The door is being opened... which means that someone is trying to enter this classroom.

Do we run now? Hide? It's too late for that.

Mai and Rika had gone rigid, and there was no way they could escape in this state, since they had stripped off their tops and were trying to remove their bras.

"(At least... at least if it is a girl...!)"

This thought popped into Rika's head.

No, even if the girls opened up and saw them, it would be a weakness and something that might be demanded of them.

However, if they demand money, they can do whatever they want, including going to the police.

But... if you are a boy.... if a man takes advantage of your weakness and asks you for your body instead of money, etc...

Of course, she would run to the police right after that.

But you may find yourself in a situation where you have to surrender your body at least once.

"(I can't stand that...!)"

Rika's body trembled with fear.

If you look at those who fearfully enter the classroom, you will see...

"Ogiwara-kun..."
A man walked into the classroom.

Moreover, it was Eiji Ogiwara, whom I had judged to be the better of the men.

He was frozen in place with his eyes rounded and the door open.

From the looks of it, it's not like he knew they were making love here and opened the door.

If he opened it without knowing, he would be understandably astonished to see this situation.

Two of the school's most popular idols, both boys and girls, were kissing each other and were half naked on top of each other.

"...Can you put some clothes on for now?"

"Oh, yes..."

When Eiji told us, we froze as well, but then we remembered that we were half naked on top, so we put on our shirts again.

It was impossible to button up all the buttons and wear it neatly in this situation.

"Huh..."

Eiji let out a single sigh and walked up to Rika and Mai.

"(After all...)"
I guess Eiji is just like any other man.

He must be some kind of lowlife who sees a woman's undress and demands her body.

Rika squeezed her eyes shut and hugged Mai tightly, knowing that she had to protect her and wait for Eiji's evil hand.

Finally, he got close enough to reach his hand and...

"...Huh?"
Eiji didn't reach out to Rika or Mai, but just walked right past them and started rummaging through his own seat next to hers.

The two of them watched it with a puzzled look.

"I forgot my... writing utensils. I don't mind if it's a textbook, but I don't want to be without my writing utensils."

As they stare at him and ask him why he is here, Eiji gives them a clear answer.

I'm not here for the two of you.

He took his writing utensils out of his desk and stuffed them into his bag...

"See you later. I don't mean to be nosy, but you never know who's going to see you doing that in a place like this."

When I said that, I tried to walk out of the classroom through the two people who were frozen again.

"Oh, that...!"
Rika couldn't help but let out a squeal at the sight of him.

Eiji, who had stopped, also turned around with a strange look on his face.

There was something that Rika really wanted to ask.

"Do you ever... demand a body or anything like that?"

"... What?"

He opened his mouth with a pout at Rika's words.

Then he let out a sigh of blatant dismay.

Seeing this, Rika's cheeks blush as she wonders if she might be saying the wrong thing.

"I'm not going to do that."

"Eh? But you don't know, do you? Rika and I are both very cute!"

"What?"

"... I'm sorry."

Mai, who was making a lot of noise, surrendered when Eiji looked at her.

Rika was mildly amazed at the fact that he was able to subdue her with a single stare, as she was always energetic and, worse, unpredictable and noisy.

However, Eiji didn't stare hard at her, he just looked at her, but his stern face was enough to emit a sense of intimidation.

"Huh... You know what? Use your common sense, man. You'd think they'd try to use you guys dating and flirting as a shield to do something about you, right? That's a crime. Besides, how can homosexuality be such a weakness nowadays? I don't know because I'm not familiar with it."

Rika couldn't help but agree with Eiji's words.

Sure, it's blackmail. It's a normal crime. That's why Rika was also going to run to the police if he did...

"Umm, yeah... but I wondered if all men would still seek out women for sexual purposes..."

"Boys are wolves, you know. The way they look at me, they're all scary."

Rika looks at Eiji, ignoring Mai who is pretending to be something she's not.

With this big body and muscles that a woman could never get... if he wanted to, the two of them would be subdued and unable to resist.

