Chapter 22 - The Career Woman from the Matching App Tells Me I Passed
As was to be expected, we finished our third round and had dinner. I was given the choice of eating in the dining hall or our room, and I chose our room. I wasn't interested in things like body sushi, but I thought this kind of extraordinary experience was something unique to a ryokan like this.
"That was delicious."
"It was. Did you have enough to drink?"
"Yeah, I'm not that strong of a drinker…♡"
However, the food that was brought to us was exquisite, and I didn't have the luxury for that. On top of that, we had opened two bottles of beer between the two of us, and Melody-san's cheeks were faintly flushed, her eyes looking at me with a dewy gaze. That expression, whether due to the alcohol or her yukata, seemed incredibly bewitching to my eyes.
"Ah… no… nngh♡"
Driven by an impulse that made her look somehow cute, I turned around and hugged her from behind. The scent of soap and a sweet fragrance tickled my nose, and my desire slowly rekindled.
"A-aren’t you a little too energetic…?"
"This is normal for me."
"H-how old do you think I am…? If you do that so much, my body will break…♡"
Though her voice trembled, her back was leaning against me as if seeking comfort. I pressed my body closer, and the overlapping fabric of her yukata loosened, revealing her white shoulder. When I peeked at her face, she shyly averted her eyes, but a definite smile was playing on her lips.
"You're not wearing a bra, are you?"
"N-ngh… because, I thought it would be better this way…♡"
"You always wear sexy ones, so I like undressing you, though."
"D-don't say that, you're already touching me—ah, nngh…♡"
When I grabbed her breasts over her yukata, I could clearly feel their softness even through the fabric, and my fingertips sank into them. Then, when I pinched her hardened nipples, she trembled slightly. I then ran my tongue along the nape of her neck, slowly licking her. A hot breath escaped her lips, and she couldn't help but writhe.
"…Can I play around a little?"
"Huh…? Are you going to do something weird again? Like wanting to rip my stockings? You should do that with another girl, not me."
"It’s because it’s you, Melody-san, that I want to do it."
"N-no…♡"
I untied my own obi and twirled it in front of her.
"…Wh-what’s that? Are you going to tie me up, or something…?"
"That's right. Have you never done this before?"
"O-of course not! G-gosh… you’re such a pervert!♡"
Ignoring her flustered voice, I wrapped the obi around her slender wrist and pulled the knot tight.

"I like it, though."
"W-wait a minute. The other day, you said you wanted to be bullied!"
"Oh, that? I stopped doing that, so now it's the other way around."
"What is wrong with you…? You're so selfish."
With her wrist still tied, I had her stretch her arm above her head. The more she resisted, the more her yukata came undone. Not only her upper body, but her panties were also exposed, and when I traced her erect nipple with my fingertip, she shivered, and her resistance disappeared.
"Th-this… n-no…♡"
"But it looks like you don’t hate it?"
"That’s… not true."
"How does it feel to have someone younger than you do this to you?"
I whispered teasingly in her ear, and she blushed, averting her eyes and biting her lip.
"I-I don’t… think anything of it…♡"
"Is that so?"
Well then, as I slimily licked her earlobe, I brought my finger to her mouth. Without a word, she brought her lips together, and with lewd, sucking sounds, she licked my finger clean. Even as the number of fingers increased to two, then three, and even as they thrashed around in her mouth, she didn't resist, but instead desperately intertwined her tongue with them.
"Ppa, n-ngh… ah, ahh…♡"
I slid my saliva-covered finger down to her chest, squished her soft breast, and rolled her pointed nipple between my fingers. At the same time, I brought my other finger to her mouth again, and she took it without resistance and began to suck on it.
"…Nnh, ah, ahh… augh!♡ N-no…!♡"
Now that my other finger was also covered in saliva, I kneaded her breasts with both hands and stimulated her nipples.

"Wh-what is this…? It feels… so good…♡"
"Your breasts are a weak spot, aren’t they?"
"Th-that’s true, but… s-somehow, it feels different from usual…♡ L-like a strange feeling…!♡"
She arched her back, and the voice that had been leaking out like a sigh now burst out sweetly. Every time her breasts were squeezed, her chest twitched, and her back and shoulders spasmed in small convulsions.
"Agh… ah, ahah!♡ J-just my nipples, no…♡"
"Well then, I should probably touch this too."
Melody-san's legs had naturally fallen open. In sync with her ragged breaths, I slid my finger over her panties, and she was already soaking wet. Furthermore, perhaps due to the thinness of the G-string, her juices had clearly soaked into the zabuton.
