[Takeuchi1]

The place is the karaoke where the party after the mid-term exams was held. After separating from their classmates there, the chairwoman, Risa-chan and Takeuchi-kun joined Nishino, Rose and Gabriella at a separate room in the same karaoke. The intention was to talk about the kidnapping in the abandoned building. Then Nishino's casual comment, directed at Rose, changed the atmosphere of the conversation.  

"Isn't that obvious? I said you're Takeuchi's girl."

"........... "

The two who seem most surprised are the chairwoman and Risa-chan. After a brief moment, the girls shut their mouths and look back and forth between Rose and Takeuchi. She started to look at them with a look of "What are you talking about? " On the other hand, Takeuchi's face was tense. His brain starts to race with excuses to get out of this situation. It would be a disaster if you simply nodded your head. It could affect the rest of your school life. On the other hand, Nishino has a smug look on his face for some reason. 

"If there is one thing that I can trust in you as a person, even if it is only a little, it is your relationship with Takeuchi-kun. For that reason, I feel that I can accept your existence in our school life."

14

He is determined to push Takeuchi-kun. He was a futsumen who wanted to get closer to the handsome man of his dreams. It's a great way to earn points. On the other hand, the person who was tagged is quite damaged. 

"Hey, Nishino. You've got it all wrong, haven't you?" 

"Wrong?"

"Just so you know, Rose, I don't think she's interested in me." 

"Is that so? But from what you've told me before......" 

In the middle of a conversation, the futsumen almost reveal a past conversation. Takeuchi interrupts him at the last moment and continues with his own turn. He takes the initiative to deal with the problem before it spills out of the other person's mouth. 

"I'd love it if Rose could be my girlfriend, but I'm not sure she'd be interested in me. I mean, maybe once, just to try something out, but if you want to be next to her, it's impossible for a normal guy."

"Is that so?"

15

"So don't say anything weird, okay? You're annoying Rose!"

Taking advantage of the ambiguity, Takeuchi tried to persuade Nishino, hoping to cover up a previous error he had made saying something like that. Takeuchi's attempt to persuade Nishino was more successful than he had imagined.  

"Oh, I understand," 

Thanks to this, Takeuchi can breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, it's not only Rose who is there, but also the chairwoman and Risa-chan. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the top two girls in Class 2A. Their opinion of him was something that even Takeuchi could not ignore. He was afraid to show his ugliness in front of them. But his fears had not gone away.

"Hey, Nishino-kun. I'd like to ask you something."

"...... What is it?"

"What was the context of the conversation you were referring to?" 

"............"

The blonde lolita asked him a question, and Takeuchi-kun's expression tightened again. 

"It's not a big deal, Rose-cha....."

 

16

"I'm asking you, Nishino-kun?" 

" ............." 

The expressions on the faces of the chairwoman and Risa are also full of doubts. It was hard for Takeuchi to take on the challenge of being pointed out in person by Rose, who was at the top of the school caste. The example of the performance she showed against Nishino was only possible because he was a lower caste. However, he was saved from such a crisis in an unexpected way.

"It's not a big story. It's a love story." 

"......Love story?" 

Rose's face twisted into a look of forgiveness. The chairwoman's eyebrows wrinkled in annoyance. It's love talk, of all things. It's a love talk from the mouth of a futsumen. 

"Don't go into it too much. There are some topics you can only talk about if you're the same sex."

"............" 

It's the futsumen who read the atmosphere.

17

As for Takeuchi-kun, who survived the incident, he has mixed feelings. Should he be annoyed or grateful to the person in front of him? Takeuchi never dreamed that the day would come when he would be indebted to someone else. 

".........Yes, I understand." 

"This conversation is over. Is that all okay?" 

"Yes, it is." 

"Good." 

When Rose showed her conviction, Nishino retracted the subject. Shortly afterwards, her arm moves. A hand reaches out and touches the remote control on the table.

"Okay, so let's start the karaoke, shall we?" 

"......Are you going to sing?" 

"And did you know we've included a drinks service?" 

