The Girl Who Sweats Easily And The Boy With Bad Posture - Chapter 83

[POV Naoyuki]

“…I knew it, she found out, didn’t she? …your Mom.”

The girl who was blushing furiously and looking down was Ichinose Mai, Naoyuki’s beloved girlfriend.

“…Y-yeah… she totally found out.”

Naoyuki picked up his cup with trembling hands and took a sip of tea.

Until just now, although they hadn’t gone all the way, they had been making love.

The fact that they secretly making love at her house for the first time had been found out by her mother. Naturally, it’s only normal to think this is bad.

“M-Mai… It’s my fault.. I-I’ll apologize.”

As Naoyuki tries to get up from the sofa, Mai stops him.

“Wait… Mom doesn’t seem mad or anything… It’s probably fine… and besides.”

“Besides…?”

“…If you apologize… then I’ll feel pathetic… idiot.”

Mai speaks her honest thoughts with a pout. Naoyuki, moved by her, softly runs his fingers through her hair.

Mai whispers, “Idiot…” and looks down once more, blushing all the way to her ears

“Hmm? What’s all the sneaky behavior about?”

As Azusa returns from the kitchen, Naoyuki hurriedly pulls away from Mai.

“N-No… i-it’s not what it looks like…”

Azusa can’t help smirking at Naoyuki’s panicked reaction.

“Mom!! Nao… Don’t tease Nao so much.”

Without missing a beat, Mai fires back at her mother Azusa.

Azusa chuckles at her daughter’s reaction.

“Fufu… You two are really so lovey-dovey… it’s just too cute.”

“N-Not really… we’re not like… lovey-dovey or anything…”

This time, it’s Mai who gets flustered.

“Hahaha… Oh, this is too funny… by the way, Asou-kun.”

“Y-Yes.”

Azusa hands a bath towel to Naoyuki.

“Take a shower while you have the chance… and fix your yukata while you’re at it.”

“Eh….?

“Don’t read too much into it… it was hot out, wasn’t it? A shower will make you feel better.”

“Thank you very much.”

As Naoyuki stands up with the towel, Azusa speaks to Mai.

“Come on, show Asou-kun to the bath… or do you want to go in with him?”

Mai turns bright red and raises her voice at her teasing mother, Azusa.

“W-W-What are you saying, Mom!! …That’s not… Nao!! Don’t just stand there spacing out… this way!”

Mai forcefully takes Naoyuki’s hand and hurries off toward the bathroom with him.

Watching them from behind, Azusa murmurs softly.

“….She’s so obviously in love… it’s painfully sweet.”

☆

“…Use my dad’s body soap and shampoo, okay… if you use mine, I’ll punch you.”

“I get it… you don’t have to get so irritated.”

“I’m not irritated at all!”

Mai had been acting overly defensive ever since her mother Azusa teased her.

As he unties his obi, Naoyuki gently speaks to Mai as if calming her down.

“But… your mom’s really nice… Mai.”

Mai is startled by those words.

Naoyuki’s family had fallen apart, and his parents were divorced.

No matter how much he wished for it, he would never speak to his mother again.

“…Nao… I’m sorry.”

“What for?”

Mai’s sudden change in attitude leaves Naoyuki confused.

“…Even though I knew your situation… I was insensitive.”

“That wasn’t true…I was glad.”

Naoyuki smiles gently back at Mai.

“…What are you saying while you’re half-naked… idiot.”

A tender atmosphere flows between the two of them.

However, that moment was short-lived.

“Mai!! Come help me over here!! …Don’t tell me you’re really getting in with him?”

Azusa’s voice calls out from the living room.

“…Jeez… it was just getting good… Mom, seriously.”

“Fufu… She really is a great mom.”

“In what way?!!”

Mai hurries off to the kitchen with quick little steps.

In the bathroom, as he turns on the shower and lets the hot water run over him, Naoyuki murmurs to himself.

“…I’m jealous.”

His tears were carried away by the running water.

Afterward, when he returned to the living room, Naoyuki got scolded by Mai.

Naoyuki had accidentally used Mai’s shampoo.
