The Unattainable Flower Called The Ice Queen of the School Reika Himuro Is My Pet - Chapter 17

Even Inside the Restroom

◆

“Hey, should we make our relationship public to everyone in the class soon?”

It’s been a week since I started dating Reika, and we were sneaking behind the school building after school.

“Why all of a sudden?”

Laying out a sheet on the ground, I sat down cross-legged.

Reika, as if it was the most natural thing, sat on my lap, entrusting her weight to me.

At first, I’d pointed out that she should stop, but seeing no intention from her to do so, I’d given in.

It had become quite routine for us.

Rather than me giving in, she’d countered with, “If we were just classmates, I’d understand. But what’s wrong with this if we’re a couple? Isn’t this what couples do?”

I couldn’t even come up with a rebuttal.

In short, I’m not yielding because she out-argued me, I’m yielding because I took the mature approach.

But why do girls smell so good?

It’s a dangerously intoxicating scent that makes me feel lightheaded if I’m not focused.

“It’s not sudden. I’ve been thinking about it for a while.”

“Really?”

“Yes. I’ve even been thinking about it since before we started dating. After all, I get confessed to almost every day, and turning them down is tough. But if I have a boyfriend, the number of confessions will decrease, and I can simply decline saying, ‘I have a boyfriend.’ Doesn’t that sound efficient?”

“I see… Being popular is hard. But won’t that bring trouble to me?”

“In that case, we should always move around together. Yes, even if it’s inside the restroom.”

“No, let’s draw the line at going into the restroom together.”

However, I do understand Reika’s point of view.

Considering her feelings, we probably should stop hiding our relationship.

Moreover, concealing our relationship might be disrespectful to Reika…

Wait a minute. I was basically coerced into this romantic relationship, so she should at least heed some of my wishes, right?

Isn’t it unfair otherwise?

Damn, I was almost swayed by my inner sense of justice.

“Well, I guess suddenly revealing our relationship might be too abrupt. Maybe we should gradually get used to this relationship first. To start, how about you carry this when heading home?”

Just as I was on the verge of being swept away by her persuasion, Reika pulled out a sturdy red rope from her bag and handed it to me.
