The Secret of the Butler-kun

Konoe Subaru.

In all probability, there was nobody in Rouran Shiritsu Gakuen[1] who had never heard this name.

Bunburyodo. Good looking. Clean clothes. A prodigy type of guy.

If he was a girl, all the guys in the school would be knocked out—A plausibly handsome guy that was heard of in rumors. Anyone would envy that student who always had perfect results. But in the world where the word "unachievable" existed, there was Konoe, the only flower blooming on the top of Mount Everest.

Anyway, the nickname he was given was [Subaru-sama].

The female students admire him, the male students look at him with jealousy. I can’t believe that he is a human being just like us, the commoners. However, don’t be surprised.

The most incredible thing about him is his work.

‘Butler.’

Yes, he is a butler.

The occupation of Konoe Subaru was without a doubt--a butler.

...........

No, no.

When I first heard it, I doubted my ears, you know?

Butler, what do you mean by that? Don’t joke with me. Why does such a person with this occupation still exist in this modern society? And he's also going to high school.

Enough of it, was he a heavenly treasure or something like that?

That was my reaction when I first heard about Konoe. At first everyone was like that. It’s not exactly like this, but "you wouldn't believe in an endangered species like a butler".

But, nevertheless that scene happened.

When I saw him calling our classmate Suzutsuki Kanade "[Ojou-sama]" in a respectful manner, I couldn’t help but believe in this dream-like story.

Shit.

I’m jealous.

I’m so jealous.

Not only was he popular with the girls, he was also the butler of ‘that’ Suzutsuki Kanade?

It made me look at him with envious eyes.

However, this brilliant event will never happen to me during my gray school days.

It’s not like I hate women and it's also not like I play for the other team.

However, the most annoying thing was that, thanks to my body, I was always bad with approaching females.

Indeed, there was no way I could see Konoe Subaru as anything other than a brilliant human.

Even in the remaining time of my school life, I won't have many chances to get involved with him, huh.

Even when I got to the second year and became classmates with Konoe, I didn’t doubt that.

Until I opened that door.



♀♂



“Huh—“

I was careless.

It was after school, one week after the entrance ceremony.

I opened the door of the bathroom stall without knocking, but there was already someone inside.

There was a small, finely made, delicate doll-like body.

With a uniform that was different from the ones of the ordinary students.

With the hair tied back in a braid shape, it was a clean cut like the ones on an antique doll.

The vision of that art work was familiar, but unpleasant.

“......Konoe Subaru?”

And instantly, I called out that name.

This is bad.

What’s with this situation?

I wonder if he forgot to lock the door.

Konoe, who was swishing his mouth, widened his eyes while looking at me who had suddenly opened the door.

Aaah, but it would be better if I don't scream. Even if this is after school, there may still be people lurking in the corridors.

If you were seen by other people in this situation, no matter how much you tried to explain or apologize, it wouldn't matter.

Furthermore, who was there was ‘that’ Subaru-sama.

It was said in the rumors that in this Rouran Gakuen, there were some fan clubs for him, and at the very center of them, were some militants who said, anyone who raised a hand at Subaru-sama --it didn't matter who it was-- would be submerged into Tokyo Bay with the squids.

If this scene was seen as one of those, it would be a death sentence for me immediately. It would be like in the medieval ages, when they burned witches.

If you think about it, the situation is still okay. I just have to apologize. 'Hahaha, sorry about that. I carelessly opened the door. I didn't have any bad intentions'.... like this, lightly saying that and making my way out.

Mayo Chiki! Vol1 017.jpeg

Okay, here we go.

Breaking the silence, I moved the hands of the clock that had stopped.

“Ah, haha, I’m really sorry. I just carelessly opened the door...”

Because of my high tension, it didn’t work out.

When I awkwardly looked close, my line of sight dragged toward his bare thighs.

Err—even being a man, he had a good tone of skin.

A porcelain like white skin.

He may have been just about to lower his underwear.

And what's more, my sight got glued to that white modeled beauty.

—and.

“....unn?”

That moment, I thought I saw something that I couldn't have.

...........

Wait a moment.

Isn't he wearing some strange underwear?

How can I say this....... the form was strangely conclusive.

It looks like a pair of girl’s panties.

“————“

Then I thought.

I awkwardly closed the door. Fortunately, Konoe also didn't express a reaction. I guess he was still astonished. Yeah, I know how you feel. I also thought that the scene I saw just now looked like a joke.

Right after leaving the boy's stall, I washed my hands at a nearby sink. Since I didn't use it, there was no need to wash them, but I could not afford even one milligram of my mind to think about this.

A cat.

There was a cute cat stamped on it.

A lovely cat was slightly imprinted on that underwear. Or rather, the point was, no matter how you looked......

“No, calm down.”

There’s no way.

I took off my glasses and wiped my eyes.

If what happened just now wasn't an illusion, then the prescription of my glasses got weird. But could the prescription of glasses turn strange all of a sudden?

In the first place, why did I come to the bathroom?

Yeah, it’s all because of the Kimchi[2] I ate for breakfast. Damn Kureha, easily letting the food surpass its expiration date. The morning show on TV said something about my lucky color being red today or something, there’s no way I could believe something like that.... huh, it doesn't matter now.

Question.

Yes—the question is...

Why—was Konoe wearing female underwear?

I couldn't believe the words that came out of my mouth.

Because that was the Konoe that you knew?

That Konoe Subaru was the one you knew?

Certainly, he was a guy, but he looks like a gi—or rather, he had a face which was much cuter than a lot of girls we have here, but he didn't have a reason to put on that underwear. But still. Could it be that a blood curse ran through his family, in which you didn't have any option but to wear a girl’s panties?

“....Impossible. There’s no way.”

Then, what was that?

My brain was spinning like a washing machine in the drying process.

Subaru-sama, toilet, panties, cat, nyaa~, nyaa~, nyaa~......

Thinking about it. Some keywords appeared in my head—Suddenly, an inspiration fell down into my brain by God’s will.

“.............!”

Without thinking, *pon* I hit my hand.

....Aaah, got it.

If you stop and think about it, it's a simple thing. Ahaha, how idiotic I am. Why didn't I think of that earlier? There was only one answer. It's a very simple answer, isn't it?

—A pervert.

Yeah, Konoe Subaru is a pervert who has a cross-dressing hobby.

“.............”

No, wait Sakamachi Kinjirou. Think about it one more time. Because it is that Subaru-sama. There’s no way that he would be a cross-dressing guy.

“But really.”

Certainly, I can’t see it any other way.

Surely, the reason Konoe wore a girl’s underwear, is that he wanted to playfully feel sexual pleasure. If that was not it, then why else would he wear those panties?

