Just Being Alive Is Amazing: Starting Life Over in a Chastity-Reversed World - Chapter 183: Cultural Festival Eve

Chapter 183: Cultural Festival Eve

Today is finally the cultural festival… well, not quite. It’s the eve, an event just for those within the school.

I’m all set in my butler outfit, ready to go. By the way, I’ve taken tons of photos with everyone. My brides and others all look cute, making my heart race.

“Then, let’s open~ ♡”

As the festival kicks off, guests pour in all at once.

“The food’s gonna run out quick.”

“Yeah… well, if it does, it’ll turn into a photo session with Takuya-kun ♡”

“I-I’ll do my best…”

“Your break times are secured, Takuya-kun ♡”

Yuika-san and I check the crowd, and it’s already a line out the door—definitely heading for a sellout.

“Takuya-kun, photo time~ ♡”

“Oh, y-yes. I’m going.”

“Yup ♡ do your best ♡”

Right away, I’m called for photos and head to the front of the shop.

“Welcome back, my lady.”

“H-Hahyu ♡”

I deliver my practiced line with a graceful bow. Everyone coached me on acting, after all.

I don’t do any café work—just photos. I’m basically an idol.

Snapping pictures one after another, my break time comes quickly, and I head to Chiaki-senpai and Karen-oneechan’s animal café with a few brides. I don’t bother changing out of my butler outfit to save time.

With me are Nana, Rina-san, and Honami-san. Rina-san and Honami-san’s height makes them feel like bodyguards.

“Your maid outfit’s cute, Nana.”

“Nfufu ♡ it can’t beat your butler look ♡”

“Rina-san and Honami-san look cool too.”

“Ehehe ♡…”

“Will we work in clothes like this in the future…? ♡”

True, the guards’ formal black suits are kinda like butler outfits.

From outside the classroom, I spot Chiaki-senpai and Karen-oneechan. As promised, Chiaki-senpai’s a white tiger.

Karen-oneechan’s a bunny, maybe? She’s got big white ears and a round tail.

“Welco… Takuya-kun! ♡”

“Oh ♡ Takkun! ♡”

“No way! Izumi-kun’s here?! ♡”

“Q-Quick, someone lend me a comb! ♡”

My arrival causes a stir, but I try to ignore it and enjoy some tea snacks.

“Takuya-kun ♡ let’s take pics ♡”

“Takkun, me too~ ♡”

“Yes, I’d love to take one with everyone if possible.”

“““Kyaa~ ♡”””

Since it’s quiet now, I take photos one-on-one.

Surrounded by Chiaki-senpai’s white tiger, pandas, bears, and Karen-oneechan’s bunny, I’m in high spirits.

As expected, guys aren’t serving—mostly helping backstage.

“Excuse me, Chiaki-senpai.”

“Yup~ ♡ I’ll visit your place later ♡”

“Bye-bye, Takkun ♡”

“““Bye~”””

“Thanks, everyone!”

I’m taking photos everywhere, but it’s part of the fun, right?

Back at my assigned classroom, the crowd hasn’t thinned—it’s grown.

“Oh, Takuya, welcome back~ ♡ Everyone’s waiting for you ♡”

“Ugh… I’ll do my best…”

“That’s the spirit! ♡”

Arisa, in her butler outfit, greets me, but the excitement fades as I prep in the back.

Eventually, the food runs out, and my work hours become the café’s operating hours.

The classroom, now a photo booth with chairs and tables cleared, only has maids and butlers. It reminds me of middle school graduation.

For my second break, I visit Masami-oneechan and Haruka-senpai’s businessman café.

This time, I’m with Fuka-san, Marin-san, and Yuika-san.

“Oh ♡ welcome~ ♡”

“Takkun! ♡ Welcome ♡”

Both have their big breasts and butts stuffed into tight shirts and skirts, looking like sexy office ladies.

“Try a shirt look too, Takkun ♡”

“Okay…”

Haruka-senpai strips off my butler outfit, and I take photos with them in just a shirt. They’re thrilled, saying, “Like colleagues! ♡”

After photos with other office ladies, I head to Sakura’s class, which is a haunted house. I enter with Fuka-san and the others, sticking close.

“It’s… pretty atmospheric…”

In the dark, Fuka-san grips my sleeve tightly.

“Wah!”

“Kyaa!”

It’s a maze with falling objects and jump scares—a thrilling haunted house.

“Phew…”

“You okay, Fuka-san?”

“I-I’m fine!”

Fuka-san seems bad with scares and looks exhausted.

