Volume 1 Chapter 1 (1/2)

May 13th / 15:43 PM Oikawa Aya

Inside a cafe attached to the school library.

The name of this girl, currently drinking coffee choked with plenty of sugar, is Oikawa Aya.

She's a celebrity whose name is known by all people in the school.

In the basketball club where she belongs to, she's a 1st year who had shown a brilliant performance on the level of an Ace during her club activities. In addition, thanks to her bright and cheerful personalities in everyday school life which don't discriminate between boys and girls alike, she had become a pretty girl who is adored by everyone.

Her friendly and pleasant tone could break the wall between people in an instant, and she had this dazzling aura of a sport-beauty, baby face, and proportion that is similarly extraordinary. Coupled with her small height that is significantly below the average, you can't help but think of her like a small animal too. When she's skittering around from place to place, she would spread smiles to the people around her, and when she act dangerously unwittingly, people would move to protect her because of the childish vibe she exude. In a certain sense, Oikawa Aya is truly what you would call a perfect girl.

“Eh? Hold on, I didn't catch you”

In front of her best friend Moeno, Aya said that while blinking repeatedly.

“Like. I. Said. That new boyfriend of yours, Yuuji-kun was it, he's famous in our cla.s.s. As a pervert that is. He loves stuff like ero manga and ero doujin. I don't know the details myself, but his favorite seems to be the one revolved around netorare”

“Well, since he quit club activities, Yuuji had become a 2D otaku in going-home club indeed. I'm not well versed about those either, but I know that he has lots of manga in his room. I read some of them occasionally, and a lot of them are quite lewd”

“……Yeah, I seriously don't understand why you're dating that kind of man Aya”

“He has a lot of good traits too you know, everyone just doesn't know about it”

After saying so, Aya sipped her sweet coffee strongly.

“Uwaahh. Aya, you made a very maiden-like face just now. Gross. When playing basketball, you have this really scary expression on you. Guess at the end of the day Aya is really a girl huh, or rather, a woman-in-heat?”

“Geez, shut it”

Moeno makes fun of Aya while laughing mischievously.

Meanwhile, Aya grumblingly took her lips off from the coffee straw and exhaled with a *puhah*.

As she felt the lingering bitterness of coffee that was masked behind the sweetness of sugar, Aya recalled the subject of matter that they have at hand.

“——This isn't about that right. Can you explain it once again?”

When Aya asked so while tilting her head, Moeno let out a wide grin.

That smile, which is similar to the one you make when you're making fun of something felt like it's hiding some kind of unpleasant intention behind it.  Noticing that, an exasperated thought ”Here we go again” pa.s.sed inside Aya's mind.

Moeno likes pranks. Even during an everyday situation, she would always try to start something and involve Aya in it. And for some reason, pranks that would make someone seriously angry would be forgiven if the culprit was Moeno.

It's as if Moeno possesses something different—, in relation to her little devil nature,  —compared to a normal girl. Something that is mysterious like a magic.

“Yuuji-kun's birthday is soon right?”

“That's right. Rather than soon, it's tomorrow”

“Won't it be boring to spend his birthday normally?”

“……Not really? This is my first time with something like ‘my boyfriend's birthday', I don't even know what spending them ‘normally' likes”

“Aaaah, my bad my bad. I'll just give it to you straight then”

In front of Aya, Moeno presented her smartphone.

“This is about giving Yuuji-kun [Netorare] as a present”

——Netorare? Aya repeated the unfamiliar word that just entered her ears.

After Moeno followed with 'It's fine, just take a look at this first', Aya lowered her gaze downward.

Moeno's smartphone is protected with a cutesy pink case. Behind its cracked screen protector, on the black colored display, 【With NTR ~ Giving a Couple an Exciting Time as Present ~】 are written.

Under that t.i.tle, long description in white text followed. Seeing that, Aya who was totally lost on all the 2D otaku jargon that Yuuji likes to use is tilting her head sideway with an imaginary question mark floating above her.

Apparently, forcing the…… somewhat dimwitted Aya to read a long a.s.s paragraph is enough to make her mind goes puff.

Not managing to understand their meaning, Aya is going “Uga~~~” and nearly threw Moeno's smartphone on the spot, before she was restrained by Moeno who was yelling “Wai-! Aya you idiot!”

“So, what do you mean, exactly?”

“……Guess I have to make them understandable enough for the musclebrained-basketball-loving-idiot-with-stupidly-huge-b.r.e.a.s.t.s-beautiful-girl”

“Mugu……”

Moeno leaned her body and draws her face closer to Aya's ear.

Like she doesn't want other people in the cafe heard her, Moeno then whispered—

“Have s.e.x with men other than Yuuji-kun, and give the recorded video to him as birthday present”

It took some time before Moeno's words finally registered in Aya's brain.

By the time Aya collected herself enough to make sense of her surrounding, she found Moeno already seated in her seat, looking like she's waiting for Aya to answer.

And she also looks like she's enjoying the situation more than any other person could be.

——Have s.e.x with men other than Yuuji, and record that act.

——Then, give that gonzo video to Yuuji as present.

Aya shook her head in a hurry while going ‘nowaynowaynoway' in her mind.

Compared to the disgust of being held by other people, it's far more embarra.s.sing for her to show such a shameless thing to Yuuji. It's absolutely impossible. 100% not happening.

——In the first place, doesn't that count as cheating? Cheating is bad, that's not right.

——Even if Yuuji somehow is ok with the cheating part itself, it's still……

——Being seen like that would be…… far too embarra.s.sing……

Aya touched her cheeks with both hands. They're hot.

When her face was aligned with Moeno's face in front of her, Moeno made fun of her with the same words once again, “That's the face of a woman-in-heat”, and then she reflectively averted her face downward.

It was a reaction that is very unlikely of Oikawa Aya…..

“Well~ that was a joke. That's obvious right, I didn't even try to make it convincing. Manga would be one thing, but doing that in real life would definitely count as having an affair.  Even Aya who has no experience with dating understand that much, right?”

“Y-, Yeah, you don't have to explain yourself in detail……”

For some reason, Aya felt her chest calming down in relief.

But for around thirty seconds after that, she can feel strange tension floating in the air.

The atmosphere felt as if she was being strangled in the neck gently by Moeno.

“You know, there are people who even forbid their girl from speaking with other men”

“That's…… I understand that, I guess”

“But then again, Yuuji-kun is a 2D otaku who has propensity for netorare, so how about consulting it with him first?  And then if you really going to do it, you can use the site, how about that? I'll send Aya the URL okay”

“I'll never use that even if it kills me. I'm going to block it, first to strike win”

“Uhee~, that would be a problem. I'll have to send it first. Ei~ Ei~”

“Uwaa, You're awful. Devil! Bully!”

“Shut up, you big b.o.o.bed pipsqueak!”
