My Daily Life as the Reliable Best Friend of a Dense Rom-Com Protagonist Childhood Friend Is Way Too Much Like a Nukige

Chapter 9: ‘Contract Extension… Shall We?’ ♡

While being stared at with curious eyes, I carried the class rep to the infirmary.

The infirmary smelled of disinfectant. Since the school nurse wasn’t there, I let myself use one of the beds. I laid the class rep down and closed the white curtains around us. I then plopped heavily onto the round stool beside the bed.

A little while later, the class rep woke up. She slowly sat up and looked around.

“Oh, right. I collapsed… It felt so good, after all.”

“…………”

I stayed silent for a while. When she peered at me worriedly and said “Tomokun?”, I finally opened my heavy mouth.

“I never told you to go that far.”

“Eh…”

“You were seriously about to ruin your life. You only didn’t get caught because you were lucky. Do you understand how stupid you were?”

I grabbed her shoulders and pulled her closer. The class rep gasped and widened her eyes.

“You have a future ahead of you. You’re a super high-spec girl who can become anything you want. Don’t throw your life away for some momentary pleasure!”

I was angrier than even I expected. It wasn’t for myself or for a girl I liked. This might have been the first time I got seriously angry for a complete stranger.

As for the class rep who got yelled at—

“Fugu…! Uguu…! Hic…! …Hic!”

—She started crying for real!?

Large tears spilled from her wide-open eyes.

In front of the stunned me, the class rep ruined her beautiful face with tears and snot as she cried messily.

“I’ve never been scolded by Dad or Mom before…! I thought there was no one who would seriously scold me for my own sake…!”

“…………”

I still had a lot more I wanted to say, but the mood was completely ruined. I felt deflated.

I gently patted her head.

“Sorry for yelling.”

“I wanted you to scold me more…”

“…………”

I might have planted a weird fetish in her. She was already a perverted exhibitionist to begin with.

I took a deep breath and asked quietly.

“Is there anything you want me to do for you?”

“…Why are you asking me that?”

“It’s a reward. A good slave deserves a reward, right?”

I don’t really know. But she followed my orders properly, so I thought praising her was part of being a proper Master.

The class rep looked down silently for a moment, then spoke in a small voice.

“Then… I want your cock.”

“…………”

“Sex. I want to have sex.”

—I had a feeling it would come to this, so I took out the condom I had hidden in my blazer pocket. It was originally prepared for Shiina, though.

“Keep your voice down.”

“I’ll hold it in. I’m good at holding things in.”

“Not funny.”

She’s the girl who became an exhibitionist after holding everything in for too long.

I shrugged and climbed onto the bed. The class rep fidgeted with her fingers, then took off her blazer. When she started unbuttoning her blouse, I hurriedly stopped her.

“You do realize this is still school, right?”

“Ah. I forgot for a second. There’s a bed and everything.”

“We’re doing it with clothes on. So we can make excuses if someone comes in.”

The bed is surrounded by curtains, so as long as we don’t make too much noise, it should be fine.

I reached between her legs and slipped my hand under her skirt.

—Guju!

“Wow, you’re soaking wet. Well, you were masturbating earlier.”

“Yeah. So… I don’t think I need foreplay.”

She crawled closer and unzipped my pants. My cock sprang out.

“Amazing… A real cock. First time seeing one.”

“Wait. I’m putting the condom on.”

She watched with great interest as I rolled the condom onto my penis. What a lewd girl.

The class rep looked up at me and asked.

“Tomokun… Can I get on top?”

“Face-to-face sitting position right away might be hard. It takes some technique.”

“But I want to be close to you. I want to feel you a lot.”

If she says that much, I have no reason to refuse. I can take the lead if needed.

The class rep straddled my rock-hard cock and rubbed her dripping wet pussy against it. Even through the condom, I could feel how hot her pussy was. I swallowed hard.

“…I’m putting it in.”

“Kh.”

—Zupupupu!!

Without any hesitation, the class rep dropped her hips. She’s way too bold for a virgin. My cock instantly sank deep into her vagina.

“Nnnnn♡♡♡ Aha♡ It’s so big♡ My belly feels so full.”

“Doesn’t it hurt?”

“Not at all. It feels good. Maybe because I masturbated so much earlier.”

