Boiling Water

The boiling water was ready, and they put it on the thermos.

Each of them brought a thermos before they walked toward the female area.

While it wasn't his first time entering a female area, it was his first time entering so openly. Yet this was normal since the consequence of entering such a place when one was a male was expulsion.

If a male dared to enter the female area without permission, they would be kicked out from Sakurasou without hesitation.

This was also why Sunoharasou was quite a bliss. Even if Aki entered the girls' area in this dorm, he would be okay. Unfortunately, such a day was no longer for him.

Leaving Aki aside, he entered the line, which divided the main area and the female area. The corridor was dark since it was night, and the light was rather dim.

"Don't you want to change the lamp?"

Even if the cost to rent this dorm was cheap, he felt that the Sakurasou was quite stingy. Yet what could he say? The rent in this dorm was so cheap that one wouldn't believe it was located in the center of the city.

Still, he had to say the protection in the female area was very comprehensive. He could see a taser, a wooden sword, a metal bat, pepper spray, and many others. If a pervert dared to come, they might not be able to leave alive.

Well, there was also one pervert in this dorm, and he lived well.

Unfortunately, that pervert wasn't present during this crisis.

"We can change it later. Go and take out the centipede first!" Chihiro said urgently while thinking it might be better to change the lamps soon.

"Okay." He nodded. "It's in Ritsu-senpai's room, right?"

"Wait! Wait! Check my room first!" Mayumi quickly said.

"Your room?"

"Yeah, it's over there."

Mayumi led everyone to her room and opened the door. "Please check whether there is one or not inside." She still held his jacket tightly, showing a girl-like feminity.

Yet...

"....."

Shishio, Ritsu, and Chihiro were silent for a while, and no one said anything.

"Should we go to Ritsu-senpai's room now?" Shishio asked.

"Okay." 2x

Ritsu and Chihiro agreed.

"Wait! Wait! Why did you ignore my room like that?! Ah, I see! Did the bra on the left side of the table catch your eye? You were shy, right? Did it get hard again?" The disappointment on his face couldn't be hidden, making Mayumi quite desperate as she tried to explain his expression based on her convenience.

After all, how could she accept such a dark truth where this guy didn't even see her as a woman?!

"....Mayumi-san." He looked at Mayumi with a pitiful expression. He felt slightly sorry for her, so he nodded. "Yes, that bra caught my eye, so should we do it now, Mayumi-san? It will be terrible to leave the centipede in Ritsu-senpai's room." He gently patted Mayumi's shoulder, telling her that her room was amazing.

While his words were slightly perverted, neither Ritsu nor Chihiro said anything. Instead, similar to him, they felt sorry for Mayumi. They felt this woman was almost expired, like a half-price bento in the supermarket late at night. If no one took her, she would be thrown out, showing how cruel an age was toward a woman.

Even if Mayumi might be a beautiful girl sought after by many guys in the past, when she reached this age, it was so damn hard for her to find someone who could date her with the intention of marrying.

Yet even Shishio had to say it was hard for someone to marry a woman like Mayumi, especially when one saw her room.

Her room was like someone's house after being ravaged by a storm. It was so messy and dirty. There were many dirty clothes scattered everywhere on the table, the ground, and even the bed. The sweet scent from her room didn't come from her perfume. Instead, the sweet pastries she often ate. It was a horrible place that one wouldn't think was a woman's room.

Usually, when one entered the woman's room, they would think it was a place filled with a dream, bringing happiness and everything.

Yet when one saw this place, it was simply a nightmare. There was no dream or happiness.

It's only a cruel reality that sometimes a woman's room is even messier than a man's room.

"Wh-What's with that expression?! Don't look down on me, bastard?! Don't pity me like that! I will show you my charm now! Should I show you my boobs? Let me show you that I don't lack a womanly charm!"

How could Mayumi accept such a perfunctory response?

If she couldn't make him have an erection on his penis, she was afraid that her pride as a woman would be damaged!

"You like my bra, right? Here! You can have it!"

She pushed her used light-colored bra to Shishio, telling him to have it in desperation.

However, his expression was calm. He was as calm as a Buddha. There was no lust or fluctuation in his emotions. He had reached enlightenment and wouldn't be moved by a mere worldly object. "Thank you, but I am a man. I don't need such a thing."

"Just have it! You can have this!"

Mayumi even became more desperate.

"Mayumi, please stop!"

