The Girl Who Sweats Easily And The Boy With Bad Posture - Chapter 73

It was a disaster.

Even without anything else, I’m already sensitive to the scent of sweat after we have s3x…

Today, it even involved pee…

Naoyuki didn’t show a single unpleasant expression as he put the sheets in the washing machine and wiped the floor with a rag.

As the afterglow of s3x faded, and I returned to reality, I felt miserable.

“Nao… I’m… sorry.”

“Why?”

Even though he does such forceful acts during s3x, sometimes I can’t understand how he gives me such a bright smile.

“I mean… a girl who pees herself like this… is a turn-off, right?”

When I said it with my eyes downcast, he let out a small sigh.

“Mai… you’re not underestimating me, are you?”

“Eh?”

“I told you before, but I want you to stay just the way you are, Mai… I want you to be the special Mai that only I get to see.”

He definitely said that, but…

“But…”

“It’s not ‘but,’ Mai… you always call me things like ‘idiot, pervert, horny,’ right?”

I couldn’t say anything back.

But my chest was warm.

Is someone like me deserving of him, who embraces all my insecurities?

At that moment, a gust of wind blew through the window.

It felt as though all the unpleasant smells and feelings were being carried away by the wind.

“Mai… once we’re done with the cleaning, let’s go out. I promised I’d treat you to a meal.”

Seeing Naoyuki’s smile, I couldn’t help but smile too.

“… Idiot Nao.”

☆

“Nao, let’s go over there next.”

“Mai, you’re eating too much.”

“It’s fine, Nao’s treating me anyway.”

The area around the plaza looked like a food stall village, with various foods lined up everywhere.

While munching on a cheese hot dog, I tightly held Naoyuki’s hand.

“You sure can eat a lot.”

“It’s because my stupid boyfriend makes me use up all my energy, right?”

I wonder if it’s alright to act this lovey-dovey in public?

As I was thinking that…

“Huh? Is that you, Mai?”

I heard a voice from behind and turned around to find my friend, Yotsuya Chizuru, standing there.

“Chizuru! What’s wrong?”

“It’s not ‘what’s wrong,’ Mai… Were you on a date or something?”

Chizuru kept glancing at Nao.

“Y-yeah… What about you, Chizuru?”

At my question, Chizuru seemed somewhat irritated.

“Yuuya’s such an idiot… He said we were going to see fireworks today, but then he scheduled a shift at work… It’s the worst!”

“Ah, I see… Does that mean tonight as well?”

“Well, he did say we could meet up at night.”

It’s a good thing you can watch the fireworks together.

Even so, Chizuru must have wanted to be with her boyfriend…

I think I can understand that feeling.

“…Mai, um.”

Naoyuki whispered to me in a slightly apologetic tone, so I introduced him to Chizuru.

Then, as if following a template, Chizuru blurted out something unnecessary.

“Ah, this is my friend, Yotsuya Chizuru.”

“Heeey, I’m Chizuru Yotsuya, one of the few friends Mai has!”

“…Don’t say ‘few.'”

He was left behind, looking puzzled.

“Nao, sorry… I just moved the conversation along.”

“No… it’s fine… um… Yotsuya… san? …I’m…”

“You’re Naoyuki, right?”

Naoyuki was completely thrown off by Chizuru’s pace.

It seems he’s not good with the pushy type after all.

Then Chizuru grabbed my arm and pulled me forcefully.

“W-What is it?”

“Did your tastes change? He seem so innocent, like a virgin… oh wait, that’s probably different since you’ve been together.”

I felt irritated by Chizuru’s comments, but to an outsider who doesn’t know him, that might be how it appears.

Before we ended up in this kind of relationship, I thought the same way too.

“My tastes haven’t changed… it’s just.”

“Just?”

“I feel like I was an idiot.”

I was judging people only from the surface. And I was forcing my own feelings on others.

That’s how everything turned out the way it did.

I smiled and answered Chizuru.

“…Only I can truly understand Nao’s good qualities.”

At that, Chizuru started laughing loudly.

“Ahahaha… wait, wait… hahahaha… what’s that? You’re totally living the perfect life, huh… hahaha, this is too funny.”

Naoyuki was also blushing, his face bright red as he looked down.

Did I say something weird?

“Huh? Huh?… Why?”

Chizuru patted my shoulder gently as I was puzzled.

“Okay, okay, I get it… You really lose sight of everything when you get too into something, don’t you, Mai… But even so… Nao-kun, please take care of Mai.”

“W-Why are you saying that?”

Chizuru laughed so hard that tears came from the corners of her long, sharp eyes, and Naoyuki couldn’t help but laugh too.