She didn’t seem to be lying. Her inside was incredibly wet and her vaginal walls were far more relaxed than you’d expect from a virgin. It coiled and sucked around me…!

“Nn nn♡♡ Haa haa♡ It’s hitting deep♡ Feels so good♡”

“You’re making an incredibly lewd face. What a crazy virgin.”

“Auuu!?♡♡♡”

When I grabbed her plump bare ass and shook her body, the class rep’s legs trembled violently.

“Haa haa♡ I came♡♡ Your cock is hitting places my fingers can’t reach… It’s so good♡”

“Why are you so relaxed?”

“Maybe because I’ve trained with exposure play♡”

This is too irregular. This girl isn’t in my experience data at all.

The class rep wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me close. Uwah, her face is too high-spec up close…! Looking at her from this distance, her face is terrifyingly beautiful. Yet she’s an exhibitionist. What a waste of a beautiful girl.

“Chu♡”

“Nmu.”

“Chuu♡ Chu chu♡ Churu♡ Kiss feels good♡♡”

She’s kissing me so naturally. The sweet-salty taste of her tear-mixed saliva numbed the core of my brain. Shit. I’m having my dominance taken by a virgin??

“Take this—”

—Dochu!!

“N~~~~~~!?!?♡♡♡”

When I thrust my hips up and violently ground against her deepest part, the class rep’s eyes shot wide open as her head shook violently. Having found her weak point, I relentlessly attacked it.

—Guchu guchu guchu!! Zucchu zucchu zucchu!!

“FuuuUuuU♡♡♡ Nnuu♡♡ I’m cumming, I’m cumming♡♡♡ This is too much♡♡♡”

“Don’t get cocky just because you’re a virgin. Here, this spot feels good too, right!?”

“UuuuNnnN!?♡♡♡ ~~~~~~!?!?!?♡♡♡”

—Pusha! Pusha pusha!!

When I crushed her G-spot, the class rep cried tears while letting out silent screams. Her pussy meat squeezed tightly as she squirted from her loosened urethra. My crotch and the sheets were completely soaked.

“Nnnn!!♡♡ Nn!?♡♡ Cumming♡♡ I’m cumming again!!♡♡ Cumming♡♡”

—Bikubikubiku! Bikun!! Bikubiku!!

Her cervix was being pounded by my cock as the class rep came continuously. Even though we had to hold our voices back, both of us growled like beasts while grinding our genitals together.

—Zucchu zucchu zucchu! Gishi gishi gishi!!

The bed springs creaked from our violent intercourse. With saliva all over our mouths, we thrust our hips wildly, completely lost in sex.

Eventually, heat surged from the base of my cock and my balls tightened. I couldn’t hold back my ejaculation!

“I’m cumming! Class Rep! I’m gonna shoot my load!”

As I thrust up fiercely, she looked at me with completely melted eyes and said in a hoarse voice:

“By my name♡ Call me by my name♡♡ Tomokun.”

“——… Miko.”

“~~~~~~!?!?!?♡♡♡♡♡”

—Bikubikubiku! Bikun Bikun!!

The moment I whispered her name in her ear, the class rep’s eyes flew open as her whole body convulsed violently. Her pussy writhed and squeezed, urging me to cum. I couldn’t hold it anymore.

“Kh… Ooo… Fuu…!!”

I felt a tremendous amount of semen gushing out. Drowning in overwhelming pleasure that felt like my brain was exploding, I hugged Miko tightly.

“Haa haa…♡♡ Sex♡ …I love it♡♡”

The class rep was savoring an incredible orgasm with a completely melted ahegao face.

…………

…

After silently cleaning up, the class rep spoke while bashfully squirming.

“…We did it. It was way more amazing than I imagined.”

“I see. Glad to hear it.”

“It was the best reward♡”

Come to think of it, this was supposed to be a reward. I completely forgot about that halfway through and just enjoyed myself.

Also… I got way too serious and had raw passionate sex with a virgin. How lame.

While I was falling into self-loathing, the class rep said sadly:

“If we didn’t have this ‘contract’… I wouldn’t be able to have sex with you anymore, right?”

“…Well, about that.”

“Hey.”

The class rep gently tugged the cuff of my uniform and looked up at me.

“Contract extension… shall we?”