“.....What an event. I can’t believe that Subaru-sama is a pervert.”

My head went blank due to the surprising truth.

No matter what I do, if this truth isn't kept under wraps, I will be in danger. If, due to any reason this information gets leaked out, a lot of female students will lose their hopes and go crazy, and in the worst case, our homeroom teacher, feeling responsible, will cut his head off.

And what's more, I don’t have any intentions of mocking other people's hobbies. I respect their privacy. Everyone has secrets. Yeah.... I’m not an exception too.

I twisted the faucet, and the water stopped.

I’m going home.

Because of the great surprise, the bellyache I had caused by the rotten kimchi went flying away.

Today I’ll quietly go home, have dinner, take a bath and go to sleep...... I’ll forget the things I need to forget.

This is what I decided by myself, but when I tried to turn to the corridor—


"—You saw, didn’t you?"


To face a guy with a slightly high auto-voice?

The setting sun was dyeing that empty corridor.

There was a petite figure standing inside of that brilliant orange.

“Jirou....Sakamachi Kinjirou. Hmm, I’m certain that this is your name.”

Like the ring of a bell, the clear voice of that figure—Konoe Subaru called my name.

With an angry expression and a surly attitude.

That was the normal Konoe.

At least, he knows the name of his classmates. Konoe is cold with everyone except with his master Suzutsuki. Looks like he’s trying to pull away from everyone besides his master, and so his voice and gaze were quite intimidating. Looking at this figure, the girls of my class started muttering something about [cool and wonderful]. Right now I couldn't say that, not with this expression.

…..I’ll get killed.

If I stay like this, I’ll really get killed.

I don’t know why, but an obscure feeling of uneasiness filled up my head.

“If you pretend to stay silent, I’ll ask you one more time.”

Silence was the reason of the annoyance? Konoe moved his petal-like little lips.

“You—saw my panties, didn't you?”

*Dossha*, I felt like my heart was thrown into the cold waters of the rowdy Japan sea.

What is this….. it’s just too scary. The things he’s saying are just too scary. Ugh, and what about my lucky color being red? Almost everything that fortune-teller said was wrong…..

“Hu…huh? What are you talking about? I….I, I haven’t seen anything.”

I answered acting like an idiot. I mean, ‘Yeah, I clearly saw everything, I didn’t expect you to use such cute underwear’. There’s no way I could say it. It’s almost like trying to do a break dance in a minefield.

“Huh. You saw it so clearly and now you try to say you haven’t seen anything?”

A hostile tone as always.

Very good. Since it has come to this, I’ll cut through it. You won’t seal my mouth by using tortures at the same level as East German ones. I’ll show you my rebellious spirit……..!

“Be honest, you saw it, right? Your eyes clearly saw it, right? You wanted to see my underwear and opened that door, right?”

“There’s no way! Who would want to see your underwear!? I’m already an adult after all! That animal stamp underwear didn't get me excited at all!”

“……My bad, for using animal stamp underwear. By the way, how did you know the pattern of my underwear? Didn't you say that you didn't see it?”

“……………….”

Shit! That was a misleading question!

“Ca—calm down! It was just a sudden impulse!”

“Damn pervert. You no longer have human rights.”

“Don’t joke! I didn't peek at your panties because I wanted to!”

“Huh. Then, you are saying that what happened just now was an accident?”

“Of course! I only stared without thinking, because you were wearing cute underwear.”

“It’s enough. I understand. I understood what kind of human you are.”

Konoe stared strongly this way. Gulp, why are you looking here. They're like the cold eyes with which you look at a worthless sexual criminal. Damn, what did I do to him?

“Damn! Until now you have just said whatever you wanted. If I’m a pervert, then you are a truly worthless pervert! You are wearing girls panti—”

And.

After saying that, I became silent.

Accurately saying, I got silenced.

Without any warning, Konoe’s right hand flew in my direction, driving my words down my throat.

“Guaah—!?”

A piercing body blow. The blow accurately hit a vital point. I pray to my body not to twist.

This is bad—!

It will come out.

This way, all I've eaten today will come out. It's coming up too fast, I’ll throw hot vomit on the corridor. I can't make such a completely pathetic debut in the new year!

I forced back the demons who crawled up to my throat at the last moment, and I barely fixed my breathing.

“…...Got it. Just now you fainted at least, and well done enduring this blow, from which you should be vomiting blood.”

“………………”

Hey, damn. Don’t hit your classmates so suddenly.

Now that I think about it, I heard that Konoe, being a butler, had to learn self-defense to protect his master. Certainly, just now my vital point was perfectly hit.

But, unfortunately.

If it’s this degree of damage, because of family matters, I have been hit ever since I was five years old.

I have a body which is strong against physical hits.

“It can’t be helped. Then, I’ll get serious now.”

“Ehh?”

“By the way, the hit you received just now, had about half of my full power.”

“……..Are you the protagonist of some battle manga? By the way, why do I have to be beaten up?”

“Huh. It has already been decided. You discovered my secret. And because of that, you know, you have to disappear.”

“Wha—”

What’s with this? I’ll die? I’ll die, just because I saw his panties?

“You don’t have anything to fear. I won’t take your life, I’ll only delete your memory. In my household, we have an amnesia surgery technique that is passed down from generation to generation.”

“Aaah… you were scaring me. And then, what kind of technique is it?”

"Hitting."

“Huh—”

“Didn’t you hear me? I’m going to hit you. I’m going to hit you until your memories fly out of your head. This is the butler’s true amnesia surgery technique.”

“I will die. My life will disappear. Or rather, this method has nothing to do with butlers!”

“No need to worry. It will end soon. When you wake up, you will be on a hospital bed. Then you will start murmuring things like, ‘Where am I? Who am I?’. Come on, everything will go well.”

“It won’t go well! This is crippling! Or rather, I will get crippled! You will reset the sixteen years of my precious memories!”

“Don’t worry, I will go see you two times a month. Empty-handed.”

“Bring something! This is the concern that you have for the human that you crippled?”

“Muu, it can’t be helped. Then I will bring an ecchi book. Which do you want? Mature women?”

“You’re strongly misunderstanding my tastes…..!”

“….What did you say? Don’t tell me it’s more extreme than this? Mu—…… I didn’t know there was such a brave man among my classmates. Okay, I will spread your legend. Now, calm down and sleep, Silver Killer.”

“I got a such shameful nicknameeee—!!”

*Rattling*

I think I heard the sound of the image I had of Konoe Subaru breaking into pieces.

This is dangerous. Do something. That damn guy, he has a cute face , but he has something wrong in his head. Aah, what should I do? Even if I say that I will protect his secret, the Konoe as of right now, will not believe me. But I also don’t want to get beaten up.

“Damn, it’s not it.”