"Ugh… n-no… th-that… that’s really… no…!♡"
I licked and sucked on her ear and the nape of her neck. While kneading her breast with my left hand, my right hand slipped into her secret place. Breast, ear, neck, secret place. I stimulated Melody-san with everything I could move.
"Aahh!♡ Th-there… no!♡"
I knew her other erogenous zones, so I focused on teasing those areas.
"I-I’m cumming… E-even though we’re not having sex… I’m cumming!!♡"
Her breathing became ragged, and just as her voice cracked, she let out a near-scream, her hips and shoulders jolting.
"Ah…!"
I was pushed over by the force of her movement. Still, I didn't let go, and hugging her tightly, we collapsed onto the tatami. Our sweaty, damp skin, soft and hot, pressed together. Our breaths and sweet moans mingled by our ears, and our lips naturally met.
◇
"N-not again! You're doing too many weird things…♡"
"I wanted to try this too."
We moved to the futon, and our mood was at its peak. I was planning to have sex right away, but the desire to do the kind of bondage play we had just done welled up in me.
"Th-this… isn’t this just like a porn video…♡"
"That's what's good about it. It’s so lewd and exciting."
"I-if you say that… I can’t say anything back, can I……"
I had her lie face down on the futon and this time tied her wrists behind her back. It was the best view, something only her plump body could offer.
"Y-you said we’d take a slow soak in the hot spring, and then if we got in the mood……"
"That was how I felt then. Right now, Melody-san, I want to……"
My reason and impulse clashed over whether to say the next words. We had been having sex every week, and I had cum inside her countless times. At this point, no matter what strange things I said, our relationship wouldn't crumble. It was the same as when we had said we loved each other. I opened my mouth, thinking it would be something to heighten our mood.
"I want to rape you."
"…Huh, hah, wh-what are you saying……"
I embraced her from behind, rubbing my rock-hard dick against her while running my tongue along the nape of her neck.
"Nnh… ah, ahn…♡"
"Because you're having sex with another man and cumming, right?"
"Th-that’s true, but… that's just because I’m built that way…♡"
"You say you're going to cum, don't you?"
"…Because you, Yamada-san, told me to, so now… that’s how it is."
My jealousy was stirring and I couldn't help it. Even though we were just fuck buddies who met on an app, it wouldn't go away. Even though I thought I understood it rationally, the depths of my heart ached with a hot pain, and the impulse to dominate Melody-san reared its head.
"That's why I want to do something he can't."
"Y-you’re already doing it. Even when I’m being held by him, I’m thinking about you, Yamada-san…♡"
"In that case, do you… like me?"
"I do, I really do. When I’m having sex with you, Yamada-san, I can be myself without hiding anything…♡"
At those words, I felt the thing that had been stuck in the back of my chest, smoldering for so long, finally melt away. It wasn't the excitement of having sex, but something else that enveloped me. And then, my heart pounded as if it would burst, and my breathing became ragged. There was no reason or jealousy left in me. Just a blank white, and the desire to violate the woman in front of me. That was all.

"Agh!!♡"
My train of thought had completely derailed. Before I could think, my body moved on its own. Melody-san's inner turmoil and preparations were of no concern to me. My desire had surpassed any and all emotions.
"Nnaahh!♡ A-a-a-a-aahh!!♡"
Lewd squelching and sucking sounds echoed. I pushed my body hard against hers, and just as if to carve myself into her, I thrust my hips deep inside.
"I-I’m cumming… agh, aahh… ahah, I’m cumming, g-going to break… g-going to break…!♡"
Her back twitched and jumped, her shoulders and hips convulsing in small spasms. Every time her body tried to thrash, I pushed her down onto the futon with all my strength. Her voice became hoarse, ragged breaths escaped her lips, and faint, cracked moans constantly reached my ears.
"N-no… I-I’m going to go… crazy…♡"
"Does it feel… good?"
"D-deep… just deep… no, no…♡"
Normally, even during sex, she would understand my words and respond, but now it seemed her body was completely dominated by pleasure. Her voice was already cracking, and her moans had turned into a melted, gooey sound.
"I’m cumming… I-I’m cumming again… with this dick, so many times… I-I’m cumming!!♡"
I lowered my body, pressing myself against her back, and thrust my hips deep inside. Soon, my own pleasure was about to reach its peak. Right now, Melody-san's voice, body, and convulsions were all overlapping.
"Aahh… I-I’m cumming…!"
A shock that sent a tingling sensation all the way to my brain shot through my body, and the moment I finished inside her, all the strength drained from my body and I collapsed.
◇
"…Passed."
"H-huh?"
"I didn't think it would be this soon, but you passed."