“…………”

I thought about it.

I guess I don’t need a cooling-off period. Her body is erotic and our compatibility is great.

Plus, I’m genuinely interested. How far can a person fall? I wanted to see where her path leads.

And most of all—

“…You’re way too dangerous. I won’t be able to sleep at night if I don’t keep you under control.”

When I answered, her face lit up with a huge smile as she hugged my arm.

“Ehehe. Tomokun♡”

“Don’t cling to me! You’re too familiar!”

“No! I’m gonna cling!”

“Are you King Bonbi or something!?”

The more coldly I treated her, the happier she seemed as she clung to me.

Throwing away her usual graceful smile, she beamed with a dazzling full-faced smile and said:

“I’ll never let you go♪ My dear Master♡”

I couldn’t help but look up at the ceiling.

—Maybe I acted too hastily.

Chapter 10: ‘Rotten Holiday with Childhood Friend ♀ (Part 1)’ ♡

Suddenly, but I live alone. It wasn’t because I wanted to — it was my parents’ educational policy.

They wanted to foster my independence from a young age by making me experience living alone. My dad said something like, “If you rely on your parents too much, you’ll become a lazy person.” I agree with that, but reality didn’t go as my parents planned. In fact, my solo living life is the pinnacle of laziness.

“Aaah. Housework is such a pain. Taking out the trash is annoying. Guess I’ll just have a convenience store bento again today.”

My weekends are basically like a dried fish. Study six days a week, work part-time in my free time after school, and do housework? No way I can do that. Looking at how I’ve mastered cutting corners, I think it would’ve been better to just let me live at home. Without parents as a deterrent, kids just keep rotting away.

—Ding-dong.

“Hm?”

While I was lazing around in bed reading manga, the intercom suddenly rang. A visitor on a day off? I only have a bad feeling about this. Is it the national yakuza (tax office) harassing me for payment again? I thought about pretending I wasn’t home as usual, but the doorbell kept ringing repeatedly with no sign of leaving. I reluctantly dragged my heavy body up.

“We don’t have a TV!”

I shouted as I opened the front door, only to find my childhood friend Shiina standing there.

“You don’t have to yell. My ears are ringing.”

“What are you doing here on a day off like this?”

“Standing here talking is weird, so I’m coming in.”

“Aren’t those my lines?”

My childhood friend walked in like she owned the place. Well, of course — I did tell her where I live. I didn’t tell Kimio because he pisses me off.

Shiina, dressed casually for the weekend in a white hoodie and black short pants, looked around the room.

“Hmm. It’s surprisingly clean. No trash piling up. I guess it passes.”

“Are you my mom or something?”

“Your mom asked me to check on you sometimes. She’s worried you might starve to death.”

She said something straight out of a manga. Well, she is my real childhood friend.

“So, why did you come? You’re carrying shopping bags too.”

When I asked suspiciously, Shiina smiled mischievously.

“I thought I’d cook for you once in a while. You should be grateful.”

“…………”

I’m sure of it. There’s definitely something behind this.

“Show me what’s really going on. We’re childhood friends, rotten as it may be. I know you have some ulterior motive.”

“You caught me.”

Shiina stuck her tongue out playfully, then cheerfully put on an apron.

“I’m thinking of cooking for Kimio next time. They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, right?”

“So I’m the poison tester?”

“There’s no poison in it. What do you think I am?”

Shiina checked where the cooking utensils were and started cooking. I’m tired of the “bad at cooking” childhood friend trope in manga, but Shiina can actually cook normally. Her knife work is good too, and she doesn’t look dangerous. While chopping ingredients with rhythmic ton ton sounds, she spoke without looking at me.

“Do you ever cook? You have nice utensils, so you should use them.”

“I did cook at the beginning, but I stopped because cleaning up was too much hassle.”

“I’m amazed.”

I think that’s a common story for guys living alone. At first, everyone gets motivated like “Alright, I’m living alone now, time to cook properly!” but it gradually becomes annoying. My parents both work, but after starting to live alone, I genuinely came to respect my mom for handling both work and housework so naturally.

“What are you making?”

“How about omurice?”

“Perfect.”

Anyone who talks about “capturing a man’s heart” and then introduces plain meat and potatoes without any twist is fake. To satisfy a man, it’s all about calories. Feed him a junk calorie bomb and he’ll melt instantly.