I slowly stretched my spine and got up. I guessed that the mood had gone strange, then [Fuu] Konoe took a quick breath.

“Why? Why do you resist?”

“Aah, unfortunately I hate pain. That’s why, I will do what I can do.”

“Huh—Looks like you’re prepared. I don’t hate it, Silver Killer.”

“…Wha—. I beg you, please stop calling me with that nickname.”

Then, Konoe held up his fists and took a step back away from me.

Bring it on.

It felt as if he was saying that to me.

I felt a chill running through my body.

To answer that highly motivated Butler-kun, I slowly took a step.

And—I slowly got my feet behind.

“Wha—”

At that moment, the sound of my breath could be heard.

But, it was too late.

And then, I changed the direction of my body and starting running as fast as I can.

Flying.

I’m flying.

I may look like this, but I have some confidence in my legs, when used for running.

“You! You’re trying to run away?!”

Konoe’s voice was coming from the back. Looks like he’s impatient.

“Sorry! But I hate pain!”

I ran through the school corridors while crying out loudly.

*thump*thump*thump*

I don't expect that he would follow me, but I will run as long as I can. For now, I will run to a place that his hands can’t reach. After that, I will think calmly.

“I wont let you run away!”

He really followed me. The sound of footsteps getting closer, got louder. It feels like being in a resistance group of the second world war. It is a thrilling trench point.

“Fight like a man! If you do it, I will show you the mercy of a butler and finish it in one blow.”

“Which mercy?! Or rather, I don’t want to hear about fighting like a man from a guy who looks like a girl.”

“Y, you said it! You really said what you are not supposed to say! Don’t move from there! In just a second I will cut you into pieces, Silver Killer!”

“How many times I have to tell you, don’t call me by that nickname!”

I felt an intimidating chill running through my spine. He’s fast. *Grrr* I think that I heard a sound like a grumble just now.

This is the second floor. I have to find a way to run to the first floor, but using the stairs is bad. He will probably hit me with a jump kick from above. Then…..!

I ran into a classroom, which was right after the stairs. The smell of chemicals reached my nose. Yeah, this is the science classroom. Doesn’t matter whether it's the science classroom or not, but I can be confined here for a maximum of ten minutes.

*Pllaaaakkk*I closed the door, and locked it. During the time he can’t open the door, I will just go down through the window. Oh, perfect, the human body model is here (if I’m not mistaken, his name is Johny). Lucky—, with this, I will seal the do—


*Kaboom*


The moment I tried to seal the door with the model, a crushing sound echoed in the science room.

I had an ominous feeling and turned my eyes towards the direction of the sound, and there was the shape of the door flying away.

Konoe had kicked down the door.

“Uooo?!”

I dodged the flying door. Making a clanging sound, the internal organs of the model crashed against the wall. Uaahh—, the large intestines and the liver are broken, it became a big disaster.

“I’m cornered.”

The butler came inside the science room while snapping the small intestines. How much more violent can this situation get?

Shit, if it has turned out this way, then I don’t have any other options. I was a little reluctant of using violence on a guy with such a cute face, but Konoe is also a man. If he is a man, I don’t have any reasons for holding back.

I grab the model by the leg and raise it. Okay, I’m a central batter. My target is a home run. I won’t win any prizes, but I will be able to run all I want!

“Haaaa!!!”

I swung the body with full power. If you looked in from outside, the scene would cause one to doubt my sanity, but for me now, I have no other options. The model’s head cut through the air, aiming to hit Konoe.

“Don’t underestimate me!”

*Strong Blow*.

Konoe’s right fist gave a straight blow above the neck of the model.

The head flew like a cannon ball. It went right through the open window.

“Ua, Uaaaahh!!” “Gyaaaa, a heaaad!!” Some screams could be heard from below.

Apparently, it fell right before a student couple. It surely became a chaotic hell down there, but that doesn’t matter.

......What should I do?

There’s no longer anything to do.

It’s better to reach a resolution now.

While I was thinking about it in my mind, I slowly raised my fists. I took a guarding posture, with both hands protecting my head. This is the style which suits me the most. I’m not an amateur.

“Looks like you are prepared now.”

In answer, Konoe also put up a fighting pose.

I gave him a piercing gaze.

And then—as if to let out a war declaration, those lips let out a sentence.

“Now I will finish you for real, with my [Butler Punch].”

“…………”

Wha—, cut it out. What is this [Butler Punch]? Just what it says, huh? I though it was a new type of curve ball.

“I don’t give a shit, but you don’t have any naming sense, huh?”

“Wha….what are you saying?! Isn’t this name cool?! Look, [Butler Punch]!!”

“No, this is rotten. [Butler Punch].”

I only told my honest impressions. His face became red and he 'uuh' groaned.

……Don’t tell me, he’s embarrassed?

“Kuu… it’s the first time in my life that I have been shamed like this. I won't forgive you anymore. I will let you see my mortal technique.”

“Mortal Technique?”

“Yeah, I call it [End Of Earth].”

“That scale is just too big.”

Destroying the Earth… if you do it, you will die too!!

“Really, I’m seriously thinking about your naming sense.”

“Shu—shut up, don’t blame my naming sense!”

“………Sorry. This time I’m in the wrong. You thought about it with all your might…”

“Wha—what’s with that ‘I already understood’ face! Why are you looking here with those eyes that look like you're seeing something pitiful!?”

Shit… I thought I was doing something cool. Even if I thought about it for a week. So, Konoe can be thinking about it like a little kid.

“…………”

This is dangerous.

He looks....very cute.

The gap between his normal attitude and the disappointed one, was so large that it gave a cute look to him. Stop it. Stop it. If I keep thinking about it, I will climb up the stairs of being an adult. Certainly, on a different route from normal people. This is the only thing I have to avoid……!

I tried to get back to my feelings while I steadied my breath.

Now that I think about it, it has been a long time since I've seen fights like this.

When I think like this, *tumdum* my heart beats hard.

“————”

The tension dominates the science classroom.

I can clearly hear my breath, the core of my body became cold.

The air strained.

In the middle of it, I’m attempting to make the first move.


I realized it.


The beaker on the shelf next to Konoe.

Maybe because of the fight from before, it lost its balance. Looks like it will fall at any moment now.

Konoe didn’t realize it.

He can not see it because of the angle. The beaker started inclining, and it started to fall in that direction.

“Move away!”

My body moved reflexively. Konoe became astonished with the sudden loud shout that was raised.

Shit, he didn’t realize it yet.

—Exactly.

If it continues this way, the beaker will fall on his head.

“Shit!”

I beg you. I hope I can reach it in time.

Praying so, I pushed Konoe down with my full power.

*Crash*

The sound of glass being shattered was heard.

