Chapter 56: CH 56

With the display rack in place, my room looked completely different from before.

Looking at my new room, I folded my arms and nodded.

The coolness I had before has become even more brilliant. Thank you, Otomizu.”

“No, no. You’re welcome.”

My room, which used to be called a cell, became much more stylish thanks to the items that Otomizu picked out for me.

The kitten figurines and small plants I bought together with the room softened the atmosphere of the room.

It somehow felt like the room of a handsome man.

It was honestly delightful to be able to witness my own growth.

“Sasamiya-san. It’s a little early, but would you like to have dinner?”

“Oh.”

While I was rearranging my room, Otomizu made beef stew for me.

The room was already filled with an enticing aroma.

“Wow. I’m impressed. It looks delicious.”

“My cooking skills are enhanced by Sasamiya-san’s effect”

Oh, that’s nice.

Such a home-like atmosphere.

I forgot how much I enjoyed eating at home.

I didn’t have much desire to get married, but when I was treated to a home-cooked meal like this, I started to think about wanting a wife.

“Itadakimasu.”

As soon as I took a spoonful of the tender beef, the flavor spread in my mouth, melted, and disappeared.

It’s insanely delicious!

“What do you think?”

“Delicious. It’s delicious.”

“You have to eat the broccoli.”

“I know.”

I could handle broccoli mixed with beef stew.

In addition, if you belonged to the broccoli-phobia alliance, you would understand why I resisted broccoli when it was served with hamburgers.

“However, I was saved today. Thanks to you, the atmosphere in the room has improved.”

“Fufufu~. This kind of thing is good, isn’t it? Thinking about the interior of the room together is something … that ….”

After saying that, Otomizu began fidgeting and shaking her body.

“Hmm? What’s up?”

“Let’s see, … You know, it’s like that thing.”

“What?”

What was it?

Judging from the way she looked at me, it was probably something she was a little embarrassed to say.

Hmmm …Oh! That. No doubt about it.

“Are you trying to say we look like a newlywed couple?”

“Hagyuwawawawawaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!”

As if she was too embarrassed, Otomizu panicked and stood up – but she lost her footing and fell on the spot.

Hey, hey, hey. … Are you okay? …

You fell down pretty hard.

I walked up to her and held out my hand.

“You’re such a doofus.”

“Oh, ….thank you, … thank you, …”

The sudden temper tantrum was still the same, it seemed.

Although I was no longer your instructor, I had to protect you when we were together.

I pulled Otomizy’s hand to make it easier for her to stand up.

This time, she collapsed on me with too much force.

“Whoa!”

On top of me, who had fallen backwards, was a cute junior student.

Yes, … I was pushed down by my junior.

I immediately tried to push Otomizu aside, but she hugged me tightly so I couldn’t move.

“Oh! Hey! Otomizu!”

“Ah! I’m sorry!! I was so surprised that I accidentally hugged you, but immediately afterwards my body stiffened and I can’t move right now!”

What the hell was that? …

I wondered how that was possible, but I had heard that people tend to act in ways they normally would not when they panic.

I thought that was exactly what was happening to Otomizu right now.

“So it’s going to be like this for a while!!”

“That’s how it’s going to be!”

“It’s okay, nice to meet you!!”

“It’s wonderfully good!!!!!”

The conversation was already messed up. …

I know Otomizu was probably nervous, but I was actually pretty nervous too.

At that time, I heard the sound of my intercom.

The moment I heard the delivery man’s unmotivated voice, Otomizu backed away from me as if startled.

“I’m sorry!! I’ll be right back!”

I was worried about the fact that her words sounded like she was treating me like a baby, but I was more worried about something else.

“Your body… was not working, right?”

“I’m healed!”

“I… I see!, I’m glad!!”

“Yes! Thank you for your concern!!”

“O… Oh! Don’t worry about it!”

Then Otomizu closed in with a surprised expression.

“Eh!? Do you mean that I can hug you again if you don’t mind?”

“Is that what you heard!?”

“I didn’t hear it, but I took the liberty of interpreting it!　I’m sorry!”

“I’m sorry! We all make mistakes, don’t we?!!”

“Yes! Yes~~~~!!”

After this, I called a cab to take Otomizu home.

Oh no, …

Even though it was an accident, it was a terrible situation.

If my rational mind had been a little weaker, I wonder what would have happened. …
