The Gal Next to Me Is Trying Too Hard to Make Me Fall in Love With Her
โAmagi-senpai!? Amagi-senpai, you can’t do this!! Ahโit’s all over now!!โ
โHm?โ
Amagi-san looked dazed, like she’d just stepped out of the bath.
I noticed a voice leaking from her right ear. And somehow, that voice sounded familiar.
No wayโฆ
I led Amagi-senpai to her room and laid her on the bed. Touching her ear, I found a wireless earpiece.
โRespond, Amagi-senpai! Y-you can still turn back! Just restart your pure-girl act now and stir up onii chan’s pent-up frustrationโโ
โThat voiceโฆ could it be Ouranโฆ?โ
“Hii!? S-Shiro-nii!?”
Ouran , the third daughter of the Saeki family.
When I put the earbuds in myself, it was my sister’s voice I heard.
โYou can still turn back? Re-do your innocent act? Provoke my frustrationsโฆ? Am I right in thinking Amagi-san suddenly started acting like this because of your doing?โ
“Huh? โฆAh, ahh! Dinner’s almost ready! Sorry, Shiro-nii, next time!”
โHey, wait!!โ
The call abruptly cut off.
Sighโฆ So that’s what it was. I did think it was a bit odd that she changed her character so suddenly without any warning.
Because of that viral video, my family is aware of Amagi-san’s existence.
So I expected someone in the family might contact herโฆ
But I never imagined she’d help seduce me. She left no room for my guard to slip.
โI did say you could do anything to make me fall for youโฆ but this is a bit nasty. I was seriously considering repenting and genuinely supporting youโฆ butโฆโ
As I spoke, I looked down at the bed and lost my words at her state.
She clutched my futon, biting it lightly with her thin lips.
Occasionally, her body would jerk and twitch. Her eyes, wet and glazed over, stared at me with a vacant look.
โAh, ahahaโฆ Sorry for tricking youโฆโ
โWe’ll talk about that laterโฆ Are you okay? Your face is bright red, and your breathing is heavyโฆ Are you feeling sick or something?โ
โNoโฆ I’ve been trying so hard not to think about Saeki, holding back so muchโฆโก So, being able to say I like you made me so happyโฆโกโ
The futon wedged between her thighs.
Her skirt lifted slightly, revealing healthy skin that demanded attention.
โโฆ!โ
It had been a week since I’d properly seen Amagi-san’s skin either.
Faced with such temptation for the first time in ages, heat rushed to my face.
I knew I shouldn’t look, but I couldn’t tear my eyes away.
I wanted to see it, to touch it.
โOh crapโฆ I’m seriously such a pervert right nowโก Just sniffing the futon like thatโฆ heh, heheheโกโ
Staring at me, her body shuddered violently.
Tears welled at the corners of her eyes, but she didn’t look sad at all. Those droplets, carrying an eerie glow, fell and stained the sheets.
Seriously, what is this?
To put it mildly, to explain it simply, it was so erotic it defied comprehension.
Her fingertips twitched, the corners of her lips trembled.
She unconsciously started to reach out, but I stopped her with my other hand.
If I let myself get carried away, it would all be over, yet my body wouldn’t listen.
โฆI’m completely caught in Ouran’s trap.
Unfortunately, Amagi-san noticed my change.
Her eyes snapped open, fixing on me.
A bewitching heat lit up in those pupils.
โSaekiโฆ?โ
Hearing my name called, I thought, This is bad.
Right now, I’m expecting it. For her to invite me to bed.
โYou’re watchingโฆ I know, okay?โ
โI-I’m sorryโฆโ
โIt’s okay, Saeki. You can see everythingโฆ everything.โ
โโฆN-noโฆโ
โBut, umโฆ?โ
โY-yes?โ
โโฆIs just watching enough?โ
Just a question.
Yet, a tremendous shock, like being struck hard with a hammer, raced through my brain, shattering what little sanity I had left.
This is bad.
Bad, bad, badโฆ really bad.
If she said just one word now, like โIt’s okayโโฆ
I was certain. I wouldn’t be able to stop.
More than anything, more than finally living alone, I desperately wanted permission now. Permission to touch her.
โWantโฆ to touch me?โ
With a soft rustle, she lifted her skirt with her own hands.
Slightly see-through, white underwear with a provocative design.
Her fingertips caught the ribbon and quietly undid it.
Then it lost its function as underwear, becoming mere fabric that slipped away from the place it was meant to hide.
โBecause all of me belongs to Saekiโฆโ
She shifted slightly.
Licking her red lips with a flick of her tongue.
โYou can do whatever you wantโฆ?โ
Finally granted permission, I swallowed hard, making a stupid noise even to myself.
This makes me no better than a beast, my last shred of reason muttered bitterly.
I know.
I know, but.
This is impossible now.
A storm of temptation since September. For someone like me who’s never been popular, I’ve held back quite a bit.
