[Poisonous Takeuchi-kun]

On the third night of his work experience, Takeuchi received a call from Rose. 

He went to a coffee shop on the outskirts of the business district, surrounded by miscellaneous buildings. Checking the entrance, he stepped into the coffee shop. 

There were few customers in sight. 

In the back of the room, Takeuchi saw a familiar face, and moved towards her. 

" ...... Francisca-san, right ? " 

"Oh, it was early." 

He could not find Rose in the shop. 

Instead, he spotted a old lady. 

"I've been called by Rose, could it be ......?" 

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm the one who needs to talk to you."  

"......" 

"Why don't you sit down? 

" ... Excuse me." 

298

At her request, he sat down in front of her. 

After ordering a hot coffee from the waiter, Takeuchi turned to Francisca. The first thing that caught his eye was her breasts. Underneath her tight suit, her huge breasts greeted his gaze.

However, this was only for a brief moment.

"Well, what do you want to talk to me about?" 

With a serious look on his face, Takeuchi asked. 

He was in no mood to be joking around. He knew after the incident at the hospital that the woman in front of him was not just a woman with good looks. The sight of her with the gun in her hand was still vivid in his mind. 

"I'm going to be frank with you, would you like to be under my control?" 

"What do you mean, under my control? ......" 

"The poison you have in your veins, your magical ability, is not supposed to be out in the world. I will try to prevent it from being revealed to the world, and in some cases I will put it to good use. This means that it will be under my control."

"........."

"By the way, Rose is in a similar position."

"Eh ... "

299

Francisca's words made Takeuchi-kun's eyes widen. 

He is a handsome man who now knows about their relationship.

At the same time he is convinced of her outstanding physical abilities. 

"What do you think? If you refuse, I will have to think of something else to do. So if you can, it would be nice to get an honest yes here."

"...... " 

"Do you need time to think?"

" ... Is it the same for Nishino ? "

After a few moments of hesitation, Takeuchi asked a direct question. It was not only about his relationship with Rose, but also about the person who has been on his mind lately. In the past few weeks, this has been the cause of a lot of confusion in his mind.

"No" 

"Oh, I see......." 

"It's more like he's different. If I tried to get him to move, I'd have to bow to him."

"Um, what's that supposed to mean?"

"It means he's so much better than Rose."

300

" ...... "

The good thing is Takeuchi-kun, who doesn't feel like he's been swayed. However, the look on Francisca's face when she said this made him feel somewhat proud, and he decided to take it as a sign that she was telling the truth.

He now understood that the man in question was more qualified than he had first thought. Can he do it too? was just one of the many questions that came to his mind. But the good-looking man who could read the air refrained from asking any more questions. 

Now Takeuchi is convinced that the incident on the trip overseas was justified. 

"I understand. Let me help you." 

"Oh, you're so honest, aren't you? I'd like to give Rose a taste of her own medicine." 

In response to Takeuchi's reply, Francisca smiled at him. 

He felt his spirits rise as he gazed straight ahead at the beautiful white woman.

And Takeuchi is a man who is always looking for a chance. 

The words that followed were aggressive in nature. 

"So what do I do now?"

301

"There's nothing I'd like you to do." 

"Eh ? " 

"If anything, I'd like you to get checked out. " 

"That ... " 

However, Francisca's words were simple and casual. 

Thanks to this, the person who asked the question was disappointed. He had been expecting to be given some kind of outlaw job. In his head is the image of Nishino, standing in the corridor of the hospital.

"The most important thing I ask of you is that no one else knows about what happened to you. Me and Rose know about it, but no one else must ever find out about it. Do you understand? " 

"Does that apply to Nishino too?" 

"Yes, indeed." 

" ...... Yes, I understand." 

" If we need your help, we will contact you again. So until then, please continue to live your life as normal. The only thing we don't want is for you to think of strange things and do things on your own."

302

" ...... " 

When he realized that he was not considered, Takeuchi-kun became a little more mature. It's a feeling of inferiority towards the futsumen that has started to grow recently. 

"In that context, can I assume that your poison is free to use? Or are there any conditions or circumstances that need to be met? While you're here, why don't you tell me? "

"Right now, unless there is something wrong with me, my fluids are not poisonous." 

"Right now?" 

"Well, that's the ......" 

In response to Francisca's question, Takeuchi told her about the experiments he had been carrying out at home. The toxicity increases when the sympathetic nervous system becomes dominant. Nevertheless, there is now almost no toxicity in body fluids, with the exception of semen. 

Furthermore, it is possible to deliberately increase the mood and produce a very powerful poison.

The report includes the intention to share the data of the experiment if necessary. 

"Hmm"

" ...... What do you think?"

