1. Finally, the day came.
2. I couldn't sleep, and woke up early.
3. "Maybe I should've gone with something a little more feminine... (I don't have anything)"
4. I'd already pretty much figured out what I was going to wear.
11. I'd have to say I agree with them on that.
16. "Like this?"
18. I learned afterwards that yeah, men's clothes and a lack of make-up are kinda frowned upon (amongst girls who like girls).
लोड हो रहा है…लोड हो रहा है…
1. I'd only just resolved to go, but immediately felt like I'd already dug myself into a deep and inescapable hole.
2. I'd given up on living a real life for such a long time, I didn't have any clothes.
3. In the end, worst came to worst and I borrowed money from my mother to pay the prostitute.
4. "Lend me 10,000 yen...?"
5. "...Mum,"
6. Also the temporary income I'd been relying on turned out to be less than I'd thought...
7. It's not like I'm going out to have fun. This is money for something important... Something I have to go and do... I thought to myself.
9. But I honestly didn't feel so guilty about it.
10. And to venture into these places I'd always thought were wrong, this was what I had to do.
11. To affirm all these things I'd been unable to affirm about myself...
लोड हो रहा है…लोड हो रहा है…
1. How did I even get here.
2. "How do I even prepare myself for this?"
3. "Hmm,"
4. "Wow, I don't really know what that means."
5. She'll do all kinds of things I've never had done to me before.
6. I'm going to meet up with someone I've never met, go with her to my first love hotel,
7. Then figured I'd set off a little early.
8. So I did nothing but check my phone all day,
9. Finally on the precipice of having my biggest wish come true...
10. As I stood on the platform waiting for my train,
1. "...wish I had friends..."
2. "I..."
3. ...for some reason, out of nowhere.
4. I thought to myself.
5. I just headed straight there.
6. I'd set off early, so I arrived around ten minutes before we'd arranged to meet.
7. "Excuse me... Nagata-san...?"
8. "Ah,"
1. "Ya-ay!"
2. "...Yeah."
3. "Ahh~ I'm glad I could find you so quickly!"
4. "Nice to meet you, my name's Yuka~!"
5. "Ah,"
6. "Yeah, me too."
7. "I'm looking forward to spending time with you today~!"
1. I'm actually here. I actually met up with her...!
2. "Wahhhhhhhh..."
3. Then we just started walking.
4. She seems easy to talk to as well. Maybe even I could find something to say to her.
5. I'm glad she introduced herself so cheerfully, things would've been pretty awkward otherwise...
6. "Ah,"
7. "This place 'XX' is pretty close by, so..."
8. "Have you decided on a hotel?"
9. They were renovating.
10. "Seems they're having some work done, doesn't it?"
11. "Ah, this is it... But they might be..."
12. "Hmm?"
1. But they were still open.
2. "Ah, it's open."
3. "We still good?"
4. "...Are they open?"
6. My first moments entering my first love hotel.
7. "Welcome!"
8. This automatic welcome sound (the track was skipping).
9. This place is kinda old. Sorry.
10. "Welcome!"
11. And it didn't disappoint, but...
12. I'd searched around for an older place with online galleries because I liked the way they looked...
13. "Whooooaaaa..."
14. When we passed a couple in the hallway, it felt so distinct and real.
1. Right now me and this person are going to... We're going to...
2. "You know what kind of place this is, don't you?"
3. Whaa-, it's one of those love hotel things!
4. "Which should we go with?"
5. I went with that one.
6. "Well, let's go with it anyway."
7. "Eh?"
8. What's up with this one, it's so white...
9. One of the rooms was this striking white, simple room that almost made you wonder about it.
10. It wasn't an automated system. The old lady handed us our key-card.
1. "Ta Da~"
2. "Ah, ok!"
3. "I'll start getting the bath ready, all right?"
4. "It's my first time."
5. "But with other girls, have you ever...?"
6. "Yes."
7. "Is it your first time with someone like me?"
8. While the water was filling up, she asked me about my sexuality, and past experiences.
1. "Any stuff with boys?"
2. "None."
3. "Nothing at all."
4. It's the first time I've been in a love hotel.
5. "I've never been on a date."
6. "I'll leave that up to you!"
7. "Is there anything in particular you're interested in doing?"
8. "Wow! It's kind of an honor!"
9. "Ah, really!?"
