[Scum’s Side]

“Hmm. As expected, the humanities department is hopeless. It’s full of air-headed sluts with loose morals and even looser bodies. There’s not a single pure, innocent woman truly worthy of me.”

On a typical day in June, my voice echoed through the bustling university café during lunch, just as the air conditioning began to kick in. The sluts eavesdropping on my conversation shot me looks of contempt, as if I were trash. I heard tongues clicking and even someone muttering, “Wish he’d just drop dead.”

How pathetic. These women react so crudely just because they know they’re not worthy of me. I almost feel sorry for them. If any of them gave me 100,000 yen, I might consider sleeping with them.

My name is Kuzuryu Ouji, a second-year student at W University. To properly introduce myself, the word ‘genius’ is indispensable. They say heaven doesn’t bestow two gifts, but unfortunately, there are exceptions to every rule. I was born as a cheat character, without the need for any isekai reincarnation.

My looks? Absolutely stunning. My long eyelashes are noticeable from a distance, and my eyes are sharp and predatory. With a high nose, almost Westerner-like, each of my features is chiseled to near perfection. 

My 180 cm height, slender yet beautifully toned muscles, make my body almost like a work of art. I can hold a woman roughly or embrace her tenderly, depending on what the situation calls for.

Sure, you might find a guy with looks—though none quite like mine. But a man with both genius intellect and superhuman athletic abilities like mine likely doesn’t exist in this world.

This is what I call the ‘romantic hierarchy,’ boys. 

“Oi, virgin prince. You keep spouting crap like that, no wonder you’re still a virgin.” 

The guy with glasses in front of me had the nerve to say such a rude thing to me, a ‘genius’. His name is Kyougoku Michikazu, my childhood friend since elementary school. I call him Kazu.

Sadly, though, Kazu’s abilities and looks are utterly average. Compared to me, it’s almost pitiful. Yet somehow, he has a girlfriend and I don’t.

He’s a despicable guy who prioritizes his lust over his dear best friend. Honestly, he should be ashamed of himself. And eating her handmade bento in the cafe? Have some sense of decorum.

“Kazu, you’ve got it all wrong. I’m a virgin by choice. It’s not like I can’t find someone—there just isn’t a woman worthy of carrying my supreme genes.”

“Didn’t you say before entering university that you’d hook up with some girls to gain experience? Actually, didn’t you say the same thing when we entered high school?”

Kazu said with an exasperated look. Admittedly, I did say that.

Back when I was about to enter high school, I assumed all high school girls were horny bitches constantly in heat, ready to chase after a high-spec guy like me. And when I got to university, I thought university girls were insatiable fools who weren’t satisfied with the pleasures of alcohol and social media and constantly craved sexual pleasure.

I believed that a perfect being like me was their ideal man. That they’d bow down and beg, “Please sleep with me!” as I walked through campus.

But reality was different.

High school and college girls weren’t nearly as promiscuous as I’d imagined. According to trusted sources, you need to go on several dates before they’ll even consider sleeping with you.

++Why++ should someone like ++me++ have to spend such time and effort just to sleep with a single woman? And it gets worse. Even after all that effort, the women I’d end up with wouldn’t be that impressive. 

That’s why I’m looking for either sluts who’ll come to me without me putting any effort, or women who are exceptional enough to be worth my time and resources. In other words, I’m not some poor soul stuck being a virgin—I’m walking this path by choice.

“Hmph. Secondhand women aren’t worth it. I’m holding out for a traditional Yamato Nadeshiko. A woman who guards her chastity, who’s never been in a relationship, and blushes just from holding hands.”

“You might want to look up ‘traditional’ in a dictionary,” Kazu replied, sounding completely disinterested as he popped a sausage into his mouth with chopsticks while scrolling through his phone.

“Besides,” he added, pointing his chopsticks at me, “any woman who’d go for a frivolous guy like you probably isn’t a Yamato Nadeshiko (lol).”

“You fool! What part of me is frivolous? It’s rash to judge my handsomeness as frivolous. High-level women seek high-level men. A perfect beauty preserves her virginity until a man of her level appears. Women who are beautiful, graceful, ladylike, support her man, and are virgin in both body and mind exist! They are waiting to be embraced by me!”

