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 113

Episode 113: The Girlfriend I Want to Be with

“A-Am I really that easy to read…?”

Misaki, still unconvinced, pouts slightly and asks in a sulky, childlike manner.

“Well, I guess you’re just being true to your desires.”

Compared to the way she used to be, Misaki now seems to have no brakes.

When I think about why she’s acting like this, it’s easy to see what her intentions are.

Being this straightforward, of course she wouldn’t be able to get through to Suzumine-san.

“B-But I’ve been holding back a lot, you know…!?”

“You’re kidding…?”

Despite keeping me by her side for hours, constantly asking for kisses, and sneaking into my bed early in the morning like this…?

How strong are Misaki’s desires, really…?

It’s not just her looks or intellect—her desires might be on a whole other level too.

“I’m not lying…”

Still pouting, Misaki buries her face in my chest, as if to vent her frustration.

I’m torn between wanting to ask what she’s been holding back and wondering if it’s even okay to ask.

To be honest, I am afraid to ask.

“Even when you’re sneaking into your boyfriend’s bed, you say you’re holding back…?”

Could there really be something more than this…?

With that thought, I throw the question back at her.

“Th-This was just… It’s just that when I saw you sleeping so peacefully, I got sleepy too…!”

“And the truth?”

“…I thought it was a rare chance, so I figured you’d probably forgive me if I slept with you…”

Knowing she couldn’t get away with a lie, she surprisingly answers honestly when I ask.

Well, maybe she did get sleepy, but the main reason she acted was probably what she just confessed.

“See? You’re being true to your desires after all.”

As I say this, I gently embrace Misaki and stroke her head.

“Ah…♪”

She didn’t expect to be petted at that moment, and the sound that escapes from her clearly shows how pleased she is.

Despite her earlier frustration, being petted seems to have made her forget about it.

She’s simple like that, in a way.

Well, she’s cute, so I don’t mind.

As I continue to gently stroke her, Misaki says nothing more and cuddles up to me, rubbing her softened cheek against my chest.

Although I was surprised to find her here when I woke up, having her want to be with me like this makes me feel truly blessed as a boyfriend.

At the very least, if the guys at school knew about my current situation, most of them would be envious.

—Though it’s a little late to think this, Misaki is incredibly popular at school…

It feels surreal that such a girl is now my girlfriend, snuggling up to me like this.

“Anyway, I’m going to wash my face.”

Not wanting her to see my bedhead, I release Misaki and start to get up.

But—

“I don’t mind, just stay like this…”

Misaki grabs my sleeve, not wanting to let me go. It seems she still hasn’t had her fill of being affectionate.

“I really do mind. Watch over Kokoa for me.”

“Mmm…”

Even when I say this while gently stroking her head again, Misaki pouts slightly, sulking once more. She looks like she’s about to follow me.

—But despite being so clingy, it seems Misaki can’t just leave Kokoa alone, so she stays sitting on the bed, watching me as I head for the door.

Relieved by this, I head to the bathroom to wash my face.