The beaker fell down and broke into pieces, just behind us.

That was dangerous, one blow could have…

When the danger passed, I started feeling relieved, but—

“Uuu…”

I heard a painful voice from below.

Konoe, who was pushed down by me, was groaning. I thought that he was hurt somewhere, then I gazed down at Konoe……

That moment, my heart froze.

Konoe, who was below me.

A body like a doll. Defined curves. Eyes like jade.

….This is dangerous, what’s this cute creature?

A pleasant aroma is gently reaching my nose. Even with him being a guy, he smells so good. And he’s so soft. I touched something soft when I moved my hand……

“Huh…?”

Wait a minute.

No matter what, isn’t this feeling impossible for a man? *funyu**funyu* I try to move my finger that was on his left chest.

“………………”

This is strange.

This is very, very strange.

Why does he—even being a man, have breasts!?

“Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

He screamed like a girl.

At the same time, I was given a punch from below.

“Guhaa!!”

Konoe’s uppercut reached my chin. I was blown away while raising a groaning voice. Fortunately or not, my body was blown away from the broken beaker pieces.

“It hurts!!”

While bearing the pain from the hard hit, I touched my chin that was beaten, a wet feeling was left on my palm.

……Wet?

When I wondered and looked, ‘my hand was dyed in red’.

Blood.

To be precise, a nosebleed.

*Drop**drop* Fresh blood was dripping from my nose.

This is strange, I should have been hit on the chin...then, why is it the nose which is releasing blood?

“Wha—Impossible… why?”

Why?

‘Even if I didn't touch a girl, why is my nose bleeding?’

“Y, you touched it…”

A trembling voice was heard. When I moved my eyes from my hand dyed in red, I saw the figure of Konoe hugging his arms around his chest, he was trembling with his face dyed in red. Now that I look, his eyes are wet.

“Do, don’t tell me, that Konoe-san…”

My voice was trembling.

This is true. My opponent is Subaru-sama. In the opinions of all the girls, he was the most admired guy. Yet, even so.

“You…… you're a girl?”

Beethoven’s concert was playing in my brain. The song was [Fate]. That tchandyandyan like.

Girl.

Konoe Subaru was a girl.

Why did this cute girl come to school dressed like a boy?

This is surely a surprise. Now I get it. In two more seconds she will say, 'Ahaha, baka baka! To believe in such a joke!', trying to trick people with strange methods. Haha, I hope it will happen. Please, I beg you.

“—I will kill you.”

At that moment, I almost screamed.

*Chill*

An unspeakable chill ran through my spine.

Konoe was standing in the front of my eyes.

In Konoe Subaru’s hands was a bright red fire extinguisher.

“Wha… Fire extinguisheeeeeeeeer!?”

There’s no doubt. That is a fire extinguisher. Even a child in kindergarten would know. He probably took the one in the science room. He made a pose with the metallic red object gripped in his hand.

“Wa—wait a minute Konoe-san. If you hit me with that, I have the feeling that my memory won't be the only thing that will be blown away……”

“Aah, I understand. A pervert like you, wasn’t ever supposed to be in this world……”

“Tha—that was an accident!! That was without a doubt an accident!!”

“Was an accident, huh. You touched……you say it even if you touched my breasts and had a nosebleed……!”

Uuurrr, Konoe wistfully groaned.

“You got it wrong! It’s not because I got excited that I got a nose bleed! This is because my body ha—”

“Talking is useless. Don’t worry, I will hide your corpse inside the wall. And in the future, I will be the teacher here. Then I will be able to keep an eye on your body, so that no one will ever find it.”

Keh. Holy shit. He is aiming for a perfect crime. Or rather, this is bad. I can’t stand up because of the fear. Uaaaaaaaaaaaah, move! Please move, I beg you body, please move!!

“Then, this is the end. Die while cringing in despair.”

I received a death sentence.

According to the horoscope, it looks like my lucky color is red.

Aah, from now on, I won’t watch that program anymore.

The bright red fire extinguisher was reflected in my eyes.

At that moment, I thought, it will crash onto my head.



♀♂




“Gyaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

Suddenly my consciousness returned. Lying on a bed, *Baku**Baku* I placed my hands on my chest and felt my heart beating rapidly. I was awoken by my own scream.

“……What a way to wake up.”

That was the worst.

I had an unbelievable dream. In the dream, Subaru-sama was a girl, and just because I knew that, he wanted to kill me...just by thinking about it, chills ran down my spine. That was a nightmare. It feels like I just watched that 'walking on the bridge' scene from the movie [Exorcist].

“………I will get up.”

I muttered while sighing.

I put on my glasses, which were on the bedside. What time is now? If I am late to school in the new semester, it will create a bad impression.

“……Ah, what?”

My vision recovered. What I saw was a strange scene. First, it wasn’t my room. An elongated fluorescent lamp was on the ceiling. A big white bed and shelves full of chemicals were illuminated by it. Everything in this place was different from my room.

Infirmary.

There’s no doubt. I can tell because I came here so many times. This is the college infirmary. But why am I in the infirmary?

For the time being, I will just get up.

I tried to get up while my brain was still half asleep, and moved the partition sheet that was covering the space to my right.

—And.

Suddenly, with a *Shring* like sound, my right hand stopped.

“…Shring?”

A harsh metallic sound. My right hand couldn't move. If you looked closely, there was a silver colored metal.

Handcuff.

I had a handcuff on my wrist.

Surprisingly, that silver colored inorganic device, was connecting my right arm and the bed like lovers.

“……………”

Errr...what could this be?

By any chance, am I still dreaming? If this is true, this is a really bad dream. It feels like that Freddy Kruger could appear at any moment.

In an attempt to get out somehow, *clatter**clatter* I moved my hand connected to the handcuff.

Shit, it didn't work.

It didn't move an inch, as expected. This doesn't feel too much different from a stray dog which has a collar put on. But being a dog is good.

As long as you are tied, you will get food. A much better situation than mine right now.

“—Uh?”

A dull pain suddenly ran through me. Headache. And a strong headache. Without thinking, I placed my left hand on my head. This is strange...it was like I had been beaten on the head with something really hard...

“……Un?”

Wait.

If it can move, does that mean that my left hand isn’t tied?

To make sure, I tried to move my left hand. Wow, it’s true. It’s only my right hand which is handcuffed. My left hand could move freely. I tried to figure out the situation, even if only a little, and took off the futon that was covering my left hand.

“………Huh?”

At that moment—I was about to scream for the second time.

A girl.

There was a girl.

A girl with lustrous, black two-side-up hair. She was sleeping profoundly, snuggling right next to me.

(Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!)