Kazu sighed heavily from across the table. He’d just finished his girlfriend’s homemade lunch, muttered a quick “Itadakimasu,” and neatly packed the empty bento box.

Clearly, he wasn’t planning on waiting for me to finish my meal.

With no other choice, I quickly shoved down the rest of my curry and followed Kazu out of the cafeteria.

As we left the cafeteria and headed to our next class, Kazu suddenly turned to me as if he’d remembered something.

“Hey, Ouji, so you’re not interested in that girl? The so-called ‘Princess of the Literature Department’?”

“The ‘Princess of the Literature Department’? Are you saying there’s actually a woman at this university with a title fitting for me?”

Kazu gave me a look more surprised than I’d seen all day. ++Is she really that famous…?++

++A princess… A princess, huh? That means she’s a virgin, right? If she’s virgin, then—++

“Damn! I need to take her virginity quickly! It’s too pitiful for her to still be a virgin in university!”

“…A virgin is talking about taking someone’s virginity. Seriously?”

He gave me a cold look and added a rude remark, but I ignored it.

++I need to quickly book a hotel room and think of a name for our child. I wonder if she will understand my grand vision of spreading my supreme genes to as many exceptional women as possible.++ 

“Siri, tell me the best hotels to bestow my supreme genes upon.” 

**”I’m sorry, I didn’t quite catch that.”**

“How far did your imagination go in that instant…?” 

++This is bad. Thinking about the future has made my genes go wild, and the heat in my groin won’t cool down.. I need to release them to where they belong soon…++

“Alright! I’m going to meet this so-called princess right now. If we don’t head to the hotel soon, we’ll miss the 7 PM curfew. Who knows what terrible punishment we’ll face if we break it…!”

“Calm down. I’m also against breaking curfew, but you can meet her after classes. And no woman’s gonna go straight to a hotel with a guy she’s just met…probably.”

“But this is ++me++, we’re talking about! Just one look at my face and she’ll be completely smitten!”

Kazu somehow managed to calm me down.

++…Fine. Pleasure comes after fulfilling my duties as a student.++ I suppressed my excited genes with reason and headed to the classroom with Kazu. 

On the way, he muttered something, barely loud enough to catch.

“Maybe if Ouji meets her, he will finally get a reality check.”

**[Bitch’s Side]**

“I should’ve gone to K University, not W… Every single guy here is ugly, stupid, and probably broke. I don’t sense any high-specs worthy of me.”

My lovely voice echoed through the university café. The low-level, ugly men and women, mesmerized by my beauty, cuteness, and nobility, cast envious glances my way. I could hear their sighs and jealous whispers, things like, “Hope she gets what’s coming to her.”

Honestly, it’s a shame these nobodies don’t realize that simply being able to look at me is the only blessing in their lives. It’s tragic. People like them will never even get the chance to make eye contact with me. Their crude reactions only reflect how miserable their lives are. How sad. If any of them offered me 100,000 yen, I might give them a wink.

My name is Michihara Miki, a second-year student at W University. To describe my existence, the word ‘miracle’ is indispensable. They say that “Even the greatest beast has flaws,” but it seems God enjoys playing tricks in every era. I’ve been a ‘miraculous’ being since birth. I’ve overflowed with every possible ability since I was born, to the extent that the word ‘effort’ could be used as a tissue and thrown in the trash.

My face is like one that appears once in a hundred million years. Snow-white skin, a face the size of a man’s fist, luscious and glossy lips, melancholic and defined eyes—each feature is a ‘miracle’ in itself. At first glance, I look like a princess from some foreign land.

I’m almost 165 cm tall with an F-cup chest—a divine body that puts glamor models to shame. If anyone were ever lucky enough to accidentally touch my flawless skin, they’d probably never wash their hands again.

A person of my caliber won’t appear again in this century—or even the next. You might find a lesser version, but a ‘miraculous’ woman with a brilliant mind, who can win a gold medal at an international violin competition? There’s only me.

This is reality, ladies who rely on camera filters.

