I, Who Have Been Tasked With Taking Care of the Beautiful Young Lady of the Class, Am Troubled by the Heavy Affection Directed Towards Me

Upon seeing my unhealthy face early in the morning, Ren let out a loud scream.

“Y-You think it suits me? It’s zombie makeup.” I lied through my teeth.

“It’s still too early for Halloween! You didn’t contact me yesterday, what happened!?”

I didn’t send my impressions in a message yesterday because I didn’t want to tell Ren that my workplace is Shiratori-san’s house. If I couldn’t say it through a message, it would be impossible to say it even if we met face to face.

“…”

“Ah! I got it! We’re best friends, we can understand each other without words! Ayato… You found a beautiful person at your workplace, but you’re hesitating whether to pursue them or not, right?”

It’s true that both Shiratori-san and her attendant were beautiful people, so it’s not completely off, but the reason he’s worrying about is completely off the mark.

“No, I wouldn’t lose sleep over something like that.”

“Are you okay? Should I send you to the infirmary?”

“If I go to the infirmary early in the morning, the teacher will think I didn’t come to school. I’ll attend classes properly for now.”

I sat down at my desk and decided to take a nap by placing my head on the desk and blocking the light with my arm.

“Don’t talk to me for a while.”

“Are you sure… Well, if that’s the case, I’ll go buy some coffee from the vending machine for you!”

Since my eyes were closed, I couldn’t see him running away, but I could clearly hear Ren’s footsteps running far away.

Was he planning to wake me up forcefully by bringing me coffee while I’m drowsy? When I said I would attend classes properly and resist sleepiness, I thought he might insist a little. Oh, well.

I had that thought run in my head before I closed my eyes for a short nap. Two minutes later, I was woken up by the sound of footsteps approaching me.

Has Ren already returned? When I raised my head, there was Shiratori-san’s face in front of me.

“Shiratori-san…?”

“Y-You said we would talk during the break yesterday, didn’t you? Kimi-kun! What’s wrong with your face!?”

Shiratori-san was also surprised when she saw my face.

“A-Actually, I haven’t slept at all.”

“You haven’t slept at all? Why!?”

I was worried about the live-in job, and I thought that it would be okay to move since I don’t have any attachment to my current house. But I felt bad about bringing Ren to Shiratori-san’s house if we decided to hang around at any time, and if I didn’t take the job, it would mean that the time I spent yesterday was meaningless, so I couldn’t sleep because of that.

“You could have talked to me while deciding! But it’s good that you’re worrying so much that you can’t sleep…”

“Did you say something?” I heard her mumble a few words but I couldn’t catch them.

“N-Nothing… Anyway, if things continue like this, it will be tough for you to go home today. How about coming to my house? I will give you a ride and you can experience what it’s like to live there for one day.”

Living-in experience… I see, I didn’t have the idea to try it out for just one day even though I had been thinking about it so much. It’s important to actually take action to see if various problems occur.

“Alright, I understand. Then please.”

“Yes! But first, when we get to my house, you have to start with finding a place to sleep. From now on, you must sleep properly. Sleep is important…”

“Ayato, are you awake? I brought coffee… Oh, Shiratori-san!? Why are you here!?”

I looked at Ren, who came running with two cups of coffee, and… Oh no, he saw me talking to Shiratori-san

“Ren, it’s….”

“W-What the hell! Shiratori-san!? What’s wrong with your eyes!?”

“Huh? What do you mean? Don’t say weird things.”

“No, no, no, it’s not about being delicate… Don’t you think your eyes, which usually shine so brightly, look darker than usual!?”

“Don’t you know the meaning of tact? How can you say something like that?”

“It’s not about ta-tact… Sorry, Ayato. I was thinking of chatting with you while drinking coffee, but it seems like bad timing, so let’s do it later. I-I’ll give the coffee to both of you, so just have a nice conversation… Well, see you!”

Ren handed us the coffee and then ran out of the classroom.

…Ren seems to be having a tough time, going back and forth like this since morning.

“I’m glad you’re gone early today… Coffee, I don’t need it… Wait, it’s the same coffee as Ayato’s!?”

Shiratori-san turned her back to me and started muttering something.

“Drinking the same coffee as Kimi-kun means experiencing the same taste as Ayato, smelling the same scent as Kimi-kun, feeling the same heat as Kimi-kun… which means sharing the five senses with Kimi-kun!?”

“Um, Shiratori-san?”

“W-What should I do… I can’t stay calm if something like that happens… K-Kimi-kun! How about we drink this coffee together at my house? Is that okay?” Shiratori-san turned back to me with a greedy look and said that.

“U-Understood.”

I gave in to that mysterious momentum and agreed to her suggestion… and before I knew it, the school day passed.

While my body was longing for sleep, I managed to stay awake until I arrived at Swan-san’s house. Once I entered her room, she let me borrow her bed, so I changed into the pyjamas I had brought in case I chose to stay overnight. I slept for about three hours on that bed.

It feels really comfortable, and Swan-san’s fragrance lingeried on the sheets and air.

As my mind was enveloped in drowsiness, I fell into a deep sleep for three hours. I then woke up and decided to sleep for another thirty minutes.

“Kimi-kun, open wide… Is it delicious?”

…How did it end up like this!?
