Chapter 9.1

My heartbeat was so intense that my whole body shook with it .
Sweat began to seep into my hand as I held the pen .
I looked away from the main question and lazed my eyes around .
A white wall different from the old and dirty walls of my house .
The shiny wooden floor is covered with a firm carpet .
A wooden bed and a stuffed animal on top of it—— I’m not sure if it’s a bear or a rabbit, but it sat firmly on the shelf .
Desks, bookshelves, and closets furnished with a light shade of pink .
A round table made of expensive glass that didn’t disturb the harmony .
And Haruka, she sat in front of me, struggling with her textbook, fighting against it .
Today,
I’m in my girlfriend’s room! Haruka’s room!
How did I get blessed with such a lucky situation? It happened because of this
The reason was the bane of every student’s existence: ‘mid-term exams’
In June .
For the first week of the month, all club activities were closed to encourage students to study .
So… Haruka asked me to help her study .
I’m a special course student at Seiun High . That’s why I could help Haruka, who took the regular course, study .
And she relied on me . I was completely ready to accept her request as studying wasn’t much of a problem for me, so I agreed to it .
After school, we gathered in the library to study for the test together .
But——,
“Whaa . This place is full . ”
“I forgot that it gets crowded before the test . ”
I was too careless .
I’d started dating Haruka in the spring of this year . Before that, I was always alone and would go home right after class .
I had never used the library, so I didn’t know that it would be so crowded before exams .
And that mistake left us standing with every seat in the library already occupied .
I got lost in confusion, racking my brain to come up with a solution .
Maybe we can study in my classroom??
I was just about to ask her that but she spoke before me,
She innocently said, “Um, Hiromichi~kun? Why don’t we study in my house?”
And that’s why I’m here .
This was the first time that I entered a girl’s room, well my girlfriend’s room .
And honestly… I’m pretty nervous .
Ah! Such a sweet fragrance…
I’d never thought that a girl’s room would smell so nice .
It’s like the fluffiness of a flower, or the sweetness of candy, a lovely smell .
I had heard many people talk about the smell, but I always thought that they were just exaggerating, but now I realized that they were being truthful .
I wonder if she’s actually a fairy .
It’s probably because of her shampoo .
I’m not sure if these sisters are using the same product, but this scent felt quite familiar to me .
Shigure…
Ah! I don’t wanna remember…
Anyway, what’s important is that this sweet smell is that it’s my lover’s scent, just staying close to her makes me happy .
And now I’m inside a room full of this lovely fragrance .
Ahh… it’s too much happiness for me to handle .
I’m so happy that I feel like my heart is about to melt .
I wonder how much sugar I’ve inhaled just by being here .
Huh? Am I a pervert? No, no, no, wait .
It’s not my fault, I had no choice . It’s my body that just reacted, I guess it must be natural .
Just like nature-loving people would take a deep breath when they smell the fresh scent of grass, right?
I love Haruka . So it’s natural that I would want to smell her .
Don’t you see that it can’t be helped?
Then, excuse me——,
“Hm? Hiromichi-kun . ”
“Gefu-Cough!”
[#gefu sfx means burp/blech]
“Did anything happen? Did you catch a cold?”
“No, it’s just a little spit in my windpipe . I’m fine . Well then…what is it?”
“Here . In the English translation, why can’t you just say [take]?”
“Oh, Ah, that’s the opposite direction . In this case, it’s [bring] . ”
Ah! That was dangerous .
A cold sweat rushed out of my back and drenched it .
I think my nostrils might have doubled in size .
A boyfriend who intensely sniffs his girlfriend’s room is definitely a no-go guy .
I can’t show her this side of mine .
Apparently, I was getting too high because of this scent .
Stop being an idiot and focus…
But, well… It’s really difficult for me to concentrate .
Yup .
Because for the first time in my life, I’ve entered a girl’s room . And she’s even my girlfriend .

This is Haruka’s private space, where she lives, works, bathes, and sleeps .
She invited me to a place like that .
Please, I shouldn’t be thinking about stuff like that .
Agrh!
Translate what Bob, Nancy, and Taro are saying?
Dammit!
Let’s look at it from a different perspective .
It’s okay if I can’t concentrate .
I know that I have to study . But there’s one thing I need to confirm first .
To find out if this invitation is a signal from Haruka… or not!
Experts say that when a girl wants to progress her relationship, she tries to make physical contact . She will try to pamper you and emit various love signals .
Our relationship took a very big step forward during this time, we even held hands while walking back from school .
But the invitation to her home…
Could this be her trying to signal that she wants to get closer?
Of course, it’s also possible that she’s just relying on me, a special student, and that inviting someone to her room isn’t a big deal for her if it’s someone she trusts— me .
If Haruka doesn’t want to and I still try, then…
“~~~~”
No——,
That’s absolutely not good . I’ll die .
Hence, I can reach the conclusion that there is no conclusion and we need further proof to decide .
Is it a signal or not?
I have to carefully observe Haruka to find out what she wants .
“Thank you, Hiromichi-kun! This is the first time I’ve ever managed to do my homework so easily!”
“Oh, I see . I’m glad that I could help you . ”
“I’m such a lucky girl to have a reliable boyfriend like you . Ah, your cup is empty .
I’ll bring some more juice . ”
“Ohh, Thank you . ”
Haruka stood up and left the room to get it .
The moment I saw her leave, I tucked my head between my hands .
“I don’t get it”
I’ve been carefully observing Haruka without sparing any effort, but I still can’t understand what she’s trying to say… or if she’s even trying to say anything at all .
Speaking of which I obtained some special intel…
Haruka’s eyelashes are long and beautiful .
She would always let out a small sigh whenever she faced a problem, and honestly, it’s a bit erotic .
She looks so cute when she gives an embarrassed smile whenever our eyes meet .
The answer that I came up with is that my girlfriend is super cute .
I wanted to know that the signal is something that I can detect in the first place?
Maybe this is why I’m still a virgin despite being 17 years old .