"Send me the data later to the designated place."

" Yes."

303

"And no sex for the time being. Can you promise me that?" 

"Yes, well, I'd rather not injure anyone......." 

Francisca smiled at him and told him to get back on his feet.

"Not even with a rubber on?" 

"...... No" 

For the time being, Takeuchi has decided to continue the experiment. 

Since he hasn't flirted with a girl for a while now, the handsome guy has been stressed out. The fact that his last partner was Matsuura-san has also put a strain on his mental health. 

◇ ◆ ◇

This is the share house where Nishino has been living for a while now. 

He's relaxing in the living room of his house, oblivious to the fact that Francisca and Takeuchi are talking about him. He sits on the sofa, picks up some chips and watches the latest anime on TV. 

Then Rose came to see him. 

304

It seems that she has just finished taking a bath, and her body is all warm and smooth. If you're Takeuchi or Suzuki, you've seen more and more of the opposite sex after bathing around the time you went to junior high school. But for the virgin, it's an unfamiliar sight. Since living in a shared house, the number of opportunities has suddenly increased, and he is still conscious of it. A wet blonde, smooth skinThe look in her eyes, which seems to be somewhat moist. 

All of this is done on purpose. He was unaware of Rose's intentions. He never dreamed that she would schedule her daily baths to suit his lifestyle. 

Therefore, the virgin is undoubtedly conscious of her.

"You watch anime too?" 

"Don't be naive. It's pretty funny." 

"Oh, really? I'll have a look." 

Muttering casually, Rose sat down next to Nishino. They are within arm's reach of each other. The scent of a woman's body, fresh from the bath, tickles the nose of a futsumen.

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

305

In the bathroom of the house there is enough shampoo and other things for both of them. In the same room there are two bath sets, one for Nishino and one for Rose. The latter's set had been carefully planned with Nishino tastes in mind.

The effect was outstanding. 

The fresh scent naturally drew Nishino's attention to her.  

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

"No, it's nothing."

By the way, Gabu-chan uses the same bath set that Nishino uses. So when she comes out of the bath, Rose is often annoyed to find that she smells just like the man she loves. 

Because of this, Gabriella regularly uses shampoo and body soap prepared by Nishino, which contain Rose's bodily fluids. It will be a long time before she finds out about it. 

"Tomorrow we go back to school as usual."

306

Rose mumbled, staring at the TV.

 Nishino, also looking at the screen, responds casually.

" Oh, yes." 

"Before that, I have something to tell you." 

"What is it?"

There was a calmness about him that would have been impossible a few days ago. The hostility in Nishino's response to Rose was completely gone. It was almost as if he was talking to a classmate in the classroom of Year 2A. 

After seeing this, Rose continued to speak vigorously.

"You seem to think that I've been working for them out of some kind of ulterior motive, but you're mistaken. I don't have any attachment to your beloved Takeuchi-kun either. So please don't be mistaken."

 " ...... You're not?"

" I've heard from him that he's interested in me. He confessed it to me the other day. But I don't have any feelings for him. If you have misunderstood, can you please correct it here?"

307

She was desperate not to make the same mistake again, since she had wasted so much time on the same misunderstanding after Takeuchi's boldness. 

Nishino, on the other hand, was slightly intrigued by the conversation with Rose. Although she is a colleague of his, she is just as concerned about her school life as he is. It is not easy to talk about love with someone like that. 

In the meantime, he was still a bit curious about what had happened at the hospital. He now understands the meaning of the words given to him by Takeuchi in the hospital. 

"It's a shame that such trivialities should ruin a comfortable space. If it bothers you, you can check with him. Just don't bring it up again, okay? "

"Yes, I understand."

Rose can breathe a sigh of relief, having dealt with the misunderstanding earlier in the day. 

What remains to be seen is how Rose will manage the situation. 

She will continue with his basic strategy of isolating Nishino from the rest of the team, while treating him kindly. At the same time, she wanted to make sure that he was surrounded by the right people, which had not been possible before. 

The fact that she has been recognised by Nishino as a friend of his does not mean that she will keep her distance. From now on, she is going to be kind to him and make him dependent on her head on before he can say anything sweet. -My honest intention is to kidnap everything from food, clothing and shelter to care you myself.-

308

Having realised that her virginity was her weapon, Rose decided that now was the time to attack. 

"By the way, Nishino, how are things going with her?" 

" .............. " 

The cheeks of the futsumen watching the anime quivered. 

Naturally, he hasn't made a single step forward from before.

"After all the times I've talked to you about this, I'd feel bad if I just abandoned you and let you enjoy your school life. So I would like to continue to support you in the future."

" ... What's the benefit to you ? " 

"Oh, you still say that."

