When Two Wounded Hearts Find Solace In Each Other, Snow White (The School's Beauty) And I Were Mistakenly Labeled As A Silly Couple. - Chapter 51: Getting A Spare Key To Snow White's House.

Getting A Spare Key To Snow White’s House.

“I came…”

After visiting the maid cafe, I decided to go to Himeno’s house.

I couldn’t find peace at the maid cafe with Miki around, so I thought, why not go to the house of the person I really like for some comfort?

“Welcome. Please, come in.”

“I appreciate it.”

I took off my shoes and headed to the living room.

“Himeno.”

“Ah…”

The moment we reached the living room, I embraced her.

The unease at the maid cafe wasn’t just because of Miki; it was probably because Hinata was there.

When Miki described to Hinata about a girl with a silver-haired beauty, she had a smile on her face, but deep down, it didn’t seem genuine.

As if she held a strong grudge against the silver-haired girl.

That discomfort was real for me, prompting me to go to Himeno’s house.

I wanted to forget about Hinata by being with the person I liked.

However, no matter how acquainted I may be with Miki, it won’t be easy to meet casually since we go to different schools.

There was no certainty, and if it was all a misunderstanding, it wouldn’t be a problem.

But based on the impression I got today, we certainly wouldn’t get along.

“You came to my house at night, so something must have happened. I’ll lend you my chest, so please feel at ease.”

Himeno hugged my head tightly, and I buried my face in her chest.

Even though my rationality was wearing away, being with Himeno still felt pleasant.

From Himeno’s perspective, she might think that I was distressed about Marika, but without any other though, I decided to rely on her chest.

***

“Thank you.”

After about thirty minutes, I pulled away from her chest.

Himeno, who not only allowed me to bury my face in her chest for such a long time but also gently stroked my head without saying anything unpleasant, is truly an angel.

I feel so comforted to the point where everything else doesn’t matter.

It could be the effect of being treated this way by someone you like, but at least with Marika, I wouldn’t have been comforted to this extent.

Maybe it’s because we’ve been together since childhood that it didn’t have the same effect.

“No, if it’s you, I’ll do it anytime.”

To do so much for someone you’re not even in a relationship with is genuinely kind.

Right now, I’m just taking advantage of Himeno’s kindness, but in the future, I’ll have to make her fall for me to the point of wanting to be in a relationship.

Just so we can be together all the time.

“Besides, I’m glad you came. It gets lonely by myself…”

Her voice sounded genuinely lonely.

I have a childhood friend, but like Himeno, living alone, she doesn’t have anyone.

Maybe it’s because being together has become so natural, but still, being alone is undoubtedly lonely.

It’s a bit strange to feel lonely while living alone, but there might be various reasons for that.

“If you’re lonely, I’ll lend you my chest again.”

Since I borrowed hers earlier, it’s only fair to offer mine this time.

“Thank you.”

Himeno, seemingly delighted to have her chest lent again, smiled and leaned her face against my chest.

However, this time, there seems to be more than just loneliness in her feelings.

Perhaps going to the maid cafe after seeing her off was a mistake.

It might be too late to regret going to the maid cafe, but I can still do something to ease her loneliness now.

My current job is to alleviate her loneliness as much as possible.

I wrapped my arms around her back, wanting to comfort her even a little bit.

Himeno isn’t alone, I want to convey that to her.

“When I’m with Taka-kun, all my anxieties disappear, and I feel safe.”

The temptation to push down Himeno, who snuggles against my cheek and looks too cute, overwhelms me, but I have to restrain myself because she trusts me.

If I give in to this impulse now, we might not be able to be together anymore.

It’s something that might be acceptable in a relationship, but not in our current situation.

“Taka-kun, would you stay over tonight?”

“Stay over?”

“Yes. I don’t want to let you go.”

Seeming truly unwilling to part, her embrace tightens.

“Sure.”

Being together all night is something I’m happy about, and I agree while stroking Himeno’s head.

With a happy smile, she thanks me and buries her face in my chest once again.

I ran to her house, so I’m a bit sweaty, but it seems like she doesn’t mind the smell much.

If she disliked the smell, she probably wouldn’t do something like this.

“You can come whenever you want, Taka-kun, so I’ll give you a spare key to my house.”

She takes a key from the table without letting go and hands it to me.

“Is that okay?”

“Yes. I want you to come anytime. Please use the spare key to enter from tomorrow onwards.”

“Got it.”

Receiving a spare key to the house of the person you like is enough to make you ecstatic, but it wouldn’t be good to show too much joy.

I celebrate internally with a fist pump before hugging Himeno again.

“You could show a little more excitement, you know…”

Himeno murmurs something quietly.
