The Salty Princess Told Me That I Was a ‘Convenient Keep’, so I Tested What Would Happen if I Introduced the Most Beautiful Girl at Another School as My Girlfriend
“Hehehe, I’ve become beautiful, haven’t I?”
Laughing like that, a girl I’ve known since childhood who has long since moved away – Kotone Koga sam. After all, no matter how I look at her appearance, she is a different person from the Kokone I know.
“…… are you really that Kokone?”
Even now that she has introduced herself, I’m still not convinced. The Kokone I knew was a strong-willed, manly guy who would put his hand in front of his mouth. He was the kind of idiot who would show me pornographic videos, saying he had found an interesting video.
It’s been more than five years since then, but can people change so much?
“Don’t doubt it. I’m really Kotone Koga, you know?”
“No, that may be true, but I don’t really feel …… that way.”
“Real feeling, huh?…Ah, that’s right. Look, look here? Here. It’s here, right? There are two moles. If you look at this, you’ll remember it, right?”
Saying this, the girl unbuttoned her shirt to reveal her chest. Two small moles could be seen around the cleavage of her large breasts.
“…… Ah.”
I saw those moles and suddenly remembered. In the past, I used to point to the two moles on Kokone’s chest and tease her, saying that her nipples were showing.
That is the worst of my black history, but I certainly recognise these moles.
“……, don’t suddenly show me your chest!”
I look away in a panic. The girl …… Koga-san immediately hid her breasts with an embarrassed expression.
“Haha, sorry, sorry. I kind of missed you and got into a weird tension.”
“No, you don’t have to apologise. ……”
The only thing is, when you suddenly get such a beautiful girl showing you her cleavage, you don’t know what to do.
“But, well. Then after all, you really are that Kokone.”
So once again, I turn my gaze towards Kokone …… Koga-san.
Beautiful brown hair swaying in the wind. She has smooth white skin like porcelain and big breasts that catch everyone’s attention. A perfect beautiful girl with no flaws no matter how you look at it. She really became beautiful, like a different person.
Seeing me surprised, Koga-san said with a slightly disapproving expression.
“Is it really that surprising? From my point of view, Ochiha-kun has changed quite a bit too, don’t you think?”
“Eh? Me?”
“That’s right.
I didn’t know who he was at first either. You’ve grown a lot taller, and your atmosphere is totally different from before.”
“Oh, well, I am what I am. I dye my hair.”
“I knew it, you dye your hair. I thought it was a mutation.”
“What kind of mutation? I got it dyed at the hairdresser’s.”
“I didn’t expect that. I didn’t know you went to a hairdresser. You used to say you wanted to use the money your mother gave you for a haircut to buy games, so you cut it yourself and you looked like a fallen warrior.”
“……That’s from when I was a kid, isn’t it?”
I let out a breath of exasperation. Koga san took a step closer to me and looked around as if to confirm something.
“But Ochiha-kun’s house isn’t around here, right? There aren’t any shops here, so what are you doing here at this time?”
“‘That’s …….”
In fact, the girl I’m currently dating might be cheating on me. But I couldn’t pursue it deeply. I felt so pathetic that I was running aimlessly, and here I was.
It’s not cool to say ……
“Hmm? Is there something you’re having trouble saying?”
Koga-san tilts her head at me, who has fallen silent. I looked away, as if to deceive her.
“…… It’s nothing serious. I was just taking a walk for a change.”
“Really? If that’s the case, it’s fine.”
Koga-san nods in agreement.
“Well, Ochiha-kun, it seems like your naughty side hasn’t changed, so I’m relieved.”
“Don’t say random things. A long time ago, Koga-san was the one who showed me erotic videos because she said she had interesting videos, right?”
“Huh? Is that so? But Ochiha-kun, you were just looking at my breasts as if you were digging into them. You’ve always liked big breasts, right? Ochiha-kun.”
“…you showed it to me first, right?”
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, I averted my gaze toward the riverbed.
A riverbed illuminated by moonlight. I used to hang out around here a lot, but recently I haven’t been here as often. …But why did I end up running to a place like this?
“Huh? What’s wrong? Ochiha-kun. You suddenly went quiet again ……. Is it possible that something is troubling you?”
Koga-san looks at me worriedly. I give a small smile and shake my head.
