Chapter 89: You Go First, Big Shots~
Telling the system “Gently, please” never worked!
Himekoji Akito had plenty of this frustrating experience…
“Good choice!”
Himekoji urged again.
Compared to Option A, milk tea was clearly much better. Honestly, Himekoji didn’t want to drink something like sister’s milk tea or whatever!
“B… I’ll go with… B then… Ah…”
The moment Kasumigaoka Utaha made her choice, the splitting headache, the strange mix of pain and pleasure, the overwhelming fullness—it all vanished instantly.
“Huh?”
The girl couldn’t help but voice her surprise.
That unbearable yet strangely addictive feeling… how come it disappeared as suddenly as it arrived?
[Please make tea!]
The next instant, the system prompt rang sharply in her mind, startling Kasumigaoka.
The sense of swelling flooded back, but this time, it had moved locations.
Instead of her head, it was her chest.
Her chest suddenly felt much fuller and heavier. Through her pajamas, two very noticeable points were clearly visible.
Himekoji quickly averted his eyes. “You… you should go make the tea now.”
“So eager to drink? Such a pervert, Akito-kun.”
“Would you rather I turn into a vibrating egg?”
Himekoji rolled his eyes and retorted irritably.
“Would it? Would it really? Should we try it once?”
Resting a finger lightly on her cherry-red lips, Kasumigaoka tilted her head, looking both curious and eager to try.
“Please, have mercy on me…”
Himekoji had no desire to live immersed in seawater every day, perpetually wet.
Worse yet, if Ms. Kasumi ever got into certain moods, one wrong move and he could be swept away by a deluge…
“Pfft! Look how pathetic you are.”
The girl covered her mouth, laughing at him.
She didn’t seem scared by the system’s bizarre options at all. Instead… she actually looked like she was enjoying herself…
Wait, this ability to adapt was way too strong!
“So… this is your everyday life, Akito-kun?”
The sudden question hit him like an ambush.
Himekoji was caught off guard. He opened his mouth but couldn’t find the words.
“Now, drink your milk tea~”
The very next moment, however, the girl skipped right past the topic.
She deliberately straightened up, emphasizing her currently much fuller chest affected by the system, winked, and beckoned Himekoji over.
“I won’t drink it like that!”
To drink it that way would be disastrous!
Himekoji scrambled to his feet, shouting.
“Oh? Are you being lazy, Akito-kun? I really need to bring the milk tea right to your lips?”
“Putting it near my lips is forbidden too! Pour it into a cup, please!”
Kasumigaoka tilted her head thoughtfully:
“Oh~ You insist on having it in a cup? Do I need to put in a straw for you too? Really, is this some weird preference of yours?”
“Teasing me is your weird preference!”
Himekoji was nearly broken. Every second spent with this bewitching girl Kasumigaoka was pure torture…
After much more dawdling, Himekoji finally managed to get Kasumigaoka to go to the kitchen.
This crazy girl had nearly decided to “make tea” right in front of him.
Unbelievable! Did she have to push him until he turned into a beast just to behave?
Hah! Wishful thinking!
Early on, Himekoji Akito had decided he’d rather be less than a beast!
…
Besides his persistently foolish sense of responsibility, another reason held him back.
Over a year ago, Himekoji had been forced to sign a contract with the system.
If the day ever came that, under the influence of the Perverse Choice System, he completely lost himself, the system would erase all his humanity, emotions, and memories. He would become nothing more than a husk… a body only capable of doing perverted things, only knowing how to do perverted things, utterly incapable of anything else… a corpse.
Surrendering to his desires, losing his sanity… did that count as losing himself?
Himekoji didn’t dare gamble. And he would never gamble with Kasumigaoka.
He didn’t want to. He refused to.
He was a pervert, true. But before that, he was a man.
Many readers had scolded him, saying he didn’t deserve his exceptionally blessed 18cm, that turning down such an offer made him no man.
Even Kasumigaoka had told him something similar.
But this was what being a man meant in Himekoji Akito’s heart.
He held firm. He clung only to what he believed.
That was enough.
Understanding? Approval? Himekoji knew those were things he’d never be seeking.
Never!
…
Okay, sorry. He was talking tough again.
…
The girl took much longer to “make the tea” than Himekoji had expected.
When he finally took the teacup from her hands, even someone as remarkable as Kasumigaoka couldn’t escape embarrassment—her cheeks flushed crimson.
“I… I’ll drink it?”
The atmosphere felt awkward and strange beyond words.
One second. Two seconds. Three seconds. Kasumigaoka said nothing.
Silent permission?
So, without hesitation, Himekoji brought the milk tea to his lips, ready to take a sip…
However—
“Wait!”
Kasumigaoka spoke up nervously to interrupt him.
Was she shy?
After all, even though she called herself the “Evil God” and liked playing pranks, Kasumigaoka Utaha was really just a girl.
But that thought didn’t last a second. Right in the next moment, it got completely ruined by the “Evil God-sama”‘s next words—
“As expected, you should turn into an egg vibrator for real!”
Not a chance!
Himekoji stayed quiet. Then he ignored her without another word and took a big gulp of the milk tea.
Cheers for now!
It tasted a bit sweet and wasn’t cold. Since it was just squeezed out, it felt fresh and had a little warmth, like a girl’s body heat.
At first sip, it reminded him of vanilla ice cream. At the second sip, it seemed more like egg whites with sugar.
At the third sip… huh? Why did it also have a sour, puckery taste?!
It didn’t taste like the milk he’d had before…
[Ding!]
[Quest Completed, start Clothing Explosion!]
In his head, the System’s sound rang out right on time.
Himekoji wasn’t bothered at all.
He was wearing two layers of clothes anyway. It was just one outer piece that was going to blow off, so he didn’t care.
Sure enough, the next moment—
Rip!
Himekoji’s coat broke into tiny shreds of cloth right away. They scattered and burst in the air, floating down slowly.
The picture—
it looked just like a firework getting lit, shooting up, blooming bright, and then falling apart.
[Clothing Explosion, second piece!]
Huh? Wait, what did ‘second piece’ mean? Why was there a second one?!
Himekoji suddenly felt confused.
But the System ignored him and kept going by itself.
Riiip—
A second firework bloomed!
…
Nearby, Kasumigaoka pressed on her nightgown skirt and gave a sly wink. Then the girl suddenly tilted her head and smiled, looking a tiny bit shy.
Yeah, that’s right.
She had picked A+B.
…
The next moment, Himekoji finally realized something—
He jerked his head to look straight at Kasumigaoka.
The girl didn’t hide a thing—she raised her chin proudly. Her grin showed maybe 0.1 shyness but mostly 9.9 smugness.
Himekoji got it right away!
He felt totally wiped out.
“This… this milk tea… did you add water?”
“Did you like it?”
Kasumigaoka didn’t say yes or no. She reached up to smooth out her bangs calmly, like it was no big deal.
Wow, after sneaking such a strong thing into the milk tea, she stayed so cool about it—that was amazing!
Himekoji sat there bare-chested, all curled up on the sofa and shaking a bit…
“Himekoji-kun, finish it all up, don’t let it go to waste~”
Kasumigaoka glanced at the cup Himekoji had set on the tea table. Then, without a pause, she said softly,
“No, no, better save the rest for the readers… Sharing fun is like drinking together, right? And hey, for monthly ballots, Recommendation Votes, tips, or blades, you can get a free refill.”
