Chapter 198: 198

After my stroll with Sieg-san, we came back to Rei-san and Fia-san’s home .

I was feeling a bit gloomy, but that was resolved after my stroll with Sieg-san, and I thought all I had to do now was get a good night’s sleep and get ready for tomorrow, but at that moment, a troubling situation arose .

[Kaito-san! How many times do I have to tell you to make you understand!!!?]

[That’s my line!]

[……You’re really stubborn, aren’t you……]

[……I return those words back to you . ]

……Sieg-san and I were currently having what you would call an argument for the first time since we met .

However, it isn’t that we’re speaking ill of each other or that we’re displeased . It’s simply because we held opinions that clashed with each other .

[……Like I said, I’ll go sleep on the floor! Sieg-san, you go sleep on the bed!]

[That’s no good! Kaito-san is our guest! I’ll be sleeping on the floor!]

[If you’re saying it like that, there’s no way I would let a woman sleep on the floor either! I won’t budge on this one!]

Yes, Sieg-san and I are arguing about the one and only bed .

Even though two people could sleep on it if they wanted to because of its size, Sieg-san wouldn’t want to sleep with a man like me on the same futon, so I told her that I was originally planning to sleep on the floor…… But Sieg-san just wouldn’t stop insisting that she couldn’t let me, as her guest, sleep on the floor .

And now, we are arguing about giving each other the bed .

[I’m stronger than you . I used to sleep outdoors a lot, so I’m fine on the floor . ]

[In the world where I was in, it was common to sleep on the floor with a futon laid out on the floor . It’s fine if I just sleep on the floor . ]

[…………………]

[…………………]

Lilia-san once described me and Sieg-san as being similar to each other, and I think that might actually be true .

[Anyway, I have my pride as a man too! I can’t let a woman sleep on the floor!]

[You don’t have to treat me like a woman! I’m not sexy or feminine at all!]

[That’s not true! Sieg-san is a very charming, lovely woman!!!]

[Hweh!? T- T- T- Thank you……]

[Eh? Ah, no……]

I just reflexively said something outrageous!?

Hearing the words I shouted at her, Sieg-san’s face turns red as she looks down . I can’t continue to speak anymore either .

Unable to speak to each other, seeing Sieg-san looking down and fidgeting made me feel embarrassed and I looked away .

However, the conversation wouldn’t go on if we just stay silent like this, so after a moment of silence, I slowly opened my mouth .

[……B- But, you see…… If the both of us won’t budge at all, we’ll have no choice but to sleep in the same bed though?]

[……I- It’s not…… l- like I…… mind it that much anyway . ]

[……Ehh?]

If we both won’t allow the other person to sleep on the floor, we’ll have to sleep together in the same bed…… When I told her that, to my surprise, Sieg-san said she was fine with it .

I know she’s just looking out for me but……

[……A- Are you really sure you’re okay with that?]

[……Yes…… I- I guess Kaito-san really wouldn’t want to be in the same bed as a large woman like me, right?]

[N- No, I don’t think of such things at all…… Also, Sieg-san is a really lovely woman . Your height is also part of your charm . ]

[ ~ ~ ! ? ! ? ]

Sieg-san is about the same height…… or maybe a bit taller than me, and she seems to be pretty conscious about that .

She has already asked it multiple times before, to which I told her I wasn’t intimidated by her features .

It’s true that Sieg-san is tall, and with her extremely beautiful face, at first glance, she gave a cool impression .

But after talking with her, I realized she’s very gentle and her height, coupled with her slender figure and beautiful proportions, is just one of the things that makes her so attractive .

[……P- Please don’t flatter too much…… I- It’s making me feel embarrassed . ]

[Ah, I- I’m sorry . ]

Back then, Sieg-san couldn’t speak, so even now, I know what she wants to say even if she doesn’t say much, and in fact, the opposite was also true, and she seems to know what I’m thinking to a certain extent too .

She could tell that I find Sieg-san attractive, and as she tried hiding her long ears that had turned red, she looked very cute…… and thinking about what’s about to come, I felt my nervousness tremendously rise .

……It’s quiet… Too quiet .

The ticking of the clock is extremely loud, and I’m currently keeping my eyelids shut, surrounded by a crystal-clear silence in the darkness of the night .

My body was considerably tired . I took a long trip on the Flying Dragon Services, a lot of things have happened since we got here, and I took a night stroll…… But even with all the things I’ve done and how tired my body is, I don’t feel like I can sleep at all .

I’m lying on my side on the edge of the bed, and behind me is Sieg-san, who is lying down and should be facing the opposite direction .

[……Kaito-san…… Are you still awake?]

The source of this content is lightnovelw_or_ld . com

[……Yes . ]

As I’m savoring the feeling of time slipping away without feeling like I can sleep at all, I heard a small voice call out from behind me .

[……Don’t you think we’re wasting a little too much space?]

[……I was also thinking the same thing . ]

Currently, Sieg-san and I are lying back to back, as far away from each other as possible .

