The Villain Who Got Pinned Down Until He Ran Out Of Stamina ~ This Time I Raised The Protagonist's Affection Too Much And Everyone Fell For Me~ - Chapter 51: "...I'm Glad It Didn't Show On My Face"

While Yuji was at the beautiful sisters’ house, Hibari was with her elder sister Saori at Yuji’s apartment.

As Saori excitedly looked around the room, Hibari was brewing tea with a somewhat exasperated look.

“Hey Hibari, do you like your master?” 

“…Excuse me?”

At the sudden question, Hibari stopped pouring from the teapot. Almost imperceptibly, her cheek seemed to twitch slightly. 

Saori, sensitive to her sister’s reactions, noticed this and continued, “Let me change the question. Is there anything you’d like to do for your master?” 

“The intent of your question hasn’t changed.” 

“Oh come on, it’s fine! So, what do you think?” 

“Something I’d like to do for him… Would the master be pleased if I, as his maid, did something different from usual?” 

“Now, now, don’t put yourself down! Hibari, you’re an attractive young woman! Your master probably has that sloppy smile on his face every day thinking how cute you are, right?” 

“Yuji-sama’s face is scary.” 

“I know that! But that’s not what I meant… Anyway! Someone as cute as you doing something special would definitely make him happy!”

Saori continued as Hibari still looked unconvinced.

“You said it’s the last day of midterm exams, right? How about giving your master a reward to say ‘good job’?” 

“A reward?” 

“Yes, a reward! Your master has been working hard studying for exams, hasn’t he?” 

“That’s true…”

As someone living with him, Hibari knew well that Yuji had been studying late into the night for his midterm exams.

Hibari put her finger to her chin, thinking. Suddenly, she remembered a conversation at the shopping mall…

“Come on, Yuito is a guy! Even if he weren’t… I’d probably manage somehow! No, he’s definitely a guy! Of course he is! So I don’t need bathing practice!” 

“I see. So you’re refusing to bathe with me.”

“…Mixed bathing.” 

“Oh? I didn’t expect such words from your mouth, Hibari… That’s surprising. Rather erotic, even!”

Hibari suddenly realized she had spoken aloud. She tried to correct herself immediately, but…

“The first one is mixed bathing… It’s decided! ‘The Maid’s Bathing Service’! Your master is so lucky! I wish I could trade places with him!”

Saori was too excited, so Hibari quickly determined that correction was impossible.

“What else, what else!” 

“Something else… I can’t think of anything.” 

“Think a little harder~ For example, something like… physical service ♪.” 

“Please stop saying such things, even as a joke.” 

“I’m sorry~” 

“Even if I did such things, I think Yuji-sama would run away rather than be pleased.” 

“Oh? Is he a wimp?” 

“Not so much a wimp as an unconscious wimp.” 

“Ah, that’s even worse.”

While tapping her forehead and saying “oh dear,” Saori thought of another idea.

“Let’s make a lottery. Three options should be enough. If you tell him, ‘These are rewards for working hard on your exams♡’ and let him choose, he won’t be able to refuse.” 

“You have a cunning mind. But I can’t think of any other options.” 

“Just make all three options about bathing.” 

“Sister, you’re really clever in strange ways.” 

“Hehehe! You could praise me more, you know? Wait, did you just call me ‘sister’?! You did, didn’t you!” 

“I did not.” 

“Say it again~”

Hibari headed to the kitchen with the teapot, trying to get away from her noisy sister.

“The Maid’s Bathing Service…”

Would someone like her really be a reward?

“Hmm. You care enough about him to want to give him a reward, huh…”

◆

“Now, Yuji-sama. Please lie down on the mat facing up.” 

“Let’s not do that, it’s really not funny.”

When he entered the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist, Hibari said that to him. Looking carefully, there was no mat. 

…Thank goodness.

“Hey, what exactly is this ‘Maid’s Bathing Service’?” 

“…” 

“?” 

“What would you like me to do?” 

“You haven’t even thought about it?”

Well, she did say Saori had made the lottery…

“If you’re just going along with Saori’s mischief, you don’t have to force yourself.” 

“I’m not forcing myself.” 

“O-oh?”

She seemed strangely eager, but I was pretty sure Saori had put her up to this. Hibari still hadn’t decided what to do, so before she said something strange, I should…

“Then, would it be alright if you washed my back?” 

