How cold, you ignoramus of romance

Nice to meet you 3

"I know my appearance isn't attractive, you know. But I have a friend with benefits."

"Is that so? Hmm, interesting. It's the first time I've met someone with a friend with benefits."

"You're not put off by it?"

"Nah, that wouldn't bother me at all."

Since I hadn't even met anyone who had had sex around me, I was surprised to meet someone who had a friend with benefits.

However, I believed that one should respect each other's thoughts as much as possible, so I had no intention of commenting on someone else's thoughts unless my own thoughts were infringed upon.

"You see," Yua said to Miwako, "I was just telling Miwako about my friend with benefits. Actually, I have six friends with benefits."

"Six? That's impressive, even one is rare, isn't it?"

"Yeah, right? Miwako, you're something."

"No, I just have a stronger sexual desire than most people. It's really strong."

"How do you find people like that?"

"You want to know that? I don't really know. I know some through friends of friends. They know I'm looking for friends with benefits."

"Wow, that's fascinating. I'd like to hear more about that."

"Is that so? Then, can we talk about dirty jokes? I'm a little drunk, and I feel like it."

"Sure, go ahead. I like dirty jokes too."

I asked Miwako about my wonders about friends with benefits. Do you ever have dinner before going to the hotel? Do they ever pay you for sex?

"We sometimes have dinner together, but it's more like being with a friend than a lover." "I've never paid for anything. Sometimes I'll pay for the hotel, but it's always Dutch."

Yua asked, "Is sex enjoyable?"

"You haven't had sex?" Both of us shook our heads.

"Wow, it feels like experiencing a woman's joy. It's amazing. It's addictive."

Yua listened with great interest, like a student listening to a teacher's story.

"Really? Are you sure?" I frowned.

"Is Touka also a virgin?"

"Of course! How old do you think I am?"

"The same age as me? Nineteen?"

"No, seventeen."

"Seventeen?!" Both of their eyes widened.

"I thought you were older," Miwako said, nodding in agreement with Yua.

Miwako and Yua looked at each other and said, "You're young."

"Which means, Yua is the only adult among us."

"Huh, really?"

"That's strange. Yua, you look the youngest among us, but you're actually the oldest, right?"

I strongly agreed with Miwako's words. Yua was the shortest among us and had a slim figure. Even if she said she was seventeen, no one would doubt it. Her anime-like voice emphasized that impression even more.

"But it's strange. At first, I thought Touka was a good student, so I didn't think we could be friends," Miwako said.

"Is that so?" I replied, watching Yua nod.

"It's not like I'm a good student, and you talk a lot during class too."

"Oh, because it's a waste if you don't talk much in class, right?"

"Oh, I see. We're paying high tuition fees."

"Yeah, that's right."

Since it was a language school that said they would send us to foreign universities, the tuition fees were high. It was also a sign that everyone was serious about going to foreign universities.

"I'm glad I met someone I get along with!" said Miwako.

"Me too! I'm happy to have friends. I'm not good at socializing somehow."

Of course, I was treated like a weirdo at my previous school, so I didn't have any friends who were real friends. I spent my break time reading novels, writing, and drawing pictures. After entering the language school, I had a clear goal of going to a foreign university, so every day was fulfilling just by studying hard. I never cared about not having friends, and even if I made them, I thought they would just take away my time.

"That's probably because everyone thinks Touka is a serious person," Yua said.

"’I don't have any interests other than studying, and I don't waste a single second of my life.’ Like that."

"No, that's not true. I may be serious, but I'm not perfect either."

"But you always speak confidently in class and never miss your homework," Yua said.

"Yeah, that's right. That's why I'm surprised that we're having dinner together like this."

"I'm glad to hear that."

We ate tamagoyaki, potato salad, yakitori, fried chicken, and ice cream, drinking and enjoying each other's company.

That's why, for some reason, I didn't want to go home even though it was close to midnight.
