No Wonder I'm Unwanted in This Chastity-Reversed World - Chapter 32

Chapter 32

“…”

Um… Did I just hear the word “seduce” from Rui’s mouth?

“Seduction”… Is it that kind of seduction? You know, the kind that gets a man, well, in the mood?

Filled with persuasive lines and abundant physical touch—where the girl takes the lead.

Well, I had to remind myself that we were in a world with reversed gender roles. Maybe things worked differently here?

I had never been popular with girls, neither in this life nor my past one, and I had no experience being seduced, so I really had no idea what to expect.

For now, all I could do was pay close attention to Rui’s next move.

Even through the bath towel wrapped around her body, I felt a soft sensation. Rui’s chest was pressed against me.

“Ikuto, your hands are so large. Even though I’m a little taller, your hands are considerably bigger than mine.”

“W-Well, I am a guy…”

Her smooth, white hand touched my rugged one. It felt slightly ticklish. If this was what seduction was like, it was still too early to tell.

“You also have a nice physique…”

“I-I do work out.”

Following Rui’s gaze, I looked down at my abs. 

They were toned, to say the least.

My build wasn’t massive; I had just the right amount of muscle. But you couldn’t really tell under my clothes. Was this what they call “looking slim when dressed”?

“Do you work out to attract girls?” 

“Y-Yeah…”

“I see.”

“By the way, do girls actually like muscles?”

I was a bit curious.

It was something that had been on my mind. I had asked my mom and Kuno before, but the answers I received were rather ambivalent.

“I’m not particularly a muscle fetishist or anything…”

Huh? Did I even need to work out in the first place?

Just as the thought crossed my mind, Rui’s gaze wandered over my entire body.

“Mm. Right now, the way you look, Ikuto, is really cool. I like it. Actually, I like everything about you.”

“!”

Her words weren’t mere pick-up lines; they likely reflected her true feelings. Her eyes narrowed, and she smiled contentedly.

“Fufu, are you blushing?”

To make her point, she pressed her chest against my arm even more.

I had assumed that in this world with chastity reversal, she would be aggressively forward like a predatory beast. 

But she was more subdued than I’d expected.

Even if Rui’s actions were subdued, everything else about the situation was already quite intense.

We were alone in this enclosed bath space. 

Her gestures as she tucked her damp hair behind her ear, the sweat at the nape of her finely textured, smooth, white neck, the soft, sweet scent unique to women tickling my nose—all were disarming.

And whether because of the hot water or not, her bath towel seemed to loosen, gradually revealing her ample chest. 

I had resolved not to hold back or hesitate, both to understand Rui better and to be clear about my own feelings. 

But if I let my guard down, this situation could become dangerous in various ways.

“Haah…”

“?”

I took a deep breath and exhaled.

Calm down, me… We are in the middle of a field trip, after all.

“Ikuto? Is my seduction not working on you?”

“No, I’m already pretty damaged, okay? I’m practically on the brink of death here.”

“I’d be worried if you were actually on the brink of death… How can you recover?”

“Are you asking that on purpose?”

“Fufu. I feel like I’m getting the hang of this.”

Getting the hang of it? That’s the last thing I need! But it seemed like Rui wasn’t very experienced with this seduction thing either, so maybe I could endure it this time—

“Hey, Ikuto.”

“W-What is it?”

“How do you feel about my body?”

Her eyes were slightly moist. Whether from the hot water or something else, her cheeks were flushed, and her breath was warm. And those sweet words that could lead my mind down all sorts of paths…

It seemed I had underestimated what it meant to share a bath with a girl.