“Onii-chan! ♡”

“Oh, Sakura. Break time?”

“Yup, just heading back ♡”

“Do your best.”

“Yup! ♡”

I take a photo with Sakura, but her fake blood makes it a bit creepy.

After visiting a few more stalls and eating snacks, I return to my classroom for more photo time.

“Takuya-senpai ♡ I came ♡”

“Here I am ♡ Takuya-senpai ♡”

“Welcome back, Lady Yoshino, Lady Tamaki.”

““Ohho ♡””

Tamaki, Yoshino, Chiaki-senpai, and Masami-oneechan visit, and while I’m happy, I keep up with photo duties until the festival eve moves to the auditorium stage.

The dance club, brass band, and even the fashion club’s show make it a blast.

As expected, the festival’s plays and bands create fun memories.

“Phew… good work, everyone…”

“““Good work~”””

We gather in the classroom to confirm tomorrow’s plans and share changes.

Besides café hours, we announce my work times to avoid confusing guests, so guys’ fans won’t be disappointed.

“Today was tough, but tomorrow’s bigger, Takuya ♡”

“Let’s do this…”

“Our class is probably first place ♡”

“First place?”

“You didn’t know? There’s a vote for the stalls.”

“Oh… I had no idea.”

“Each guest gets up to three votes.”

Our strict entry control probably makes that possible.

“First place gets… a hotel buffet afterparty! ♡ Free entry or cashback, your choice! ♡”

“Whoa…”

“We just went thanks to you, Takuya, but normal students can’t do that ♡”

“Private school perk, maybe?”

“Maybe ♡”

“Muu… I’m jealous of Onii-chan’s class…”

““Right~””

My other three sisters envy Kaede, but there’s nothing to do about it.

“Takuya ♡ to prep for tomorrow, how about Moka-san’s massage?”

“Yup… I’d like that…”

“Yup, yup~ ♡ I’ll sleep with Onii-chan to pamper him~ ♡”

“No way! Sneaking’s not allowed~! Takuya’s gotta choose~!”

“Muu~!”

Sakura tries to sneak a sleepover, but Kaede-police catches and drags her off.

After dinner, I visit Moka-san’s room for an oil massage.

“You’re pretty tense~ ♡”

“I’m tired…”

“Fufu ♡ but letting me pamper you is great ♡”

“You pamper me a lot too, Moka-san…”

“Eh~? ♡ I pamper plenty, don’t I? ♡ I’m not Miki-chan ♡”

“It’s not enough…”

“Ehh~? ♡ But~ ♡ as a maid, I’ve got some lines I can’t cross~ ♡”

“Hmm…”

“D-Don’t make such a sad sound~…”

I want to feel more of Moka-san’s girlfriend or bride side.

“Then, I’ll be super clingy today, okay? ♡”

“Yup!”

“But after massage time~ ♡”

Moka-san’s hands glide over my back, so soothing I fall asleep on her sweet-smelling bedding.

“Takuya-sama ♡ wake up ♡”

“Nnyu…”

“Takuya-sama ♡ it’s done ♡”

“Thanks… my body feels light.”

“Fufufu ♡ good ♡”

“Then, Takuya-sama ♡ can we bathe together? ♡”

“Yup.”

Bathing with Moka-san, I wash her and massage her shoulders.

“Your shoulders are tense…”

“Th-That’s ‘cause of my big chest~ not overworking~…”

“Really?”

“Ugh… I’ve been staying up late…”

“Why?”

Through the mirror, I question Moka-san like a cop.

“C-Cooking studies…”

“Moka-san.”

“Y-Yes!”

“You’re so important to me, so I hate when you push yourself.”

“S-Sorry~…”

“If you get it, take proper breaks.”

“Yup ♡ I’ll sleep pampered by Takuya-sama ♡”

Staying up for hobbies is fine—though I’d prefer she didn’t—but doing it for me is a no-go. I’d hate if something happened.

“And… I’ll ease up on studying…”

“Yup.”

After bathing and skincare, we hop into bed early.

“Takuya-sama ♡ can I be clingy? ♡”

“Go ahead.”

“I wanna sleep hugging you~ ♡”

“Yup, I wanna hug you too, Moka-san.”

“Ehehe ♡ then, here goes ♡ …gyu~ ♡”

Moka-san’s big breasts squish against my chest.

“Haa~ ♡ so happy ♡”

“Me too.”

“Ufufu ♡ Takuya-sama ♡ I love you~ ♡”

“Me too.”

Chatting and hugging Moka-san, we surrender to melty sleepiness.