“No, I’ve been thinking about it for a while. I used to drain water here a long time ago.”
“Oh, I remember, we used to play games. I remember that we used to play games to see who could reach the other side of the river first. And I always won.”
“That’s right. And Kokone would always say it was a game of punishment and tell me…”
…… What was that? I feel like I’ve been punished to do something terrible, or is it just my imagination? As I recall, the old Kokone used to say to me…
“Y-Yes, that’s right! Let’s drain the water for the first time in a long time!”
Koga-san says that to interrupt my thoughts and runs down the hill.
“Hey, Koga-san!?”
I panicked and ran after Koga san. …Maybe Koga-san also remembered that punishment game? Koga san looked panicked, and after making sure there was no one on the other side, she grabbed a stone that had fallen nearby and threw it.
“Ara
However, the stone did not bounce on the water and sank with a plop. Unfortunately, this is not a drain.
“Ah.”
Then, after a long time, She lost her balance after draining the water. Koga san went straight into the river…
“Watch out ……!”
I panicked and reached out my hand. My body moved reflexively. I kicked the ground as hard as I could and managed to grab Koga-san’s arm and stop her from falling into the river.
“……Ah!”
However, unable to stop due to my momentum, I fall straight into the river. The sound of a stupid man falling into the river echoes through the quiet nighttime riverbed.
“Hey, Ochiha-kun, are you alright?!”
Koga-san rushes to jump into the river, but I shake my head.
“It’s all right. It’s shallow here.”
I don’t know if it was when I was a child, but now the water is only up to my knees. The current is not fast, and there is no need to worry about being washed away.
…… Well, I still got my uniform soaking wet.
“Really, what are you doing. …… haha.”
It’s kind of funny and makes me laugh. What was I worrying about until now? Why was I so worried that I was going to die just because my girlfriend cheated on me?
“Ku-hahahhahaha!”
It’s funny. For the first time in a long time, I feel like I’m really laughing.
“…Ochiha-kun, are you alright? You didn’t hit anything weird, did you?”
“It’s all right, it’s all right. I just laughed a little bit when I remembered.”
“…… Anyway, you should get up first.”
Koga-san holds out her hand towards me
“…………”
But for some reason, I hesitate to take that hand.
“Hnn? What’s wrong?”
“…… No, thanks.”
Shaking off unnecessary thoughts, I took Koga-san’s hand and climbed out of the river. …… Koga-san’s hand was very warm.
“I’m sorry? Because of me, your uniform is soaked wet.”
“Ah, well, it’s fine.
I think it will probably be dry by tomorrow.”
“But Ochiha-kun’s house is far away from here, right? If you stay like this, you might catch a cold… That’s right!”
Koga-san’s eyes light up as if she has come up with a good idea.
“Come over now! Mine right there, and both Mimiko and mom want to see Ochiha-kun for the first time in a while!”
“No, even if you suddenly say something like that, it’s not convenient for you ……”
“Do you have any other plans for the rest of the day?”
“No, I don’t ……”
“Well, then, it’s settled! Let’s go ……?”
“Wait, I haven’t…”
“I’ve already decided, come on, let’s go.”
I was forcibly taken by the hand and started walking. …Honestly, it was easy to shake it off. But right now, I have no reason to do that. There’s no need for me to turn it down
And so, I suddenly decided to visit Koga-san’s house for the first time in years.

Sakaki Saori was irritated.
“I can’t get through……”
It has been a while since Saori left Sakashima Ochiha and went out of the classroom. A change in her state of mind had occurred, Saori made a rare phone call to Ochiha herself.
“…………”
Sitting on the big sofa in her room, she put her phone to her ear while staring at a point. …… But no matter how long she waited, the call was not connected. A small sense of frustration and anxiety spreads through her chest.
“What, I ……”
It’s normal for her to be loved, and it’s usual for her to be coldly dismissive. Even if she rejects him for it, that’s fine.
—He’s just a ‘convenient keep’.
“…… enough.”
Has she reached the limit of her patience? Saori placed her smartphone on the table and collapsed onto the bed.
“It doesn’t …… matter, it shouldn’t …… matter.”
Why does she feel so anxious? Maybe she regrets calling him a “convenient keep”? Or unconsciously, about him…
“No way.”
Saori muttered this in a small way and closed her eyes.
