NTR Kousuke

Chapter 45

I never thought that something like betting everything on the outcome of a beauty contest would happen in my life...

When I complained that my escape route was cut off, Kousuke-kun said,

Kousuke: "It's a do-or-die situation..."

he groaned.

That means fighting a decisive battle where you can't retreat, right?

Well, I only told Kousuke-kun that I was drawn into the top clique girls, entered the beauty contest, and that my standing in the class would depend on the results.

When I first agreed to film the documentary, there was talk about entering the beauty contest to build confidence, but I honestly didn't intend to go that far.

I also intended to convey that I wanted him to hear my confession announcement on the second day, regardless of the beauty contest...

But, it's fine now!

I'll give my all to the beauty contest! I'll be brave! It's a do-or-die situation!

I can no longer retreat.

I unknowingly made my best friends run errands for me, and now there's no place for me even in my old corner.

If I stand out this much in class, get targeted by the second-tier and below (no offense), and get expelled from the top clique, what will they do to me...? *shivers*

The only ones I can rely on now are Osada-san's top clique girls' group.

I have no other choice but to complete my diet, finish the documentary, achieve results in the beauty contest, contribute to the class's maid café, and confess to Kousuke-kun!

I just have to believe in that single path and push forward!

Again, I'm relying on Kousuke-kun, crying, laughing, getting angry, getting lost—it's a complete mess.

But no matter what I say, Kousuke-kun gently advises me.

Painful, painful, painful happiness. The kanji are similar, but I wish for happiness more often!

And finally, this weekend is the last filming for the documentary.

Whether I cry or laugh!

Just 2 more kg! I can do it!

Every day, I run to my limit, drink water! Minimal meals!

I won't choose my methods anymore.

I don't even have the right to choose!

Attendant: "Is this your first time donating blood?"

"Yes! Please!"

The next day.

It's still not enough...

Of course, full-speed dash!

Snip, snip, clipping my nails. I want to cut my hair too...

*Contains somewhat sexual content! Please be careful!

The next day,

"Only here..."

Shori-shori...

It feels so cool. I shaved off... my hair.

The next day.

Osada: "Yukaricchi? What have you been eating just now?"

"Huh?"

Osada: "Huh?"

"Eek! I was sucking on shiitake mushrooms, dried shiitake mushrooms... trying to produce saliva... even just a little..."

Osada-san and the others recoiled.

Measurement Day.

Today's measurement, and tomorrow's documentary filming marks the wrap-up!

Today's scale numbers will be filmed and remain as documentary footage.

The film club members, led by the captain, will edit it and present it as a documentary [recorded video work], a truthful record-based expression, for the film club's activity report at the cultural festival.

The location is the film club clubroom.

The place where we did so much boot camp.

Three months that began with the wish to change here.

When I look in the mirror, I see a different person.

I have to pass this ritual to acknowledge myself.

The clubroom was tidied for filming and feels about three times larger than usual.

Everyone is watching with bated breath.

Especially Kousuke-kun and Tanaka-kun. They're incredibly nervous.

Hehe, you guys aren't the ones being measured, are you?

It's fine even if I don't reach the goal of 50kg! I've lost so much weight that it's obvious to everyone! Everyone will support me.

But, you know? Of course, I want to achieve my goal.

Since I've come this far, I want to reach the goal of 50kg, or at least 50.4kg, considering rounding!

I'm wearing a short-sleeved gym shirt and shorts over my underwear, barefoot.

I hesitated just now; the sneaky thought of measuring without a bra and panties crossed my mind.

But it's good I didn't... being braless and panty-less with so many people watching would be too terrifying...!

It's embarrassing, but... my nipples have been erect from excitement and tension for a while now...

If I hadn't worn a bra, it would have been a terrifying development! Too scary...!

The scale shows minus 700g.

It's deducting the weight of the clothes.

The clubroom is silent, filled with tension.

Tanaka-kun looks at me and nods; I nod back.

Kousuke-kun looks worried...

I make up my mind and gently, gently step onto the scale...

Stepping on it gently won't make it lighter.

Still, the scale's needle swings wildly! It's an analog type!

How rude! I'm not that heavy anymore, am I?!

With a prayer-like feeling, I watch the needle settle.

Kousuke-kun... in such a prayer-like pose...

His desperation is endearing.

That's right, we worked so hard together, didn't we?

Memories of summer vacation flash by like a revolving lantern.

I confessed, got rejected, cried to Kousuke-kun, wished to change in the film club, was made fun of by Mishima-san, Airi-senpai supported me,

I ran, ran, ran! Like a workhorse!

I spent all my time in the film club doing boot camp and Joyman exercises!

Every day, I swallow protein meals; I'm so sick of chicken breast.

My boyfriend's pancake is delicious...

Protein milk is also delicious.

Ah, the days of sweating that I don't even want to remember.

Whether I laugh or cry, this is the result!

The needle gradually settles.

There should have been a digital scale in the infirmary too; the film club must have chosen this one because an analog scale definitely creates more tension.

There's no more struggling; this is the result of my hard work!

The scale's needle is...

Kousuke: "49.9kg!!!"

Kousuke-kun's loud voice, the first time I've ever heard it!!!

I'm overcome with emotion!

"Kousuke-kun!"

I instinctively hug Kousuke-kun!!

But everyone from the film club also hugs me and Kousuke-kun, getting all jumbled up!!

Two minutes later.

Yukari, her face bright red, holding her chest.

Kousuke: "...Someone among you, taking advantage of the confusion, fondled Yukari-san's side boob..."

Club members: "...Kousuke-kun is scary..."

Tanaka: "... (I can't say it...)"

Although the suspect couldn't be identified and was released, Tanaka-kun was tormented by the memory of Kousuke's intensely glaring eyes.
