Volume 2 Chapter 23 A Basketball Player’s Conflict Broken Promises and Conflicted Desires
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”–We broke up!”
That’s what I told my senpais, sobbing and full of tears, just two months after I started dating Hayato.
* * *
Hayato had been my inspiration and my rival, a guy I was pushing myself against.
I played junior high basketball and went on to a strong high school team that always ranked high in the prefectural tournaments. That’s where I met Hayato.
As a freshman, he wasn’t a starting regular, but he was good enough to be on the bench and play as a substitute. I was in the same position, so maybe that’s why I felt a kind of connection to him.
Through training camps and other activities, I started spending time with the guys’ team, and that’s how I first actually talked to Hayato. He was serious about basketball, very diligent and stoic. His smile was kind of cute, but the way he shot and dribbled was definitely cool.
Around the time we became sophomores, Hayato suddenly got popular. I thought it was because I’d hit a sudden growth spurt myself, but there were all sorts of rumors, so I couldn’t really be sure. The only thing I was sure of was that he’d always been a genuinely handsome guy.
My opportunities to interact with Hayato grew: after-practice visits to the family restaurant, weekend karaoke, all kinds of dates.
My eyes were only fixed on Hayato, I swear.
I felt like maybe the other girls were falling for Hayato just like I was. But he never ended up dating anyone. I even let myself daydream, thinking, ‘Maybe he actually likes me? Is that why he’s waiting and not dating anyone?’
I was always too shy about romance, but I tried my best to look cute, keeping my hair nice and worrying about my scent.
* * *
In the summer of our junior year, right before the last tournament for the basketball club, I happened to be taking a break outside the gym and overheard something.
“Hey, Hayato, are you a big-chest or a small-chest guy?”
“…Big chest.”
“See! Like Suzukawa, right? She’s definitely an A-cup, though she’s got a cute face!”
“Aoi, huh. Yeah, she doesn’t have much of a chest, but–I–“
I knew. I knew it already. Most boys prefer bigger breasts.
But I didn’t want to hear the word “big-chest” come from the mouth of the guy I loved. In that moment, I just decided: I wasn’t the kind of girl Hayato would ever want. I finally understood that with a body this meager, he could never see me as a woman.
Why had I never confessed to Hayato all that time? Because I had no confidence in myself. I knew I didn’t have the charm to be seen as a woman, and that stopped me from confessing.
* * *
While carrying that deep heartache, I ran into a senior I respected again for the first time in a while. Rindou Hibiki-senpai.
She was cute, and she had a big chest; she had been so kind to me during the Cultural Festival Committee. The moment I saw her, I dove right into her generous chest. I was so jealous of that infuriatingly large size. I poured my heart out to her about my chest complex and everything with Hayato.
Then I heard about the ‘Gift’ I thought was completely unrelated to my life. Hibiki-senpai’s boyfriend had a skill that could enlarge breasts, and I instantly knew that was my only chance. I was hesitant about having my chest touched, but since I felt I couldn’t confess as I was, I begged them to perform the treatment.
Hibiki-senpai’s boyfriend–Takanashi Hirose-senpai–was shorter than Hayato, not nearly as handsome, and didn’t seem like a guy who played sports. He seemed gentle and mild-mannered… just a regular guy.
I know it sounds bad, but I didn’t think he was a good match for Hibiki-senpai. Anyone would think so. But despite all that, the way Hibiki-senpai looked at Hirose-senpai was with the eyes of a woman in love; I knew instantly that her feelings were real.
Was I like that around Hayato, too? I wondered if my love for him had been completely obvious to everyone.
The Recoil from the treatment was an otherworldly pleasure that took over my entire body. But even then, I played it strong and claimed I’d endured it.
Night after night, I would remember the feeling of Hirose-senpai touching my breasts, and while thinking of Hayato, I would comfort myself alone.
And after enduring the treatment…
”Haha… hahahaha… they’re getting bigger…!”
