Shen laughed out loud, tossing his phone on the bed and shaking his head. "Wouldn't they be too disappointed that a virgin applied?" he muttered to himself. "I don't even know anything that has to do with sex."
He sprawled out on his bed, arms behind his head, staring at the ceiling with a clueless grin. "That reminds me... I haven't played Lustbound: Realm of Desire in days."
He sat up, grabbed his console controller, and booted up the explicit fantasy dating game where players built romance routes with seductive demons, royal courtesans, and sultry androids—all with their own animated "intimate" mini-games. The game loaded to its usual dramatic menu music, half-naked succubi winking at him on-screen.
"Maybe this will help me prepare," he mumbled, half-laughing, half-serious as his character was greeted with, 'Welcome back, Master. Shall we resume your pleasure training?'
Shen winced. "I'm doomed."
Still, his fingers danced over the controls, diving into the game as if it might magically turn him into someone experienced enough for the interview tomorrow. The irony wasn't lost on him—his first real-world job offer in months and it had this kind of requirement.
But what else could he do?
At least Lustbound gave him the illusion of confidence. Even if tomorrow... he might just be a blushing mess in front of the most dangerously beautiful woman he'd ever meet.
Shen scrolled through the character selection screen, eyes gleaming with boyish excitement. "Let's see..." he muttered, controller in hand. He landed on a voluptuous, scantily clad avatar with bouncing assets and sultry bedroom eyes.
He grinned. "Of course I want a woman with huge boobs, blonde hair, and a big ass. Way more than Yue Hatake has. Unless—" he chuckled, raising an eyebrow, "—how the hell am I supposed to up my game in banging ladies and finally have sex with Yue?"
He hit confirm, the screen flashing as the character moaned in introduction.
"Hello, Master. Shall I undress for tonight's mission?"
Shen's face heated slightly, but he leaned back, smirking. "Damn right you will. This is training. Advanced banging strategy 101."
He muttered under his breath, "First, virtual ass... then, real ass."
Then paused. "Unless I faint before I even touch one."
Still, he dove into the game, determined to unlock every scenario. Because tomorrow, he'd be walking into something very real—and if all he had going for him was Lustbound stats and delusional confidence?
Well, he'd make it work. Somehow.
The door to the room creaked open and right in front of him was a lady standing in lingerie, her low cut tainted blue. Several piercings on both her ears and her nose. Gon was the first to jump down from his bed and Shen just looked down from the top bunk.
"You can have a sit my beautiful lady. I just need to talk with my boys, okay?" Tenjo from the hallway enter into the room, dropping the flashy multiple shopping bags on the carpet. He took off his jacket, followed by his inner wear until he was left bare with only pants on him.
The lady just nodded, pulling out the reading chair from the table and sitting down. Tenjo cast a glance at her ass and then looked at Jun and Yuki respectively, signalling then to come to the bathroom.
"Bro, the actual fuck. You snuck a girl into the dormitory. How did Miss Sandra not see you?"
"She saw me and usual, she gave me her ass for a slap and let me pass. So guys, that's Kichou. Shen has met her before."
Shen straightened himself up, peeking from the not so closed bathroom door to the lady in the room. She was already undressing, taking off her bra and then leaving on the panties. His face flushed seeing how big her bossom was and then he closed the door, sighing.
Tenjo was truly the 001 player of girls and he...he was just learning how to make a woman moan in his videogame.
"She is just here to spend the night with me. You know then freshen up and leave before Dormitory master comes for round checking in the rooms."
"Bad boy! Tenjo snuck a girl into the dorm. The first fucking rule break in the century. Tenjo, I saw want to be like you when I graduate. " Gon gave him a thumbs up.
"That is your business. Whatever you say I'm not giving you Kichou to bang!"
Gon hissed, fixing hims lf before going out of the bathroom. He entered into the room, flashed her a charming smile and then grabbed a shirt from his closet and headed out. "Now Gon is out of the equation, it's just me and you now."
Shen laughed awkwardly. Tenjo's phone rang and he cursed seeing his mother's name on it. "Mom, can you call back later, I'm a bit busy!"
"The butler is at home and no one is in the penthouse, go open the door for him and you can continue whatever you want, okay?" Her calm voice reverberated through the speaker and Tenjo mumbled, wearing back his shirt.
"Keep Kichou calm okay? And also, don't let any boy find out. Can I trust you Shen?"
Shen turned around to see if there was another Shen in the room and when none was found, he gulped in.
"Bro, I don't know how to keep a woman busy. I don't even know how to date a woman."
"Then learn asshole! I shall be back!"
Tenjo ran out of the bathroom, picking up his spare key to the penthouse, kissed Kichou on the cheeks and fled off from the dormitory. The small creaked open bathroom door was enough for Shen to constantly peek on Kichou who just sat on the bed unbothered.
Shen stepped out of the bathroom like a mouse venturing into a lion's den. He cleared his throat softly. "Uhm... hi, Kichou."
She turned slightly, her long dark hair cascading over her shoulder, her chest still bare, though she made no effort to cover up. Her expression was unreadable, her gaze landing on him with mild curiosity. "Shen, right?"
He nodded, eyes darting anywhere but directly at her chest. "Yeah... we met in an awkward manner in the restroom."
"Yeah Tenjo told me about you. Sorry you had to see that R18 quickie. You know Tenjo, he just can't get enough of girl's skirts." Kichou leaned back on the bed, propping herself up with one hand as she stretched the other over her head, casually exposing even more skin with a yawn that somehow made the air ten degrees hotter. Her nipples were shamelessly perked, and Shen could feel a violent internal scream brewing inside his brain.
"R-Right," he croaked, suddenly finding the ceiling very interesting. "He, uh... he really does seem... experienced."
Kichou smirked. "You're cute. Has anyone ever told you that?"
Shen blinked. His ears turned a deep crimson. "I... I think my grandma once said I had a nice face."
She let out a laugh—a sultry, low ripple of amusement that made his knees weaken. "Adorable," she said. "Tell me something, Shen. Are you a virgin?"
He choked on air. "W-What?! I—uh—I—what kind of question is that?"
She tilted her head, licking her lips like she was toying with prey. "It's just a question. You don't have to answer. But from your face..." Her eyes dragged over him, stopping deliberately at the very obvious tension in his pants. "...I can guess."
Shen was about to spontaneously combust. His knees nearly gave out.
Kichou stood up from the bed slowly, walking toward him with a lazy sway in her hips. "Relax. I'm not gonna eat you. Unless you want me to." She paused, just a breath away from him, lifting a finger to trail lightly down his chest. "Tenjo said you play that raunchy game... Lustbound, right?"
Shen was speechless.
"He told me you're trying to learn how to touch a girl... from a video game." Her lips were inches from his ear now. "That's kind of... cute."
"I-it's for research!" Shen stammered. "I was just—just curious! And, and maybe I thought I could—could learn something useful—"
Kichou giggled and stepped back, finally pulling on Tenjo's oversized hoodie that was lying on the chair. "Relax, virgin boy. I'm not gonna pounce on you. That's Tenjo's job." She flopped back on the bed, legs up, crossing her ankles as she flicked through her phone.
Shen stood there, still recovering, heart thundering.
"But hey," she said without looking up, "if you ever want a real tutorial, maybe I can help. Nothing like first-hand experience to level up, right?"
His brain short-circuited.
"Kichou, I—uh—thanks—but—I think I—I should go—drink—some water."
She snorted. "Or change your underwear."
Shen fled into the hallway, his ears burning, his knees wobbly, and his mind screaming one thing over and over again:
I'm so screwed.
