My Cool and Straightforward Girlfriend Won't Let Me Sleep Today Either - Chapter 16

Episode 16: My 4th Year Girlfriend Is In A Good Mood Since The Morning

You’ll take tomorrow off, and you don’t have a part-time job, right?”

With a calm voice, Natsuki said this, delivering a final blow to me, who had been exhausted for four consecutive days.

The next morning after experiencing a night that made me feel both pleasure and pain, as if my head was going to go crazy.

I woke up feeling a little sluggish.

“Sigh… Today, I definitely won’t.”

Making up my mind, I get out of bed.

Then, Natsuki, who was lying next to me, also seems to have woken up.

“Good morning.”

As I greet her in the morning, Natsuki stares at my face silently.

With her narrow morning eyes, Natsuki beckons me with a gesture.

As I approach, Natsuki gives me a light kiss as a substitute for a morning greeting. Ever since the day we confirmed that she didn’t mind my scent, she’s been like this.

After the light kiss, Natsuki gets up from bed as if nothing happened and heads to the kitchen.

“…You drink tea, right?”

“Did I have tea leaves in my house?”

“I brought some from home yesterday.”

Natsuki takes out a bag of high-quality tea leaves from her bag.

“Well then, I’ll take you up on that offer.”

“Hmm.”

Natsuki let out a light exhale in response.

About six minutes after asking if I wanted tea, Natsuki hands me the finished tea, saying, “be careful”.

I blow on the tea to cool it down before sipping it.

Indeed, the tea leaves are of high quality. The aroma is very refreshing and vivid, and the taste is solid.

And there’s no bitterness at all.

“Phew…”

Feeling relieved, I let out a sigh.

The temperature of the air conditioner in my room is set to low because Natsuki and I are sleeping together, so the warm tea is soothing to me.

When the tea in the mug runs out, Natsuki starts stretching.

I follow suit.

“Ouch…”

Not used to exercising much, my body doesn’t bend as I want it to.

Seeing this, Natsuki, with an expression of resignation, pushes my back firmly.

As Natsuki loosens my stiff body, I decide to confirm something just in case.

“We’re not doing it today, right?”

“If Minato really wants to, we can do it.”

“…No~ that’s not going to happen.”

I respond to Natsuki with a wry smile.

After enjoying the tea and stretching, something happened while Natsuki and I were showering together…

Suddenly, Natsuki’s hand reaches out to my private area.

“Hey, didn’t we agree not to do it!?”

I mentioned that we should take a shower because I got a little sweaty from stretching, and I thought Natsuki would say something cute like, “Can I join you?” But it seems I misunderstood.

Since I really didn’t intend to do it today, I hurriedly escaped from Natsuki.

Cornered in a corner of the bathroom, Natsuki looks at me with an amazed expression.

“Sigh… I just wanted to check how it feels after shaving.”

“Oh, I see. That’s what it was…”

The other day, Natsuki made me smooth in the bath.

As long as hair follicles are alive, hair will grow.

Oh, I see.

Natsuki wanted to shower together to check if there were any problems with hair growth or skin irritation.

Yes, that’s it. This is the cuteness I was seeking.

And Natsuki carefully checks my lower abdomen while nodding.

“It’s not too bumpy, and there’s no redness on the skin.”

“Thanks to my excellent girlfriend.”

Natsuki carefully takes care of me after I’ve been shaved smooth.

Yesterday night, she even applied moisturizing cream after taking a shower.

There’s no doubt that the reason I haven’t had any skin irritation is because of Natsuki’s perfect aftercare.

“I was worried that I might cause skin irritation, but I’m relieved.”

“You were worried? You’re such a cute girlfriend…”

“…It’s not like that.”

The cool and straightforward Natsuki denies it as a cover-up.
I expressed my concern to her.

“Aren’t you worried about the other side being criticized?”

“It’s just the tip, so it’s fine. Oh, did something happen?”

Natsuki asks with an anxious look.

“Nothing happened.”

“..Don’t want me to worry about it?”

“My bad.”

Before I knew it, I was apologizing.

But even though she’s cool and straightforward, Natsuki is a good girl.

With a slightly apologetic expression, she apologizes in a small voice while turning away.

“Sorry… I guess I overdid it.”

“Well, I’m not really bothered by it, so don’t worry.”

Saying that, I resumed showering.

Amidst the sound of water flowing, I hear a muffled voice.

“Next time, make sure to say something before you criticize…”

“Huh? Did you say something just now?”

“I didn’t say anything. It’s just Minato’s imagination.”

This time, I heard an ominous comment about saying something before criticizing, but it seems it wasn’t true.

“That’s fine then…”

I resumed showering.

While I’m showering, Natsuki sits on a small plastic chair like the ones you see at public baths and starts washing her hair.

By the time I finish showering and am clean, I ask Natsuki.

“Should I rinse your hair with hot water?”

“…Please.”

I hold the showerhead and aim it at Natsuki’s cute bobbed hair.

Then, I gently rinse off the shampoo that’s stuck to her hair.

Once it’s all washed out, I squeeze the water out of Natsuki’s hair.

Then, I take some conditioner and work it into her hair.

When we shower together, I often take care of Natsuki like this.

Is it troublesome?

Well, it’s certainly a bit of a hassle, but…

Natsuki, who is being taken care of, sings cheerfully.

Yes, even if it’s a bit of a hassle, it’s not a problem at all because I get to see Natsuki’s cute side.