"Oh, I see. Well, there might be some guys like that. But what do you think men are, you guys?"

"...Mass of sexual desire."

"It's an erotic monkey."

"... is awful."

Rika and Mai's assessment of the boys made Eiji's cheeks twitch.

But he regained his composure and said firmly back.

"Well, most men are reasonable anyway, so few of them would make such threats. I don't either."

"... Yeah."

...I see. Rika has never... or rather still doesn't trust men, however they are human beings and it is natural for them to have reason.

We should be vigilant, but we may not need to be overly concerned.

"And I don't find you guys attractive enough to want to do anything about it, even if it means committing a crime."

"... Yeah."

Rika nodded her head in response to Eiji's rude words, but she did not show any anger.

It's also true. You can't know how attractive a person is when you've only known them for less than a day.

Besides, we all have our preferences. It's just that Eiji's tastes are not our own.

Rika thought, but...

"What—"
There was a woman who couldn't stand it.

It was Mai, who was looking at Eiji with a stunned expression.

"No, what about, uh...?"

"...what?"

Mai chuckles at what he's saying.

Eiji looks at her as if to say, "That's my line."

Rika felt a little embarrassed because there was something unsettling going on between them.

"Hmmm... I think my hearing might have gotten worse. I just heard that burly macho gorilla over there saying he doesn't find me attractive."

"Who's a gorilla? I said I didn't find you attractive, and that's a fact."

"(... no, gorilla.)"
Eiji seemed to want to deny it, but Rika thought so too, even if she didn't say so.

The muscles looked hard and large, and gorilla would be an apt description.

With such Rika aside, Mai, who heard Eiji's words, opened her mouth wide enough to think that her chin was off.

"Ah ah ah ah!?"

A huge scream. Even Eiji, who was a short distance away, distorted his face, and Rika, who had heard it up close, was dizzy.

"Such beautiful dark hair! Such a pretty face! Big tits!　Flabby waist! My ass is in perfect shape! my gestures and the way I talk tickle a man's heart! I'm perfect, aren't I?"

"What are you talking about, dude?"

My body moves as if to emphasize that part of my body every time I say it.

Her side tails fluttered softly, her smile bloomed like a flower, and she rubbed her breasts as she lifted them from below, tracing the line from her waist to her hips with her thin fingers.

But the response was not approval but dismay.

"In fact, I'm extremely popular with boys!　Even more so than Rika-chan!"

"...Is that so?"

"Huh?"

At Mai's words, Eiji looks at Rika and asks.

Surely, she would have a better reputation with men.

It is only natural that Mai would be more popular than Rika, who hates men and avoids them, because she is friendly and approachable.

As Mai herself said earlier, one of the things that makes her popular is the fact that she does things that tickle men's hearts.

On the other hand, Rika is more popular among women.

But if Rika asks with her gaze why he asked her that...

"No, because I prefer Onizuka to that annoying guy over there."

Rika rolls her eyes at Eiji's words.

I didn't expect him to say anything like that.

This is because she had assumed that Eiji would be better off with Mai.

"... Thank you?"
"Well? Don't ask me..."

It's not so easy for Rika to fall in love with him just because of this, but it doesn't mean that she isn't happy.

At any rate, I looked into his face and asked him if I should thank him, and he looked confused.

The air is neither warm nor tense, but indescribable...

"Ah ah ah ah! Why are you coming on to Rika apart from me? You male monkey!"

"Who's a monkey, you little shit?"

Mai exploded.

She hugged Rika's head and growled at Eiji.

"Rika is mine! I don't want her near a gorilla like you!"

"You're overstated..."

I heard Eiji's voice as if he was amazed, but I couldn't see it because Rika's head was buried in Mai's deep cleavage.

I mean, it's hard for me to breathe, so let me go. I'm suffocating to death.

"And you should see me. You should look at me. I'm very, very pretty, aren't I?... Even more so than Rika-chan."