“Eggs have gotten cheaper lately, which is nice. Though paid plastic bags are still bullshit.”

“Tell that to the sexy politician kids.”

While talking like a housewife, Shiina skillfully beat the eggs. Practical clothes with zero flashiness and hair tied up messily. It really feels like a girlfriend I’m living with. Very nice.

Twitch.

“Hey, I’m feeling horny.”

Like a kid saying “Mommy, I’m hungry~”, I whined.

I pressed my erect cock against Shiina’s ass. She turned around looking annoyed and sighed.

“Can’t be helped. I’ll lend you my pussy, so just finish quickly.”

“For real? Thanks!”

I grabbed a condom from the chest beside the bed, put it on, then smoothly pulled down Shiina’s short pants from behind. Her panties were cheap ones that looked like they came in a set from Shimamura. Yeah. This is perfect.

I shifted the crotch of her panties aside and exposed her pussy. I pressed the tip against her slightly open entrance and slid my cock in with a nupu nupu. It wasn’t as soaking wet as last time, but her pussy meat was nicely tight and squeezed my cock wonderfully.

“Nn♡ Nnu… I’m cooking right now. Don’t do it too hard, okay?”

“Got it.”

I slowly moved my cock in and out, savoring the feeling.

—Nupoppu nupop. Nuppu nup!

Since this wasn’t really sex but more like masturbation, I gently rocked my hips.

“Nn… Fuu fuu. Nn. Nn! Nn.”

Shiina wasn’t in serious mode either. That’s fine. This isn’t sex — it’s just an extension of masturbation. I’m simply using Shiina’s body to relieve my sexual frustration. The immorality of it is exciting.

—Nuju nuju! Zupu zupu.

“Oh, you’re getting wet. Your pussy is sucking me in. Feels amazing.”

“Nn. Be quiet. You’re making my hands slip. This part is important.”

She’s making the type that properly wraps the chicken rice instead of just pouring egg on top. Surprisingly elaborate. She wants to put in real effort since it’s for the person she likes. While slowly shaking my hips, I buried my nose in Shiina’s nape and smelled her.

“Hey, are you wearing something? It smells really good.”

“I’m not wearing anything. Why would I dress up on a day off?”

Even so, she smells this sweet and nice. Young girls are unfair. Her whole body is basically sex.

“Ugh. I can’t hold it. I’m about to cum.”

“Nn. Just cum whenever.”

While answering casually, Shiina twisted her hips and pressed her ass against my crotch. She’s the best. My whole body trembled as I ejaculated.

“Oh. Nn… Fuu. That felt good.”

“Yeah… Omurice is done.”

“Then let’s eat.”

I tied up the cum-filled condom and threw it in the trash, then wiped my cock with a wet tissue. I plopped down in front of the small table in the room. Shiina placed two plates on the table. On top of the nicely shaped omurice was written ‘IDIOT’ in ketchup.

“Thanks for the meal~”

“Thanks for the meal.”

We put our hands together and dug into the omurice made by my childhood friend. The junky taste of the chicken rice and the mellow egg were a perfect match. This is it.

“Delicious!”

“Good. I’m glad.”

While devouring the omurice, Shiina spoke up.

“Hey, let’s do it again later.”

“Hm?”

“I’m feeling horny now too.”

“I see.”

We fell silent again and continued eating the omurice.

What a rotten holiday. But this is exactly what guys like.

Right?

Chapter 11: ‘Rotten Holiday with Childhood Friend ♀ (Final Part)’ ♡

After the meal, we cleaned up the dishes together, then casually flopped onto the bed.

I hugged Shiina from behind, slipped my hands under her hoodie, and directly groped her bare breasts. Of course, I had already removed her bra earlier — it was now lying messily on the floor.

“Nn♡ Hey, why do you always focus on my boobs?”

Shiina rubbed her thighs together restlessly. She let out a needy voice and pushed her ass hard against my crotch.

“Hurry up and put it in already… My boobs are enough…!”

“You don’t get it. Guys need to knead boobs to build up the mood.”

“I’m already soaking wet♡ I want it now! You’re so mean.”

