Just Being Alive Is Amazing: Starting Life Over in a Chastity-Reversed World - Chapter 172: Second Term Midterm Study Session ②
Chapter 172: Second Term Midterm Study Session ②
“Welcome back, Takuya-kun~ ♡”
After sex and bathing, I join everyone chatting on the bedding they laid out, passing time until we sleep.
“Talking about love again?”
“Yup, we were ♡”
“You guys love that stuff…”
“It’s not our fault! It’s yours, Takuya!”
“Why…?”
Arisa suddenly accuses me, but I have no clue what I did.
“You make girls’ hearts go all fluttery too much ♡”
“Ha…”
“That’s why being with you makes us want to share so many stories ♡”
“Right now, it’s about Yoshino-chan ♡. You got super serious when you saw her injury and scolded her, Takuya-kun ♡”
Yuika-san excitedly shares what they were just talking about.
“It’s an episode that makes us swoon over your kindness ♡”
“There’s more, too~ ♡…”
Even after I return, the love talk doesn’t stop, continuing until bedtime.
“Takuya-kun ♡, got any love stories? ♡”
“Me? …Hmm… You guys covered most of it…”
Yuika-san tosses the question to me, but I don’t have much to add.
“True, it’s basically all your love stories ♡. Oh! ♡ But what about stories with the grown-ups who aren’t here? ♡”
“Hmm… There’s the time I caught a cold recently…”
“Geez! ♡ We were so worried! ♡”
“Sorry…”
“Fufu ♡, but I’m so glad you’re better ♡”
Kaede puffs up angrily but smiles happily seeing me healthy now.
“That time, Miki-san stayed with me a lot…”
“Yup, yup ♡, I know ♡. Moka-san and them said she was super fidgety ♡”
“She even scolded me, like, ‘At least let me pamper you when you’re sick’…”
“Fufu ♡, sounds like Yoshino-chan’s story ♡”
“Ugh… I won’t cut my hand next time! I’ll use the peeler! ♡”
Yoshino proudly declares she’ll avoid mistakes next time.
“Yup… Let’s eat bentos together again.”
“Again ♡ …Hehe ♡, you made my heart flutter again ♡”
“Takkun’s making girls happy again ♡”
Haruka-senpai pokes my cheek, saying, “You made me swoon too ♡.”
“So, it’s almost Takuya’s birthday and the amusement park trip… Everyone ready? ♡”
Lately, Kaede’s been picking out outfits for the amusement park. Girls find joy in that stuff, don’t they?
“Of course! ♡ I’m studying hard to enjoy it to the max ♡”
“Right~ ♡ Going to the amusement park with bad test results would ruin half the fun ♡, right, Ran-chan? ♡”
“Muu! ♡ Why just me?! ♡”
Ran-san clings to Arisa, protesting fiercely. But she’s the one at risk of falling behind in our class…
“Okay, time to sleep ♡. Let’s pick who sleeps next to Takuya ♡”
““““Yup~ ♡””””
“Roulette start! ♡”
We’re laying out two rows of bedding, so we’ll choose three people to sleep beside me.
“The winners are~ …Honami-chan, Yuika-chan, and Yoshino-chan! ♡”
“““Yay~ ♡”””
“Then, give Takuya a goodnight kiss and let’s sleep ♡. Night~ ♡”
““““Goodnight~””””
After gentle goodnight kisses with everyone, we slip into the bedding and close our eyes.
※
“Too cute ♡”
“Right ♡, this is great ♡”
“Let’s protect him… ♡”
I hear giggles through my closed eyelids. Looks like they’re watching my sleeping face again.
“Oh ♡, good morning, Takuya-senpai ♡”
“Morning, Yoshino…”
“Ehehe ♡, scooting in~ ♡, so warm ♡”
Yoshino rolls from the next bedding into mine, invading my space. But it’s sweet, so I’ll let it slide.
“Then I will too… ♡”
Honami-san slides into my bedding too, hugging me. It’s October, but this is getting warm.
“Takuya-kun, then, let me give you a lap pillow ♡”
Yuika-san offers her lap, and I’m enveloped in warmth all over.
“Gonna fall back asleep…”
“Show us your sleeping face again ♡”
“I’m happy you’re sleeping on my chest… ♡”
Unable to fight the sleepiness, I doze off again.
