Chapter 62 - Undercurrents

...

<POV: 3rd person>

In a semi-filled hall with students, two boys were gossiping quietly in a corner away from everyone.

Alex shook his friend's arm to gather his attention to himself.

"Hey, Hey! Did you hear?"

The boy named Alex took the earphone buds out of his ear and disinterestedly looked at his troubling friend as he asked,

"What? What is it?"

Knowing what Alex had been watching prior to his arrival, it was obvious to him that he wouldn't be too happy being disturbed in the middle. Neglecting the sour look on Alex's face, Joey replied with an excited look on his face.

"We are getting a new chick in our batch soon!"

Alex looked astonished upon hearing that. It wasn't that common for a student to be transferred in the middle of the year. Doubting the reliability of the rumor, Alex sneered in disdain as he asked again,

"Hey, did I hear that right or what? Don't try to pull one over me, alright?"

Joey waved his hands in denial as he tried to reassure his friend. His larger body frame seemed towering when compared to Alex's lanky figure. Since both of them were usually unpopular guys due to their common looks, they had developed a sort of kinship between the two. Of course, there was another reason why they had become so close.

"No no, it's really real this time. I swear! My brother in the Admin told me about it last night."

Alex looked half-convinced upon being told about the source of the rumor. Since the Admins had most of the information regarding each student, they would often be the first ones informing them of any big changes. Of course, there was a good reason why an Admin would take so much interest in such a matter.

"Oh ho? Then, what should we do about her?"

Joey laughed sadistically with a perverted look on his face. His mind replayed the many times they had dealt with similar students.

"Hehehe... what else but turn her into one of our cum dumps!"

Upon hearing that, Alex became disinterested once again, as he turned his eyes away from Joey and sighed heavily as he spoke,

"Oh please. Not that again. We already have three active ones right now from this year. I am already tired of doing it with them. I want some romance in my life. Some romance, man!"

Alex spoke frustratedly as he recalled the past times that he entangled his body with those three girls. Although all three of them were beauties in their own right and someone that he couldn't dare to pursue normally, they had already been mind-broken and trained to receive the lust of many men.

Unlike the others, Alex was disgusted after doing it with them many times. For him, they had already lost their appeal after happily accepting any dick offered to them regardless of who that person might be.

Although he still couldn't gather his courage to pursue a girl normally, he wanted to be loved and cherished by someone beautiful. The light novels he often read would feature the main characters being loved and treated with care by almost any woman they desired. He too wanted to be in a similar relationship, albeit in a physical relationship manner.

"Heh. Naive. Too naive. There can never be too many cock sleeves for us all. I mean, for there to be just three of them for all thirty of us? I am tired of having sloppy seconds!"

Joey refuted energetically as he tried to argue with facts. Even he didn't enjoy getting his turn after almost twenty-five guys had made a mess out of the girls.

If it wasn't for his insuppressible lust, he would have run away from such a sight as well.

Hearing such high and mighty talk from his friend, Alex decided to tease him a bit as he sarcastically spoke,

"Oh? Then, how about that slut Nihara? Although she was forced to retire, if you are really that desperate for it, she would be ready anytime you ask for it."

A chill went down Joey's spine, as his face turned pale. He vehemently shook his head in refusal and retorted in a loud voice,

"Geh... no, I don't wanna! She gets too darn clingy, you know? Besides, David would go crazy if we dared do anything with her!"

As soon as David was mentioned, Alex lost his playful mood, as he too became quieter and more serious.

"Yeah... it's really weird man. What kind of pleasure does he get by making her an untouchable? That girl can't live without dicks anymore. Isn't it just plain torture to do that to her?"

Joey panicked upon hearing the criticism coming out of his friend's mouth. He hurriedly clamped Alex's mouth shut and whispered into his ears.

"Shh! Quiet down a bit. He wouldn't be bullying her if he had any feelings for her. Who knows what that sadist wants to do with her? Besides, we have those three, right? There is no need for us to stick our necks out for trouble, right?"

At last, Alex realized the severity of his words, as he relaxed his body and replied back in defeat,

"Hah... I get it. I get it already. You really want the new girl to be your personal one, is that it? If so, then what's the plan?"

...

<POV: Carene>

Alright. It's here. Now, no need to overthink. It's all okay.

"AH! Are you... you are Carene, aren't you?"

Wait. Who was that? From behind me...

As I turned around to look, I could see two girls of varying heights staring at me. One of them, the shorter girl had a pleased expression while the taller one's expression was as cold as frigid ice. Both of them would certainly qualify as beauties of different kinds, with the red-haired shorter girl possessing massive bust size, while the purple-haired glasses-wearing taller girl possessed a slim build with a modest pair of breasts.

"Eh? You know me?"

As I deemed it necessary to enquire about their identities first, the shorter girl replied back in a very self-confident manner,

"Of course we do! How can we not know about Celesta's friends? Nice to meet you. I'm Shana. And this one here is Sneha. We are members of the Council. Well, that's just a fancy name for the poor students chosen to cater to the Lazy faculty's needs."

