Chapter 1: Anna Yanami ~ Accidentally Losing Her Virginity at a Love Hotel
"Yakishio-san, you can take a bath first."
"…Yeah, I'll take you up on that."
Nukumizu Kazuhiko and Anna Yanami, both members of the literature club, are friends. The reason such a universal fact has to be stated is precisely because of the place the two of them are currently in. A place where simply being "friends" feels incredibly out of place. However, if the goal is to change that "friend" relationship, there is no more suitable location than this. Of course, only if the two of them actually have that intention.
In short, Nukumizu and Anna Yanami were in a love hotel.
"......"
"Come on, say something."
"What am I supposed to say?… Something like 'You're beautiful'?"
"…Pervert."
"!"
He had only meant to compliment her, but in this situation, words of praise carried far too much meaning. Anna Yanami's point was so valid that Nukumizu simply closed his mouth.
The situation was simple. Or rather, it was a very cliché, perverted development. The two of them had gone on a trip as part of their "hinting" activities, mainly because Anna Yanami had forcibly dragged him along. Unfortunately, they missed the last train, and to make matters worse, bad weather hit. They rushed into the nearest brightly lit lodging they could find, only to discover it was what is commonly known as a love hotel. This is the classic "convenient plot" template of erotica.
However, modern love hotels are also used purely for overnight stays or even for girls' parties. In fact, in the manga Nukumizu loves, there was even an example of using a love hotel as a cosplay photography location. Though in that story, it ended up turning a little naughty at the end.
In other words, as long as you're careful about unexpected accidents, a love hotel is ultimately just a hotel. If you treat it purely as lodging, it has a nice clean bath, a spacious bed, and plenty of amenities — a perfectly decent hotel. So if nothing unexpected happens, they could just sleep and leave in the morning.
However, what breaks that is the standard development. Despite Nukumizu's efforts, Anna Yanami had found it.
...
…slurp… sluuuurp… lick lick lick…
『Mmm, cock tastes so good♡… Let me suck more cock♡ Fellatio feels good, right?♡♡』
"Y-Yanami-san!!"
"Hyaaah!? N-Nukku—!!??"
The large screen played the AV at a fairly loud volume. Nukumizu had heard that love hotels randomly broadcast wired AV channels, and he thought, "Ah, so this is what love hotel AV is like," and nodded involuntarily.
In a panic, he snatched the remote from the flustered Yanami's hand and quietly turned off the power.
What remained was an unnecessarily quiet atmosphere. The sound of each other's breathing became clearly audible, which was very bad in many ways.
Nukumizu left Anna Yanami behind and decided to take a shower himself. It wasn't that he couldn't stand it and wanted to escape… or so he told himself.
〇
~After bathing~
"Bathrobes are nice, huh."
"Yeah, they're not bad."
"…Yeah, not bad… Taking photos would be bad, right?"
"Yeah, better not."
"Mhm, I'll refrain…"
"......…"
The conversation wouldn't continue. Nukumizu wanted to go to sleep as soon as possible and wait for morning, but Yanami kept trying to prolong the conversation. However, the talk was fragmented, breaking off and restarting without any logical connection. In other words, the usually sociable and cheerful Anna Yanami had turned into an introvert.
Her clumsiness, which was unusual for her, was understandable.
It was probably because, as a member of the opposite sex, she felt a sense of crisis regarding her own purity.
...
We won't create any mood. We're both on the same page about that.
...
He would keep her company in conversation until she calmed down. Although he felt the risk of continuing the conversation, he reminded himself that the other party was an adorable otter and kept his mind calm, continuing with light, harmless, tasteless small talk that was neither poison nor medicine nor even fertilizer for the stomach.
There won't be a second time. No more accidents. He had assumed that.
...
It's about time, huh.
...
He was about to suggest turning off the lights and going to sleep. He planned to end the day by being considerate, thinking that if he fell asleep first, she could sleep too.
There was nothing wrong with Nukumizu's thinking. Therefore, he was not at fault. In the world surrounding Nukumizu, the cause was always Anna Yanami.
"Oh, right… by the way…"
"Hm?"
He was completely off guard, thinking it was just some random topic to gain sympathy.
Nukumizu had forgotten. Humans are highly social creatures who instinctively seek smooth communication.
"It was really surprising, wasn't it… Ahaha, that was crazy!"
For the sake of smooth communication, she instinctively performed humor.
Therefore, she was not at fault.
"By the way, that video earlier was intense! Putting a dick in your mouth is way too crazy. It definitely must taste… ah, um."
"————"
She was innocent, therefore blameless.
However, the explosion caused by the words she uttered was enormous.
"Sorry, pretend I didn't say that just now… Please forget it."
Her face flushed red as she spoke in a fading voice.
And yet, even though she told him to forget it,
"Nukumizu-kun, have you ever done something like that??"
"!"
With an extremely embarrassed face and eyes darting around, Anna Yanami dropped the bomb.
Nukumizu wondered how he should respond.
~In his imagination~
(omitted for brevity – same as previous version)
~End of imagination~
"…!"
...
There's no choice but to do it.
...
He might be hated. That risk was far greater.
But it was still better than making a mistake.
He and Yanami-san are friends. This is not a light novel or an eroge. They are unmistakably schoolmates who belong to the same club in the same school.
"Hey, Yanami-san."
He steeled himself and tried to squeeze out a sexual harassment remark. However,
"Nukumizu-kun, are you interested in that kind of thing?"
"Fueh?"
It was a surprise attack.
Before he could ask, Yanami-san continued her pursuit.
"I mean, fellatio. Are you interested?"
"…!"
With a face that still couldn't shake off her embarrassment, Yanami spun her words. Perhaps because she had gone all out, she had strangely regained her composure.
He began to suspect something.
What on earth had she become obsessed with?
"Hey, I'm asking you."
"…"
She didn't wait. She pressed for an answer.
"Ah, um… yeah, well, I knew about it."
"I looked it up while you were in the bath earlier."
"…H-Heh."
The image of an innocent girl's search history containing phrases like "sucking dick with mouth" floated in his mind. It was somehow both pitiful and unbearable.
"Yeah, it's not like I don't have any… wait, is it a hygiene issue? Or curiosity?"
The imagined version of himself had been panicking with a tiny voice. His own response was way too virgin-like.
"I see… so that's how it is."
After a brief silence,
"Curiosity, huh… Same here."
"!"
Her blush had not disappeared.
However, Yanami-san responded with a surprisingly relaxed gaze and tone.
When she called him "Nukumizu-kun," his heart trembled.
This is bad. This atmosphere is dangerous.
...
The mood is forming!!
