Once we arrived at the dorm, I looked at a sign near the entrance that read “Ikyoto Hall. (Ikyo for short.)” I was getting sick of calling it the “dorm,” so I was gd this pce actually had a name. We then walked in, and I immediately gasped. In front of me were three girls. All half-naked. Ok, well only one of them was; the other two were wearing cute pajamas and the school uniform, respectively. I knew if I didn’t calm down, they might suspect something, so I gathered my wits and tried to appear nonchant. Luckily, no one noticed except for Reika, who gnced at me for a second. Unluckily, the girls saw me and walked over to me.

  The girl wearing pajamas walked over to me. She was pretty short and had really cute, curly brown hair. I thought I kind of recognized her, but I wasn’t sure. Once she reached me, she stopped and hesitated before speaking.

  “H-hwelo.”

  Did I hear that right?

  “Hello.” I decided to pretend I didn’t notice.

  The girl looked like she was struggling to speak, but she managed to muster up some courage and said, “Y-you’re Hiranishi-san, r-right?” She looked at me questioningly. That's when it hit me.

  “Yes, that's me, and you’re Hazumi-san, right?”

  “Y-you remwember my mwame!?”

  She must’ve been really surprised, as she said something almost incoherent.

  “Uh, yeah, you sit behind me, don’t you? And weren’t you staring at me during css?” I don’t know all my cssmates’ names, but I memorized hers since she had been staring at me the whole time.

  “O-oh, well, um, s-sorry about that. It's just that… I-I wanted to talk to you. B-but you were talking to Amane-chan and Reika-chan, and I didn’t want to interrupt,” she said, all in one breath.

  “Oh. So what did you want to talk to me about?” I asked.

  Just as she was about to respond, the two other girls arrived.

  “Man, you walk fast,” said the girl who was half-naked.

  How many times am I going to say this? The girls at this school were stunning. The half-naked one that had just spoken was quite tall for a girl and had a muscur but slim build. She had a tough but beautiful-looking face, with short green hair falling just short of her ears.

  The other girl was just as beautiful. She wasn’t as tall as the other girl, but she was still quite tall. She had amazing milkers—that is to say, boobs. Look, I don’t know what else to say when I see them! They weren’t mega huge or anything, but they fit her so well it was hard not to have my eyes wander there. Her boobs weren’t all she had going for her, though, as she of course had an amazing figure. Her hair was a beautiful dark purple. She looked so beautiful and elegant I thought she might come from a noble family or something.

  Honestly, if girls of this caliber keep on appearing, my sense of beauty might get distorted.

  As I was thinking, the half-naked girl turned to me.

  “You the transfer student?” she asked.

  “Uh, yeah,” I answered somewhat nervously.

  “So, whatcha doin' here?” she asked.

  “Oh, I moved in today.”

  This seemed to also surprise her, as her eyes went wide.

  “Whoa, really?? You must be hel talented to move in here on your first day!”

  I was somewhat confused. Reika had said something simir too.

  “Well, it's nice ta meetcha. My name's Kazura.”

  “Oh, it's nice to meet you too. My name is Hiranishi…... By the way, what do you mean by me having to be really talented to move here?”

  “Hmm? Ya don’t know? Only the students that have accomplished somethin’ crazy cool can move inta Ikyo.”

  That was the first I’d heard of that. Why would they put me here? Now I’m just going to attract even more attention.

  “Really? Wow, I didn’t know about that.”

  “Yup. So whatcha do to get in here?”

  Crap, what do I say?

  “U-uh, well, I don’t really know.”

  “Oh c'mon, you can tell me.”

  Kazura seemed to think I was lying. I was at a loss as to what to say, but luckily the girl in the school uniform, who had been silent this whole time, spoke up at that moment.

  “Niki, it might be something she can’t say. Let her keep her secrets. We’ll find out soon enough.”

  I don’t know if it was my imagination, but I could have sworn that for a second she had a really scary look on her face.

  “Heh, fine,” Kazura relented.

  The girl then turned to me.

  “My name is Arano Sana.”

  Even the way she spoke was very dignified and had an air of superiority to it.

  “T-thank you,” I said, bowing slightly without even meaning to.

  “It’s fine. Have you already looked around the building?”

  “Um, yes, I did this morning.”

  “Oh, I see.”

  “TCH—That was my chance.”

  I thought I heard her say something, but it was probably my imagination.

  “You’re a third year, right?” I asked, wondering if she was older than me.

  “Yes, I am. Niki is as well.”

  Just as I thought—they both looked a little older than me, but I wasn’t entirely sure.

  Arano-senpai then looked at the time.

  “It's gotten quite te, hasn’t it? You must be tired after your first day.”

  She was right. It had gotten pretty te, and I was feeling pretty tired. I said bye to them and headed upstairs toward my room.

  On the way, I felt like I was forgetting something, but I brushed it off as just being tired.

  Sadly, I didn’t reach my room, as once I got upstairs, a door opened, and someone's hand reached out of it and grabbed me, pulling me in.

  ???

  “You’re a guy, aren’t you?” Those were the first words I heard when I got in the room.

  “U-uh, n-no, w-what are y-you talking about?!” It caught me so off guard I got really flustered.

  After a moment, I calmed down and looked up at who had spoken. It was Amane.

  How does she know?! My first day here and I’m already caught!

