I Got Into a Secret Relationship With a Girl Who Was Out of My League
I finished my work in the morning as the day’s duty officer, sharing the duties with Roppou.
We hadn’t decided who would write the log, but I wrote the parts that could be written in the morning.
That was the end of my work for the day.
Or so I thought, but Roppou fell ill in the afternoon, and I ended up continuing to work after lunch.
After school, I finished writing the logbook and went to the staff room to submit it to my homeroom teacher. He gave me a look that seemed to say, “That’s just what I needed” and said the following.
—–Could you go check on Roppou?
It seems she has a fever, but her parents are busy with work and it will take a while for them to come pick her up.
The teacher is busy and can’t check on her, so he asked me to do it.
Today, unusually, I had no errands to run. My part-time job was also off.
Nanamori was at her after-school lesson, and my friends were free, so I decided to comply with the teacher’s request.
“Excuse me.”
“Come in.”
I knocked on the sliding door of the infirmary, and a gentle voice came from inside. After receiving permission, I entered the room.
The scent of disinfectant gently brushed past my nose.
I was slightly averse to this unique smell.
“What’s the matter?”
Nakamura sensei, the school nurse, who was sitting at the desk in the back, stopped flipping through her papers and looked at me.
“I came to check on Roppou san, who is in the same class as me. The homeroom teacher is too busy to come.”
“Oh, I see. Some of her other friends were here earlier, but it seems they missed each other.”
By “friends,” she probably meant Nanamori and Itsuka.
The two close friends seemed to have come to check on Roppou out of concern.
Nanami had her lessons, and Itsuka had club activities, so they probably just checked on her and left right away.
“Could she be your girlfriend? Or are you just close friends”
“Don’t tease me. We were just on duty together today. The teacher asked us both to be on duty.”
“Oh, I see. Well, if you’re not in a serious relationship, it’s not very common to come and check on a girl out of concern.”
“We’re just classmates.”
“That’s too bad.”
What’s too bad? What was she expecting?
“Oh, I’m sorry. It’s already this late. I have to meet with a supplier for some supplies, so could you watch Roppou san for a little while?”
“Sure, no problem.”
“Then, sorry. Thanks.”
Nakamura sensei looked at her watch and hurriedly left the infirmary.
She’s such a busy person.
“Hm…”
As soon as the teacher left, I heard a moan coming from the bed separated by a curtain.
Then, the curtain of the bed opened with a rustling sound.
“Sensei…?”
“……”
I hurriedly looked away from the bed.
Because there, with her blouse buttons undone, her chest exposed, and her yellow underwear visible, was Roppou
“…!? What, why !?”
After a moment of silence, the curtain closed again.
◆
Roppou Akane.
She is a friend of Nanamori and, unlike the demure Nanamori, she is flashy.
She can be a little loud and harsh at times, but she has a competitive and friendly personality.
“Yagami kun. Are you still there?”
As I sat on a nearby chair, Roppou spoke to me through the curtain.
“Yeah. I’m here. I didn’t see the bed.”
Just to be clear. Even if she knew I was there, she wouldn’t open the curtain in that state.
But then again, I didn’t want her to think I was staring at her the whole time.
A moment later, the curtain opened.
There stood Roppou, her blouse neatly tucked in.
“S-sorry. I showed you something weird.”
“No…I’m sorry. Are you feeling okay?”
“Yeah…I think so. I still have a slight fever, but it’s probably just a low-grade one.”
Roppou’s face was still slightly red, and she looked a little tired.
“Well, it was because it was hot…”
“Oh, I see.”
It was awkward.
For a moment, I saw her bare chest. It wasn’t as revealing as Nanamori’s, but for a guy, it was still poisonous.
“Are you okay staying up?”
“Yeah, my parents said they’d come pick me up soon.”
Then I guess it’s okay.
“It seems like Nanamori and the others were here earlier too.”
“Hoshina and the others? Oh, I see. I was asleep…”
“Yeah, they left right away. I only heard about it from the teacher.”
“Thanks for letting me know.”
“You’re welcome.”
Roppou still seems to be feeling unwell, as she appears less energetic than usual.
She’s usually quite lively, but her subdued demeanor feels refreshing.
“Um, why are you here, Yagami kun?”
“Oh, the teacher asked me to check on you when I handed in the diary.”
“Oh, right. Duty…sorry. I left all the work to you.”
“Don’t worry. If you weren’t feeling well, it can’t be helped.”
“No, but I skipped my duty too. Let me do something to thank you next time.”
It seems like she won’t back down.
Even if she says her fever has gone down to a slight one, it might still be a bit higher, and she still looks a bit under the weather.
“I understand. But really, don’t worry about it. You should just lie down for now. You still look a bit under the weather.”
“Yeah…thanks. I’ll do that.”
Roppou lies back down on the bed. However, she doesn’t close the curtains.
“Yagami kun, sorry to ask, but could you stay here a little longer?”
“Well, I’ll stay until the teacher comes back.”
“I’m sorry. When I’m not feeling well, I feel lonely. I’d be happy if you could stay a little longer.”
“Oh, okay.”
Not knowing how to respond to words I had never heard before, I gave a vague reply.
A little while later, Roppou, lying on the bed, began to snore and drift off into dreamland.
…When will the teacher come back?
Until now, I hadn’t had much to do with Roppou, Itsuka, and the rest of the Nanamori group.
But since I became her sex friend, I feel like we’ve been interacting a lot more.
Well, I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.
In everyday life, we’re not really close, even though we’re in the same class.
“…….”
I wonder what Nanamori is doing right now.
I stared into space, thinking about that for a moment.
Then the teacher came back, told me a little about Roppou, and left the infirmary.
