SS3 "A Guy's Dilemma"

One day.

At a classroom in Sakagura High School.

"Hey there, senior. You've been working hard."

"What is it, Kōsuke Hibiya?"

"I have a bit of a request... I'd like to borrow your... um, expertise for a while."

"Huh?"

"...It's actually something really hard to bring up..."

"What?"

"I need to secure a large quantity of... adult magazines."

"What?!"

"Adult magazines... I really need a lot of them."

"What?!?!"

I understand why you're looking at me like that. I never thought the day would come when I'd ask my senior something like this...

I never thought I'd live to see the day someone would ask me to do something like that.

Please understand, senior. The boys at our school are on the verge of exploding. They're at their absolute breaking point.

I don't know. You handle it yourself.

Men, you see, need materials to satisfy such desires.

"Hmm..."

"In any case, leaving such a state of unfulfilled desire unchecked could easily lead to unnecessary violence."

"Sexual frustration causing community collapse. Quite the little comedy, isn't it?"

"It's a tragedy. How absurd that people would fight over something so trivial."

"Do you even realize how trivial it is?"

"Of course. If I weren't representing everyone, I wouldn't be asking you, senior, to do something so embarrassing."

"Well, you do have Asada Rika-chan, such a lovely girlfriend."

"No, no, that's a completely different matter..."

"Wait—what?"

"No! I'm not saying I need it at all! It's everyone else who does!"

"Hmm."

"...Please don't look at me like that."

"By the way, if you're going that far, you must have some idea of where the supplies are hidden, right?"

"Of course. There's an old bookstore in front of the station, tucked away in a back alley—hard to spot, but the selection there is surprisingly good."

"You're quite familiar with it."

"Of course, just heard rumors. I have someone I care about, after all."

"…………Hmm."

Later.

Back in the same classroom.

"Oh man, your performance the other day was absolutely incredible! You tore apart that horde of zombies, wave after wave—ripping them apart and flinging them aside! Tearing them apart and flinging them aside!"

"…I don’t know, I feel like I’ve betrayed every single girl in the class who has a boyfriend."

"Nonsense! Quite the opposite! Thanks to you, we guys can now interact with the opposite sex with the purity of saints!"

"Then, I guess that’s okay…"

"By the way, the collected books are hidden in a women-only secret room named the 'Obscene Library.' The girls will never find out, so please rest assured."

"I feel like I'm being framed as an accomplice."

"Yet... I never thought I'd actually get my hands on that legendary ninth volume of 'Please Come From Behind'..."

"What's that?"

"It's the ultimate masterpiece of adult literature. It's a legendary book among us."

"...Ah,...yeah..."

"Besides, look! This one's from the early days of a certain super-famous author, a porn manga artist, titled 'Rampage of the Lust Demons...'"

"Ah, sorry. Not interested. Doesn't matter to me at all."

"Is that so? But apparently, this one's a real rare collector's item."

"I'm saying it again. I'm not interested."

"But since we're at it, wouldn't you like to take a look...?"

"May I kick your shins? Just a little?"

"Huh? Heh heh, my apologies....I just got carried away and spoke too fast."

"Hey, Kousuke-kun. You haven't revealed your true self yet, have you? You're not using me just to satisfy your own desires, are you?"

"No, no, absolutely not! I'm only doing this because everyone keeps pushing me..."

"Hmm. We'll see about that."

"But honestly, I do appreciate you, Senpai. Among the students, there are even couples who've decided not to do anything like that until the situation calms down."

"Well... in this situation, doing anything like that carries quite a bit of risk, you know."

"Because of that, I really, truly, thank you on everyone's behalf!"

"Please don't bow so formally."

"By the way!"

"Huh?"

"Um... Actually, apart from this matter, there's another request..."

"???"

"To be honest... some elderly patrons have requested access to the indecent library."

"??????"

"Isn't the mature woman genre getting more developed?"

???????????

So, I thought about it.

«?????????????????????????????????????»

There's another bookstore nearby the station that stocks plenty of material like that. I was thinking of sending the exploration team there too... Hey, senior. Would you be willing to accompany us again when that happens...?

……………――《Fireball》

"Um, senior? Why are you... using fire magic like that...?"

"――How should I know! Do whatever you want!"

"Ah! Aaaah! So hot! Hot hot hot! S-Sorry, excuse me!"
