The remaining girls blushed deeply upon hearing his question, but none of them outright rejected it and accused him of a pervert like what a typical person would expect. In fact, they actually thought about it and the more they did, the more it felt appealing to them. Sakayanagi looked calm about the whole thing despite her... questionable intentions and Kushida wanted to experience it too.
"Count me in," Chiaki spoke, getting over her shock as it got replaced with great interest. "I want to feel what it's like~"
Suzune was the next to speak. She wouldn't do this if it was any other person. Kiyotaka was her friend and if she can't trust him, then she can't trust anyone. "I... trust you as well, Ayanokouji-kun, so... i-if it's fine with you..." she tried to be firm about her words, but ended up stuttering in embarrassment.
"I... suppose I could give it a shot..." Kei rubbed her arm nervously and looked away with a blush.
In Airi's case, it was taking every bit of her willpower and courage to stay where she was instead of running away in embarrassment. Still, she couldn't deny that she felt interested as well and it's not like this was the first time that she would expose herself to the young man who was with them.
"U-Uhm... i-i-if you don't mind, then... I don't m-mind as well, A-A-Ayanokouji-kun..."
"I'm curious about what it's like," Hiyori nodded as well. Earlier, she felt embarrassed and confused with Arisu's behavior towards Kiyotaka but it was quickly replaced by curiosity, especially with regards to being washed by another person. And now she wanted to experience it too.
Honami was similar to Airi, but she was more composed. Honestly, she was more embarrassed about being clad in only a towel in front of Kiyotaka than the question of whether she would like to wash her back or not.
"I... I don't mind..." she muttered, having no qualms about the arrangement. Who knows? This might help her become less embarrassed around his presence... as long as he doesn't do anything that makes her embarrassed, that is.
Sae looked at her students in shock, before all pairs of eyes turned towards her. Even though she hated it, the woman knew that she was now left in a lose-lose situation. If she rejects his offer, she would look weak in front of her own students and might even get teased by Chie if she ever finds out about this. If she accepts, then Ayanokouji would get his hands on her ahead of the deal that they made... even if it was only to wash her back and nothing more.
"Tch... fine. But don't think that I'm completely on board with this, Ayanokouji!" she snapped, making it clear that she didn't want this and was simply left with no choice.
"Then please line up," the young man, ignoring Sae's reason because it was just her trying to salvage whatever dignity she had left. "I don't care which order, just be ready once I'm done with Sakayanagi."
"Ayanokouji-kun... I'm waiting for you to do something," Arisu said in a sweet but sinister voice, having grown impatient by now.
Kiyotaka rolled his eyes and squeezed the towel in his hand. "Yeah, yeah..."
It was truly a test worthy of the 'Masterpiece', because he would have to go through helping nine of his heroines get cleaned up, facing things like embarrassment, shame, and awkwardness along the way.
An hour and a half later, Kiyotaka was finally done washing everyone's backs, and now he was staring at his 'work' with his usual blank face. However, he didn't feel apathetic nor numb to the scene before him. Instead, the young man felt a mixture of embarrassment and disbelief filing him up to the core at seeing what he caused.
The girls were all lying around him with their towels still covering their fronts, caught in a state between consciousness and unconsciousness as they panted heavily. Their bodies were twitching as if someone subjected them to some kind of electric shock that rendered them nearly immobile. Another thing that they all shared was their equally red faces, from either the rising steam or pure shame.
"H-How... How is he so good at this...?"
"He just washed my back... he didn't touch me anywhere else... but it feels like this..."
"As... expected... of you... Ayanokouji-kun..."
"I feel... I feel so good everywhere... I... want more of it..."
"Haaaa... haaaa... Aya...nokouji...kun... you..."
"Damn... you... why are you so... so good...?"
"Why... does it feel so... good...? He didn't even... touch me anywhere... improper..."
"I never knew... being washed... feels really good... I like it..."
"Y-You... You're not going to... win me over... so easily... Ayanokouji..."

"I'm gonna go wash myself now," announced the 'Masterpiece' of the White Room with a deadpan tone, while trying to ignore how he had gained the power to leave the girls in this state just by simply washing their backs. He didn't even put much effort in doing so, just enough to classify as 'washing' so he could get out of his situation as soon as possible.
And yet, this happened.
This eroge system could honestly make the entire female population of Japan fall for him if it wanted to, and Kiyotaka could only be grateful that it wasn't that cruel to him.
The young man stood up and prepared to go to the other side of the onsen where it was completely left alone, only to be stopped when someone grabbed onto his foot, causing him to look down and see who it was.
"Is there anything that you still need from me, Matsushita?" he raised an eyebrow at Chiaki who was struggling to lift her head from the ground in order to look up at him.
"I can't wait anymore, Ayanokouji-kun..." the brunette groaned as she lifted herself off the ground, not even caring that her towel fell and left her completely naked in front of the young man.
Kiyotaka could only watch with an eyebrow raised as Chiaki pulled herself up to his level, before wrapping her arms around his neck and joining her lips with his in a deep kiss.
As his eyes widened in disbelief at her sudden action, Kiyotaka then felt the familiar sound of a camera snapping a photo before several new notifications popped up in front of him.
['Chiaki in the Bath' was added to the gallery!]
[You have gained 25 Affection Points with Matsushita Chiaki!]
[Relationship Status 'I've Got a Stalker' has been maxed! Relationship Status with Matsushita Chiaki has been upgraded to 'Obsessed with You'!]
[Congratulations! You have unlocked the Achievement: 'The First Kiss Lasts Forever'! You gained +5 in Charm!]
