Chapter 183: Be a Pervert or Die!

[30s!]

Thirty seconds?

What could one possibly do in thirty seconds standing before a girl whose clothes were about to… explode?

Should he grab tissues first or drop his pants?

No!

That can’t be right!

Completely wrong! Saying it first was just to eliminate the possibility!

Yes, mere elimination!

And maybe fish a little—

To see which readers actually had twisted minds.

Ahem! And for you guys who naturally thought to do that… Well, I have some very bad news.

You… you might be Perverts!

…

Alright, back to the actual thirty seconds.

Thirty seconds was more than enough time to sprint back to his bedroom.

Himekoji could absolutely escape the “Clothing Explosion” scene perfectly and avoid committing a crime! Solid plan!

[30s!]

The instant the countdown started, Himekoji leaped into action.

[1s!]

Huh?

Wait, one second?

Had he misheard?

How did it jump from thirty seconds to one?

He hadn’t even taken his first step yet!

Where did the time go?

Or wait… was a thirty-second countdown only two numbers long now?

Too many things were wrong here! It was insane!

Frozen mid-stride, ready to flee, Himekoji wore a look of utter confusion.

[Explode!]

Then, the next chime arrived, just like that, catching him completely unprepared!

As the System’s voice echoed, the unmistakable rip of tearing fabric followed instantly!

[Nosebleed Judgment, Forcibly Triggered!]

[Nosebleed Special Technique— Torrential “Crimson” Flow!]

Nanami, her cheeks flushed a rosy red and slightly tipsy, seemed completely unaware of what was happening at that moment.

Until…

Until she saw the two terrifyingly unstoppable streams pouring from Himekoji!

“Ah!”

Screamed Nanami.

“Awooo!”

Himekoji screamed back on reflex.

No! How could he say “Awooo”?! He wasn’t a wolf!

The girl’s shirt, pants, even her bra and Pantsu… under the System’s forced Clothing Explosion rule, shredded into countless pieces.

Like fireworks, rising and falling, filling his vision.

“The blue one is the Uniform… the bluish-green one is the bra… the blue and white one is the Underwear…”

Himekoji stood there as if his soul had fled, muttering nonsense he didn’t understand himself.

Come to think of it… he’d already seen blue-and-white striped panties three times recently!

Could blue-and-white stripes be the standard choice for girls lately?

But honestly, when benefits are all the same, they get boring!

Luckily Mashiro wasn’t like that.

What color and pattern Mashiro wore each day was chosen personally by Himekoji.

Looking at it now, Himekoji’s early morning decisions truly carried great weight!

Hang on!

This wasn’t the time to be thinking about that!

…

“M-my clothes?!?!?! Ah!!!!—”

First, she blinked in utter disbelief. The next second, sheer hysteria took over.

The drunken haze vanished instantly, replaced by overwhelming shock. Covering herself desperately with one arm across her chest and the other lower down, the girl screamed at the absolute peak of her voice.

It felt like her piercing shriek would puncture Himekoji’s eardrums.

“What’s going on!”

Nanami glared at Himekoji, tears seeming to well up in her large eyes.”I… my innocence… over ten years…”

Shock, fear, humiliation, anger, and then utter injustice — that was the storm raging inside Nanami.

“Don’t say it like it’s already gone! It’s still there! Please calm down!”

Himekoji swallowed nervously, mouth dry. He needed to calm the girl caught in this absurd disaster, no matter what.

“It is gone! You saw everything, you Pervert!”

If looks could kill, Himekoji would have been dead ten thousand times by now… probably more.

“I didn’t see! Absolutely didn’t see!”

Himekoji declared, hastily closing his eyes and turning away like trying to fix things after they were broken.

“I won’t look! I absolutely won’t look! Nanami, please trust me!”

“You! You think there’s nothing worth seeing on me?!”

Eh, strange…

Was Nanami sounding even angrier now than before?

His attempt at comfort wasn’t just ineffective — it might have backfired completely!

“No, of course not! Worth seeing! Ultra beautiful! My nosebleed’s gonna go nuts!”

The latter part of Himekoji’s statement was absolutely true.

Because of the System’s mischief, his nosebleed poured relentlessly, making him feel dizzy, as if he might faint from blood loss.

No, it wasn’t just fainting—it might make him go into shock!

“Perverted High School Student Dies After Wild Nosebleed Upon Witnessing Female Classmate’s Naked Body—Rescue Efforts Ineffective.”

Damn it! That kind of news headline had already flashed through his mind!

If he really died like this, wouldn’t his entire life become a complete joke?

Stop! Don’t bleed anymore! Keep this up and I’ll die!

[Ding!]

[Please Choose!]

[A: I choose death! Let the blood flow like a river!]

[B: I swear to live on strongly as a pervert! No time to waste! Hurry up and flatter Nanami with those shameless, lurid lines.]

[Reward for Completion: Skill—’Clothing Explosion’!]

[Failure Penalty… Eh, never mind. Dead men don’t need punishments.]

“……”

Himekoji stayed silent.

Option A meant bleeding to death from a nosebleed. Option B meant being beaten to death by Nanami.

So, was this forcing him to choose his preferred way to die?

And he had to pick one.

[Ding!]

[C: Pleasure yourself while gawking at Nanami’s naked body until death by exhaustion!]

Enough! I wasn’t asking you to add a third option!

I absolutely don’t want to see any more shameless choices like that!

[Please Choose!]

The System urged relentlessly.

……

“H-Himekoji?”

Finally, Himekoji broke the silence.

“It’s so annoying, you! Don’t speak to me at a time like this!”

Perhaps thrown off by the sudden events, Nanami had even forgotten to dash into the room or Bathroom for cover.

“I… I have to say it.”

Not speaking would mean death.

“H-have to? What could you possibly need to say right now?!”

“A-Aoyama, you…”

“You’re truly beautiful.”

“Huh?”

Nanami froze, seemingly caught off guard by Himekoji suddenly speaking such embarrassing words.

Being complimented like this while completely naked was totally embarrassing!

“Y-you—you fool! What weird nonsense are you spouting?!”

Naturally, the girl grew flustered.

[DISQUALIFIED!]

However, Himekoji had no time to worry about Nanami’s reaction just yet.

Because the compliment he’d finally forced out had been ruthlessly rejected by the System!

Are you kidding?

He, a pervert who rarely praised anyone, had already lowered his pride to utter these words—and still got rejected?!

That’s unreasonable!

Just you wait, I’ll fking kill you, you lousy—

Haa…

Whatever. Don’t argue with a dog.

Himekoji took a deep breath and reassembled his words.

“A-Aoyama… your skin…”

“It’s as fair as milk.”

Surely that was bold enough!

He’d had to overcome so much shame to spit this out!

[DISQUALIFIED!]

[Special Reminder: You have one last attempt!]

Seriously?! Still not good enough?!

Can you please be at least a little reasonable?!

[No reason! We want unapologetically bold! We want obscene! We want perverted!]

[Be a pervert or die!]
