NTR Kousuke

Chapter 65

※Please note that there are some sexual expressions.

I gave my virginity to Kuzu-kun.

A week ago, I vaguely saw a future where I'd end up with Kousuke-kun after the culture festival, so this past week feels like a twist of fate.

※It was entirely at Kuzu-kun's whim.

Kuzu-kun... I want to call him by his first name, Tatsuo-kun, but since there's the beauty contest, he asked me to stick to his last name for now.

Is this what a break feels like? It's such a strange sensation.

It's late at night, but since my house is close, I sneak out with Kuzu-kun and head home.

Kuzu: "See you tomorrow."

※In a sexual sense.

We kiss and part ways.

I'll never forget today!

I was so excited I couldn't sleep for a while!

And then came the first day of the culture festival,

Kuzu-kun came to pick me up at my house.

Honestly, I want to cling to him and have a lovey-dovey walk to school, but...

As we discussed yesterday, for the sake of the romantic confession plan at the beauty contest, we're still keeping up the appearance of just being good friends.

※Something Kuzu would come up with.

Since we just did it yesterday... it feels kind of embarrassing, doesn't it?

Yeah, since it was my first time yesterday... I still feel a foreign sensation down there...

Beauty contest waiting room.

There were four entries including me from the first-year students.

I greeted two of them.

But that Mishima Satsuki has been glancing over at me for a while now...!

Is she confused because I made it to the beauty contest unscathed?

Using such dirty tricks!

If Kuzu-kun hadn't been there, it would've been a disaster!

※It's a setup.

As I replay yesterday's romantic story of our first time together after the attack in my mind...

Mishima: "Looking forward to working with you today."

Huh? Mishima-san?

How can you even greet me after what you did?

I don't want a dirty woman like you in the beauty contest!

Kousuke-kun has no taste either...?

This girl is pretty on the outside, but inside she's the worst!

※Look who's talking.

I'm so angry,

"Huh? I'm not gonna say nice to meet you or anything. How can you even say that?"

Mishima Satsuki looked pissed for a moment but held herself back, didn't she?

I almost laughed! Is her skin that thick?

※Speak for yourself.

Mishima: "I just greeted you. I don't recognize your face. Who are you?"

I find it funny and can't help but smirk.

She's so bad at acting. Her face is pretty, but she's gonna get fooled by some guy, isn't she?

※Omitted below.

"We've met before, haven't we? Did you forget? That's why you end up in remedial classes."

Her face turns red when I throw that sarcasm at her. Serves her right!

"Didn't you mock me endlessly during summer break? It's me, Yukari Tomonaga. The girl Kuzu-kun dumped during summer break. Have you already forgotten?"

I explained it nice and clear!

So even someone who fails tests can understand, right?

After doing something like that, she's shaken up just because I provoked her!

Test-failer!

☆ ☆ ☆

Finally, the pre-PR event started!

Starting with the first-years, we wear appeal costumes, walk on stage, face the camera, announce our class and name, and say a few words. This gets recorded and played on an endless loop.

I promoted the class's maid café as per Osada-san's instructions!

I asked if promoting the maid café was really necessary.

I mean, it's a beauty contest, so shouldn't I be promoting myself...?

Then,

Osada: "If your self-promotion is too strong, it looks manipulative, you know? Showing that you're doing it for the class makes Yukaricchi look earnest and protects you. Take a good look at Mishima from Class 5. Her self-promotion is over the top and annoying. Oh, and match your PR comment to Mishima's, okay?"

I was dissatisfied. Why should I be compared to a woman like her...?

Osada-san is underestimating me!

Osada: "Using the same comment and wearing the same maid outfit makes it easy to compare. A head-to-head match! In a direct competition, the winner and loser are clear, right? Your costume is already better! Yukaricchi, you're secretly the type who's weak under pressure, aren't you?"

Osada-san is scary! I can't say anything back...

My turn is getting closer,

Mishima: "Tomonaga, what class are you in?"

Huh? I don't want you talking to me.

You're a woman who does dirty things.

※...

"I'm in Class 6, so what?"