I desperately suppressed the scream that was of the same level of loudness as a F1 rocket start-up. I stopped breathing. My poor heart could have stopped beating.

I am sure. In these days, for a girl to sleep at your side...(Wearing clothes of course, precisely a uniform). But she was slightly familiar.

A uniform with looks different from a normal student's uniform. Although normally it would be a violation of the rules, if you thought about this girl's position, you would let it slide.

If in the middle of the girls in this Rouran Gakuen, the admired one was Konoe Subaru, then in the middle of the guys, this girl was the idol.

Distinguished good looks and proportions, cool, beautiful and having graceful expressions. A clear head, bunburyodo and perfect scores.

This was the truly perfect Ojou-sama.

Suzutsuki Kanade.

Yes, this girl was Konoe’s master who he calls [Ojou-sama], she was the only daughter of this school’s principal, and the successor of the [Suzutsuki] name, really an Ojou-sama. This was the true Suzutsuki Kanade—the girl who was sleeping by my side.

By the way, even being in the same class, we never even had a conversation. This is for sure. A mediocre commoner guy and the most beautiful girl in the school. There was a trench deeper than the Mariana Trench between us.

But then, why?

Why would this person be sleeping by my side?

“U, un….”

A little breath came out of the sleeping girl's mouth.

This is bad.

Cold sweat was flowing down my back. Without any doubts, by my side now, there was a girl. She was close. It felt like the distance was filled by every breath. If a girl stays this close to me...

“...Un?......Ah, you woke up? Sakamachi-kun.”

A dignified voice. She awoke, opened her eyes, took a second look at my face and got out of the bed.

“Are you okay? These handcuffs don't hurt you, right? I think the size is right.”

“………Huh?”

…………………

Wait a minute.

This girl, wasn’t she saying some unbelievable things?

“Do not worry, Sakamachi-kun.”

To me, who didn't even know the situation, it felt like Suzutsuki stayed calm as always.

“The surgery was completed safely.”

“……Eh?”

“With this, you have also become one of our shocker soldiers.”

“Wha—Whaaaaaaaaaaat!?”

I was shocked. This surgery was a remodeling surgery? And also, what does shocker mean...? What do I do? Suzutsuki Kanade, this girl had an unexpectedly high mental age.

“So, now that you have become a cyborg, you’re different from normal humans. Try to scream [Transform!]. This way, your hidden power will be released.”

“Wha, what did you say? O-okay! Un-understood! Here we go! —Transform!”

I was lying on the bed while screaming that out loud.

Silence.

The cold silence was dominating the infirmary.

…………………

Of course, nothing happened. There was no way that I could transform.

Or rather, what was I doing? What a shame. For a middle school student to scream [Transform!]………

“Gu, hahaha.”

I could hear a laugh.

Suzutsuki was laughing at something which she didn't believe would happen. She was holding her stomach, looking like she would die of suffocation at any time.

“Kuhuhu. Transform. He is a middle schooler, and yet, Transform……… Aha, ahahaha. Amazing. I wanted to make a painting of it to show to the future generations.”

“………………”

Hey, I have some questions. This girl, is she really Suzutsuki Kanade? It was too much of a difference in attitude from when we were in class. Usually, Suzutsuki was more...reserved, I thought that was the true form of an Ojou-sama. But the fact that she was truly beautiful won’t change.

“Err, Suzutsuki-san...can I ask a question?”

“Huhu, go ahead, Sakamachi-kun. Or would it be better for me to call you [Jirou] like our classmates?”

“I don’t mind it either way………”

Jirou is a name which I was referred to with, starting from a long time ago. Sakamachi Kinjirou, for short- Jirou.

“Thank you, Jirou-kun. You may have a lot you want to ask, but try to ask calmly.”

Fufu, Suzutsuki was laughing in a refined manner.

………What an occasion.

Now, for a moment, I became fascinated. Kuh, this girl was certainly Suzutsuki Kanade. The prettiest girl in the school. This title was not just for show. I became tense just by talking to her normally.

“Th, then, I will ask. Was it you who bound my hands?”

“Yes. Be careful. If it was to be released, the seal in your right arm would break.”

What’s with this cool story? Am I some battle anime protagonist?

“……Understood. Let’s put a hold on that matter. Next, why were you sleeping by my side?”

“Aah, I can’t? I was only taking a short nap….”

“Only……?”

Ua, I asked it again so calmly. This girl, didn't she have even a bit of shame? I’m also a healthy middle school boy, you know?

“Don’t worry, I don’t have any intentions of being violated by someone who can only use his left hand.”

“What kind of human do you think I am!?”

Who would do that kind of thing? Also, in this infirmary, we had one more bed. Right now, it was hidden by a curtain, but there shouldn't be anyone in there. If she wanted to sleep, she could sleep there.

“……Err, where’s the infirmary teacher Nakamoto-sensei? Where did she go?”

When I took a look at the clock, it was only just passing six in the evening. Usually, at this time, Nakamoto-sensei would be here, waiting to lock the room, if she hadn't been released from her duties.

“Aah, she succumbed to my power.”

“Power?”

“Yeah. That way, she ran out of the infirmary room while crying after being slapped several times on the face.”

“What are you doing to that teacher!?”

That isn’t power, that is violence. This is sad. Nakamoto-sensei was a teacher with a weak mind. Certainly, at this time, she would be inside her car, crying and sobbing.

“Don’t worry. When I say I slapped her, I don't mean that I did it with my palm.”

“Eh?”

“Yeah. With two wads of money, I slapped her three times on the cheek. Then, she ran away from the infirmary while crying.”

“You bought her!? This is what people call corruption!”

“When I told her about Jirou-kun, she said, 'I don’t give a shit about that guy!', and gave me the keys to this place.”

“They were sold! My human rights were sold!”

“By the way, the price was 10,000 yen.”

“Wha—that was the price for a single person?”

“What are you saying? Human lives have no price.”

“The one who attached that price was you, and the one who bought it was also you.”

Even if you say a wad, it doesn’t necessarily mean that all the notes were 1,000 yen notes! To think that a healthy teacher would sell one of her students so easily………

"Sakamoto-sensei...I wonder if she's struggling in various ways, she’s young after all."

“It might be true. But you understand, don’t you? Your rights to life, whether you live or die, are all in my hands...”

Suzutsuki’s lips, which were usually serene, got distorted.

Scary...I instinctively felt the fear. It felt like I was in front of a female vampire. I could be bitten if I relax, even a little bit. *Shake*

“Then, what will I do? First I will start with the ear.”

“Ear? What are you planning to do to my ear?”

“Fufu, that was a joke. I’m not at that level of sadism. First will be your castration, of course—”

“Wait! What do you want, Suzutsuki-san? I’ll do anything that I can!!”