She seemed to be mumbling something at the end, but Rika, who was struggling to free herself from her ample tits, couldn't hear her.

When I was finally released, I could see Eiji, who looked like he was in trouble.

"...well, you may look good on the outside, but... on the inside..."

"Monkey ah ah ah ah! You're the first person to mock me this much!"

"(...where have I heard that before?)"

Eiji looks at her with disappointment and Mai goes crazy.

"All right! All right! Hey, gorilla!"

"So stop that."

Without taking into account Eiji's weary attitude, Mai pointed her index finger at him and declared in a high-pitched voice.

"I will teach you my charm!"

"What are you talking about, dude?"

"... What are you talking about, Mai?"

Even with the puzzled looks of Eiji and Rika, Mai was smiling with full confidence.

In particular, the expression on Rika's face is very rare, but her lover, Mai, doesn't notice it because she has her eyes closed and her chest up.

"That's why I'm saying I'll show you my charms, gorilla."

"I'm not a gorilla."

Rika thought that she was being very harsh with Eiji.

Unlike herself, Mai was often kind and friendly to male students, so her harsh treatment of Eiji was rare.

The thought of... him getting angry and turning that power on her made her feel terrible, but he seemed to be a solid adult and unlikely to raise his hand.

This makes Mai look even more like a child, and also makes me feel very sorry for her as a lover.

"I mean, how do you teach your charm?"

"Hmmm. I'm going to teach you a lesson in a very special way, you ugly gorilla!"

"... special?"

Eiji and Rika tilted their heads.

Mai laughed, pointing her finger at them and said.

"Yes! I'll give the gorilla a chance to play with me after school!"

"No thanks."

"!?"
He answered immediately.

Rika was surprised by this, but Mai was even more surprised.

She only looks cute in front of the male students, but now her eyes and mouth are wide open, making her look very fragile.

But the shock of it all hit Mai.

"You're going to ruin your chances of getting a date with me...? If it were the male students of this school, they would be overjoyed and even pee with joy!"

"I've already told you that I don't find you attractive."

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I really can't forgive you!　You'll definitely have to go along with me!"

"Eh..."

Mai's face turns red and she flails her arms and goes crazy.

Even Eiji, who doesn't show as much emotion as Rika, couldn't help but feel his cheeks twitch.

He asks for help from Rika, Mai's lover.

"Hey, Onizuka. Are you this guy's girlfriend? Boyfriend? right? Do something about it."

"...When Mai gets like this, she doesn't listen to people."

"...How's that for a person?"

Eiji let out a sigh of exasperation.

Rika could only smile bitterly. Still, she likes Mai, and love is blind.

"Hey! Why are you talking to my Rika? I'll be here as soon as I can!"

Before I knew it, Mai was standing by the classroom door, yelling at Eiji for talking to Rika.

Eiji looks at her like she's a pain in the ass.

"... I know it's none of my business, but you might want to think about going out with that guy."

"... Mai has her charms too."

"I see. Well, if it's okay with Onizuka, then it's fine with me."

With that, he put his writing utensils in his bag and carried it up.

While saying something, he seems to be willing to go along with Mai.

Rika tries to look away, narrowing her eyes at his kindness.

Eiji looks at her suspiciously when he sees Rika trying to stay here.

"Ah? Isn't Onizuka coming? Is it okay to leave me alone with her? Boyfriend?"

"... you know, I'm not really with a guy."

"Oh, I see."

Eiji knew that she was somehow avoiding men by the way she looked at him and the way she acted.

No, I think maybe she is afraid of myself, but she didn't say so directly, so let's call it good.

"... Besides, I don't think Ogiwara-kun would do something like that."

Rika tells him with a thin smile.

That kind of thing... means sexual activity between men and women.

Mai was her lover, and naturally men should be out of her league, but if he tried to attack her forcibly, Eiji, who had the strongest physique of all men, would be able to hold her down lightly.