  “It's no use hiding it from me. I can smell it.”

  What? Do I smell really badly or something???

  Amane continued. “I was sure you were a man the moment you walked past me. The smell was so intoxicating I almost fainted.”

  “Um, do I really smell that bad?” I was really scared that everyone else could also smell me but just didn’t say anything.

  Amane put on a really lecherous smile and said, “No, only I can tell. I haven’t spent my life smelling men and everything they use to not notice you!”

  What did she just say?

  “Uhh, I don’t think I heard you correctly. Can you say that again?”

  “I said I haven’t spent my life smelling men to not notice you.”

  What the hell?!? She's a massive pervert!

  “Well, what are you gonna do? You know my secret now,” I said, resigned to my fate.

  “I’m not going to do anything.”

  Wait, really?! Wow, I can't believe my luck!

  “If you do as I say.”

  There it is. Sigh. Of course I’m not that lucky.

  “What do you mean by that?” I asked apprehensively.

  “Well, I’ve never actually done anything with a man before, so you're going to be my test subject.”

  I really did not like where this was going.

  “U-um, is th-there any chance I can d-do something else?” I asked, scared for my life.

  Amane furrowed her eyebrows as if she was thinking deeply about it. She then unfurrowed them and said, “Nope,” with a lecherous grin.

  I was seriously screwed.

  “Well, let's start, shall we?” she said as she quickly stood up and pinned me against the wall. She then leaned into my neck and took a deep sniff.

  “Ahhh, that smells wonderful. Gehehehehe.”

  I tried to resist, but she had a tight hold on me. She then started to take off my shirt, but just before she got it fully off, her door suddenly opened.

  Najami was standing there. She looked really mad as she walked up to us.

  “Amane, what the hell do you think you’re doing?”

  Hearing this, Amane looked up at her and said, “Pying with Hiranishi-kun.” She emphasized the st part.

  With her attention diverted, I was able to get away from her. Because she was leaning against me when I got away, she fell forward, bonking her head on the wall.

  “H-heyyy,” she said, looking at me.

  Najami, looking even madder, turned to me. “The first day you’re here and you’ve already been found out.”

  “N-no, it wasn’t my fault! This girl is just crazy! She found me out by smelling me!”

  Najami frowned. “So you’re saying she found you out because you smelt so bad she could tell you were a guy?”

  “Yes! Wait—no! I don’t smell bad, she just has a crazy sense of smell.”

  Amane, holding her hands against her forehead, ughed. “Yes, I do have a crazy sense of smell—for men, that is.”

  Najami tilted her head. “Did you really just say that?”

  Amane, still ughing, looked at Najami and said, “Yes.”

  Najami showed a look of disgust before sighing and saying, “Listen, Amane, if you promise not to tell anyone about this, I’ll help you out with anything you need one time.”

  “Wait, Najami, don’t do that. It’s my fault she found out.”

  Najami looked at me. “Tako, it’s fine. If you get caught here, your life may very well be over.”

  “But…..” I said weakly.

  Amane looked up at Najami and, with shining eyes, said, “Anything?”

  “I can’t believe that worked out so well.” Najami and I were in my room right now. Turns out Amane really needed someone who was good at hacking to open up a network to allow her to get certain products, and Najami was the perfect person for the job.

  “Sigh, you’re really lucky nothing worse happened, Tako.” Najami was sitting on my bed next to me. After she finished helping out Amane, we went to my room.

  “Yeah, if you hadn’t come when you did, I don’t even know what would have happened.”

  “Yeah, it’s all thanks to your wonderful childhood friend that you’re fine!” she said rather pompously.

  “Well, whatever. What’s done is done. But there still is a big problem.”

  “Hmm? What?”

  Najami looked at me like I was an idiot and said, “She still knows that you’re a guy. She may have made that promise with me, but there's no telling whether she won't break that promise. If she ever needs something again, she might use that as leverage.”

  “Oh crap! You’re right! I didn’t even think of that! Najami, you really are amazing! I don’t know what I’d do without you!”

  “I-it's not a big deal. Only an idiot wouldn’t realize that.” Najami said, looking a little red.

  “Hey! I’m sorry I’m an idiot, okay?”

  Najami ughed a little and softly said, “I’m used to it by this point.”

  Suddenly, I realized how close we were sitting, and I started to feel self-conscious.

  “A-anyways, you should head to bed now. It's getting pretty te,” I said as I stood up and proceeded to trip over nothing onto the floor.

  Najami, seeing me trip, tried to grab me but ended up falling with me.

  S-she’s so close! I don’t know how, but I ended up in a pretty bad position on top of her. Seeing her so close to me, I realized just how cute she was. She’s only a little shorter than me and has medium-length violet hair. Her eyes were a deep shade of purple and she had a small, rounded face.

  “C-could you get off me, please?” Najami asked.

  “S-sorry,” I said, jumping off of her.

  “I-it's fine. I’m gonna go now,” Najami said and immediately left the room.

  “S-see you tomorrow,” I called out to her.

  Once she was gone, I id down on my bed and realized just how badly I messed up. On my first day at this school, I’d already gotten found out by someone, and if it wasn't for Najami, I’d be screwed. If it continued like this, I wouldn’t st the week.

  With these thoughts in my head, I eventually drifted off to sleep.
