I inadvertently made the protagonist of this world my girlfriend…

Even though the story hasn’t even started yet… I never expected to be pushed so far on the day of the graduation ceremony.

I had noticed that she had some feelings for me, but I didn’t know how to handle it, so I pretended to be hard of hearing or acted dense, trying to avoid her.

However, it seemed that she had also noticed that I was pretending to be hard of hearing and dense… Women’s intuition is incredible, or maybe it’s the protagonist’s intuition… or perhaps I’m just a terrible actor…

I’m currently a high school student, living on my own at home. I’m in the same class as Hihara Karen and Kikawa Moegi, and I’m starting to make connections with them. I’m also planning to interact with Kataumi Aoi a little when I go to her town, all in order to avoid a bad ending. I don’t know if this world is part of the “story” or an “if story,” but I can’t afford to sit still.

As I was contemplating the future, the intercom rang.

She had come…

I got up from the sofa, went to the front door, and opened it. There stood… the silver-haired goddess. An aura of absolute radiance surrounded only her, making her seem otherworldly.

“I’m here.”

“Welcome….”

She smiled somewhat bashfully. She had quite a large bag with her as she entered the house, and we headed to the living room together.

She removed her duffle coat to reveal a turtleneck and a satin skirt underneath. It’s winter now, so it’s natural to wear winter clothes, but…

Oi oi…. she’s a middle school student, right? Her allure is so overwhelming that it’s making me strangely conscious of it.

Furthermore, her hairstyle had changed to something like a messy short cut… In the “story,” she has always had long hair down to her waist, and her hairstyle never changes. Is this what they call a “break from the original”?

“I’m sorry. It’s quite sudden. But since it’s winter break, I really wanted to see Senpai, who I don’t get to see often.”

“N-no need to apologize.”

“Ehehe, I’m glad to hear that. So, how do I look today?”

“Ah, uhm… I think you look great.”

It was quite cold outside, so her cheeks and nose were slightly red. And when I praised her, her cheeks turned even redder, and she grinned. I had to suppress my own grin in response to her cuteness and charm.

“Would you like some hot cocoa?”

“Is that okay?”

“Of course, please.”

“Then, I will have some.”

She sat down on the kotatsu, and I prepared the hot cocoa. Her charm is truly something else. I can’t help but become conscious of her to an abnormal degree. She has the looks and figure that wouldn’t lose to any adult. It’s poison for the eyes.

And her voice and way of speaking. Her voice is cute yet clear, resonating well in the eardrums. Her way of speaking is refined, and there’s nothing annoying about it.

Her gestures are amazing too. She tucks her hair behind her ears, warms her hands with her breath… I can’t help but want to protect her.

As I continued analyzing her, our eyes met. Perhaps I had been staring too much… I had heard that women are sensitive to such gazes and don’t appreciate them. I might have unintentionally given her some dissatisfaction.

I averted my gaze once, but then couldn’t resist looking at her again… and she was also looking at me. When our eyes met again, she winked at me.

She’s a bit sly, but it’s cute. What on earth is this otherworldly being… If I were to compare her to a marine creature, she’d be a mermaid, and I’d be a horse mackerel. That’s how much of a difference there is.

While thinking about such things, I handed her the cocoa.

“Here you go.”

“Thank you.”

Damn… she’s just so cute. Holding the cup with both hands and sipping while warming her hands… I don’t really understand what’s so cute about it, but it is!

“The cocoa you made is really delicious, Senpai.”

“T-thank you.”

She showed me something wonderful, as if a benevolent goddess were smiling at a human. It was charming and almost sucked me in, but at the same time, it was a completely unpretentious smile.

…An innocent smile is the most difficult to respond to. It’s too cute, and I can’t rely on my past experiences to come up with the best response.

After she finished her cocoa, I took the cup to the sink.

“I’m sorry. Thank you.”

“This is fine. Um, so… what should we do… after this?”