After hearing Shana's words, the taller girl, Sneha stiffly retorted back with a sharp glare,

"Shana! Don't forget that we volunteered for it ourselves. Besides, we receive many perks for it too."

Shana just nonchalantly ignored the taller girl's concerns as she instead began to talk to me further about it,

"Yeah, yeah. As she said, we do get some advantages for the stupid pain. Anyways, we are important people here, at least amongst the students here. How can we not know about someone related to the Head?"

Related to their Head?? I don't remember knowing anyone else that well.

Wait. There is one possibility that rings in my mind. Although I dare not believe it...

"Head?? You mean to say that... Celesta is..?"

Shana smirked happily as she placed her hands on her waist and spoke proudly,

"Yup. She is our Boss, officially. She is more like our friend though and we have received her help many times. Still, it's nice to see you again."

So... they are Celesta's colleagues and workmates.

No good! I have been behaving so rudely towards such important people.

Although I don't care if they belong to that Council or not, since they are Celesta's coworkers... I must treat them with the utmost respect!

"Ah, I see. Sorry, she never told me about that before. And... thank you for always looking after Celesta. She... may not be too expressive, but she is actually a very nice girl. Please continue to be good to her in the future."

I bowed my body slightly, hoping to gain their forgiveness.

If I don't appear sincere right now, then it may result in Celesta being troubled. I cannot possibly risk her workplace becoming cold and strained due to any stupid ego.

"Oh~~? Nice, nice. See? This is how you act when you meet others, got it, Sneha? Don't go provoking whoever you meet in their first meeting. You need to stop that habit of yours already!"

Good. She doesn't appear angry at me. However I can't understand why she said that to the taller girl since she had been very quiet since the beginning. How could she act rude towards me when she hasn't spoken directly to me?

"I-I'm working on it, alright?! Not everyone is as good as you at talking. Besides, other than our Head, who does most of the work, huh?"

To my surprise, The taller girl, Sneha became flustered and retorted with an angry voice.

Huh? So she isn't expressionless all the time? Is that why she is being teased like that?

I have a suspicion that Shana acts so openly to get to see the various expressions of Sneha.

These two look to be close friends, huh? I wonder when Celesta and I could become like them too...

Shana shut her ears to escape the powerful sonic attack directed at her, after which she glanced at Sneha lightly and spoke teasingly,

"Okay, okay. Don't pout that much. No need to turn your beautiful face ugly, alright?"

Contrary to what I expected, Sneha's expression changed wildly once more, although this time she became somewhat meek as she questioned with a red face and expectant eyes,

"B-B-Beautiful?!! You mean... me?"

Towards the super excited yet meek Sneha, Shana responded with a tone similar to before, as if she was speaking something very obvious,

"Of course! Although Carene here is beautiful too... I can't really tease her as well. I don't want to anyhow provoke the sleeping lioness in our Council."

She considers me beautiful? Hey... why am I not so happy about that?

I should be glad that someone likes my physical body, right? Rather, I should be even proud at it. But, this empty feeling... just what is this?

If it was Isla, Sis Lin... or Celesta though...

Oh! My heart reacted immediately! So it has something to do with the people I care about, huh?

"B-But... I..."

Still, it was very hard for me to accept such flattery normally.

In reality, I haven't been praised like this much before. It's still very new to be treated like this.

On the other hand, I must get used to it now. Anyhow I see it, I am a woman now. It's normal to be praised casually in normal talk. Unlike when I was a man... nobody gave two hoots if I dressed up or not.

It all changed after becoming a girl. Getting closer to Celesta, getting together with Isla, reuniting with Sis Lin, my friendship with Jorah... so many things happened after I gained the identity of a girl. I don't regret becoming a girl at all.

Rather, I wish I was born like this instead! Of course... with a dick included. Don't want to lose that one.

...

Despite having treated everyone so familiarly, Shana smiled refreshingly at me as she extended her hand for a handshake.

"So, Carene. Remember to contact us if you encounter any trouble. We will beat up the bad ones, alright?!"

It's the proper manner to not let her hand keep hanging like that, hence I too lightly grabbed her hand in a handshake.

She looks like a kind girl. Celesta too likes her... probably.

No! Why am I feeling so jealous of her?! There is no way that I would ever join the Council just to be around Celesta all day, right?!

It sounds like very bad unpaid part-time work. My dick absolutely protests any such behavior!

I must not forget that my goal to come here is to find some sex friends for myself. Although that sounds like a very shitty and outright dastardly objective... it is the one I honestly want right now.

Also... If I stay around Celesta all day, my feelings may mutate into something else. I may even possibly lose sight of my promise to her!

Carene... we can only be friends! There is nothing more to it!!

Quickly let go of these stupid hopes. Focus on pleasing your dick instead...
