“Sheesh, this trip’s been a whole thing. I’ve messed up a lot. Totally down in the dumps...” Right when I was thinking that it was rare for Yoshino-san to look so gloomy, she did a one-eighty. “But, y’know, the ocean was suuuper fun! The dolphins at the aquarium were hella cute too! Overall, the trip’s been awesome!”
“O-Oh... That’s good...”
It was like the pessimist in me was being purified by the bright optimism she was radiating. I was simply envious of how easily it seemed she could enjoy life.
“Well, so that’s basically how it is! I wanted to apologize in person, so I’ll see ya around!” And just as she was about to disappear as quickly as she appeared like the typhoon she was, I suddenly remembered what Mizuto had asked me to do for him.
“Oh, wait! Mizuto wanted me to tell you something!”
“Huh? He did? Why?”
“I’m not really sure, but... Uh...” I tried to remember exactly what he’d said and then regurgitated it: “It might be too late by now, but you should tell our teacher.” As soon as these words left my mouth, Yoshino-san froze.
Huh? Why? What meaning was in the words he said? It seems like she knows what he’s talking about, though. Then, Yoshino spoke in a soft voice, her expression still frozen.
“And...Mizuto said that?”
“Y-Yeah. He didn’t clue me in on what he meant by that, though.”
“Oh... Okay. Thanks. I’m not really sure either, but I guess I should go straight to the source, right?” she said, snapping back to her usual brightness, but I couldn’t get her previous expression out of my head.
It was as if her mask had been broken, like a crack had formed on her face. I couldn’t help but envision it. I silently watched as Yoshino-san returned to her friends and remembered how Mizuto said he’d take care of the rest.
I guess there’s nothing left for me to think about. That’s what Mizuto had said. All I needed to do was focus on having fun with Asuhain-san on this trip. In that case, I needed to do just that. I stuffed Yoshino-san’s expression into the back of my mind and returned to the table where Asuhain-san was waiting.
A hero was born in the changing room.
“Huh? Huge... Ginormous!”
“What the hell’s your diet like?! Do you do gymnastics?!”
“No, it’s a guy! It’s true what they say about them getting bigger when guys grope you!”
“M-M-M-M-May I touch them?!”
After opening her shirt and revealing her bra, Higashira-san was currently being swarmed by a group of very excited girls, like an idol and her fans. Higashira-san, however, was unable to say anything resembling words, and instead kept muttering “um” and “uh” while her arms flapped around.
The biggest difference between tonight’s hotel and all the other ones up until now was that it had a communal bathing area, which featured a hot spring. All the girls basically decided they couldn’t not go, and as a result, the situation in front of me was born. It’s only natural, I suppose...
It was only a matter of time until Higashira-san’s huge boobs became known to the girls in the class. Until now, she’d been able to avoid this because her clothes, her slouch, and her lack of a presence hid her breasts. She’d inevitably drawn attention to herself when we changed for phys ed. Thanks to the sheer size she was packing, she was soon unable to shield them from others.
But up until now, nobody’d had any chance to really get close to her to really experience them. Her “boyfriend,” Mizuto, was very protective of her, so no one ever had the chance. He would never let anyone try to embarrass her in an open area, or a closed one for that matter. Nor would he let her be alone with just me or Akatsuki-san.
From the girls’ perspective, they didn’t want to garner any ire from the popular Mizuto, so it was kind of an unspoken agreement that none of them would lay a hand on her boobs. That’s how things had been, but now, in this space filled with just girls, our bodies were laid bare. In this case, the interest of the girls couldn’t be contained any further.
“Okay, folks, back it up!” In place of Higashira-san, who’d gone beet red and silent, Akatsuki-san stepped in and played bodyguard. “Form a single line! It’s a thousand yen per grope!”
“That’s highway robbery!”
“A thousand yen? Sheesh...”
“I-I have ten thousand... Will that work?”
“Do it! Use that money you got from your parents!”
“Hey! Put your wallets away!” I yelled.
As a member of the student council, I couldn’t allow this to happen right in front of me. Hearing my angry voice made the girls scatter, allowing Higashira-san to heave a sigh of relief.
“Thank you very much, Yume-san...”
“No worries. I can only imagine how pissed Mizuto would get...”
“I was so close to developing a fetish for high school girls lining up to fondle me one by one.”
“Maybe you’re the one he’d get pissed at...” I really want to believe she’s trying to make a joke. Then I looked at Akatsuki-san, who had already stripped down to her panties. “You shouldn’t sell other people’s bodies!”
“I thought they’d back down with that price, but I freaked out when they actually took it seriously, ha ha ha!”
“Sheesh...”
But then again, I think the only reason that Akatsuki-san and I were able to fight temptation is because we’d already fallen prey to it during our Kobe trip. Though, I definitely wouldn’t have paid a thousand yen.
Finally, Higashira-san put her hands on the back of her bra, unhooking it with a satisfying click. The girls that’d run away were shooting side-glances at her. After Higashira-san released her boobs from the cups of her bra, the swellings on her chest bounced around like rubber balls, eliciting impressed gasps from the girls.
But also, with Higashira-san getting all this attention, I should probably help her out. I wasn’t going to deny anymore that I wasn’t also like her, someone with large boobs, but Higashira-san was acting like a lightning rod, keeping other people’s eyes off of me. But more importantly, all was silent around Asuhain-san.
She’d quickly changed out of her clothes, and covered her curvy breasts with a towel. Of course, there was no way that she could really hide the huge lumps on her chest, but thanks to Higashira-san, leering eyes kept away from her. Asuhain-san would be able to handle this even less easily than Higashira-san, so I was happy she didn’t have to experience anything bad before I took her into the hot spring.
“Irido-san?” Asuhain-san asked, looking at me curiously, most likely because I was taking so long to get changed.
