I Was Unreasonably Dumped By My Girlfriend And Had My Heart Broken. When I Rescued A Beautiful Girl Who Was My Former Classmate And Idol In My Class From A Group Of Yarisa, My Gray College Life Started To Shine - Chapter 23
Episode 23: First Visit To The Beautiful Girl’s House
The intruder turned out to be just G, end of story.
I thought that would be the end of it, but in the end, I found myself heading towards Aoba’s apartment.
After getting her address again and relying on a map app, I aimed for her apartment.
There was no need to rush anymore, so I was heading there slowly, but surprisingly, the apartment was closer than I thought.
Even with a stop at the convenience store along the way, I reached the entrance of the apartment in a short time.
The first time I came here, I had to take a train from Ueno Station back to the nearest station, but it seems that was because I didn’t know the way.
While marveling at this discovery, I climbed up to the third floor where her room was.
“Oh, Nogami-kun!”
And there was Aoba.
She stood up energetically from her position squatting in front of the entrance door, her knees pulled close to her.
She was wearing polka dot pajamas.
Apparently, she wasn’t wearing makeup, and her hair wasn’t styled. She was completely natural, but her beauty didn’t seem to diminish in the slightest.
Although her direction seemed to have changed a bit.
In gaming terms, it’s like changing the allocation of stats points from balanced to defensive.
Her makeup-free face gave her a more innocent and cute impression than usual.
At least, it didn’t seem fitting for her to be sitting alone in the hallway of the apartment.
“What are you doing here in a place like this?”
“I was waiting for you, Nogami-kun. You said I didn’t have to come to pick you up, but I didn’t want to stay at home.”
“It’s dangerous to wander around late at night. There might be suspicious people.”
“But, that guy is inside my house. Isn’t he scarier than a suspicious person?”
Aoba hugged herself, trembling.
“Just thinking about it makes me feel terrible. It gives me the creeps.”
And she began to gradually retreat from the entrance door, moving further away. She even shook her head, messing up her hair.
Obviously, she was seriously affected.
While sighing, I showed Aoba the precautionary items I bought from the convenience store.
“I bought a few things just in case, but which one do you want? A spray for direct spraying, a spray to scatter inside the house, or traps to catch it?”
“Which one among those can definitely get rid of it? Which one can definitely take it down?”
“Your way of putting it is scary, hey. Maybe the spray to scatter inside the house. But if we use that, we won’t be able to enter the house for a while.”
“I don’t care anymore, as long as we can defeat it! If we don’t defeat it, we can’t enter anyway.”
With this exchange, the method of getting rid of G was decided easily.
However, since it had to be spread inside the house, Aoba couldn’t do it right now.
“The door is unlocked, Aoba-san.”
“Huh, yeah. I’ve been waiting in front of the house all along.”
“Then I’ll do it. It’s not a big deal. Can I come in?”
“Um… wait a minute. Let me think.”
Aoba murmured something to herself with her mouth.
“My underwear is hanging in the bathroom, and the socks I took off are lying around…”
Though it was unnecessary information, I pretended not to hear it.
“We can’t afford to be choosy…! Please, go ahead. Just don’t look at anything weird, okay?”
“I’ll handle it properly.”
With Aoba’s permission, I opened the door to her apartment. It was effectively the first time entering a girl’s house.
I had gone up to my ex-girlfriend Asuka’s apartment to help with the move, but at that time, nothing had been placed yet.
Actually stepping into a room where someone lived made me a bit nervous.
…I never thought it would turn out like this, though.
I took off my shoes and went up to the room. First, I crossed the kitchen which also served as a hallway.
As Aoba had said earlier, there were two pairs of freshly taken off socks lying there. Moreover, the door leading to the bathroom was open, and it all felt quite vivid.
It truly felt like a room where life was being lived.
It didn’t seem like the place where that angelic girl would live.
For a moment, the words “underwear hanging” flashed through my mind, but I had enough rationality to suppress the desire to see.
While closing my eyes as much as possible, I slipped into the living room.