" Is it different ? " 

"I'm sure that's exactly what you meant to me last night"

She was referring to the words of encouragement given by Nishino to Rose the night before. 

As soon as she heard it, she was quite surprised. 

 

309

Still can't believe it. 

" ... I see. " 

"That's why I'd like to check on your progress." 

"......" 

And when things get like this, it's the unattractive virgins who get into trouble. 

Rose's heart flutters as she watches the confused Nishino. 

She understands that there is no progress in his situation. That's why she asks the question. The blonde haired Lolita could spend hours looking at Nishino's troubled relationship with the opposite sex. 

"To be honest, it's not looking good. " 

"I see." 

"But that doesn't mean things will stay the same......"

"I have a suggestion for you." 

He is a man who has made many attempts to make contact with the opposite sex in the past. Regardless of the result, Nishino is a presence that cannot be ignored. His influence in the school is also on the rise, as he has become closer to Takeuchi-kun.

" ...Let's hear it"

310

Recently, Nishino has had more opportunities to interact with Risa and has received kind words from the chairwoman, so his credibility is being regained in certain areas. Takeuchi's declaration of rivalry is no different. 

However, he is still disliked by all the other students. Once the bad publicity had spread, it was not going to be easy to stop. At the end of the day, we are at the bottom of the pile. Even across the grades, the effect is noticeable. 

That's why the opportunity offered by Rose was so valuable to him. 

"How about a part-time job ?"

 "........." 

As he listened to these words, Nishino felt his eyes widen. 

Since entering high school, Nishino had experienced little financial difficulties. That's why Rose's suggestion was a bit of a surprise to him. It was a reminder to him that working and earning money is not the only thing that can happen at a part-time job. 

"Yeah, a part time job......." 

"I think I have learned a lot about the culture and customs of this country. I think that working part time in restaurants and convenience stores is one of the most popular topics of conversation among teenagers, along with schoolwork and club activities."

"I think you've got a point there."

Nishino knew very well that it would be difficult to turn things around on campus. 

311

So he tried everything from club activities to sharing a house. However, because of his financial situation, he had not yet decided on a part time job. 

For a while after his trip abroad, when Rose was holding his wallet, he thought that if he wanted to earn money, he could take a job from the Marquis. That's why the word "part-time" never came to mind. 

Nishino's attention shifted from the TV to Rose. 

In this situation, the dialogues of the characters do not get into his head. 

"I think I can help you in a part time job."

"...."

For her part, she doesn't think it will go well. The image of Nishino, who had demonstrated his cynicism at work, being quickly rejected came to mind. Rose thinks that she can comfort him and make him dependent on her, not only on campus but also in his personal life. 

Now that she's no longer a disliked person, she doesn't have to resort to the same tactics as before.

312

At the same time, she is also excited about the idea of working with the man of her dreams. 

Rose's attack on Nishino is about to take a big step forward. 

"What do you think? " 

" ...... If you'd like to help me, that would be great." 

"Then, I have to find a part time job." 

"Right." 

In the past, Nishino has always given a certain amount of credit to the person in front of him, at least when it comes to the mediation of the opposite sex.

"Just so you know, you can't just go to a place where there are lots of girls."  

"That's what I learned from you when I selected a club." 

"I hope so ......" 

Rose looks at Nishino with a worried look in her eyes. 

In the back of her mind, since yesterday, she has been thinking about choosing a part time job that he and she can enjoy together. 

313 

In the midst of all this, suddenly there was a voice that echoed through the living room. 

"Heeeeaaahhhh!" 

It is a lovely scream. 

It was Gabriella. 

It was coming from the hallway and across the wall from the living room where Nishino and Rose were. From the way it reverberated, it was probably coming from the bathroom. 

Both of them turned their attention to the voice and wondered what had happened. 

"It's cold, it's cold!  The water came out of nowhere!" 

Even without checking the scene, Nishino had a general idea of the situation. 

Gabu-chan, who uses artificial limbs and legs, finds it more difficult to judge the temperature than others. When the water heater had run out of hot water, she was hit with cold water as hard as possible. In the meantime, Gaby's screams continued from the bathroom

"Ah! The hot water supply has been switched off!"

314

When he saw Rose's reflection shortly after the bath, he did not bother to think who had done it. The serious expression on his face had changed to one of annoyance.  

"...... Can't you get along with her?" 

"It's a habit from when I lived alone that I keep turning off."

".... " 

Rose, without a hint of guilt, said that. 

It was difficult to get her to say anything about it, so Nishino gave up pursuing her. 

For Rose, the relationship with Gabriella is not so different from the relationship with Rose for Nishino after the school festival and before the work experience. In this light, Futumen could not force the girls to improve their relationship.