*Gachi**Gachi* I screamed with all of my might, and the handcuffs were clanging.

Suzutsuki Kanade.

My image of her changed. She wasn’t only an [Ojou-sama]. There’s no way that a normal Ojou-sama would have this kind of playful personality.

“Don’t get me wrong. You can’t do anything for me.”

Suzutsuki clearly affirmed that.

“The reason for me arresting you is because you discovered my butler’s secret.”

“................”

Aah, as I had expected. When she appeared, I slightly thought that could have been it. The nightmare before wasn't my imagination, that was the cold reality. In other words...

“Why...why did Konoe come to school dressed like a guy?”

I asked a direct question. She—who was Konoe Subaru’s master, this girl would...she would know everything. Probably.

“If you want to know, it is because of some family matters.”

“Family matters?”

“Yeah. That girl’s……the boys of that girl's family have served as butlers to my family for generations. For this reason, that girl became a butler.”

“……Why is it this troublesome? There’s no reason for the girl, Konoe, to do that. You could just let any of her brothers do that.”

“If I could, I would do that.”

Suzutsuki moved her eyebrow a little.

……Wait. Did I say something strange?

“Subaru is an only child. That’s why she’s doing the butler job. If she had a brother, there would have been no reason for her to be a butler.”

“Re, really? Then there’s no way.”

I wonder why. I had the feeling that her tone was shaking off. Looked like she was trying to evade my question.

“But, my father—the school’s principal, gave some conditions for her to be my butler. And that was, 'Go to the school as a male for three years and don’t let anyone know that you are a girl.' In other words, if she can’t do this, my father won’t let her be a butler of the Suzutsuki household. At least, I think this is the way he wanted to mean it.”

“……Eh? Then……”

“Yeah, that’s right. Today, you discovered that Subaru is a girl. Then she felt that this way, she couldn’t be my butler anymore. For this reason, she tried to close your mouth at any cost. My butler caused you problems.”

“…………”

Now that I think about it, where is Konoe? Don’t tell me that because she had her secret discovered, she turned into a ‘hikikomori’?

“Hey, where is Konoe?”

“Fufu, are you worried about her? So, if you want to see her, then you can see her straightaway. That’s because—Subaru is in this room.”

“...Eh!?”

In this room, where?

While gazing at me, Suzutsuki walked to the side of the bed, then she opened the curtain that was dividing the two beds, and there was…

“Wha—”

That moment, I lost my words.

On the bed that was next to the bed where I was arrested.

Who was there, but Konoe Subaru.

“Ungu—! Ungugug—!”

A voice that didn't sound like a voice was heard.

Of course. There was a ring gag. Konoe’s mouth was forcefully packed with a black mouth fixation. And it wasn’t only that. She also had a chain entangling her whole body. Maybe she also had her hands tied behind her back.

She was all bound up.

Looking at the scene which was happening in front of my eyes, I thought that I was lucky to just have only my hands tied up. Literally, Konoe Subaru was sitting on the bed, with her body completely restrained.

“He…hey, what is that...?”

I let out a shivering voice. Right, now I’m convinced that there were reasons for Suzutsuki to sleep on my bed, but...

“Eh? Don’t tell me, that it isn’t going to satisfy you? Fufun, you are also a little sadistic. There’s no helping you. Then I will put this noose hook...”

“Stop it! Why are you doing these things!? Isn’t Konoe your butler?!”

“E—, but I was doing that only for you sake…”

“When did I ask for such a thing?”

“I thought you would be glad.”

“I am sorry, but I don’t have this kind of weird hobby.”

Whoa, seriously. This is too abnormal. If this doesn't become a little more soft, I can’t follow her.

“Then, is it alright if I remove all these?”

“Of course.”

“I understand. But don’t regret it.”

“As if I’m going to!”

If you don’t, I have the impression that my human side is going to die. But anyway, what a girl. To tie up her own butler. This girl, wasn’t she a completely different person than when she was in class?

“Cough—! Cough—!”

*Gachi**gachi* The ring gag got released and Konoe started coughing.

“Tha, that was horrible, Ojou-sama. Why did you do such a thing!?”

Aah, it was certain that she was going to protest. She was tied up by her own master. This is a violation of the Labor Standards Act.

But, there are no more reasons to worry. Now to just release the chain that was encompassing her body and Konoe would be free...

“Please...please release this chain quickly! If you don’t, I can’t kill that pervert.”

“…………”

Strange...I have the feeling that just now, I heard some dangerous phrases...

“Hey, you damn pervert! If you can only stand there trembling, then just wait for me! I will kill you! I will really kill you! I will give a blow on your brain and send it to Argentina.”

When Konoe’s mouth was freed, it started screaming my death sentences.

Whoa! I forgot! That girl is trying to somehow send me into the darkness...!

“There’s no need to hurry so much, Subaru. I will release the chains now.”

With a sadistic smile, Suzutsuki put her hands on the chains that where tying Konoe.

“Wa, wait a little! Stop it, Suzutsuki!”

At the same time.

Right when I said those words, Suzutsuki’s hands stopped.

But the face she had now, was wearing a mysterious smile.

“Something happened, Jirou-kun? I was only doing as you told me and letting Subaru free.”

That girl, she raised her lips as if she was having fun down to the deepest part of her heart.

“I didn’t tell you, but you are only safe now because I put my own hands into this situation. It was me who saved you while you were about to die in the science room. It was me who also stopped Subaru’s rage. Then, Jirou-kun, now can you understand your own position here?”

“Yes, I understand it now, Suzutsuki-san...”

“Eh? Sorry, but what did you say just now? I couldn’t hear it, so...can I ask for you to repeat that one more time?”

“...Yeah, thank you very much for saving me, Suzutsuki-sama.”

“Fufufu, it’s okay if you understand.”

Like she was satisfied, Suzutsuki pulled her finger away from the chain.

...Just now I realized one thing.

Suzutsuki Kanade.

Without any doubts, she is an "S[3]". Or rather, a big "S". What a sadistic hobby. Different from when she was in class, the Suzutsuki here now was shining like a black sun. This was the truth of the most beautiful girl in the school. Err...this is strange. Suddenly my vision was blurred.

“This can’t be! Please, release these chains Ojou-sama!”

*Gachi**gachi* Konoe was screaming while shaking the padlock.

“That pervert forcefully touched my breasts! And what's more, that criminal got excited and had a nosebleed. We have to kill him right away!”

“Hey, I already told you that was an accident! I didn’t want to do anything bad! And you already hit me enough, didn't you?!”

“Shut up! Even if you say that I hit you, it wasn’t enough! At least, it has to be until that fire extinguisher gets concave!”

“You are clearly wanting to become a murderer!”