Rose happily begins to manipulate the screen with the remote control. She seems to know her way around a device and is very experienced with it. Perhaps she had learnt it in the past when she visited with her friends, or perhaps she had enjoyed it before she moved to the school. Either way, she seems to have no hesitation in singing in public.  

"Sister, I want to hold it too!"  

18

" You have another one, don't you? Use that one." 

"I understand." 

As soon as Gabu-chan showed an interest in this, the rest of the day's plans seemed to be set. With the help of Takeuchi, who wanted to get to know Rose, the mid-term exam party was held at a karaoke, as originally planned. For Nishino, it was an unexpected first attempt at karaoke. When he saw Takeuchi, the chairwoman and Risa in the same room, he changed his mind and decided that this was not so bad. He is a man who loves his youth, and he has always wanted to try karaoke when he has good friends. The room was filled with the sound of singing for a long time until they got bored. 

◇ ◆ ◇

On the same day, Nishino was walking home from a karaoke with Rose. Takeuchi, the chairwoman and Risa-chan, who had been singing in the same room, went back to their classmates after the party. They said they were going to have a third party at a friend's house. It's a great way to have some fun with the drinks you couldn't have outside. 

19

In contrast, Nishino, Rose and Gabriella had split up when they left the shop. However, one of them secretly followed the futsumen and met up with him at the station. Only Gabu-chan, who went to her house, she went home alone. 

"Nishino-kun, you can stay at my house today, okay?" 

"Why ?" 

The two walk side by side through the station. Because of the popularity of the place, people around her kept glancing at Rose. She didn't seem to mind this, and kept talking to Nishino. It was the perfect opportunity to talk to the man of her dreams without being disturbed by anyone else. 

"You can't go home and sleep like this, can you?" 

"As long as the bed is safe, everything else will be fine."

"I checked the scene, and there was some kind of mess."  

"......It's that so."

Her invitation was perfect. She was referring to the horrors she had encountered during the day at the futsumen house. For this reason, she had urinated on Nishino's bed and on the sofa in the living room, without telling Gabriella, who was searching with her. It was just like a dog marking. 

20

This is the reason why she suggested to Gabu-chan that they go separately in the house. She was very excited by the whole process. She said that she particularly liked the idea of hooking it to the bed and blankets. 

"I don't want to think of them as people like us, they're no better than dogs."

 In the end, Rose's actions have been unilaterally degrading and humiliating. 

"It's been so badly soiled that I doubt it's even a blanket." 

She tells him that she has nowhere to sleep if he goes home. She had gone to the trouble of exposing her lower body to prepare for this. Gabriella was also in the house, so it was a risky move. But she had squeezed every last drop out of her body for this moment. 

"I've left the bed in your room, so you can use it as you like."

" ...... " 

The futsumen is depressed at the thought of the devastation of his house, which has yet to be confirmed. From the information he had been given, he decided to stay at Rose's house for the night. It was too late in the evening for him to change the beds and sheets. In the first place, the shops selling bedding were not open. 

21

It was also an option to find a hotel nearby. However, as the day was about to change, it was difficult to find a room where he could check in. At the same time, the fact that it was a place where they had been taken care of at least once lowered the mental hurdle for the futsumen.

"You're welcome to use it as you like for a while until your house is back to normal. Also, the pet hamster that was in your room, I took it to the bar in Roppongi, so please come and get it when you can." 

Then, as if to add salt to the wound, the existence of a pet came up. It was the beloved Duke of Ham, whose survival had seemed hopeless to his owner. 

"Is he alive?" 

"He is a very clever boy. He got out of his cage and hid in the shadows." 

"......Okay."

This was such a joyous moment for the futsumen that he couldn't help shouting.  A warm feeling naturally filled his heart. Today, it is Nishino who has been left in the care of Rose. When this happens, he accept her proposal. 

"...... Thank you for your concern. I need to use the room for the night." 

"It's decided then. The trains are running low at this hour, so why don't we go out and get a taxi? It won't take too long from here. I'd like to stop at the supermarket and pick up some food for the night."

22 

" Okay."

The atmosphere between them was more friendly than ever. At least that's how Rose felt about it. It seemed as if they had gotten back together much better than they had before the festival, when they hadn't even spoken to each other. Her happiness was cut short by a simple comment from futsumen.

