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 68: Beautification Committee

The next morning.

Hiroyo noticed a slight discomfort in his body.

The discomfort was not negative. Rather, it was a periodic “reaction.”

“I learned it, huh,” Hiroyo said.

Hiroyo had acquired a new skill.

He thought about how to use it while mulling it over in his mind.

Today was Monday, a school day.

Additionally, the members’ schedules did not align, so the meeting at the “Master Room” was canceled.

“Well, I have some errands anyway,” Hiroyo said.

Hiroyo participated in committee activities. More accurately, he was “forced” to join.

During homeroom, when committees were decided, Himari’s clever persuasion led him to raise his hand accidentally.

And so, by some twist of fate, he joined the “Beautification Committee.”

—

That afternoon after school.

Since it was the start of the new school year, the committee planned to plant flowers in empty flowerbed spaces and pull weeds to maintain the school’s flowerbeds.

Under the beautification committee leader’s instructions, members from first to third years divided the tasks and worked.

“Phew… Is this okay? No, maybe this direction looks prettier,” Hiroyo said.

For Hiroyo, who rarely exercised, squatting to plant flowers was quite laborious.

Still, Hiroyo enjoyed everything now.

It was all because he acquired the “Beauty” gift and met Hibiki and others.

Suddenly, a shadow fell before him, blocking his view.

“Doing it so seriously, is it fun?” a voice asked.

Hiroyo turned and saw an unfamiliar girl standing there.

Her jersey color indicated she was a first-year.

Her black hair reached her chest, and her sharp, slightly fierce eyes gave an impression of displeasure.

“Hm? It’s fun. Planting flowers is new to me, but each one is different and interesting,” Hiroyo replied.

“No one works as seriously as you, senpai. Look,” the girl said.

She pointed to other committee members who complained and worked lazily.

“Well, some might find it troublesome,” Hiroyo said.

“Why do you seem so happy about it, senpai?” the girl asked.

(What’s with her? She asks a lot of questions…) Hiroyo thought.

He answered honestly despite his curiosity.

“I don’t know. Maybe because life is fun now. I feel more at ease,” Hiroyo said.

“Hmm. So carefree, despite being a playboy,” the girl said.

“Huh? What’s that!?” Hiroyo exclaimed.

A shocking word came from her mouth.

“I don’t know!” the girl said.

She quickly left the scene.

“What’s that about…? Is there a rumor among first-years that I’m a playboy?” Hiroyo wondered.

It was true he had relationships with multiple women, but with Hibiki’s approval.

Being called a “playboy” felt unfair to Hiroyo.

After finishing the work, as the sun began to set, Hiroyo went to the water fountain to clean his hands and shoes.

“Hey! Isn’t that Hiroyo-senpai!?” a voice called.

Hiroyo turned and saw a familiar girl.

Her brown hair was long, and her bright, lively demeanor was more mature than a year ago, radiating a strong presence as a beautiful girl. She was Aoi Suzukawa, whom Hiroyo once helped by enhancing her breasts at her request.

“Hey, Aoi. Good work,” Hiroyo said.

“I’m so tired! High school practice is way harder than middle school… What are you doing, senpai?” Aoi asked.

Aoi, fresh from basketball practice, wore her training clothes, sweating and holding a towel, likely to wash her face.

Hiroyo, in his jersey, washed his dirty hands. Aoi widened her eyes at his unusual appearance.

“Beautification committee work. I got pretty dirty,” Hiroyo said.

“Wow, you’re in a committee too, senpai!” Aoi said.

“More like I was forced into it…” Hiroyo said.

He recalled his resentment toward Himari.

But remembering her being overwhelmed by the tentacle slime eased his frustration slightly.

Then, Hiroyo had an idea and made a suggestion to Aoi.

“Hey, Aoi. Got some time after this?” Hiroyo asked.

“Practice is over, so I have time… Are you planning to attack me!?” Aoi asked.

“No way. I want to try something. Everyone’s schedules didn’t match today,” Hiroyo said.

He denied it, ignoring Aoi’s excited expression.

“Really?” Aoi asked.

“You always steer the conversation that way, Aoi… So, is there a place we can be alone?” Hiroyo asked.

“You’re totally planning to attack me!” Aoi exclaimed.

“I said it’s not like that!” Hiroyo insisted.

Hiroyo’s words sounded like excuses, inevitably causing misunderstandings.

Asking about schedules and a private place naturally led to one assumption given their relationship.

“Well, the clubroom might be free. If you wait until everyone changes, I can stay last and get the key!” Aoi said.

“Is that okay? I don’t want to trouble you,” Hiroyo said.

“I’m doing this just for you, Hiroyo-senpai, because I’m cute!” Aoi said.

Aoi had grown confident in her charm.

She was already known as the “prettiest girl in class.”

Who could imagine her spending secret time with a senior she wasn’t dating?

“Thanks. I’ll take you up on that,” Hiroyo said.

—

Thirty minutes later.

Aoi brought Hiroyo to the girls’ basketball clubroom.

The room smelled of deodorant spray mixed with the sweet scent unique to girls.

Lockers lined both sides, and two backless benches stood in the center. The room was clean, with no stray garbage.

“Wait, isn’t it kinda risky for me to be in the girls’ clubroom?” Hiroyo asked.

“Haha. Some might forget their underwear here,” Aoi said.

“Seriously?” Hiroyo asked.

He thought Aoi was joking, but it wasn’t impossible.

“So, what are we doing?” Aoi asked.

“Well, I learned a new skill. I want you to try it,” Hiroyo said.

“What! I’m the first!? That’s so exciting!” Aoi exclaimed.

Aoi was thrilled by Hiroyo’s words.

As she got to know Hiroyo, she realized how popular he was.

Initially, she only met Hibiki, but later saw Hiroyo with other beautiful girls like Koharu, Kirino, and Asami.

To Aoi, it looked like he was surrounded by them, which was true.

Hibiki told her he had relationships with various women, so Aoi thought her priority wasn’t high.

But being the first to try his new skill gave her a sense of specialness.

“The new skill is called ‘Lymphatic Massage.’ It helps with fatigue recovery and other effects. Since you’re tired from practice, it’s perfect,” Hiroyo said.

“A massage! It’s different from the others, right? Fatigue recovery is amazing!” Aoi said.

Her sparkling eyes were a rare sight in the classroom.

The details of the skill ‘Lymphatic Massage’ were as follows:

Method: Rub the targeted area

Effects: Stamina recovery, fatigue relief, swelling reduction, immune system boost, relaxation, improved circulation, menstrual pain relief, constipation relief

Side Effects: Temporary warmth and increased sensitivity

Hiroyo understood.

This skill was entirely different from his previous ones.

“So, can you lie on that bench?” Hiroyo asked.

“Sure!” Aoi said.

Without prompting, Aoi began undressing, quickly down to her underwear.

(Wow, a sports bra… It’s surprisingly nice…) Hiroyo thought.

Aoi wore a gray sports bra, a rare sight that struck Hiroyo.

The bench was cold, so Aoi laid her towel down and lay on her back.

“Hey… Didn’t you wipe off your sweat?” Hiroyo asked.

He had been wondering why Aoi was still in her practice clothes when she came to get him, despite having time to change.

“Hehe. Aren’t you naughty, Hiroyo-senpai?” Aoi teased.
