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 73
Episode 73: Two Spoiled Children
“Y-You saw us…?”
As I was patting Kokoa’s head, Misaki bent down, looking at us with a worried expression.
“For now, why don’t you sit next to me?”
Since Kokoa might overhear if we continue like this, I urge Misaki to sit next to me.
Fortunately, Kokoa seems too engrossed in being petted to pay attention to Misaki’s words.
“Ah… mmm…”
Misaki nods slightly and slowly sits next to Kokoa so as not to startle her.
And then—
“……”
—she starts gazing at Kokoa with envy.
Maybe she’s jealous of being petted.
…No, perhaps it’s because she wants to sit on my lap?
We’ve started dating, so it’s perfectly fine to let Misaki sit on my lap, but… when Kokoa is awake, this spot is reserved for her.
I’ll ask her about it again when Kokoa is asleep.
As I’m thinking about this, Misaki starts glancing up at my face.
Could it be that she’s waiting for her turn to be petted?
Thinking that—
“……”
—she moves closer to my arm, rubbing against it.
Then she rests her head on my shoulder.
It seems she wanted some affection.
“Just a little, okay?”
I release my hand from Kokoa’s head and gently stroke Misaki’s head.
Ideally, I should prioritize Kokoa, but Misaki and I have just started dating.
I thought it would be a bit pitiful not to do this much for her.
Well, when I let go of Kokoa’s head, she looked up at me with dissatisfaction.
However, seeming to understand by seeing Misaki being petted, she starts lightly tapping her own head against my chest.
Seems like she intends to play like this until her turn comes.
“Ehehe…”
Misaki, being petted, lets out a cute, happy smile.
Before pretending to date, the image I had of her was a cute girl who gets along well with others and has a good personality but maintains a certain distance.
Yet now, she’s completely become a spoiled one.
But I don’t mind, because she’s cuter this way.
“―Next is Kokoa’s turn, right?”
“Ah…”
After petting Misaki a bit, I stroked the head of the angel who had been quietly waiting on my lap.
Misaki let out a lonely sound when my hand left her, but she’ll have to endure it for a little while.
It seems she’ll stay late today, so I’ll pamper her when I send her home.
“Mmm…”
I resigned myself to that, but Misaki seems not to.
She clings to my arm, pressing her face against it.
What a cute little creature she is.