"But are you sure about this?"

"What's wrong ?" 

"I'm sorry if I'm bringing this up again. If Takeuchi-kun is worried about you, then you should avoid doing anything that might make him feel uncomfortable."

" ... What does that mean?" 

"Takeuchi dumped you, didn't he?"

" ... " 

No, it seems that the formula such as Takeuchi-kun or Rose is established in Futsumen. For the questioned side, it would be no more humiliation. Moreover, it is even more so if the person who talks about it becomes the person he or she is interested in.

23

"I hate those silly jokes." 

"Isn't that correct?" 

"Of course not. In fact, how did you come up with that idea?" 

"But didn't you fuck him?" 

"What ?"

Rose's steps stopped at the words that continued.

" ..... Oh, my mistake." 

After confirming that much, Nishino finally realized that Takeuchi-kun was lying. It is the futsumen that he honestly believed until now. At the same time, he saw Rose's eyes twitching, and he knew he had made a mistake. It seemed that the lie that the handsome man had told her was something she could not ignore. Nishino understood this, despite his lack of communication. 

"Hey, Nishino-kun. I have something to tell you." 

"What?"

"Is that your misunderstanding? Or is that what he told you?" 

"I was wrong. I'm sorry I said something so strange."

24

"So those are his words." 

" ....... "

In no short time, the futsumen responded in a fluent manner. Rose understood what he meant by his fluent reply and asked.

"I'm not accusing you of anything, so please answer honestly, but could this be the reason why I've been called a slut before?"

"..........."

It was a direct hit. At this point, there is nothing to say. Nishino did not think that Takeuchi's light words would cause such a serious problem. Even now, when she understands the truth, she thinks that it was just the kind of vanity that teenage boys tend to have. But for the girl in front of him, it was a matter of life and death. Rose finally understood why none of the previous attempts had been successful as far as she was concerned. With only three months left on her three-month deadline, the blonde Lolita is starting to get impatient, and her gut is boiling. 

"Well. I'm sorry I spoke badly of you."

25

"What's wrong? There is nothing wrong with Nishino-kun. If there's a problem, it's with the person who took the liberty of calling someone his girlfriend, isn't it? I think there are two kinds of lies, good lies and bad lies."

"However, Takeuchi did not mean to offend...... " 

"Isn't there a word in this country's law for negligence, with or without malice? Only a kid can say he didn't know what he was doing. Don't you think they are old enough to know better and should take responsibility for their own actions?" 

"......You've got a good point." 

"Isn't that right? I knew you'd say so." 

"............." 

Rose, unusually, was a complete winner. At the same time she understood. That the person in front of her values her virginity more than she thought. So she decides to be frank.

"Nishino-kun, just so you know, I'm a virgin." 

"......Is this the right place to say it?" 

"Because if I don't tell you when I should tell you, you won't listen to me."

26

" ........... " 

He's a futsumen, that's for sure. She's a beautiful blonde with a loli figure, so when she hears that she's declared a virgin, many people look at her curiously. Not just men, but women too. Nishino, who was standing next to her, felt uncomfortable.

"I'll tell you the rest of the story at your house." 

"I hope you'll continue to listen to me." 

"Okay, okay. That's fine. I'll get a taxi." 

"Oh, I'm so happy!" 

The smile on Rose's face as she looked at Nishino, who responded honestly, was a very genuine.

◇ ◆ ◇

27

After the party of the mid-term exams, the chairwoman declined to attend the third party and went home. 

28

While many of her friends were there, she still went home because she did not want to drink. She is planning to go to university, possibly with a recommendation, and it would be a disaster if anyone found out that she had consumed alcohol. That's why she's been determined to stay serious. The chairwoman can't wait to join in, but she holds the line. So today, after leaving her good friends, she is back at home studying. On her desk are the subjects in which she did not score well in her exams. She is in the process of identifying her key subjects and creating a study plan for the next exam.

"After all, memorized subjects are the main problem, aren't they? There are also cram exams ......" 