After waking from my second nap, we tidy the bedding, eat breakfast, and resume studying.
In the afternoon, I head to the kitchen with the maids to make more cookies for snacks.
“Doing this with Takuya-sama ♡, studying hard in school was so worth it ♡”
“Right~ ♡, I was all about studying at my girls’ school~ ♡”
“Me too… ♡”
All three maids are top-notch, with high academic skills like the guards and secretary.
“Takuya-sama, how about posting the cookie-making on SNS? ♡”
“Oh, that’s a good idea…”
“Nice one, Miki-chan ♡”
“Will a smartphone do~?”
“Hmm… It’s just for a quick SNS post… not starting anything serious.”
If we were posting a video on a platform, we’d need lighting, cameras, and editors, but not for this.
I snap a quick photo, check for anything in the background, and prep the post.
Let’s see…
Made cookies for my brides studying hard for tests today.
Sharing with everyone working hard at studies or jobs.
Something like that. Feels a bit stiff, but that’s me, right?
“Fufu ♡, this’ll spark a cookie craze ♡”
“Craze, huh…”
“You started a Japanese language trend, Takuya-sama~ ♡”
“Oh, right…”
Like Yui-san said, people worldwide are studying Japanese because of my streams…
“Takuya-sama might end up with a foreign bride someday ♡”
“Hmm… If I meet someone nice… but I don’t know any around here…”
“True, meeting foreigners is rare. At university, with lots of study abroad programs, you might get chances…”
Miki-san’s university accepts many international students, so there are diverse encounters.
“Are you going to university, Takuya-sama? ♡”
“Hmm… I’m not big on studying or have dreams like being a doctor or professor…”
For guys, university isn’t just about mingling like in high school—it’s for serious scholars. I’m good.
The girls probably will go. Masami-oneechan and Haruka-senpai are aiming for top domestic… no, global universities.
In this world, Japan’s an even bigger economic powerhouse than my past life, and university research is so advanced that top domestic equals top global.
To support everyone, I’m putting effort into cookie-making today.
“Oh ♡, the cookies are done ♡”
“Then, I’ll deliver them.”
“““Yup, off you go~ ♡”””
I bring the freshest, tastiest cookies to each room and enjoy tea time with everyone.
“Takuya-kun! ♡ It’s trending already!! ♡”
“Ehh…”
Marin-san shows me her SNS screen, and the likes are skyrocketing.
“They say cookies are sold out at convenience stores! ♡”
“Ugh…”
“Fufu ♡, you’re a trendsetter, Takuya-kun ♡”
“This’ll spark a cookie war among snack companies, Takuya-sama ♡”
“What’s that mean?”
“Collabs and deals will probably flood in for you, Takuya-sama ♡”
Mikuni-san nibbles a cookie, saying, “Delicious ♡,” but if that happens, Reina-san might die from overwork.
“If it’s a collab, Marin-chan, you’d have to draw illustrations too, right? ♡”
“Migyuu! M-Me too?!”
“Of course ♡, with Takuya’s popularity, they can’t just outsource casually ♡”
“Ugh… I-I’ll try! ♡”
“That’s the spirit, Marin-chan! ♡”
“It’s not even decided yet…”
Kaede’s acting like I’ve got deals lined up, but nothing’s confirmed.
After snacking, we study a bit more, clean up, and prep to leave.
“Then, Takuya-kun ♡, see you at school ♡”
“Yup, see ya.”
It’s a bit lonely when everyone leaves, but I’ll see them soon on test day.
Feeling lonely, I study with Masami-oneechan in her room until dinner, getting her help.
“What do you want to be in the future, Onee-chan?”
“I’m the eldest, so I’ll take over the company ♡”
“Right… You’re gonna be a CEO, so you need a top university.”
“Yup ♡”
“I’m cheering for you…”
“Ufufu ♡, it’s for you, Takuya ♡, so I’ll work hard ♡”
“Don’t overdo it…”
“I’m not ♡, I’m resting properly ♡”
“Really?”
“Really ♡, I know it’d make you sad ♡”
It feels like Onee-chan’s dodging with pats, but I’ll trust her.
“Then, to avoid overdoing it, maybe I’ll let Takuya take care of me in the bath ♡”
“Yup!”
After dinner, I wash Onee-chan in the bath, give her a massage, and do my best to pamper her.
