The Gal Next to Me Is Trying Too Hard to Make Me Fall in Love With Her
โSo this is Saeki’s room.โ
After returning home from school, Amagi-san didn’t go to her own room, but came straight to mine.
The layout hasn’t changed, and there’s nothing particularly interesting in my room, but she looks around the room, nodding thoughtfully.
โฆStill, men are really stupid.
Even though I had been trying so hard to push Amagi-san away, I was now a little moved by the miracle of having a girl in my room.
โWait a minute. I’ll get the guest cushions outโฆโ
As I rummaged through the closet and glanced at her, my heart leaped. Amagi-san was lying on my bed.
โWhat are you doing? At least sit up properly!โ
โEh? But this way, it’s like I’m sleeping with Saeki!โ
โI’m sweating from sleeping, and it’ll leave a weird smell!โ
โโฆAre you trying to mark me?โ
โWhy would that be the case? You’re the one who just started sleeping here!โ
โDepending on how you look at it, that’s true.โ
โIt’s true from every angle!โ
She rolled over and moved her legs back and forth.
Every time she did, her uniform became disheveled, her skirt almost lifted up, and it was extremely difficult to know where to look.
โI’ll mark you too, thenโกโ
She said, reaching out to the pillow and hugging it like a stuffed animal.
Amagi-san raised the corners of her mouth seductively and twisted her body as if to soak in the scent.
As soon as she returned home, she was full throttle.
Her unabashedly affectionate gestures were honestly delightful, but at the same time, they made me anxious about the future and gave me a headache.
โI get it, let’s study! That’s what we agreed on!โ
โYou’re so impatient. Let’s take it slow.โ
โNo way! Time is preciousโฆ Oh, andโฆ!โ
โBecause it looks like my underwear might show, and you donโt know where to look?โ
โIf you know that, then stop it!โ
Suddenly, she flashes a smile with high humidity and viscosity, and lifts the hem of her skirt slightly.
A glimpse of adult-like black underwear.
โโฆI know thatโs why Iโm doing it.โ
Even though I shouldnโt look, I canโt take my eyes off her, and my body wonโt move.
As I froze, Amagi-san let go of her skirt and laughed, โSaeki, you’re staring too much~โกโ Those words snapped me back to reality, and I silently turned my back on her, sat down on the floor, and went to the table.
Studiing, studying!
That’s why I invited Amagi-san here!
If the quality of the lesson is bad, I’ll kick her out on the spot!
โAfter we finish studyingโฆ shall we continue with the naughty stuff?โ
โ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ!!โ
She whispered softly in my ear, and the tingling sensation made my spine tingle.
When I turned around, she was still laughing. Her face seemed to say, โPrank successful.โ
โI told you that impure things are not allowed! Do you want to be kicked out!?โ
โHehehe! I’m sorry!โ
If it’s even a little bit bad, I’ll kick you out of the room right then and there.
I’m serious, you know!
โ
โThat’s how it is. Got it?โ
โโฆโฆโฆโฆโ
โWhat’s wrong, Saeki? Is there something you don’t understand?โ
โNo, it’s justโฆโ
โHm?โ
โIt’s incredibly easy to understandโฆ You’re amazing, Amagi-san! No, reallyโฆ I could tell from the quality of the notebook, but it was a little more than I expectedโฆโ
Two hours had passed since Saeki and I started studying.
He said with sincere admiration, looking at me with eyes full of unclouded respect. Leaning forward slightly, he stared straight at me.
โYou don’t have to praise me so muchโฆ This is just normal, right?โ
โAre you blushing?โ
โHuh!? No, I’m not blushing!โ
โCome on, you’re clearly blushing. Your face is red.โ
Pointed out, I rubbed my cheeks with both hands.
It feels hotโฆ I think.
Saeki chuckled softly, finding my gesture amusing.
โDon’t laugh! I’m not used to being praised for my studies!โ
โWith such good grades, you’re not used to it? That’s a lie, isn’t it?โ
โโฆIt’s awkward to say this myself, but with my appearance and personality, I’m often resented or disliked. Why are youโฆ?โ
The reason I got scolded by Yanagida today was probably because someone made a false report.