Muttering to herself, she runs her pen through her notebook. The speakers on the table are playing one of her favorite rock songs that has recently been released. It's Tarosuke's song, of course. She plays it over and over again, racking her brains over what to say and what not to say. After a few moments at her desk, she hears a device vibrate in her hand. It seems to be an incoming call. Like many young people, she rarely talks to her classmates.

29

The family members have already gone to bed, and Shimizu checks the screen, tilting her head to see who it is. The word "Francisca" appeared on the screen. 

"...... " 

The two had exchanged contact details when they met in a coffee shop a few days ago. Although she told her in advance that she would call with the results, the chairwoman was surprised when she actually received the call. However, there was no option not to answer. She presses the call button in fear of the blonde.

"Yes, hello....... "

"I'm sorry, have you fallen asleep?"

"Oh, no, I'm just doing some studying."

"Really? Can I have a word with you now?" 

"Yes, it's fine, but......"

The voice on the other end of the phone was as crisp and clear as ever. Despite her difficulties, Francisca is a beautiful and strong professional woman who is the ideal image of the future for the chairwoman.

"First of all, I'd like to thank you for your help with the channel. Thanks to you, we were able to arrange things in a way that suited us. I'm not much of a complimenter, but this went better than I could have imagined."

30

"Oh, no, you're not obliged to do that......" 

"As for your payment, can you tell me where to send it? If you prefer cash, I can provide it, but where would you like it? Personally, I'd prefer a bank transfer."

"Is it possible to use a normal bank account?" 

"Yeah, it's fine." 

"Then that......"

At Francisca's suggestion, the chairwoman told her about the account she uses to save her pocket money. It was not a lot of money for an adult. However, it is still a very important savings account for her. After telling her, Shimizu felt a rush of anxiety. 

"I'll transfer the money to you tomorrow, and you can check it later." 

"Ah, yes." 

"And one more thing the main topic is this......" 

The chairwoman tilts her head as she puts her bank card back in her wallet. 

31

She knew that Rose was behind Francisca, and the clever chairwoman had learned from past experience that getting involved was not a good idea. She wanted to get off the phone and get back to her studies.

"You are interested in a job using english, aren't you?" 

"What? How did you know that ......" 

Her own future goals are unexpectedly revealed to her. Shimizu's back stiffens as she looks away from the textbooks on her desk to the window facing the street. She wondered if she was being watched, and her suspicion was groundless. And she is half right, half wrong. In Francisca's hand, there is an investigation document of the 2A class, led by Nishino. There was also, of course, a summary of Shimizu personal life.

"Do you want to try out a simple job using english? " 

" ........Eh ?" 

What was said was an unexpected offer. 

◇ ◆ ◇

32

The next day after the exams was Saturday and the whole school was closed for the day. Even so, the only people who come to school are the students who are busy with their clubs or the teachers who are busy with their work. Naturally, with the exception of a few classrooms, the majority of rooms are unoccupied. The door is locked and no one comes in or out. It's a quiet place on campus. A group of students stand in a particularly quiet space behind the gym.

"It's very unusual to be calling from Rose. What's the matter? "

"There's something I really need to know." 

"Oh, yes?" 

It was Takeuchi-kun and Rose. As the words were exchanged, the latter called the first one. Thanks to this, the handsome man is dripping with cold sweat under his shirt. What came back to his mind was an incident that had come up the other day at a karaoke. It seems that the cost of that has come over the day. 

"The other day, at karaoke, he said to me..."

33

"Ah, that's Nishino's misunderstanding? " 

Takeuchi replied to Nishino's words by placing the blame on him. That was his biggest mistake.

"I think he said that, but I ... " 

" I want to kill you here. " 

The next moment, Rose moved. The next thing you know, she's kicking the ground and jumping out of the way, closing in on Takeuchi-kun. Her right hand reached out and grabbed his neck from the front. As the fingertips tighten, they are squeezed tighter and tighter.

"...."

The momentum knocked the handsome man off balance and he fell backwards on the spot. His back slammed into the ground, choking him, and the back of his head hit the ground, making his eyes go black. For a moment he almost loses consciousness, but the pain that follows almost wakes him up. The pain rushed through every part of his body and his breathing suddenly became difficult, causing his whole body to go stiff. 