Shiina turned her head back toward me and pouted her lips, begging for at least a kiss. I deliberately ignored her and focused solely on massaging her breasts. I rolled her nipples between my fingers and squeezed her entire tits like I was milking them.

Kuniku kuniku. Gunigu gunigu.

“Nn♡ Aa♡ No… My stomach feels so empty…♡”

“They say once you get used to it, you can cum from nipples alone. There’s potential for development.”

“I don’t need that♡ Nn!♡ No, my pussy is all wet and it feels gross…!”

Love juice that had soaked through her panties was sticking to my pants and forming lewd strings. Her insides must already be a sloppy, melted mess. Suppressing the urge to shove my cock inside her, I fully enjoyed her surprisingly voluptuous breasts that didn’t match her appearance.

“Ah♡ Aaa♡♡ Something hot is welling up♡♡”

Shiina’s body convulsed violently. Her moans grew higher and louder. When I finished her off by digging my nails into her nipples and scratching them—

“Nnnnnn!?♡♡♡ Nn~~~~~~!!♡♡♡”

—Bikubikubiku! Bikun!! Bikubiku!!

Shiina let out a muffled scream and convulsed wildly like something inside her broke. Thick love juice oozed from her drenched panties and soaked into my pants.

“You came from your boobs. Congratulations.”

“Haa haa…♡ What the hell? I’m not happy about that.”

I gave a reward kiss to the pouting Shiina, and she melted into it with hazy eyes. What an easy girl. Seriously, she’s the best.

“Haa haa… You’ll put it in this time, right?”

Still breathing heavily, Shiina impatiently took off her soaked panties and threw them on the floor. Then she got on all fours on the bed and wiggled her ass.

“Hurry♡ Put it in♡♡ Stir up my insides with your cock♡♡”

“What a slutty begging. Raising your ass so high. You’re such a whore.”

“Nn!?♡♡”

When I lightly slapped her ass cheeks, Shiina seemed to cum sweetly just from that. Her lower body trembled violently as thick, cloudy love juice dripped in strings from her blooming flower-like pussy onto the sheets.

I licked my lips, put on a condom, and pressed the tip against her entrance.

—Zuchun!!

“Nuu!?♡♡ Nnnnnnuuuu!?♡♡♡”

—Bikubikubiku! Gakun gakun!

Shiina came the moment I entered. She stiffened her limbs, shook her head violently, and messed up her tied hair. Her insides were abnormally wet — so hot and slippery that my cock felt like it was drowning in love juice. Her vaginal walls writhed from the orgasm and squeezed my rock-hard cock tightly.

“Kh, you’re squeezing too hard. I’m gonna cum immediately.”

“Haa haa♡♡ Nnuu♡♡ Fuuu!!♡♡♡”

Shiina pressed her face into the pillow, desperately trying to hold back her moans. The way her asshole twitched was incredibly erotic.

“Here I go.”

“Nnuu!?♡♡♡”

Just by moving my hips lightly, she squirted. Is this girl going to be okay? She might end up dehydrated by the time we’re done.

—Zucchu zucchu zucchu! Guchu guchu guchu!!

“Nnnnn!♡♡♡ Fuhyu♡♡ Fuu♡♡ Fuu!♡♡♡”

The pleasure was incomparable to the earlier pussy masturbation. Of course, since I was seriously pistoning now. Shiina’s sensitivity was also abnormal. The beast-like sounds leaking from her mouth proved it.

“Come on, move your hips too.”

“Nn!?♡♡”

I knocked against her deepest part and urged her to move. Shiina shook her hips greedily, savoring my cock. As a reward, I ground my hips hard and persistently knocked against her cervix.

“Nnnnnn!?!?♡♡♡ Aaa!♡♡ Aah!♡♡ Aaaaaahhh!!♡♡♡”

Shiina could no longer hold back her voice. She flooded love juice like a river, soaking the sheets with squirt, and shook her hips shamelessly like a bitch in heat. Her rippling vaginal walls clung stickily to my cock, sending brain-numbing pleasure with every thrust. As expected from a childhood friend — our physical compatibility is outstanding.

“Shiina, I’m about to cum!”

Feeling the magma rising from the base, I slammed my hips on pure instinct. The scent of scattered love juice and sweat stripped away my reason. Shiina was cumming non-stop, letting out silent screams.

