A Story About Seducing and Imp**gnating the Second Cutest Tomboyish Childhood Friend in the Class During a Two-night, Three-day School Trip - Childhood friend V6C2

While cleaning up after the party, I was approached from behind.

“Shibasaki-san, the guest attendance is over.”

When I turned around after being called, there stood Nanto Aya, who wore the part-time uniform perfectly and had a cheerful expression.

“Nanto-san, you must be tired. You can take a break.”

“Oh, I’m fine. Shibasaki-san, you’ve been working non-stop, right?”

“I’m okay. There’s still preparation for the next party. You seem a bit tired. Take a break now because you’ll get busy again soon.”

“Oh, then I’ll take you up on that.”

With a light smile, Nanto-san walked away.

She’s good at accepting people’s consideration like this. While I intend to be kind, she ends up making me feel good instead.

Being able to do that naturally is probably why people like her.

Nanto Aya. She joined about four months ago and she’s four years younger than me.

On her first day at work, when she introduced herself in front of everyone, she seemed very nervous and shy. But before I knew it, she had already become friendly with the other part-time workers.

I remember when I went out for drinks with the part-timers, something rare for me.

“Shibasaki-nii-san, isn’t the new part-timer today super cute!?”

“Yeah, she’s friendly and quick to learn, so she’ll probably be handling attendance duties soon.”

“No, I mean, she’s totally my type, that kind of girl.”

I thought she was cute, but it seems she quickly caught the attention of the spirited college boys.

“Frankly, those breasts are unfair.”

“Breasts? Were they that big?”

“You’re into slender model-like figures, Shibasaki-san, so maybe you didn’t notice. But I noticed. She’s hiding them with her underwear and uniform, but they’re quite big.”

“Seriously! Cute, petite, secretly friendly and with big breasts, she’s the ultimate package. I want her as my girlfriend.”

“She seems innocent, so maybe start with exchanging contact information? Then gradually invite her for tea or something…”

“No, I think she has a boyfriend.”

When I calmly mentioned it, the tipsy juniors were surprised.

“How do you know?”

“Well, just a feeling? I’m pretty good at that kind of thing.”

“Damn! No wonder you’re not interested in Aya-chan!”

The junior who had started calling her Aya-chan without me noticing was annoying.

“Anyway, I prefer older women. When thinking about jobs and stuff, younger or rather student-aged girls are troublesome.”

“Oh, so Shibasaki-san doesn’t have a specific girlfriend.”

“You’re such a playboy.”

“Hey!”

While chopping the head of the rude junior, I pictured Nanto Aya’s face.

Not exactly innocent, but she’s not used to men. She’s sensitive to people’s kindness but oblivious to men’s affection. She’s not good at showing sex appeal, which is probably why so many people like her. Probably.

“I prefer a bit more mature, taller and sexy Onee-san type.”

“Shibasaki-san is sulky, huh.”

“Hey!”

I chopped the other rude junior.

“Shibasaki-nii-san, but I won’t give up.”

“Huh, on Nanto-san? You don’t even know her personality well.”

“Until it’s confirmed she has a boyfriend, I’ll stick to Aya-chan.”

Saying so, the junior who chugged his beer would end up heartbroken within a week. It was because a girl who had become friendly with Nanto-san spread the rumor during work that she had a boyfriend.

When I subtly asked Nanto-san about it, she answered shyly, “Yes, I do.” I remember feeling her happiness through her shy smile.

After a while, Nanto-san brought a helper.

A tall boy who looked kind at first glance. He seemed a bit absent-minded, but he had a clean appearance and upon closer inspection, he had a good build.

The girls seemed oddly restless or rather, Nanto-san seemed the most restless, so I quickly figured it out.

“Are you Nanto-san’s boyfriend?”

“Yes.”

I was slightly taken aback by his confident response. I thought there might be a bit of shyness mixed in, like with her, but he surprisingly had a calm and manly demeanor.

Ah, I see, he’s a perfect match for Nanto-san, who gives off a somewhat risky impression.

Her boyfriend’s work ethic is serious, similar to Nanto-san’s and above all, his sincere and simple atmosphere was appealing. Seeing the two of them chatting in the courtyard made me smile, like a newly dating middle school couple.

Nanto-san must be cherished by her boyfriend. Even from a distance, that was apparent.

“Shibasaki-nii-san, um… that’s Nanto-san’s boyfriend, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Yeah, I thought so… Man, even a girl like her is probably kissing and doing naughty stuff with her boyfriend, huh?”