"You've made me waste my time." 

"Ro, Rose? ...... What's going on? "

Takeuchi's face is distorted from pain, but he smiles. At the same time, his arm, which had been raised to the ground in an attempt to pull himself up, was immediately caught by his opponent's extended left hand, preventing him from moving at all.

34

For the sake of her relationship with Nishino, Rose could be as cold-hearted as she wanted to be. She didn't care how upset he was, she just kept on talking. Her eyes stared at Takeuchi as if she had forgotten to even blink. 

"I've wasted so much of my time because of the lies you told." 

"...... From Nishino....Did you hear that?"

"You had sex with me? Who opened their legs to you?"

It is confirmed. When he heard the words thrown at him, Takeuchi gave up. However, he still continues the conversation. 

"Maybe Rose-chan, you mean Nishino ......" 

"So what?" 

" ......... "

In a brief conversation, Takeuchi, with his excellent communication skills, understood what the person in front of him was angry about. It was not until he saw the terrifying force of his arm pushing himself to the ground that he began to question it. Thanks to this, he is alone in his surprise.

35

Unable to breathe, he turned to pacify his opponent. He decided that if his neck was strangled any further, he would be killed. 

"I lied to you, well, I'm pretty sure I was wrong. I'm sorry, Rose-chan." 

"Your apologies won't make up for the time I've lost." 

"So, how do I ......What should I do?"

Takeuchi continued to speak as his consciousness began to fade. If it had been Suzuki-kun, he would have fainted immediately from lack of oxygen, having violently shaken his whole body out of panic. Takeuchi, on the other hand, relaxes his whole body and focuses on his vision in order to keep his mind focused. He was a very strong man, but he was no match for the person in front of him.

"What can you do? I don't know.." 

"...... Explain the situation to Nishino......Do you want me to explain?"  

"That makes no sense. People like you don't understand. So why don't you go ahead and do it? I'll give you more pain than death. Your parents own a hospital, don't they? I'm sure you can think of many wonderful futures."

36

"......What do you mean ?"

Takeuchi-kun's consciousness is becoming more and more fragile. His face is bright red. Even his lips are changing colour.

"It might not be a bad idea to kill you and become the one he is looking for. It might take a while, but it would be a much brighter future than being separated from him."

"........ " 

Takeuchi couldn't see that Rose was joking. He didn't think so, but he could see the murderous intent in her eyes. The way she stared at him was especially frightening compared to the way she had seen Matsuura-san's eyes on stage at the dance event. Matsuura-san, Matsuura-san, Matsuura-san. The name popped into his head and he thought to himself.

"Rose, do you love Nishino so much that you want to kill him?" 

"Kill him? You've got to be kidding! I'd rather be killed! But not in the usual way. I want to be killed so that I will never leave his mind, so that he will never forget me, so that he will think of me evermore!"

37

"…......."

It would be similar, the handsome man decided. Then he, too, began to have some options for what to say next. He didn't want to be killed in a place like this. At the same time, he had to make sure that he did not destroy his reputation with the person in front of him. In the blink of an eye, Takeuchi quickly assembled all the minor points and spoke briefly to Rose.

"Rose, I'm wasting your time."

"That's for me to decide." 

"It's more of a chance." 

"Are you begging for your life?" 

"He thinks that Rose has been opening her legs to other people, right? If so, he'll definitely be aware of that gap. He's a virgin, so he's vulnerable to that kind of thing, didn't you know?"

".........." 

"I can help you, if you want me to."

 He had no hesitation in treating Nishino as a virgin. Rose thought about what he had said. 

"...... I see."

38

"I'll definitely help you, Rose!" 

It is Takeuchi-kun who is finally nearing his limit. The face, has begun to distort to the point where its shape is almost unrecognizable. At the same time, a blackness is slowly creeping up from the corner of his eye. He would not last more than a few minutes at this rate, he knew from the medical books he had read during his studies. Rose has given him an ultimatum. 

"But I still want you dead."

" .........." 

"If I kill you here, he will turn his attention to me. Always and forever......"

