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 47

Episode 47: The Worst Visitor

For now, I head towards the entrance since I’ve been called.

And there―

“HHHH-Hello…!”

―There stood Misaki, her eyes swirling around and her face flushed red.

As soon as she sees me, she greets me, but she seems quite nervous. She appears tense as if she’s facing my mother.

“Seriously…”

I couldn’t help but mutter.

Truly, this is giving me a headache.

“Raito can’t stand in the corner when he has such a cute girl as his girlfriend…!”

It seems like she’s already been introduced to my mother. Probably, because it was my mother who came out, she got flustered and ended up saying she’s ‘my girlfriend’.

…This is the worst.

“Misaki?”

“I-Imsorry…!”

Since I was in front of mom, I smiled and called her name, and Misaki lowered her head vigorously.

She understood what I wanted to say without words.

What are you going to do about it, seriously?

“You don’t have to apologize, okay? You’re welcome to come over anytime. More importantly, have you had lunch yet?”

Mom, who is keenly interested in Misaki, seems to be considering inviting her into the house. She’s so excited, it’s like she can’t wait to talk.

“Ah, not yet…”
When Misaki comes around noon, she usually cooks lunch for me and Kokoa. So, she doesn’t eat and eats with us.

However― I really wish she hadn’t been honest about this.

“Then I’ll make Misaki-chan’s portion too, so please eat.”

It seems like introductions are already done, even her name is known. Even if I were to say we’re not really together, Mom wouldn’t believe it. Moreover, it might even result in her getting angry, seeing it as embarrassing Misaki.

This is really troublesome.

“I-It’s really unnecessary…!”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. I knew you had a girlfriend, Raito, but I was waiting for you to tell me. But you’re not the type to talk about these things, right? So, I thought I’d like to hear about Misaki-chan.”

Apparently, Mom had heard about it from a neighbor nearby. She pretended not to know until I spoke… she was probably waiting for me to spill the beans.

“Um, well, about that…”

Misaki glances at me apologetically. She’s probably trying to gauge my reaction.

“Please come in…”

Now that my mother knows, it’s all too late. Since she’s fully on board, if I were to send Misaki away, I’d get scolded.

Above all, if she goes back now, I’d be the one grilled for answers… So, I decided to let Misaki take responsibility herself.

…But seriously, why did she come?
