Vol. 4 Chapter 2.4

Translated by SoundDestiny Edited by Kaepinned

The newly acquired 『Revisit』, with Tashiro-san as the corruptor, was an absurdly useful feature.

“Isn’t……it is like anywhere door…….?”

The door that appeared in the wall of the old school building, peeking out from there, I let out an involuntary exclamation of admiration.

It only took a few seconds to reach the school.

Although there was a restriction that it must be a place I had been to before, as long as I met that condition, I could go anywhere in an instant, which was a really useful feature.

[Tomorrow I can have more last minute sex. Guhehehe …] With an overjoyed look on my face, I strode quickly to my classroom, thinking such things.

In front of the classroom door, I touched the back of my head with my finger to make sure.

No problem, the bandage was in place. It hadn’ t come undone.

After all, it happened yesterday. If they found out I didn’t have a scratch on me, it would be more than suspicious.

When I stepped into the classroom, all my classmates’ eyes were on me at once.

For a shy person, the number of stares were almost lethal. As I turned my head and took my seat, I could hear them whispering.

“Isn’t this bad? Mai-chan didn’t come to…..school, maybe he is the guy after all……”

“How can he still come to school? He must have a thick skin or something……”

The situation hadn’t changed at all since yesterday, so it was only natural but this was quite hard.

As I was cowering to my seat, Kurosawa-san entered the classroom.

She looked around the classroom and came straight to my seat.

Then, as I thought she looked down at me with a grim expression, she said…

“……Good morning.”

──Suddenly, her cheeks flushed.

“Eh, ah, oh, good morning…….”

When I greeted her back with a puzzled look on my face, she looked fidgety and told me.

“Today, we’re going home together. So, you can’t go home without……me, okay?”

At that one word, the classroom was instantly buzzing.

I guessed  that was natural. The way she said it could be very misleading.

By all accounts, she was just a tsundere.

Then, Kurosawa-san looked around menacingly at her surroundings and walked straight to her seat. Soon after, Kasuya-kun walked up to her side and was talking to her as if to ask her something.

‘I hope it doesn’t turn out to be troublesome….’

And of course, it was going to be troublesome.

[Fukuda’s POV]

“Haaa……Okinawa,is the best!”

In the morning, tropical drinks while lying on deckchairs by the pool.

Yes, it was highbrow, trendy and celebratory.

The yellow and orange colours formed a multilayered pattern in the glass and the rim was decorated with sliced dragon fruit. It was nothing short of sublime, to put it mildly.

“Mmm, Rin-chan, you’re so cute, Rin-chan.”

I looked at my face reflected in the glass I held up through my sunglasses and muttered to myself.

“That’s why the boys won’t leave you alone, you’re so cute.”

‘How many guys have picked up on me since I came to Okinawa?’

One after another when I was dancing in a club. When I was tanning on the beach. When I went to the fishing port, the fishermen treated me like their granddaughter and pampered me.

Well, the last one was not a pick-up…..but if a beautiful girl like me was alone in a resort like this, it was natural that any boy would want to talk to me. I got pampered a lot. I felt a bit like a princess.

I’d go out to eat with them (but only if they were good-looking), and I’d even let them dance with me at a club (but only if they were good-looking).

But that was it.

There were some very cool boys, but I was not a cheap girl.

I never gave out my room number and I tried to come home early in the evening. I was not interested in one night’s avant-garde. My first time would be with my favourite guy, romantically, in a suite at a resort hotel. That was what I had decided.

I enjoyed a tropical drink and took a swim. I had brunch at the poolside buffet and returned to my room before noon.

I felt pleasantly tired. Going back to my room, taking a shower and having a nap. In the evening, the hotel would provide a courtesy car to take me to the American Village for some shopping.

I would probably get picked up again, so if there was a man who looked rich, it might be a good idea to beg him for a present.

As I was walking thinking about this, I passed a very large man in the corridor.

He was dressed in a dark suit that didn’t look out of place in a resort and wore sunglasses. His lips were shaped in a pout, and he looked like the Terminator.

Probably bodyguards or SPs, something like that.

This was a high-class resort, so there might be celebrities here. It would be nice if I could get to know them.

If I were to hang out with a celebrity and I caught the eye of a famous producer who said, 『Hey, you want to be an idol?』 then I would reply, 『Yes, I do.』.

