I (30), Who Works for a Black Company and Died While Regretting My Gloomy Life, Started Over From High School!
Chapter 86: A Model Virgin Reaction

Under the shining sun, the beach was bustling with activity. The sandy shore was crowded with beach umbrellas and deck chairs, and it was filled with energetic children and carefree college students running around.

The blue sea stretched as far as the eye could see, forming waves that crashed onto the shore, creating white splashes and foam.

“Wow… it’s the ocean… not a soothing wallpaper or a relaxing video, but the real sea,” someone exclaimed.

The journey to this beach was quick and pleasant. Natsuzaki-san drove an eight-seater wagon car, providing us with a comfortable and spacious ride. During the trip, we engaged in lively conversations. Fudehashi was surprised to find out that almost everyone had finished their summer homework, and Shijouin-san shared that she buys a new school swimsuit almost every year because her chest tends to grow quickly.

Now, we were all standing together, having changed into trunks-type swimwear. Our mission was to secure a spot with parasols and beach mats.

“Hey, Niihama,” Ginji called out.

“Hm? What’s up, Ginji?”

The atmosphere was filled with a sense of luxury.

“Thanks for inviting me, of course! Being asked to join girls for a beach trip is a super rare event. I was so happy that I cried tears of joy!” Ginji said, shedding tears of happiness again, seemingly still moved by the invitation.

I could truly understand his feelings. The spot we were standing on was the golden horizon that all teenage boys across the country longed for, but only 0.01% could reach.

“That’s good to hear. I was worried you might feel out of place or something. But the girls were happy to have you come along, and thanks to ‘that,’ your presence in the classroom has been quite popular. Well, in a bit of a twisted way,” I said.

“Huh? ‘That’? Popular?” Ginji seemed puzzled.

“Don’t you remember? Thanks to you, you’re a bit famous in class as ‘the man with that thing.’ Well, in a slightly perverted way.”

“Wait, ‘that’? ‘Famous’? What are you talking about? I have no idea!” Ginji looked lost.

“Welcome back, everyone! Thanks for securing the spot!” Fudehashi and Kazamihara came over from behind us.

(I see… these two are on a completely different level…) I thought.

Fudehashi wore a two-piece swimsuit with shoulder straps that crossed in front of her neck, featuring a navy and yellow sporty design. Her slender figure beautifully accentuated the curves of her body. Her gap between the exposed skin and her usual cheerful smile made her incredibly charming.

Kazamihara, without her glasses, wore a bikini with a slightly mature green design, enhancing her seemingly slim chest. Although she was usually free-spirited, it seemed a little embarrassing for her to expose her skin in front of the boys, as she had a slightly shy expression.

“Both of you look great. Yeah, really nice,” I honestly complimented, but it didn’t seem to be the reaction they were expecting.

“Hmm… it’s nice to hear you say that, but your reaction is too indifferent. We’re high school girls showing our swimsuits, you know?” Fudehashi said.

“Well, I’m really happy to be praised, but couldn’t you show a bit more embarrassment? It’s part of the gentleman’s manners when girls show their swimsuits, you know?” Kazamihara added.

“That’s right! If you blush a bit more like Ginji, it will save face for us girls! Haha, you’re such a pure boy!” Fudehashi playfully teased Ginji.

“Huh? Me…? What…!?” Ginji’s face flushed, and he seemed to be having a hard time with the situation.

Unexpectedly, the contact with the girls in their swimsuits was too much for Ginji to handle. His brain seemed to be boiling, and he couldn’t withstand the legendary situation of the girls saying, “Sorry for the wait!” The embarrassment made him collapse onto the sandy beach.

“This is what we call the proper reaction of a pure boy. You should learn from Ginji,” Fudehashi said, amused, while patting Ginji’s shoulder.

“Yeah, that’s right. If you react like him, it will maintain our dignity as girls! Haha, but seriously, Ginji, you’re too pure!” Kazamihara added.

(Man, it’s embarrassing. But I do think their swimsuits are beautiful… Well, I just had an incredibly thrilling experience with Shijouin-san the other day, so I can’t show the intense reaction they want from me…) I thought.

“Oh… such a good reaction. Well then, here I go… hyaa!”

Kazamihara lowered herself beside the collapsed Ginji and lightly traced her fingers along the nape of his neck, which was already overwhelmed by the intense experience.

“Gyaaaahhhh!?”

Ginji jumped like a grasshopper, then rolled back onto the sandy beach again. The stimulation seemed too much for him, and his limbs were twitching slightly.

“Ahahaha! I must say, I was surprised the first time I saw it, but your reactions, Yamahira-kun, are just too amusing! It’s like watching a startled cat!” Fudehashi said with laughter. (TLN: I think Yamahira is Ginji’s given name.)

“Well, I know it’s wrong, but when you get flustered like this, it satisfies my sense of superiority while also accelerating my sadistic tendencies,” Kazamihara added.

“Hey, cut it out! Don’t tease Ginji!” I said, trying to protect Ginji from the playful girls.

However, Ginji’s face was still as red as a boiled octopus.

This is what I mentioned earlier as “that thing.”

(I mean, I didn’t know he’d be like this until this life, but…) In my previous life, there were no girls around me, but in this life, as I started talking to girls here and there, Ginji also had more opportunities to interact with girls. Through that, it became clear that Ginji had an exceptionally low tolerance towards the opposite sex.

When it was just a conversation with girls, he could manage to blush but handle it somehow. However, just a slight touch on the shoulder or hand would trigger his virgin power to explode, resulting in either him fainting from shame or collapsing on the spot.

Everyone in the class realized that Ginji’s lack of immunity to the opposite sex was genuinely overflowing with virgin aura. Though they couldn’t laugh out loud and restrained their amusement, they couldn’t help but be entertained by the pure Ginji’s antics, who would writhe in agony from any accidental contact.

“Hey, are you okay, Ginji? Are you still alive!?”

“Aaah… N-Niihama… I’m ready to die…”

“Idiot! Don’t be satisfied and die just because the girls teased you a bit!”

I can’t really say anything, considering I used to feel happy with just a slight touch from a girl in my previous life, but come on, isn’t the satisfaction level too low!?

“I know… I understand how you feel. After graduating high school, I’ll probably remember this day of going to the beach with girls as the peak of my life,” Ginji said, with a sense of painful reality.

“Don’t say such depressing and vividly realistic things, you idiot!” It struck too close to home for me, who often thought, “Talking to Shijouin-san during high school was the peak of my life.”

And as we were engrossed in our foolish skit…

The girls murmured in a soft voice.

“By the way, Haruka is late, huh? She asked us to go ahead and start changing since she went to the restroom.”

“Yeah, she is a bit late. The changing room is right over there, so it’s hard to imagine she got lost.”

Hearing that conversation, I unconsciously looked in the direction of the changing rooms.

The beach was crowded with many beachgoers, as it was still in the morning, making it quite chaotic.

Yet, my unconscious mind seemed to be seeking Shijouin-san’s figure, and to my surprise, I naturally caught sight of her small silhouette…

“…!! Sorry, I’ll go and get her!”

“Huh? W-wait, Niihama-kun!?”

Suddenly, I transformed into a frenzied state, surprising Fudehashi with my sudden change of demeanor. Ignoring her, I sprinted full speed toward the beach.
