The Story Of How I, A Gloomy Guy, Ended Up Surrounded By the Top-Tier Beautiful Girls In Class After A Seat Change - Chapter 131

After talking with Airi for a while, we were gradually getting closer to our turn on the water slide.

“Looks like it’s finally almost time. This popular slide sure made us wait, huh?”

“Really? It felt like no time at all to me since I was talking with you, Ryota.”

No time at all, huh…After that weird promise Airi and I made, she mostly just talked about her plans for raising her beetles, and I was just nodding along.

“Well, I guess we should call Rui and the others soon.”

“Roger that!”

Airi then casually looked down at her breasts, slipped her hand into her huge cleavage, and…pulled out her smartphone from there—wait, WHAT!?!?

“Hey! Why are you taking your phone out from there!?”

“Huh? It’s just too much trouble to carry it around in my bag.”

“Trouble’s not the issue here!”

I’ve never seen anyone do something so Fujiko Mine-like in real life before…and besides, you can’t pull that off with an ordinary breast. Only those chosen few, blessed with massive breasts, possess the Boob Bag, Big Breasts Pouch ability.

“Ahem…So, uh, can I borrow that phone for a second?”

“Huh? Sure, I don’t mind…Wait, are you going to message everyone for me instead?”

“Y-yeah! That’s right! I’ll do it!”

“Aww, Ryota, you’re spoiling me too much just because we promised to stay together all day…but thanks!”

Airi, blushing a little, handed me her phone without hesitation. She seemed to have interpreted things in a way that worked out for me.

(Sorry, Airi. This isn’t about kindness.)

Honestly, I just couldn’t resist the urge to touch the phone that had been nestled in her huge cleavage. It was nothing more than a typical desire from a guy like me. With a twinge of guilt, I reached out and took the phone from Airi…Wait, what?!

(Wha-!? It’s warm!)

The phone was warm from being sandwiched between Airi’s breasts for so long, and since it had been thoroughly steamed in her cleavage, it was even a little damp with her sweat.

Despite the pressure and the heat from being in her cleavage, the phone worked just fine. Gotta hand it to Appl●—their technology is impressive.

Thanks to that tech, Airi could carry her phone around in her cleavage without any problem. I owe a big “thank you” to Stev●.

“Wait, why is Ryota holding Airi’s phone?”

As I was busy enjoying the feel of the phone that had been in Airi’s cleavage, suddenly, Yuria and the others came back.

Oh noooooooo!!

“We figured it was about time, so we came back…But Airi, why did you give Ryota your phone?”

“Huh? Because he said he’d message everyone for me.”

“What?”

Yuria’s sharp gaze zeroed in on me.

“W-well, I mean, I’m doing this out of pure kindness…”

“Kindness?”

Even though it was super hot, cold sweat ran down my back. I felt like the cornered culprit at the end of a Reverse Trial.

“Hmm? That’s strange, Ryota. When it comes to messaging, wouldn’t it make more sense to have Airi do it? She can type way faster, so it’s not exactly practical, is it?”

With a creepy smile, Rui slowly stepped closer to me.

“And I seem to remember…when we were changing in the locker room, Airi said something about carrying her phone in her breasts…”

Rui leaned in close and whispered in my ear.

“Perfect, right? My theory.”

“Y-yeah.”

At least she didn’t announce her perfect deduction to everyone else—that was the only thing that saved me.

“Ryota. Hand the phone back to Airi.”

“Y-yes, ma’am!”

With Rui’s words still ringing in my ear, I quickly returned the phone to Airi.

“Hehe, Ryota, you’re so sweet! I can’t believe you tried to message everyone yourself just because my fingers were sweaty.”

“Wait, what?”

Suddenly, Rui was defending me, completely changing the mood.

“Oh! So that’s why Ryota was typing instead of you, Airi?”

“Huh, is that right, Ryota?”

Airi and Yuria both looked at me, asking the same question. No way…was Rui helping me out here?

“Ryota’s so kind! I thought maybe he was just excited to touch Airi’s phone since she uses it every day!”

“No way, that’s something only Kanade would think.”

“Hey! That’s mean, Ichinose!”

In the end, the situation was defused when Kanade got teased instead. I was saved, but…what on earth was Rui thinking?

I glanced sideways at Rui, only to find her staring right back at me.

“Uh, thanks, Rui. You really helped me out.”

“You’re welcome. But, Ryota? Try to control your urges a bit more next time.”

“I-I get it…I’ll reflect on it.”

“Hehe…Well, if you ever find it too hard to control those feelings, you don’t have to hold back with me, okay?”

“Wh-what does that mean…?”

With a wink, Rui returned to join the conversation with the other three.

Airi, Yuria, and Rui…How can they all be so generous, saying things like it’s fine with them? I felt like crying from joy.

(If Rui says I don’t have to hold back, maybe I can ask her to take more selfies for me.)

“Ryota! Ryota! If it’s okay with you, this water slide lets two people ride in a tube together. Want to go down with me?”

“Huh, me and Kanade on the slide…?”

“What? Are you saying riding with someone with a weak body like mine wouldn’t be fun!?”

That’s not what I said…Kanade’s paranoia is off the charts.

“Oh, so that’s what you think, Ryota. How many times do you plan on making me mad today?”

“Wait, Kanade, now Rui’s mad because of you!”

“Hey! Don’t blame this on me! Sure, Rui’s…well, except for her abs and height, she’s not that different from me! There’s no way that perfect beauty Rui would be upset over something like that!”

Th-this girl! She’s provoking Rui even more!

“Heh…Kanade, you’ve always been a pest, being the only one who ever gets close to my test scores, but I never thought you could be this annoying.”

“Haha…I-I can hear your knuckles cracking…Ichinose! Help me out here!”

“Why are you dragging me into this?! It’s your fault Rui’s mad in the first place!”

“Geez! Everyone needs to get along!”

The moment Kanade, who had been socially awkward all this time, jumped into the conversation, things turned completely chaotic.

Yup, Kanade really is something else…

“Rui, just calm down for now. I-I think you’re slender and beautiful, and I wasn’t making fun of you.”

“Oh…I see. What about Kanade, then?”

“Well, Kanade’s…like an elementary school kid.”

“Wh-WHAT!?”

Now Kanade was pissed and started hitting my back, but since it was Kanade, it didn’t hurt at all.

“Anyway, back to the slide…Even if it’s for two people, there’s an odd number of us, so we could split into pairs and one person will still be left alone. I’ll just go by myself. You four can pair up.”

Honestly, I’d love to ride behind Airi and hope for a wardrobe malfunction or sit in front of Yuria and get trapped between her thighs, but saying that out loud is a no-go.

“Eh, but that wouldn’t be fair to you, Ryota!”

“Huh? How’s it unfair?”

“I agree with Airi. I wouldn’t mind riding with you, Ryota, and Rui doesn’t mind either, right?”

“Yup, I’m fine with it!”

Rui shot me a sharp, burning stare.

W-what’s with those eyes…Remember, I’m still a guy here!

“Let’s just decide with Rock-Paper-Scissors. We’ll keep going until we split 2-2-1.”

“Yeah, I’m good with that.”

“Me too!”

“Hey, w-wait a minute!”

No way…does that mean there’s a chance I’ll get to ride with one of these three…plus Kanade?

“Okay, let’s go! Rock-paper-scissors…”
