"I-I'm glad the light somehow came on… Ah, it was so scary, Sanada-kun…!"
"Y-Yeah, I'm glad as well…"
Sometime after I got out of the bath. The blackout was over and the lights came back on in the house. Ah, thank God. While the blackout was still going on, Senpai kept hugging me, which I guess is because she's afraid of the dark… It was really hard for me to hold back.
"Well, it's late, so let's go to bed. Can I sleep on the sofa here?"
"Eh, that's not good, Sanada-kun. I can't have someone sleeping on the sofa. Come on, follow me."
She pulled my hand and tried to take me somewhere. Somehow, I could guess where it was. Well, there doesn't seem to be a spare room or anything in senpai's house, so…
"Use the bed in my room!"
I knew it! T-There's no way I could do that! I'm sure I won't be able to sleep. I'll have to somehow talk senpai out of this…
"No, we can't do that, senpai! I-Isn't your parents' room empty?"
"A-About that… My dad and mom are both futon lovers, and since they're traveling, they've taken their futon with them. That's why we don't have it here. Y-You have to sleep here."
"…R-Really?"
No, that's a bit of an unreasonable lie, isn't it? I mean, who would take a futon, let alone a pillow! Besides, senpai's eyes are really scurrying around too…
"I-It's true! You have to believe me!"
"B-But… In the first place, where will senpai sleep!?"
"W-Well, that's… Ah, seriously! I-I want to sleep with Sanada-kun! Please, Sanada-kun, sleep next to me! Let's sleep!"
"WHAA!?"
In desperation, senpai pulled my hand and dragged me to her bed. Then, she came up next to me, very closely.
"I-If I sleep like this… Well, I'll have peace of mind if the power goes out again… S-So, that's why…we'll do this."
She was so close that when she spoke, her breath would blow on my face, and if I made a bad move, I'd kiss her. I'd never seen senpai's face from such a distance before, but when I saw her pleading desperately with me, looking embarrassed… I had no choice but to do exactly as she said.
"…O-Okay."
"Y-Yay! T-Then… Let's have a lot of chats here. It's a bit early for bed, isn't it?"
"Is that so? I think it's time to go to bed…"
"No~, let's talk! Yes, let's talk about love. Sanada-kun, how are things with your girlfriend these days?"
"Eh!? Well, uh…we're doing great. I call her sometimes at night."
"Hmm, I see… But have you ever experienced talking like this at night, alone, in bed, just the two of you?"
"W-Well…"
Senpai touched my cheek with her right hand, smiled a little and asked me that. I know I should lie, but…for some reason, I couldn't lie in front of senpai right now. Because senpai, who is reflected at close range, is really cute and beautiful… My heart can't stop pounding.
With my restless body now, I'm not going to be able to tell anything but a bad lie.
"W-We…haven't."
"I see… Then I guess Sanada-kun's first time like this is with me, right?"
"W-Well…"
"H-Hey… Sanada-kun. A-At this rate… I…erm… (I-It's too soon! But this is the only way to create that kind of atmosphere… This is the deciding match…I have to fight for my feelings…!)"
"Hey sis, when did I fall asleep….AHH!"
"C-Chi-chan!?"
Whether the timing was good or bad, Chihiro-san came into senpai's room, saw that we were both in the same bed, and screamed as before.
"What were you both doing in the same bed…!? Ahh, naughty! Perverts! You shameless people!"
"Y-You're wrong, Chi-chan! W-Well, it might seem that way, though…"
"Pervert! Both of you are perverts!!!"
"Wait, Chi-Cha… Kyaa!"
"!?"
Chihiro-san forcibly pulled Senpai's hand, and as senpai resisted, my lips coincidentally overlapped with senpai's. That's right…we kissed.
It should have been only for a moment, but a soft and sweet sensation ran through my body at once…
"..."
"S-Sanada-kun… Sanada-kun!? (I kissed him, I kissed him, I kissed him, I kissed him, I kissed him, I kissed him, I kissed him… Sanada-kun and I kissed!!!)"
Having kissed senpai, I was so shocked that, pathetically… I fainted.
