Chapter 8: Ichinose Minami Is In Trouble
"What do you plan to do with those?" Chinatsu asked from behind me as she began putting her clothes back on. The way she pulled up her short skirt and zipped it up seemed rather provocative, and I felt my penis getting hard again just from the sight. My gaze shifted to Natsumi, who was still in the process of putting on her bra. Both of them possessed stunning bodies that could easily pass for supermodels. The fact that they were also incredibly beautiful never failed to amaze me. And to think that both these gorgeous girls were my girlfriends...
Chinatsu posed the question while eyeing the condoms I had tied up to prevent any spilled semen.
"These?" I hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Well, I'm thinking of keeping them as a sort of memento."
"What? Why?" Natsumi chimed in as she slid her skirt back up her legs.
"Because these are the condoms we used for the first time. I overheard a classmate mention that he saved the condom from his first time with his girlfriend as a keepsake. He mentioned that the first time is a special memory that deserves a memento...or something along those lines."
"Really? But keeping condoms as mementos..." Natsumi raised an eyebrow, still adjusting her attire.
"Yeah, it does sound a bit strange. That guy who said that is definitely a bit peculiar," Chinatsu added, a hint of disbelief in her voice.
Yeah, he was definitely quite peculiar...
"In any case, I'm keeping these as a reminder of my first times with both my girlfriends," I explained.
They simply shrugged in response, as if to convey that it was entirely up to me what I chose to do.

As we left the room and headed down to the lobby, I could feel the cashier's curious gaze following us. She probably had a pretty good idea of what had unfolded between the three of us. Both Chinatsu and Natsumi were walking with a slightly bowlegged gait, which was a clear giveaway.
Then, we encountered a couple entering the elevator, and their reactions were priceless. The man's jaw practically dropped as he glanced between the two girls on either side of me, while the woman seemed to be giving me an incredulous look.
I'm no heartthrob, so maybe she was taken aback by the fact that an ordinary-looking guy like me had not one, but two attractive companions.
Once we left the motel, we made our way to the train station and began discussing inconsequential matters that didn't involve the events of the past few hours. It made sense—we didn't want to draw any unnecessary attention or suspicion from anyone within earshot.
After a two-hour journey, we finally arrived back home. Once I got into bed, exhaustion took over, and I fell asleep almost instantly.

[Ichinose Minami's POV]
"Uuuu, I'm so sleepy. I pulled an all-nighter studying for a test tomorrow," my co-worker, Morifuji Saya-san, groaned, stretching her arms and arching her back. She was currently in her first year of college, and she worked here to support herself since her hometown was quite a distance from her school. I couldn't help but be impressed by her ability to juggle both work and studies. Meanwhile, I found it challenging to keep up with my own studies lately due to my modeling commitments. At least I have fewer modeling gigs now that I'm not as famous anymore...
In any case... at the same time, huh?
Today, I ran into some classmates: a boy and two girls. The boy's name was Kurogane Tsubasa-kun, and the girls accompanying him were Morikawa Chinatsu-san and Matsushita Natsumi-san. We're not particularly close, but I've heard that the three of them have been friends since childhood.
What caught me off guard was seeing Kurogane-kun buying condoms... Why would he need condoms? Well, what else could it be for? He must be planning to have sex. But with whom? Most likely one of those two girls, right? However, as that thought crossed my mind, an incredibly weird feeling washed over me. It was a bizarre idea. Could he possibly be planning to have sex with both of them? At the same time?!
W-Wait?! Is that even allowed?!
I knew they were close, but I never imagined they were that close!
W-Wait? If they're really planning that... does that mean he's dating both of them... and they're okay with it?!
"Minami-chan? Are you alright? You've been staring outside for a while now."
"Huh? Oh. Yeah, I'm fine."
Had I been lost in thought for too long? It's not every day you witness your classmates buying condoms in the store where you work. I had watched them as they left the convenience store, but of course, being on the job, I couldn't actually follow them.
I let out a sigh. Even though I had no interest in romantic matters, I couldn't help but be a bit curious about the dynamics between those three.
"Hey, could you be having a fight with your boyfriend?"
I wasn't sure how Morifuji-san came to that conclusion.
"I don't have a boyfriend," I replied.
"Seriously? With how cute you are, I would have thought you've had a few boyfriends before."
"I hardly have any free time to entertain that idea, to be honest."
That's right. Dating someone isn't on my agenda right now. I'd rather focus on securing my future before even considering that. If I need to, I can find a guy easily when I'm ready. After all, I'm cute and I'll only become more attractive as I grow older.
I'm just eighteen this year, and I have plenty of time ahead to achieve success. Having a boyfriend isn't a priority.
That's why...
My phone suddenly rang, indicating a new text message. I retrieved it from my pocket and unlocked the screen to read the message.
[What time does your shift end? I'll come pick you up.]
I felt a shiver run down my spine. It was that guy from a different class who had been bombarding me with messages. I barely knew him, except for the fact that he seemed like a troublemaker, always ready to pick fights and use violence to resolve conflicts.
I didn't want any part of this. I had no idea what he wanted from me, and I wasn't interested in finding out. I don't need this. So, without hesitation, I deleted the message.
I'm going to put an end to this nonsense. And to do that, I'll do whatever it takes.
