I'm in a Messed Up Situation that I Couldn't Care More. - Chapter 27 The Comfortable Hugging Pillow

Chapter 27: The Comfortable Hugging Pillow

My head feels heavy.

It’s Saturday, so there are no classes.

And I think my shift at work starts in the afternoon.

I guess I can sleep a little longer…

This hugging pillow is strangely comfortable though.

It’s warm, soft, and has just the right amount of bumps.

And it smells nice, too.

Wait a minute.

Did I even have a hugging pillow?

As I slowly opened my eyes, I saw a person’s head in front of me.

“Eh?!?”

I bolt upright in shock.

“… Koichi, you’re finally up.”

Yamaguchi Yuuka also got up from my bed.

———————

“Why is Yamaguchi-san here?”

“Good morning, Koichi.”

Yamaguchi-san smiled at me.

Her shirt was unbuttoned, revealing her shoulders.

“Oh, and call me Yuuka too.”

“Yuuka…? Well, okay…

Hey, didn’t we go to an izakaya together yesterday?

What happened after that…? Why can’t I remember?”

I gave my head a light tap.

There’s a blank spot in my memory.

“Koichi accidentally drank an alcoholic beverage.

Don’t you remember?”

“I don’t remember anything at all.”

Yamaguchi-san… Yuuka tilted her head, looking at me intently.

“I don’t remember, but did I do something weird to you?”

“Yes, you did,”

Yuuka replied softly, looking a bit embarrassed.

“Eh?!? You don’t mean…?!”

“Yes… You kissed me. 

And you took off my clothes and touched me all over.

I couldn’t resist…”

“Did I really do that?!?… All the way too…?!”

“All the way.”

I bowed down and prostrated myself on the floor.

“I’m sorry!! Really, I mean, I know saying sorry isn’t enough, but…”

After rubbing my head on the floor, I slowly looked up at Yuuka.

She briefly flashed a satisfied, yet mischievous expression.

Did I have sex with Yuuka?!?

But it’s strange that there’s no evidence of it.

Eh?!?

Isn’t it bad that there’s no evidence?

Worried about finding used contraceptives or trash, I checked under the bed and rummaged through the trash can.

… There’s nothing!!

“Yuuka!! Let’s go to the hospital. A gynecologist.”

I pull on Yuuka’s arm.

“Hospital? Why?”

Yuuka’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Because…”

“It’s fine, Koichi. I don’t need to go to the hospital. I’m perfectly fine.”

“Are you sure? I’ll come with you. Let’s just go, just in case.”

“I’m telling you, I’m fine!”

Yuuka’s firm tone made it difficult for me to argue further.

“Koichi, it was my first time. I was so scared.”

“Your first time?!?”

My voice cracked in surprise.

“Well, there’s no… blood or anything.” 

She looked at the bed.

“Eh?… I, I wiped it off!”

“… Yuuka, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. It must have hurt…”

Yuuka shook her head silently.

“I was so scared. Koichi, will you take responsibility?”

Yuuka clung to me.

“Responsibility…?”

“Yes. Since we’re now physically involved, I want you to be my boyfriend.”
