Volume 6 Chapter 3 (1/2)
The Fujita fay,
but Mutsuki did not have trouble getting up in the
But just because he did not have trouble
did not ood at it
However…
Rinnnng,
rinnnnng
Yet again, he got out of bed at 5 AM at the
insistence of his ringing cellphone
“hello?”
“Are you up?”
“Yefh”
“We meet in the Student Council Room at
0600 again Don’t be late Got that?”
His groggy ed to answer “yes” He
suppressed his desire to dive right back into bed and got dressed He put on
his gym clothes instead of his uniform He had 3 pairs, but it was a little
da them every day lately and his laundry rotation
could not keep up
The sun had yet to color the eastern sky,
so the living roohed and prepared breakfast
like usual
“I’ain”
“Welcome back, Micha-san”
After having fun on her motorcycle all
night, Micha returned at around half past five He had already explained the
situation to her, so she chuckled at the tired look on Mutsuki’s face
“Was her name Ren-chan? She must really
like you”
“This isn’t easy…”
“Don’t blaive off
this aura that irls want to take care of you”
This was nothing as kind as taking care of
hih
“Is Ange in her room?”
“Yes …I think She left yesterday like you
did I went to bed at 10 and haven’t seen her”
He had no time, so he ate his breakfast while
preparing the food and placed Micha and Ange’s portions on plates After
brushi+ng his teeth and finishi+ng getting ready, he grabbed the bag with his
school supplies and uniform in it
“I’ll be going Make sure Ange doesn’t
sleep in”
“Will do~”
To arrive by the promised time, he left the
house when the Septeht
He arrived at school at 5:50 He left his
bag in the classroo to the Student Council Room
“0555 You made sure to arrive 5 minutes
early Well done”
She was already there
Ren also wore her gym clothes and she
nodded when the boy arrived
“To hone your charitable heart, let’s get
to work preparing for the cultural festival”
She stood straight and directly faced him
Mutsuki was fully awake now but still weary She, however, exuded motivation
and eagerness from her entire body
“Are you ready, Fujita Mutsuki?”
“…Yes”
“Show y than that”
“Yes!”
3 days had passed
Mutsuki was being punished for his deviant
sexual behavior on ca
deal out of it and so President shi+rohara was personally overseeing the punishment
Plus, Machina had not been all that angry
in the first place, so it was s
The personal punishiven to Mutsuki
was to assist with Student Council business until the cultural festival
Basically, he did odd jobs to prepare for
the festival
It seeh Mutsuki
alone had to take over all the help for a festival held by the entire gigantic school
Ren had made a number of comments:
“Listen, Fujita Mutsuki I once monitored
you, so I don’t think you are a vulgar person to the core I think you merely
lost your way in the 5 one”
“You hold an important position as the
bearer of the Serpent’s Eye I understand how finding yourself in that position
during adolescence can blind you to what is right But that is why I wish to
guide you to a pure and wholesome life”
“A wholesome mind is built upon wholesome
deeds Regain your pure self with volunteer work”
“Don’t worry I ith you”
It was unclear how she viewed this, but
Mutsuki had never been able to say “no” and this was shi+rohara Ren-senpai He
could not defy her
“Today, ill be weeding the area around
here I want the lawn to look nice for the festival”
“Okay”
He was entirely unable to complain as she
had hi to do all sorts of odd jobs
Today, it eeding The schoolyard and
edges of the sports ground had not been maintained over summer break, so there
were plenty of weeds growing
Even if it was still cool so soon after
sunrise, it was heavy labor He eating after only 15 minutes Sweat
stained his work gloves and soot inside them
At the very least, this was not a job for a
nor at this hour …He frohile the smell of the
weeds pricked at his nose
But this was the 3rd day Mutsuki was more
or less voluntarily participating in this harsh early- work
He was not obligated to do this, so he
could skip it if he wanted
Then as he doing it? Part if was his
easily influenced personality Part of it was self-punishment because he felt
bad for what he did to Machina, even if she was not saying anything about it
Part of it was shi+rohara Ren’s charish some
fairly ridiculous demands
And…
“Oh… Look, Fujita Mutsuki”
“Yes?”
Ren called him over while crouched down
next to the school building
Her work gloves were even muddier than
Mutsuki’s and she pointed at a pale crireen
surass
“It’s a cosmos In japan it’s also called…an
autumn cherry blossom, isn’t it?”
