The Story Of How I, A Gloomy Guy, Ended Up Surrounded By the Top-Tier Beautiful Girls In Class After A Seat Change

Chapter 120: Airi and the Beetle♡

—— The next morning, 5:30 a.m.

“Ryota! Get uuuuup!”

A loud voice woke me up early in the morning.

I slowly opened my eyes after sleeping soundly, and in my blurry vision, I saw an unfamiliar ceiling and a beautiful girl with huge breasts and pigtails.

“Huh? An unfamiliar ceiling and a busty girl…No way, did I reincarnate into another world? Then, maybe you’re my mother, and now you’re going to…breastfeed me…”

“This isn’t another world! And I’m not your mom! Geez, stop daydreaming and hurry up, we’re going beetle hunting!”

“Uh…oh, right…I stayed over at Airi’s house.”

As my groggy mind began to clear, I realized Airi was standing there, wearing a straw hat and dressed in long sleeves and pants.

(Oh yeah, I came here to catch bugs…)

The more I remembered the current situation, the more I also recalled that Rui found out about me staying over, and I felt a little gloomy.

She’s going to punish me when I get home…What the heck is that about?

“Come on, put on your long sleeves quickly. We’re going to check on the traps!”

“Alright, alright, don’t rush me.”

With Airi urging me on, I finished getting ready, and the two of us left the house.

Even though the sun was already up, the mountain path was rough, so we walked with a flashlight in hand.

“I’m so excited about catching a beetle!”

Airi was practically skipping up the mountain path, as excited as a kid on Christmas Eve.

However, if there aren’t any beetles, she’s going to be seriously disappointed.

And worse, if it’s not beetles but something like bugs or “G” (you know, cockroaches) that gather, it’ll be even more of a nightmare.

“Ryota, we’re almost at the tree where we set the bait!”

“Oh, right…”

“What’s wrong, Ryota? You look down. Not a morning person?”

“It’s not that…It’s just…well, with how excited you are, what if there aren’t any beetles?”

I told Airi honestly that I was worried she’d be disappointed. Knowing her, she might even sulk like a child.

“Ryota, you’re so sweet and thoughtful at times like this, even though you usually think about pervy stuff!”

“S-shut up. That’s not the point right now.”

“But yesterday, you were all like, ‘Let me fix your bra strap,’ when you probably just wanted to see Airi’s bra, right?”

“Well…maybe…”

“Haha! I knew it!”

Damn it, I thought I’d manage to play it cool with Airi, but of course, she saw right through me.

“But you know, Airi loves both the sweet Ryota and the pervy Ryota. I’ve said this before, but both are a part of you, and I treasure you for it.”

“A-Airi…”

“And even if we don’t catch any beetles, as long as I have the memory of spending time with you, that’s all I need. I had so much fun being with you, Ryota!”

So that’s what it was. I thought she was just excited about catching beetles this morning, but Airi was actually enjoying the time we spent together.

Knowing that made me genuinely happy.

At first, I was worried that spending time alone with her would bore her.

Well then…I’d better have fun, too.

“Alright, let’s go, Airi. Even if the banana trap is surrounded by cockr—bugs, don’t freak out, okay?”

“I won’t freak out! I’m used to dealing with cockroaches!”

“No way…A-Airi! There’s a cockroach on your shoulder!”

“Huh? Nooo! Get it off! Get it off!”

Airi turned pale and frantically checked her shoulder.

“See? There’s nothing there! You liar, Ryota!”

“Well, you said you were used to it.”

“Ugh!”

Airi started hitting me on the shoulder, hard. It simply hurt.

“Don’t be mad. Look, we’re almost at the tree.”

“Hmph…If we don’t catch any beetles, maybe I’ll keep you as my pet instead, Ryota.”

“I wouldn’t mind at all.”

“Of course, you’d say that! But Airi doesn’t want a pervy pet!”

Airi stuck her tongue out at me, teasingly.

I never thought there’d come a day when I’d be jealous of a beetle becoming Airi’s beloved pet…

“Ryota, let’s approach the tree quietly so we don’t scare the beetles.”

“O-Okay.”

Airi and I tiptoed toward the tree where we had set up the banana trap and honey…and then.

“…! Th-there are two of them!”

Airi, though whispering, was clearly excited and shook my shoulder.

Indeed, there were two beetles caught in the stockings we’d set up as a banana trap.

But…there was one small problem.

“Ryota? Why don’t you look happy?”

“N-no, well, you see…”

The two beetles caught in the trap were a male and a female.

And…those two were, early in the morning, fully and openly locked in passionate, physical intimacy.

The male was mounted on top of the female, with his…part…thrusting fervently.

These are way more perverted pets than I could ever be!

“They’re pretty calm, huh? Alright, let’s catch them…gotcha!”

Airi, who was oblivious to this mating behavior, used her net to catch the beetles while they were still “enjoying” themselves and placed them in the insect cage.

