Regarding the Matter of Beautiful Girls Relentlessly Seeking My Body (Experience Points)
“After I helped her when she was being groped, she suddenly fainted.”
“Yes. I don’t know the reason, though.”
“Maybe she felt relieved and her blood pressure dropped? Are you acquainted with this girl?”
After that, I brought the girl who had fainted to the station’s first aid room. The kind-looking station staff gave me a look that was half gratitude and half suspicion.
“Um, well, I guess you could say we’re not exactly strangers…”
As I hesitated, the station staff gave me a suspicious look.
“…You didn’t do anything to her, did you?”
“No, no, I didn’t!! I just live next door to her in the apartment building, and we’ve seen each other around, that’s all!!”
I hurriedly tried to explain, but the station staff’s suspicious gaze didn’t waver.
“…Uh, I’m not really that close to her, so can I go now?”
“…No, she should wake up soon, so stay until then.”
“Uh, okay.”
It seemed like they weren’t going to let me leave until the girl woke up and proved my innocence. An awkward atmosphere filled the first aid room, but fortunately, the girl soon regained consciousness.
“Ugh… hmm…”
“Are you awake? Are you okay? Does anything hurt?”
“Huh? Why am I…”
The girl woke up and sat up. As she did, her hood fell back, revealing her face. She had long black hair with bright pink highlights underneath, almond-shaped eyes, and a wide mouth.
Despite her timid demeanor, she was quite pretty.
When she looked at me with those big eyes, her expression turned fearful.
“Eek…”
“W-wait, hold on! Hey, I just saved you from a groper, right? Right?!”
Seeing the girl’s reaction, which could easily be misinterpreted, the station staff stepped between us, shielding her.
“Calm down! Calm down and try to remember! Okay?!”
“…Ah, um. Yeah. I think that person helped me.”
“See! You heard it, right, station staff?! I saved her from a groper!”
“He helped me, and then, um… ah♡”
Perhaps remembering the moment she touched my hand, she gently touched the hand that had made contact with me, as if it were an injured area.
“What happened after that? It’s okay, you can tell us.”
The station staff asked gently, as if providing mental care.
The girl thought for a moment, then looked at me. When I desperately shook my head, hoping she wouldn’t say anything unnecessary, it seemed she understood, and she also shook her head.
“Mmm, no, he just helped me. The groper was a middle-aged, bald, fat guy.”
“…Is that so? Well, if that’s the case, then it’s fine. Just to be safe, can you tell me your name and age? You too, young man.”
“Okumura Aina. 16 years old.”
“I’m Murayoshi Tatsuya, 17 years old.”
“Okumura-san and Murayoshi-kun, right? Okumura-san, do you want to file a report with the police?”
At the station staff’s question, Okumura-san shook her head.
“No. It’s fine. They probably won’t catch him anyway. It’s too much trouble.”
“…I see. It’s not my place to tell the victim what to do, but try to stay away from suspicious people, okay?”
“Yeah, I’ll be careful.”
“Murayoshi-kun, sorry for doubting you. You said you’re neighbors, right? If you don’t mind, could you take her home? She must be feeling vulnerable after what happened.”
“Neighbors…?”
At the word “neighbors,” Okumura-san gave me a puzzled look. She stared at my face intently, then suddenly exclaimed as if she had realized something.
“Ah, the guy who’s good at being perverted.”
What did she just say?
“Um… Okumura-san? Wh-what are you talking about? I think this is the first time we’ve properly talked…”
“You bring cute girls into your room and make them scream every day.”
“Whaaaaat!? No, well, it’s true, but the way you say it!”
“I hear the noises every night, and it’s annoying.”
“Hey…! You’re the one who’s always going ‘nya-nya’ every night! Just last night, it was ‘nya-nya-nya-nya’ past midnight!”
“…Nya!? Y-y-you heard that!? You pervert! Forget about it!”
“Alright, that’s enough. I can’t get involved in disputes between neighbors. If you have complaints, take them up with your landlord.”
Seeing us argue, the station attendant seemed to decide there was no real issue and shooed us out of the first-aid room.
The petite girl looked up at me and murmured softly.
“…Then, walk me home.”
“Seriously? Do you even need me to?”
She seemed completely fine just moments ago… But when I looked closer, I noticed her shoulders trembling slightly.
I might not fully understand, but being groped must be a terrifying experience.
I let out a small sigh and slowly started walking toward home.