"Mayumi-san..."

Chihiro and Ritsu couldn't watch this situation anymore. They hugged Mayumi at the same time while weeping since the fate of this woman was too miserable!

"I-I will definitely make you have an erection!"

Mayumi couldn't control her tears, crying since she felt her pride as a woman was challenged.

"....."

"...should we go to Ritsu-senpai's room?" Shisho asked since he had to say this drama was quite exaggerated. Yet, at this moment, he realized that even though some women were beautiful, they were just too disappointing.

"UWAAAAA!!"

Mayumi cried on the ground, but even so, their adversary wouldn't stop.

The four of them walked into Ritsu's room and entered it.

Unlike the dim light of the corridor, Ritsu's room was bright. One could see clearly what her room was, yet it was hard to say that it was a girl's room. Instead, he felt like he was in the library or a bookstore.

The design of her room was relatively simple. There were two large bookshelves, enough to reach the ceiling, a single bed, a wardrobe, and a table with a computer on top. Besides that, all they could see was a sea of books.

There were only books in her room.

"This isn't a girl's room," Mayumi said with a pout.

"That's true." Chihiro nodded.

"Zip it!" Ritsu pouted.

However, Shishio didn't say anything about whether Mayumi, Chihiro, or Ritsu either of them had a normal room.

Mayumi's room aside, Chihiro's room wasn't that much different from Mayumi's since her room was like a bachelor room with many cans of beer and cigarettes. Naturally, it surprised him that Chihiro could comment on Mayumi's room with such a straight face. However, the number of cigarettes that she sucked had decreased. Instead, there were more and more cans of beer in her room.

Shishio knew that this was how an adult released the constraint and stress on their body.

Also, instead of thinking about their room, he needed to find the centipede.

He observed Ritsu's room.

It was his first time coming here, and he had to say it was like a guy's room for some reason.

"Where's the centipede?"

"It's over there."

Ritsu pointed at the book lying on her bed, closed tightly.

"Okay."

He nodded and moved forward. His steps were unwavering, and there was no hesitation. He held his chopsticks and was ready to catch the centipede anytime.

They were in awe of his guts, but they were startled when they saw him open the book.

"There's no centipede here."

"Huh?!" 3x

He saw nothing in the book, and there was no centipede or anything in this place. He looked around, and he saw the centipede in an unexpected place.

"Wh-Why are you looking this way?"

They started to get nervous when they saw Shishio looking in their direction.

"Senpai, calm down. Don't move. I will take care of it now."

He saw the centipede creep on the back of the t-shirt. While he tried to calm her down, it was different for Chihiro and Mayumi, who panicked when they saw the centipede on Ritsu's back.

"UWAAAAAAA!!!" 2x

"Get it off for me! Get it off for me!"

Ritsu couldn't tell what was right or wrong. She opened the lid of her thermos and was about to pour it on the centipede, panicked, but if she did this, the hot water might hit her.

"Senpai, calm down!"

However, she couldn't hear anything since she was covered by fear. She raised her thermos and was about to pour the hot water randomly, hoping it would hit the centipede. Yet she didn't realize if this was done, it would be her who would be hurt by the hot water.

Chihiro and Mayumi had already retreated in fear.

"Senpai!"

Shishio hugged Ritsu to calm her, pulling the centipede with his bare hand and putting it in the plastic bag in one go. However, his arm was poured into the hot water. It was hot, but he didn't flinch since the pain was nothing.

"Senpai, calm down. Everything is okay. I have caught the centipede."

In his arms, Ritsu kept hugging him and asked in a frightened manner. "Really?"

"You can see it here."

Ritsu looked at the plastic bag in his hand and saw that there was a centipede wriggling there.

"So don't worry, alright?"

The fear in her mind and heart was swept away, but she was embarrassed and shy. Yet when she saw his reddened arm, she realized what she had done.

"Okay, I will take it outside and throw it in the trash."

Mayumi and Chihiro sighed in relief when everything was okay, but before he was about to walk out of her room, Ritsu stopped him and said, "Wait, let me take care of that arm." She felt guilty for what she had done and wanted to take care of him.

Suddenly, she realized that she had done many stupid things that hurt him. On that riverside where she made his nose bleed, and when they were running, he had to carry her, and now she also accidentally poured him with hot water. The thought that he might hate her appeared, and it scared her.

Still...

"Can you do that after I take this off outside?"
