Shameless Games 7 – Chapter 4: Rotted Morals, Distorted Emotions


「Ryougo, did something happen between you and Mio?」

I almost dropped my croquette bread because of what Ayato said.

I looked around in a hurry. It seems like nobody heard the unsettling question as the classroom during lunchbreak is filled with noise.

「What are you talking about?」

「Oh? Seems like I was on the mark」

Ayato grinned. It seems like he made the guess based on my agitation.

「Did you make a move?」

「No, that’s no tit…」

「Then, what is it? tell me?」

As if I can. Yesterday afternoon, Mio saw the scene where I was playing a guessing game of the color of Fuyutsuki’s panties in the morals committee room.

「I mean, how can you tell?」

「Well, just a feeling?」

Right… This guy is good at reading the room.

「Well, if you ask me, both of you look gloomy」

「You saw Mio too?」

「Yeah. She went to the restroom earlier. She’s got that usual bright face, but the mood feels a little depressed?」

I knew it, Mio seems to be concerned about yesterday.

Of course she is.

Mio’s definitely hurt by that.

After that incident.

Mio quietly smiled and left the morals committee room.

I chased after her in a hurry, but I didn’t find her. I messaged her on LIME, but she left it unread, and she won’t answer my calls either.

It seems like she went to school normally today, but I haven’t met her yet

「I hurt Mio…」

「Hmm, how?」

「I can’t say it, but it was a misunderstanding, and it was a shock to Mio」

I sighed, then Ayato lets out a deeper sigh.

「If that’s the case, stop talking vaguely and resolve the misunderstanding already」

「Huh?」

Ayato’s staring at me with an unusually serious gaze.

「If you hurt the girl you like, then that’s what should you do. Am I wrong?」

「You’re not, but…」

Look at the mirror and say that.

You cheated, she cheated on you too, then as revenge, you boasted that you had three women during golden week. I don’t want to hear that from you.

Seriously, what kind of mouth you have to say “That’s what you should do”

「Go! Now!」

「Yeah, I get it」

There were parts of what Ayato said that I didn’t agree with, but he was right.

And so, I reluctantly got up my seat.

† † †

Mio’s in 2-A class. I went but Mio wasn’t there. Instead, her friend told me that Mio’s in the chapel.

I headed to the chapel at the end of the school building and opened the heavy door.

The light streaming through the stained glass window pours into the podium.

In the center of that lightーMio’s kneeling, clasping her hands, and prayed. Her back, enveloped in light, is so beautiful and divine, it make me hesitate to approach her.

However, I couldn’t stay.

「Mio」

I called her and Mio didn’t turn around.

However, she tilts her face, she’s aware that I’m here

Feeling saved by the gesture, I took a deep breath.

「Sorry about yesterday. But could you listen to me?」

Mio remained silent, it didn’t seem like rejection.

「There’s nothing between Fuyutsuki and me. That was her strange test to check my qualifications as the head of the morals committee」

I said it, but I’m losing sympathy for myself.

But, I want to clear up the misunderstanding.

Noーeven if she misunderstands, there’s one thing I want her to know.

「Fuyutsuki’s not normal. She says things you can’t tell if she’s serious or joking, she casually messes with me, and she enjoys itーShe’s a demonー」

「Ryo-chan, you’re wrong」

Mio’s voice was quiet, but it resonates and spreads throughout the chapel. She stood up and looked at the cross.

「No heart is a demon. Not inside Ryo-chan, not inside mine」

She says. I gasped.

「God is trying to save us, the weak, all equally. It’s not just one person to blame. Not just one that’s impure. We’re just as sinful」

「That can’t be. Mio’s always been kind and bright」

Mio denies with a light hum.

「I’m not angry about yesterday anymore」

「Huh?」

「It was me who encouraged Ryo-chan to do yourbest, and the fact that Ryo-chan and Fuyutsuki-san ended up doing lewd things in the process is God’s trial to me」

「God? Trial? No, what are you saying?」

「And so…」

Mio turns around.

Behind the light of the stained glass was a face of an angel ー or it was supposed to be.

But the face that held a compassionate smile, like that of a Buddha’s statue, has the corner of the lips upturned.

「I must thoroughly manage Ryo-chan」

I feel my spine shiver.

The way she speaks is cute, but the content sounds like a guard watching overーI don’t like the sound of it.

「M-Manage?」

「From good morning to good night, all of Ryo-chanー」

Mio comes closer with her compassionate smile, taking one step after another. The sound of her heels echoes, and it taps on the chapel floor.

