After a Beautiful, Yandere Onee-San Moved in Next Door, My Life Changed Drastically~ (Please Save Me...) - Chapter 20 - Christmas, 00:01 a.m.

Chapter 20 – Christmas, 00:01 a.m.

The restaurant Kinoshita-san reserved was really delicious.

I was embarrassed to get lovey-dovey in front of Kinoshita-san and Takahashi-san, but Hanada-san wanted to feed me, so I ate until I was full.

“Now that I think of it, it’s already 11 o’clock…”

I don’t know if Hanada-san will come over today, but I already prepared a present for her.

I’m planning to work up the courage to confess to her tomorrow…

After staring at a case that contained a bracelet for a while, I smiled.

Clack…

“Nao-kun~!”

Whoa, she came too early…

“What’s wrong…? It’s already bedtime.”

“Yeah… since it’s almost Christmas, I thought it might be nice to spend some time together!”

“It’s 11 o’clock. Is it okay?”

“Yeah…”

And then Hanada-san stopped in front of me, bringing a bunch of things…

Ever since I gave Hanada-san the key to my house, she’s gotten into the habit of bringing more and more of her own things to my room.

Things like food… and various daily necessities… I could only express my gratitude to her for giving me so much.

“What are we doing today…?”

“Yeah…! Recently, since we’ve been sleeping together more often, I brought this!”

Matching pajamas…?

“Hanada-san… Well… um, today’s outfit was like that too… And the coffee and shampoo… they’re all from expensive brands, aren’t they?”

“Yeah… But if I don’t give my Nao-kun good clothes, good food, and good household items, it hurts my heart and it makes me worry…”

“I’m really happy, but sometimes it feels like a burden…”

“What…! It’s fun to spend money on my Nao-kun, so don’t worry about it…”

Hanada-san handed me the shopping bag she was holding and smiled.

“But…”

“I really love you, Nao-kun. I want you to be by my side forever… No, I want you to be with me for eternity…”

“F-for eternity…”

“You can promise me that much, right? It’s not difficult.”

“…Yes.”

“Good. Nao-kun is mine…”

It feels like she just said something really amazing…

“Hey, hey… Try putting on the pajamas!”

Pajamas that are the same color as Hanada-san’s underwear…

The color is burned into my memory, and I can’t stop thinking about it.

But… Do I really look good in pajamas in such an embarrassing color…?

I’m not sure about the material… but once I put them on, they feel incredibly comfortable. They’re on a whole different level from my usual pajamas.

“What do you think?”

“They’re cute!”

After saying that, Hanada-san took off her clothes and changed into the same pajamas as me.

“Ah… Wait a second! Hanada-san, please change in the bathroom!”

“Eh… But we took a bath together just the other day, right? Are you embarrassed to see me in my underwear now?”

“Y-yes…”

“But you already did something naughty with me…”

“I didn’t do anything…!”

“Really…?”

Hanada-san placed both hands on the floor and looked up at me.

Her pajamas weren’t fully buttoned, so I could see her underwear.

“Really…!”

“Fufu, were you nervous?”

“Who do you think is to blame?”

“I don’t know~”

“Honestly…”

“Hey, hasn’t it been almost a month since we met…?”

“Yeah, it’s about a month now.”

We were huddled together in the kotatsu, watching TV.

It might have been a stroke of luck that Hanada-san came to this lonely room. Although she sometimes gets angry with a scary expression, she’s usually straightforward and adorable, and I find myself liking her more and more…

“Ah! It’s almost Christmas…!”

“Ah, you’re right. But why do you want to celebrate on Christmas Eve instead of the actual day?”

“Because it’s better to spend the actual day with someone special, so we celebrate on Christmas Eve… Besides, you never know what might happen on Christmas, right…?”

I flinched when Hanada-san touched my thigh with her fingertips…

“Oh… Did that surprise you? You’re cute, Nao-kun~”

“I-it did not! I-I’m not surprised… not at all…”

“Wearing the same pajamas like this, sleeping in the same bed… What do you think, Nao-kun?”

“I think it’s…embarrassing.”

“Nao-kun, is there anything you want to do with me…? It’s Christmas after all…”

I couldn’t tell if I was getting so heated because of the kotatsu or because of Hanada-san.

My heart was reacting violently to her words…

“Huh…?”

As Hanada-san was staring at me, I wanted to confess right away.

I actually wanted to confess that I loved her too… But I was so nervous that I couldn’t let out the words…

Confessing for the first time was really difficult for me… Seeing my reflection in her candy-like eyes only made me more nervous.

Her bright red eyes, staring at me, were so beautiful… and now, all I could hear was the sound of my heartbeat.

“Nao-kun… there’s something you want to tell me, isn’t there…?”

“…Yes.”

Hanada-san smiled as she put her hand on my chest.

——December 24th, 11:55pm.

“Okay… I’ll listen.”

“Okay… Could you close your eyes, Hanada-san?”

As Hanada-san remained motionless, I put on the bracelet I had hidden.

“Eh, what is this?”

“Not yet… Please keep your eyes closed.”

“Ah, okay…! But there’s something on my wrist…”

“…This is…a Christmas present!”

I don’t have the same fashion sense as Hanada-san…

After persistently asking the store clerk, I decided on this.

A pink gold chain bracelet.

The clerk told me that it was a simple and cute design that women would like, so I’m sure Hanada-san would like it.

I didn’t really understand fashion, so I just imagined what Hanada-san would look like wearing it…

“……”

Hanada-san opened her eyes and stared at the bracelet on her wrist.

“Wow…! So cute! Is this a present for me?”

“Yes…”

“I’m so happy… It’s so cute… I love you, Nao-kun!”

I’m so glad that Hanada-san is happy with the gift…

Also——

“Um… you probably already saw this coming, Hanada-san…”

“Yes?”

“I’m a… sloppy person, but still, I… I love you! I’ve always wanted to say it all this time…”

“Yes…”

“I don’t know any cool ways to say this… but, w-would you go out with me? I really like you, Hanada-san!”

“……”

Wow… I didn’t realize it would be this hard to say…

“Hey… Nao-kun.”

“Yes…?”

“Let’s kiss…”

“S-suddenly…?”

After saying that, Hanada-san sat on my lap with a smile on her face.

The way she looked down at me gave off the impression that she wanted to do it right away, and it instantly made me nervous.

“I love you too, Nao-kun. I’m glad you told me your feelings…”

“…It’s my first time confessing to anyone…”

“Yeah. All of Nao-kun’s firsts were with me, right…?”

“Yes…”

Her voice was getting quieter, and the distance between our lips was gradually closing.

——December 25th, 12:01 AM.

“You’re too tense…”

“Yes…”

“Too tense… silly.”

“Yes…”

The same scent, the same pajamas, and the same daily routine… Just having Hanada-san by my side was enough for me…

We gently pressed our lips together.

It wasn’t the usual light kiss, but an intense kiss with our tongues intertwined, like the ones in dramas and manga…

Hanada-san… She’s really good at kissing…

“…I stole Nao-kun’s lips…”

“……”

“Your face is so cute…”

Hanada-san pinched my cheeks and smiled.

“I love you, Hanada-san.”

“Yeah. I love you too, Nao-kun.”

——Looking back, maybe it would have been better if I hadn’t said that.