10. Even if I had requests, I couldn't just come out and say them like that...!
11. "Wonder if the bath's ready~"
12. I realized it wouldn't be so easy to just switch into things like this after 28 years spent thinking 'Sex = Bad'.
1. To be honest I'd been looking forward to this part ever since I read about it on their website.
3. "Come in-!"
4. Getting into the bath together!
5. "Your hands are co~old!"
6. She washed my arms for me,
7. Then after a while we got into the bath, and she sat embracing me from behind.
8. "Ah... No, I don't..."
9. "I guess I don't... There's nobody like that..."
10. "Do you have any crushes?"
11. "Crush-es...!!?"
1. "What made you want to come today?"
2. "Ehm..."
3. "I'm not great at connecting with other people, and I don't really expect to date anyone in the future."
4. "So I thought maybe just once I'd like to try this..."
5. It's all true, but actually putting everything into words....
6. Even I have to wonder about how it makes me look as a person.
7. "Ah, so that's why~"
8. "Well, it took a lot of courage for you to come then, didn't it!"
9. She complimented me
10. "Today's just our little secret, so you can just relax..."
11. "and enjoy yourself, ok?"
12. "Ah, if you want to touch me anywhere, feel free."
13. "I only tend to lean Tachi, I'm really more Liba."
14. Apparently there are 'Bari-Tachi' girls (who only like the Tachi role) who don't take off their own clothes, or let themselves be touched at all...
1. And finally...
2. "Go ahead and lay down~"
3. Finally, it was here.
4. "Nfufu ♡"
1. And so her beautiful, beaming smile was met with this indescribable expression.
2. Cursed by my lack of day to day human interaction, I didn't know how my face should look...
3. "My face... It isn't moving right."
4. "Like I can't settle on any one expression..."
5. "!"
6. "This is..."
7. I don't know if the woman on top of me had realized,
8. But that
9. Was the first time anyone had kissed me.
1. "Mnhh"
2. "Nh"
3. The sum of my knowledge
4. Boys Love
5. So soft...
6. "Nh"
7. Her lips aren't soft at all...!
8. They're hard...
9. There were 28 years worth of expectations to live up to, after all.
10. "......"
11. My expectations might've been too high for this moment, too.
1. Yeah, I have no idea how I'm supposed to react to any of this.
2. This was rolling around in my head as she was on top of me.
3. (This being the standard by which I'm judging whether it's going well or not.)
4. But aside from my reaction, isn't this totally some cliche erotic doujin scene?
5. But if I'm reacting to it wrong, maybe this isn't going well at all...?
6. But wait,
7. "Aside from my reaction"...?
8. but I couldn't figure out how to respond to them.
9. She was making all these sounds for me,
10. "Haah"
11. "Nnh"
12. "Nh"
13. "Haa"
14. I can just barely handle normal conversations with other people...
15. Why did I suddenly think I'd be fine in a place like this?
16. Why...
1. Maybe I'm trying some really, really high level stuff (advanced communication)?
2. Right now,
3. "I'm scared of the ball!"
4. Like someone who can't catch or speak English suddenly trying to play Major League Baseball.
5. And suddenly found myself in the grand finals...
8. Like i'd skipped over all the normal human interactions that people should go through first,
9. But maybe it's all just too much.
10. Ahhh, I thought I could handle this,
1. It's too late for...
2. It's not like realizing all this would make me better at communicating all of a sudden,
3. "!!!"
1. This might help...!!
2. Don't give in...!
4. Concen-trate...
7. In the end, it didn't help at all.
8. ...or so I thought.
1. "..."
2. I was already starting to think I might be done for.
3. Like in ero-doujins!
4. "..."
6. I guess they were able to open up a little more.
7. It was the best I think I've ever felt!
9. I remembered back to the reviews I'd read before I came.
10. My legs were twitching, I had no idea it would be so intense!
11. It was unforgettable...
12. I don't know... As a person I'm just not working right or something.
13. Anxiety about -> interacting with people
14. I'm just...
15. "I can't take it anymore, it's too hard..."
16. "I'm sorry..."
1. "You ok? It doesn't hurt?"
2. I wasn't paying attention.
3. "Damn."
5. "Eh."
6. "You ever put anything inside yourself...?"
7. "Huh?"
8. "...?"
9. I wasn't just being embarrassed here, I really never had.
10. I'm not even sure where I would...
11. "Hmm~? I just got the feeling you had, but..."