And, in no time at all, I would become a huge national star. I became a celebrity. Being pampered wherever I went and ……I couldn’t stop imagining such a lifestyle. Today’s nap was going to be a good dream.

I went back to my room and opened the door with the key card. I didn’t remember leaving the room with the curtains closed but the room was dimly lit.

“To be famous~♪ To be pampered~♪”

I stepped into the room singing like that, inserted my card key into the slot next to the entrance and, poof, the light came on. At that moment…

“Haha, welcome backー!”

A girl’s voice echoed unexpectedly, and I jumped up involuntarily.

“W-w-w-who are you! This is my room!”

When I hurriedly turned my eyes towards the direction of the voice, I found a girl sitting on the bed, dishevelled.

Blonde side-tail. A gal in a worn-out school uniform. She had brown tanned skin and looked like she was playing around.

I recognised her……. That creep guy’s girlfriend – I thought she was Fujiwara-senpai.

I was upset by this, too.

“Heh, you’ve got the wrong room…”

I called out to her, thinking that such a thing was impossible. I couldn’t think of anything else to say.

“It’s not wrong. I’m here to see you, Fukuda-chi.”

“Fukuda-chi…… But I don’t know you.”

“That’s true, but Fukuda-chi seems to know me.”

“How did you know……that I was here?”

Fujiwara senpai then shrugged her shoulders in an exaggerated manner.

“Iyaaーit was really tough. I just told my stepfather all about it. As soon as we graduated from college, we got married immediately, Fu–min joined my stepfather’s company immediately, we lived together on the same property, and the name of the grandchild was left to my stepfather, then he finally agreed to cooperate fully. But still, it’s Okinawa, it’s hot, it’s the worst, isn’t it?”

I couldn’t stomach the story at all.

“MmーYou look like you still don’t understand …… Then, why don’t I tell you the travel agency that Fukuda-chan used, the airline company, this hotel, and if you want, the club you were playing at yesterday, all belong to my stepfather, you know?”

I couldn’t help but widen my eyes.

‘W,what’s this! Was my information leaked?’

“C-Compliance and P-Privacy!!”

When I raised my voice, she smiled and said.

“It doesn’t matter, does it? I really don’t care about that.”

She made a sweeping and decisive statement.

‘This is so absurd! I have to run away!’

I tried to rush out into the corridor. But when I opened the door, the big man in the dark suit from earlier was standing in front of me.

‘Why? He just walked that way! Is this the [I’ll be back] thing? Is that so?’

[TL: アイルビーバック]

As I stood there, I heard Fujiwara-senpai laughing happily behind me.

“Ahahahahaha, you can run away if you want. That’s the moment you’re finished, Fukuda-chi. I’ve done some research. Fukuda-chan’s father works for 00 Engineering, right, the New York branch?”

“Y,yeah….what about it?”

“Aaa, you haven’t seen the news today. Well, My stepfather bought 00 EngineeringーJust・ for ・me.”

“………..Eh?”

“If Fukuda-chan won’t listen to me, I’ll have Fukuda-chan’s papa promoted to branch manager. Placed in a country town in South East Asia. It’s not exactly a town right now. I’m going to buy up a farmhouse and call it a branch office. Fukuda-chan’s papa will not have a job nor any subordinates, so I guess he’ll just sit around watching the buffalo. Fukuda’s dad will definitely be surprised, isn’t he? He never thought he’d be transferred to a farming village in South East Asia because of her daughter’s mischievous behaviour.”

“Wait, wait, wait!? That’s such nonsense!”

“Ahaha, I’m not being unreasonable, I’m just hoping that if a cat bites a lion’s tail, it’s better that it doesn’t get killed.”

‘……Seriously. She’s smiling, but her eyes aren’t.’

“So, if you don’t want things to get any worse, you’ll come with me, won’t you? Oh, this hotel is affiliated with us, so we’ll pay for your accommodation and you don’t have to worry about the air fare.”

She said this and walked up to me. Then she whispered in my ear.

“I’m looking forward to it. I’ll make you famous. But I don’t know whether you’ll be admired or not….”

I couldn’t stop my body from shaking.

The sound of my own throat rattling was unusually loud.
