The Carnivorous Maidens Living with Me - Chapter 20 & 21

Chapter 20: Do You Hate a Physically Restraining Junior?

Social life is a constricting thing.

It could be called a form of restraint.

Bound by time.

Bound by relationships with others.

Bound by the gazes of others.

Sometimes even bound by family.

The world is always tying you to someone or something.

However, within that, one must find a way to escape those restraints, establish oneself, and live while discovering enjoyment and joy.

But unfortunately, there are those who enjoy being the ones who bind others.

Like the junior in front of me.

“Calm down, Hazuki. We can talk this out.”

“I-I’m calm, Senpai. I’ll… I’ll let your body do the talking.”

“You’re not calm at all!”

I thrashed around, somehow managing to pull my smartphone from my pocket.

Holding it behind my back, I sent a message to Sofia.

Help! It’s bad! My chastity’s in danger!

Now, would she notice it?

“Um, um… that’s pointless, you know? I locked the door.”

Taraa, sweat dripped from my forehead as I recalled how I met Hazuki.

…

……

………

I first met Hazuki during the club trial period right after she entered the school.

When she came to the prep kitchen, I thought it was some kind of mistake at first.

After all, she was carrying a huge backpack, like she was going hiking.

“Uh… the mountaineering club’s room is in the outdoor club building.”

That’s what I said to her.

“N-No… I don’t want to join the mountaineering club… I-I was thinking of joining here.”

I was honestly confused.

No matter how you look at it, that’s hiking gear, right?

“Oh, okay. Wanna come in for now?”

“…Y-Yes.”

So she entered the prep kitchen, and I introduced myself, explained the current number of cooking club members, and went over our activities.

Since she showed interest, I suggested we make some simple sweets together.

She seemed shy, looking down a lot, but she carefully watched my example and tried making the sweets.

Every now and then, she’d look at my hands and say, “That looks delicious,” so I thought she was genuinely interested… at the time.

After that, I learned a bit about her.

Her family runs a karate dojo, and she’s decent at cooking but had never made sweets before.

Her overprotective father made her carry a ton of self-defense gear.

Apparently, that huge backpack was stuffed with those items.

I caught a glimpse inside, and it was packed with an insane amount of stuff—ropes, a stun gun, you name it.

Isn’t that heavy?

One day, after she officially joined and we’d had a few club sessions, she said something wild.

“U-Um, um… Senpai! C-Can I eat it?”

“Huh? We just started making it, so it’s better to wait a bit before tasting.”

“N-No, that’s not what I meant… I meant, can I eat you, Senpai? I-I can’t hold back anymore.”

What?

What was this junior talking about?

Eating me? What’s that supposed to mean?

“I-I’ve always thought you looked delicious… You know, I do karate, right? So, I’m the type who wants to completely take down my opponent…”

She was blushing, fidgeting, and holding a rope in her hands.

“H-Hazuki-san? What you’re saying and what you’re doing don’t match!”

I was so panicked I started talking in a weird tone.

“…I-It’s okay. I might not look it, but I’m pretty strong.”

I had a bad feeling but couldn’t help asking.

“…Strong in what way?”

After a brief silence, she muttered.

“…My sex drive.”

Hazuki-san turned bright red.

In that moment, I bolted for the door.

Why?

She seemed so quiet!

She felt so far from anything erotic!

What’s going on?

That day, club activities ended with me just escaping from her and her rope.

I reported it to the president that same day, and after she and Hazuki had a talk, Hazuki toned down the extreme stuff in the club.

I thought things had calmed down.

I didn’t know there were all sorts of backdoor deals between Hazuki and the president.

…

……

………

And that brings us to now.

I was restrained by Hazuki and bombarded with questions.

How was I confessed to?

How far have we gone?

Specifically, erotic questions.

“S-So… your first kiss was stolen, huh… B-But, but, you still have your first time, right?”

What is this girl saying so casually?

“So, let’s get started…”

With that, Hazuki reached for my pants and started undoing my belt.

“Wait, Hazuki-san! You’re moving too fast!”

“Y-You’re right… we should start with a kiss, huh?”

“No, that’s not the issue! That’s not what’s wrong!”

Hazuki closed in, and I turned my face away.

Her face was just a few centimeters from mine when divine intervention arrived.

Gacha!

“…Zee… haa… I’m here to save you, Shoma!”

Chapter 21: The Secret Talk and the Pact of Two

“Heroes always show up late!”

You’ve probably seen that line countless times in TV shows or manga.

And right now, I can’t tell you how grateful I am for it.

“My savior, Sofi!”

“Uh… what’s going on here?”

She had a confused look on her face.

I was tied to a chair.

Right in front of me was Hazuki’s face.

Yeah, anyone would be thrown off by this.

“U-Um, um… are you Senpai’s girlfriend, by any chance?”

“That’s right. I’m Shoma’s girlfriend, Sofia Kisaragi. And you are?”

“Uh, I’m Hazuki Shirasaki, a first-year.”

“Thanks for the polite introduction.”

They met briefly yesterday, but this is their first time actually talking, so they’re introducing themselves.

“So? What are you doing to my boyfriend?”

“I heard Senpai got a girlfriend, and I thought he might be getting tricked, so I was interrogating him.”

“For what?!”

“Uh, well… because Senpai is mine.”

“Huh?”

“What?”

Her words made Sofia and me let out dumbstruck noises.

“I heard that Kisaragi-senpai started dating Senpai the other day. And that it’s because you’re after his body… I’ve been after him for over a year! I liked him first, so please give up!”

The usual nervous, fidgety Hazuki was nowhere to be seen—she spoke with such strong conviction.

“Huh? Wait, what? Hold on, Hazuki! We first met during the club trial period, right?”

“You really don’t remember, do you?”

Her profile looked somehow lonely.

A brief silence fell.

“Even so! Even so, I’m the one who became his girlfriend!”

“Yes, I understand that. Hearing about you and Senpai’s relationship made me decide too.”

Oh man, I’ve got a bad feeling about this.

“So, I’m going to build a physical relationship with Senpai, make him fall for me, and get you to give up!”

“Stop! Wait, wait, that’s crazy!”

“There’s nothing crazy about it, is there? You have that kind of relationship with Kisaragi-senpai, right?”

“No, it’s not like that—well, it is, but it’s not! Hazuki, are you saying I should go for another girl when I have a girlfriend? Right in front of her?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“That’s insane! What are you thinking? Sofi, you’ve been quiet this whole time—say something!”

“…Hazuki.”

“Yes?”

“Let’s have a little talk.”

“Understood.”

Leaving me with a question mark over my head, the two of them walked out of the prep kitchen.

…

……

………

Some time later, they returned, their faces flushed and somehow looking satisfied.

This is, like, the millionth bad feeling I’ve had today.

“Shoma, I think a man’s greatness lies in the size of his heart.”

“Uh, yeah?”

“So, this time, as his girlfriend, I’m giving special permission!”

“Permission for what?”

Next to Sofia, Hazuki spoke cheerfully, her ahoge bouncing myon myon.

“Um, well, a contract to claim Senpai’s body together?”

“Fua!?”

I blacked out, completely lost.
