CHAPTER 419: CHAPTER 414: I HATE GUYS WHO SNEAK OFF THE MOST!

Tachibana Tomoku helped cover someone on the sofa with a blanket, folded the corner, and gave it a light pat before sitting down on the floor next to the sofa.

Light and gentle breathing sounds arose nearby. Shirakawa Sawahei could feel the girl’s face close to him, silently watching his profile in the moonlight that was as gentle as water.

Without speaking, the girl’s eyes reflected either the moonlight or strands of gentle gazes. Shirakawa Sawahei was being stared at for a while and couldn’t help but find it amusing inside.

Tachibana coming to help him with the blanket was indeed sensible. But the girl didn’t return to sleep after covering him and just sat there on the floor watching him, which put Shirakawa Sawahei in a slightly awkward position.

Pretending to sleep? No idea how long Little Invisible Study Girl will keep watching... Should he just reveal he’s awake? It might scare Little Invisible Study Girl into tears.

Staying up late just to watch someone seems like something only a strange person would do, right? Shirakawa Sawahei originally thought his pretense of sleeping had been discovered, with Little Invisible sitting there all this time to confirm if he was truly asleep.

He closed his eyes, naturally unable to see the moonlight in Tachibana Tomoku’s eyes. Seeing himself maintain a posture for so long, Shirakawa Sawahei couldn’t resist the urge to move.

The Little Invisible Study Girl noticed the person on the sofa showing signs of awakening and was startled, immediately trying to stand up and escape. However, having sat on the floor for a long time, her legs were clearly numb, and she stumbled forward.

There was no classic anime accidental kiss moment; instead, Miss Tachibana Tomoku dived headfirst into Shirakawa Sawahei’s chest, giving him a rocket headbutt.

Her night raid failed, and her plot exposed, Miss Tachibana Tomoku tearfully held her small head and looked at Shirakawa Sawahei’s face...

It’s over... It’s all over...

At this moment, even if Shirakawa Sawahei wanted to continue acting with Tachibana, it was impossible to remain indifferent...

So, he opened his eyes with a look of bewilderment.

Miss Tachibana Tomoku: Continues to cover her face...

Hoping to turn from Little Invisible to truly invisible, Tachibana Tomoku refused to meet Shirakawa Sawahei’s gaze. He was left with no choice but to speak first.

"Tachibana?"

Being called by name, Tachibana Tomoku trembled all over and instinctively wanted to escape, but turned and hit her knee on the coffee table. The girl gave a light "ow" before covering her mouth with all her might to suppress any sound.

He grabbed her small hand, pulled her onto the sofa, and slightly bent over, gesturing for her to keep it quiet.

"Don’t disturb them."

Miss Tachibana Tomoku, with tears in her eyes, gently nodded. Only then did Shirakawa Sawahei breathe a sigh of relief and slowly released the girl’s hand.

"Did you hurt yourself?"

Shirakawa Sawahei sat up, lowering his voice as he asked, "When did you come over, Tachibana?"

Hearing Shirakawa Sawahei’s question, it seemed he hadn’t noticed she had been secretly watching him all along. Little Invisible felt slightly relieved, blushing, and said, "No, I just came over to give this to you."

The seamless switch of Level 4 acting left Shirakawa Sawahei’s face full of sincerity. He sighed lightly, pretending to be helpless, and said, "It’s not yet the season where sleeping on the sofa can make you catch a cold, right? Tachibana, do you have a misunderstanding about my constitution?"

"No, not at all, I just..."

"Alright, alright, I know you mean well. But, Tachibana, if you wear pajamas like this, you might catch a cold too, right?"

"Ah, well, I’m okay..."

Shirakawa Sawahei sighed again and placed the small blanket he had just covered with onto the girl’s shoulders.

"Cover yourself properly."

The moonlight in Little Invisible’s eyes seemed to brighten a bit. She tugged at the blanket Shirakawa Sawahei had draped over her, feeling strange, "Shirakawa, don’t you feel uncomfortable sleeping on the sofa?"

"No, not at all."

"But... I feel it’s weird sleeping in your bed..."

"Hmm? Any issues with that?"

"N-no, not an issue..." Tachibana Tomoku blushed, recalling the strange thoughts that popped up while alone in Shirakawa Sawahei’s room...

Shirakawa’s bed... and the blanket... all have his scent...

This place... this is where Shirakawa sleeps and lives...

Before sleeping, does Shirakawa read? What kind of books does he read? "Letters from an Unknown Woman"? Does Shirakawa read romance novels too?

Shirakawa sleeping on the sofa... would he look cute? Does he find it strange to sleep in a different bed? Tossing and turning, restless because he’s not in his usual environment?

Shirakawa...

Wait... I’ve been thinking about too many things; is it because I slept on Shirakawa’s bed?

Although I’m the one sleeping on the comfortable bed, it’s me who seems to have become the insomniac...

So weak... so ashamed...

"What is it?" Shirakawa Sawahei gently shook the daydreaming Little Invisible, saying seriously, "If there’s anything inconvenient, just tell me directly, and I’ll see if I can help you solve it."

"N-no."

"Really not?"

"If there’s something... there’s a little... because you’re sleeping on the sofa, I can’t relax and sleep well..." Miss Tachibana Tomoku said softly.

"Can... can we sleep in the room together?"

The hope in the girl’s eyes was astonishingly bright. Shirakawa Sawahei froze for a second upon hearing this, his expression becoming a bit strange, "Sleep in the room together?"

"I can sleep on the floor! It’s not very cold now!" Miss Tachibana Tomoku quickly added, "A mat on the floor would be enough!"

"It’s really okay! It’s not the season to catch a cold easily yet!"

"..."

Tachibana, what you’re saying now is completely different from what you just did, you know.

He smiled helplessly and reached out to rub the girl’s small head, playfully messing up her hair. The girl lowered her head, her joyful expression hidden in the night, like a soft, cute kitten being petted.

"Alright then, I’ll sleep in the room."

"Okay!"

"But I’ll sleep on the floor."

"Ah..."

"Well, as a guest, it would be very rude to let the guest sleep on the floor, right?" Shirakawa Sawahei said decisively, "That’s settled, no more arguing."

Joking, even the Black Hearted Lolita got to sleep in the bed when she stayed over before, so how could the more well-behaved Little Invisible Study Girl sleep on the floor?

Wait... speaking of the Black Hearted Lolita... she probably had planned today’s overnight stay at my place, right? She wouldn’t rush in like she broke down my door last time, surely!!

Damn, I forgot to ask before going to sleep, what a blunder.

With a mind full of regret and a blanket, Shirakawa Sawahei and Little Invisible gently walked up to the second floor, opening the bedroom door to prepare for sleep.

Everything seemed to quiet down. No sounds were made for a long time. After over ten minutes, a certain someone quietly popped out of the room, headed to the sofa downstairs.

Shirakawa~ Shirakawa... hmm???

Where’s Shirakawa?

This big Shirakawa I left here, where did he go!

Who did this! Why does everyone bully me...

A face of despair, the wailing person returned to the room, and soon after, the bedroom door on the second floor quietly opened again.

Black Hearted Lolita: ?

No need to say, it must have been intercepted by that woman, Tsukimi Sakurazawa, whose body is 80% made up of breasts!

Curse you, boob monster!! Missy here hates those who sneak off the most!
