My Gift Is “Beauty”. I Think It’s Useless, but It Seems to Be an S-Rank Gift With the Strongest Buff Effect for Beautiful Girls

Chapter 22.2.2: Epilogue – Koharu Kushima

She said she didn’t want me to hurt myself just because I couldn’t feel pain. She was glad I protected her, but it was really painful for her to see me get hurt.

Apparently, I was pretty loved.

But it’s okay now. Even if that guy comes back, I have friends now.

Friends I can talk to.

I don’t think I’ll drag them into this, but it’s different from when I had no one to confide in.

That said, the bruises on my body have turned so dark and blue they might never fade.

I can’t change my clothing style, and I can’t show my skin.

My life hasn’t changed much.

That’s when it happened.

I was going to hang out with Hibiki-chan after a long time, and we decided to talk at a café.

When I told her about the divorce and living separately from Dad, she suggested my bruises might be able to heal and called over a boy.

Because of Dad’s influence, I had some feelings about boys, but since I’d defeated him, I didn’t feel as much fear as I thought.

Still, I couldn’t help comparing. I wondered if every boy was like him.

The person introduced was an ordinary boy, not Hibiki-chan’s usual type.

I had braced myself, but I felt let down.

Still, the way she looked at him said a lot. Oh, she likes him, I thought.

I felt relieved. Hibiki-chan, who loves handsome guys, chose someone who isn’t. I was happy, wondering if she remembered what I’d said before. What matters is what’s inside, not looks. That’s something I learned the hard way from my dad.

First, we met to get to know each other. If he seemed trustworthy, he’d tell me about his Gift.

In the end, I decided to trust him because Hibiki-chan did. Plus, hearing that her skill reacted to him made me more hopeful that my bruises could heal.

I’d been told about the backlash.

I was hesitant to show my skin, but I wanted to be free of the bruises, so I prepared myself and went.

Once the treatment started, embarrassment about showing my skin vanished. I was overwhelmed by how good it felt.

His hands were warm. His hands felt good. Oh, I couldn’t take it.

In the end, I climaxed with my butt.

I hoped he didn’t notice, my speech slurred, but I thought, well, maybe it’s fine if he did.

Then came the second treatment day.

We met alone, without Hibiki-chan.

That day, I took off my glasses to have the bruises on my face treated. He said I looked cuter without them. Hearing the same thing as Hibiki-chan made me like him more.

I’ll hold back today. Hibiki-chan isn’t here, so I’ll hold back.

That’s what I resolved, but it wasn’t me—he made a mistake.

It was really the end. Just like last time, it ended with my butt. But then, maybe because his hand slipped from sweat, his thumb touched my most sensitive spot, and everything built up from fifty minutes of foreplay hit me all at once.

It felt so good, far beyond anything I could do alone.

“Haa… haa! ♡ It’s your fault, Hiroyo-kun… making me like this… and touching my special place… I can’t hold back anymore…! ♡”

“Hiroyo… kun… Hibiki-chan… I’m sorry… I couldn’t hold back…! ♡”

From all the romance novels and manga I’d read, I thought the first kiss would come from the boy. But somehow, I initiated it. I went all out with the lewd kisses I’d learned from manga and videos, practically pulling his tongue out.

I felt guilty toward Hibiki-chan, but I couldn’t stop. His skill’s backlash was so intense, it made me want to feel even better.

I knew boys could react to someone other than the one they like. Still, I was thrilled that he was aroused by my bruised body, and I got carried away.

I used my skill to reduce pain.

I explained it to him, and he took my first time.

There was some discomfort, but with no pain, only the pleasure from his skill’s backlash stayed in my body.

The next day, I groveled before Hibiki-chan.

I was so out of control, devouring him and going wild.

As time passed, guilt set in, and apologizing was my only option.

But Hibiki-chan forgave me.

Probably because she and Hiroyo-kun officially started dating.

That’s fine. Just having my bruises healed is enough for me.

That’s what I thought, but for some reason, Hibiki-chan agreed to let me keep being intimate with him.

Honestly, after knowing that pleasure, I didn’t want to think I could never have it again. But Hibiki-chan was amazing. From the moment she first spoke to me in the library, she kept trying to know me and care for me.

My bruises disappeared.

After four weeks of treatment, one morning, as I headed to the bathroom to shower, all the bruises on my body were completely gone.

“It’s okay… from now on… I can dress how I want… show my skin… and not worry about people’s stares…!”

It made me happier than my dad leaving.

Well, he was the cause, but realizing I no longer had to hold back brought tears naturally.

“Ta-da!”

I showed my body to Mom. She knew about my bruises and understood why I wore clothes that hid my skin.

“Koharu? Your body… what happened? It’s beautiful… so beautiful…!”

Mom cried with joy.

I didn’t mention Hiroyo-kun’s Gift, but I told her I’d made wonderful friends.

Then, I showed my body to Hibiki-chan and Hiroyo-kun.

I was no longer afraid to show my skin to others.
