The Unattainable Flower Called The Ice Queen of the School Reika Himuro Is My Pet - Chapter 15

What kind of guy am I…

“Stupid! Who would want to touch that?!”

And at that moment, I deeply regretted my rash words, as if a petty pride had stopped me from saying otherwise.

It’s a lie that I didn’t want to touch. To be honest, I really wanted to.

I wanted to fully savor the softness that I felt on my arm with these hands.

If only I had been a bit more honest, I could have touched…

No, what kind of guy am I…

“Oh, are you crying?”

“I’m not crying. It’s just the rain.”

“Hmm. Well, let’s just say it is.”

Yes, no matter what anyone says, I am not crying.

Moreover, isn’t it great just to feel this softness on my arm?

Maybe humans are creatures that, even if they think something is ‘good enough,’ once they have it, they’ll always want more.

That’s why I think it’s a big deal that I was able to hold back my desires because of my petty pride (otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to stand it).

“If you want to touch that badly, you should…This also means it’s working, right?”

Reika whispered something so softly that I couldn’t hear it.

But I assumed that if she wanted me to hear, she would speak louder.

So I didn’t ask her to repeat herself.

Doing so would be insensitive, and I consider myself a thoughtful guy.

With these thoughts, as I walked to the bus stop with Reika, she suddenly let go of my arm.

“Sorry, but I guess this is where I’ll stop.”

“…Huh?”

“I said I would tell everyone we’re dating, but that was a lie. I don’t want to do anything that my beloved ‘Master’ dislikes.”

And with that, the happiness that was on my arm disappeared thanks to Reika, .

Yes, this is the proper distance between Reika and me.

Our relationship, in reality, shouldn’t exist.

As Reika and I sat apart on the bus, the days of our usual school life passed as if the idea of Himuro Reika being my girlfriend was nothing but a dream.

After school, as I was about to head home with my childhood friend and best buddy, Keisuke Tojo, a notification sound rang from my smartphone.

When I checked it, there was a message saying, 【I felt like I was embraced by Master all day and my heart was racing non-stop!】 along with an image attached.

The image showed Reika in the girls’ restroom, lifting up her skirt, revealing the shorts she presumably wore that day.

Surprisingly, it showed Reika wearing my boxer shorts.
