Episode 102: Alternative Plan and Request

“―It’s bad if I don’t go home soon…”

I thought Sasagawa-sensei would come to the room after some time had passed, but she seemed to be avoiding coming at the same awkward timing as a few hours ago.

Even though it’s already past midnight, it would definitely be bad if I don’t go home soon.

“……”

“No, don’t give me that lonely look. I can’t stay overnight.”

Facing Misaki’s silently pleading eyes, I returned a wry smile.

We couldn’t drag this out indefinitely.

“If you stay over, I’m okay with it…?”

Then, Misaki proposed something outrageous.

This girl is so flushed that she can’t distinguish things properly…?

I’m really glad she hasn’t gotten involved with any weird guys up until now.

“There’s no way Sasagawa-sensei would allow it, right?”

“It’s okay, I can convince my sister.”

Misaki said firmly, as if she really wanted to keep me here.

Indeed, I feel like her kind and doting nature towards her sister might just convince her.

That’s exactly why I need to persuade Misaki right now.

“Tomorrow Mom has work, so I have to go home. Otherwise, there won’t be anyone to take care of Kokoa.”

I brought up Kokoa’s situation.

Misaki will give priority to Kokoa, so I thought this would make her back down.

―That’s what I thought…

“…If we go pick up Kokoa-chan, can you stay over? Since we were planning to drop Raito-kun off and come back anyway, bringing Kokoa-chan home with us wouldn’t make much difference, right?”

Misaki instantly came up with an alternative.

She and Sasagawa-sensei wouldn’t see much difference in the number of trips back and forth.

But―that’s not it.

It’s all kinds of inconvenient for me.

Mom would definitely tease me about it, and if Kokoa wakes up during the trip, she might start crying loudly.

Plus, if Sasagawa-sensei notices she’s awake, she might not sleep.

That would inconvenience her too.

Most importantly, it’s already late, and it’s awkward to ask for a round trip.

No matter how you look at it, it would be better for me to quietly go home.

…I wonder how much Misaki wants me to stay the night…

“You’re coming to play at our house again tomorrow, right? Please endure until then.”

“But, I can’t cuddle with you while Kokoa-chan is awake…”
