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 89

Episode 89: The Similar Sisters

“……!”

“Just stay still.”

When the door opened and Misaki tried to look in that direction, I gently pressed the back of her head and held her face against my chest.

While softly stroking her hair, I directed my gaze towards Sasagawa-sensei, who had just entered the room.

“Ah, um…”

Sasagawa-sensei, of course, wasn’t in just her underwear.

Instead, she was dressed stylishly as if she was about to go out.

Since she had mentioned she would be out, it wasn’t surprising that she wasn’t in pajamas or loungewear; she probably felt it inappropriate to appear in such casual attire before me.

From my perspective, she always seemed like a very kind and perfect person.

Since she appeared that way to everyone except her family, it was clear she was maintaining that image in front of me as well.

Well, it’s normal for people to want to present their best selves to others, so there’s nothing particularly wrong with that. In fact, it’s perfectly reasonable.

That said, her cheeks were still quite red, indicating she hadn’t fully recovered from the earlier embarrassment. She had taken her time to return, likely to calm herself down.

“It’s alright, please have a seat.”

Even though it felt odd to say this in Sasagawa-sensei’s house, I encouraged her to sit with a smile, since Misaki was still unsettled.

Sasagawa-sensei, probably because Misaki and I were sitting on the bed, chose to sit in the chair Misaki usually used and looked at us.

“…Why is Misaki upset…?”

Seemingly unsure of what to say, she hesitated before asking about Misaki’s anger with a nervous smile.
She wasn’t using polite language, so it seemed like she was directing her question to Misaki rather than to me.

It might be that she genuinely didn’t understand why Misaki was angry, or perhaps she was simply worried about her.

“Because—!”

“Yes, yes, no need to get angry.”

By now, I was used to this and gently covered Misaki’s mouth with my hand as she was about to raise her voice.

Following this, I turned to Sasagawa-sensei with a smile.

“It was just a bit of bad timing, so please don’t worry about it.”

I attempted to smooth things over… but…

“It’s not just that! You tried to seduce Raito-kun too…!”

Despite my efforts to cover her mouth, Misaki managed to pull my hand away and voice her complaint.

It seemed she was still holding a grudge about Sasagawa-sensei appearing in just her underwear earlier.

—Or rather, it was likely that the anger from being interrupted during our kiss had reignited her earlier frustration about the underwear incident.

“I-I wasn’t trying to seduce him…!”

Sasagawa-sensei, clearly flustered by Misaki’s accusation, turned bright red as she defended herself.

Her blush was probably due to recalling the time she was caught in her underwear.

“Wearing something that looks like you’re practically naked… Of course any boy would get excited! That’s why I always tell you to wear proper clothes when you sleep…! But you always wander around in your underwear after a bath…!”

Embarrassed to say the word “naked,” Misaki stumbled over her words, blushing furiously as she expressed her anger.

Yeah, in this regard, the sisters really are similar.