To be honest, I hadn’t thought about our plans after this. I was taken by surprise when she suddenly came to my house, and I just agreed to it.

“Just being with Senpai is enough.”

“Um, thank you… Then, I’ll turn on the TV.”

I awkwardly turned on the TV. This space was completely dominated by her. She was saying something absurd while teasing me.

At some point, she seemed to have acquired a teasing attribute.

There’s a kotatsu in front of the TV, so I also got into the kotatsu. But when I tried to enter from a different side than her, she lightly tapped the spot next to her with her hand.

“Senpai, let’s sit close together here.”

“Eh, no, that is…”

“Don’t you want to?”

She looked up at me with upturned eyes. When she does that, I absolutely have to sit there.

“Then, excuse me.”

“Fufu, please, please.”

The tearful expression she had just a while ago seems to have disappeared. She was smiling happily. Rolling around in the palm of her hand…

I sat in the spot right next to her, and she snuggled up to my arm as if seeking comfort. Her legs touched mine, and her chest pressed lightly against my arm.

I’m so happy…

B-But I’m older. Mentally, too. I need to maintain a sage-like composure here and keep my mind unified.

“We’re getting so close, ehehe. But it’s okay since we’re boyfriend and girlfriend, right?”

“Ah, yes, it’s fine.”

“Fufu, you see, it’s rare for us to have opportunities like this since we’re apart at school now. I may look like this, but I can’t see you very often, so it makes me really lonely, you know? So, Senpai, please invite me out more on weekends, okay?”

“Y-yes.”

“Great. Well then, let’s get even closer.”

She tightened her hold on me even more. The distance between us became even smaller, and I could feel her possessiveness directly.

I didn’t know she had this side to her…

And, how do I describe this. This is such a sweet development that it gives me heartburn. For regular folks, you’d need to drink something incredibly bitter like black coffee to counteract this.

Her face looked happy, but occasionally, she would shoot teasing glances at me.

Unconsciously, I watched TV with the mindset of a sage, pretending not to notice her.

A program about couples was on TV, asking men on the street about their ideal girlfriends and women about their ideal boyfriends. They were investigating the qualities of an ideal partner.

[What kind of person do you want as your girlfriend?]

[I prefer someone who dotes on me.]

[Do you want to be dominated?]

[Hmm, not really.]

While watching that, she asked me while snuggling up,

“Do I seem like the type who dotes on someone? Or the type who would dominate?”

“How should I put it…”

“Senpai, don’t worry about it. Please be honest with me.”

“Well, honestly… I think you might be the type to dominate…”

I didn’t feel like I could resist her. Her beauty and the thought of her using it made me feel like I would grant any wish.

She had asked me to be honest, so I told her the truth, but she seemed a bit displeased.

“Muu, I’m the type who dotes on someone. I’ll pamper and pamper and pamper them. I’m the ideal junior girlfriend.”

“I-I’m sorry.”

“You don’t have to apologize, but… Senpai, it seems like you don’t understand me very well, so today, I’m going to pamper you a lot…”

“A-A lot!?”

When she phrased it like that, my mind naturally went to the wrong place. The nature of men…

“Tonight, maybe I’ll give you a back massage…”

When she said that, I tilted my head in confusion. I definitely want to experience that event, but staying up late like that, wouldn’t her parents worry?

“Eh? Are you planning to stay here late tonight?”

“Eh? Didn’t I say I was staying over today?”

“Eh?”

“Eh?”

I checked her message. It said, “Can I come to your place today?” and lower down, it said, “I’m staying over tonight.” I must have missed that…

“Oh, it’s written here.”

“Yes. So… tonight, I’ll take good care of you.”

“To-to take care!?”

Her way of phrasing things was unique, and it had an alluring quality that would make any man’s heart race. Her words and gestures could easily make me feel flustered and overwhelmed.

From now on, she’s going to…

Seemingly roll me around in the palm of her hand…