However, although it’s bigger than a normal bed, it’s not as big as a king-size bed . When we are laying down while trying to keep some distance away from each other, we can’t help but be at the edge of the bed .

This may be partly due to our personalities, but at any rate, the space in the middle of us is quite empty .

[……Should we get a bit closer?]

[……Yes . ]

I had been thinking about it, but I couldn’t just carelessly say it as it might be impolite, but thanks to Sieg-san opening up that topic herself, despite my nervousness, I was able to agree to it .

Wriggling my body to avoid looking back at her, I slightly moved towards the center of the bed .

I can hear the sound of clothing rubbing with clothes from her side . It seems like Sieg-san is moving in the same way as mine……

[ [ ! ? ] ]

However, there is no way we can make fine adjustments by moving with just our senses without looking back, and after I feel Sieg-san’s back touching with mine, both of us simultaneously flinched .

I felt my senses being awfully keen because I’m nervous, and my back feels hot even though we only slightly touched each other .

I could hear my own heart thumping loudly, and I was about to speak to distract myself from the nervousness that was boiling my body…… Before I could speak though, Sieg-san spoke .

[……Kaito-san, can I ask you something weird?]

[……Something weird? Y- Yes, I don’t mind . ]

Hearing Sieg-san’s ask me in a slightly raised voice, I nod my head and replied that I don’t mind .

Thereupon, Sieg-san stayed silent for a moment before she slowly spoke .

[……Today, you were talking about it with Father…… ummm, about my underwear……]

[Ehh? Ah, no, that was just Rei-san’s joke, okay!?]

[Fufu, I know . No, you would probably just rampage like you usually do……]

[Unnn?]

Hearing Sieg-san suddenly saying something outrageous, but it’s not like I would do anything like that, so I hurriedly explained to her .

After laughing at my reaction, which could be described as excessive, Sieg-san spoke more outrageous words .

[I don’t really understand though…… for example…… Would Kaito-san want to see me…… while I’m just wearing my underwear?]

[Wha!? S- S- Sieg-san!? W- W- What the heck are you saying!?]

[No, I was just simply wondering…… what would you feel when you see…… a woman whose chest is small and doesn’t have any glamor…… And you see, I’ve heard that men like women with big breasts……]

[………………]

Eh? What’s with these questions? Ummm, do I have to respond to this? I’m feeling so embarrassed just hearing about this……

H- Hmmm . It’s just my guess, but I think based on what she usually says and does, I think Sieg-san doesn’t have a lot of confidence in herself as a woman . So, being a man, she wanted to hear my opinion…… If that’s the case, then I should properly answer her .

[……Don’t every person have their own preferences? Of course, there are a certain number of people who like women with large breasts but…… I personally think they are attractive enough even without them being large . ]

[……For instance, what do you think about me? If Kaito-san saw me only wearing that…… w- would you, ummm, be a- aroused?]

[……I definitely would be…… I’ve said this many times, Sieg-san is an incredibly attractive woman and……to be honest, I’m still very nervous even now . ]

[……Is that the truth?]

My face was burning hot, but I honestly told her my thoughts .

Thereupon, Sieg-san tried confirming it again, sounding a bit anxious .

[Yes . I think Sieg-san should have more confidence to yourself . ]

[……Being told that I have a low estimation of myself, I don’t want to be told that by Kaito-san……]

[Ugghhh!?]

That’s a very strong counter, that I even let out a groan .

I certainly don’t have that much confidence in myself either . How should I say this… I guess you could say I’m a cowardly person at heart, and that everytime people think highly of me, I’m afraid that such compliments aren’t fitting for someone like me…… This is the only thing that I feel isn’t going to change anytime soon .

[Fufufu, but thank you . I got a bit more confident of myself . ]

[I- Is that so…… That’s good to hear . ]

[……Ahh, but, please don’t steal my underwear . ]

[I won’t steal it!!!]

I strongly refuted the words that she teasingly said .

I mean, even though I know she’s just joking, but I didn’t expect that she would really warn me of that…… What kind of person do I look like in Sieg-san’s mind……

[……I think you’re a man more fantastic than any others . ]

The source of this content is lightnovelw_or_ld . com

[Ehh? Ah, errr, t- thank you . ]

The words were spoken as if she could see through the thoughts in my mind, and I felt the heat that was supposed to have cooled down, suddenly returned back to my face…… Unnn, as expected, I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep today .

Dear Mom, Dad—— Sieg-san is a wonderful, mature woman who is kind, family-oriented, and very reliable . However, she isn’t perfect in everything, she sometimes feels anxious, unsure of herself, and has lots of traits that show she’s a human like me . And with all of these qualities she has —— I think she’s a very lovely woman .

The sweetness level is slowly rising .

Even so, Kaito’s reasoning is as tough as orichalcon…… Even though she was completely pushing herself and the flow of the atmosphere even looks like she would accept him……

Serious-senpai: [……One extremely spicy mapo tofu ramen please . ]

T/N: Not sure if I would be able to add another bonus chapter today, but I’ll try .