It would be unwise to allow such a man and her girlfriend to be alone together, but Rika, who has been touched by... Eiji's kindness, so she trusts him and is willing to let him go on a date alone with her.

It was partly because I wanted my girlfriend and him, the only one of the men who could be my friend, to get along.

But...

"I wonder if... that would work?"

"Yeah...?"

Rika couldn't understand what Eiji was saying, so she asked him back.

"Hey, hey, hey! I said get your ass over here!"

Before she could rehearse his words, however, Mai's angry voice flew again.

Rika knows that she is the type of person who gets annoyed easily when things don't go her way.

If she kept Eiji around any longer, there was no way he and Mai would ever get along.

"Well, see you later."

"... Yeah."

So, Rika watched Eiji and Mai walk away.

Somewhere in the back of my mind, I felt a tinge of anxiety.

♡

"...What's wrong, Mai?"

On Monday, the first day of the week, Rika arrived at Tendo Gakuen and muttered to herself.

She hadn't heard from Mai since she had left her the previous Friday.

Normally on weekends, Mai would contact Rika about a date, but this weekend there was no such contact.

However, if Rika contacted her, she would reply to her, so she was not so worried...

"... Ah, Mai."

As I was thinking about this, Rika's eyes caught Mai.

"Oh, my God! You've got to be kidding me!"

"Why are you so upset? You're the one who initiated this."

"That's it! You're pissing me off!"

"It's a mess..."

Mai was with Eiji.

Rika's heart fluttered at the thought, but for some reason she was relieved to see that they hadn't grown particularly close, and that the atmosphere was just as acrimonious as it had been when they had broken up the other day, so she approached them.

"... Mai, Ogiwara-kun."

When Rika called out to Mai, who was groaning and glaring at Eiji like a beast in her possession, burst into a very cute smile.

"Ah! It's Rika-chan!"

"Oh!"

Mai jumps on Rika and I manage to catch her.

It's hard to support a woman who weighs more than me because of her ample breasts and buttocks.

"Listen to me, Rika! This gorilla is really pissing me off!"

"Still saying that, this guy?"

"... Couldn't you get along?"

Mai hugs me and rubs her head and starts to talk about Eiji's bad words.

Eiji lets out an exasperated sigh at her.

Really, nothing has changed since the other day. Even though it was just the two of them, they didn't seem to be getting along at all.

Relieved by this, Rika asked him again...

"There's no way. There's no way a gorilla like this and a very cute me can match up."

I'm not sure if she'd be spitting on him if this wasn't a school building.

Even though she was playing the role of the sparklingly cute Terui Mai in public, her emotions were expressed honestly.

"Did you find Mai attractive... Ogiwara-kun?"

"No, I have no idea. I don't know why Onizuka is going out with her."

I asked Eiji about it just to be sure, but the answer was still harsh.

It seems that the two of them could not get along after all.

"... No, you're right. I'm not sure if she is as attractive as it sounds, but I've learned that there are some... good things about her."

"...!!"

"...Really?"

Eiji approached me and reiterated.

If it were true, I would have distanced myself as he approached, but Mai was hugging me, so I was able to stay on my feet.

In addition to that, Rika is inwardly happy because she wanted Eiji to understand the goodness of Mai at least a little bit, even though she didn't want him to understand everything.

For some reason, Mai, who hugs her, suddenly becomes quiet.

I saw that she was starting to shake with a small pull and wondered.

"... Mai?"

"Ah, Rika-chan! Oh, by the way, Kawamura-sensei was calling for you!"

I was about to ask her what was wrong, when Mai looked up with a bang and said something like that.

Was the blush on her face because she was hugging her?

"... Kawamura-sensei? Okay, thanks."

What do I want? I wondered, but when I was called, I had to go.

I thanked Mai and bowed lightly to Eiji before walking away from them.

"... Stop touching me in front of Rika!"

"...Is it okay if it's not in front of Onizuka?"

"... That's an extreme theory!"

Hence, such conversations between the two of them did not fall on her ears.