That kind of thing isn’t new.
Hiding things, talking behind people’s backsโฆ If you’re frustrated, you should spend your time studying, but there are quite a few people who waste their energy on such things.
โIโฆโ
He opened his lips.
โI actually think it’s amazing because of thatโฆโ
His earnest, straight gaze reflected only me.
โEven though you know you’re being resented, you still care about your appearance and study hard. I couldn’t do thatโฆ I’m weak, so I’d probably lose.โ
He apologized mysteriously, โI’m sorry.โ
His expression, his words, made my heart grow hot and red.
Praising others is much harder than criticizing them. Especially when you’re face to face. Not everyone can do it.
I fell in love with someone who can do it without any ulterior motives, and I’m probably the happiest person in the world right now.
โโGuuuuuuuuu~~~!!!
At the worst possible time, my body let me know I was hungry.
Oh noโฆ!
I missed my lunch because I was making a notebook to negotiate with Saeki. But even so, there’s no reason for the alarm to ring when we’re alone!
โShall we eat? It’s almost dinner time.โ
โOh! I’m sorry! I sound like I’m rushing you!โ
โI was hungry too, so that’s fine. What are we having?โ
Saeki put away his stationery and textbooks, then took a white cloth from the shelf.
He quickly put it onโฆ Wait, is that an apron?
โSaeki, you can cook!?โ
โWell, yeah. I was in charge of cooking at my parents’ house.โ
As he said that, he went to the kitchen and his face turned pale.
โAre you not good with hand cooked? If so, I can just get some frozen foodโฆโ
โIt’s totally fine! I’ll eat anything, so make whatever you’re good at!โ
Sighing heavily, Saeki patted his chest reassuringly and opened the refrigerator.
In the evening, when I passed by the hallway outside, I always smelled a good aroma coming from the exhaust fan, so he was making it himself.
A guy who can cookโฆ Hmm, it makes me smile.
โI made radish simmered in soy sauce and eggplant salad yesterday, so I’ll make pork ginger stir-fry as the main dish. Do you want miso soup too?โ
โUh, yeah!โ
โThen I’ll make that too. The rice is already cooked, so please wait about fifteen minutes.โ
Saeki began cooking efficiently and skillfully.
At first, I sat on the bed so as not to get in the way, but I couldn’t help but stand up and quietly approach him.
โWhat are you doing? I’m holding a knife and using the stove, so if you mess around, I’ll get really angry.โ
โI know that! I just want to watch Saeki up close! I won’t get in the way!โ
โโฆI’m not doing anything interesting, though?โ
No, you are! It’s super interesting!
Doesn’t he realize itโฆ His knife skills are like a professional’s.
I like his hands too. His fingers are long, his nails are neat, and the way his veins show is really nice.
I like his serious profile too. He stares at the ingredients, occasionally glancing at me out of the corner of his eye, furrowing his brows in a way that’s irresistible.
Now that I think about it, in this small room, Saeki’s height really stands out.
โฆI think he’s about 180 cm tall, right?
Heโs considerate of others, good at studying and cooking, and he looks good too.
He does have a gloomy sideโฆ but how can he not have a girlfriend?
All the girls at school are missing out on this charm! Well, maybe itโs better if only I know about it!
โWhy are you smiling like thatโฆ?โ
โHuh? Heheโฆ I just think Saeki is so coolโกโ
โCould you please stop saying things like that while I’m cooking!? It’s distracting and dangerous! Really!โ
โI’m sorry!โ
I didn’t want him to get hurt, so I quietly returned to his bed.
I lay down and hugged the blanket.
Tap, tap, sizzle, sizzle.
His movements, synchronized with the sounds, were so cool and made my heart race. I couldn’t help but follow the swaying of his apron with my eyes.
I’m probably making the most sloppy face of my life right now.
Thisโฆ I can’t show this to Saeki.
Heheheโก
