Tokyo Soft Rice King.

My feelings are complicated; the closer I get to home, the more anxious I feel.

This was the first time Kuroba Akira had ever felt like 'not wanting to go home'. In the past, when she walked this route, she would have wished she could teleport or have a door anywhere, and she thought that transportation was one of the most time-wasting things in the world.

Enlightenment is about understanding why one experiences such a subtle feeling.

It's like the complex feeling of a young woman who's been forcefully taken by a domineering CEO, experiencing both joy and disappointment...

This shouldn't be!

Kuroba Akira began to reflect. Losing his virginity should have been a cause for celebration, something to cheer about, even something to shout "Yay!" with fists raised high...

Does this mean that I don't actually want to develop this kind of relationship with the class monitor?

Impossible! The whole process was consensual, without the slightest hesitation... However, Kuroba Akira admitted that he was somewhat led by the nose by the class monitor.

The dimly lit haunted house, having lost its terrifying atmosphere, instead created an ambiguous feeling, causing him to lose his basic judgment and be completely bewitched by the class monitor, but he didn't regret it afterward.

The level of happiness may not have reached its theoretical limit due to the initial cautiousness, but it is still a beautiful memory of youth.

However, neither Kuroba Akira nor Anri Hitomi are love-obsessed; their feelings are not so intense that they feel they absolutely must marry him/her!

Furthermore, the two also established a secret, special relationship...

When he first heard this idea, Akira Kuroba was surprised and felt something was wrong. He wondered to himself: Is this really a good idea?

However, after he understood the class monitor's thoughts, he was able to fully comprehend the reasons behind the class monitor's suggestion.

Because Hitomi Anri is actually her former self.

Just like how Kuroba Akira fell in love with his first love because he admired her dream-chasing attitude, the class president also saw in him the belief of wholeheartedly achieving his goal, and thus developed romantic feelings for him, who was also his first love.

That's why I want to support the other person no matter what.

Unfortunately, Kuroba Akira is also that kind of person, and he encounters many geniuses in this world, and he also wants to stay by their side and support them to the end.

This led to the formation of a strange 'support relationship chain'.

Hitomi Anri → Akira Kuroba → Others

From this perspective, most of what Kuroba Akira has done so far has been for the benefit of others. Although he himself hopes to profit from it, in the end, he is supporting others.

Then, Hitomi Anri also did a lot for Akira Kuroba, especially now that she has decided to fully invest in and support Akira Kuroba's core business. To Akira Kuroba, she is like an angel.

And now that I think about it, I realize that I was able to meet those geniuses all thanks to my class monitor... My class monitor was practically my lucky star.

Looking at myself, the only thing I could do to help the class monitor was to solve some minor problems on campus and in my interpersonal relationships, which was insignificant compared to her support.

However, what I need to do next is continue to support Shion, and in the future, Shiori and Moe... because of this, I might become even closer to them...

Thinking about this, Kuroba Akira finally understood why he felt this inexplicable guilt after losing his virginity.

Because he felt he would definitely let the class monitor down in the future.

Although the class monitor said she could touch other women, if Kuroba Akira were to completely disregard the feelings of the person he liked and flirt with other women, he would feel like he was a complete scoundrel.

After all, her feelings of affection for the class monitor were not feigned.

Then, when facing others, he had to hide his relationship with the class monitor, pretending not to know anything, and even 'deceive' their feelings if necessary, which made Kuroba Akira feel a little guilty towards the others.

Especially towards Ziyin... She has already confessed her feelings to him and fallen completely in love with him, yet he has to treat her like this... Kuroba Akira would feel that he has also wronged Ziyin.

Ziyin is a good girl, and her efforts deserve to be rewarded, not betrayed.

Perhaps the best solution is to confront Ziyin now and tell her that he's already with the class monitor, but he'll still support her dreams...

However, the risk is that Ziyin's dream was given to her by herself... and even now she wants to realize her dream and make a lot of money in order to get herself.

If you suddenly tell her that the man she wants to achieve and the goal she desires already belongs to someone else, how would she feel? Could she truly understand and accept it?

What will she do in despair after her dreams are shattered?

All Kuroba Akira could think of was bloodshed.

Moreover, even assuming a peaceful ending, the class monitor would likely leave disappointed, because they had already agreed to keep their relationship secret, but he had unilaterally broken the agreement.

Furthermore, the image of 'Kuroba Akira who failed to realize his dream' no longer held any appeal for her.

Perhaps after understanding everything, the gentle class monitor would still be willing to be his friend, but he would definitely not be able to touch her anymore.

In other words, both Shion and Hitomi will leave him... Kuroba Akira didn't want things to develop to this point.

The more you want something, the more likely you are to lose it... That's just unbelievable...

After clearing his mind, Kuroba Akira realized that this seemed to be an unsolvable deadlock.

