I Was a Loner Who Tried Finding an Otaku Friend on a Matching App and Ended Up Matching with the Number-One Beauty Who Won the University Miss Contest - Chapter 23-24

Chapter 23: The Miss Contest Queen Wants to Touch the Protagonist’s Thing

With shopping bags in both hands, I head back to the apartment with Amane-san.

Just an hour ago I left the house by myself, and now an hour later I’m coming home with the university’s Miss Contest queen.

“Hey, hurry up and unlock the door, Akito-kun.”

“My hands are full, so could you open it for me, Amane-san?”

I take one step forward and kinda shove the right pocket of my jeans right toward her.

“Um, the key’s in my right pocket, so could you grab it for me?”

“…………”

“Amane-san?”

“…Hey, Akito-kun.”

Amane-san suddenly looks super serious and stares straight at my face.

Wh-what’s with that…?

“Telling a girl to rummage around inside your pocket like that… that’s—”

“Ah! W-wait, did I make you uncomfortable?! Then I’ll just get it mys—”

“That’s way too dirty!”

“Huh?”

Amane-san lets out this excited little “mufu~” breath all of a sudden.

It’s literally just taking the key out of my pocket… and that’s *dirty*?!

“Wh-where exactly are you getting excited?! Just take it already!”

“Because!! What if when I reach deep into the pocket I accidentally go *boing* and touch Akito-kun’s Akito-kun!! What then?!”

“My—my what?! What in the world are you talking about, Amane-san!”

“Eh… um, well—”

Amane-san presses both hands to her cheeks that are turning bright red, then her lips curve into a tiny smile.

“Jeez, Akito-kun… doing shame play and stuff… you’re so naughty~”

“Why am I the one getting accused of that?!!”

On top of already having no clue what Amane-san is even going on about, somehow I’m the one who’s suddenly guilty of doing shame play.

“Just get the key already! We’ve got eggs in here too, so I wanna put them in the fridge quick!”

“Okay, okay… but if I happen to go *squish* and touch Akito-kun’s Akito-kun, you have to forgive me, okay?”

“Whatever! Just do it!”

Amane-san fidgets like crazy while she slides her hand into my right pocket.

“…Hm? Here we go.”

And just like that, she smoothly finds the key and pulls it out.

“…Ah, got it.”

“Thanks. Now just unlock the door like that—”

“Haa…”

“Hey, what’s with that disappointed sigh?!”

Why does she sound so bummed out?

We’re finally going inside the room, so what’s there to be disappointed about?

Ever since we got here, just getting through the front door has already taken us almost ten minutes of standing around bickering and wasting time for no reason.

Chapter 24: A Miss Contest Queen in My Room!? Rom-Com Development Incoming!?

It took us way too long just to unlock the door, but we finally made it into my room.

“Okaaay, excuse meee~!”

Yui said that in a super hyped-up voice, neatly lined up her shoes after taking them off, and then pat-pat-patted her way inside.

Jeez, why’s she so pumped up?

Is it ’cause it’s her first time in a guy’s room and she’s all curious or something?

Knowing Yui, that sounds exactly like her…

My room’s not even that special though. It’s basically just got a bookshelf stuffed with light novels.

Meanwhile I followed after her kinda dumbfounded.

My room doesn’t have much big furniture besides the bookshelf packed to the brim with light novels. There’s a TV, a sofa, a low table. And then the bed way in the back. That’s pretty much it.

Oh crap, I gotta put the groceries in the fridge quick.

So before heading deeper into the room, I stuck the ingredients in the fridge first.

“Wow, it’s actually really tidy!”

“That’s the very first thing you say after walking in? Did you think I was living in some filthy trash room or what?”

“Ah! This room fragrance is the exact scent I love! Wait… don’t tell me you picked it to match my taste…”

“What kinda person changes their room fragrance depending on who’s coming over?! It’s just a coincidence, okay!”

Ugh, if I keep matching her energy like this I’m never gonna catch up.

“Waaah! So many light novels!!”

Yui’s eyes were sparkling as she stared at the bookshelf lined up perfectly with them.

I collect light novels centered around old classic hits, series from my favorite labels, and my favorite genres.

So the shelf ends up looking kinda uniform, like a bookstore section.

“If you want, I can lend you more than just volume 2 of Opasui. I’ve got others too.”

“Really!? Are there more lactation-themed light novels?!”

“Nah, Opasui is pretty much the only lactation series I’ve got. Wait—hold up, Yui, you’re still not satisfied with that genre?”

“Ehehe… if you don’t get a boyfriend by the time you’re 20, this is what happens, so be careful, okay Akito-kun?”

“What kinda awful warning is that?!”

Right after that embarrassed giggle she suddenly went dead serious, so I got chills. In all kinds of ways.

From everything she’s said so far, Yui totally knows how gorgeous she is. She could get a boyfriend whenever she wanted—one or two would be easy.

Plus didn’t she say something before about love being free or whatever?

It’s way too personal to ask, but why she doesn’t date anyone has been a total mystery this whole time.

“Oh right, lunch time. Can I borrow the kitchen?”

“Of course, but sorry it’s kinda tiny.”

“Why’re you apologizing~? Anyway, Akito-kun, I’m gonna make you something super yummy, so just wait and look forward to it, okay? ♡”

Yui shot me an idol-level, super calculated cute wink and headed toward the kitchen.

“I’m borrowing this apron, ’kay~?”

“Ah, yeah sure.”

Handmade food from Yui, huh…

Since she went to that fancy rich-girl school, she probably got all kinds of elite education… so I bet her cooking’s top-tier too.

Half excited, half nervous, I just waited like that.