12. "Never..."
1. "Eh... it can't be!"
2. "It isn't here."
3. "Huh?"
4. "...?"
5. "...Your hymen...?"
6. Have you forgotten the 28 years we spent together, hymen? Not that I really care, but...
7. "...?"
9. "I wonder~?"
10. "How!?"
11. Like she was looking for a lost wallet or something.
12. "Ehh~ It's not over here ~"
13. Eventually there wasn't any romance left, she just spent a while looking for my hymen.
14. "Ouehhhhh!"
15. "Nghh."
16. I was overcome with this oppressive feeling, and started getting nauseous.
1. Then she made something up to put me at ease.
2. Why'd she think I'd been breathing so heavily, anyway?
3. "Mh?"
4. "Here...?"
5. "Ehhhh!!!"
6. "Just to try it?"
7. "...You want to try putting your fingers inside of me?"
8. I'm scared... I don't want to do that, it sounds terrifying.
9. "Want to try it for just a second?"
10. "Just for a second,"
11. I should've just said 'I'm scared, so let's just stop', but...
12. "......"
13. I can't exactly say 'Nah I'm not really interested in fingering you' in a way that won't sound rude.
1. I guess my body language took care of that for me.
2. "......"
3. "...Want to stop?"
4. Getting seeded straight into the finals, just as feared, I felt like I was being beaten to a pulp.
5. That I'd opened a treasure chest, and found that it was empty.
6. "Ehh, it's empty!?"
8. That's why I felt... Or maybe this is just the same for everyone,
9. "Touch me."
10. "!"
1. But I don't feel like any of it's real, like all this is taking place somewhere else.
2. "Haa."
3. "Nh."
4. This should all be incredible to me.
5. "Ah."
6. "Nhh."
7. I don't feel like I'm touching someone else's body.
8. "Mhh, that's right."
9. "Sit down."
10. "?"
11. Her breasts and her whole body were right there in front of me, and I couldn't touch her anywhere.
1. Am I going to die like this? Only ever having touched my mother's breasts...? The thought upset me.
2. I wanted to touch her so badly, but...
3. My whole body was frozen.
4. I couldn't reach my arms around her back.
5. "I... I can't move my arms..."
6. It didn't feel like any of this was happening in the real world, like I was watching someone else walking around in my body from the outside.
1. I just want this to be over before it gets any worse...
2. It's not fair on her for me to be like this, and we aren't getting anywhere.
3. I'm "kind"...?
4. "Heheh, you're really kind, aren't you XX-chan?"
5. They let you use a pseudonym.
6. (I used nagata xx)
7. I'm not kind at all.
8. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
9. No I'm not.
10. "Ah."
1. "It's probably the 15 minute reminder call."
2. "All right~"
3. "Ah, thank you."
4. "Hi~"
5. "Hello?"
6. ...It's over.
7. "Thanks for calling."
8. "Why don't we take a bath?"
9. "Well,"
1. "There's so much more to look forward to~"
2. "I guess not right now, huh~"
3. "Is there anything you want to ask?"
4. "No..."
5. "I'm sleepy..!"
6. "I don't think I'll ever get the chance to do things like this again..."
7. "You'll have so many different experiences..."
8. "There's a lot that can be hard to understand."
9. "It's a big world out there,"
10. "I hope you can be happy~!"
11. "Even in your private life, outside of today..."
12. I'm sorry. Thank you...
13. But I was so grateful for the words of encouragement she gave me...
14. I knew she'd realized I hadn't been able to really open up my heart to her,
1. She'd been so kind and gentle with me. I wonder why I wasn't able to respond to any of it.
2. "It was 19000 Yen, right?"
3. "Ah, yeah."
4. "Feel free to stop by again~"
5. If it had been any other girl, I imagine this whole experience would've been a disaster.
6. I paid her the money.
7. "Oh, thanks~!"
8. "It's 19000 exactly."
9. But she kindly walked me back to the station.
10. Given the way I'd been, she could've just left,
1. Friends...
2. "We just look like any old friends now!"
3. "Ahh, hey it's like~"
4. I wish I had friends...
5. Ahh.
6. "Thanks for today~!"
7. "Thank you so much."
8. But with my heart still closed tight, all her well meaning feelings and actions just went spilling out onto the carpet.
9. She was so nice,
10. I turned, and descended the stairs into the train station.
