"I mean, I am sorry!"
The reality was different from the fiction.
Nifuji knew that, unlike what others imagined, if a perverted situation that happened in an ecchi manga happened, his life was as good as over, especially if the women pursued this problem as a sexual harassment case.
While he couldn't deny that many women were as bad as trash, some women were simply beyond saving, as many of them wished to bring torment to many men, such as making false accusations that would lead to social death, which often led them to lose their jobs and lose their dignity.
It might be weird, but in this country, dignity was more important than life.
Still, no matter what, he didn't want everything to be over due to this silly mistake.
Only—
"Geez, don't be so scared. Do you think I am that stupid heroine on the anime that will scream, then slap the main character?"
"...you won't?"
"I won't!" Koyanagi was helpless with his reaction, and calmly explained to him. "It was my mistake, so you don't have to worry."
After all, it was she who took the initiative to show her photo albums, and it was also her fault that she had forgotten that she had taken a nude selfie.
Anyway, it was just a photo, so she didn't lose much, and frankly, she didn't really mind if he was the one who saw it.
"....."
Yet, Nifuji was in a daze as he had never expected such an answer; for a woman to acknowledge their mistake, it was probably as rare as the existence of youkai in this country.
It didn't mean that it didn't exist, but in many cases, even men had a hard time admitting their mistakes and would often play the fool, even though a simple apology or thank you would have been enough to avoid mention.
Then again, there are some small-minded people who always remember a petty problem, so sometimes, it is better to be careful.
"But... what do you think?"
"...what do you mean?"
Nifuji thought that this conversation would be over, yet unexpectedly, Koyanagi started another round of dangerous conversation.
"...do you like it?"
"....."
As she asked that question, her eyes turned red, yet her eyes were still staring at him with a certain excitement, which he didn't understand.
"Well..."
He hesitated for a while, but when he thought of her lewd body, which she took in her selfie, his lips trembled for a while before he nodded.
"What is it? Be clear."
"...you are beautiful, Koyanagi-san."
"I see! I see! I see!"
While Koyanagi was shy, the burst of excitement that came from his sincere praise made her feel like she had awoken something.
"...don't tease me, okay? You shouldn't ask me such a question."
"But you like it, right?"
"..." Nifuji.
As she bit her lower lip, she moved closer and blew hot air on his ear, which gave him a shiver down his spine. "Nifuji, do you want to see more?"
"No!"
"...." Koyanagi.
"I have a girlfriend, Koyanagi-san. This isn't good."
Damn, he just had two girlfriends and took the virginity of two women last night.
Or rather, as he thought that he would protect the two, all of a sudden, another woman came to attack him.
Yet, while he didn't fully reject Koyanagi, he also didn't think to get close to her, especially when she had a boyfriend, and he also knew that boyfriend of hers well. Even if he could tell that their relationship wasn't good, and it was also the right time for someone to make an attack, it was definitely far from being appropriate!
However, it seemed that Koyanagi didn't listen to him.
"But, it's not fair!"
"...what do you mean that it isn't fair?"
"You have seen mine, right?"
"Then?"
It was just his feelings, but he knew that he shouldn't continue since he knew what Koyanagi was about to say was definitely far from good!
"Then, can you let me see yours?"
"..." Nifuji.
"Or... if you don't want to—"
"Stop! Stop! Don't act like those weird uncles in hentai manga!"
"I am not an uncle! Also, shouldn't you be excited to have your erection be seen by a beautiful woman like me?!"
"Shh! Shh! Shh!"
As Koyanagi raised her voice, Nifuji grew in panic since this was a public place!
"Watch what you are saying, Koyanagi-san!"
"I don't care! Anyway, unlike you, I don't mind being fired off!"
"..." Nifuji.
What should he do in this situation?
The best way to handle this situation was just to let her see his erection, as he had nothing to lose anyway.
Dignity?
As he had entered the sales department and tried to raise his position within the company, he had long thrown it away!
For his goal, sometimes, he even dared to be cruel to his body, stayed up all night to accompany the clients to drink, and took care of them till the end.
Still, if he let Koyanagi do as she wished, he was afraid that she might take advantage of him again in the future, so to prevent that, he needed to make her pay a certain price.
"So...?"
"...okay."
"Good!"
"But!"
"But?"
"If I show you that, can you take responsibility for it?"
"R-Responsibility?"
As her face grew red, Nifuji knew that he was at a disadvantage. "I don't ask for much. Just use your hand to calm it down later. If you don't mind that, then... I..."
"Okay!"
"....." Nifuji.
"I don't mind." Koyanagi looked at his expression that had become dumbfounded with a grin. "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that, Nifuji-kun? Are you scared, Virgin-kun~?"
"....."
"...you sure?"
"Yes, I am sure." Koyanagi looked at him with a smile. "Are you chicken out now? It's just hands anyway, or should we go now? We can go to the toilet now."
"No, the office is too dangerous. I don't want a weird rumor to happen between us."
"Then, how about we go to the net cafe?"
"Net cafe?"
"Yup, it's cheaper than a hotel."
"Well..."
"It's been decided! We will go to the net cafe later! You can't go back on your words!"
Koyanagi didn't let him refute and quickly left, but then, she returned and asked, "Give me your email and LINE!"
"....." Nifuji.
Was he a pushover?
Or was he just being smart, as he knew that he had nothing to lose?
Yet, as he looked at his smartphone that started to be bombarded by chats from Koyanagi, he took a deep breath, and wondered what he should say to refuse all of this, but he calmed himself and thought of using Eri and Mayuri as an excuse to stop this strange appointment until he saw a notification on the group chat, which was created by him, Eri and Mayuri.
Mayuri: "Huwaaaa, I have another overtime! (A rabbit rolls on the ground while crying. Sticker).
Eri: "...when are you going home?"
Mayuri: "I should go home after nine..."
Eri: "...what unreasonable working hours."
Mayuri: "I am sorry! Please don't wait for me! I am going to be late, Nifuji-kun!"
"...." Nifuji.
