It Doesn’t Have To Be A Bag

Today was finally the promised Sunday, and I was just floating around in the morning.

It must be impossible not to be excited about the fact that I will be graduating from virginity

“I’ve cut my nails, trimmed unwanted hair, and now I’m ready to go.”

While muttering such things, I left the house and started pedaling my bicycle to the nearest station. From there, I planned to take the train to Shinjuku Station and meet Himemiya-sensei.

I kept pedaling my bicycle for a while while enduring my erection to the point of pain, and reached the station. Then I got on the train that arrived and started heading towards Shinjuku.

“..Shinjuku Station is full of people.”

Shinjuku Station has the highest number of passengers in the world, so it was easy to imagine that there were many people, but even so, it was a lot. With that in mind, I started walking toward the fashion building at the east exit, where I was to meet Himemiya-sensei.

Just as I was about to reach, a vibration in my pocket made me stop and take out my phone. When I unlocked my phone, I received a message from Himemiya-sensei on LIME.

“Um….right so, I have some errands to run today so it’s canceled ?!”

To my surprise, I received a message from Himemiya-sensei informing me that it would be difficult to meet with her today due to urgent business.

I was depressed to see that, but I cheered up a bit when I realized that it was only postponed, not canceled, considering that the last part of the message said we would meet next week.

“I guess I’ll have to wait until next week to lose my virginity.”

I replied to Himemiya-sensei’s message and was beginning to think about turning around and going home, when suddenly I was startled by a tap on my shoulder from behind.

I hurriedly turned around and to my surprise, there stood Ellen, dressed in plain clothes.

“………I wondered who it was, and it’s Ellen, huh. I was really surprised when you suddenly tapped me on the shoulder.

“Sorry, I didn’t expect you to be so startled.”

“It’s totally fine, don’t worry about it. By the way, what a coincidence that we met at a place like this. Do you have some business in Shinjuku?”

Ellen said sorry to me with an apologetic look on her face, and I asked her what I had been wondering.

Then Ellen started talking, looking a little sad.

“I was supposed to hang out with a friend today, but they cancelled on me because they had some urgent business…”

“I see. That’s sad.”

“So I was thinking about what I was going to do now, and then I saw the back of a familiar figure, and I just tapped on your shoulder.”

Apparently, Ellen, like me, had lost her plans due to the other party’s urgent business.

As I was thinking about this, Ellen asked me a question that I honestly didn’t want her to ask me.

“By the way, what are you doing in Shinjuku, Kaito-kun?”

“Uhh…….Actually, I also had plans to meet a friend. Well, it turns out that my friend had something urgent to attend to and couldn’t come.

I couldn’t say that I had come to Shinjuku to have sex with Himemiya-sensei, so I lied.

I was worried that if she asked me specific questions, I would fall apart and expose the lie, but fortunately, Ellen did not pursue the matter any further.

We were walking around the station, talking about what we could do together since we had come all the way to Shinjuku, when Ellen noticed something and called my attention to it.

“Look, Kaito-kun. Isn’t that Himemiya-sensei?”

“You’re right.”

Ellen pointed in the direction and saw Himemiya-sensei standing fashionably dressed in front of the ticket gate.

The way she was scurrying around, she might be meeting someone.

I began to wonder if it was urgent that she meet with that person, but I almost screamed when I saw the tall man who had arrived.

Surprisingly, it was Alan who had appeared before Himemiya sensei. They met up and walked away from us, arm in arm, as if they were lovers.

“…..Kaito-kun. Don’t those two look kind of suspicious to you? It looks like they are about to do something bad.”

Ellen spoke to me with composure as I was panicking, unable to understand the situation at all. But I was so upset that I honestly didn’t have time to even think about that.

The image of Himemiya-sensei and Alan with their arms around each other as if they were lovers had been stuck in my mind for a while.

“I’m a little concerned about those two. Let’s follow them.”

Ellen took my hand and started following after them. I was still in a state of panic, but as I noticed that they were heading in the direction of Kabukicho, I gradually began to get a bad feeling.

(TL/n: Kabukicho is one of the major entertainment and red-light districts in Shinjuku, Tokyo)

When the two entered the 2nd Block of Kabukicho, the feeling became even stronger. And the moment they entered a certain building, the feeling turned into conviction. They are going to have sex in a love hotel.

“….no, why….”

I was struck by a feeling of intense despair when I saw Himemiya-sensei happily walk into the love hotel, and I collapsed on my knees at the spot. I must have started crying as I noticed that my vision was turning into a blur.

“Ka-Kaito-kun, are you okay?!”

When Ellen saw me like this and started talking to me about various things in a bloodthirsty manner, though none of her words fell on deaf ears.

Didn’t Hinemiya-sensei invite me to have sex with him because she likes me, so why did she go inside a love hotel with Alan?

I was tempted to scream, but all that came out of my throat was a feeble sound. Suddenly, I couldn’t breathe well as I imagined the two of them happily engaged in the act in the love hotel.

Somewhere in the back of my mind, I thought that I had probably hyperventilated due to the sudden stress, but there was no way I could calmly deal with the situation at hand.

I was struggling on the spot with an inarticulate voice, but Ellen took an action I had not expected. Suddenly she grabbed my face with both hands and put her own lips on mine.

“! ?”

I was astonished when Ellen kissed me, however it began to reduce my hyperventilation symptoms.

“…..you have calmed down for now. It doesn’t have to be a bag.”

“……Th….an…k…..Yo…..u…..”

Although I still had shortness of breath, I expressed my gratitude as the symptoms had improved considerably.

Then Ellen smiled gently and opened her mouth.

“I will always be on your side, Kaito-kun. So cheer up.”

The kind words from Ellen had a tremendous effect on my heart., which had been torn to pieces by the betrayal of Hinemiya-sensei.

Looking back on it later, it may have been from this time on. A slight, dark possessive feeling toward Ellen that I had never had before, was slowly taking root in my heart.