A force was added to Rose's right arm. The pain in Takeuchi's neck is intense. It was a pain that made him realize he was doomed. It was a pain that made him aware of his mortality. What came to Takeuchi's mind was a running memory of his life so far. The memories of his childhood, from the time he can remember until today, are flowing at a dizzying pace, along with his own body, which is progressively moving towards the present. Most of them have been in bed with the opposite sex. 

39

She was pretty. She was nice and tight. She had nice tits. These thoughts are now passing through the mind of the dying handsome man. There are countless times when he has been in a hurry because he accidentally come inside. Sometimes, because he had met another woman the day before, the amount was too small for the first shot. On the other hand, there were times when it was so strong that it got into his hair and he had to be helped to wash it. All of these memories are dear to his heart. It was a scene from his youth that he will never forget. 

"..........." 

The next thing he knows, he is being summoned to a holiday school. The blonde-haired, lolita girl who has decided to be the next one, but has yet to make it. When he received a call from her, he went to the back of the school building with nervousness. Takeuchi looked at her cute figure in his memory and thought. He thought, -I don't have enough sex as it is now. I want to fuck more and more women. I can't die without having sex with Rose.-

40

-I definitely want to have sex with Gabriella. It would be unacceptable for me to die without having a threesome with both of you. And of course, without a rubber.- Such honest thoughts raged in the handsome man's chest. What came was an unparalleled craving for intercourse. It was a never-ending desire to fuck a woman. It's a desire that has grown even bigger than his fear of death. 

The sincere desire of a handsome man who has fulfilled the required conditions works miracles on the body. It is a somewhat feeble technic compared with those of Nishino and Rose, who are constantly busy around him. It is inferior. But it is certainly the result of a similar process. 

"Eh ...?" 

Suddenly a question comes out of Rose's mouth. It was the result of a physical change in her opponent. 

"Ahhhhh ... " 

Something that sounded like a moan escaped from Takeuchi's throat. At the same time, his whole body began to emit a faint glow.

"What the hell is this? ......" 

When she feels the sensation of the fingertips gripping his neck, she pulls her arm back in a panic. 

41

Rose's eyes are black and white and her fingertips have turned purple. In some cases, the skin has melted away, revealing the flesh. In addition, for some reason, the ability of regeneration does not work well, and the healing speed is much slower than usual. Rose, horrified by this fact, leaves Takeuchi-kun in a panic. The handsome man, meanwhile, begins to recover as his respiratory tract and blood flow are restored. As his complexion improves, he regains the consciousness he had almost lost.

" ............."

The eyes, which had been closed, finally opened. Immediately, the glow of the flesh disappears. The air, inhaled deeply, flowed through his lungs. As soon as his consciousness became clear, Takeuchi raised his upper body as a reflex. Every part of his body ached, but he made no pretence of being concerned about this. He was a handsome man who thought it was important to look good here. 

"Are you like him or me?" 

42

"Eh ? Um, Ro, Rose-chan ? " 

"Body fluids can become such a powerful poison......" 

Rose's bruised fingertips were covered with a thick layer of saliva that had leaked from Takeuchi's mouth. It's not just a matter of time before she'll be able to do something about it. It was as if a strong acid had been poured on her. 

"...... Poison? What? What's poison?"

"And I'm not sure we're the best of friends if you're trying to delay my healing." 

Takeuchi says he doesn't know what's going on.  In response, Rose glares at him with a tense expression.

"You mimic them very well, don't you? I didn't even notice." 

"Mimics? By mimics, do you mean like a chameleon?"

"But now that you're out in the open, I won't let you off the hook so easily. I'll leave you alone for now, but remember what I said. I don't know what you're after. But one of these days I'm going to make you wish you'd never been born."

"Eh, hey, Ro, Rose-chan !"

Takeuchi called her name, but in vain, Rose turned on her heel and ran away. He's as fit as ever, and even the ace of the football team is having trouble keeping up with her.

43

The posture of the runner was beautiful. In the blink of an eye, her back is gone, hidden behind the school buildings. 

"Rose, what poison?......"

All that was left was one handsome man who did not understand what was going on. 

44
