The Nurse’s Office Angel Only Acts Sweet to Me Again Today ~ I Was Kind to a Beautiful Girl Who Goes to the Nurse’s Office and She Became Attached to Me ~ - Chapter 14-15

Chapter 13: The Angel’s Feelings and One Proposal

After school, I headed to the Nurse’s Office.

It was Thursday today.

Since my health committee duties would end tomorrow, Friday, I only had two more days to work with Komichi Yukino.

But if going out after school became a regular thing, maybe my time with Yukino could continue…

“It all depends on Yukino, doesn’t it?”

I had no say in the matter.

Whether we’d keep hanging out together was entirely up to Yukino.

“If she says she doesn’t want to… it’s over.”

If someone like Yukino said “no” to me, that’d be a shock in itself…

And my own feelings? I still wasn’t sure.

Up until now, I’d always enjoyed my “alone time.”

Walking with Yukino yesterday, to be honest, was fun.

I never knew walking with someone could be so enjoyable, and if I hadn’t met Yukino, I probably never would’ve.

Yukino and I…

Lost in thought, I arrived at the Nurse’s Office.

“…”

Why was I feeling nervous?

I’d never cared what others thought of me before.

But now… I couldn’t stop wondering what Yukino thought of me and whether she’d want to keep hanging out.

“Excuse me.”

When I entered the Nurse’s Office, Yasumoto-sensei wasn’t there—only Yukino, sitting at the desk.

“Y-Yukino.”

“…Ready to get to work?”

“Y-Yeah.”

Since Yasumoto-sensei wasn’t around, I’d have to bring it up myself.

Did Yukino want to go out with me again?

“What’s wrong, Shunta-kun?”

“Huh? Nothing. Let’s go.”

I grabbed the basket of toilet paper and the checklist, and we headed out to check the school’s restrooms, working through our tasks together.

I wanted to bring up what Yukino thought about the future before this job was over, but…

“Shunta-kun… about those matcha sweets from yesterday, I looked them up on a video site, and there were so many. All those shops are famous, aren’t they?”

“Y-Yeah.”

Since we started, Yukino hadn’t stopped talking about matcha.

“That was my first time having such delicious crepes. There aren’t any matcha sweets shops like that crepe place around here, so it was a rare experience.”

“Yeah, I guess.”

Yukino must’ve really liked that shop from yesterday.

I wanted to talk about the future, but her matcha obsession wouldn’t let up, and I couldn’t find an opening.

Come on, her matcha talk was going on way too long…

“Shunta-kun, I want to go again.”

“Huh?”

As we descended the stairs from the fourth floor to the third, a golden opportunity presented itself.

She wanted to… go again?

This was my chance to ask.

“Yukino!”

“?”

“W-Well, I mean…”

I stopped on a higher step, and Yukino, a step below, turned to look up at me, tilting her head curiously.

It wasn’t a big deal.

All I had to do was ask if she wanted to go out again. Simple enough… but I was scared.

I didn’t understand girls’ feelings.

I’d never hung out with a girl before, and I had no clue what they were thinking.

Maybe it was a stereotype, but I always thought girls were moody. Even if we had fun eating out together yesterday, she might not want to do it again.

Maybe she’d rather go with someone else.

If Yukino thought it didn’t have to be me, then I…

I could probably use her narcolepsy treatment as an excuse to go out again.

But I wanted to respect Yukino’s feelings.

“Yukino, did you have fun with me yesterday?”

I asked her directly, my heart pounding so loudly I could barely hear.

“…!”

“What did you say just now…?”

When I asked again, Yukino quickly climbed the stairs, stood on her tiptoes, and brought her mouth close to my ear.

“Being with Shunta-kun… is fun.”

Her soft whisper brushed against my ear.

Yukino… thought it was fun?

My face burned the moment I heard it.

Yukino, her cheeks flushed, stepped back and skipped down the stairs.

“Yukino!”

I chased after her, racing down the steps.

When she reached the third floor, Yukino stopped abruptly and turned around.

“Sh-Shunta-kun!”

“Huh?”

“Shunta-kun… do you find it boring being with me?”

Her voice was faint, almost fragile.

“No way! If I was bored, I’d have ditched this job already.”

“…Hehe, good.”

Yukino smiled, spun around happily, her glossy, translucent hair swaying.

“So, wanna go somewhere again? Sweets are fine, of course… but you eat so much, Yukino.”

“Don’t act like you know me. Yesterday wasn’t even close to eating too much. Maybe thirty percent.”

“Thirty percent? That’s not something to brag about!”

Seriously, thirty percent? Was she a monster?

“Hey, Shunta-kun, I have a proposal.”

“What’s that?”

“You mentioned your ‘alone time’ before… How about instead of ‘alone time,’ we make it ‘together time’ from now on?”

“Together… time?”

“I want to keep a record of the places we go. I want to hold onto the things I see…”

And so, our “together time” began.

Chapter 14: Together Time with the Angel

The week after I started regularly going out for “together time” with the Nurse’s Office angel, Komichi Yukino, I found myself heading to the Nurse’s Office again.

This week, my health committee duties were already over, but I wasn’t going there because I was injured.

The only reason I was going was to talk with Yukino about where we’d go next.

“Excuse me.”

“Hey! Look who’s here, the pickup artist!”

In the Nurse’s Office was not Yukino but the school’s nurse, Yasumoto-sensei, dressed as usual in a youthful red blouse and black miniskirt, with pantyhose and red high heels.

“Hey, pickup artist!”

“Quiet down. What’s with calling me a pickup artist?”

“Come on, you flirted with Yukino, and now you two are going out together again, right? You smooth talker!”

Yasumoto-sensei came closer, put her hand on my shoulder, and started teasing me.

