The Story of A Beautiful Girl I Rescued From An Attacker Who Became My Seatmate. - Chapter 24

Sunday. It is commonly understood that it is a day off for most people.

However, my leisurely Sunday was about to be interrupted.

“Kouji~”

I could hear a voice calling me from the realm of drowsiness. But I wanted to stay wrapped up in the warm blanket. Since there’s no school today, I wanted to sleep in a little longer…

“How long are you going to sleep? It’s already morning.”

“…I’m sleepy.”

“Ugh. If you’re not going to wake up, I have other methods, you know?”

I heard a camera shutter sound, but I couldn’t care less. The warm blanket is the best. It’s a day off, so let me sleep a bit more…

“If you’re not planning to wake up…!”

Then, out of nowhere, Kirishima straddled my stomach while I was still asleep. I was startled by this and my brain suddenly woke up.

Still struggling to lift my heavy eyelids, I tried to assess the situation.

“W-What are you doing!?”

“I’m sorry, but you’re not waking up, right? Come on, wake up already!, Kouji~!”

Saying that, she started lightly patting my chest. It was kind of cute.

In a mischievous moment, I closed my eyes again. I wanted to see Kirishima’s reaction.

“Ah! You’re still sleeping? Ugh.”

Kirishima seemed quite angry that I wasn’t waking up.

“If that’s how it is… Hehehe.”

Then, Kirishima suddenly pulled off the blanket.

“Wake up, Kouji.”

“Huh!?”

Kirishima whispered in my ear, urging me to wake up. My body shivered at this unfamiliar sensation.

“If you don’t wake up, I’ll do something even more embarrassing.”

No, this is bad. This way of waking someone up is like poison to a guy. In fact, my little buddy has already started its engine.

“Um, I’ll wake up. Please spare me.”

“Oh, really?”

I actually felt a bit reluctant to wake up, but it’s a bigger problem to have that “thing” standing up in front of Kirishima. I don’t know to what extent she is knowledgeable about these things, but since we’re living together, I have to avoid making her uncomfortable.

“By the way, what time is it now?”

“Well… It’s around 8 o’clock, I think.”

8 o’clock. That used to be the time when I would definitely still be sleeping.

“You would’ve probably slept until noon if I hadn’t woken you up.”

“Ugh…”

She hit the nail on the head, and I couldn’t argue back. She probably woke me up with the intention of making me study since we have the regular exams starting tomorrow.

“Should I make breakfast?”

“Then I’ll prepare for studying during that time. I won’t let you get bad grades in the midterms, okay?”

I don’t know why she’s going to such lengths, but for me, whose grades in math and science are struggling, it’s a very appreciated gesture.

“Kouji, your sleeping face is so cute.”

“Huh?”

While grinning, Kirishima showed me the screen of her phone. It displayed a picture of me sleeping soundly, wrapped up in the blanket.

“When did…?”

“It was when I first entered the room. I thought you would wake up when I opened the door, but your sleep was quite impressive.”

Ah, how embarrassing.

“If you feel frustrated, then try waking up earlier than me.”

“I’ll definitely capture your sleeping face on camera… Kirishima…”

Kirishima seemed to be speaking the same thoughts as mine, as if she could read my mind. A mysterious sense of rivalry emerged within me, and my frustration grew.

“But I guess the only chance for that is when we sleep together. Kouji, you don’t seem like the type to enter a girl’s bedroom.”

“That’s more of a common sense or resistance.”

“Right?”

When I sleep with Kirishima, I get extremely nervous. And isn’t it strange that she falls asleep right away while I have trouble falling asleep? In the end, Kirishima is the one who ends up waking up early.

“Well, I’ll be preparing for studying, so change your clothes and come downstairs.”

Saying that, Kirishima left my room. However, due to certain circumstances, I was delayed in getting out of bed. This kind of excitement in the morning is not good for me.

“Ah, Kouji in his morning daze, it’s cool…”

After leaving the room, Kirishima was rolling around on the sofa in a blissful state.

“That cute sleeping face and that flustered expression, everything is perfect… Plus, Kouji is weak in the morning, so I can play pranks without him noticing.”

Kirishima’s heart was overflowing with love for Kouji.

“I guess I really do like Kouji. But it doesn’t seem like Kouji feels the same way.”

In a complete change of mood, Kirishima’s expression became slightly displeased. In reality, Kouji didn’t have any romantic feelings towards Kirishima yet.

“I need to think about how to win over Kouji from now on.”

As Kirishima continued to indulge in various fantasies in her mind, she proceeded to prepare for studying.
