As he parked his motorcycle near the apartment area, Shishio looked at the apartment where Nanami was living, and he had to admit that this apartment was a bit too old, right?
Nanami didn't notice Shishio's gaze, but she still said, "Sorry that this apartment is a bit too old." She tried to choose the cheapest apartment that she could find around the nearby area, and she found this place.
"It's alright. Don't you remember that I lived in Sakurasou? This place isn't that much different," Shishio said, but the truth, Sakurasou was several times better than this place.
Even though Sakurasou's building might seem old from the outside, the inside was clean, new, huge, and comfortable.
Shishio wasn't sure how it was inside this apartment, but he could tell it was pretty cramped. But, more importantly, many people were living on Sakurasou, so the security was better than this place where there weren't any automatic lock systems or other security systems, so the tenant could only lock the door by using a key.
"But Sakurasou isn't that bad, right?" Nanami said.
"Yeah, which is why you should move to Sakurasou," Shishio said without hesitation.
Nanami looked at Shishio and asked, "You really want me to move to Sakurasou?"
"Yes." Shishio nodded without hesitation, without looking away from Nanami's gaze.
Nanami blushed once again, wondering whether Shishio really wanted to live with her. If possible, she wanted to live with him in an apartment together, but she knew that it was unrealistic. 'Sakurasou...'
"How about we enter first, Nanami?" Shishio asked since he had to admit that it was pretty chilly.
Nanami also realized that Shishio's body trembled a bit and quickly said, "Then come on. Let's enter my apartment first."
"Thanks."
Nanami guided Shishio to her apartment that was located on the second floor of the apartment building. She then opened the lock on the key, then opened the door. "Please enter Shishio-kun, but I'm sorry that it is a bit too small."
"No...." Shishio wanted to say "no," but he had to admit that Nanami's apartment was really cramped.
Nanami's apartment is a 1LDK apartment. There is one room in addition to a living, dining, and kitchen area.
Even though there was a kitchen area, Shishio wasn't sure whether he could call it that since there wasn't even a stove in this place or microwave there.
Luckily, the bathroom was inside, or else...
When he saw this apartment, Shishio had to admit that it was better for Nanami to live in Sakurasou at this moment.
"Shi - Shishio-kun, don't look too much..." Nanami's face was red, feeling so embarrassed when she saw Shishio was looking at her apartment intently.
"Sorry, sorry." Shishio apologized and closed the door of the apartment before he took off his shoes.
Looking at Shishio, who took off his shoes, Nanami blushed and realized that it was her first time to bring a boy into her apartment, and at the same time, she felt that was quite bold. She knew that Shishio was Nana's girlfriend, yet...
Nanami shook her head and decided to forget about that matter, especially when she thought about her conversation with her co-worker before. She also thought about the thing that her co-worker gave before she went back and couldn't help but blush.
"What's wrong, Nanami?" Shishio asked.
"Ah, no - nothing!" Nanami shook her head hurriedly, then said, "Shishio-kun, can you help me to take out the bento in my bag? I want to change my clothes first."
"Sure." Shishio nodded and received Nanami's bag before he entered Nanami's room.
Nanami hurriedly took some of her clothes before she went to the bathroom to change her clothes.
Shishio glanced at Nanami and thought about her choice of clothes. 'Does this girl want to seduce me?' He shook his head and took out two bentos that she bought and could feel that it was still warm. He knew that this girl should warm up the bento on the convenience store before they went back to her apartment. He took it out slowly so it wouldn't mess up the bento, but then he was dumbfounded when he saw a familiar box inside her bag. He took it out without hesitation, staring at the familiar box for a moment, and his expression was a bit weird at that moment.
'Does this girl want to seduce me?'
---
Nanami changed her clothes slowly and shyly in the bathroom, staring at her reflection in the mirror. She turned her head right and left, looking at her ponytail from time to time, wondering whether it was messed up or not. Even though Shishio didn't say anything, she was quite sensitive toward his gaze, and she could tell that he often gazed on her nape. She didn't know if he did it subconsciously or deliberately, but she wouldn't say much and thought to make her ponytail better.
However, suddenly Nanami realized that there was something wrong. She recalled that she had asked Shishio to take out the bentos from her bag, but inside her bag...
"...."
Nanami, then without hesitation, opened the bathroom door and wanted to stop Shishio, but...
Shishio was sitting on the tatami floor while holding a box of condoms, looking at it curiously.
"That..." 2x
Shishio and Nanami looked at each other before tears shed out of Nanami's eyes.
"...."
---
"Okay, okay, stop crying. I know that it isn't your fault. Everything was the fault of your co-worker who put that thing into your bag, right?" Shishio patted Nanami, who was sobbing after he took a box of condoms from her bag. Even though he felt weird at first, he knew that this girl was still a virgin, and she hadn't tasted that forbidden pleasure.
How could he be so sure that Nanami was a virgin?