My chest had gone from an AAA-cup to a C-cup. I couldn’t quite believe it, rubbing my own breasts over and over until I finally accepted the truth. The soft, bouncy feeling was something I’d never had before. I was deeply moved, trembling as I thought, ‘This is a chest, these are breasts.’
* * *
Then came the middle school basketball tournament I’d longed for. We didn’t make it to the nationals, but my basketball life ended there with a fourth-place finish at the prefectural tournament, shedding tears alongside my teammates.
After quitting the club, I suddenly had more free time and emotional space. I knew this was my chance. I called Hayato to the park and, bracing myself, I confessed.
”I liked you too, Aoi.”
The daydream that he might like me had come true. I cried tears of joy, thinking, ‘Could anything really make me this happy?’
After we started dating, everything moved fast. I was the one who always initiated, so I must have seemed very bold to Hayato.
But gradually, I started to notice something was off.
* * *
”Hey, have you ever actually finished during s*x?”
I asked a friend who had a boyfriend.
”What’s up, Aoi? Are you telling me Hayato isn’t satisfying you?”
”N-no, not at all!”
She saw right through me, and I spilled everything. But even after I talked about it, nothing really changed.
One day, as that unsatisfactory intimacy continued, my body felt like it was hitting a limit. After s*x with Hayato, I’d comfort myself alone at night, and I’d eventually start thinking about the gentle Hirose-senpai. I knew it was wrong, but I couldn’t help it.
”Please… please make me feel good! I’m agonizing every single day… like this, I can’t focus on anything else! Just once… just once, please!” I begged.
Without realizing it, I had walked right to Hirose-senpai’s house and was pleading with him. I don’t remember anything right before that; I was just acting on the powerful impulse of my own body.
Hirose-senpai is Hibiki-senpai’s boyfriend. It was outrageous to ask him for that. But the throbbing in my body couldn’t be stopped.
Hirose-senpai and Hibiki-senpai looked troubled. However, they must have had similar cases before, because they even warned me, “You might not be able to turn back.”
”–Please… please ruin me…” I pleaded, desperate.
My panties were already soaked when I arrived at Hirose-senpai’s house.
*
I was utterly out of my mind, and I experienced s*x with someone other than Hayato for the very first time.
I was still dating Hayato, apparently. I never imagined that I, the girl who was purely focused on basketball, would do something like this. Was it because I rashly jumped at the easy idea of getting a bigger chest through a Gift?
Still, if my chest hadn’t grown, I never would have been able to confess. Either way, maybe Hayato and I were never meant to last.
Was it because I had an affair with Hirose-senpai? It felt like karma had come for me.
Around mid-October, I happened to see Hayato entering a female classmate’s house. If he’d been going in to hang out or for some errand, it would have been fine. But they were holding hands. I didn’t understand what was happening; I just stood there, frozen.
I found out later. Hayato had been worried about our s*x life. He knew I wasn’t feeling satisfied and had been trying to figure out how to please me. That part was actually sweet. But the next part was the problem.
The person Hayato had gone to for advice was a popular, ‘fast’ girl in class, rumored to change boyfriends often. I started digging for information, and a lot came to light.
Because Hayato had carelessly let slip details about our intimacy, the girl reportedly said, “I’ll teach you the method to make a girl feel good.” Hayato initially refused but eventually relented, thinking it would help me. He was taken in by her sincere-sounding offer. His earnestness was exploited, and he fell for her. It might have been because she had a bigger chest than me.
I was new to s*x, too, and I don’t know if I was satisfying Hayato. We’d only been dating for about two months; we lacked communication in many areas.
As it turned out, we both had been cheating. I never told Hayato about my affair, but I found out about his. Our fate was sealed.
”Why…!? We just started dating…! I still love you, Aoi!” he desperately insisted.
”I do too… I love you, Hayato, I really do…” I confessed, tears welling up.
We both still loved each other, but we had both done something wrong. Our hearts were connected by words, but our bodies were not.
–We broke up.
Hayato didn’t want to end it until the very last moment, but that’s when I dropped the name. The name of the girl he had slept with. The moment I said her name, cold sweat broke out on Hayato’s forehead, confirming everything I had discovered.