“Totally, right? Bitc… I mean, Miki-chan would probably date a doctor or something.”

“Yeah, She doesn’t seem interested in her classmates. She’d probably go out with an older guy.‘

“Wow, that’s amazing. I’m jealous.”

A group of three women sat in front of me were chatting about me without even looking my way. I can’t remember their names, so I’ll just call them B-ko, B-mi, and B-na for now. These Bs Uglies always hang around me.

Not that I’ve ever asked them to; they just cling to me. Ever since I was young, hyena-like women who wanted to pick up the scraps of my beauty have flocked around me.

It used to make me feel good, like a princess, but now I finally understand. They just badmouth me behind my back, and if something were to happen, they’d never help me.

They’re truly pathetic. Congrats on getting the attention of those worthless guys I’d never even look at. If they think they can use me, I won’t show them any mercy. I’ll keep asserting my superiority until their spirits break.

“Miki-chan, all your bags are designer brands, right? Don’t you have more money than you need?”

B-mi looked at me with a greedy gaze. Even without adornment, I’m many times more beautiful than any diamond. But since I have the option, I wear high-end accessories that complement my perfect beauty. Sometimes I replace items weekly, so there’s a never-ending stream of Bs who want my accessories. B-mi is probably trying to get some of them. Not that wearing them would do her any good. It’s like putting pearls on a pig.

“Yes, my father’s a company president, and we’re wealthy. Plus, the ATMs—oops, I mean the guys who cling to me always spend on me, so I’m never short on money. You might not understand, but money is something you can never have enough of. Besides, a perfect beauty like me couldn’t possibly be with a man who struggles financially. Hehe.”

Bs responded with “Oh” and “Wow,” but I knew. They were on the verge of snapping. 

“Looks, family background, wealth, athleticism, sincerity… and absolute obedience to me. These are the minimum requirements for any man I’d consider dating. The number of fools who believe they can date me without meeting these standards? It’s ridiculous. They really underestimate the ‘miraculous’ Michihara Miki-sama. Don’t you think?”

The Bs gave me half-hearted replies, and the atmosphere fell silent as I finished the shake I bought earlier. There was still time until my appointment, but maybe I’d just go home. As I let out a cute yawn, I heard a commotion behind me.

The sudden commotion caught my attention, and I instinctively turned around.

And there he was—a super handsome man at the level of once in a hundred million years.

I could tell he had a toned physique even through his clothes. His chiseled features made him look half foreign, and his perfectly styled blond hair. Above all, he was so tall that I had to crane my neck to look up at him.

He wasn’t decked out in designer brands head-to-toe, but those in the know could easily tell his shoes, watch, and belt were from ultra-luxury labels. From this distance, I could faintly smell what might be Bvlgari’s cologne.

The incredibly high-spec man confidently walked toward me. When he reached me, he murmured a “Hmm,” and then, looking down, he spoke.

“So you’re the ‘Princess of the Literature Department,’ huh… I see. You’re definitely on a different level from other women. A beauty like a ‘miracle.’” 

With that, he suddenly knelt before me, placing a hand over his heart, and spoke with absolute confidence.

“You may have already heard of me, but I’m the ‘genius’ of our time, Kuzuryu Ouji.”

My heart was pounding. His face, his voice, his style—everything was exactly how I’d dreamed my ideal man to be. No man had ever made my heart race like this before. 

But as soon as this handsome guy appeared, I felt a sudden change in the atmosphere around the Bs. They whispered just loud enough for me to hear.

“Ugh… there he is.” 

“Isn’t that the infamous scum?” 

“Finally, a meeting between them?”

++Could they be jealous because they know they’ll never get his attention? I really am a sinful beauty who can captivate even men like him. Maybe he’s my destined partner. ++

I swallowed hard and stared at him down. I had to carefully judge whether this Kuzuryu guy was truly worthy of standing next to a ‘miracle’ Michihara Miki-sama!

“Ouji! Why are you going off on your own…? You’re acting like a total weirdo.” 

“What are you talking about? Every woman in this world would consider it an honor to be spoken to by me, even if she were about to fall off a cliff.”

