Chapter 3.1

Don’t Imagine it As You Like, Idiot (1)

“…..So hot.”

In the middle of the night, I woke up to the hot temperature of my body.

It’s not uncommon during heat.

The suppressant worked well.

It was working properly so I only got this much… But as expected it couldn’t suppress all of the symptoms.

Sometimes, my heat turns into a fever and came at me like this.

But it wasn’t that bad that it made me hopeless. No matter what I did, I’d become like this by the second day.

I had half given up about that.

I moved my legs around, searching for a cold spot on the sheets. But the coldness only lasted for a moment, and soon it became meaningless because my body temperature was so unbearably hot.

“…What a pain.”

I really hate that I have to go through this month after month.

Why is it always omegas that get this?

Maybe because it was nighttime, or maybe because my body was in pain, that I couldn’t help but think negatively.

If only morning would come sooner. If morning came, I’m sure I’d feel a bit better.

But my body felt too hot that I couldn’t sleep.

I rolled over on the bed and picked up the phone that was near my pillow.

[So tired.]

That was what I typed on the chat screen with the Virtual Alpha.

He’s an AI, so time doesn’t matter right?

Just as I thought, he replied immediately even though it was this late. That’s AI for you.

[It’s so hot that I can’t sleep.]

I’m pretty sure it wasn’t that kind of hot I’m experiencing.

But I’m somewhat happy that he was being so kind and caring.

Maybe because everyone in my family was a beta, no one ever asked me about my heat.

My older sister, the only one who understood me, was a person who rarely came home in the first place. In the end, she met Dr. Kazuki who was an omega, and get married.

My sister is also a beta.

People said a lot of things about her because she married an omega even though she was a beta. But my sister didn’t seem to mind it at all.

On the contrary, she was worried about me instead. I remember being relieved when she told me that being an alpha or omega didn’t matter.

After my parents and my younger brother found out that I’m an omega, they treated me somewhat gingerly.

I soon realized that they were somehow trying to avoid the topic of verse gender.

They stopped watching omegaverse themed drama and changed the channels as soon as that topic was mentioned in the news.

Because they did all that, I started to feel bothered by it too. Even though it wasn’t really that different being an omega.

That’s why I avoided bringing up that topic by myself too.

My school is also for betas, and aside from the time I’m on my heat I spend my time in school like usual.

It’s true that I also didn’t want them to talk about it… But at times when I’m feeling weak like this, I want someone to talk with me.

I know that I’m being selfish.

[Yeah. I’m gonna look for some cold pack.]

“Is this guy my mom or something?”

Seeing him being desperate made me couldn’t help but laugh.

It was funny how that makes me feel a little bit better, even though I was feeling a little depressed earlier.

Maybe this app did give some results.

[I got it. What part of my body should I cool down?]

“A little bit below the ear… Whoa, so cold. Ah, but it feels good.”

As I was told, I put the cold pack wrapped in a tightly wrung towel behind my ear.

The heat that was smoldering inside my body didn’t change at all, but just cooling off that place made a big difference.

It felt like my head that had been so heavy had been refreshed.

Just like that, I lied down on the bed.

[This might be good.]

[Mm, will do.]

Just after, I actually fell asleep.
