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 106

Episode 106: Two Sides

“―One more time…”

As expected, Misaki was not satisfied with the second kiss.

Whenever I pulled my mouth away to take a breath, she would immediately ask for another.

Having already repeated this several times, and as I feared, it was heading into an endless state.

“It’s really no good. Time is running out.”

I placed my hands on Misaki’s shoulders, creating some distance from her approaching face.

Her expression turned into that of an abandoned puppy, but I couldn’t give in any longer.

After all, if I didn’t leave, Sasagawa-sensei wouldn’t be able to go to bed.

Even if she wanted to sleep, she had to stay awake to see me off, given the current situation.

I can’t keep her waiting any longer.

“You don’t have to rush; we’re lovers, so we can do it anytime, please be patient today.”

Obviously, Misaki still wants to do it, so I try to soothe her, conscious of my gentle voice and words.

I’m happy to be wanted, but in situations where restraint is necessary, she really needs to hold back.

If we were careless now, it wouldn’t be good for either of us.

“Next time…?”

Misaki asked, looking up.

It seems like she’s not convinced yet.

“You’re coming to my house tomorrow too, right?”

“……”

When I brought up tomorrow, Misaki looked at me silently, as if to say, “You know what I want to say without having to say it.”

Of course, I understood what she meant.

Even if she came over tomorrow, it didn’t mean we could continue from where we left off.

Obviously, with Kokoa around, we couldn’t just leave her unattended, and it wasn’t appropriate to let her see us kissing like this from an educational standpoint.

So, if we were to kiss, it would only be when she was asleep—but even then, if she woke up, it would be a problem, so timing was crucial.

To put it simply, not doing it would be the safest choice.

Misaki probably expected me to refuse, hence her current look.

“Kokoa always takes a nap, so during that time…”

“…I understand.”

Though reluctantly, Misaki nodded.

She seemed to have some thoughts but swallowed them down.

Since this was more or less a promise, I figured she would be quite upset if I didn’t keep it tomorrow.

“Let’s get back to Sasagawa-sensei.”

To go home, we needed to ask Sasagawa-sensei, so I prepared to leave Misaki’s room.

However―

“…I thought boys would be more assertive… Raito-kun, maybe you don’t like me that much…?”

―Misaki seemed to grow anxious again as I remained calm despite the kisses.

Well, certainly, if any boy were to kiss a beautiful girl like Misaki in her room, they’d probably be inclined to go further.

At the very least, it would be hard to refuse her advances.

That said, even I―

“It’s because of Kokoa that I can’t afford to get carried away, I’m just trying not to show it on my face or in my actions, but I’m really quite excited inside.”

After all, it was my first kiss in life.

I was also in my adolescence, so it was impossible for me to remain calm internally.

If I didn’t have to go back to take care of Kokoa, I probably would have given in.
