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 150

Episode 150: The Showdown

“Uhh…”

I couldn’t find an answer to what I should do, so I just stared at Sasagawa-sensei.

And then, I suddenly noticed something.

Behind Sasagawa-sensei, stuck to the wall, was a creature—a small gecko.

Ah, it must have gotten into the house…

Well, that’s not exactly rare, but still—this one’s really small.

A baby, maybe?

Anyway, I’m just glad it’s not a cockroach. Still, I’ll have to be careful not to step on it…

“Hm? Raito-kun, what are you looking at—?”

While I was deep in thought, Sasagawa-sensei noticed that I was staring at something and slowly turned around.

She casually called me by my first name, but when she realized what I was staring at—the gecko—her whole body jolted in shock.

“KYAAAAAAAH!”

Then, with tears in her eyes, she threw herself at me.

“Wha—Ugh!”

I didn’t expect Sasagawa-sensei to charge at me, so I ended up being tackled to the ground.

She straddled me as I lay there and wrapped her arms tightly around my head.

Something soft and large was pressing all over my face—I couldn’t breathe.

Wait—no way!?

She’s strong!?

She must’ve been squeezing me with all her might, because even as I tried to pull away, I couldn’t move my face.

Resigned, I gently patted her back to signal her to let go, but she was in a full-blown panic and didn’t respond.

Worse yet, she was so panicked that she didn’t even realize she was hugging me.

—N-No way, I wasn’t ready for this, I can’t breathe…!

When you dive underwater, you usually take a deep breath first, so you can hold your breath for a while.

But in a situation like this, I didn’t even have time to breathe in—on the contrary, I was so startled I probably let all the air out.

There’s no way I can hold out long like this.

I’ve got to get out of this, or I’ll die—just when I thought that,

The door burst open.

“—B-Big sis, what was that scream just now!?”

Apparently, Misaki had heard her sister’s scream and came running.

The fact that she rushed over so quickly shows that, in the end, she really does care about her sister.

But—just this once—I wish she hadn’t.

“…What are you doing, big sis?”

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Misaki’s voice came out low and cold.

 It was clear she had realized that Sasagawa-sensei was hugging me.