“Well, I doubt that, right?”

“Huh, really? But Aya-chan has a ring…”

“Probably, but both of them seem pretty reserved types.”

“Ah… well, yeah, they do give off that vibe. But if Aya-chan were doing that kind of stuff, I’d be shocked and bedridden.”

“Hey, it’s kinda creepy how you keep calling her Aya-chan behind her back. It’s like stalking.”

While saying that to the junior, I became curious about how Nanto-san and her boyfriend would be alone, so after work, I looked for her.

I peeked around here and there but couldn’t find her in the end. I felt embarrassed about what I was doing and headed home alone, feeling empty.

“――Saki-san, Shibasaki-san, did you see Nanto-san?”

In a daze, a part-time girl called out to me.

“Oh, I asked her to take a break earlier. What’s up?”

“It seems like some guests arrived early.”

“I’ll go call her then.”

My body moved naturally. I hurried down the corridor and headed to the break room.

When I opened the door, Nanto-san was sprawled out on the table, fast asleep. I had never seen her sleep like that before. She always had good posture and even during breaks, she would be happily chatting, but this was the first time I saw her curled up sleeping.

“Nanto-san, sorry, it’s about time…”

As I approached and called out to her, she turned her face slightly.

“Mmm…”

Her hand, which had been reaching out, stopped.

Perhaps it was uncomfortable to sleep in that position or maybe because she always wore her blouse buttoned up perfectly, but the first button was undone and a red kiss mark could be seen on her white neck, just barely hidden.

Her lips, shaped beautifully, softly smiled.

“…Boyfriend.”

“Ugh…”

Eww…!!

Her long closed eyelashes, her slightly parted lips, were all so seductive and exciting.

Ah, so that boyfriend of hers… he has her all to himself like this.

Bzzz… Her phone on the table vibrated.

The screen, vibrating intermittently, displayed the name “Ryuji-kun.”

“Uh…”

As she began to stir, I hastily left the break room. From the slightly open door, I could hear her voice, sounding sleepy.

“…Boyan? It’s rare, isn’t it…”

It seemed like her voice was hoarse from just waking up. Even in that state, there was a strange allure.

“Huh, yeah… working. …I’m not sleeping… lie, I was sleeping a bit… Yeah… Yeah, thanks…”

Her gentle tone made my heart race for some reason.

“…Yeah, yeah, you can take a break. …Yeah, Shibasaki-san. …Huh? I’m alone right now.”

My body twitched at being called suddenly.

“…Huh!?”

Nanto-san let out a voice like a new species of bird.

There was a moment of silence.

“…I also… like you the most…”

I ended up leaning against the wall and staring at the ceiling.

(Isn’t her shy demeanor too cute…?)

Even though she usually has a simple demeanor, she becomes like this when she’s with her boyfriend.

“Uh-oh, this is bad.”

“Shibasaki-san, did you see Nanto-san?”

Suddenly being addressed, my heart felt like it might leap out of my chest. The girl who had been working earlier tried to enter the break room, so I blocked her path and stopped her.

“Shi…! The break room isn’t available right now.”

“Huh, what’s wrong with the break room?”

Just as the clueless girl was about to touch the door handle.

“Oh, Shibasaki-san, thanks for the break.”

Nanto-san emerged from inside.

After exchanging a few words with the girl, she smiled happily and said, “Oh, understood.” The first button of her blouse… was securely fastened. But her cheeks were bright red.

“Nanto-san, your face is red! Are you okay?”

The girl peered at her with a worried expression.

“Huh… red? It shouldn’t be… red…”

“Aw, you’re cute like an apple with red cheeks.”

“No, it’s because I just woke up, probably.”

I couldn’t quite understand, but it was clear that she was very concerned about her red cheeks.

As Nanto-san left while being teased by the girl, I found myself staring blankly at her back.

“Ah, Shibasaki-san, are you heading home now?”

Nanto-san’s voice echoed in the entrance hall of the venue like a cat. She was wearing her school uniform, having come straight to work from school. My eyes were almost drawn to her bare legs peeking out from her skirt, but I quickly looked away.

“Yeah, I finished a bit early today.”

Having finished early and unexpectedly ambushing her felt out of character for me.

Well, I know Nanto-san isn’t interested in me and even if I were to approach her, I somehow know there’s no chance. After all, she’s head over heels for her boyfriend. That much was clear from the phone call earlier.

