Chapter 16: Virginity seems to have both positive and negative connotations
Virginity seems to have both positive and negative connotations
It has been two days since I collapsed from anemia.
Yesterday, I returned to school after recovering, but Hizuki-san only apologized to me before class, and there has been no conversation after that other than work-related matters. Even when I try to initiate a casual conversation, she skillfully redirects it back to work.
I rarely interact with Hizuki-san at school, and we rarely cross paths, me consciously avoiding it, making conversation even more unlikely.
Besides, if I were to approach her in front of our classmates, it would only worsen the current situation, where I already stand out due to my relationship with Sakiba-san.
The more I observe from a distance, the more I realize that some things are best admired from afar. I wish I had experienced a warmer atmosphere with her…
With things still awkward, I reached the end of the school day without any improvements. The weekend is approaching, so tomorrow and the day after are school holidays. I hope that by the end of this weekend, we can return to a smoother relationship.
As I tried to avoid the jealous gazes of my male classmates, I headed to the back gate to leave the school grounds.
Just as I passed through the bicycle parking lot, I overheard an unfamiliar conversation.
Curious, I hid behind the shadow of a bicycle nearby, trying to eavesdrop. Unbeknownst to them, they hadn’t noticed my presence.
“Eh, really? So that means Lilith didn’t sleep with that guy?”
“That’s right~”
I recognize Sakiba-san’s voice, the one who responded to the unknown speaker.
While hesitating to reveal myself again, I cautiously observed the situation. There, to my surprise, I saw the familiar peach-colored hair swaying, belonging to Sakiba-san.
She was talking to two other girls who had black, curly horns and heart-shaped tails, blatantly exposing their chests and thighs. Apparently, these girls were also succubi like Sakiba-san.
They spoke politely, indicating that they were seniors.
The seniors acted as if he was a chair, sitting on the back of a shirtless guy, who was on all fours, easily supporting the weight of both of them. It was evident that he was well-trained.
I couldn’t help but feel thankful for Sakiba’s kind treatment, which prevented me from experiencing such an embarrassing situation.
The scene was bizarre. I wanted to comment on it, but I suppressed the urge.
However, the conversation took a turn when one of the succubi sighed heavily and responded.
“Haah… Lilith, as succubi, we can’t survive without extracting life energy.”
“Lilith is the only virgin in our high school, you know?”
“Well, I am thankful for the senior’s feelings, but I want my first time to be with someone I love.”
As expected of succubi, it seems they have no concept of beating around the bush. Their conversation makes me uneasy.
Meanwhile, Sakiba-san, surprisingly responded with a more maiden-like answer…. her sense of chastity seems quite normal.
It was intriguing to witness such a contrast between her dominant approach and her conservative beliefs
“As succubi, you should stop having such childish dreams.”
“Come on, guys are easily persuaded. You can make them agree with you in no time.”
“Otherwise, you’d be disqualified as a succubus.”
As I listen to this frivolous talk, an awkward atmosphere begins to envelop them.
As the conversation became tense, the two seniors started blaming Sakiba for her different values, which they couldn’t understand.
While it might sound appealing from a human’s perspective, it might be considered unconventional from a sexually liberated succubus’s viewpoint.
“Do you think we won’t be mocked by our fellow succubi if we let one of our own get looked down upon?”
“Why is a virgin like you more popular than us? It’s seriously unbelievable.”
“I-I don’t know what to say…”
As if to prove a point, the irritated seniors start blaming Sakiba-san.
Hey, this is no different from cornering her by using their status as succubi as an excuse.
It’s ironic that even among succubi, differences in values can lead to exclusivity, which is just as bad as humans.
Even though it’s been only two days since I’ve interacted with her, watching her being treated like this is extremely displeasing.
“If Lilith lacks confidence as a succubus, then how about borrowing our pets? Come on, stand up and accompany Lilith.”
“Hahaha! Lucky you, Pochi!”
“Oink…”
Treating it like a brilliant idea, the seniors get down from the man’s back and order him. Without showing any resistance, he stands up.
“Uh, um, Lilith…”, Sakiba-san hesitated.
“Don’t run away. Once you do it, everything will be easier.”
“Okay, Pochi? Be gentle, okay?”
“Oink-hihi…”
Sakiba-san, who didn’t even give her consent, was unable to escape as the seniors grab her hand. It’s clear that she’s in a pinch.
I know this is an awkward question, but why does a man with the name Pochi make pig noises? Ugh, forget it, I shouldn’t be bothered by such trivial things.
Shaking off irrelevant thoughts, I stop hiding behind the bike’s shadow and stand up. Deliberately making some noise with my footsteps, I approach Sakiba-san and the others, and soon all three of them notice my presence.
…Wait, shouldn’t I count Pochi as well? He’s also a person, right?
Anyway, as I appear, Sakiba-san’s purple eyes widen in surprise. It’s probably because she’s wondering why I’m here.
Though it might seem like a coincidence, now is not the time to explain that to her.
“Sakiba-san, I see you here. We should hurry back; otherwise, we’ll be late for work.”
“Uh, um…”
Pretending I just arrived, I throw a careless remark that doesn’t consider the context.
She seems unable to grasp the situation, and her words get stuck.
However, amidst her anxious expression, I could sense a hint of relief.
On the other hand, my abrupt interruption seemed to annoy the seniors, and they shot me hostile glares.
“Hey, you. We’re having a moment here, so don’t interfere.”
“Or are you trying to act cool just because Lilith is here? Ha, you’re ruining it with that pathetic virgin scent wafting around you. It’s already a lost cause.”
“Are you trying to score with her? How creepy~”
“Haha…ahaha…”
Their harsh insults forced me to smile wryly.
Is it really necessary to say such things? Of course, sensing someone’s chastity is one thing, but having a “virgin scent” just sounds offensive. It’s hurtful to be told that I emit a bad odor, and I can’t help but wonder how I could have a good smell instead.
“Buh-hehe, acting all cool and being a virgin, lol.”
“What are you laughing at, you bastard?”
I almost lost my temper at Pochi’s laughter.
Don’t think that it’s not embarrassing. While I might brush it off if it were coming from succubi, being laughed at by guys for being a virgin is undoubtedly infuriating.
Let’s just punch him once. I tried to form a fist with my right hand, but…
“Hey, Pochi! Don’t go talking on your own like that!!”
“Weren’t you talking like this the other day too? Do you want me to add another ‘wait’ week?”
“Buhii! Buhiiii!”
Pochi, who was scolded by the seniors, showed a visibly frightened expression. Especially when they mentioned adding more “waits,” it seemed like he was about to burst into tears, making the situation even sadder.
Yet another point of loyalty to my Lady has accumulated.
To avoid disappointing her, I must help Sakiba.
“No, Tsujizono-kun! You can’t!”
“It’s okay, Sakiba-san. I’ll end this quickly.”
“Tsujizono-kun…!”
As I reaffirmed my determination, Sakiba-san tried to stop me with a voice filled with sorrow.
Is she worried about me?
Even if she is, she doesn’t need to be. I reassured her in my mind.
Still, Sakiba-san remained with an anxious expression… and then…
“──Don’t pick a fight with a pet that’s higher in rank than you!”
“I’m lower in rank than that thing!?”
The reason she used to dissuade me was so shocking that I almost didn’t want to help anymore than when I was sold as a slave.
To be stabbed in the back by the one I was trying to protect… Is it possible?
At least let me be on the same side as you until I can help you.
[T/n: 🤣🤣🤣 that took quite a turn there…]