“Maybe you should work on reading the room a bit better.” 

“Kazu, just stay quiet and watch. This is how you woo a woman.”

Then he turned his back at me, about to say something— 

“You’re—”

“What’s your nearest train station?” I interrupted. 

Perhaps not expecting me to cut him off, he hesitated for a moment before answering, “Uh, S-Seijogakuen-mae… but—”

“Single-family home?”

“Uh… y-yes.”

“What do your parents do?”

“Both of them are doctors.”

“Do they run their own clinic?”

“No, they’re freelancers…”

“How much can you spend on me… I mean, how much can you spend?”

“Huh? Uh, I haven’t really thought about it… maybe around 30,000 yen?”

“That’s it? Couldn’t you spend more if you wanted to? Don’t you have a part-time job?” 

“Well, I could spend more if I wanted to. But, I’ve never had a part-time job before.”

“Hmm…” 

++I see, so, his family has a decent amount of money. There’s still a lot to figure out, but if I had to rate him: 95 points for looks, 70 points for wealth. He’s worth keeping around for now.++

So, I gave him my most beautiful smile—the kind that captivates everyone who sees it, a goddess-like smile.

Perhaps mesmerized by it, he looked away and cleared his throat before speaking again.

“++Ahem…++ Well, I understand you’re interested to know more about me, a perfect being. But there’s no point in asking about my family. I’m a ‘genius-level’ mutation, even within my own family.”

“Eh… really?”

“Of course. Being with me practically guarantees your happiness.”

++This is it! It’s finally happening! Finally… now I can—++

“But anyway,” he continued.

Just as my heart was pounding with excitement, he raised himself from his kneeling position and looked me directly in the eye with a somewhat sad and irritated expression.

“Hmm… I know that look. It’s the face of someone desperately holding it together.”

Our faces were so close now that I could almost kiss him just by leaning in a bit. Through his glassy eyes, I saw my own ++perfect++ smile reflected back at me.

“++Sigh…++ It’s clear you’ve been forcing yourself for a long time. Your beautiful ‘miraculous’ face has become distorted. But don’t worry.”

Then, he placed his hand on my cheek, lifted my chin, and flashed a powerful smile, baring his white teeth.

“I will bring out your true beauty. So—be with me.”

“—”

The world stopped. I swallowed hard and looked at him—only him. I had no idea what the Bs or the guy in glasses behind him looked like anymore. 

All I could do was bite my trembling lower lip to stop it from shaking.

Seeing me like that, he smiled softly and said, “Someday, I’ll make you show your real smile—the ‘miraculous’ smile.”

Then, he stood up fully, once again looking down at me.

“Before that, I’d like to ask you something.”

“Y-yes… I don’t mind.”

I could barely get the words out. My heart was racing so fast I could hardly breathe. I was desperately holding my body still, trying to stop it from trembling. My cheeks were burning, and the world around me was a blur and all other sounds around me faded away.

He ran a hand through his golden hair, flashing the same flawless smile that must’ve smitten many women before me. Then, in a deep, heart-throbbing voice, he asked me the one question that would completely knock the wind out of me:

“Are you a virgin?”

**[Scum’s Side]**

“Are you a virgin?”

The moment I asked that question, it was as if the world had been plunged into silence.

Michihara Miki, the so-called ‘miraculous’ beauty standing before me, trembled. Her hands shook, her mouth opened and closed like a fish struggling for air, and her dry, desperate eyes darted around wildly.

It was probably the first time in her life that she had made such an expression.

Behind me, I could sense Kazu placing his hand on his forehead in exasperation.

++How rude… This question is absolutely necessary if we’re going to make a romantic contract.++ 

I couldn’t possibly accept that my partner wasn’t a virgin. The thought of my first time being with someone who isn’t a virgin is unbearable.

The woman in front of me is stunning. If ever there was a Yamato Nadeshiko—the ideal Japanese woman—it would be her. And above all, her breasts were large. Beautiful face, great figure… all that remained was to confirm her ++virginity.++

As I mulled over this, she finally seemed to calm herself. After several deep breaths, she nervously looked up at me, her expression still tense and she hesitantly asked.