My voice cracked unintentionally. My head was still fuzzy from the intense sex we just had. I was filled with the afterglow of pleasure and happiness, but in front of me was Melody-san with a serious expression. For some reason, it seemed I had passed something.
"…Is this about having five stars, or something?"
"Hmm, it's related to that, but a little different."
It was getting more and more confusing. It didn't seem like I had passed some test to become Melody-san's boyfriend. It was definitely a pass related to this app, but I couldn't wrap my head around it.
"To put it simply, Yamada-san, you're getting special treatment… I guess?"
"Special… treatment?"
"Yeah. This app has a ranking system, but sometimes people get special exceptions. You can think of yourself as one of those people."
I was just doing it for the pleasure of having free sex. I hadn't particularly tried hard or made any effort, so was it really okay for something like this to happen?
"By the way, this special exception… you said? What kind of people are chosen for it?"
"Let's see. I'm not that familiar with it either, but it seems to be mostly celebrities and athletes."
"Wait a minute. Are you saying I’m going to be on the same level as them?"
"Yeah. That’s right."
Her casual reply didn't help. First of all, I didn't understand how Melody-san could do something like that. I had suspected it, but could she really be an admin? That thought crossed my mind, and my eyes widened in surprise.
"…Melody-san, are you involved with the administration?"
"I can't say. But I can tell you what direction you can take from here, Yamada-san."
I couldn't help but frown. If she answered that she couldn't say, then that was as good as confirming she was involved. I didn't think I was being tricked or anything, but it made me suspicious.
"Direction…?"
"What do you want to become, Yamada-san? You're not using this as a real matching app to find a girlfriend, are you?"
"W-well… that's right."
"So, do you want to have sex with celebrities or models?"
That was certainly appealing. The first girl I met, Luna-chan, had said that was her goal. In fact, what were other people using this app for?
"I do think about it… someday, but I don't know who's on there."
"You’re right. But there are some surprising people on there."
Melody-san really is one of the admins. Otherwise, she wouldn't be talking about this.
"I think the person who introduced me to this place showed me. She's in a morning drama right now, isn't she? She's known for being pure and innocent, so I can't believe it."
"That's just how it is. Because even girls who seem serious or chaste are licking their boyfriends or partners. Even that nakai from earlier might be moaning 'ahn ahn' in pleasure right now."
"…Y-you’re right."
So, what does this all mean? My head was already in a whirl, and my thoughts were a mess. Melody-san was probably a capable person with a quick mind, but her lighthearted way of speaking had completely short-circuited my thought process.
"Anyway! Yamada-san, how do you want to use this from now on? Just tell me that."
How should I answer? What was the right choice? No matter how much I thought about it, no answer came to mind, and I fell silent.
"D-don't look so down. You don't have to think about it so seriously."
"N-no, it just feels like I'm being cornered by my boss……"
"Ah… I might have let my usual habit slip out. I'm sorry."
"No, you're not. I'll make you pay for it later."
"Wh-why does it have to be like that…♡"
In that moment, I felt like I understood something.
"Ah… I want a partner I can have this kind of back-and-forth with."
"Huh, um, you mean… like me?"
"That's right. You see, most of the people I've met so far have had boyfriends or fuck buddies. Even so, I want to have sex that makes them want to see me again. No, I want to see them again too… that's not quite right. Um, you see……"
At my jumbled answer, Melody-san couldn't help but look up at the heavens. Crap. She might have figured out that I'm incompetent at work. A strange sense of pressure began to spread as self-loathing.
"F-for now! Um… I’d be happy if I could just have a lot of sex with a lot of different people."
"Ahaha! That might be easier to understand."
"I'm sorry about that……"
Somehow, the mood seemed to have lightened, but it was the worst possible answer for a man. The only person who would laugh at that would be a partner from this app.
"This might sound strange, but I'm not popular with women at all, so I really think this is the best app ever."
"It certainly is the best, isn't it? But you know, there's something strange. I think if a woman has sex with you, Yamada-san, she'll never forget it, so were you really not popular in your private life?"
"Not at all. That’s why I was going to brothels, but I kept getting banned for being too big… And that’s how I got introduced to this place."
"I see. That’s kind of surprising, but I think you’re going to have to start being popular in your private life too, you know?"
"…What's that supposed to mean?"
When I looked at her face, her serious gaze was fixed on me, and I held my breath.
"Okay, what I'm about to tell you now is something you can't tell anyone. So make sure you get it into your head."
"…Yes."
What she told me was an incredible story. But at the same time, another desire began to bubble up from the depths of my chest, and a heat that couldn't be expressed in words slowly spread from the core of my body.