“Yes I see it’s still a bud”
“It must have wandered in here from
somewhere It would be a shame to uproot it There’s a flower bed in the
courtyard that isn’t in use, so let’s move it there”
She s around
it
———And part of it was because she would
spend time with him
President shi+rohara Ren had a strong sense
of responsibility, so she had begunbecause she had ordered him here
in the nauidance
“Don’t
worry I ith you”
Just as she had said, she performed all of
the odd jobs alongside hi She
was always here early in the
She had no obligation either, but she put
in the sauidance He could hardly complain
about that
And there was one last part of it…
“Time to carry it over …Oh, the dirt is
falling away Fujita Mutsuki, hold it in”
“Oh, yes, yes”
Ren made a bowl out of her hands and tried
to carry the cosmos and the root ball below it
Mutsuki wrapped his hands around hers from
below to catch any dirt that fell out
They earing work gloves, but he still
felt his cheeks grow hot fro,
so she did not notice
———The last part was of course that he had
feelings for her
“Kyah!”
“Eh?”
He heard a cute scream
Wondering what it was, he realized Ren was
acting oddly
Her eyes were as clear as the September sky
and they were opened wide
Her usually intelligent face looked more
like a puppy now He tilted his head, wondering what had happened
“Eek”
She tensed up and let out another cute
shriek
Her shapely chin was pulled all the way
back to her throat to look down at so: her own clothes
Then he realized that a 5cm object the
color of a dead leaf had hopped from the cosmos and onto her clothes
Specifically, onto the na on her chest
“Oh, a grasshopper They’re pretty common
this time of year”
It was fairly big but not a big deal It
was only a grasshopper
He did not often cos at his
age, so he smiled at it
But the girl with it on her chest was not
s at all
“Uh, uhhh, um, Fujita Mutsuki Sorry, but…”
“Yes?”
“Hwah…it’s crawling up”
The uncooperative grasshopper crawled up
her gyround
In other words, it was approaching her
face
“G-get it off, get it off”
Her mouth flapped and her voice was shrill
Mutsuki was taken aback
(…She’s so cute)
He smiled bitterly
“Do you not like bugs?”
“No, I don’t Um, hurry?”
“Oh, yes, yes”
He reached out his hand
Mutsuki was a boy, so he was not afraid of
a bug like this He tried to grab it, but…
“Hyahhh!”
Despite being a boy, he forgot how bugs
worked As soon as he tried to grab it, the grasshopper juht
toward Ren’s face
The frozen girl ed to use her true
reflexes to dodge to the side with incredible speed
With nowhere to land, the grasshopper fell
into the grass and the cosround And…
“Ah… Um, senpai?”
It must have really scared her Ren was
tre to Mutsuki
Like a s to the arm he
had not reached out toward her
(Oh H-her boobs are touching me…)
This unexpected contact with his beloved
upperclassman caused the boy to freeze in place
He had been holding this arm out to hold
the cos from her chest to her stomach
against the length of the arm
Most notable was his upper arm squished
between her breasts
(Hers are pretty big too Oh, but they feel
a lot different from Ibekusa-san’s…)
“!”
The girl soon came back to her senses and quickly moved away
“My apologies I panicked”
Where had that cuteness gone? She returned
to the usual dignified and intellectual shi+rohara-senpai and cleared her
throat
“I’ll carry the flower, so you continue
weeding”
She picked back up the dropped cosmos It had lost a lot of dirt, so she could
carry it on her own
He was disappointed he could not hold her
hands through the work gloves, but he had just had even more contact than that,
so being with her would be aard He si
Ren’s panic must have stuck with her
because she kept an oddly emotionless face, frowned, and started toward the
courtyard
She stopped after a single step
“I wonder if there are…grasshoppers in the
courtyard flower bed”
“It’s still pretty hot, so probably”
“…”
“O-okay, okay I’ll go with you”
He still did not get to hold her hands, but
he ith her
He got to see an unusual side to this beloved
upperclassht actually be fun
Unsurprisingly, they were downright
exhausted
“Ah~~~”
“Really wears you out, doesn’t it?”
The heavy labor from 6 AM left Mutsuki
about to collapse once classes started
He laid his head on his desk and Sakae
rubbed his shoulders
After being freed at 8, he had changed into
his uniforone to his classroo
were his precious resting time
He currently had about 10 minutes left Machina
and Ange had yet to arrive, but a lot of the boys, Lucia and Sakae included,
had gathered today
“That girl really pissesso
mean to Mutsuki-kun,” complained Lucia
Mutsuki smiled bitterly and shook his head
to say she was not being mean to him
“But it also has got to be nice hanging out
with shi+rohara-senpai like that”
“I know, right? Kah~, I’m so jealous,
Fujita~”
Everyone gathered there began speaking
Gentle Mutsuki could get along with anyone
and ever-positive Sakae tended to attract people to him It was hardly
surprising that their class them, but…
“Hey, hey, Fujita-kun What’s it like being
the president’s personal errand boy?”
“Do you end up alone with her a lot?”
