Chapter 18: I want you to entrust it to me.

“…Nn… Ah, I fell asleep.”

Before long, Hiiragi woke up.

“Good morning. You must have been really tired.”

“Eh? …Ah, well.”

Perhaps still half-asleep, Hiiragi responded in a lethargic voice, rubbing one eye.

“…….”

However, her expression gradually became suspicious, and as if checking something, she started touching every part of her body.

“…You, didn’t do anything to me, did you?”

It seemed she was still quite drowsy. Or maybe she was still inside her dream world? Either way, it was incredibly rude.

“Do you think I have enough courage to do anything inappropriate?”

“…Of course, you don’t have. But, you do look like someone who would say, ‘I couldn’t help it, the devil made me do it.’ Or such.”

“Hey, what’s that supposed to mean huh? Are you saying I look like some molester or voyeur to you?”

Hiiragi nodded and hugged herself scarily as if trying to protect herself.

“Eh, wait, really, are you seriously suspecting me? I really didn’t do anything, I swear… Just, wait, please stop looking at me like that! I’m really gonna cry now, seriously.”

“…Fufufu, you’re way overreacting. I was just kidding.”

“Geez… Give me a break already.”

Grinning as she teased me, I let out a sigh of relief.

“Well, you do look like someone who’d grope or voyeur people, though. That part wasn’t a joke by itself.”

“—-Please give me a break on that part itself!”

“Ah, it’s already this late.”

Ignoring my protest, Hiiragi looked at her phone.

Before checking the time, how about you apologizing to my parents now?

…Well but, at least she seemed to have regained enough composure to tease me. So that’s good, I guess.

“I’m going to head home now, what about you?”

“I’m going to head home too.”

“Ugh, doesn’t that mean we’ll end up heading home together.”

“Uwaa, you sound so really disgusted. You don’t have to sound so worried, I’ll leave a bit later.”

If I do that, it should solve the problem right~ thinking that, I looked at Hiiragi. But she instead had a thoughtful expression, touching her chin. Just what could she be unhappy about now?

“…Somehow, it feels like we’re having a secret office romance or something. So, I find it kinda gross as well.”

You realise right, you’re asking for way too much from here since a while ago. Am I going to get eaten now?

I scratched my head, not hiding my exasperation, and asked Hiiragi straightforward.

“Then, what do you want me to do?”

“…Well, leaving separately is a hundred times better than heading home together… With that said, I’ll be heading first now. You, wait here for five minutes before departing.”

Hiiragi stood up and gives her order while looking down at me. If that was the case, don’t say it’s gross in the first place. I also have feelings that can be hurt too, you know?

“—Well then, see you tomorrow.”

“Ah, wait a minute. There’s something I need to ask you before you go.”

“What is it?”

Hiiragi stopped and prompted me to continue.

“About the Katasen situation… Could you leave it to —–No, can you entrust me with it?”
