Chapter 22 - Do You Really Have a Girlfriend?

"…Hah!? Where's this!?"

"Ah, Sanada-kun, you're finally awake! This is my room. Sanada-kun, you didn't wake up at all until morning after you fainted…but I'm glad you're okay."

"S-Senpai…"

After I kissed senpai in an unexpected event… Apparently I passed out until morning, and when I woke up, I saw the worried look in senpai's eyes. Ah, I'm so pathetic… It was just an accident, and I caused such trouble for senpai… I want to hide in a hole…

"I-I'm sorry about yesterday! I-I can't believe it ended up like that…"

"N-No, Sanada-kun didn't do anything wrong. It was Chi-chan's fault. (No no, for me, it was great to give Sanada-kun my first kiss. Gehehehehee.)

"B-But…"

"Let's have breakfast! Sanada-kun is probably hungry too, and today it looks like Chi-chan made it for us as an apology for yesterday. Come on, let's go!"

"Y-Yes…"

Well, I'm pretty hungry after all that senpai cooking yesterday, so I'll take her word for it. Besides, breakfast will be a nice change of pace.

"Ah…S-Sanada-kun…"

When I went to the dining room table, I found Chihiro-san looking at me with a distressed expression on her face. I knew Chihiro-san must be worried about what happened yesterday. …For some reason, she almost attacked me.

"I-I'm sorry about yesterday! I…I…don't really remember, but I tried to do something weird to Sanada-kun… O-On top of that, I made him kiss my sister…"

"D-Don't worry about it. We all make mistakes."

"…T-Thank you. I made you a nice breakfast today. I-I hope I can at least make it up to you…"

"Well then, I'm going to enjoy it thoroughly."

And just like that, I was fed breakfast prepared by Chihiro-san. Ah, it's delicious. It's great that Tsuchiya-senpai and her sister are all good at cooking.

"But I was surprised yesterday when Sanada-kun fainted as soon as I kissed him."

"Ah, hahaha… Well, it was out of the blue."

"I know. But I thought it was amazing that even Sanada-kun, who has a girlfriend, would faint like that… But the kiss was amazing~"

To be honest, I've never done it before, so I just passed out… E-Eh…? When I think about it, yesterday's kiss was my first kiss… Ahhh! I shouldn't think about that time anymore!

"…Hmm? But it's weird, don't you think? Because I can't believe that a man with a girlfriend would pass out from kissing… A-After all, you've done much more than that."

"Eh? Ah, well, that's… It was really sudden."

Chihiro-san looked at me suspiciously for some reason, so I decided to just push through the situation using suddenness as an excuse. A-After all, anyone would faint if they were suddenly kissed, right? Right!?

"…Sis, come to think of it, have you seen Sanada-kun's girlfriend?"

"Hmm? I don't think so…"

"Ah-haha~ It's a beautiful day today!"

"…Suspicious. Sanada-kun, do you really have a girlfriend?"

"I-I do~"

Chihiro-san continues to be suspicious of me, and even senpai gives me a kind of doubtful look. T-This is bad… If I don't do something, senpai will find out how I was just showing off at that time…

And if that happens…

[You did that to show off, Sanada-kun, you're the worst. Don't ever see me again.]

She might say that. W-What should I do… How do I get out of this predicament… Ah, right! It's definitely going to be absolutely ludicrous, but I have to ask that person for a favor! She's an international student, and even though she has the worst personality, if I manage to

get her a wig, she will be a great help to me…

"T-Then, senpai, I'll introduce my girlfriend next time. Yes, then I'm sure this suspicion will be cleared up!"

"Eh…? S-Sure, let's meet! (I-I'm finally meeting Sanada-kun's girlfriend…!? I think I would die for sure if they made out in front of me, but on the other hand, I guess it's also a chance to let Sanada-kun know that I'm better than his girlfriend… Y-Yes, that's it! This is time for me to show off my charm!)

"Good for you, Sis. You got a chance."

"Eh!? W-W-W-What are you…talking about…Chi-chan…"

"…Well, I kind of know what you're thinking. Well then, I'm going out for a bit. Sanada-kun, next time…let's hang out without doing naughty stuff."

"Eh? Ah, of course!"

And just like that, that was the end of my time at senpai's house. But it's been confirmed that things are going to get more troublesome…

Ah… I hope everything will be alright.
