes, still smiling, held a chilling “curiosity.”

Kouta said it with a shaky voice, his spine going cold.

“H-Ha ha… I’m just gonna grab some juice. Throat’s dry.”

The girls exchanged looks and slowly laughed.

“Oh, okay, then we’ll get you a drink.”

“Yeah. Don’t run off, Kouta-kun.”

The moment the door closed, Kouta thought.

…Yeah, I might’ve come to a really bad place.

Chapter 22: Outrageous Scene

Mio’s Perspective

The moment I woke up, I noticed a different kind of quiet than usual.

Last night, I had stayed up late, and the clock had already passed noon. There were no sounds of Mom’s footsteps from the living room. But the unease I felt wasn’t that.

—Onii-chan’s presence was gone.

Usually, he wandered around the living room with bedhead, fiddling with his phone while eating.

Today… he wasn’t in his room, and his futon was already cold.

“…Huh?”

A voice slipped out without thinking.

I peeked into the shoe rack. His sneakers were missing.

I hadn’t heard him say he was going out. Last night, there had been no such talk. I pulled out my phone and opened the messaging app.

‘Onii-chan, where did you go?’

Sent.

—No read receipt.

No way, not again…

I hurried to the corner of the living room.

That small black device—

The GPS monitor Mom had secretly installed.

However, the GPS signal stayed right at home.

He had intentionally removed the GPS we had agreed on and gone out… Something clicked deep in my chest.

“…What does this mean? Why… why isn’t he here??…”

I pulled out my phone and opened the family group LINE.

My fingers moved on their own.

> Mio: Hey, Onii-chan’s not here.

> Mio: Did you hear anything?

A few seconds later, the notification sounded.

> Mom: Huh, isn’t he at home?

> Kasumi: He’s still sleeping, right?

“No, it’s not that. His shoes are gone.”

I replied with trembling fingers.

> Mio: The GPS is in his room too.

The read receipts popped up all at once.

> Kasumi: …Huh?

> Mom: Is that true? Did you check properly?

> Mio: Yeah. He’s not here.

There was no reply for a while.

In the silent living room, only the phone screen glowed bright.

Finally,

> Kasumi: Maybe he’s doing something weird again.

> Mom: I just checked the monitoring app I secretly installed on Kouta’s phone. It looks like Kouta’s at a karaoke place a bit off from the station.

…Karaoke?

Anger and jealousy and all sorts of emotions exploded inside me, and before I knew it, I had dashed out of the house.

> Mio: I’m going to look for him.

> Kasumi: I’m skipping club and going right now!!!

> Mom: Calm down! If something happens, it’ll be dangerous, so all three of us will go.

Kouta’s Perspective

This must be what they meant by “all is lost.”

As the body touches grew more intense and borderline, I shrank back and couldn’t do a thing.

“…Hyah!”

Someone nibbled sweetly on my ear.

” ‘Hyah’ ~ So cute~~♡♡♡”

“Hey, blushing like that is unfair~!”

“Wait, seriously stop!”

“Eh~? Why? You’re a boy, but making such a cute face and provoking us is your fault.”

“I-I didn’t mean to…”

“Whatever. We were just going to check things out today, but I’m gonna jump you.”

With that, Mina grabbed my pants hard and tried to yank them down.

“H-Hey, Mina, that’s too much! Calm down!”

“Mina-san, you’ll get arrested!”

“Shut up! This chance won’t come twice! I can’t hold back anymore!!!”

The other four yanked Mina off me just as my thing was about to come out.

“Mina! Today’s goal was to behave and get to know Kouta-kun better, right!”

“You cowards! That’s why you’ll stay virgins forever!”

“I-I’m not a virgin. This guy’s getting full of herself.”

“If you’re gonna fight, bring it! Outside!!!”

It was truly an outrageous scene, but

“Now’s the only chance to escape.”

I thought that and bolted for the door, but right then—BAM! The door flew open with a deafening crash.

” ‘Kouta!!!’ ” “Onii-chan!!!”

The three familiar faces burst into the room with full force.

“Mom, Sis… Mio???”

The girls stood there stunned, and I froze solid.

“You… a high school boy surrounded by all these girls in karaoke, what’s that about!”

“More like, who are these girls!? Pick-up!? Mixer!? Explain right now!!”

“Onii-chan, you were doing this behind my back… Hmph?”

“No no no, it’s not like that! This is, um, from the net game… Wait, more than that, help…”

“Eh, Mama? Who!?”

“Kouta-kun’s mom!?”

The girls looked confused too.

“What do you girls think you’re doing!? Luring my son to a place like this!”

“What are you talking about! Kouta-kun came along on his own, right!”

“Eh, eh, me!? No, hold on a sec!?”

” ‘Hold on a sec’ my foot! First off, you give back my chest pat!!!”

“You girls must have lured him! And what’s with this room, you were planning to assault him, right!?”

“We had no plans to assault… except for one…”

“Shut up! You all secretly wanted to jump him too!!”

“To keep things from getting worse, you shut up for good!!”

“What if Onii-chan gets hurt from stuff like this!!! Onii-chan is delicate!!!”

Everyone looked ready to lunge at each other, and things had spiraled completely out of control.

I huddled in the corner, teary-eyed and shaking, with nothing to do but watch it all unfold.

Right then, the door opened.

A pale-faced staff member poked his head in.

“Excuse me… We got complaints from other customers… So we’ve called the police.”

“Police!?!?!?”

Everyone’s voices overlapped.

“It’s not like that! This is just a misunderstanding!”

“You girls were the ones fighting and making noise!!”

“I hate this, I wanna go home!!”
