The Salty Princess Told Me That I Was a ‘Convenient Keep’, so I Tested What Would Happen if I Introduced the Most Beautiful Girl at Another School as My Girlfriend
Kotone Koga regretted it.
“What am I doing….”
It was early in the morning, just as the sun was rising. When Kotone woke up quietly, she looked at the sunlight flooding through the gap in the curtains and let out a big sigh.
Yesterday, after Ochiha left to take Sakaki Saori to the station, Kotone waited for Ochiha’s return alone, with blurred feelings in her heart.
But was Kotone, like Ochiha, also tired? Or was it simply that she had had a late strategy meeting with Mimiko the night before, and had therefore not slept well? Whatever the case, Kotone found herself falling asleep on the sofa.
“Mimiko took, dressed me up like this, and even said such embarrassing things, but I fell asleep in the middle of it, ……. I really …… don’t know what I’m doing.’
She stays at the house of a boy she’s interested in and hopefully ends up making a mistake for the night. For that purpose, she went out of her way to wear cute underwear and make various preparations. However, at the most important point, she fell asleep. she was sleeping soundly…but before she knew it, it was morning.
“…… too embarrassing. I wasn’t drooling or anything, was I?”
She wiped my mouth in a panic, but there was no point in doing that now. Realizing this, Kotone’s shoulders slumped.
“But Ochiha-kun, I wonder if you were playing pranks on me while I was sleeping. I wouldn’t mind if Ochiha-kun fondled my breasts…”
Kotone then turned her attention towards Ochiha, who was curled up on the sofa a little further away. He was still sleeping comfortably. As of now, there is no sign of it happening.
“Well, Ochiha-kun, you don’t do that, do you?”
Kotone was told by Mimiko about ‘Operation One Night of Mistake’. First, she has him touch her body and make him aware of it. So she gradually gets bare and at the end she presses him a little too hard. Ochiha is a boy of his age, so he would surely make a move on her.
It was a very easy strategy, but she thought it would work. So Kotone followed Mimiko’s words, but in hindsight, …… even if she had not fallen asleep, it would not have worked.
“Ochiha-kun, you didn’t really need to sleep in that place, but you stayed by my side. …… That part of you is just like you used to be.”
Kotone slowly approaches Ochiha and gazes at his sleeping face. He’s become cool, like he’s a different person than he used to be. But there are still traces of the old days in his sleeping face.
“….somehow, cute.”
Kotone feels the urge to hug Ochiha, but she resists it. she feels bad for waking him up when he’s sleeping so comfortably.
“Maybe you’re dreaming about me or something…I wouldn’t like it if you were dreaming about that person from yesterday…”
A girl named Sakaki suddenly came to his house. From what she saw yesterday, it didn’t seem like they were that close. …However, for some reason, Ochiha seemed to be in pain as he talked to her.
“But that person probably….”
Actually, she had no intention of interrupting Ochiha and Saori’s conversation yesterday. It was annoying to do that, and she was going to settle for just watching from behind. …But the moment she saw Saori’s eyes, Kotone suddenly found herself interrupting their conversation.
“I wonder if Ochiha-kun didn’t notice. …… That person was awesome, she looked like she was expecting it. ……”
Kotone, who has not heard anything about the situation, knows nothing about the relationship between the two. But somehow, she could sense that something was going on between the two of them. So she forced herself to intervene.
“No matter what the relationship between that person and Ochiha-kun is, I…I won’t lose.”
Kotone tried to touch Ochiha gently as it was, but stopped her hand in the middle.
“`…I’m okay, right? I don’t smell bad, right? I haven’t taken a bath…but I’m okay, right? Yesterday, I walked around quite a bit, but I haven’t been sweating like that….But here, Ochiha-kun is eyeing me. If I wake up and think I stink, it’s over. I…I’m going to cry.”
Kotone quickly distances herself from him without making a sound. Then try checking the smell
“I think I’m …… fine, but I’m starting to get worried. In the past, we used to take naps together and stuff, but I never really cared about that kind of thing …….”
While she checks her smell, she also checks her hair and other things with the in-camera of her phone, just in case. Her …… hair was in a sleeping habit and her make-up was dishevelled.
“If I score my usual Kotone at 100, I score my current Kotone at ……39. ……”
Kotone cringes and her shoulders drop. In …… fact, Ochiha probably doesn’t care about such things, but she can’t help feeling uneasy. Kotone further distances herself from Ochiha.