But for some reason, I wanted to know more about her. Despite not looking like it at all, there’s some sort of inexplicable magnetic attraction, like a bewitching charm that once you become interested, you can’t stop. …What’s up with this girl?

We walked side by side along the short path to the exit.

When we stepped outside, she turned to face me.

“Shibasaki-san, do you commute by bike? I take the bus, so I take my leave here.”

“Oh yeah, um, Nanto-san, next time–“

“Hey, Boyan!”

She wasn’t looking at me but rather in the direction of the day after tomorrow. Her eyes widened and wavered. Following her gaze, I saw a tall man standing a little apart.

Nanto-san hurriedly trotted toward him. Then the shadow of the man slowly approached. The face, illuminated by the building’s lights, was her boyfriends.

“Boyan, what’s up? How was work?”

His voice, an octave higher, indicated his surprise and delight.

“I finished early today. I thought it’d be just the right time to pick you up.”

“Oh, you waited here the whole time? Weren’t you cold?”

Her worried voice pricked at my heart. Why does Nanto-san look like she’s about to cry?

“Yeah, I was holding hand warmers, so I was actually quite warm… see?”

Saying that, her boyfriend gently cupped Nanto-san’s cheeks with his hands. She closed her eyes with a contented “hm” and smiled.

Her boyfriend, who had been watching her affectionately, suddenly turned to look at me.

A shiver ran down my spine.

“Ah, thanks… Shibasaki-san.”

My name being called made my spine freeze again.

He approached slowly, seeming unnaturally large. Unlike the last time we met, he was wearing an expensive-looking suit and a thick overcoat. It suited him strangely well.

“You’re Nanto-san’s coworker, right? Thanks for looking out for her.”

“Yeah, I helped out when I was a substitute.”

His smile, gentle and somewhat foolish, had an inexplicable intensity. Was it because I felt guilty for taking an interest in Nanto-san?

“You’re younger, right…?”

“Uh, yeah. I’m in the same year as Aya.”

“I see… yeah.”

Can someone younger exude such a chilling sense of intimidation?

“Hey, if you’d like, have some of this with the staff.”

“Ah, Langue de Chat!”

Nanto-san, who had somehow appeared next to her boyfriend, chanted a mysterious spell.

Inside the offered paper bag was a colorful tin box. Judging by the shape of the box, it seemed to be a type of cookie. If that’s the case, what’s the name of this one?

“Langue de Chat…?”

“Yes, I got it from work. I’m not sure if everyone will like it.”

“Yeah, everyone likes sweet things, so I think it’ll be okay.”

“That’s good to hear.”

Her innocent smile made me relax unintentionally. He seemed like a really good guy. But the oppressive feeling didn’t disappear. At the same time, I felt both fondness and fear… what’s with this feeling?

This is scary…

“I’m heading back. Take care, both of you!”

Saying that, I quickly returned to the building, almost as if fleeing.

As I entered the entrance hall, my junior coworker was standing there.

“Hey, Shibasaki-san, that guy with Nanto-san… is her boyfriend, right? Or is he a different person?”

“No, you’re right about her boyfriend. I got souvenirs, so I left them in the break room.”

I handed the bag of langue de chat cookies to my junior.

“By the way, what were you talking about with her boyfriend?”

“Oh, just exchanged greetings.”

“For someone who just greeted him, Shibasaki-san, you look really tired.”

“Oh… “

Being told that, I realized I was tense all over. I wanted to go home and rest as soon as possible. But there was something I had to tell this idiot junior in front of me.

“You better not mess with Nanto-san.”

“Huh? Why all of a sudden?”

“Just trust me, stay away from her. If you accidentally mess with her…”

I remembered the face of her boyfriend, with shadows cast by the contrast of darkness and light.

It might be an illusion, but I felt something like an unfathomable determination in that gentle expression. If I were to make a move…

“It would definitely become a hassle.”

I couldn’t imagine risking getting involved in something like that.

The image of the two of them staring at each other flashed through my mind. That was probably their own little world. It seemed like they couldn’t take their eyes off each other.

“Maybe I should get myself a girlfriend too.”

“…Can I go home now?”

“Just wait a bit. Don’t bother me.”

I remembered this guy also commuted by bus. If he went home now, he might catch up with Nanto-san and her boyfriend on the way.

I grabbed my dumbfounded junior’s shoulder and dragged him to the break room.