The kiss itself lasted for a minute, and it was mostly Chiaki moving her lips for about half of it before Kiyotaka finally decided to return the gesture by moving his own. A part of him wanted to hug this girl close or even grab her hips (there was even a very small part of him that wanted to grab her ass instead) but the stronger part of his mind was telling him that Chiaki wasn't wearing anything so it wouldn't be right to do so.
With that, he prevented himself from doing anything else and only focused on the kiss until Chiaki finally pulled away with a completely red face and her breathing ragged.
"That was my first kiss, Ayanokouji-kun~" she gave him a sensual smile and giggled a bit at seeing the expression on his face. "I hope you know how much girls treasure their first kiss, especially when it's with the boy that they like."
Even though her legs were failing her, Chiaki then moved away from him and managed to make her way to the normal pool before submerging herself in it, not even minding the fact that she was now stark naked because her towel fell earlier.
Kiyotaka could only stare at the girl absent-mindedly, at least until his attention went to a certain jealous girl who was ready to go on a rampage from what she just witnessed.
"How was it, Ayanokouji-kun? You must have really enjoyed that first kiss..." said Kikyo in an emotionless voice, as no traces of her usual bright and happy nature were left. She didn't care about hiding her real self anymore at this point.
Kiyotaka then noticed that a lot of the girls had already recovered from their euphoric states and bore witness to Chiaki kissing him. Suzune and Kei both frowned at him, while Sae and Honami were surprised. The only ones who were still out of commission were Hiyori and Airi, which was probably for the best.
"In case you missed it, I did not do anything. She was the one who made the move and I just stood where I am," he defended himself while clearing his throat. He then switched back to his usual deadpan look. "If you want to be honest, then yes. I enjoyed it. It was my first kiss and I'm happy to get it from a beautiful girl.
"Oh, stop it, Ayanokouji-kun! You are going to make me fall for you even more!" Chiaki squealed like a schoolgirl in love, slapping both of her cheeks as she shook her head furiously.
"Well, at least you're honest about it..." Suzune said, as she wondered why it bothered her to see Matsushita kissing the young man. She was almost tempted to go over to Kiyotaka and kiss him herself, but she quickly shook off the idea. "Did it have to be really long, though? Are kisses supposed to take more than a minute?"
"I have no idea myself but does it matter? Matsushita did what she wanted to do and I didn't mind it," he shrugged.
"It must have been a pretty good kiss..." Kei grumbled, not even bothering to hide her jealousy.
"You're right, Ayanokouji-kun. It doesn't matter how long a kiss takes."
Before he could realize what was happening, Sakayanagi grabbed him by the shoulder and made him turn towards her. She then grabbed his head and pulled him towards her as their lips met, surprising him for the second time in a row.
[You have gained 30 Affection Points with Sakayanagi Arisu!]
Unlike Chiaki, whose kiss was passionate and somewhat innocent, Arisu could be likened to that of a hungry animal. She didn't waste time and pushed her tongue into his mouth and began to explore it. She continued to do this for a few moments, savoring every part of the boy's mouth and even tasting his tongue with her own.
Kiyotaka, refusing to be defeated by this girl who had annoyed him on several occasions by now, pushed back with his tongue and took the fight into her mouth. The tables were immediately turned as Arisu, who was being aggressive a while ago, could only submit to Kiyotaka's superior strength. Unlike Chiaki, he hugged her close, pressing their bodies together with only a towel separating their skin.
He didn't stop there, though. His hands went to her sides and gave them a squeeze, making Arisu jump in surprise and leaving her at his complete mercy. He kept both of his hands there and continued the kiss-turned-makeout session for half a minute before finally stopping.
The moment Arisu separated from him, Kiyotaka could only stare at the girl in wonder as a thousand questions crossed his mind at the moment, and most of them involved the lilac-haired student and her true intentions.
Just like that, his second-ever kiss was taken by this girl who was secretly pining for him ever since the day they met.
Even though she was almost out of breath, Arisu sent him a wink before she was grabbed by Kei and Kikyo and pulled her towards them like an angry mob of rioters who had a bone to pick with their enemy.
While Arisu and Chiaki were questioned endlessly by the rest of the girls about kissing the brown-haired teen who was with them, Kiyotaka took it as an opportunity to slip away and sneak to the other side of the area, where he quietly took a shower on his own without being noticed.
"I thought I would hate how this day ends, but honestly? I'm confused and shocked more than anything else."
He took a few deep breaths to calm his heart that was beating fast from all the events that happened in such a short time. It was a good thing that the water from the shower was just as warm as the one in the onsen, and it helped him relax even further.
Right as he was about to wash his own body, he then noticed something different in his nether regions down there...
"Great. Just great..."
Kiyotaka groaned to himself as he noticed the tent that formed underneath the towel he wore around his lower body. He was only lucky that no one saw it, otherwise he would either be teased, the girls would accuse him of being a pervert, or something worse.
Well, in the end, absolutely no one could blame him for having a boner. Being completely alone in a bath with nine women who had nothing but towels on would definitely do things to you. That's not even taking into account what he did while he was here, which involved washing their backs and sharing kisses with Chiaki and Arisu, both of which were very different experiences.
Also, he could only hope that he gets through this situation with his sanity intact. Matsushita and Sakayanagi have gone ahead and kissed him in front of everyone else, who's to say that Kushida won't do the same? Karuizawa? Horikita? Hell, maybe even Chabashira-sensei or Ichinose!
"I have to put up with this for the rest of my life now, huh..." he thought while trying his best to calm his bulge down there before the girls notice his missing presence and see him.
His only chance of getting out of here without anything else happening is to stay calm and put his foot down. It might cause the system to act and have it happen otherwise, but it was worth a shot.
"This is crazy, but I suppose it could have been crazier."
He's right about one thing, though.
It's about to get crazier.