”I’m sorry… but even so, I still love you, Aoi.”
Those were his final words, and then I parted ways with Hayato.
In the end, it was my fault. I didn’t notice his affection, and I only focused on my chest complex. I relied on the Gift’s Effect, couldn’t handle the Recoil, and found pleasure in Hirose-senpai’s touch.
I’m happy my breasts got bigger. Without that, I wouldn’t have had the courage to confess or date Hayato.
I cried hard for a week, and then I decided to get over it.
”–We broke up!”
I said, having arrived at Hirose-senpai’s house. I actually started to cry a little again after saying it out loud. Hibiki-senpai was there, too, with a complicated look, but she didn’t deny me; she just hugged me tightly.
”This is partly my fault for inviting you, Aoi-chan. So, I’ll take responsibility where I can.”
”It’s okay. In the end, I made the decision,” I insisted.
”You’re two years younger than me… you’re strong, Aoi-chan.”
”I’m weak! That’s why I’m burying my face in your chest right now, Hibiki-senpai.”
I leaned into my always-kind senpai. Hirose-senpai watched from beside us, his gaze endlessly gentle. These two people… they were just like that. Kind seniors who faced their mistakes and dealt with them.
”So, how about we have some fun and feel good today?”
”‘Have some fun’? That’s a strange way to put it. It’s not a party,” I murmured.
”Fufu, you’re right. But you came here with that intention, didn’t you, now that you’re free?”
”…Yes,” I whispered, resigned.
After breaking up with Hayato, I couldn’t think of anyone but Hirose-senpai and Hibiki-senpai. That’s why I came all the way to their house, both to report the news and to seek them out.
”Hirose.”
”Yeah. …Come over here, Aoi-chan,” Hirose-senpai invited.
”Okay…”
Led by Hibiki-senpai and Hirose-senpai, I got onto the bed.
I took off my shirt myself, revealing the breasts he had enlarged for me.
”Aoi-chan, you’re beautiful and cute, and you’re my precious junior.”
”Yeah. I think so too. So, if anything else comes up, please talk to us,” Hirose-senpai assured me.
”Senpais…!” I choked out.
They moved closer to me as I lay down in the bed with them. Now, my chest was nothing to be ashamed of. The seniors gently touched me. And they took all my complicated feelings, quite literally, into their bodies, soothing them and working them out–.

Summary:
Following a heart-wrenching breakup with Hayato, precipitated by mutual infidelity and Aoi’s deepening insecurity about her body, the young woman seeks solace. The chapter concludes with Aoi making an emotionally raw confession to her kind seniors, Hibiki and Hirose, the latter having used his unique Gift to enhance her body.

The Gift’s Recoil proves to be the catalyst for her new path.

Character Insight:
Aoi’s journey is a conflicted one, moving from a focused basketball player to a woman driven by intense, overwhelming desire. Her obsession with the Gift-enhanced C-cup breasts highlights a deep lack of self-worth that no external change could fix. Despite her initial sincerity with Hayato, the physical pleasure and emotional safety offered by Hirose and Hibiki provided a release she couldn’t find elsewhere, underscoring her vulnerability and emotional immaturity in the face of romantic relationships.
—
Behind the Scene:
The breakup between Aoi and Hayato was inevitable; both were inexperienced and lacked the communication to sustain their relationship, especially with the emotional and physical intensity of the Gift’s side effect (Recoil) driving Aoi’s choices. Hayato’s well-meaning but naive attempt to seek s*xual advice from another girl sealed their fate. The final scene establishes a new, complex dynamic: a polyamorous relationship built on compassion and shared physical pleasure as a coping mechanism for Aoi’s heartbreak.
Notes:
• Rindou Hibiki – Hirose’s cheerful, bold classmate who is the first to request his Beauty skill. Hibiki (F, pink bob hair, 158cm, F-cup) is outgoing, expressive about her interests, and quickly becomes Hirose’s girlfriend after an explicitly intimate scene. Her reactions help set the adult tone of the story.
