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 107

Episode 107: Her Decision

“I-I see, ehehe…”

Misaki, while looking embarrassed, wore a sloppy smile.

It seemed she was happy to hear that I was just as excited.

It’s simple, but I find that cute too.

“Let’s go.”

“Oh… yeah♪”

When I gently took her hand, Misaki seemed happy and immediately intertwined her fingers with mine.

She squeezed my hand affectionately, so I squeezed back gently.

Misaki giggled adorably again, and we left her room together, hand in hand.

As we headed towards the living room―.

“…Ah. …Ah.”

Sasagawa-sensei was sitting on the sofa, dozing off.

It seemed we had kept her waiting too long.

…No, yeah,.

This is bad…

“This looks like you can’t go home now…?”

Misaki looks up at me with a disappointed look.

But she was smirking. She seemed happy that I wouldn’t be able to leave.

I also felt bad about waking Sasagawa-sensei to ask her to take me home.

“No choice, I might have to walk home.”

“You’re going to go that far!?”

Misaki was surprised that I was still considering going home.

“Well, it’s only two stations away, so it’s not an impossible distance. Taking a taxi would be a waste of money, and it would be bad to wake my mom, who’s working, to come pick me up.”

“Ugh… okay…”

Misaki let go of my hand, looking a bit dejected, and approached Sasagawa-sensei.

“Nee-chan, wake up. Raito-kun can’t go home.”

She gently patted her sister’s cheek. It was unexpected to see her waking Sasagawa-sensei on her own.

“You don’t have to wake her up forcefully.”

“I can’t let Raito-kun walk home… It’s far and it’s dark…”

It seemed she prioritized waking her sister over her own feelings out of concern for me.

Seeing this side of her reminded me that she wasn’t just a child. She always kept her distance from others, but she was a kind girl who could be considerate.

“Thanks.”

“…Honestly, I don’t want you to go home… but it can’t be helped…”

Misaki continued to pat her sister’s cheek, pouting slightly. She seemed to be patting a bit harder, but it was probably just my imagination.

Eventually, Sasagawa-sensei woke up―

“I’m sorry for showing you something so unsightly…!”

―For some reason, she immediately started apologizing.

There was no need to apologize so much…
