Volume 1 - CH 6

You can see a hint of steam from her flushed body, and the towel wrapped around her head pulls Himekawa’s hair up.

But no matter how you look at the clothes she is wearing, they are not sleeping clothes, but normal clothes.

Could it be that the daughter of a company president wears normal clothes to sleep? I was really curious.

However, it was almost a crime for her to show this in front of me, an ordinary man when she just finished a bath.

Even I was flustered.

“Are you going to sleep in that outfit?”

Himekawa sat down at the table in the kitchen and looked at me.

“I didn’t bring any sleepwear or anything because it was so urgent”

“Haah, Wait a minute”

I went back to my room and went through my clothes.

“Look, it’s hard to sleep in those clothes. I’ll lend you this for today.

“Oh, thanks. I’m sorry if I caused you trouble.

After thanking me, Himekawa went back to the bathroom.

A few minutes later, Himekawa came to the kitchen again. It was more destructive than before, and I didn’t know where to look.

A few minutes later, Himekawa came to the kitchen again. It was more destructive than before, and I didn’t know where to look.

A beautiful girl after taking a bath, a man’s shirt. And loose-fitting shorts.

Did I make the wrong choice, or was this the right one?

So what? I wear jerseys when I sleep. I wear half pants in the summer, though.

“I borrowed your bath and even your clothes. ……. I’m sorry, you really helped me”

I averted my eyes from Himekawa and turned on the kitchen faucet. The water comes out with great force and splashes a little.

Feeling Himekawa’s gaze on my back, I mindlessly rinse off the detergent from the dishes.

Then the smell of soap drifted up from next to me.

Himekawa came next to me and looked at my face.

“I could have done the dishes myself. Can I take your place?”

Don’t come close to me dressed like that. I tried not to think about it, but I couldn’t help looking at her.

“You just took a bath, didn’t you? You don’t have to do that. Besides, I’m done”

I quickly finish washing the dishes and get away from Himekawa.

She smells like soap, and her attack power is too high after a bath. It’s easy to break through my defenses, and the way she looks at me makes for a critical attack.

If I don’t do something, I’ll be defeated. I guess I lost by showing her the bath first. I’m so angry at myself for being so naive.

“I’m going to take a bath, and if you aren’t going to bed yet, you can watch TV in the living room or roll around on the couch, whatever you want. Of course, you can go to bed first if you want”

I left the kitchen as if I were running away. It would be very bad if I stayed there.

I quickly went to the bathroom and soaked myself in the bathtub.

It feels so good. I feel relaxed.

Suddenly, I look at my hair floating in the bathtub and see a long strand of hair that is clearly not mine.

This is the same bath that my classmate Himekawa took. I’m in there.

Aaaaah! I got out of the bath immediately and took a shower.

I wash my hair and body with a dash and get out of the bath early.

Oh no, what am I thinking? I’m not my usual self. What the hell is wrong with me?

I’ve avoided problems, I’ve avoided people, and I’ve never felt this way before.

As I changed into my jersey, I pulled my hair all back and wrapped a towel around my neck.

When I came out of the bathroom, the lights were still on in the living room.

What, she’s not asleep yet?　I went to the living room in the same outfit and checked the situation.

No way, you didn’t fall asleep on the couch, are you?

I entered the living room with a pounding heart and found Himekawa lying down on the sofa with her eyes closed.

I asked myself, “Why is this happening?” I went to the kitchen and took out a carton of milk from the refrigerator.

I put my hands on my hips and gulp it down. This is my habit after taking a bath. Thanks to this, I’m getting a little taller.

I put the milk back in the refrigerator and went back to the living room.

Himekawa, who was breathing in her sleep, was unprotected and hadn’t even dried her hair. If she hadn’t, she would have caught a cold for sure.

Even though it was early summer, it was still chilly at night.

Now, what should I do?

In front of me was Himekawa, who hadn’t even dried her hair and was breathing in her sleep.

She was so defenseless, what was I supposed to do in this situation? Is this a God-given trial?

Without saying a word, I moved next to Himekawa and shook her shoulders.

“Hey! Wake up! You’ll catch a cold!”

I call out to her while shaking her shoulders.

Then Himekawa immediately opens her eyes and looks me in the eye.

“Oh, I’m awake. I’m fine now. So please don’t shake so hard”

I shook her head so hard that her eyes widened and she woke up immediately.

Thank God. I seriously thought about what I would do if she didn’t wake up.

Himekawa looked me straight in the eye and opened her mouth with an upward glance.

“You’re more of a gentleman than I thought, Tendo-san”

I had no words to reply and fell silent.

What do you mean more than you thought? How did you see me before?
