My Cool and Straightforward Girlfriend Won't Let Me Sleep Today Either - Chapter 22

Episode 22: My 4th-Year Girlfriend Will Never Forgive Infidelity

Natsuki’s hairstyle is a short bob.

But what would you think if you found long, beautiful hair in your boyfriend’s room?

Surely, you’d think someone else had been brought into the room.

Natsuki interrogated me while stepping on my crotch, with my hands and feet bound.

“Natsuki-san. If you keep stepping there, it’ll crush…”

“So, what’s this?”

Natsuki showed me the long, beautiful hair that had fallen in the room.

Well, there’s no need to panic. I’m not cheating, after all.

I have nothing to hide, so I calmly try to persuade Natsuki.

“Calm down. I’m not cheating.”

“…Liar. Then what’s with this long hair here?”

“I’ll explain that now.”

“I don’t want to hear it.”

Natsuki refuses to listen, unable to believe that I’m not cheating.

Even though we’ve been dating for four years… I realize I’ve forgotten something.

As Natsuki continues to press down on my groin, as if holding it hostage, I take a good look at her face.

“Um, how much did you drink at the farewell party?”

“Five glasses. And I finished the leftover sake when we left the restaurant. What, do you think I can’t make rational decisions?”

She’s really drunk. She drank more than I imagined!

In her drunken state, she found long hair in her boyfriend’s room that wasn’t hers.

Yeah, it’s understandable that she’s lacking composure.

Normally cool and straightforward, Natsuki becomes unstoppable when riled up.

I regret not explaining the reason for the long hair immediately.

“Risa-chan, my stepsister, was here until a moment ago. The hair belongs to Risa-chan.”

“Your stepsister wouldn’t come over this late.”

Yeah, that makes sense.

“She had a fight with her dad and ran away from home and came to me…”

“If she ran away, why isn’t she here?”

“I called Mom, and she came to take her back. Even though we’re siblings by marriage, it wouldn’t be right to let her stay here, right?”

“Hmm.”

Oh, she’s listening a bit.

Just a little more. Just a little more, and the misunderstanding might be cleared up.

I feel relieved.

However, my relieved expression seemed to only fuel Natsuki’s fire, as if adding fuel to the fire.

“You know…, you think you’ve fooled me so well…”

“I wasn’t. Seriously, not even a bit!”

“Is that so.”

Natsuki said in a cold manner.

Then, perhaps because she was thirsty, she took out a can of chuhai from the refrigerator.

“Natsuki, that’s not good. You shouldn’t have any more.”

“I’ve been cheated on, so I can’t help but drink.”

“…Sigh. Enough.”
I take on a cold attitude that provokes Natsuki.

Since it seems impossible to accurately explain things to her, I give up.

Today, let’s just endure whatever Natsuki does.

And when Natsuki sobers up and calms down, I’ll prove that I didn’t cheat.

Today was just an unlucky day, Natsuki is usually obedient.

Surely, when she realizes that her suspicions of cheating were mistaken, she’ll be deeply sorry.

She’ll regret it proportionately to the unfair treatment she’s given me.

So, today is a day to endure.

The more I endure, the more uneasy Natsuki will feel towards me.

And I’ll make good use of her sense of guilt—

She’ll do things she doesn’t usually do!!!

Today is a day of patience.

And tomorrow, I’ll get revenge on Natsuki.

“What do you mean by ‘enough’?”

“Telling you would be pointless. You’re such a terrible girlfriend who won’t listen.”

“That’s what you’re saying? I was thinking of forgiving you if you showed some remorse.”

Forgiving me for cheating? You like me too much.

Just when I was a bit happy, Natsuki moved her foot, which seemed to have been holding me captive.

Natsuki approaches me with an irritated look.

Then, she gently touches my restrained lower abdomen as if caressing it.

“To cheat means you weren’t satisfied enough, right?”

My spine shivers, and my blood drains away.
I fear her, she exudes a dangerous atmosphere unlike before.

Today, I endure, tomorrow, I take revenge on Natsuki.

That resolves wavers in an instant.

“I’m really not cheating. Please listen to me. No, please listen!”

“Oh, I see.”

Natsuki, provoked by my defiant act, no longer listens to me.

But still, I desperately urge her to wait.

Then, Natsuki’s hand stops abruptly.

Phew, saved…

But my relief is short-lived.

Natsuki moves away from me and starts rummaging through the room.

It hasn’t been three minutes yet, has it? Natsuki returns to me holding something.

“W-What’s that?”

“I heard it makes boys feel so good that they cry when they use it.”

In Natsuki’s hands are lotion and stockings.

She seems intent on doing something she picked up somewhere.

Though I vaguely know what’s about to happen, I desperately try to persuade Natsuki.

“I love you, I really love you, Natsuki. So, let’s not do that, okay?”

“Then take responsibility and marry me.”

“Yeah, I will. I’ll marry you as many times as you want.”

“Why multiple times? Once is enough for marriage, right?”

“No, it’s just a figure of speech… I mean, even if I were reborn, I’d definitely marry you again!”

I said, and Natsuki hid her mouth with a face that didn’t seem entirely displeased.

“You love me too much…”

I felt like a way out was opening up.

I whisper my love to Natsuki again.

“I really love you, Natsuki.”

“…What’s that?”

Though she says that, Natsuki looks clearly pleased.

If I keep whispering love to her, maybe Natsuki will forgive me.

I desperately said various loving words to Natsuki.

“I love you,” “You’re cute,” “I want to see your face up close,” “I want to hold you right now,” and so on.

I squeezed out as many words of love as I could think of.

Thanks to that, Natsuki seems not entirely displeased.

“Anything else?”

Natsuki looks at me, still seeming unsatisfied.

My repertoire is running out…

“Hurry up.”

“Hey, don’t you love me?”

This troublesome drunkard.

What else is there? Words that will please Natsuki…

Suddenly, the cause of this turmoil, Risa-chan, with her large chest, came to mind.

Feeling pressured to speak quickly, my mouth slipped.

“Even if your chest is small, I still like it.”

The atmosphere in the room freezes.

Natsuki looks at me again with a cold gaze.

“Does your cheating partner have big breasts?”

“N-No, um, well…”

“…Sigh. I must’ve been stupid to almost believe in you, Minato.”

Natsuki says so,

Then she picks up the lotion and stockings lying on the floor carelessly.

“Um, what are you planning to do?”

Nervously, I ask Natsuki.

Natsuki moves her mouth slowly, as if in contempt.

“Game over.”

With a cool and straightforward demeanor, she said, and put her hand on my belt.