The only path left for Akira Kuroba is to become a 'scumbag' who goes against his conscience.

When he actually needed to put both feet on two boats at the same time, he realized that he was completely not cut out for it and couldn't even stand up straight.

Looking back now, those male escorts who could date seven or eight women at the same time and juggle them back and forth were really impressive. Is that what professional skill looks like?

Looking at myself, I'm already so heartbroken over just the two of them...

"Hey……"

Akira Kuroba sighed deeply.

Although the road home is long, it will eventually come to an end.

Or...why not just not go home?

The class monitor treated everyone to snacks at the cultural festival, so the pocket money that Sister Hong gave us was never used.

This money is just enough to stay in an Internet cafe all night, about two or three thousand yen is enough.

Although escaping is shameful, it is useful...

Okay! Then today...

"Meow~"

Just as Kuroba Akira was about to select the escape option, the wild Kuroo appeared.

"Hmm? It's you again, Kuroo..."

Now that Black Tail has appeared, it means we've reached Black Tail's territory near Kobayashi's house, and we'll be home soon.

"Meow meow (what)? Meow meow meow meow (are you not convinced)?"

I have a feeling this cat is provoking me... Ugh, don't mess with me at a time like this!

Kuroba Akira rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to this arrogant little cat, and simply ignored it and stepped over it.

"Meow meow meow meow meow (How dare you ignore me!)!"

Unexpectedly, Kuroo suddenly accelerated, sprinted, and jumped towards Hei Yuming's biggest weakness.

Kuroba Akira was caught off guard and attacked by the chicken, falling directly to the ground.

"Whoa! You stupid cat, what are you doing!"

Fortunately, Black Tail was still quite restrained. It didn't use its claws directly or bite, but instead sniffed Black Feather Akira's crotch area.

Damn, could it have smelled it?

Did you smell your own fishy smell, or the platoon leader's blood smell?

It's really a stealing cat, huh?

Kuroba Akira was really afraid that it would bite him. This was only the first time, and he had just tasted the new flavor. How could he let a cat ruin his life?

"Get out of here! I haven't hidden any food!"

The black tail that was moved did not bite back angrily, but instead backed up and sat down in front of it, bringing its snow-white paws to its mouth and looking at Kuroba Akira with its subtle cat eyes.

That expression... why does it look so girly!

Kuroba Akira could practically picture Kuroo's voice: "No way? No way? You couldn't even last one time? Big brother, you're so lame~"

"A cue stick! I'm not incapable of it!"

I was just being considerate of the class monitor's health! If I went too far the first time and caused redness and swelling, what if the class monitor couldn't get out of bed or walk tomorrow and couldn't even participate in the cultural festival? Wouldn't that be all my fault?

"Meow meow~"

Black Tail brought its other little white paw to its mouth, then covered its mouth with both hands, as if to say, "Wow~ I think I believe you, big brother, are you really that 'amazing'? Or are you just 'bragging'?"

"Kuroo, don't underestimate me! Even though I've only recently lost my virginity, I still have plenty of theoretical knowledge and the soul of an adult! How could I possibly surrender after just one time..."

"Meow meow meow (You said it is), meow meow meow (That's it)."

Kuroo was too lazy to listen to anyone's explanation, so he turned around and ran away, leaving Kuroo Akira sitting on the ground in a daze.

　what……

What am I doing...?

I actually got angry with a cat and even explained and argued with it...

However, after speaking, Kuroba Akira also discovered another angle that he had not thought of before.

Yes, thinking about it carefully, this is only the first time. The number of times we've accumulated experience has only just broken through from zero to one... How can it end like this!

I need to enjoy this many more times in the future! Whether it's the class monitor or Ziyin, I need to feast on them and give them countless delicious meals!

This is what it means to be a kept man!

Since you'll feel guilty towards them no matter what, don't bother thinking, just use your lower body to think!

That's right! This is the secret to becoming a scumbag!

"Meow (That's right)! Meow meow meow meow (That's it)!"

Another meow brought Kuroba Akira back to his senses, as if it were acknowledging his thoughts.

When Kuroba Akira looked up, he found that Kuroo hadn't run far, but was waiting for him ahead.

"Going around looking for people to freeload on, then eating and sleeping, sleeping and playing, and when they get aroused, they go out to vent... That's how beasts think..."

This is the ultimate way to live off a woman.

I'm so envious. If there's a next life, Kuroba Akira would also like to be reborn as a cat, of course a male cat, not a female cat.

Then all you have to do is be cute, and everything else you want will be yours.

Kuroba Akira shook his head and was about to get up from the ground when Kuroo ran over again, stepped on his thigh, jumped onto his shoulder, and then straddled his neck, placing its two front paws on his head and hugging the back of his head like a ball.

"Meow (Start)!"
