"Hey Kido, got a minute?"
It was unusual for Hamabe Mitsuki to call out to me. She's usually with her gyaru friend Matsuki Ichika, so we hardly ever interact, but today Ichika happened to be absent.
"What's up?"
"Do you have the Alouette manga?"
Alouette refers to the shoujo manga "Magical Phantom Thief Alouette." I'm a huge fan - I own all the original volumes, complete anime DVD sets, and numerous merchandise. I've even done cosplay sex with the original author, Tomeki Gururu sensei. Just seed distribution, of course.
"I have everything. Why do you ask?"
"I kinda want to read it. Could you lend me some?"
"Sure, no problem. That's unusual for you though."
"Well, I saw the files you had the other day and got nostalgic, so I watched the old anime on streaming. Turns out it's crazy good."
"Right? Alouette is amazing. The foreshadowing payoff, intricate settings - there are tons of analysis videos too. It transcends the shoujo manga genre."
"Really? I've only seen the anime, but I got so curious about what happens next that I've been wanting to read the manga."
"Sure thing, I'll lend you whatever you want. Though there are over 30 volumes... Maybe five at a time would be easier to carry?"
"Sounds good. Let's do that."
"Okay. I'll bring them after the break."
This is the first time I've talked this much with Hamabe, but having common interests is nice. I'd love to get closer as fellow Alouette fans, but Matsuki always gets in the way.
"Hey Jim, that's rare. First time I've seen you talking to a girl."
My only male friend, Osadera Sora, looked at me curiously. Now that he mentions it, I guess I hardly ever talk to girls in class.
"What's the big deal? Just promised to lend some manga."
"Whoa, you made a promise? Man, you've changed."
Well yeah. I've had sex with 17 girls now. I used to get flustered just having girls approach me, but now I'm completely immune. Talking to girls is normal now. Not that I'm confident about my conversation skills.
"You think so? Maybe my part-time job helped me get used to talking to girls."
"That job at the... Comb In, was it?"
"Yeah, at the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's document room."
"What do you even do there?"
"Uh, clerical work, I guess?"
"Jim doing clerical work - that's hilarious!"
I don't get why this pun is funny, but Sora's laughing his head off. He wants to be a comedian, but with material like this, does he stand a chance?
Today is Saturday, October 10th. A work day for Jim, though not for clerical work.
"Chifumi-kun. Today's a first-timer, so give it your all."
"Understood, Ohno-san. Leave it to me."
"Such enthusiasm! That's what I'd expect from the guy who had an SM threesome with his homeroom teacher and classmate."
"That's irrelevant."
"It might not satisfy someone like you who's into wild sex, but today's client is normal, so don't mess up."
"I got it."
"Though... I am a little worried."
"About what?"
"Well, today's client seems a bit hesitant, like she's still unsure."
"That's unusual. First time we've had someone like that."
"Well, she did make it this far as a recipient, so it should be fine. But contact me immediately if anything happens."
"Roger that."
With that casual reply, I headed to the usual insemination room, completely unaware of what was about to happen...
"Pardon me. I'm Kido Chifumi, the seed distributor."
The woman sitting primly on the sofa wore a pleated skirt and denim jacket - a casual style with nothing particularly unusual.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Uchiba Ruka. Please take care of me today."
Ruka-san worked clerical at her father's company. Her greeting was properly businesslike, befitting an office worker.
But still... They're huge...
Even through her clothes, it was obvious. Ruka-san had enormous breasts. She probably thought the thick denim jacket hid them, but not at all. According to the records, she was 93cm H-cup - same as gravure idol Yoake Konan-san. Just imagining kneading those breasts made me swallow hard.
Ruka-san had a round, soft face with large, innocent eyes and a small mouth that gave her a pure, childlike appearance that instinctively made you want to protect her. A baby face with huge breasts - countless men must have fallen for that gap.
"So, Uchiba-san - may I call you Ruka-san?"
"Ah, yes. Please do."
"Okay, Ruka-san. Is this your first time doing something like this?"
"Something like...?"
"Well, to put it plainly... what we're about to do. Sex."
"Ah, well... I have some experience."
Ah, not a virgin. Well, makes sense. A girl like her being a virgin would be unbelievable. But that might make things easier. Ohno-san said she seemed hesitant - wonder what's really going on?
"Um, may I sit next to you?"
"Eh? S-sure."
I sat beside Ruka-san. A sweet fragrance wafted from her.
"Are you nervous? ...Yeah, you are. I can tell."
"Eh? Ah, yes, a little..."
"I'm just an 18-year-old kid, nothing to be scared of. Relax. I can even lick you if you want. I'll lick real good."
"H-huh...?"
Wow, that joke to ease tension completely bombed. Bad start...
"Let me be clear - I'll never do anything Ruka-san doesn't want. If you feel uncomfortable at all, say so immediately. I'll stop right away."
"Th-thank you."
Hmm, her guard's up. But if this continues, we won't get anywhere...
I gradually closed the distance between us, slowly bringing my face closer.
"Eek!!"
Just before our lips touched, I was suddenly shoved away, landing hard on my butt.
"Ow..."
"Ah! I'm sorry, so sorry! It was sudden and I got startled..."
"No, it's fine. I shouldn't have moved in so abruptly."
"I'm sorry... I..."
"I get it. Having sex with someone you just met isn't normal."
"I'm... I'm so sorry..."
Ah great, now she's crying. What the hell is going on?
"Please don't apologize. There's one thing I want you to understand, okay?"
"...Sniff... Yes, what is it?"
"I'm not your enemy. I'm absolutely on your side. I want to be on the side of all recipients. Please believe that."
"Sniff... I'm sorry... Thank you..."
This doesn't feel like we're about to have sex. Ohno-san's concerns seem justified. She's not just hesitant - this might be impossible...
"Well... Should we cancel? You shouldn't do this unwillingly. Let's stop. I'll tell Ohno-san."
As I reached for my phone, Ruka-san suddenly grabbed my hand and shook her head.
"Wh-what's wrong, Ruka-san?"
"If I refuse... I can't be a recipient anymore, right?"
"...Well, I don't know the details, but... yeah, probably."
"That's... That would be bad for me..."
"Even so... This is tough..."
Large tears were rolling down Ruka-san's cheeks. What should I do?
"Well, then what should we do? I'll do anything for you, Ruka-san."
"Hic... Hic..."
"At least tell me what's going on. I promise I won't make things worse. Trust me."
She kept her hands over her eyes, hiccuping for a while, but when she calmed down slightly, she began speaking quietly.
"I... have a boyfriend."
"Eh?"
