After Having a Physical Relationship With a Pure and Beautiful Girl, I Became a Slut, but It’s Okay Because I Have a Strong Libido. - Episode 61

Although Tatsuma was fast asleep, Akane had to get up early because she needed to be at the work site early in the morning. As she was originally a short sleeper, waking up early was something she was used to.

Then, Akane frowns at the smell emanating from Nanase, who is standing in the corner of the room with a sleepy look in her eyes.

“Nanase-san, why don’t you take a bath?”

“Eh, why…does it smell?”

“Yes, to be honest, it stinks… and I don’t want to smell anyone other than Tatsuma.”

“I, I get it. So don’t look at me with those scary eyes…”

Perhaps aware of this, Nanase obediently followed suit and headed to the changing room.

Even though sheets were covering him, Tatsuma was completely naked and was unaware of what had happened that morning.

＊＊＊＊

“Ah, I’m sleepy…”

One morning, when neither Akane nor Nanase was there, Tatsuma was heading to school.

“Wow, amazing as always.”

In front of the school gates, a group of reporters and cameramen rushed to interview the students. Shy Tatsuma is naturally not good at interacting with them, so he climbs over the school fence to get in.

According to the TV reports this morning, Akane’s name had been mentioned, but Miku’s hadn’t been mentioned at all. Tatsuma felt a little relieved.

However, people’s mouths are loose, and information tends to leak out, whether from teachers or the police, and Miku’s story had spread around the school.

Tatsuma’s classroom was no exception, as they were buzzing with excitement over Akane’s incident and Miku’s incident, which they somehow found out about.

“President Yamada has been arrested.”

“Saito-san, you were raped by the deceased Nakanishi-kun and the student council president!”

“That information is outdated. So is Hanaoka, the PE teacher.”

“Oh really? Poor Saito!”

(Maybe it’s just a matter of time before Saito-san’s name appears in the news… But my name never comes up.)

Despite having won the Inter-High School Championships as a boxer last year, few people knew his face; only his name. Therefore, the students around him perceived Tatsuma as a student with no friends, even in the classroom.

(There are also some bad things being said about Saito-san… I don’t want to hear them.)

Having seen the actual incident and Miku crying, he only felt sympathy for her, so their conversation was nothing more than noise to Tatsuma.

And so the morning came to an end as I tried to ignore the vulgar stories I couldn’t bear to listen to.

＊＊＊＊

No matter the season, Tatsuma always had a set place to eat lunch.

These are stairs that lead to the roof of the school. Since you can’t get to the roof, there’s no point in passing through them, so no one comes.

I usually have lunch here.

As I was gratefully eating the homemade lunch Akane had made for me, the person at the center of all this conversation suddenly appeared right in front of me.

With tears filling her eyes, Miku ran to the stairs leading to the rooftop as if to escape. She then cried out in surprise, as if she hadn’t expected anyone to be there.

“Wow! H-Hagiwara-kun…”

“……Thank you”

“What are you doing here?”

“As you can see, I’m eating lunch.”

“yes……”

“…”

“You don’t hear anything?”

“Yeah……”

Tatsuma had no idea what to say to the rape victim, and no idea how to comfort her as she cried.

“Hey, can I stay here too?”

“Fine… I’ll go somewhere else.”

(I guess I can eat my lunch in the classroom.)

Miku grabbed Tatsuma’s sleeve as he tried to stand up.

“If you don’t mind, could you please listen to what I have to say…”

Her eyes were those of a tired person, and that was understandable.

He is surrounded by enemies and has no one who will be his ally.

It’s only natural to want to cling to someone in a situation like that.

“Of course… if you don’t mind me.”

Tatsuma sat on the stairs again, and Miku sat next to him.

There was silence between the two of them, but it was Tatsuma who spoke first.