“That person yesterday had amazingly beautiful skin and stuff. I’d hate it if people think I have pores compared to her or something. …… Well, my breasts were bigger than hers.”
Despite the rivalry like that, she is now …… kind of embarrassed to approach him. If Mimiko was here, she would probably tell her to pretend to be asleep by intentionally baring your chest, or to cover the sleeping Ochiha and seduce him
But the current Kotone did not have the courage to do such a thing.
“So, I’m sorry, Ochiha-kun. Please lend me the shower.”
After saying that, Kotone headed towards the bathroom as quietly as possible.
◇
“……Why am I in a place like this? No, I see. Koga-san was here yesterday.”
When I woke up, it was not the familiar ceiling, and for a moment my brain was confused. But yes. Yesterday, Koga-san had fallen asleep in the living room, so I went along with her and slept in the living room.
“Huh. Koga-san isn’t here.
Yesterday she should have been sleeping on the sofa in front of me, but now I can’t see her. …… Maybe she left while I was asleep? For a moment, I thought so, but she probably went to the toilet because of her things
“I had dinner cooked for me yesterday, so I should at least cook breakfast. …… but before that, I’ll just go wash my face.”
I’m generally not good in the morning, so my head still feels lightheaded. I can’t cook in this condition. It’s fine if it’s just me, but I can’t let Koga-san eat a burnt fried egg. So I head towards the sink to wash my face and wake up.
“Ah.”
“……Ah”
There, I saw it.
She must have been taking a shower. Koga san, whose hair was still wet, was drying herself with a bath towel. Beautiful white skin and water droplets dripping from her big breasts. A nice scent of soap wafted around.
I did something …… stupid.
I was distracted. I failed. If you listen carefully, you should have been able to hear the sound of Koga-san changing her clothes, but I didn’t notice it at all.
“I-I’m sorry! Koga-san!”
I hurriedly averted my gaze and moved away from the washbasin. At least a slap on the a good thing. I should at least be prepared to be slapped. …… I thought so, but no matter how long I waited, Koga-san didn’t shout ‘Kyaa’ or anything like that.
She rather said in a somewhat testing voice, as if she was trying to stop me from leaving the room.
“…… Could it be, Ochiha-kun, did you do that on purpose?”
“No, no. I’m not. I’m sorry, I was a bit out of it when I woke up from sleep, that’s why …….”
“Is that so? Did you actually come to take a peek at my bath or something like that”
“No, no, no. That would be a crime.”
“Well, that’s true, but ……”
“I mean, sorry. Are you dressed yet? Should I go back to the living room?”
I’m sorry and want to leave this place as soon as possible, but for some reason Koga-san sounds like she’s having fun laughing.
“Fufufufufu.Actually, I have the property of becoming 30% more cute after taking a bath.”
“Ah, I guess I can kind of understand that. I sometimes look good-looking after taking a bath, too.”
“Ochiha-kun, you’re always good-looking, aren’t you?”
“If you say that, Koga-san is always cute too.”
“…………”
“…………”
I don’t know what to say to each other, so I’m a little at a loss for words.
“Anyway, can I go back already?”
“I’m …… thirty percent more, don’t you want to see me? I’ve already put my bottom on, it’s fine?”
“No, you’ll tell me that when you’ve got your top on too!”
After a stupid exchange like that, I returned to the living room and bowed again and again to Koga-san after her bath. But Koga-san didn’t seem to be angry at all, and forgave me normally.
I thought she would slap me more like in a …… romantic comedy manga, but that didn’t happen.
“Really, I don’t know what I’m doing.”
Maybe she was just being considerate. I decided to be a little more aware of my surroundings from now on, even in my sleep, and let myself take a shower.
‘Ah, are you finished with your bath? Dinner is ready, let’s eat together.”
When I got out of the bath, Koga-san was making me breakfast.
“Thanks for everything. …… itadakimasu.”
I eat a delicious breakfast, feeling kind of pathetic. I felt a little awkward, but Koga-san’s appearance was no different from usual. So when I noticed, my shoulders also relaxed.
And after we ate breakfast together, I made Koga-san a cup of coffee and wanted to talk to her about what happened with Sakaki-san. ……
“It’s fine, you don’t have to talk about it.”
Koga shook her head.
