CH 58

I woke up to an angel.

Ah, I thought my favorite character was an angel. Well, she is still an angel anyway. The angel before seemed to have fallen asleep, as I slept on her lap pillow. She is sleeping with her head facing down towards me, I can see that innocent sleeping face behind her soft bulges.

I should’ve been sleeping sideways, but I woke up looking up, so she could probably have seen my sleeping face.

It’s still a welcoming sight, if not a little embarrassing.

I thought about it before, but Sara has a beautiful sleeping face.

Her impression when she is awake is cute, but her sleeping face is more beautiful. Her long lashes, her cute nose, and her slightly opened lips. All parts were so nice, it was like a work of art.

I held in bated breath as I saw the beauty of her breathing raised her chest slowly up and down.

By the way, something similar happened with “Shiori” in the game involving “Aoi”’s sleeping face.

Right now I’m not interested in Aoi’s sleeping face, but I understand the feeling of wanting to see your favorite person’s resting face. Including the desire to steal away a kiss from her pink colored lips.

“Hm. . .Fuhh. . .”

As I stared up at Sara’s sleeping face, she began to wake up. For a moment she was still vaguely out of focus and half awake, but as soon as she noticed me looking up from her lap, her eyes went wide and completely awake.

Good morning.

“Ahaha, Looks like before I knew it I fell asleep. Good morning, Shiori-san.”

“Good morning, Sara. You slept so nicely. You had such a cute sleeping face, I was thinking perhaps I’d steal some of it.”

I stretched my hand out and poked her lips as I uttered those lines from the game. It isn’t Aoi, but I’m hoping saying the same lines might improve my love score a little.

She was supposed to be bashful, but she simply blinked a little, and then broke into a smile.

“Well, if they were robbed, you’d have to take responsibility.”

She then gently placed her thumb on my lower lip.

H-Hey. . .What, that’s a little erotic! I’m shuddering!

Unlike me who just lightly pressed my index finger onto her lips, she put  another finger on my cheek, it was soothing my lips with exquisite force! ! What is this high technique? Where have I seen this before? This is like the Yuri books I read!

“. . . .I lost.”

I couldn’t stand it. I covered my face with both hands and admitted defeat, but a relentless counter came saying “You are so weak to counter attacks”. Jeez stop. My life bar is going into the negatives!

That satisfying lip sensation is still lingering, even now I can still feel it.

“Sara has gotten stronger. You used to turn red so fast earlier.”

“It’s thanks to your help. However, if you make those jokes, somebody will misunderstand.”

“It’s okay. I only say that to you.”

“Yeah yeah. Well despite that. It’s kind of like Yoko-san.”

“. . . That hurts the most.”

That was a shock, but I can’t deny it. Yoko would have happily said what I just did with an exaggerated gesture. Am I being influenced. . .?

“Yoko-san told me that you were being pursued by your junior. She said you were tired, and told me to try and heal you.”

“Eh, Sara, wait. You know. . .Yoko doesn’t know when to shut up!”

I have been thinking about it for a long time, but that’s too much information to tell someone!

Well, I guess you chose who to tell, but you should’ve given me a warning.

“Is that why you contacted me? Because you heard that?”

“No, that’s different. I heard about it from Yoko just before you came. I was being honest about being lonely.”

“Ah, maybe she contacted you because I took a break from club activities.”

Although I just didn’t want to go, I took a break, although I gave priority to Sara. So perhaps she is worried.

“Shiori-san, are you going to date that girl?”

“Eh. I’m not going out with her!”

“So, you don’t like them?”

“I don’t hate them, but I just don’t like them in a romantic way. I’d prefer just having a helping Senpai relationship. She hasn’t confessed, so I can’t reuse her right now. . .”

As she saw me give a troubled talk, Sara gave a bitter smile and said. ”Ah- I understand.”

She understands. She must have also dealt with those people around her. That’s what makes me have those hazy feelings. Not everyone is going to suddenly confess, And there may be some people going around trying to make things in their favor before aiming for it. . .That’s what worries me.

“Hey, what kind of girl is she? Is she cute?”

“Hmm, Well. . .You’ve met her before. We saw her when we went to buy a present.”

“Ahh, the short girl?”

“Yeah. . . What did you think about her?”

We are mainly talking about Aoi, but Koharu was also there.

“I felt like she loved Shiori-san, and she was bluntly showing her jealousy of me.”

She said it so easily, but that means she is sensitive to it. Sara has dealt with jealousy since junior high school, so she will see it.

I’ve never noticed Aoi exposing her jealousy to Sara. Was that the reason Sara was so strange at that time?

“Shiori-san is popular with both men and women, I’m sure you’ll soon have a lover.”

“Look who’s talking. I’m not going to date just because I’m popular. . At Least I’d only want to go out with people I like.”

After saying that I noticed something.

Um? Perhaps now, follow the flow and confess? I won’t go out with anybody because I like Sara. No, right now it seems like a low win rate. Above all, it will be really awkward to confess while having a lap pillow.

I mean, she has been stroking my head since a while ago, so what do I do? I didn’t care because it was too natural, but on second thought it’s an amazing situation.

“That’s right. I hope Shiro-san doesn’t find a lover for a while, that way I can still give you headpats.”

“Fufu, that wouldn’t be so bad. Well, you get tired, you can take my lap pillow.”

“Eh- Um, that’s embarrassing.”

“. . . You are saying that while I’m like this?”

Sara laughed and messed up my hair. I also laughed while telling her to stop petting me like a dog.

Ah, I’m happy. As I thought, I like you. I love you. From the bottom of my heart, even if I confess, I just want us to smile with each other like this forever.

However, Sara-san. I’d like for you not to phrase it saying “I prefer giving, not receiving.”. My Yuri otaku brain will look too much into it. Lap pillow, lap pillow.