He could not help but think that his job was
attracting more people than usual
The school was viewing Fujita Mutsuki as an
eency helper for the Student Council They could not announce why he had
ended up doing this, but people rarely cared much what the Student Council did
No one had questioned it as he worked with the Student Council early in thethe cultural festival preparatory period for
the past 3 days
But even if no one cared about the Student
Council, they did care about the Student Council President
“Man, I wish I could get that close to
her”
“She’s so damn pretty, isn’t she? Your
average idol doesn’t hold a candle to her”
“It’s not just her face; it’s that body
too She’s slender in all the right places and thick in all the right
places…and her hips are positioned so high Non-japanese blood is a hell of
thing”
Mutsuki was right there, but they ignored
hi the president
This was the natural course of conversation
for boys, so Mutsuki listened in and nodded along
shi+rohara Ren had ant
facial features; her body was also incredible It had been obvious from a
distance, but a closer look proved it all the more
Her arth and
her 160cm body had the head, chest, abdoolden
ratio of a Greek sculpture She could gather attention just by standing there
and her ideal e role in that
Her breasts were beautiful spheres that
looked like 2 eggs side by side Mutsuki would be lying if he said being alone
with her in the e mood
That said, Mutsuki was somewhat accustomed
to being around hot bodies
That previous touch had sent his heart
racing, but he was used to being around beautiful women like Katsue-sensei He
was also in contact with beautiful girls who had a more fetishi+stic appeal such
as Machina with an absurdly large bust on an otherwise average frae who
had an average build with the height of an eleirl
“…”
“Oh, good , Ibekusa-san”
“…Good ”
At that very moment, Machina arrived as
inconspicuously as ever
If she was here, the bell was about to
ring Unable to continue their crude conversation with a girl present, Sakae
and the other classmates returned to their desks
Only Lucia and Machina remained
…And Machina seemed to have already
forgiven him for the incident 3 days prior
She had already known Mutsuki tended to get
carried away, so she may have been used to his occasional extreme request
Machina herself did not mind, Ren alone was
angry, and Mutsuki alone felt self-loathing
The pregnancy test and a FeTUS test had
both rejected the possibility of pregnancy They were apparently still
investigating the reason for the lactation
Mutsuki felt somewhat relieved and somewhat
disappointed That slight aardness reained his
usual relationshi+p with Machina
“Huh? Come to think of it…”
He realized the desk behind her was empty
That was Ange’s seat
Machina always arrived just before the
bell If she was here but Ange was not, then Ange was late
“Deryaaaahhhh! Made it!”
At that very moment, she dove into the classroom
Her tie isted, her buttons were done
up wrong, and she was generally a iven her cellphone a wakeup
call at around 7, but she one back to sleep
“Sigh C’mon, stupid Mutsuki You need to
leave my lunch in afor it”
She stomped over and sat down She was
quite sweaty
“Huh? Didn’t I leave your lunch on the
table?”
“It was next to the sink I spent forever
looking”
“Oh Sorry But isn’t that one of the first
places you would look?”
“Uuh… Well, I was running late after going back to sleep”
I
knew it, thought Mutsuki with a bitter smile
Ange wrinkled her brow in annoyance, but
she was not the type to complain when it was her own fault She fell silent and
looked the other way
Then their teacher arrived and the time for
chatting ended
I
need to make takeup calls from now on, decided
Mutsuki
(Ange went back to sleep)
Did that mean she had been out somewhere
during the night again?
That one concern stuck with him
Thetime,
but Mutsuki also had to carry out Ren’s instructions during the cultural
festival ho 6th period
It had been a difficult day Since the
homeroom took up both 5th and 6th period today, he had been called to the
Student Council Roo lunch And not all of his tasks were physical labor
like that
“Umm”
Megutono Academy had more than 20 school
buildings, so there were a lot one would never visit during a normal life
there
Building East 2 on the northeast of the
grounds was one of those
It was generally known as the Music
Building It was 3-stories tall and all of the rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floor
were used for er music rooms for
the brass band and the choir The 2nd floor contained smaller classrooms, but
they had been soundproofed and filled with acoustic equipment for the clubs that
wanted to start bands
Si had beenplace for those who loved musical instruments
Mutsuki was not all that interested in
o there
But for those in a band, the cultural
festival was thewith the
preparation for the exciting season
“Please write your requested time on this
form and drop it off at the Student Council Room by afterschool Friday”
“Sure thing♪”
Feeling glad they seemed nice, Mutsuki
finished his task, stepped outside, and sighed
His job today was to confirm the number of
clubs and bands that wanted to perfor the cultural festival
All he had to do was bring them the form,
but…
(Uuh~, this makes me so nervous)
He had trouble with people he did not know
and he was hesitant to knock when they were practicing music, so this was a
difficult task for him
“That’s the brass band and choir done Next
is…”
His ht about
where he was going next
The 2nd floor was for individuals who had
formed a band instead of more traditional clubs
While the 3rd floor had been built for
music in the first place, the 2nd floor had modified normal classrooms into
music rooms, so it had an entirely different atmosphere The hallas full
of large equipment and instruments, so there must have been nowhere else to
store the material, so
it was dark
Plus, this was a haunt for rock bands
This was only Mutsuki’s personal ie of
rock bands, but he assumed he would have to face slender macho men with spiky
hair who dressed skimpily to show off their bodies
This boy had overcome threats to his life
in conflicts involving angels and demons, but he was still afraid of that type
“Excuse meeee”
He hesitantly knocked on the first door
He would wait a few seconds If no one
answered the door, could he report to Ren that no one was there? He felt like
that would be dishonest, but…
“Yes? Ahn…what is it?”