I stepped back, but Mio came right up to me and looked up softly.

「Of course, you’re a boy, there are times where you can’t hold back, right? In those timesー」

She traces my cheek gently with the tip of her index finger.

「I will help you」

Huh? Help me? With my lust? Seriously?

The moment I imagined it, the rationality server in my brain blared an alarm, saying “libido rampage in progress” at full volume

「No, nononono, what are you saying」

「I’ll guide Ryo-chan so you don’t go the wrong direction. After all, if I leave you alone, the devil will tempt you, right?」

Saying that, Mio slid her finger down from my neck, to my chest, and finally to my pants.

Does she mean pleasure when she says guide?

「Wait! You’re the one tempting me right now!」

「Wrong. This is your salvation, Ryo-chan」

Mio wore a bewitching smile and pressed her large breasts against me.

「And so, don’t worry. If you want it, just tell me anytime. I’ll do anything Ryo-chan wants to doーeven sex」

This is bad. My groin is reacting normally.

If I let the flow take me, I can imagine the outcome. I think it’s going to be incredibly lewd. It would be too lewd that it would go further than any AV or lewd manga out there.

Mio’s so cute. Super duper cute. Mio’s been so kind to me, supported me, laughed at my silly stories as if they were funny, and the fact that Mio’s seducing me like this…Honestly, it’s nothing more than a reward.

If so, I can just entrust everything to her.

In these huge, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobsーDammit.

I’m not Ayato, I’m different from him. I’m not Ayato…

「Wait, no」

Just when it happened, my reason won, I put my hand on Mio’s shoulders.

「No, that’s not it, this isn’t the kind of relationship I want」

The Mio I know isn’t the type who would seduce me like this

Besides, this kind of reward-style relationship isn’t the one I want.

What I want is a normal romance with Mio, not the kind where someone gets controlled, dominated, or drowning in lust and pleasure.

Besides, this Mio isn’t the angelic Mio I know.

「What I want is a normal relationship, not something about helping lust or managing it」

Mio’s face suddenly turn blank.

「You’re rejecting me?」

「That’s not it! I’m not rejecting you! It’s just that you’re being different right now, Mio」

Mio looks down. Her shoulders trembled, she’s about to cry.

「Then, I’ll believe Ryo-chan once more」

「Okay, but what do I do?」

Mio gently placed her hands on my chest and raised her face.

「You know what to do in situations like this, don’t you? Ryo-chan?」

Huh? Is it a kiss?

Mio smiled and held out her right hand, saying “Here”

「Huh? What, your hand?」

「Ryo-chan’s smartphone. Can you set it up so I can open it with facial recognition next time?」

「You’re still managing?」

I called Mio out for the first time in my life.

「What about my privacy? Or rather, this is a huge hassle!」

「Don’t worry, Ryo-chan. If there’s love, there’s no need for privacy, and you don’t need to contact anyone but me, right? There’s no need to worry, you can show me everything」

「Your thinking is getting dictatorial」

「Then, I’ll have to put on a chastity belt on Ryo-chan’s penis」

「Wait, what?! You don’t intend to believe in me, do you」

This is heavy She’s cute, but my fear is stronger. She’s going to restrict my freedom.

Mio’s gone off the rails. But, she ended up like this because of me. If I had been more resolute with Fuyutsuki.

Tormented by regret, I quietly looked up at the cross.

God, what should I do? Tell me. How do I put back the Mio who doesn’t say she’ll relieve me of my lust, or put a chastity belt on my penis? Please tell me, God

† † †

「I’m Segawa Mio, representing the morals committee for class 2-A. Pleased to meet you all」

Mio’s bright voice echoes in the morals committee room after school. She enters, her skirt sways lightly, and she’s wearing her usual smile.

Although, it appears as if her eyes has a think black veil hanging over it.

Even the overly formal greeting carries an ominous atmosphere.

If I want to put it in words, she’s in her combat mode.

Mio addresses everying, but there’s just Fuyutsuki and me in this room. She’s staring straight ahead at Fuyutsuki as she speaks that I thought she could’ve just called her by name.

「Welcome, representative. Although, this isn’t much of a reception」

Woah, she just took it casually.

Fuyutsuki is being herself, and by that I mean she’s also responding in combat mode.

「I may also have my club activities but starting today, I’m also supporting the morals committee, mostly assisting the head of the committee, Ryo-chan」

Mio speaks with a lovely smile, and Fuyutsuki directs an inquiring look at me asking what does she mean by that?