Then her unnecessarily large chest pressed against my body… so big.

“Oh, the pickup artist is eyeing my chest.”

“I’m not.”

“Wow, if average-sized Yukino heard that, she’d be heartbroken. Oh no!”

Ugh… if this woman wasn’t a teacher, even someone like me might’ve made a move by now.

“Anyway, where’s Yukino?”

“Anyway!? My gorgeous nurse’s chest is just ‘anyway’!? You virgin! Are you picking a fight!?”

Yasumoto-sensei, clearly unhinged, angrily pressed her chest against my arm again and again.

After so many times, it started to lose its appeal…

“Is Yasumoto-sensei always like this?”

“Like what?”

“You know, being annoying and clingy.”

“Hmph, I’m not usually like this!”

“You don’t have a boyfriend, do you?”

“Shut up! Keep talking, and I’ll tell Yukino all sorts of things—true or not!”

“Yeah, yeah, do what you want. So, where’s Yukino?”

I smoothly shifted the conversation back, and Yasumoto-sensei finally calmed down.

“Yukino’s in the restroom. She’ll be back soon, so wait here.”

“Got it.”

I decided to wait in the Nurse’s Office—

“Sensei!”

The sliding door to the Nurse’s Office burst open with a loud snap, and a tanned girl in a sports uniform rushed in from the hallway.

“Hey! The Angel’s over there!”

The athletic girl looked panicked.

Yasumoto-sensei and I exchanged a glance and immediately rushed to her.

“What happened to Yukino!?”

Yasumoto-sensei, her face pale, questioned the girl.

The athletic girl, breathing heavily, continued.

“W-Well…! She was sitting in front of the restroom over there, so I asked, ‘Are you okay?’ but she didn’t respond!”

The moment I heard that, I bolted out of the Nurse’s Office.

Yukino must’ve fallen asleep due to her narcolepsy.

“Yukino…!”

When I reached the restroom, I saw Yukino sitting near the entrance, asleep as before.

Like a princess in a flower garden, she sat on the floor with her skirt spread out, legs tucked under.

Thankfully, no one else was around.

If someone like that athletic girl made a big deal out of it, it’d be trouble…

“Nn…”

Yukino, looking sleepy, slowly opened her heavy eyelids.

“Yukino, you awake?”

“…Shunta-kun?”

Yukino rubbed her eyes and wobbled to her feet.

“Yukino! Are you okay!?”

Yasumoto-sensei came running, her large chest bouncing up and down.

“Yasumoto-sensei, I’m sorry. I fell asleep again.”

“No, I’m sorry. I noticed you were taking a while, but I didn’t check on you.”

Yasumoto-sensei gently patted Yukino’s head, looking apologetic.

She really acts like an adult when it comes to Yukino.

“Shunta-kun, sorry about this.”

“Don’t worry about it, Yukino. You’re safe, that’s what matters.”

“…Yeah.”

Yukino still seemed a bit down.

She couldn’t shake the feeling that she’d caused trouble.

“Come to think of it, the last time you fell asleep in front of the restroom was around this time too, right? Is there some kind of pattern?”

“No, Shunta, there’s no pattern. Yukino’s symptoms are irregular,” Yasumoto-sensei replied.

“Sensei, it’s a little different. After using the restroom… I feel a bit relaxed, and it makes me sleepy,” Yukino said, her face flushed with embarrassment.

“H-Hey, Yukino! Don’t say stuff like that in front of me!”

“Yeah, Yukino, if you talk like that in front of Shunta, he’ll start imagining you doing your business,” Yasumoto-sensei teased.

“I’m not imagining anything!”

“Doing my business? Shunta-kun, what’s that mean?”

“Ugh, enough! Let’s just go back to the Nurse’s Office and decide where we’re going for our next together time.”

I said this to Yukino and started walking ahead.

“Sensei, Shunta-kun’s acting weird. Is he mad because I fell asleep?”

“Nah, that’s just puberty. He’s fine.”

God, this teacher’s so annoying…!

✳︎✳︎

Back in the Nurse’s Office, the athletic girl who had called us earlier was still there.

“Oh, Angel, you’re okay!”

The cheerful, tanned girl walked up to Yukino and stroked her beautiful hair.

“Who are you…?” Yukino asked, tilting her head in confusion.

She didn’t know the situation.

“I’m Honoka Adachi, first-year, track, volleyball, and soccer clubs! Nice to meet you, Angel!”

“…”

Yukino quickly hid behind my back.

I’d forgotten since she talks to me so easily now, but Yukino’s pretty shy around new people.

“Aw, did I scare her?” Honoka said with a wry smile.

I didn’t think Yukino disliked her, but… well, it was their first meeting, so it made sense.

“Well, leaving Angel aside, what about you?” Honoka asked, pointing at me.

“Me?”

“Yeah! You’re a first-year, judging by your tie, but I haven’t seen you in Class C. Are you in B or A?”

“I’m Shunta Nukumori, first-year, Class B.”

“Shunta-kun, huh. What’s your deal with Angel?”

“Yukino and Shunta are a thing,” Yasumoto-sensei said annoyingly while brewing coffee, spouting another teasing lie.

She never runs out of ways to mess with me.

“No way! For real?” Honoka exclaimed.

“Nope, not true,” I denied immediately, sitting on the Nurse’s Office sofa.

Yukino, who’d been hiding behind me, sat next to me.

“Oh, got it. Well, I’m heading back to club activities. See ya, Angel!” Honoka said.

“…Yeah,” Yukino replied shyly, nodding as she watched Honoka leave.

From the looks of it, Yukino didn’t talk much with other girls her age.

“Hey, Shunta-kun… let’s hurry and decide our next place, okay?”

“Y-Yeah, sure.”
