I became the boyfriend of the school's madonna, who had turned down numerous confessions, but somehow, without realizing it, I wasn't just playing a role anymore - Chapter 103

Chapter 103: The Thing That Was Put on Hold

“And what is this request?”

If Misaki is willing to endure this, as her boyfriend, I naturally have to hear her out.

So, I asked her what it was about.

“I want to stay over at Raito-kun’s house…”

“It’s impossible.”

I reflexively rejected it.

“……”

Right after my immediate refusal, Misaki made it clear that she was sulking.

“You don’t have to refuse with all your might…!”

“No, I’m not at full strength, but no matter how you think about it, it’s impossible, right?”

If I asked my mom to let her stay the night, she would definitely make fun of me, and there was a possibility that I would be accused of strange things.

I don’t want to sneak her into the house to stay, so she’ll just have to give up.

“I know… I was just joking anyway…”

Misaki pouted slightly and turned her head away.

She probably said it as a joke, as she had verbally stated, but I don’t think that’s all.

Maybe she was hoping I’d agree with her.

And that’s why she’s sulking.

“What’s your real request?”
“Boyfriend-san switches gears quickly and girlfriend feels helpless.”
When I tried to proceed as if the earlier joke hadn’t happened, Misaki gently tapped her forehead against my chest.

She seemed to be sad that she wasn’t being taken seriously.
“Because time is time.”

“I wish you’d just stay over for real…”

Misaki puffed her cheeks again.

She really doesn’t want to be away from me.

“That’s impossible. Rather than that, what’s your actual request?”

I asked with a wry smile, prompting Misaki again for her request.

Seeming to switch gears in her thoughts, Misaki suddenly looked down, started twiddling her index fingers together.

She seemed fidgety and finding it hard to say something.

…It looks like she’s probably going to ask for something outrageous again.

“I would appreciate it if you could make a request within reason…”

I don’t know what she’s expecting, but if she asks for something unreasonable like before, I won’t be able to grant it.

That’s what I thought as I said it―

“It’s okay, I think Raito-kun can do it…”

Misaki said shyly, but with confidence that I could do it.

She still wouldn’t look at my face, so what kind of request could it possibly be?

“For now, can you just tell me?”

If she doesn’t put it into words, I won’t understand, so I urged her.

And then―

“If I could have… what I’ve been missing out on…”

Misaki said this, closing her eyes tightly, and with her face turning bright red, she leaned forward as if to kiss me.
