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 144

Episode 144: Full Throttle

Isn’t this girl stepping on the gas a little too much…!?

I couldn’t help but think that as I watched Misaki, who had completely turned into a runaway vehicle.

At this rate, she wasn’t going to stop unless someone physically pulled the brakes.

It was as if her brakes were completely broken.

“We just started dating, you know…?”

“But we’ve actually been together for quite a while…?”

I tried to subtly imply that things were moving too fast, but Misaki shot me down with an upturned gaze.

She was probably referring to the time we spent as a fake couple before officially getting together.

—Yeah, but even counting that, it hasn’t even been a month yet…!?

Is this girl really okay…!?

“Besides, our relationship is already parent-approved… so no one would complain, right…?”

Like hell that’s true!

If your dad found out, he’d storm in here yelling!

I wanted to say that, but the way Misaki was earnestly trying to be with me made it hard to push her away too harshly.

More than anything, being wanted like this… wasn’t exactly unpleasant.

—Even if it was giving me a massive headache.

Actually, wasn’t this just another step in the process of trapping me?

At this rate, she was practically trying to create a “done deal” situation.

Lately, she’s been acting a little airheaded, but she’s actually really smart.

The thought that she might be doing all of this deliberately was a little terrifying.

I mean… no, surely not… right?

“Don’t forget that Sasagawa-sensei is here as our chaperone.”

The whole reason she was staying over was to make sure Misaki and I didn’t do anything we shouldn’t.

Though in reality, she was kind of having the opposite effect…

Honestly, even if something did happen, she seemed like the type to just smile and accept it.

“Muuu…”

When I refused, Misaki pouted and started rubbing her face against my arm, sulking.

Yeah, she definitely really wanted to bathe together.

As a guy, being invited by an ultra-beautiful girl like Misaki should have been a dream come true…

But I couldn’t give in.

I wasn’t in a position to take responsibility for something like that yet.

To be honest, I’m sure plenty of guys would’ve just gone with the flow here.

And if Kokoa and Sasagawa-sensei weren’t around, I might have, too…

“There’s always a chance my mom could come home early, so let’s not take any unnecessary risks.”

I gently patted Misaki’s head as I said that, trying to soothe her.

Given the time, there was a real possibility my mom could walk in at the worst possible moment.

She liked Misaki a lot, so she might actually be happy about it…

But I wasn’t about to take that chance.

“Raito-kun, you have way too much self-control…”

“Honestly, I feel like it’s been getting stronger lately…”

Mostly thanks to you.

If I don’t keep my guard up, this girl is seriously going to steamroll right through.

…Is this gonna be okay once school starts again…?