If I wasn’t me, I would be backstroking on the River Sanzu[4] Only in such situations am I grateful for my toughness.

“Even if you are wearing clothes like a boy, why are you still using panties? Wear trunks!”

“S, shut up! Boy's underwear is just disgusting, I can’t use them!”

‘Hah hah’ Konoe was breathing hard.

“Besides, it is your fault...because of you, I am going to get fired from my work as a butler! What are you going to do?”

“Don’t get angry. Nowadays in Japan, it isn’t so strange to see people unemployed. Tomorrow I will go with you to an unemployment office.”

“I don’t want that! Kuh! No matter what, I have to stay as Ojou-sama’s butler...kuh!”

Geh. This is dangerous. She’s about to cry. Or rather, she was already crying. While Konoe held back her sobs, a mass of tears was slipping down her face.

“I will curse you. Be aware that if I get fired, I will appear below your bed!”

“No, that doesn’t mean that you are going to die.”

“For me it is the same, it will feel like I am dying.”

Wah! What I do? The way she said it, I had to become panicked! I've never had any experience with girls crying in my whole life. I've never gone through any situation like this before. It felt like there was an infection by some unknown virus.

“Relax Subaru, it’s alright.”

She smiled like an angel. Her tone of voice would make everyone who heard become calm.

“For what reason do you think that I tied Jirou-kun? It was for you to not stop being a butler, right?”

“…………”

Err—, what does that mean?

The remark was too sinister for me to even try to protest—. At that moment.

Suzutsuki jumped on my waist as if she was riding a horse.

“!!!!!”

My breath stopped.

Light.

I wouldn't say that she was as light as the feathers of a bird, but Suzutsuki’s body was unexpectedly light.

“...But...that doesn't matter!”

“I wonder, what doesn't matter?”

While messing around with her long hair, Suzutsuki looked calm, as if she was taking a coffee break.

I, who was reluctant, had my mouth open like a suffocated goldfish. Or rather, I was suffocated.

“Jirou-kun. Does your body have any special conditions?”

Gulp.

“I heard from Subaru. When you had a nosebleed, you said something about your body...”

Hii—. This girl suddenly came to a painful point. My heart raised its pace. I had the sensation that my mouth was burning.

“Nee, you're pretending to stay quiet?”

Judge Suzutsuki’s special interrogation court session. The defendant was of course me. Now that it came to it, I will have to stay silent. For the time that I am tied up, I will keep my mouth closed, and somehow get through this situation.

“This is also fine. Now that you have turned this way—I will directly ask your body!”

“Eeh—?”

When I realized what she said, she, who was riding on my waist, was twisting her mouth in a weird shape. After that, those white fingers started to remove my shirt buttons one by one.

“Hey, hey, why are you removing my clothes!?”

“Stay still. You know, my hands could go crazy and hurt your body.”

“Don’t say this kind of fearful thing so easily!”

“By the way, my grip strength in one hand surpasses 80kg.”

“Don’t lie!”

“Fufu, I got found out. But it’s alright. In my house, we have a torture technique that goes back through the generations, it will get your rib in one bl—”

“Stop it! I understand! I understand, so stop touching me—!”

Even if I put all my might into the scream, it looked like it won't reach Suzutsuki.

In the gap from my shirt, that white finger was sliding like a snake on my ribs. Thin fingers. With that cold feeling on my skin, my heart *dokun* jumped.

This was bad—

This feeling like all of the blood in my body was being concentrated on only one point.

My face was hot. The interior of my nose became irritated.

This is the worst...I can’t endure it anymore.


*Spluurt*


The sound of something spraying out.

My vision had gone red.

Nose bleed.

Sure enough, I’ve got a nose bleed from being touched by Suzutsuki Kanade.

Mayo Chiki! Vol1 063.jpeg

“Th—This big perv! How could you?! How could you get excited from Ojou-sama’s touch and have a nose bleed...?!”

I could hear a furious voice coming from the side bed.

To my front was Suzutsuki, whose body and face was dyed in red because of my blood.

“Fufu...I see. This is interesting.”

Suzutsuki, while thinking, narrowed her eyes.

“Don’t tell me, that your body has nose bleeds from being touched by girls?”

“Eh?” A question mark appeared above Konoe’s head. Maybe above my head, the two kanjis for despair were pointing out.[5]

They discovered it. The secret that nobody besides those of my family knew, was discovered by the girls of my class...

“Maybe it is an allergy? But this is a condition that I haven't heard of before.”

“...iiya, this isn’t an allergy. This was unnaturally acquired.”

"Hey, do you know ‘Sakamachi Akemi’?" I asked statically.

“I know her. She appeared a lot on television some time ago, right? If I’m not wrong she was a—female pro wrestler.”

That’s right. Sakamachi Akemi. The female pro wrestler who had the nickname [Senketsu no Jou][6], and she had won a lot of titles. She had her name known world wide, which is why she appeared so many times on TV.

And, what I was trying to hide...

“The fact is, that person is my mother.”

“This is the first time that I've heard of this.”

Unexpectedly, Suzutsuki was surprised.

“But, how is that related to your condition?”

Konoe was staring with wondering eyes.

At first glance, it didn't seem to be related, but it was greatly related. This was really more relevant than the Gundamium Alloy.

“Err, how do I put it…? I get beaten.”

“Ha?”

Suzutsuki and Konoe opened their mouths together in response to my words.

“In my house, my mom loves to talk about fights. And it's not just that, my 1 year younger sister also loves that. And since I am a kid, living with that battle maniac family, I grew up while getting beaten every day...”

Ah, just remembering that made me feel bad.

Sandbag.

If I was going to say it in one word, my position inside my own family was that of a sandbag.

Brain buster, STO, Frankenstein, Texas clover hold…etc etc etc. The number of times this body got hit by their techniques was more vast than the number of stars you could count in the night sky.

“[This is to train you!] or [Love Whip!] or [I love you, Onii-chan![7]]... I lived 10 years of being beaten by my mother and my little sister while hearing that... The result was this embarrassing condition...”

Gynophobia.

If I was to explain, those words were the fastest way. The influence of this twisted family relationship was that I became too weak to the touch of women. But also thanks to that, my body became very strong.

“But why do you have nosebleeds?”

“I don’t know it very well myself, but it can be a habit. And, I thought that maybe if I had a nosebleed, they would stop beating me. But it eventually came to the worst point of me bleeding only from being touched by a girl...”

“...But, this is family kindness. They didn't keep beating you if you were bleeding, right?”

“...No, that’s wrong. I heard them talking before about the room becoming dirty.”

“………”

Konoe became speechless. She looked at me with eyes like she was looking at a soaked dog in the rain. Looked like she was thinking pitiful things about me. This could mean that she was more of good person than I thought.