I tried hard enough. Really, really, as hard as I possibly could.
Besides, this isn’t just my desire. It’s what Amagi-san has always wanted. So, I won’t make her sad.
โAlright then.
I muttered to myself inside my head.
I couldn’tโI couldn’t abandon my shattered rationality.
โโฆAh, whoa!? Ah, Amagi!! nose, noseโฆ!!โ
โHuh?โ
Faced with the scene before me, my intelligence, my rationality, rapidly regained its original form.
Amagi-san seemed to notice her own change too, her flushed face turning pale.
I hurriedly grabbed a tissue and handed it to her. Before the blood could stain her uniform.
โAmagi-sanโฆ are youโฆ okayโฆ?โ
โโฆโฆโฆโฆโ
โLet’sโฆ skip studying todayโฆ!โ
โโฆโฆโฆโฆโ
โHow about something sweet to change the mood?! Let’s eat the parfait I prepared for dessert tonight!โ
โโฆโฆโฆโฆYeah.โ
A nosebleed from overexcitement.
Thanks to that, I regained my senses and avoided disaster, but she ended up cowering in the corner of the room.
Well, that’s understandable.
From Amagi-san’s perspective, it was the moment she’d been waiting for. And I, of all people, ruined it at the very last moment. It’s only natural she’d be shocked.
The fact that she stained my bed with blood also seemed to hit her pretty hard. Honestly, it’s no big deal, really.
โHere you go, it’s a yogurt parfait.โ
At the bottom of the container was cereal. Layered on top was plain yogurt, decorated with strawberries and kiwi soaked in honey and lemon juice, and finished with a little mint on top.
Seeing it, Amagi-san slowly shuffled from the corner of the room to the table. She clasped her hands together in thanks, picked up a spoon, and scooped some parfait.
โHow is it? The taste?โ
โโฆโฆโฆโฆโ
โHee?โ
โIt’s deliciousโฆ Oh my god, it’s delicious! It’s so good! But it’s so frustrating!!!!โ
โWellโฆโ
Amagi continued eating voraciously, her eyes welling up with tears.
Within minutes, she emptied the container and shouted, โMore!!โ in a near-desperate tone.
I made this watching calories, so eating two servings defeats the whole pointโฆ but well, today’s not the day to be picky.
I made a second serving and handed it to her. She began stuffing it into her stomach with single-minded focus.
Delicious, deliciousโshe displayed a wonderfully satisfying appetite.
โโฆI really likeโฆโ
โBuh-huh!?โ
The words slipped out unconsciously, and Amagi-san choked violently.
โHey, what? What the sudden change!?โ
โWellโฆ you’ve been so quiet lately, saying you’re focusing on your role or something. Even when you ate my food, you didn’t react like that, enjoying itโฆโ
โAh, ahโฆ yeahโฆโ
โBut just now, hearing you say โdeliciousโ so cheerfully made me really happy. I guess I just like the real Amagi-san.โ
Amagi-san flushed scarlet like scorched iron and shoveled down her parfait to hide it.
The moment she finished, she demanded, โRefill!!โ for her third serving. โฆFine, whatever. Just don’t complain about stomachache later.
โThis time made me realizeโฆ I need to get my Saeki-min fix regularly by sticking close to him and building up my tolerance. Seriously, I love Saeki so much. I think the nosebleed was from overdose poisoning.โ
โPlease stop analyzing mysterious substances with such a serious face.โ
โHonestly, if only I hadn’t gotten that nosebleedโฆโ
“Actually, I’m grateful. It was seriously dangerous.”
โIf I eat this, will you cheer up and have s*x?โ
โNo.โ
โCheapskate!โ
Amagi-san puffs out her cheeks in a sulk.
I feel a pang of nostalgia, remembering how often we had exchanges like this just a week ago. My mouth relaxes into a smile at the joy of everyday life returning.
After taking a bite of the parfait, her expression returns to normal. She beamed brightly, radiating pure light. Seeing that, a single thought gently swept through my heart.
โI want you to keep smiling beside me forever.
I couldn’t help but chuckle wryly at myself. This was practically a proposal.
But it couldn’t be helped.
The warmth he felt after so long was just too damn good.
โโฆโฆโฆโฆHm?โ
Suddenly, I noticed something lying beside the bed.
What’s this white clothโฆ Wait, wh-what is this!?
โAh, Amagi-san!! Did you justโฆ!!โ
โHuh? What’s thatโฆ Huh? Oh, crap!โ
โCrap isn’t the word here!? Why are you so calm about being pantyless!?โ
โWell, I mean, I’m always prepared to show it. I don’t have a body I can’t show. โฆOr maybe you want to see?โ
โWhoa!? H-hold on, don’t lift skirt!!โ
โUheheโก Your reaction is too goodโกโ
โฆSo, the character role is over, which means Amagi-san will go back to being like this again.
Can I really endure this for the rest of the yearโฆ?