I shrug to say I don’t know, as I don’t really know.

It was a compromise.

Mio believes me. But, she wants to confirm my relationship with Fuyutsuki within the committee’s locked room. She managed to infiltrate internally using the loophole known as the proxy system.

Moreover, it was none other than me who taught her about it. I’ve dug myself into a deep hole.

I want to ensure transparency and reduce Mio’s anxiety

Only when I attend the committee meeting Mio can come as a representative. If she watches me nearby, there won’t be any strange misunderstandings. Furthermore, this suppresses Fuyutsuki’s abnormal behavior.

This gets two birds in one stone. Logically speaking, this was almost perfect.

However, with one step forward, there’s something left behind.

In that case, it was my peace of mind.

「Supporting Sawa-kun is my job as the vice head of the comittee. You don’t have to try too hard, representative」

Fuyutsuki says that without changing her expression at all, Mio brings an artificial smile and pulls tight.

「No, I’ve known Ryo-chan for far longer. You can concentrate on your work as the vice head of the committee」

Then, I remembered. Mio looks cheerful, but she’s actually quite competitive.

「My job is to assist Sawa-kun. I’m the vice head of the committee」

「I’ll take over that role starting today. It’s over, good bye」

「You have club activities, don’t you? Don’t push yourself. You don’t even have to come Good bye」

What’s with these two? Scary!

Although they’re polite in their tone, they’re basically having a street fight with words. Who said that Goodbye is a lonely word? This is an exchange of incredibly heavy left hooks.

Although I’m neither the referee nor the sports assistant, I have no choice but to get in between. My stomach is already in full auto pain, yet I still manage to put on a smile.

「Girls, leave it at that…you two are teammates who will work together starting today so why don’t you two get along?」

Mio replied brightly.

「Of course, if Ryo-chan asks me, then we’ll get along! Right, vice head?」

Somehow, the meaning of “get along” has some gradation in it. The dark smile made me think that way.

「As morals committee, we’ll interact appropriately within the necessary scope」

Fuyutsuki replies in her usual tone. Those eyes say “I have no intention of talking to her”

Then.

Mio walked towards Fuyutsuki, her skirt swayed, and she reached out her left hand.

Fuyutsuki also extended her hand, and…wait, why her left hand?

ーI found out about it later.

Handshaking using left hand seems to be something generally avoided in many cultures.

It’s said that in fighting, war, separation, or farewell expresses these things, and they perceive it as demonstrating their aversion towards the other person

「Let’s work together, miss vice head」

「Yes, let’s get along. Miss representative」

The two exchanged a firm left handshake. No, isn’t this too stiff?

The muscles on their face aren’t moving at all, yet the area from the shoulder onwards is trembling, and the back of their hands are already discolored and their blood vessels are protruding.

ーWell, either way…

I helped ease out Mio’s anxiety (I think)

I also put Fuyutsuki in check (Hopefully)

In exchange for that, two or three holes have opened in my stomach, and they’ll keep opening up…Oh well.

I just found one thing surprising.

Fuyutsuki’s making such a reaction towards Mio.

I thought that Fuyutsuki’s indifferent towards others, or should I say that she’s the type who doesn’t get attached to anyone. But, what kind of perspective is behind the fact that she’s clearly focused on Mio?

Maybe Fuyutsuki likes me?

If so, the rest of the development is visibleー

『Ryo-chan, which tongue and hands feel better?』

『It’s got to be me, right?』

『I’m asking Ryo-chan』

 The two argue while licking both my nipples and using their hands to stroke my cock.

『Sawa-kun, you’re trembling, are you about to cum?』

『You don’t have to hold it, say what you want…Ei♡』

 Mio tightly gripped my rid, and immediately after, she stopped.

『Poor Sawa-kun』

『I’m managing him. I mean, Ryo-chan wants to let it out not in my hand, right?』

『Then, I’ll go firstー』

『Ah! Hey, that’s cheating! I’ll go first!』

 Then they argue who will go first.

ーNormally, I would immediately deny it, but I think it may be true this time.

I’m done. Depending on my choice, it might be possible.

No, even if it won’t actually happen, that kind of harem development where I got flower in both hands can’t be denied logically.

If that happensー

This will be heading further away from the normal romance I’m seeking.

In the end, I’m curious about Fuyutsuki’s feelings and her sense of rivalry against Mio.

Does she like me, or does she harbor some resentment towards Mio?

