"You bastard..."
She was embarrassed and annoyed, wanting to teach Tsukikawa Shu a lesson, but she couldn't seem to find any legitimate reason to do so.
However, Tsukikawa Shu paid no attention to her protests at all, and what he did next made Hiratsuka Shizuka panic.
Tsukikawa Shu placed his hand on Hiratsuka Shizuka's thigh, wrapped in black stockings.
"Wait, what are you doing... Take your hand away..."
"Since we're both adults, you should know that everything comes at a price," Tsukikawa Shu said.
"...But I'm not ready yet. Stop... stop... At least wait until we return to the original world..."
Hiratsuka Shizuka was still flustered, covering her chest, but she couldn't withstand Tsukikawa Shu's advances.
She was directly pressed down onto the sofa by him.
Just last night, she had been worrying about not being able to lose her virginity. Today, she had been taken in one fell swoop.
Goto Hitori had just finished resting as well. She walked out of her room, intending to ask Tsukikawa Shu when they would set out to grind experience again.
Then, she saw a scene that absolutely would never pass censorship. Her mouth fell open, and she hurriedly covered it to keep herself from crying out.
"Mm... I'd better not disturb them..."
Even watching made her blush. She silently returned to her room, gave the two people on the sofa one last look, and gently closed the door.
"Still, she does seem a little pitiful, being pinned underneath him... Tsukikawa-kun was clearly pretty gentle last night, wasn't he?"
"Forget it, I should just sleep first..."
Goto Hitori pulled the blanket over herself and buried her head under it to sleep, as usual.
It was just that the room next door would be very noisy tonight...
The next day.
When Hiratsuka Shizuka got out of bed, both her legs were still somewhat numb.
She casually draped a shirt over herself, sat by the bed, and silently lit a cigarette.
"It really is good to be young. His stamina was practically endless."
As she got dressed, she recalled what had happened last night, her face still faintly flushed.
"What did I even do..."
Being forcibly taken once by Tsukikawa Shu on the sofa last night would have been one thing, but when she had hurriedly tried to put her clothes back on afterward, he had hugged her again. After a weak struggle, she had been carried into the guest room to continue.
In any case, she had not slept well at all that night.
"In the end, I still did something like this..."
Holding the cigarette between her fingers, she pressed a hand to her forehead.
She felt some regret, as well as helplessness and embarrassment.
How did that saying go? Since you couldn't resist, you might as well enjoy it?
Just as Hiratsuka Shizuka was contemplating life, she felt a warm, familiar chest press against her back from behind.
"Good morning."
Tsukikawa Shu was still smiling as he always had.
"You're still smiling?!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka immediately flared up. She stubbed out her cigarette and grabbed Tsukikawa Shu's ear behind her with one hand. "Look at what you did last night! Did you have any regard for me at all?!"
"But you enjoyed it too, didn't you?"
Tsukikawa Shu looked utterly innocent.
"..."
Hiratsuka Shizuka thought about it and recalled what had happened last night. In truth, she had no way to refute him.
"Good thing this has been my safe period."
As she dressed, Hiratsuka Shizuka said flatly, "Next time, you're not allowed to just go in like that. Make sure you use protection."
Having spent many years in society, Hiratsuka Shizuka was still somewhat ashamed about such matters, but she was ultimately rational. She was far more accepting than those ignorant young girls.
Since it had come to this, she might as well accept it.
"Mm, I should be more careful next time." Tsukikawa Shu nodded seriously. "I'll just bring two boxes."
He had not expected things to progress this quickly.
"Would you even use them all?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka tapped Tsukikawa Shu on the head with a finger.
"Don't they say women are thirty like a tiger?" Tsukikawa Shu said.
"Your teacher isn't that old!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka knocked him on the head again.
Hiratsuka Shizuka's level was already high enough to enter dungeons with Tsukikawa Shu, so there was no need to keep grinding those low-level monsters.
"Right, Teacher Hiratsuka should also see what class she can become."
Tsukikawa Shu opened the system interface and brought up an Exclusive Class Card he had obtained.