To defeat monster A, you need an item called B, and B only gets dropped if you defeat monster A .
I don’t like the thought that the item will be dropped by A . I don’t like it .
I’m not sure if this is a good idea or not .
“I’ll sit tight and study quietly . ”
“~Meow~“
“Hm?”
What’s that strange voice?
I looked in its direction, at the door which was left open . A black and white mix cat was peeking from the door .
[#monochrome?]
Ah I remember, she had told me that she owned a cat .
“Hey Haruka . What’s the name of your cat?”
“Hmm? Did Maro go that way?”
“It’s staring at me . So you’re Maro . ”
“Well, there’s a cute spot on his forehead . ”
[#TN: プチが麻呂っぽい]
“So that’s why his name is Maro . ”
It’s a good name .
There were two fuzzy spots on his forehead right above his eyes .
I liked both dogs and cats, but I’m more of a cat person .
Dogs are too loyal for me, and I feel sorry for them .
In that respect, cats are fun and playful because they’re mischievous .
“Chitty-chitty”
“Meoww~“
I clicked my tongue and beckoned him, while Maro slithered through the door into the room .
He’s a big cat, maybe twice the size of an ordinary stray cat around here .
Maro came straight to me and climbed onto my lap .
Oh, he’s heavy…!
“Awww, such a big kitty . ”
Stroking his narrow forehead makes him rumble .
He must be pampered by everyone in the house .
It’s very friendly .
“Huh”
As I was petting Maro, I noticed something caught in his hind legs .
When he was coming here, I didn’t see it because it was behind its huge body, but what is this?
A tissue?
I felt sorry for him, so I took it off .
It was a cloth that was stuck to him .
It was very soft and felt quite pleasant to the touch . I’ve never touched something like it before .
The white surface is shiny, with a few ribbons and triangles, wa… wait isn’t this a woman’s Pa!

“Heck——”
I was about to scream .
My blood pressure shot up and my ears turned beet red .
I’m pretty sure that it’s a girl’s underwear . I know about it because it was just a few days earlier that Shigure made a show of her underwear .
This is a women’s only house . So there is a 100% chance that it must be… Haruka’s… .
What have you done Maro?
“Maro is big, right? When I first found him, he was skinny, but then he gained weight because my dad pampered him . Fat cats are cute too, don’t you think so?”
“Oh, yeah, sure . I like fat cats better, too, I guess . ”
Round and cute . but this bastard…
Shit, this is not good . Haruka’s getting closer .
My whole body is drenched in sweat .
What should I do?
Her underwear was in my hands . If she saw me like this, it would create a new misunderstanding .
But if I throw it on the floor, how would I explain the situation to her?
A cat brought it?
It’s painful! It’s true, but that explanation is probably useless, HIROMICHI…!
I was dumbfounded…
But the situation doesn’t wait for my confusion to settle down .
While I was wondering, Haruka came back into the room .
“Sorry I’m late . Hha . You can’t just sit there like that, Maro! Come on . You shouldn’t trouble Hiromichi-kun, so come here . ”
“Ma~u…”
“Ah . Look he just yawned . Maybe he likes you . If you’re uncomfortable, you can force him out . ”
“No, no, it’s not like that . I like cats, it’s okay . ”
“Yeah? Good for you, Maro . ”
Haruka giggled a bit and stroked Maro’s head on my lap .
… You don’t know about the true nature of this chubby little devil .
Well, I hid her underwear in my pocket on the spur of the moment, but I’ve begun to regret that decision .
This is a serious crime of underwear theft .
I think I’m in some serious trouble… because this dangerous item is a time bomb, one that could destroy our relationship in an instant .
I have to dispose of it as soon as possible while also making sure that Haruka doesn’t find it .
But how?
Should I hide it in this room? It’s possible .
But this panty was brought from the outside . For example, if it was used yesterday then she might remember that it wasn’t from this room .
Not only that, but it’s a pity to hide it in a place where it’ll never be found… Like behind the wardrobe, or bringing it home is out of the question .
I desperately racked my mind, using every bit of brain I could find .
What’s the best choice?
While searching for the answer, Haruka asked,
“Hiromichi-kun? Is it hot in this room?”
“What? Why? No it’s not… nope . ”
“Because you’re sweating a lot . ”