“Um… is that really the kind of thing you ask someone you’ve just met?”

“Indeed. I don’t want to waste time on a woman who’s not a virgin. Sorry, but please answer me.”

“Eh, gross… I mean, um, I don’t really want to answer that… especially here…”

She blushed, looking down and fidgeting shyly.

++Ah, I see. She’s a virgin.++

The excitement in my genes, which I had been forcing down, began to stir, heating up at my groin. But as if to extinguish that heat, a plain, low-level woman—so insignificant I hadn’t even noticed her presence—interrupted.

“Hey, there’s no way a woman our age is still a virgin. Right, Miki-chan? You’ve been with plenty of guys, haven’t you?”

“Haha…” 

She forced out a nervous chuckle, clearly uncomfortable. Ignoring the ugly girl’s prattle, I turned back to the pure maiden in front of me with a smug grin.

“Hmm. Michihara Miki, I want to hear it directly from you. I can tell. You’re a virgin, aren’t you?”

“…I…”

“Come on, just say it. I want to hear the pure, sacred voice of a virgin.”

“There’s no way! Of course I’m ++not++ a virgin!”

Shaking all over, face bright red, eyes teary, she shouted so loudly that every passing student turned to look.

“…What?”

My throat went dry, and I couldn’t form any words.

++No way. Impossible…. There is no other man besides me who can hold a woman of her level. Then why…?++

“—You’re a ++slut!++”

“Huh?!”

She glared at me, still red-faced, her eyes filled with anger. But I couldn’t stop. No, I wouldn’t stop.

“So you’re just some low-class slut from the literature department. Ugh… filthy slut! What’s with everyone these days? You all have no hesitation when it comes to opening the gates to such sacred ground! There’s no way my supreme genes would enter a castle that’s already been bloodlessly conquered! Have some shame!”

Screams erupted around us. The woman nearby recoiled in horror. No, even the guys were backing away. Even Kazu was staring at me in shock. But I, trembling with righteous fury, had to say my piece.

The slut, Michihara Miki, looked completely stunned by my outburst. With that shocked expression still plastered on her face, she yelled back, her face bright red.

“Who are you calling a ‘slut’!? How could you spout virgin nonsense at the top of your lungs! There’s no way someone of my level would still be a virgin! Good women use good men to become even more beautiful!”

“Ah… how could this be…? It’s a loss for the world… I thought you could handle my supreme genes… but I was so wrong…”

“You’re the one who’s mistaken! I can’t believe you’re such a virgin-obsessed pervert…! I thought I’d finally met the one…”

Her last words were muttered so softly that only I could hear them. Then, glaring sharply at me, trembling and teary-eyed, she shouted.

“And enough with the ‘genes’! It’s so gross!”

“Ugh…”

“Honestly… I’m the one who wants to cry here…”

I couldn’t stop the tears. How pathetic am I? Even though I have such supreme genes and the right to choose any woman I want, just because I refuse to be with someone who isn’t a virgin, I have to remain a virgin myself…

“Hey, Ouji. It’s my fault. I’m really sorry. C’mon, let’s just go home, okay?”

Kazu patted my shoulder and whispered apologetically in my ear.

++Damn… Why? Why can’t I graduate from being a virgin yet…? ++

I mixed the emptiness in my heart, the huge sense of defeat, and feelings of anger, and threw the resulting emotions directly at the damn slut in front of me.

“Hey, slut! You’re going to regret throwing away your first time with some random trash! When you finally fall in love with someone for real, that careless decision is going to come back to haunt you! You’ll suffer, you filthy whore!”

“Shut up! Don’t shout such words at the top of your lungs, you idiot!

Kazu yanked my arm, dragging me through the crowd. As we moved away, the slut’s face remained flushed with rage, her eyes filled with the kind of hatred you’d expect from someone whose family had just been murdered.

++Why is she acting like the victim here? I’m the one who’s been betrayed and is suffering!++

As if to escape from her piercing glare and the contemptuous looks from those around us, Kazu dragged me—crying and limp—out of the literature department building.