“UuuuU NnnnN!!♡♡♡ Nnuuuuu~~~~~~!!♡♡♡”

—Bikubikubikun! Bikun! Bikun!!

Shiina convulsed violently all over as she reached an incredible orgasm. Her vaginal walls squeezed my cock with tremendous force, and I came.

“Ugh, kh! It’s coming out so much.”

Thick, hot semen burst out through my urethra. The tremendous volume of seed spurted out, bringing pleasure so intense it felt like my brain was burning!

“Haa haa. That felt insanely good.”

“Fuu… Fuu fuu…”

When I looked at Shiina’s face, it was a mess of tears, snot, and drool. The beautiful girl was completely ruined. The sheets were soaked and the smell was obscene. I guess I’ll have to do laundry. Housework is annoying, but it can’t be helped.

…Well, this kind of holiday isn’t bad once in a while.

…………

…

In the end, we went for another round with the flow. By the time we noticed, the sun had completely set.

I made coffee for us, and we went out to the balcony with mugs in hand. Stars were twinkling in the night sky.

Shiina playfully bumped my shoulder and pointed at the sky.

“Hey, Okayu. What constellation do you think that is?”

“Pchoo-hen constellation.”

“I was stupid for asking you.”

“Expecting anything romantic from me is the real mistake.”

When I laughed heartily, Shiina also laughed as if saying “Can’t be helped.” The distance between us was closer than usual after sex. Though we were always pretty close anyway.

Shiina took a sip of the steaming coffee and let out a deep sigh.

“What exactly is our relationship?”

“Childhood friends, right?”

“Normal childhood friends don’t have sex.”

“Well, true.”

Childhood friends… and sex friends… and what else? I like Shiina, but she still likes Kimio as always. She’s a tough one. But if she were the kind of light woman who would throw away a ten-year first love just because we had sex, I wouldn’t have fallen for her in the first place. I really fell for a difficult love. The same goes for Shiina.

I pulled Shiina’s shoulder closer.

“I’ll make you fall for me someday.”

“…………Yeah.”

Shiina smiled ambiguously and leaned her body against me. In the sky, unknown s

Chapter 12: ‘The Senior Gal Who Keeps Weirdly Messing With Me’

The hidden coffee shop ‘Smatabucks’, located in an alley near the station closest to my apartment, is my part-time job.

Last spring, I started high school and began living alone. My parents cut off my allowance. They still send money for rent and food expenses, but it’s not enough for pocket money. Naturally, I had to earn my own spending money. And so, I decided to take on my first part-time job.

I chose a coffee shop because it was close to home, but also because I genuinely like coffee. Since starting here, I’ve become quite knowledgeable about it. I now even grind my own beans for the coffee I drink at home.

“Here’s your ordered ‘Manman Name Name Lero Lero Chinchino.’ Enjoy.”

“Th-Thank you…!”

I handed the coffee to a regular junior high school girl. A smile is part of the service. No need for a tip.

She brought friends today. Several girls in school uniforms are gathered in a booth, chatting noisily.

“That store employee is pretty cool.”

“I’ve secretly got my eyes on him~”

“Just confess already!”

“Ahahaha!”

I can hear you, brats. Cheeky middle schoolers.

Well, it doesn’t feel bad. As I was washing dishes with my customer-service face on, a female employee called out to me.

“Tomocchi, you’re as popular as ever, huh.”

“Runa-senpai.”

—Naitou Runa-senpai. A college student attending a nearby prestigious university. She turned 20 this year. She’s a flashy gal (outdated term) with blonde ponytail and piercings that give off a sexy vibe.

“Geez, you’re making innocent junior high girls melt. What a bad guy.”

I shrugged.

“Girls around that age are generally interested in slightly older guys. They’re not seriously in love or anything.”

“Look at you talking like you know everything. Trying to act like a playboy~?”

“Ugh, so annoying…”

Runa-senpai wrapped her arm around my shoulder and poked my cheek.

For some reason, this person loves messing with me in particular. She’s extremely good at her job and teaches well. I can’t talk back to her since she’s the one who taught me everything about coffee.

Runa-senpai gave me a friendly smile, poked my shoulder, and tilted her head cutely.

“Aren’t you going to get a girlfriend, Tomocchi? It’d be a waste not to date while you’re in high school.”

