The School’s Saint Wishes for an Erotic Slave Harem ~ Apparently, She Wants to Be My Personal Lewd Slave ~ - 10

Chapter 10: The Only Person Who Really Sees Me for Who I Am Is Hibiki-Kun (Chiharu’s POV)

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

【Chiharu’s POV】

“Why did Hibiki-kun start hiding his true potential?”

“Actually—”

Kiriha-san opened her mouth to speak. I had always wondered.

Why doesn’t Hibiki-kun go all out? Why does he keep his true potential hidden?

Having watched him for so long, I understood. If he wanted to, he could easily be the top student in our grade. If he joined the student council, he would navigate the task effortlessly. He had the ability, yet he deliberately held back—

“In middle school, a rumor spread that I was dating him.”

“What?! Kiriha-san and Hibiki-kun?”

“Yeah. Someone posted about it on social media, and after that, a flood of hateful comments started targeting Hibiki…”

The nail that sticks out gets hammered down.

That was what Hibiki-kun had said earlier. He stood out, so he was attacked online.

So that’s what he meant…

“They wrote things like ‘He’s too perfect, it’s annoying,’ or ‘He must be cheating on tests,’ or ‘He’s probably dating three cute girls at once.’”

“That’s awful…”

“None of it was true. It was just someone jealous of how talented Yuunagi was.”

“Because of that, Hibiki-kun…”

“Yeah. He didn’t want to cause trouble for everyone, so he quit the student council.”

“That’s unforgivable!”

I slammed my hand down on the desk. It was too cruel. I couldn’t hold back my emotions.

“Hibiki-kun is smart, kind, cool, and an amazing person! The fact that people slandered him like that is absolutely unforgivable! I’ll find the culprit no matter what!”

How could anyone badmouth Hibiki-kun, the one who accepted even the most embarrassing parts of me?

I won’t forgive them! I can’t forgive them!! I’ll track them down no matter what it takes and beat them to a pulp—

“O-Okay, calm down, Chiharu-chan…”

“Ah! I’m so sorry! I got carried away…”

“It’s fine. I feel the same way as you. I can’t forgive the person who wrote those things either.”

My anger boiled over, making me forget myself. I refused to forgive anyone who badmouthed Hibiki-kun. No matter what, I couldn’t stay calm.

“By the way, Chiharu-chan—”

“Yes! What is it?!”

I unintentionally raised my voice. I still wasn’t over my anger.

“Calm down a little… This is just a thought, but… Are you and Yuunagi dating?”

“…Huh?! Ehhh?! Me and Hibiki-kun… D-dating?!”

Caught completely off guard, my voice cracked. My face was probably bright red too…

“I guess judging from your reaction, you’re not dating.”

Kiriha-san let out a relieved sigh and pressed a hand to her chest. She looked really relieved. Was she worried that I might be dating Hibiki-kun?

Wait… Does that mean Kiriha-san…?

“Kiriha-san, do you… Like Hibiki-kun?”

“It’s obvious, isn’t it? Yeah, I like Yuunagi.”

Her sudden confession caught me off guard. Kiriha-san liked Hibiki-kun.

 I had suspected it, but hearing her say it outright made my chest tighten.

“I just… Can’t be honest about it. Even though I like Yuunagi, I end up acting like an older sister. When I’m in front of him, I can’t say I like him honestly…”

Is this a love consultation? What should I do…? I mean, my relationship with Hibiki-kun isn’t even romantic. We’re master and servant. And now, of all people, Kiriha-san, his childhood friend, is asking me for love advice…

“We’ve always been like family, so it feels weird to suddenly act like a couple… Ah! I know!”

Kiriha-san suddenly clapped her hands together. It seemed like she had thought of something while talking to me.

“Maybe I should just force it… You know, do something… Naughty with him.”

“Eh? N-Naughty?!”

“Ah! Sorry! I shouldn’t have said that in front of Saint Chiharu-chan! Forget I said anything—”

Right. Everyone called me “Saint-sana.” I hated that nickname. Because the real me wasn’t a saint.

I want to do all sorts of forbidden things. Because I’m Hibiki-kun’s lewd slave.

“But… If I suddenly did something like that to my childhood friend, he’d probably freak out, right? I’m really sorry. Just forget I said anything.”

“No… It’s okay. I understand that you’re serious about Hibiki-kun.”

“Thank you. I really do love Yuunagi. I’ve loved him since we were kids. I don’t think anyone can beat my feelings for him.”

“I think that’s wonderful.”

“That’s why… If it’s with Yuunagi, I’d be fine with that. I really mean it.”

Kiriha-san spoke with a shy yet determined expression. Hearing her words made my chest ache. Normally, for a girl to take the initiative in something like that would be incredibly embarrassing. Even if she truly loved Hibiki-kun, a normal girl would’ve hesitated. But I had forced myself onto Hibiki-kun. I stripped naked in the park. I let him touch my precious spot on the school rooftop. 

What I did went far beyond anything “naughty”—I was a full-blown lewd exhibitionist. If Kiriha-san ever found out what had happened between Hibiki-kun and me, she’d probably faint on the spot. But for me, there was no other choice—

“…Chiharu-chan? What’s wrong?”

“Ah, sorry. I was just thinking about something.”

“If something’s bothering you, you can talk to me.”

“I’m fine. I just studied too much yesterday.”

“Okay, if you say so.”

Kiriha-san must never find out about my relationship with Hibiki-kun.

“Chiharu-chan, you’re amazing at everything! I really admire you!”

Kiriha-san smiled at me. Right. She genuinely meant it. She wasn’t trying to be mean. I knew that, but…

“I’m really not amazing at all…”

“Hm?”

“Ah, no, never mind.”

The real me isn’t amazing. I’m not hardworking. I’m definitely not a saint. And yet, everyone keeps telling me I’m incredible. Even though it’s not true… The only person who really sees me for who I am is Hibiki-kun.
