Chapter 70: Because You Wanted More Lucky Pervert Moments!

Although Lily gave me an earful afterward, we somehow managed to accomplish our original goal. After hearing the situation from us, Recty immediately agreed, saying, “If there’s something I can do, I’ll gladly help.”

I had assumed she wouldn’t refuse, but to see her agree so quickly and without hesitation was… unexpected.

Since we decided to give Alyssa our answer tomorrow morning, for now, we called it a night and went our separate ways.

“Um, Sir Hugh…”

Just as I was about to climb back out through the window, Recty called out to me.

“That… what you said earlier… was it true?”

“What I said earlier…? Oh, you mean the whole ‘big or small’ thing?”

Recty nodded quickly, her face faintly red.

After getting scolded by Lily, this wasn’t a topic I particularly wanted to revisit… but a quick glance showed Lily sitting on her bed, watching us. She was too far away to hear what we were talking about, thankfully.

“Uh… well, this might not align with general opinions, but I think both have their own unique appeal. So, please don’t put yourself down like that. Recty, you’re a very charming girl.”

“T-Thank you very much…”

“A-And, um, I’m sorry. Let me properly apologize again. It was wrong of me to see what I did. If there’s any way I can take responsibility, I’ll do whatever it takes.”

“R-Responsibility…? Then… I-I’ll think about it…!”

Recty’s face turned bright red as she lowered her gaze, seemingly lost in thought. After saying my goodbyes to her and Lily, I left the girls’ dorm.

Using my <Ninja> skill, I ran at full speed and stopped just near the boys’ dorm, crouching down in regret.

“Aaaaah, I messed up so badly…!”

I’d thought I was doing pretty well in this life, but this—this was the biggest mistake I’d made, even compared to my previous one. A catastrophic embarrassment—a true black mark in my personal history.

I still couldn’t believe I’d ended up seeing Recty like that…!

When Lily had insisted on bringing me into the girls’ dorm, I should have firmly refused. Or, since I had already switched to my <Ninja> skill, I should’ve been more aware of my surroundings.

But I think I subconsciously held back, avoiding fully using my skill out of respect. After all, it would’ve felt creepy to sense too much of their private space. Because of that hesitation, I failed to notice that Recty was in the middle of taking a shower.

This must be what they mean by “regret always comes too late.”

The only saving grace is that Recty doesn’t seem too upset—in fact, she even feels apologetic toward me.

Still, just because she’s not angry or sad doesn’t mean my actions are excused.

I’ll find a way to make it up to Recty someday.

Dragging my feet, I made my way back to the dorm and returned to my room. When I unlocked the door and stepped inside, the lights were off. It seemed like Loug had gone to sleep on her own.

…In my bed, of course.

Debating where I was going to sleep tonight, I turned to leave and head for the shower, but—

“…D-Don’t…”

A faint voice stopped me in my tracks.

“Don’t go… don’t leave me alone…”

“Loug…?”

Was she awake?

No… she was having a nightmare. Concerned, I leaned closer to check on her. Loug was clutching Nokonoko tightly, beads of sweat glistening on her forehead as she wore a pained expression.

Could her trouble sleeping be because of recurring nightmares…?

“N-No… Mother…”

A dream about being left behind by her mother? But even so, it felt more intense than that. Tears rolled down from Loug’s closed eyes, and her right hand reached out into the empty air as if searching for someone.

“Don’t go anywhere… please… don’t leave me…”

“I’m right here, Lucretia.”

I gently clasped Lucretia’s outstretched right hand with my left, cradling it softly. I wasn’t her mother, and I felt a pang of guilt about that, but there was no way I could just leave her like this and go take a shower.

Using my sleeve, I wiped the sweat from her forehead and carefully brushed away the tears slipping through the corners of her closed eyes. Maybe it was because she was holding my hand, but Lucretia’s expression seemed to relax slightly.

Still gripping my hand, she pulled it to her chest and hugged it tightly.

…Uh-oh. I’m stuck now.

If I tried to quietly pull my arm away, she might start having nightmares again. And even if that wasn’t the case, she was holding onto me so firmly that there was no way to free my arm without waking her.

I had no choice. The shower could wait until morning. For now, I’d just sleep like this.

Carefully, I nudged Lucretia a little closer to the wall and laid down in the narrow space left beside her. It was tight enough that if I turned over, I’d probably fall off the bed. But with her gripping my arm, I wasn’t likely to move much anyway.

“Goodnight, Lucretia,” I whispered.

As soon as I closed my eyes, sleep came quickly.

The next morning.

“H-Hugh～～～!!!???”

“Mm…?”

A panicked, high-pitched voice jolted me awake. Slowly, I opened my eyes to find Loug’s face right in front of mine, flushed as red as a boiled octopus. Her wide-open eyes and trembling lips made it clear she was in complete shock.

What’s going on…? My brain was still too foggy from sleep to make sense of the situation.

“Good morning, Loug. Did you sleep well last night?”

“Y-Yeah, I slept surprisingly well—wait! Hugh, you pervert! Where are you touching?!”

“Eh… huh?”

Now that she mentioned it, I could feel something soft and squishy in my left hand. What is this…?

“Fyaaah! D-don’t squeeze it…!”

Loug’s eyes brimmed with tears as she shook her head. What exactly was I touching… oh.

My brain finally kicked into gear, and last night’s memories came flooding back. Right, Loug had hugged my left hand to her chest, and I couldn’t free myself, so I ended up falling asleep like that.

Looking down slightly, I saw my left hand still pressed against Loug’s chest. Actually, I wasn’t just pressing—it looked like I had been outright squeezing.

So, they are there, even if they usually don’t stand out. And, wow, this is the first time I’ve ever touched a girl’s chest. Thoughts like this floated uselessly across my mind.

“Hugh, you idiot!”

“W-Wait, it’s not what it looks like! This happened because you—”

Wait, no! That’s not the point right now!

I needed to say something to calm Loug down before she started crying. Uh… uh…!

“Loug! I like them small too!”

—And with that, Loug kicked me off the bed.

Not saying what, but…

Loug ≤ Recty << Lily < Alyssa

Just saying.