“I’m good.”

“If you don’t have anyone, want me to be your girlfriend?”

Older girls really love teasing innocent younger guys. Whether I’m innocent or not is up for debate.

“By the way, Senpai, don’t you have a boyfriend?”

“Nope~? I’m single right now.”

Really? That’s surprising considering how popular she seems. Well, that doesn’t change my answer.

“I already have someone I’m interested in.”

“For real? Did you confess?”

“Well… but that girl has a one-sided crush on another guy.”

“Wow, bittersweet. Peak youth romance.”

Runa-senpai narrowed her eyes as if looking at something dazzling. Does it look like I’m having a youthful romance? In reality, I’m just nursing a one-sided crush while casually fucking other girls. It’s too rotten to call it “youth.”

While I was struggling to respond, Runa-senpai patted my back.

“If you ever feel like switching to me, just say the word? Big sis will gently teach you everything♡”

“I’m not lacking in sex friends, so I’m good.”

“Wow, cheeky. Now I want to bully you~”

While I was talking with Senpai, the door chime rang. I looked up and reflexively said “Welcome—” then froze.

“Heh~ Nice atmosphere in here.”

Standing at the entrance was none other than Kimio. When he spotted me, he walked over with a friendly smile. Meanwhile, my face was more bitter than the first time I drank black coffee.

“Yo, Tomohito. The uniform looks good on you.”

“Why the hell are you here?”

“Hmm. If I had to say… the wind guided me?”

“Huh? What?? Do you want to get killed???”

I almost snapped but remembered I was working and barely managed to switch to polite speech. That was close.

“Is this your friend, Tomocchi? I’m Runa, his senior.”

“I’m Nushibito Kimio. You’re very beautiful, Onee-san!”

“My, thank you♡”

“Don’t casually hit on her the second you meet.”

This idiot is flirting with an older woman he just met. As his childhood friend, I’m embarrassed.

“How’s my friend’s work attitude? He has a really bad mouth.”

“You have no right to worry about me.”

“Tomocchi is popular with customers. His mouth is bad, but his service is polite and he’s quick-witted.”

“I know. He’s my proud childhood friend.”

I had no idea how to react, so I just polished a plate pointlessly. Don’t compliment me right in front of me. Are you doing this on purpose?

“Hurry up and order. You came here as a customer, right?”

“Yeah, yeah. Then… I’ll have the ‘Baki Baki Rock Hard Horny Chinchino.’”

“Got it. Takeout?”

“Yeah, please.”

I poured Kimio’s coffee into an insulated cup, put the lid on, and handed it to him roughly. Kimio accepted it with a smile that looked more like a store employee than a customer, paid, and left.

Runa-senpai was… looking somewhat thoughtful. What is it?

“That boy is super popular, isn’t he?”

“You can tell?”

I looked at her in surprise. Runa-senpai gave a meaningful smile.

“…There are guys who are destined to be popular, not because of logic. That boy has that scent.”

People call it protagonist correction. I only know Kimio in real life, but if there were others like him around me, the stress would make me start exposing myself like a certain class rep.

“Did you fall for him too, Senpai?”

When I asked, Runa-senpai covered her mouth and chuckled. Her gestures are surprisingly elegant for a gal. She goes to a high-ranking university too — maybe she’s actually a rich young lady.

“I won’t fall for him. I have way more experience. After all, I’m an adult.”

“Adults are amazing.”

Having watched Kimio’s protagonist correction since we were kids, just not falling for him makes her quite rare.

“If I were still an innocent middle or high schooler, I might’ve been in danger, but childish charm doesn’t work on adults.”

“Is that how it works?”

…Now that I think about it, most rom-com heroines are middle or high schoolers. There are some popular adult heroines, but very few. I thought it was because readers didn’t want adult heroines, but maybe it’s simply because protagonist correction doesn’t work on them.

While I was nodding to myself, Senpai gave a seductive smile and secretly held my hand where no one could see.

“…But I find you way more attractive than that boy, Tomocchi?”

“!”

“Aha. Your heart just skipped a beat, didn’t it? Cute♡”

“Please stop teasing an innocent high school part-timer.”

“An innocent high schooler wouldn’t say he has sex friends. Idiot.”
