Chapter 78
Sleepover for Just the Two of Us
“Sorry to keep you waiting~”
“Ah… huh!?”
“Well then… let’s study together.”
Her chestnut hair was well-kept and shinier than before. It looked so smooth that I couldn’t help but want to run my hands through it—exactly my type.
Even though it was December, her legs were completely bare, showing flawless, white skin. That pale skin extended over her knees and thighs, and with her ultra-mini skirt, I couldn’t help but feel like I might see more than I should if she moved even slightly.
Her top was long-sleeved, but the cut of the shirt was loose at the chest, and even a slight lean made it feel like it could reveal something. The combination was… dangerous. Any guy would notice, and it certainly wasn’t something she should be showing me.
Tsukiyo sat next to me. Maybe it was the post-bath glow, but she looked twice as cute as usual. And more than anything, I didn’t know where to look.
“Oh, right! Let’s also call Mizusato-san next door and study together, the three of us.”
“Mizusato-chan is with Kasumi-senpai and Kanaha today. She’s not at home.”
Damn it! Why isn’t she here at a time like this? Other options… ah, right.
“Studying together… Tsukiyo, you’re a first-year, right? The range is different, so it might not be meaningful.”
“Really? Then show me.”
I showed Tsukiyo the test range. She flipped through her math textbook at hand and wrote equations in her notebook… and got all of them correct.
“Whether you’re first-year or second-year, the basics were already covered in elementary and middle school. It’s easy.”
Right. The Kaminagi siblings were a kind of genius. They scored full marks in every subject on every test. Truly insane. I shouldn’t have underestimated someone a year younger.
“Well then… I guess I’ll learn from you.”
I had some pride not to be taught by someone younger, but I couldn’t afford to drop my grades either. I was about to receive her teaching when…
“Oh, I dropped my eraser.”
Tsukiyo bent down to pick it up… and my eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of her sky-blue underwear from her chest area… But I mustn’t look!
I turned my gaze down… only to catch a faint glimpse of blue in the dark area between her white thighs.
“Ughhhhhhh!”
“Huh!?”
How could I concentrate?! I’m just a normal second-year high school boy. My best friend might joke about it, but yes, I have it!
How many times a day with the girl in front of me… enough! I just couldn’t focus.
“Tsukiyo… let’s take a break.”
“We’ve just started… Well then, shall we use our knees?”
Yeah… to enjoy those pure white thighs again…
“I can’t… I can’t hold it anymore… hey—!”
“Kyah!”
At the same time as my complaint, a flash of light filled the window, followed by a deafening sound.
All the lights in the house went out. Looks like a blackout. That was close.
Tsukiyo quickly pulled out her smartphone and found a flashlight. True to form, she was fast, and headed straight to the breaker near the entrance.
“It doesn’t seem like the power isn’t coming.”
“Looks like the breaker tripped from lightning. You okay?”
Tsukiyo flipped the breaker switch. The house seemed to have one main breaker and three smaller ones.
The main breaker was fine… but two out of the three smaller ones were dead.
“The living room and kitchen circuits are down…”
Good thing it happened after dinner. But the fridge… well, it’s winter, so maybe it’s okay.
“Maybe a fuse blew. Which parts are still working?”
“The toilet… and my room.”
Thank goodness the toilet works. Looks like we’ll have to fix it tomorrow morning. Considering this rundown apartment, other houses are probably out too.
Tsukiyo fidgeted with the flashlight.
“Then… do you want to come to my room?”
…That can’t possibly end well.
