I Asked A Beautiful Girl, Who Was About To Jump Off The School Rooftop, 'If You're Going To Die Anyway, Could You At Least Take My Virginity Before You Go?' To My Surprise, She Agreed. - Chapter 73: The Former Introvert Gets Tired Of Waiting.

The Former Introvert Gets Tired Of Waiting.

After taking a break in the living room, it was time for a bath.

Hatsune-san and Mayuki joyfully shared the first bath, and afterward, I sank into the tub alone, feeling a bit lonely.

Now, I had just finished my bath.

As I headed to my room to muster up some energy for studying, I found Hatsune-san and Mayuki in their pajamas.

“Hmm, ice cream after a bath really hits the spot,” Hatsune-san said.

Although they had spread their study materials on the desk, they were relaxed, enjoying their ice cream.

“Oh, welcome back, Yakumo-kun!”

“Thanks. Are you… still on a break?”

“…It’s fine, right? I wanted to have ice cream with Hatsune-san,” Mayuki replied, a hint of sulkiness in her voice.

“That’s fine, but you’ve been resting since dinner, haven’t you? I’m just wondering how you’re going to get your homework done at this rate.”

“…I plan to resume studying after finishing this,” Mayuki insisted.

Hatsune-san tilted her head slightly, a hint of awkwardness in her smile.

…For the sake of Hatsune-san’s cuteness, I’ll let it slide.

Taking breaks is important too.

I sat down at the desk, captivated by Hatsune-san’s gestures.

“Here you go, Yakumo-kun.”

Hatsune-san handed me half of her tube-shaped ice cream.

“Thank you. I feel like I can’t say much after receiving this, but… I suppose that’s okay.”

As I mumbled this and brought the ice cream to my mouth, Hatsune-san scooted closer to me.

“By the way, Yakumo-kun, do you notice anything different about me?”

Hatsune-san posed a curious question.

“It’s not about your glasses, right?”

She had been wearing glasses all day. There were times besides today when she wore them too.

“No, it’s not about the glasses. The hint is that it’s after a bath… maybe?”

With that hint, I took another look at Hatsune-san.

“After a bath… I feel like I’ve seen this pajama before, but… I’m not sure.”

Having no idea about the change in Hatsune-san, I gave up.

“The answer is… the scent. I borrowed Mayuki-chan’s shampoo,” she revealed.

“Oh, that’s why I couldn’t tell just by looking.”

“See, it smells nice, so why don’t you give it a sniff?”

As she said this, Hatsune-san innocently leaned her head closer to me.

“…I see.”

Indeed, it had a sweet, pleasant aroma.

…Well, she always smelled good, but there was something slightly different about it.

It must be because the shampoo was different.

Since she borrowed Mayuki’s shampoo, it should smell the same as my sister’s, but when that scent wafts from Hatsune-san, it feels strangely exhilarating.

I wouldn’t think much of it if it were Mayuki, but with Hatsune-san, that smell evokes an odd thrill.

“Fufuu~, it’s nice, isn’t it? I feel like my hair is a bit silkier than usual… Oh, would you like to touch it, Yakumo-kun?”

Hatsune-san leaned in even closer to me.

Just as I decided to reach out to her hair, that moment…

“Ahem.”

Mayuki cleared her throat.

“It’s about time we start studying, Hatsune-san.”

Having said that, Mayuki had already finished her ice cream.

…I almost forgot about that while getting lost in admiration for Hatsune-san, but I wasn’t alone with her anymore.

“…And you too, Onii-chan,” Mayuki added, calling me in a somewhat displeased tone, as if it were an afterthought.

“Well, I’ll just finish this ice cream… Oh, it’s starting to melt.”

“Ah, mine’s getting pretty soft too…”

The ice cream in both of our hands was indeed melting.

In any case, after finishing off the melting ice cream, we returned to the task of tackling our summer homework.

After about two hours of studying, around 11 PM, we decided it was time to sleep.

“Yawn~~… We made a lot of progress on our homework today,” Hatsune-san said, stifling a small yawn with her hand.

“I think we studied for about eight hours.”

Considering the bit I had already completed and what we finished today, I estimated that we had done about half of the overall assignments. The study camp was scheduled to last until the day after tomorrow, but at this pace, we would likely finish most of the homework.

“Alright, Hatsune-san. Let’s go to my room. I want to talk about various things while we sleep together,” Mayuki said cheerfully, taking Hatsune-san’s hand and leading her toward her room.

“Yeah, I’m looking forward to it!” Hatsune-san replied, casting a gentle gaze at Mayuki.

“Goodnight, Yakumo-kun!”

Hatsune-san waved lightly at me.

“Goodnight, Hatsune-san.”

I waved back, and in return, Hatsune-san gave me a meaningful wink.

That was… about our plan for later, right?

Yes.

I had promised to meet Hatsune-san in this room afterward.

…I need to make sure I wait without falling asleep.

As the clock struck past 1 AM, I lay on the bed, waiting for someone.

That someone… Hatsune-san hadn’t arrived yet.

Since Mayuki was an early riser, she would usually be sound asleep by this time.

So it wouldn’t be unusual for Hatsune-san to show up by now, but… so far, there was no sign of her.

“…”

I didn’t hear any voices or sounds from the next room.

The soundproofing wasn’t particularly exceptional, but if they were speaking in hushed tones, it wouldn’t be impossible not to hear them.

“Where is she…?”

I was starting to feel sleepy after waiting for so long.

Just as that thought crossed my mind, my eyelids slowly began to close.

By the time I realized it, I had drifted off to sleep.
