“Next one’s coming in.”
Risa, clutching her change of clothes, scurried off toward the changing room.
Risa ran away!!
“Well, guess I’ll get to work too.”
▶︎ I ran away.
“I won’t let you escape, you know?”
But she’d flanked me!!
“Put your clothes on!!”
Since Mei-chan was in her underwear, I frantically looked away.
“I’m wearing this because I’m not embarrassed for Rai-san to see me like this.”
“Don’t say that so confidently…”
I’ve had a girlfriend before, but that was back in middle school. Naturally, I’m still a virgin.
A virgin like me can’t look directly at a girl in her underwear.
You mean you just glance around?
Then can you guys stare straight at a woman you suddenly started living with—a complete stranger—in her underwear?
I can’t. The author can’t either.
“Why are you looking away?! Look at me properly!”
“Can you even stare?! Put some clothes on properly!”
“Mmm… But these are my lucky underwear…”
“There’s nothing to compete over.”
“True, the competition happens in bed, right?”
“No way.”
“I don’t want Rai san to dislike me, so I’ll obediently put on my pajamas…”
She hurried off to the changing room and returned in less than 30 seconds, wearing cat-ear pajamas.
“Ta-da! Kittie here!”
“Eh… Cute.”
“~~~~♡”
I couldn’t help but blurt out at how adorable she looked.
The thin hoodie with white cat ears made her look different from the neat, black-haired Mei-chan before her bath, bringing out her cuteness.
“Ugh, you’re just naturally good at complimenting girls ♡♡ Come on, let’s go to bed!”
“Don’t tempt me, don’t tempt me.”
“Well then, let’s pause the chit-chat for now and have a serious talk.”
I really hoped this was a joke.
“I confirmed that Risa-nee went into the bath.”
These girls really don’t want others to hear about this.
“The story about middle school that you were just talking about with her? That’s pure trauma for her.”
“So you know about it, Mei-chan?”
“Of course. That’s exactly why I was so surprised to see her chatting so familiarly with Rai-san face-to-face.”
“What happens when it’s not me?”
“She faints within a minute.”
“You’re kidding me!!??”
“…Unfortunately, it’s true. I suppose to her, you’re someone she feels incredibly safe around.”
She’s mixing in jokes normally, but that’s rare for her.
Is that how she is with close people?
“I’ve never seen her act that spaced out before either.”
“I don’t think her speech or voice sounded weird though.”
“Unfortunately, it seems those around her didn’t see it that way. That’s why there was a period where she shut herself in the house completely, rejecting everyone except me and our family.”
It was that bad…
So Risa’s past when she was spaced out was that intense…
“If possible, I’d like you to stay friends with Risa nee forever.”
“…Of course. She is my partner, after all.”
“It’s only in the game though… In reality, it’s me.”
That last line was whispered too softly for me to hear.
What did she say…?
