My Cool and Straightforward Girlfriend Won't Let Me Sleep Today Either - Chapter 24

Episode 24: My 4th-Year Girlfriend is Reflecting Properly

Natsuki, my girlfriend, was supposed to wear a maid outfit.

And to top it off, with a maid role-play as a bonus.

Natsuki immediately changes into the maid outfit that I received from a friend from college.

“Sigh, is this okay? Master?”

Natsuki, in her cute maid outfit, speaks in an emotionless voice.

“You’re so cute. Seriously, thank you.”

The maid outfit, used at a university cultural festival, was handmade by a girl who loves making costumes for cosplay cafes. It wasn’t made of flimsy material like those sold at discount stores; it was well-made.

It must have cost a lot just for the fabric alone, and getting such a good item for free was truly lucky.

“Yes, yes. Thank you for your compliments.”

“No, no, I mean it, you’re really cute.”

“…Sure.”

With a not-so-satisfied face, Natsuki responded in a straightforward manner.

I think Natsuki’s charm lies in how she tries to act aloof but fails to hide her affection.

Anyway, since Natsuki has successfully put on the maid outfit, I immediately ask her to do something for me.

“I want to eat omurice.”

“…Seriously? Isn’t that a bit cliché?”

“Well, when you think of a maid outfit, you think of omurice, right?”

“Seriously, if you like maid outfits that much, why don’t you just go to a cafe?”

Natsuki says it lightly.

However, I am a man without the courage to even visit a friend at a maid cafe during the cultural festival.

In reality, there’s no way I’d ever go to a maid cafe.

And well.

“Can I ask, is it okay to go?”

“…Ha?”

What, you want to play with girls other than me?

Natsuki glares at me with a murderous intent.

“No, I have no intention of going.”

I never planned to go in the first place, but if you’re going to get jealous, I definitely won’t go, right?

“Then fine.”

“Why don’t you just tell me not to go directly?”

I want to hear something cute from my tsuntsun girlfriend.

If I were to say something like that, Natsuki would probably say something threatening.

“If you go, I won’t kill you… but I will punish you, okay?”

“…Well, it’s the usual Natsuki in a maid outfit… so, where’s the bonus maid role-play?”

“Tsk. Fine. M-a-s-t-e-r! What shall your humble maid do?”

A rushed maid role-play.

I thought maids were supposed to be cuter and more gentle, maybe even overprotective…

But this isn’t bad either, I suppose.

“I still want you to make omurice.”

“Impossible. We’re out of eggs.”

“Then let’s go buy some…”
“Changing clothes is a hassle, so Master, please go buy them.”

The arrogant maid orders me around.

Ugh, I really want to eat omurice.

So, instead of the maid, I dash to the supermarket to buy eggs.

When I return with the eggs, Natsuki has already made ketchup rice.

For some reason, she’s wearing an apron.

“Why did you take off the maid outfit?”

“I don’t want to get the maid outfit dirty. Ketchup is hard to clean.”

“Well, even so, was it necessary to wear just the apron?”

“Well, you know. I felt bad for Minato…”

“I really like that about you.”

She’s reflecting properly and feeling guilty.

That’s why Natsuki, thinking I would be pleased, waited for me in just an apron.

If I have her cute, beautifully toned butt in front of me, there’s no way I can resist touching it.

So, I touch Natsuki’s butt.

“You always like touching my butt too much, don’t you?”

“It’s the same as you liking my cheeks.”

When Natsuki touches me, she often starts from my cheeks.

It’s similar.

“It’s not the same.”

“No, it’s the same.”

“…Sure, whatever.”

Playfully touching Natsuki’s butt as she cooks.

Honestly, I want to touch her chest too, but let’s refrain from that.

Even if Natsuki were to get in the mood from being touched…

Considering how hard the punishment was, I don’t have confidence that Natsuki would respond to me in my current state.

I mean, if I touch her and give her strong stimulation, I might get… somewhat excited.

But that’s just a foolish thought.

While I’m lost in my thoughts, Natsuki asks me something.

“You’ve really become a pervert lately. What’s going on with you?”

“Can I say it?”

“Yeah, go ahead.”

“Natsumi doesn’t hold back, so it’s stupid if I do, right?”

“…Right.”

Hearing my unexpected response, Natsuki twists her face.

Apparently, she never considered that her actions might have caused me to become a pervert.

Well, if you think about it normally, you’d understand.

“But still, it’s late for it to happen in the fourth year.”

“Huh?”

“I mean, usually, people like us, who let loose like this, would have done it much earlier, don’t you think?”

While lightly tapping Natsuki’s butt, I say.

Maybe I annoyed her a bit because Natsuki turned to face me, pushing my hand away.

“You said you let loose, but I’m still holding back, you know?”

“…Huh? Even now?”

Did I mishear her?

Is Natsuki, who squeezes me as she pleases, still holding back?

“I said I’m holding back.”

“Oh, right. So, what are you holding back?”

“Stupid.”

“Huh, huh?”

“I said that as a joke.”

I breathe a sigh of relief. I wish she’d stop making jokes that could hurt me.

But… could it be that Natsuki’s words, “I’m still holding back,” weren’t a joke after all?