[Scanning user attributes...] [Searching for compatible user attributes...] [Class generation successful] [User Hiratsuka Shizuka's class: Fighter] [Skill acquired: Power Amplification (Advanced)] [After activating the skill, increases the user's defense by 100% and attack power by 100%]
"It suits me pretty well."
Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at the system prompt.
"Power Amplification..."
Tsukikawa Shu glanced at Hiratsuka Shizuka beside him.
Last night, he had held the dominant position. He wondered whether Hiratsuka Shizuka would reverse their positions after using this skill...
"What are you looking at again?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka asked.
"Nothing..." Tsukikawa Shu gave an awkward laugh.
After breakfast, the three of them headed toward the eastern outskirts of the city.
Tsukikawa Shu walked in front, keeping watch for monsters that could attack at any moment, while Goto Hitori and Hiratsuka Shizuka walked side by side behind him.
Only, the atmosphere between the two women had become somewhat subtle.
So making love was that loud?
Goto Hitori had not slept much last night either, because the sounds from the room next door had been far too clear. The more she listened, the redder her face became.
Then she thought about how she and Tsukikawa Shu had done that sort of thing the night before last, about that scene...
And Teacher Hiratsuka had been lying on her side, pretending to be asleep. She must have heard everything Goto Hitori and Tsukikawa Shu did perfectly clearly. She had probably even seen every bit of Goto Hitori's embarrassing appearance...
Ahhhhh! So embarrassing!
Another dark chapter had been added to the kind of black history that made her clutch her blanket and writhe like a worm whenever she remembered it at night!
The more Goto Hitori thought about it, the more she covered her cheeks.
"Say... when that brat Tsukikawa is with you... is he rather rough?" Hiratsuka Shizuka quietly leaned close and asked Goto Hitori by the ear.
For the sake of fighting more conveniently, Hiratsuka Shizuka had tied her long hair into a high ponytail, giving her a spirited and valiant air.
"Huh?"
Goto Hitori froze for a moment, then realized Hiratsuka Shizuka was referring to that sort of thing. Her face immediately turned slightly red.
"Tsukikawa-kun is quite gentle."
Goto Hitori answered weakly.
"That little brat is so rough with me."
Hiratsuka Shizuka became somewhat annoyed when she heard that.
"Ahaha... Tsukikawa-kun is actually quite nice." Goto Hitori laughed awkwardly and kept rubbing her hands together.
Whenever she spoke to strangers, Goto Hitori could never relax. She was always nervous.
"He just treats people differently." Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed.
Then she looked at Goto Hitori's timid appearance again and suddenly became a little interested.
"Hey, what if that brat Tsukikawa wants to sleep with us tonight?" Hiratsuka Shizuka clasped her hands behind her back and looked at Goto Hitori with interest.
Seeing Goto Hitori's extreme social anxiety made one want to tease her. It would definitely be fun.
"Sleep together?"
Goto Hitori's face instantly turned red.
She briefly imagined what would happen if the three of them slept together...
First, her clothes would be stripped off.
Then, she would lie down—or rather, because there was someone else present, her overwhelming social anxiety would make her collapse.
After that, this inconspicuous little nobody would probably be forgotten completely, and the other two would use her as a human cushion!
She would probably become so nervous and socially anxious that she would foam at the mouth and faint, then the other two would do it on top of her!
Finally, Tsukikawa Shu and the other woman would tire themselves out and simply lie down to sleep, leaving her with nothing to do.
That was how it would be, right! It would definitely turn out like that, right!
After all, she had ultimate social anxiety...
"Oysters, oysters, oysters!!!"
"Absolutely not!"
Her head shook like a rattle once again.
That gave Hiratsuka Shizuka quite a fright.
"What exactly is going on with this girl... Should we make an appointment with a doctor after we get back?"
Having only met Goto Hitori for the first time, Hiratsuka Shizuka clearly had no understanding of the absurd scene that Bocchi-chan's incredibly rich imagination had constructed.
After walking for about an hour and leaving the city limits, the three arrived before a stone gate.
The stone gate was two stories tall. Within it was a pitch-black vortex, like a huge bloody maw that devoured everything.