It's fine, I'm cuter!

My maid outfit is a custom-made, cute slim line that suits me perfectly!

Mishima-san, haha, she's shaken up noticing that our costumes overlap but the tailoring is different!

Staff: "Mishima-san! Please stand by!"

As expected of a beauty contest participant, Mishima Satsuki walked beautifully on stage.

Satsuki: "1-5, Mishima Satsuki here♪ My friends signed me up without telling me♪ Nice to meet you♪ Please support the maid café too♪"

Mishima Satsuki appealed cutely with a high-pitched voice... She can do that too...?

My turn!

I'm super nervous.

...Ugh, I still feel it inside? I guess every girl goes through this path, but...

There's a foreign sensation down there, and my walking style ends up awkward!

※This was the reason my walking was awkward.

But!

Yukari-chan, do your best!!

You look so beautiful!

Keep it up!

Yukariiiin!

Yukari! Yukari! Yukari!

Cheers for me! Because I'm cute?!

Yeah, I heard someone say they saw the documentary! That's why.

Osada-san did say to act humble and earnest!

I was surprised at first, then hurriedly bowed my head. The cheers got louder...!

"1-6, Yukari Tomonaga here! My friends signed me up without telling me too! Nice to meet you! Oh, and please support the maid café as well!"

That documentary was that popular!

It was tough, wasn't it?

But! That's become my tailwind!

With this, I can win!

After the PR, Mishima Satsuki came to protest.

She asked if I wasn't embarrassed for copying her outfit and greeting exactly the same way.

I thought, what is this trashy woman even saying?

I tried to hold back, but I ended up laughing through my nose, haha.

"Since it's also PR for the stall, isn't it obvious I'd wear a maid outfit? Sorry about the greeting, though. Osada-san instructed me to do it the same way♪"

※As Osada-san predicted, the tension right before made me forget my prepared lines lol

Mishima "Huh? What's the point of doing it the same way?"

She's so slow to catch on.

※Yukari didn't understand the intent either until it was explained.

"I was told to answer with, 'Since you're asking, how about a chicken race under the same conditions?' Osada-san is amazing!"

As I said exactly what Osada-san told me to, Mishima Satsuki was shocked and froze.

...I get how she feels. Seriously, Osada-san is scary.

I relayed what Mishima told me, making sure not to forget to drive the point home about yesterday.

"I was told to let you know that I'll be wearing a white dress tomorrow. You can wear the same or something different, I don't care. But please don't play dirty tricks, okay?"

I love and admire white dresses... but I can't help recalling a scene from the past where a girl who seemed like a friend was bullied, and her white dress got stained, and it hurts my chest.

Still, I think I'm the one who looks best in it.

※Refer to the main story; I couldn't help giving in to peer pressure, but I was the first among the bullies to enthusiastically splash muddy water on her.

Mishima "Hmph, well, tomorrow is the stage!"

That failing-grade girl spouted some villainess-like line and ran off!

She's probably just messing around with her boyfriend to escape reality, right?

※After this, Yukari does something similar.

Feeling quite satisfied, I head back to Class 6!

A kid who saw the documentary compared me to Cinderella.

I loved it! I'm Cinderella!

I'm exhausted! Can I be excused from work... just a little?

Osada "Yukaricchi? Your earnestness is your weapon, you know? Get to work—now!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

I was worked to the bone by Osada-san...!

I think Osada-san underestimates me way too much...!

On the way back, I was scared of another ambush, so I had Kuzu-kun walk me home.

Kuzu "Your first time... was it confidence? Or maybe something hormonal? I feel like you've become so beautiful, you're glowing..."

"...Geez!"

I smacked his shoulder with a 'poke!' and, partly to escape the reality of being overworked, we went into yesterday's love hotel together again today.

It didn't hurt as much as yesterday.

Kuzu-kun is... like a total boob fanatic...

After resting, I head home.

Cinderella, huh... that's me...

Being compared to Cinderella as a girl... I grin to myself, recalling the beauty contest and my fling with Kuzu-kun, and drift into a happy sleep, thinking my magic will never break...
