Chapter 22: Cute Panties

“I’m serious…. I’m being serious.”

Seriously.

She didn’t let go of her passionate gaze at all for a while, and slightly loosened her stiff expression.

This kind of realistic performance was a real stunt.

But for Yuuki, he didn’t need to be told again.

(But I don’t need to be told again. Of course she’s serious, because her winning record was at stake.)

Still, I was shocked.

This is the true value of the seatmate killer. He was reminded that all the skirmishes up until now has been mere childs play.

By saying this, it was really easy to misunderstand her… I could sense her strong will to make the boy sitting next to her absolutely fall in love with her.

(This is still quite severe…)

“Hehehe….”

The bashful and refined gesture even caught Yuuki’s attention.

I see. There was no way Keitaro and Sonoda would be able to win against this.

With her body squirming, her cheeks flushed, and as if reluctant to say anything, Yui began to speak again.

“So, if possible…. I would like to get to know you better…”

Just as she said that, a gust of wind blew at the same time.

In an instant, the wind ruffled Yui’s hair and ruffled her skirt with more vigor.

“Hey!”

Concentrating on speaking, Yui hurriedly tried to hold her skirt down, but it was already too late. It wasn’t just a glimpse, it was a full view of her underwear.

With a strange sound, Yui squirmed in place while desperately holding her skirt with both hands. She glared at Yuuki with a red face.

Yuuki didn’t do anything wrong, but she looked at him as if it was his fault.

In contrast, Yuuki was rather unconcerned because he was standing in the same direction as the wind. It was unfortunate for Yui to stand in her position.

Well, it was bad and a little awkward to have seen it, and after wondering whether to follow-up,

“…those are cute panties, no?”

I’m not sure if it’s Mizuna, but she just said something about sexual harassment, so maybe it wasn’t a good idea to touch on that subject.

Yuuki thought so as he said that, but he still didn’t know because Yui was a complicated girl.

After a while, Yui stood up, staying silent.

She had a slightly different expression, but her face was still red with a slight squeak in her mouth.

Yui turned around without saying anything, and suddenly started running and left the place.

(I knew it…)

Yuuki, who was left alone, nodded his head.

Her back seemed to be telling him not to come after her, so Yuuki didn’t dare to chase her.

Anyway, her darkness is deeper than I expected.

I wonder what drove her so far…

(I think she’s a good girl, though…)

Yui must have had something happen to her in the past to make her the way she is now, just like how Mizuna was once depressed by the loss of her mother.

It was as if her parents had been killed by the man sitting next to her, for example… or a promise to a distant friend… white panties with a small ribbon…

Yuuki thought of various things, but no answer came to him.

Anyway, she’s such a sad child.

The fact that I ended up sitting next to such a person must be some kind of fate.

If I could, I would do something about it.

The important thing is to be patient and watch over them warmly, without hurrying her.

I’m sure you’ll be pleased to know that I’ve done the same thing with Mizuna, and she’s improved dramatically. The two of them were similar in some aspects.

(I’ll be nicer to you in the future…)

Yuuki decided in his mind.

_______________________________________________________________

And in the meantime? When she got home, Yui went straight to her room without looking at anything else, and without even changing out of her close, she was on her bed with her head propped up on a pillow, kicking her legs.

(Oh my god. What do I do, what do I do!)

He saw my panties.

And what the hell did I say?!

I hadn’t really planned to say that at this point in time, as I was planning to wait and see more, but it was more like a sales pitch.

I didn’t expect to be told with a straight face and serious tone to stop acting like a jerk.

(But I said it. I said it!)

I’m not playing a game of making him fall in love with me.

That means that everything I’ve said and done so far was a serious attempt to make him fall in love with me.

In short, this was as good as saying that I wanted to get his attention somehow…

In other words, depending on how you look at it, it’s almost a confession.

(He saw my panties…)

A situation involving a confession and fully showing her panties.

It’s quite bad, objectively speaking, even if it happened by chance.

I couldn’t take it, and I ran back without saying anything.

I slipped on the way and lightly scraped my knee. Someone might have seen my panties again. I want to die.

But by now, he should be home, calmly thinking about what Yui said and did, thinking about this and that.

The LINE message may come soon. Perhaps there might also be a call.

[I mean…]

[Are you really trying to make me fall in love with you?]

What should I say when that comes? Should I say it again?

However, is this timing really okay? Immediately after showing my panties?

I was confused and when I was laying down holding my smartphone, it quivered.

The message as arrived. From Yuuki.

[Don’t worry about it.]

It was a simple message without a subject or anything else.

It could be interpreted as “everything’s okay”, but I suppressed the feeling of motivation and explored it further.

[What do you mean?]

[I don’t think anyone else saw.]

“So that’s what it is!!”

I released my phone and jumped up and down.

A meaningless follow-up by saying “cute panties”, or whatever? I’ve been doing the same thing, but I guess I should have snapped at that one.

I don’t know anymore, I’m going to bed! When I was going to lie down again and go to sleep in a daze, the door too my room suddenly opened and my sister Maki walked in.

“Hey! Knock!”

“What are you screaming about alone?”

It’s also possible that the walls were too thin.

When I raised my body, Maki looked at me oddly, and I did my best to distract her from the conversation.

“Oh, what? What about college?”

“My lectures finished this morning~~”

“It’s nice to be so carefree…”

“It’s just a coincidence. By the way, make dinner Yui. I want to eat meat today.”

“Cook your own.”

“If you don’t cook, you won’t be able to eat?”

As usual, she doesn’t listen to people.

Maki has already changed into casual wear and apparently had no intention of going out shopping.

“Where’s mom today?”

“Didn’t you hear about the housewives having dinner together?”

“Again?”

Our mom often skips the housework. No, she skips out on being a housewife.

Similarly, my sister doesn’t work hard at all.”

“I just don’t feel like doing anything today.”

“Why? Ah, you have a LINE message.”

“Hmm?”

When I looked over, I saw Maki, who had the cell phone in her hand and was messing around with it. Before I knew it, my eyeballs almost popped out of my head.

I quickly walked up to her and snatched the phone away.

“What kind of sister goes through her sisters phone without asking?!”

“[Sorry, are you mad about something?] You’re so sweet.”

“You don’t have to read it out loud.”

“Yuuki Narito, huh? I remember.”

“You don’t have to use his full name.”

She read a lot of information in just a moment.

I was careless.

“Well, that’s the guy I heard about, so…”

“There’s no rumor or anything like that.”

“I’ll take you up on it, okay?”

“No, shush.”



I pushed my sister out of the room and settled on the bed again.

I wasn’t sure how to reply while looking at the screen of my phone, but I settled with, [I’m not mad at you. Sorry for leaving suddenly].

[It’s good to hear that], the reply was strangely quick and polite, which bothered me a bit, but whatever the case, it’ll be hard to look at him tomorrow…