The door opened
Rudely enough, Mutsuki felt his fears had
been confirirl who opened the door
She was froh school Her hair had
been bleached a nearly-white brown and her skin ell tanned Her eyes were
accentuated by extreme mascara and she had color contacts in, so he naturally
flinched back upon seeing her
She as known as a black gal Mutsuki
had heard there were a few of those in the high school, but he had never seen
one up close since there were none in the rew flustered
“Um, I-I’m from the Student Council It’s
about the cultural festival”
He wanted to get this over with as quickly
as possible, so he handed her the form and explained how to fill it out
He glanced inside the room and found it had
been remade into their personal studio It did not look at all like part of a
school They had brought a sofa and table in and “Silvia” ritten on the
ith laminate letters That may have been their band name
The band had 4the one
that had answered the door They als because 3 of
them had skin tanned at a salon and bleached, wavy hair There were soht
differences in their fashi+on, such as wearing a scarf and knit hat despite the
heat or having a tear sticker next to just one eye
Mutsuki’s eyes naturally turned toward the
last one: a less stylish girl sitting quietly in the back
“…Fujita-kun?”
“Eh? Oh, Niki-san”
He realized she was a classmate
It was Niki Hozumi from his class He recalled
that she was playing in a band for the cultural festival This seemed to be
that band
“Eh? What’s this? Is he a friend of yours,
Nikki?”
“Is he your boyfriend? Well, is he? C’mere,
you”
The other 3 grew excited and pulled him
inside
They had him sit on the sofa and then two
of them sat on either side of him The club president sat across the table from
him
“Hm, you’re pretty cute So, Nikki, is this
the Satowa boy you were talking about?”
“N-no This is, um, Fujita-kun”
The other three were upperclassmen, so even
strong-willed Hozurew obedient here
Mutsuki froze up at the sudden turn of
events
The three older girls seemed to subscribe
to the idea that a friend of a friend was a friend because they grew overly
faht their faces in
close, while ignoring how their boobs and thighs pressed against him
“I’uys
this cute in our class”
“Na ha ha He’s blushi+ng I like this kid He’s
just my type”
“Um, um…”
Trapped between them, Mutsuki had no idea
what to do
Sitting in the seat across from him, the
club president suggestively sucked a lollipop with her thick lips as she casually
read through the form He had to stick around until she understood it
(N-not so close Your boobs are touching
me… Niki-san, help me, Niki-saaan)
He sought Hozumi’s help, but as the
underclassman of the club, she only smiled bitterly
All in all, the high school gals molested
him for 15 minutes
It was 30 minutes after that when Mutsuki
trudged back to the Student Council Room
Just as he had feared, he had run across
people with spiky hair and lots of makeup, but he had fortunately found them to
be normal people when he spoke with theone
smoothly
That said, he was still exhausted when he
left the Music Building
(Personal clothing and piercings… Hard to
believe they’re from the same school)
Mutsuki was in a bit of a daze
The members of Silvia in the first room had
left the strongest impression
He had no prejudices against black gals
Even if hers was natural, he had a roommate with the same color of skin
But it embarrassed him when they approached
him so unreservedly
The band members were Nikki (ie Niki
Hozumi), Mami, Amu, and Teruyo (The others had not told him their real names)
They were searching for a male vocalist for the cultural festival and they
wanted Lucia After hearing Mutsuki was friends with him, they had asked him to
help convince Lucia
…Did that ain?
While hoping “Nikki” would get the other
three to give up, he entered the
“…”
But despite the trouble he had with them,
his skin felt like it was on fire
They were hot And even if they had not
been, having 3 girls pressing up against him would do that
Plus, the dark skin of those black gals played
a role
A brown-skinned young woman had forcibly
taken his virginity and he had slept with her as her lover many times since then
“Ahh…”
A sharp sensation ran through his lower
body and si caused him to bend over
He had hid it by positioning it in his
pants, but his dick had been rock hard ever since visiting that room He was in
public, but he had trouble walking like this
It was due to having those tanned girls
clinging to him
That had reminded him of that
lust-inspiring woman with the same color of skin
But Micha was not the only one he remembered
He also thought of that girl he had met in his