Speaking of which, Mio used to say things about Fuyutsuki.

『No, I know her. We haven’t talked, but I’ve always thought of her as a beautiful girl』

In fact, there was almost no contact between Mio and Fuyutsuki. They’re in the same grade, but they’re in different classes both last year and this year. Actually, the only relationship they had is they pass by each other in the hallway.

That’s why this reaction from Fuyutsuki leaves me some inexplicable sense of unease.

On one hand, I don’t think Mio’s ever earned anyone’s resentment.

In the end, I still don’t know Fuyutsuki’s true motives. I don’t know, but there’s one thing I do know.

「Sawa-kun, let’s go to the staff room together」Fuyutsuki pulled my arm.

「Ryo-chan, let’s stay here and clean up the room」

ーThis isn’t about a struggle for the man they like. It’s one of those limb tearing punishment carried out from medieval Europe.

「Ouch, you’re tearing me…It hurts! Stop!」

But if you think about it calmly, this too is my doing. This pain must be the divine punishment for having lewd fantasies with these two.

If I’m already this far, if I’m about to be poisoned, why not put it in a plate?

For now, I’ll have to say goodbye to normal romance,. Welcome to the battlefield.

† † †

On the way back, Mio and I were walking side-by-side.

The sun was quite low, and shadows of two people stretch long and thin. This time, our walk home was way more relaxed, but I’m enveloped in tension a little different than usual. to put it simply, I’m anxious being alone with Mio.

Suddenly, Mio speaks.

「Thanks for today, Ryo-chan」

The voice has the usual cheerfulness, that stirs up my anxiety.

「What’s that about?」

「You let me join the morals committee」

「Well, that’s obvious. If you don’t believe me, then I’m troubled」

「I believe you. I seriously believe you. I’m really serious. I truly believe you. Ryo-chan, do you believe me when I say that I believe you?」

It’s still scary.

Even you say ti with a smile, there’s pressure coming from her words, or should I say the temperature is too high, or her desire to dominate is seeping out, or something like “you know what will happen if you betray me, right?”. This is all completely different from Mio of before.

I knew it, it would take time for Mio to return to her original state.

「But you know, I believe you but I’m still worried」

Mio mumbles.

「Honestly , I don’t know what Fuyutsuki-san is thinking. At first, I simply thought she was aiming for Ryo-chan. But, after talking to her today, I thought it’s more than that.」

Mio’s thinking the same thing.

「It’s not just that, what do you mean?」

When I asked, Mio slowed her walk.

「I think she’s testing me. Her eyes were looking at me as if she’s checking how serious I am with Ryo-chan」

If that’s true, then Fuyutsuki’s always testing people.

But, she never lets anyone grasp what’s beyond.

The shameless game, which tests the qualification of the head of the morals committee, is the same. It doesn’t seem plausible that she did it for just that. There’s a hidden agenda. Even so, the moment, I almost grasped it, but the true meaning always slips through my hand.

「But I like Ryo-chan no matter what happens. I won’t give up Ryo-chan」

Is this okay? My heart jumped.

If this was Mio from back then, my heart would definitely pound for her.

But Mio’s words now feel like piecing. It sounds like it contains the nuance of “If you betray me, then you know what happens, right?” so I received it cautiously.

「Thanks, that makes me happy…」

「Yes! That’s why, you don’t have to worry, I’ll keep an eye on Ryo-chan!」

「Keep an eye, wait no」

Even though her smile and tone were kind, her choice of words were coming from a ruler.

ButーMio’s started throwing such uncontrollable emotions at me because of my lack of virtue. My sense of distance with Fuyutsuki and my role as the morals committee head were all mediocre.

That’s why Mio got anxious.

As a result, I distorted her kindness and her feelings for me.

ーI want to bring my angelic Mio back.

Mio who was gentle, straightforward, and would laugh and listen to what I say. And I like that Mio.

But this one is a little different.

The emotional balance is off, it’s turning to domination instead of love.

The choice to continue like this will make Mio more unstable.

And so, I decided.

I will keep the consistency. I’ll be sincere as the head of the morals committee, and as a man.

Showing Mio that will bring her heart back to place.

After making up my mind, I saw Mio looking at her phone and agonizing.

「So, what are you looking at now Mio?」

「Hmm, I’m just thinking which would suit Ryo-chan」

「Oh, clothes?」

「No, chastity belts」

「Mio-san?」

Can I really bring Mio back? I’m losing confidence.
