Chapter 120 New Room: Matsushita Chiaki
"!!"
"Regardless of everything, I am very grateful to Chabashira-sensei for the birthday gift. In the future, if there is anything you need me for... preferably nothing troublesome, I will do my best to help."
Even though Chabashira Sae's motives weren't pure, the fact that she was willing to spend one million points to let him contact his family and friends was an indisputable and massive favor!
"It's no longer necessary." Chabashira Sae shook her head expressionlessly.
It looked as though she had truly given up on her obsession with Class A.
However, Hikigaya could see a trace of lingering dissatisfaction between her brows. He understood that an obsession held for ten years wasn't something that could be set down overnight.
But as the saying goes, "the one who tied the bell must be the one to untie it." Whether or not she could walk out of her past obsession depended entirely on Chabashira Sae herself.
To avoid waste, Hikigaya drained the last bit of coffee in his cup. Just as he was planning to return to the sleeping quarters, he encountered a shirtless, muscular young man in the shadows of the corridor.
"Koenji?! Why are you here..."
At this moment, Koenji Rokusuke was wearing a loose white robe; it seemed he had also just come out from a SPA treatment.
"As a beautiful man, is there anything strange about absorbing the essence of the moonlight?"
'Bullshit! You were clearly hiding in the corner eavesdropping!'
Hikigaya still held a sliver of hope and asked tentatively: "So, since when were you...?"
"Since the moment Miss Chabashira was having a 'foot-based' exchange with you."
"Stop!!!"
Hikigaya was instantly horrified and hurriedly interrupted the other's shocking statement: "Hey, hey, hey! Don't talk nonsense!! Chabashira-sensei and I didn't have the kind of strange exchange you're talking about!"
"There is no need to be shy. Kicking is a very common method of flirting."
Koenji Rokusuke spoke with total composure, as if he were discussing what to eat for a late-night snack.
"However, teacher-student relations belong to the realm of the forbidden. Fish-eye boy, you are quite bold! Even I feel a sense of admiration."
'This bastard, every single sentence is a landmine!'
Hikigaya looked frantic: "Please stop talking, Beautiful-bro!"
"Beautiful-bro? It seems you too have been captivated by my beauty~"
Koenji Rokusuke was in high spirits.
"Rest assured. I will not tell outsiders about your 'affair' with Miss Chabashira."
"There is no affair! You guy who never listens to people..." Hikigaya was irritated. "Forget it, give me your phone!"
"Hehe~ Although I generally don't give my contact information to males, for you, who possesses beautiful potential, I shall make an exception this once."
Koenji Rokusuke was straightforward and tossed his phone directly to him.
Hikigaya opened the contact list.
'Good grief!' Almost every single entry was a girl's name—there were over twenty of them!! Moreover, most of them were senpai.
Is this guy an onee-san hunter?
"Your gaze has suddenly become very shallow. I browse through a garden of flowers; how could a commoner possibly understand?" Koenji Rokusuke struck a haughty pose.
"You pervert! If you're building a harem, just say so! Don't act all serious about it..." Hikigaya rolled his eyes hard.
Then, with a few taps on the phone, he transferred 200,000 personal points to the other.
"Wasn't the employment action on the island only 100,000?" Koenji Rokusuke actually had some principles.
"The remaining 100,000 is 'hush money' for tonight," Hikigaya said irritably.
"While it's completely unnecessary, since you've offered it proactively, I shall reluctantly accept it with a smile."
Usually, when Koenji Rokusuke went on dates with senpai, the latter would treat him and pay the bill; he rarely needed to spend points.
However, Hikigaya's previous words had struck a chord: At the very least, you should pay for the "barriers" yourself.
After finishing the transaction with Koenji Rokusuke, Hikigaya could finally return to his sleeping quarters. By the time he finished showering, it was 2:00 AM.
Hikigaya fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow. As per custom, he entered the dream world.
A strange ceiling, a strange room.
"Why is it different again? Is there a new 'house'?"
Having experienced this many times, Hikigaya wasn't surprised; instead, he felt a faint expectation for his "new wife." Just then, the sound of the door opening came from the entrance.
"Hachiman, I'm back~"
It was a sophisticated woman wearing a fashionable long dress, with brown hair reaching her waist, tall and well-proportioned.
"This time it's actually you..." Hikigaya stared with wide eyes, full of shock.
Matsushita Chiaki. A person who kept a very low profile and enjoyed being a spectator.
"Chiaki... you finally became the 'melon' being eaten!" A mysterious sense of gratification rose in Hikigaya's heart.
"Yeah, I was originally acting as a wingman for my best friend, but while doing so, I accidentally fell for your schemes."
Matsushita Chiaki took off her boots and stepped onto the wooden floor in her black stockings, walking straight toward him. The distance between them shrank to a single step; they could even smell each other's breath.
"?"
Matsushita Chiaki pursed her lips and signaled him with her eyes.
'It's this, right? It means "that," right?'
Hikigaya understood in a split second! He had experienced similar scenes in his dreams many times before. He was already skilled through practice.
He took a deep breath, raised his hands to cup her cheeks, leaned down, and kissed her.
"Eh?!"
Matsushita Chiaki's eyes flew open. "Wai-wait a minute... Usually it's just a kiss on the cheek, why so suddenly today... mmph~"
Matsushita Chiaki touched her lips with her fingers, her face full of bashfulness.
"I want to get closer to Chiaki, is that not allowed?" Hikigaya proactively took her hand.
In the dream, he was already familiar with this routine, so he was naturally at ease during the actual operation. Besides, the stimulation from reality—whether it was the SPA with three
girls or the heart-to-heart with Chabashira-sensei—had added fuel to the fire in Hikigaya's heart!
He just wanted to release himself completely right now.
"Why... is Hachiman so skilled...
Could it be... you practiced with Kei and Maya..."
'What nonsensical things is this girl talking about?' Hikigaya had already reached the point where the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.
During the process, Matsushita Chiaki kept saying strange things like "It's not my shift today," "Wait a bit longer," and "They'll be back soon."
Although Hikigaya felt confused, he didn't think much of it. Regardless of all that, he would finish the "business" at hand first!!
The one-hour "duo-queue" (intercourse) gradually drew to a close... Hikigaya still felt unsatisfied and wanted to go for another round.
Right at that moment, the room door was opened with a key once again. What came into view were the previously mentioned Karuizawa Kei and Sato Maya!
"Hachiman, Chiaki, you guys...?!"