“Understood.”

While Hibari wet the body towel and worked up a lather, I sat down on the chair.

T-this was making me nervous…

Feeling uneasy, I fidgeted with my fingers, touched my arm… and eventually, turned my head slightly to glance at Hibari.

Hibari was also wearing just a bath towel. A single towel meant the contours of her body were more visible…

Her well-maintained, beautiful black hair flowing down to her waist. She had a good figure, with a slim waist but curves in all the right places. Especially now, her ample chest was clearly visible.

Her beauty rivaled that of the beautiful sisters.

Hibari was… really beautiful…

I was reminded again of this obvious fact that I’d forgotten due to how comfortable I was around her.

If Hibari had appeared as the main heroine, protagonist Yuito would have been attracted to her right away…

“Yuji-sama. I’ll wash your back now.” 

“Ah, y-yes. Please do…”

It seemed she had finished her preparations. I straightened my back and faced forward as she first lightly rinsed my back with warm shower water. Next, she washed my back with a body towel full of lather, gently stroking.

“How is the pressure?” 

“It’s just right…”

The comfortable soapy sound of scrubbing, and a firmness that didn’t hurt the skin while thoroughly removing dirt.

Squish, squish.

“…”

Occasionally, something soft that was definitely not soap bubbles touched my back. Not being insensitive, I immediately realized what was touching me.

…Breasts. Those were definitely breasts!!

She needed to get close enough to wash my back properly, but there were certain parts of the body that protruded. Those were breasts!!

“Haa…” 

“What’s wrong, Yuji-sama? Why are you holding your head?” 

“No, it’s nothing. Please continue.”

This was bad… Something about both of us being in just bath towels was making stupid thoughts cross my mind…

Hibari was seriously washing my back. I should accept it with dignity.

“Your back is so big, Yuji-sama. It’s sturdy.” 

“…!”

Why did she have to say such sensual things at times like this!!

“A-alright. I think my back is clean enough now, you can rinse it off…!” 

“Yes.”

After rinsing off the soap, as I expected, Hibari asked, “Yuji-sama. What would you like me to do next?” 

“Hibari…” 

“Yes, what is it?” 

“I’ve already enjoyed the reward enough, we can finish now.” 

“…”

Hibari maintained her usual expressionless face, but… I could feel her thinking “Excuse me?”

“Think about it. Just seeing a beauty like Hibari in nothing but a bath towel is reward enough, and having my back washed on top of that is beyond a reward—I might be punished for such good fortune!” 

“Why are you holding back when I’m doing this of my own will?” 

“…Ugh.”

That was completely logical. If I refused now, I’d be wasting Hibari’s goodwill, but…!

“Hibari, you’re incredibly beautiful.” 

“Excuse me?”

Even I questioned why I had suddenly said that, but I had no choice but to be honest.

“You’re beautiful and have a gorgeous body… Someone like me can’t handle anything more from someone like you, my heart wouldn’t be able to take it…”

My face felt incredibly hot, so I turned away from Hibari.

This was embarrassing… It was a different kind of embarrassment than just being in the bathroom with only a towel. This was actually worse…

“So Yuji-sama can make that kind of face too.” 

“Huh?” 

“Your face is bright red.” 

“?!”

Being pointed out made me blush even more, but Hibari maintained her usual poker face. Why was I the only one feeling self-conscious…

“If Yuji-sama says we’re finished, then I’ll get out.” 

“Yeah… I’ll take my time alone now…” 

“Please enjoy your bath.”

Hibari left the bathroom. I heard her change her clothes and close the door.

“Haah…”

I let out a huge sigh.

“Hibari’s bathing service… If we had continued, who knows where it would have led…”

.

.

.

I thought that someone like me, who didn’t show emotions or facial expressions, would be boring to Yuji-sama if I did anything other than my maid duties. Even if it didn’t go that far, I thought it would end uneventfully as usual.

But then—

“You’re beautiful and have a gorgeous body… Someone like me can’t handle anything more from someone like you, my heart wouldn’t be able to take it…”

His face was red all the way to his ears, his eyes slightly moist from embarrassment.

—He was genuinely flustered.

“…I’m glad it didn’t show on my face.”

Because seeing Yuji-sama’s expression for the first time like that, I might have turned bright red myself.
