CH 75

We just kept on eating the mountain of Penang and …… finished it. I couldn’t move for a while, and neither could Lida. The dreaded super super duper special Petamax. I don’t want to eat it again, but there’s still some left over …… that I haven’t made yet. I guess we’ll be living on Penang for a while.

After finishing her meal, Lida stood up.

“I’m going to take a bath.”

“All right. I’ll be in my room, relaxing.”

“…… You know, Oojirou…”

“What’s the matter with you, you look so mysterious.”

“Yeah, I’d like you to stay in the …… changing room if you don’t mind. I’m afraid of being alone.”

“Huh……”

“Because of what happened today.”

I understand that feeling so painfully well.

It was hard for me too, because I was afraid …… that Tanahashi would attack me again. I want to be by Lida’s side as much as possible now, and I want to be by her side as long as I can.

“I understand.”

“Yes.”

Waiting for Lida to bathe, I sat down in the changing room with my laptop. The plan was to deal with Lida while I worked.

“Huh….!”

There was a basket of freshly undressed underwear. It seems to be deliberate, or rather, it’s definitely deliberate!

“Oojirou, don’t steal my underwear~”

“No, I’m not stealing it!”

“And don’t use it for anything weird.”

“I won’t!!”

Oh, already.

It’s just that there’s a naked Lida on the other side of this door, and then there’s a pair of underwear right in front of me. …… Damn it, I’m getting restless.

Yes, work work work. (TLN: Arbeit arbeit arbeit)

I concentrated and typed away on the keyboard. It’s due in three days, so I have to get it done.

“Hey, Oojirou. What are you doing now?”

“Working. I brought my laptop and I’m working on it.”

“I see. I’m washing my breasts right now.”

“…… Mm, breasts.”

For a moment, I imagined it and almost bled from the nose. …… Oops! I almost broke my 200,000 yen laptop with a nosebleed…….!

“I hear something. Are you excited, Oojirou?”

“No, I’m not. …… Maybe.”

“Hmm……. Oh, Oojirou, hand me that shampoo over there.”

“What!? Where is it?”

“It’s in the basket. Sorry, pass it to me.”

Oh, I can’t believe it’s with that underwear!!

Damn it, that was definitely on purpose!!

“…”

“Hurry up. I want to wash my hair.”

I’ve got to do it…… I have no choice.

Gently, I reach out and put my hand into the basket. I feel the texture of Lida’s underwear on my hand, and I’m thrilled.

…… This is more destructive than I imagined. One wrong move and I’m a hentai, but we are in a consenting relationship. There is no problem at all – there should be.

“This is it!”

There was indeed a bottle of shampoo lying under her underwear…… Huh, I managed to get it. All that was left was to give this to Lida.

I open the door gently and hand it through the crack.

“Thanks, Oojirou.”

“…… Oh, yeah.”

Then I spent about thirty minutes in the changing room. It was a short, but happy time.

◆

The time was midnight.

Lida seemed to have been talking to Azusa ever since she said she would call her. I went back to my room and checked my phone while lazing around. I was browsing the bulletin board site “5.5 Channel”.

Then I received a message from the “President”.

“Oh, it’s you, President. You are up at this hour, aren’t you? Let’s see.”

“I’ve been trying to get in touch with Azusa for a while now, so I’m bored. …… Kamishiro-kun, please be my conversation partner｜ω・).”

Oh, She’s having a conversation with Leah right now. They’re talking about some kind of love story all the time. The walls aren’t that thick, so I can hear a little bit of what she’s saying.

“I understand. I’ll be your conversation partner for a little while.”

“I’m glad to hear it. | ω ・) Then can I start by asking you something? | ω ・) “

Is she going to use this emoticon repeatedly today? Well, whatever.

“Yes, what is it?”

“Do you play online games, Kamishiro-kun | ω ・)? “

“Yes, I do. I’ve been playing Excalibur Online for quite a while now, and I recently played it with Lida.”

“What! Σ (・ ω ・ ノ) ﾉ …… You beat me to the….”

“The President too?”

“Yes, my younger brother is playing. He’s been recommending it to me lately, but if I’m going to play, I’d rather play with Kamishiro-kun｜ ω ・)”

“Really? Let’s play together.”

“It’ll only be for about thirty minutes, but please| ω ・)”

No way.

The president plays online games. ……. I don’t know about that, but I think her brother has more hobbies than I do. I think we’d get along well and I’d like to meet him.
