Chapter 41: - June 27 (Saturday): Perhaps A Confession
I took care of Otomizu, who had gotten drunk at the pub, and returned to the hotel.
âHere, Otomizu. Weâre at the hotel.â
As we arrived at the hotel lobby, I called out to Otomizu, who was leaning on my shoulder, and she let out a cute âNn~~.â.
Perhaps it was the cool night breeze, but her face, which was red earlier, was back to normal.
But Otomizu wouldnât let go of my arm.
âI wish I could do this more often.â
âYou know what? I took care of you because you were drunk. But if youâre telling the truth, itâs not a good idea for you to grab onto me, a man, like this.â
âIâm drunk.â
âYou said you werenât drunk.â
However, I was worried about the situation.
I will follow her to her room.
After getting the key from the front desk, we got on the elevator and pushed the button for the ninth floor where Otomizuâs room was located.
The elevator door slowly closed and we were alone in the small space.
I was lending my shoulder to Otomizu, so I was in close contact with her, but this was quite awkward.
I wonder if I should say something.
If I donât say anything, she might think Iâm thinking of something weird. â¦â¦
No, is it weird to think that?
âAh! Hey! Saâ¦â¦! Sasasamiya-san~!â
Suddenly, Otomizu shouted.
But it was a strange reaction, different from being drunk.
âThatâs a lot of âsaâ in my name, isnât it?â
âI-Iâm sorry! I got nervous and made a mistake!â
Why are you so nervous all of a sudden?
Youâre clutching my clothes as hard as you can, whatâs wrong with you?
âUm, Ano!â
âAhâ
âActually, Iâd like to! I would like to visit Sasasamiya-sanâs room!!â
âWhy?â
âTh⦠that! Iâd like to take this opportunity to tell Sasasasa sasa sasamiya-san about my feelings!â
âIsnât âSaâ too much â¦.?â
I donât know, but she wanted to come to my room.
I shouldnât let her drink anymore, but I guessed we could at least talk over a glass of water.
It was only eight oâclock at night anyway.
It was too early to go to bed.
âAh, okay.â
âThank you!!â
âWhy do you have to be so hyped? â¦â
The elevator stopped at the ninth floor and the doors opened.
Then Otomizu left me.
âWeâ¦Well then! Iâm going to take a bath and get ready!!.â
âWhat? Arenât you going to come to my room like this?â
âNo! I mean, itâs my first time, so Iâm kind of nervous!!â
âWhat????â
What the hell is going on here?
I donât get it at all.
After exiting the elevator, Otomizu rushed to her room.
She had been drunk earlier, so why did she suddenly seemed so energetic?
âââââ
""
I went back to my room and waited for Otomizu to arrive.
âBut why was she so nervous?â
As I was thinking about this, I received an incoming call on my phone.
Pirorin ⪠pirorin âª
Oops, itâs a phone call.
I thought, Who is this at ⦠this time of night?
I pressed the button and accepted the call.
âGood evening, Onii-Sanâ
âHey, Yuika. Whatâs up?â
âNothing, but I tried to call.â
âHow fast-paced can you be?â
But I didnât feel so bad.
The fact that she called me when she didnât have any business with me meant that she trusted me that much.
Damn.
Youâre usually just teasing me, but youâre really attached to me.
How Cute.
âWhatâs Onii-San been up to?â
âJust relaxing in my room.â
âOh, sorry. You were doing something naughty.â
âNo, I wasnât.â
âWhat then?â
âYou.â
Ugh. â¦
This was what happened when I let my guard down a little.
Was she under some kind of curse that she had to make fun of me?
Donât say âsexâ when the Otomizu is about to come.
Youâll be conscious of it.
⦠and this was where I noticed something weird.
It was about Otomizu.
Suddenly I was nervous, âtelling my feelingsâ or âpreparing for the first timeâ, wasnât this somehow similar to the situation when you confess your feelings to someone you like?
No, â¦, but, but if thatâs the case â¦, then so be it!!!
Could it be that ⦠this is what you call a love flag!?
But then again, sheâs always full of energy.
She has never shown any such pretense until now. ...
â¦
I think there was. â¦
So what Otomizu meant by âwhat I want to tell youâ was a confession!?
I was a trainer and she was a junior staff member, so having an office romance while I was on a business trip was a problem.
At least, if it was after the training period was over, it would be â¦, but that was not what I was talking about!
As I pondered about this, Yuika asked me.
âWhatâs wrong with you suddenly shutting up?â
âSorry, Yuika. I need to talk to you about something. â¦â
âSmall talk?â
âTalk.â
âLetâs hear it.â
Afterwordâ¦
In the next installment, what is the high school girlâs advice on love?
Yuikaâs talk will shine!
