“I understand what you said. It would be good if you could make up properly.”

“There’s no way we can make up. I am afraid to see Shizuku. I can’t stand it when she looks at me coldly like that again.”

“……”

“She said she was shocked that I lied to her. Even if I try my best to apologize, she might not forgive me.”

Saying that it’s not like that would only make her feel better.

Unless Otsuki-san and Asahina-san talk properly, this matter won’t be resolved. There is only one thing I have to do.

“Huh….?”

Asahina-san holds her head down. her face is reddening and her expression is also sullen.

“Do you have a thermometer?”

“There.”

I opened the drawer and handed the thermometer to Asahina-san. I asked her to take her temperature and look at the readings. It was the low thirty-seventh degree. ……

“Maybe I’m suddenly feeling tired after eating something and feeling relieved.”

“I think you should go to bed today. Can you go back to your room?”

“…… yes. But …… I’d like you to stay with me if you can.”

This girl must be lonely after all.

Nobody’s at home at this time of night on a Saturday. Her parents are at work and her brother lives in a dormitory.

Without Otsuki san, she would be alone all the time.

While Asahina-san was getting ready for bed, I prepared something for a cold fever.

“I never thought I’d be entering a girl’s room in …… this way.”

I wanted to ask for a different situation. Not wanting to run away, I took the things I had prepared to Asahina-san’s room on the second floor. I knocked on the door.

“May I come in now?”

“Yes, it’s okay.”

Fearfully, I opened the door. This is Asahina Arisa’s private room. It’s huge. It’s probably more than twice as big as my room.”

“I’m sorry I made you as Shizuku’s replacement.”

“You said Otsuki-san was working part-time, right? I’ll ask you to hire me too then.”

“When Shizuku doesn’t come here anymore, I’ll ask you to come …….”

Such lonely words do not suit Asahina-san.

However, it is a cute nightgown that emphasizes the lines of her body. Maybe she’s vulnerable because she’s weak and defenseless, but …… her cuteness and sexiness haven’t been compromised at all.

If it wasn’t for me, she could have been attacked. Asahina san sat down on the bed.

“Kogure-kun, I can’t talk to you from that far away. Come closer.”

“Ugh……, you think I’m a woman, don’t you?”

“I don’t think so. Kogure-kun is a boy. When you held me in your arms today, you were so strong and sturdy. You were so cool.”

“O-ou.”

I was embarrassed to be told so clearly. Asahina-san is too cute in general tonight.

No, I think she’s cuter in her honest form than when she’s trying to be cool and putting up walls against the boys. The thunder rumbles again.

“Kya!”

Asahina-san covers her ears. The music in the living room was a good cover, but in the bedroom, it’s not like that.

“Hey Kogure-kun? Can I ask you for a favor?”

“Anything is fine if it comes this far.”

“I want you to hold my hand until I …… fall asleep. No?”

“Yes,…….”

Asahina-san went into the futon. Is she becoming spoiled again?

Perhaps she’ll regress to a toddler when she’s weak? It seems as if I’m dealing with Hiyori.

Holding her hand is pretty hard to resist, you know.

“If it’s okay, we can go to bed together like you and Shizuku do all the time.”

“Let’s hold hands.”

Asahina-san must not be thinking straight because of the fever. This is a pattern that will get me killed when she recovers and comes to her senses.

Never take her up on her offer.

But I think it’s fine to hold hands. I’ve told you many times that I am a man.

Perhaps I’m like this on a regular basis. I held Asahina san’s hand.

“Kogure-kun’s hand is very reassuring.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

“It’s strange to hold a boy’s hand. I’ve only ever held Shizuku’s hand.”

Emotionally, I’m nervous and it’s not good for me. But it’s also very smooth, very soft and beautiful. Until Asahina-san falls asleep, I hold her hand and lean my back against the wall next to her.

“I think…”

I wonder if it’s because she’s about to fall asleep that Asahina-san’s voice is a little traced.

“The person that Kogure-kun likes…”

“……”

“If it wasn’t Shizuku…”

“Eh? Is that…?”

“Suuu…..”

“So that’s where you’re going to sleep. No, maybe it was for the best.”

Asahina-san is now feeling weak because she has no one she can rely on. It just happened that I was the only one to cling to. .

“Haa”

It’s bad for the heart. The relationship between me and Asahina-san is just a classmate. It should be like that. I stood up and turned my eyes to Asahina-san who was falling asleep.

By the way, Hiyori said that when she had a cold, she would be happy if I patted her on the head.

It’s not good to put your hands on a girl who’s sleeping, but… Asahina-san feels like she’s regressing into infancy right now,…….

“Rest easy.”

I put a wet towel on Asahina-san’s forehead and patted her head like I do to Hiyori.

Tomorrow, she will recover and return to her usual Asahina-san, I stroked her gently.

Her fever is not that high. It will probably go down tomorrow.

She is well nourished.

It will be midnight or …… when the rain stops. Even if it’s morning, I can’t go home with the door unlocked in the middle of the night.

I might stay the night on the big sofa in the living room. When I wake up, I’ll get ready and go home

“Honestly ……, I’m kind of mad at myself.”

I like that he reacts to her and that he’s somewhat aware of what he’s feeling. I freaking hate the very common pattern where the MC is not only dense to the advances of the heroine(s) but also to their own feelings, and they’re like “GUH WHY MY HEART GO DOKI DOKI” like a drooling caveman.