It was a summer morning when I truly realized how cruel children can be.

Chapter 121: Special Time Spent in the Countryside

After catching a pair of beetles, we checked the other traps, but the honey smeared on the trees had only attracted small bugs. No beetles were there.

In the end, it seems the banana trap using stockings was the most effective.

“We caught two beetles, a male and a female! We did it, Ryota!”

On the way back home, Airi looked happily into the bug cage as she spoke.

In any case, I was glad Airi was in a good mood.

I was worried about what would happen if we didn’t find any beetles, but thankfully, we caught some (though I was shocked by what they were already doing).

“But is two enough? Normally, don’t you catch more?”

“Hmm, well, there are times when you catch more, but Airi’s totally satisfied!”

As she said that, Airi pointed at the bug cage.

“The male will be called Ryota, and the female will be Airi!”

“What? You’re naming them after us?”

“Because they’ve been so close together even before we caught them! If they’re that close, then our names are perfect, don’t you think?”

Whoa, wait a second. Doesn’t that mean Airi is implying we’re already in a relationship where we…do things?

“Right, Ryota?”

“Uh, yeah, I guess I don’t mind.”

“Then it’s settled! From now on, you’re Ryota and Airi!”

Well, I don’t mind them using our names, but…beetles don’t live very long. I hope they live as long as possible.

(We’ve named this male beetle Ryota…Couldn’t this count as me losing my virginity, somehow?)

Even beetles have lost their virginity, but here I am…At this rate, I might never graduate from being a virgin.

(Even last night, when we slept in the same room, nothing happened…sigh.)

But knowing Airi, she probably has more fun playing these innocent games.

“Ah! Ryota’s climbing on top of Airi again! They’re really such a close pair!”

Even though Airi has the body of a gravure idol, her understanding of these things is about the same as an elementary school kid. But one day, she’ll probably learn about ‘adult activities’ with someone.

With such a large chest and a cute face, if she goes to a university in the city, she’d probably be one of the first to…

Thinking about that makes me feel kind of uneasy.

“Ryota, Ryota! I want to send a picture of the beetles to Yuria and Rui! Can you take one of me with the beetles?”

“……”

“Ryota?”

While I was lost in thought, Airi, walking beside me, lightly tugged on my shirt.

“What’s wrong? You look grumpy.”
“Ah…no, it’s just…I guess, I want Airi to stay the way she is.”

“Airi…to stay the way she is?”

I said that without really knowing what I meant, and Airi asked me to clarify.

What am I saying out of nowhere! Wanting her to stay the same? It’s not like Airi is mine or anything. How arrogant of me!

“That was a weird thing to say! S-sorry!”

“No, it’s not weird at all! I don’t really get what ‘staying the same Airi’ means, but I’ll always be Airi, and we’ll always be together, right?”

While I was getting all moody for no reason, Airi responded with a beaming, sincere smile.

Always…huh?

“Thanks, Airi. I guess I just like how you’re always kind of childish. It bothers me to think you’ll grow up someday.”

“Geez! I’m not a kid!”

“No, that’s not what I meant.”

“But if Ryota likes the way I am now, maybe I’ll just stay like this? I mean, I don’t really get what being an adult even means!”

Airi flashed a bright, white-toothed smile.

A perfect 100-point smile, along with her huge breast bouncing as she laughed.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a girl as adorable as her.

With that much charm, if Airi weren’t so childish, she probably would’ve had all the boys in school wrapped around her finger by now…I find myself thinking.

“But more importantly, the picture! Take a picture of me and the beetles!”

“Uh, picture?”

“I need to send it to Yuria and Rui!”

“Those two don’t like bugs. Are you sure you want to send it?”

“Yes! Especially Rui, she’s been nagging me to report anything that happens.”

That “anything that happens” probably means something else…

Despite my hesitation, I snapped a picture of Airi smiling while holding the bug cage.

☆☆

After two days of bug catching, we were heading home on the 10 a.m. bus. We had packed up and moved to the entrance.

Airi was holding the bug cage with Ryota and Airi inside as if it was precious, so I carried her luggage for her…though I wish she’d leave her ‘Busty Bra’ behind.

“Bye, Grandma! We’re heading off!”

“Thank you so much for everything. The food was delicious.”

“Don’t mention it. But before you go…”

Grandma quietly pulled something red from her pocket.

“Here, Airi. I fixed your bra for you.”

Grandma held out a massive, bright red bra with rose lace…Wait, w-wait a second!

T-that’s Airi’s busty bra!!!

“Hey! Grandma! Don’t pull that out in front of Ryota!”

“Oh dear, sorry! I must be getting forgetful.”

Even as she said that, Grandma winked at me.

As a former busty woman herself, she clearly knows how to please men…That’s Grandma for you.

“Ryota, did you see that?”