Nanami was one of the heroines on the harem protagonist story, and it was the number one rule that the heroines on those stories must be a virgin, and was a bit stupid since they could fall for an indecisive, normal, and dull harem protagonist.
Still, such a stupid girl was the cutest.
Nanami stopped sobbing, but her eyes were still red. "... You do not misunderstand me?"
"Yes." Shishio patted Nanami's head gently and said, "I can't pretty much tell that you don't have an experience and this thing..." He picked the box of condoms in front of Nanami, which caused her face to redden. "It's the guy's job to buy this thing. Not a girl."
Looking at how calm Shishio was, Nanami somehow couldn't help but ask, "You have experienced Shishio-kun?"
Shishio put down the thing in his hand and said, "How about we eat dinner first? I'm famished."
"...."
Nanami looked at Shishio for a moment, but she didn't say anything afterward. "Well, let's eat." She nodded since she was also quite hungry. "Wait a moment. I'll pick up some barley tea."
"Hmm."
Shishio opened the bento, then looked at Nanami and wondered why this girl let her guard down so much. If his mind wasn't sane and he was someone with a lot of experience, his heart might be beating so fast when he saw this scene.
Nanami's clothes were quite skimpy. She wore a white tank top, which showed off her D cup perfectly, and her boobs almost spilled out, showing how dangerous her D cup was. Two white straps were also visible from her shoulders, telling Shishio that she was wearing a white bra under that tank top. She also wore a short skirt that fluttered around, making it hard for him to put his eyes on since her appearance was just so dangerous right now.
Nanami might not be wearing make-up, or rather, she was quite plain right now since she wouldn't go out anywhere.
Still, Shishio had to admit that this girl was cute, and he might always have seen high-class women with make-up and elegant appearance in his previous life that made a girl like Nanami become quite refreshing and attractive in his eyes.
"Wh - What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Nanami blushed when Shishio was staring at her from up to down.
"Nanami, you should put something on your like a jacket or something since I'm not sure where to put my eyes," Shishio said helplessly and looked away.
Looking at Shishio, who seemed embarrassed, Nanami was a bit stunned since it was her first time to see this side of him, but at the same time, she thought that he was pretty cute and she wanted to tease him somehow. "Sorry, it's a bit hot." Still, when she realized what she was saying, her face was so red since she was too bold, right?
"........"
Shishio then looked at Nanami, whose face turned red, and that redness gradually spread into her neck, ears, and smooth, white mounds. "I can tell that it is pretty hot from how red you are."
"It's a bit cold now. I'll wear my jacket on." Nanami couldn't handle this ambiguous atmosphere and took a jersey jacket on her shelf.
"That's a great idea." Shishio nodded without hesitation.
After Nanami wore her jersey jacket, they started to eat while talking about a normal exam and the script he had given before.
Shishio had printed the script for Nanami so she could read it at him since he knew that this girl didn't have her own printer.
Reading her script quietly, Nanami stopped eating and focussed all of her attention on the script.
"You're not eating, Nanami?" Shishio asked.
"Hmm... after I read this..." Nanami said absentmindedly since it was her first time to be given a task to become a "Seiyuu" in an anime, so she wanted to give her best, but...
"Take it down." Shishio grabbed the script directly from Nanami's hands.
"Wh --?!" Nanami was dumbfounded.
"Eat first," Shishio said.
"I...."
"Eat first."
"......."
"Um."
Nanami pouted and started to eat before she complained. "You're always like this, Shishio-kun."
"If I don't do this, then when are you going to eat?" Shishio looked at Nanami helplessly and asked, "Or rather, have you prepared for the Monthly Exam? Have you studied?"
"Ugh..." Nanami couldn't look at Shishio straight, and she showed an awkward expression. She couldn't even tell Shishio the truth that she forgot about the Monthly Exam, or rather, she might escape and ignore this matter since she knew that her result would be bad.
"........"
Shishio looked at Nanami for a moment and knew how this girl was an ordinary girl. She ran away from her home in Osaka to Tokyo to follow her dream to become "Seiyuu," but because her father disagreed with her dream, her father gave her a minimum of pocket money so she would give up her dream. However, she was stubborn, and in the end, she decided to work a part-time job so much that she even broke the school rules. He knew that this girl was working hard, but at the same time, he knew that this girl was stupid.
Working hard is good and all, but it is better to work smartly.
Shishio knew that he might be cruel to say this, but he just couldn't help but feel that this stupidness was a bit cute, and he just wanted to keep her with him as a pet somehow.
Joke asides, Shishio knew that unlike him, who was coming from a wealthy family and had a system, Nanami didn't have all of that, so...
"Nanami."
"Hmm?" Nanami was still nervous, wondering what Shishio was going to say, but...
"How about I hire you as my maid?"
"......."
Out of all of the things in her head, Nanami had never thought of this in her life.
