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 64: Studying While Flirting With Snow White.

Studying While Flirting With Snow White.

“I completely forgot about the test…”

After savoring the nape of the person I liked, I felt a sense of urgency from Himeno’s words, “Are you studying for the test properly?”

Even though I had never received a failing grade before, it was because I had been studying diligently.

It’s not like I would fail if I didn’t study, but I would likely end up with a score close to failing if I didn’t.

After having breakfast, Himeno and I decided to study for the test in my room.

Lately, I had been thinking too much about Himeno, and I had almost forgotten about the upcoming test.

Marika, who had come over for breakfast and then left, probably didn’t want to disturb us being together.

Until now, she would have said something like, “Big sister will help you study,” and we would have studied together.

“If there’s anything you don’t understand, please let me know. I’ll help you, okay?”

Himeno, sitting across a small table with textbooks and notes spread out, effortlessly solved problems.

Though Takashi had a bad feeling and seemed to have come early in the morning, maybe she had planned to study together after dealing with that issue.

“Got it. I’ll ask for your help when that time comes.”

It would be appreciative to receive help from Himeno, who was the top student in the grade.

However, just because someone is smart doesn’t necessarily mean they’re good at teaching.

Himeno probably had never taught her friends before.

But, being intelligent, she should be able to summarize the key points.

Once you understand those key points, studying becomes manageable to some extent.

(Sitting across from each other feels strange.)

While it wasn’t entirely unfamiliar, they had usually sat side by side, so facing each other felt a bit awkward.

“What’s wrong?”

“N-nothing, really.”

Himeno noticed something, or maybe she sensed it by observing, but Takashi couldn’t say he wanted to study while sitting close together facing each other.

“Taka-kun.”

“…Huh?”

A warm sensation reached my legs.

For a moment, I couldn’t comprehend what was happening, but at this time, there’s only one warm sensation.

(C-Could it be Himeno’s leg?)

There’s no mistake; it’s undoubtedly Himeno’s leg that’s touching my leg. Moreover, today Himeno is wearing a long dress, and since she isn’t wearing socks, the soft sensation of her toes and the sole of her foot is directly transmitted. The fact that I’m wearing shorts contributes to the direct contact.

“It feels reassuring to touch each other, but we shouldn’t sit side by side while studying. So, let’s touch with our legs instead.”

Himeno, with blushing cheeks, speaks words that only embarrass me more. While it’s undoubtedly delightful to have physical contact with someone you like, the touch of unfamiliar legs feels even more embarrassing than usual. Himeno, despite initiating the contact, seems to be embarrassed as well. Even as she touches my leg with a squishy sensation, a soft “Ahh…” escapes her lips, hindering progress in our studies.

“Y-Yeah…”

While thinking that Himeno with bright red cheeks is truly adorable, I try not to show how embarrassed I am. Although my body is heating up, I must not let on that I’m overly conscious during our study session.

“Please touch me too, Taka-kun. I’d feel more at ease if you touched me.”

“G-Goooooo…”

I unintentionally let out a strange sound in response to the overwhelmingly impactful words.

“I’m sorry. It’s annoying during your studies, isn’t it?”

Perceiving that my strange sound might be interpreted as annoyance, Himeno wears a sad expression.

“N-No, it’s not…”

While thinking that any physical contact with someone you like is always delightful, I do my best not to let on that I’m feeling embarrassed. Although I might be giving away signs because my body is getting warmer, I mustn’t become overly self-conscious during our study session.

“If it’s okay with you, could you touch me too? I’d feel more at ease if you did.”

“Of c-course.”

Feeling embarrassed, I nodded slowly and began to approach Himeno’s legs.

“Ah…”

The moment I touched her, a cute sound escaped Himeno, and her ears turned even redder, perhaps from increased embarrassment.

Given this softness, I was probably touching her calves.

It would be inappropriate to go further… though it was tempting to touch her thighs.

“Me too…”

We studied while touching each other’s legs.