“You don’t mind? Aside from what happened yesterday, it’s related to what I was …… crying about the other day and stuff.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s not that Ochiha-kun and that person …… are in a relationship, right?”
“…… yes. I’m not in a relationship.”
Even though I answered that, my heart no longer hurt. After talking with her yesterday and falling asleep, I must have cleared my mind.
Now, strangely enough, my heart is light.
“Then, it’s fine. I’m not the kind of heavy woman who digs into someone’s past.”
“But it bothers you, doesn’t it? I …… was crying at the time.”
“…Well, it’s nothing to worry about. But that’s okay. In exchange, I want you to rely on me and not carry it all by yourself when you’re having a hard time. No matter what reason Ochiha-kun is suffering, I’ll be there for you. I’m definitely on Ochiha-kun’s side.”
“…………thank you”
I felt like I was going to cry. Koga-san told me she was on my side. I looked so pathetic, and I saw her changing clothes just now. However, she still told me that she was on my side.
I don’t know what kind of relationship I will have with Koga-san from now on. But now, I was genuinely happy to hear those words.
“…… but just in case, I want to make sure ……”
Koga-san, who had put her coffee cup on the table, coughed deliberately and then looked at me with an upward glance.
“Confirmation? Okay, you can ask me anything you want.”
When I replied that, Koga-san said in a slightly uneasy voice
“Well, Ochiha-kun, you don’t have anyone you’re dating right now, do you? You are not dating that person from yesterday, but it’s not …… that you have another girlfriend.”
“No, I don’t. I’m not that popular.”
The moment she hears those words, Koga’s expression suddenly brightens.
“Well, you’re right! Ochiha-kun, if you had a girlfriend, you wouldn’t let me stay at your house! Ochiha-kun, you seem so serious!”
“I don’t think that’s serious, I think it’s just normal. ……”
To be precise, I brought Koga-san home before I broke up with Sakaki-san. …… Well, but that’s not something I need to worry about now.
“Alright, then I’m going to go home soon. I’m not going to stay here for two nights, my mother and father will be worried. I didn’t even bring a change of clothes.”
After finishing her coffee, Koga-san stands up and stretches out with a satisfied look on her face.
“Well, shall I take you home?”
I get up and try to get my jacket, but Koga shakes her head.
“No, it’s fine. We don’t live that far away from each other. I’ve told my father and mother that I’m going to stay at a girl friend’s house, in case they see me with Ochiha-kun. They might get a weird misunderstanding.”
“I see. Then …… thank you for all the things you did for me. In return, I’ll treat you to something next time.”
“Okay, that’s it. Rather than that…maybe I can come visit again like this? I can do a lot of things like cooking and cleaning. There are still some dishes I want Ochiha-kun to try… …”
Koga-san’s cheeks turn red and she twirls her fringes around her fingers.
“Well, I’ll ask you for that ……, as long as it won’t be a nuisance.”
“Yay! Then this is also a promise! As a thank you, if you give me another massage like yesterday, that’s fine!”
“No, that’s…”
“No! You’ve already promised to do that too! So, see you again, okay? Ochiha-kun!”
Koga-san laughed cheerfully and left. I thought I would at least see her off to the door, but I didn’t even have time for that. …… Well, we’ve already exchanged contact details, so we can always keep in touch.
Thinking this, I looked at my new phone and saw that I had already received a message from Koga-san.
“…… No, what are you thinking?”
What we had received was a close-up photo of Koga san’s chest. When did she take these photos? The two moles on her chest are visible.
What am I supposed to do with such a photo?
“Well, it’s okay.”
The relationship with Sakaki-san has come to an end, and I can laugh with Koga-san like we used to. The problem still remains, including the phone incident, but now I can honestly say that I’m going to do my best from now on.
“Maybe I’ll try to be a little more honest too.”
Ever since my father and mother abandoned me, I always thought I had to become someone else. Since I started going out with Sakaki-san, I’ve always thought I had to become someone worthy of her.
But Koga-san accepted me as a pathetic person.
That doesn’t mean I don’t have to work hard, and I’m not special enough to be liked by everyone just by being normal. I think I understand that much. …… but maybe I should try to trust the people around me a little more too.
“I’d like to invite Mori and Kawaguchi-kun to go for a swim once.”
Thinking that, I was looking forward to Monday a little. …but a problem I hadn’t anticipated at all was going to happen.
