My Classmate Whom I Helped Seems to Be Mentally Sick, So I've Been Trying My Best to Hide My True Identity, But It Seems Like I've Been Found Out - Chapter 31

This is Reality

” …… ”

I can faintly hear the sound of the shower through the wall.

Right now while I’m in this room, Sumire Murasaki is washing her body.

Just imagining that makes it seem like my reason might easily fly away, but I grit my teeth and endure.

But there’s a limit to enduring.

However, I can’t take any actions beyond that.

If, by chance, I try to leave the room and run into her after her bath…

I might see her naked.

But then, my future would be bleak.

I can’t risk ruining my life for a fleeting chance at one lucky-pervert moment.

I can’t commit such a risky act, but there’s also no guarantee that staying here will keep me safe.

What if Sumire Murasaki comes out of the bath wearing nothing, trying to seduce me?

Then, it’s over.

Doing nothing here is also a high risk.

‘It is better to regret after doing something than regret without doing anything.’

Those were the words my late grandfather once taught me.

Gather your courage.

If I can leave this room safely, at least I’ll be guaranteed safety for today.

“…Alright.”

I’ve decided to escape from this room.

The sooner, the better.

If I hesitate and Sumire Murasaki comes out of the bath, it’ll be the end.

” …… ”

I held my breath and stepped out of the room.

Then, the hallway.

Along the side of the corridor, there’s a kitchen, toilet, and bathroom.

The entrance shouldn’t be that far away, yet the door seemed to be so distant.

But I can’t let that intimidate me.

I still want a tomorrow.

“Hey, Takizawa-kun, what are you doing there?”

Just as I was about to step further into the corridor, a cute voice echoed from the bathroom.

“Ah…”

“Hehe, are you going out to buy something? Or did you forget something? Oh, were you trying to peek at me in the bath? That’s not good, you know, peeking at a friend’s bath. Hey, what are you doing there?”

Her voice, amplified by the echo, resounded in the hallway.

Quietly, I retreated.

“…I was just thinking of using the toilet.”

“Oh, sorry, sorry. I’ll be out soon, can you wait? I mean, even if we’re friends, I’d be embarrassed if you saw me naked…”

“Y-Yeah, I get it.”

I slowly closed the door and tilted my head in thought.

I didn’t make any noise, so how did she know I was trying to leave the room?

Could there be a surveillance camera…?

No, it wouldn’t make sense for her to have one in her own room, and my visit here today was spontaneous.

It’s an improbable precaution.

But in any case, I can’t leave the room.

Continuing on recklessly is an option, but if I were to be stopped by her in her naked state, it would be more than just a major incident.

The risk is too high now that I’ve been caught.

…What should I do?

♡

“Hmm-hmm-mmhm”

I can see him clearly.

His figure is visible on the bathroom monitor.

Originally, it was security equipment.

I always wondered what the point was of checking the room’s situation while I was in the bath.

But this is how it’s used, huh?

Hehe, it seems like he’s returned to the room properly.

Well then.

I’ve cleansed my body.

I’ve also changed into a new underwear.

I wonder if tonight will be a long one?

“Just so you know, Auntie gave me permission for Takizawa to stay out overnight..”