“Then, this is what is going on.”

While sitting on my hips, Suzutsuki opened her mouth.

“You are a chicken guy who can’t help but to fear a girl’s touch.”

*Gusa* I felt like a knife had pierced straight into my heart.

Uwaaa, why is this girl saying that so straightforwardly? Too much of a fast ball. If you don’t throw a softer ball, my heart won't be able to take it with its wooden bat.

“Nee, isn't that right? Sakamachi Kinjirou-kun?”

“!?”

You are calling me by my full name at this time? Do—don’t tell me, this girl...noticed? The secret of my name that no one had noticed up until now...!

“What’s up with you? Say something. Sakamachi Kinjirou-kun.”

“…………”

“Saka-machi Kin-jirou-kun.”

“…………”

“Sakama, Chicken, Jirou-kun.”

“…………”

“Chicken-kun?”

“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Not withstanding, I screamed out loud.

“What’s happening, Chicken-kun? There’s sports drink being released from your eyes.”

“Stop! Don’t call me by that name!”

...I’m cursed. It can’t be anything besides that. They say that the name determines the body, but that is indeed true. Chicken, I can’t believe that such an annoying word was incorporated into my own name...

“This is a good name, isn’t it? There’s nothing to be so ashamed of.”

“How did you come to that conclusion from our talk?”

“That’s right. In the future, you should marry a person named [Okamachi]. If you do that, it will be more fun.”

“Ha?”

Okamachi Kinjirou.

Oka-machi Kin-jirou.

Okama[8], Chicken, Jirou.

“Ne? That’s fun, right?”

“That’s not fun! How can you think about such things so easily!?”

Was this girl a demon?

Devil Suzutsuki.

From now on, I will call her this in my mind. This was the only resistance I could have from her dominance.

“This is a little bad.”

“Wha—!? You can read my heart?”

“If you are going to call me by another name, then call me [The Slaughter Angel Kanade-sama].”

“Heinous! This is becoming even more heinous than before!”

“Or even [Lyrical ☆Kana-chan].”

“A hundred and eighty degrees of difference! This definitely doesn’t fit you!”

“Then [Slaughter Angel ☆Kana-chan].”

“Don’t mix them!”

Conclusion.

Suzutsuki certainly was Suzutsuki. She managed to collapse all of my energy.

“By the way, Jirou-kun.”

Suddenly, Suzutsuki’s mood changed.

“Do you want to cure your phobia?”

“Yes. If I can, I want to cure it.”

Try to have a body that has a nosebleed every time it is touched by a girl. You would be misunderstood, like what happened before with Konoe. It will be a solitary life. Low birth rates and longevity would be conduced. What I really wanted, was to cure this phobia right away. I wanted to be cured, and start touching girls.

“Then, should we help you?”

My ears couldn’t believe those words.

“I think that your phobia is only a sense of fear imprinted into your body against girls. Then, as a reflex, your body reacts with a nose bleed. Like a Pavlovian dog[9]. But if we wipe out this sense of fear, you won’t have nosebleeds anymore, right?”

“That is...”

How is it. I had the feeling that what Suzutsuki was saying was correct. But, how would I wipe out the sense of fear?

“I’m telling you that we are going to help.”

With a resolute attitude, Suzutsuki proclaimed.

“We will help you with the curing of your phobia. I think that the requirement is only to make you become not afraid of girls anymore. Together with Subaru, I will lend you the necessary assistance. In compensation...”

“In compensation...?”

“I want you to not tell anyone that Subaru is a girl.”

She even went so far as to add on, "Even if you die."

I know what you want to say. In other words, an exchange of conditions. In exchange for me protecting Konoe’s secret until the end, even if it meant my death, they will help me to heal my gynophobia.

“My father hasn’t heard yet, that you discovered Subaru’s secret. If you protect Subaru’s secret, he would never realize that we've broken the conditions.”

“This is clearly fraud.”

“It’s okay if he doesn’t discover it. Then, will you make a deal with me?”

“Instead of making a deal, it’s more like a complicity.”

“Wonderful. I love it. With such a complicity—I think that I won’t be bored.”

“...By the way, what would happen if I broke the conditions?”

“Then I would have no other options but to take tough measures like Subaru did. In a month from now, an unidentified body will be found in the area of Fuji forest[10].”

Uwah, this girl could say fearful things in such a straightforward manner. What about the complicity. This is clearly blackmail. But...it doesn’t matter if it’s a complicity or blackmail—now, I have no other options than that.

“I understand. I will follow your orders, Suzutsuki. But...is Konoe okay with that?”

I took a glance at Konoe who was on the side. It’s about this girl who called me a pervert. She wouldn’t want to make a deal with me.

But surprisingly, Konoe thought a little with her head down, then said,

“I am Kanade Ojou-sama’s butler. I will follow her orders. Also...”

“Also...?”

“No...it’s nothing.”

For some reason, I couldn’t imagine what Konoe was going to say.

“Fufu. Then, it’s decided.”

Suzutsuki was laughing very happily. Maybe she saw something fun?

“By the way Jirou-kun, the symptom of your gynophobia is only having a nosebleed? What happens if you are continually touched by a girl, even while you're having a nosebleed?”

“Eh? Well...I probably will not be able to endure it and will faint due to blood loss.”

Really, how many times had I fainted while being beaten by my mother and my little sister. I don’t know what they did after that, but I woke up safely, thus I think that they didn’t do any bad things to me.

“But how is that relat—”

And.

I said all that and became speechless.

Rather, I was silenced.

Suzutsuki’s fingers were stretched on my ribs.

“Err, excuse me, Suzutsuki-san?”

“Don’t worry, Jirou-kun. This is an experiment. For future references, I have to know how long your body can endure.”

The devil Suzutsuki was smiling with the shape of a crescent moon.

This was dangerous. This girl, she was clearly enjoying this.

“Stop that! There’s no need for you to do such a thing, hyan!”

“Ufufu. Although I only touched you a little, you gave me such a cute voice.”

That thin and long finger slid up and down my skin multiple times.

Looking from the outside, it would seem like a heavenly situation, but for me who has gynophobia, it was close to torture. My vision was about to fade. This way, my soul will have a safe trip to the other plan.

“Please, save me Konoe, this way I will really faint.”

With a blurred voice, I asked for an SOS with all of my might to the side bed.

“I am a butler. Not a magician. That’s why I can’t leave this chain.”

Saying that, Subaru-sama silently closed her eyes.

“Hey! Don’t pretend to be asleep! I beg you, don’t overlook this- hyaaaa!”

Aaah, from today onwards, will this be my normal daily life?

My consciousness was fading away gradually.

In the middle of this, I prayed to God for the safety of my chastity.
