Chapter 68: Waking Up During Lunch Break

Original: Chapter 68: Waking Up During Lunch Break

Zzz… Zzz… Zzz…

That’s my snoring. I’m completely passed out at my desk during lunch break.

Since my hair is long, I can completely hide my face. As a girl in the bloom of youth, I don’t want to show my sleeping face, so I’m really glad my hair is long.

Recalling the taste of the shrimp cutlet burger and apple pie I had for lunch, I melted deeper into the world of dreams. Both were so delicious.

…… …… ……

“Hey… you there? Could you wake up? Whoa, you’re totally out. It’s pretty rare to see a girl sleeping this soundly in the classroom, isn’t it?”

Huh? Is someone talking to me?

But it’s a voice I don’t know, and I don’t think they’re talking to me. I start to drift back into the dream world—

“Miss Chiyusaki, you have a visitor.”

Huh? That’s Miss Tobisaki’s voice.

“Hey, Miss Chiyusakiii. Wake up a little.”

Is my name being called?

“…Huh?”

I lifted my head. Ah, I drooled. As I hurriedly tried to wipe it, the woman in front of me wiped the corner of my mouth for me. It was a handkerchief that smelled really nice.

“Sorry for waking you.”

“…Hwaah.”

What? What? What’s going on? I wake up and there’s an angel descended right before my eyes.

“Senior, I’ll leave it to you then.”

“Okay. Thanks for waking her up.”

Miss Tobisaki smiled and went back to her seat. So she was one of the voices I heard.

I take another look at the angelic woman in front of me. Ah, I get it. It’s that senior I met in the Dungeon yesterday. I think she’s the senior everyone says is the prettiest in school…

Yesterday she was in a tattered state, but seeing her healthy like this, I thought she was even more beautiful.

Her hair is half-up, and the color is bright. Her wide-open eyes are as clear as a southern sea, and her lips have an enviably vivid color. Her cheeks are faintly pink and cute.

Her body balance is so well-proportioned that it’s clearly discernible even hidden by her school uniform. Probably the kind of figure boys would go crazy over. The right places are prominent, and her waist is perfectly defined. Her legs are long and shapely too.

I thought she was like the textbook example of a beauty.

“I’m not sure I understand,”

Hm? The senior tilted her head with that expression.

“I think you must have the wrong person.”

There’s no way someone this beautiful would talk to a plain girl like me, drawn straight from a picture of mediocrity. With that thought, I was about to dive back into my happy dream world—

I tried, but I was stopped as both my shoulders were firmly grabbed.

“Waaait a minute. It is you, right? My lifesaver who helped me yesterday.”

“My lifesaver…”

“I wouldn’t mistake the person I shared my first kiss with.”

First kiss—. I had forgotten, but now I remembered. Suddenly feeling embarrassed, my face rapidly grew hot.

“Hahahaha, you’re blushing, so cute~”

“Hyaa… S-senior, did you come all this way to see someone like me?”

“Yep. I knew the person I shared my first kiss with was a junior. I peeked into classrooms starting from Class 1 to look for you.”

“…And you managed to find me? Even though I was sleeping with my face hidden by my hair.”

“You know, the person who took your first… you can clearly recognize them the moment they enter your vision.”

“Haa…”

I look at the senior’s lips. They looked plump and cute.

I took those lips yesterday. I realize now what an incredible thing I did. I’ll cherish this memory for life. Something this miraculous probably won’t happen twice.

“Wanna do it again?”

She noticed my gaze. The senior placed her index finger on her lips and made a bewitching expression with her eyes.

“Fwaaaaaah~…”

It’s the kind of expression boys would probably like. I might like it too… But it’s embarrassing to look at.

“Ahaha, you’re getting shy again. So pure~. Oh, what’s your name?”

“It’s Chiyusaki Sayuki.”

“Little Sayuki, huh? I’m

Shirogane Himeka.

Nice to meet you.”

“N-nice to meet you too.”

“Alright, let’s exchange contact info~”

Senior Shirogane took out a smartphone that was decorated to an extreme. Looking closely, I see she’s done her nails stylishly with manicure. Her level of style is different from mine. This is what a real girl in the bloom of youth feels like, I thought.

For reference, my smartphone has a plain cover, and I haven’t done anything to my nails. So I’m probably not a real girl in the bloom of youth, but a wannabe high school girl…

“Here, I’ve pulled up my QR code.”

“QR code?”

“Huh? You don’t know? If you scan the QR code with your camera, you can add me as a friend.”

Senior Shirogane came around to my side.

She smelled incredibly good, to the point I felt my brain might melt. If I were a boy, I’d probably be head over heels in an instant.

“You do this, and then this—”

Senior Shirogane operated my smartphone for me.

“Ah, it looks like you’ll find out I only have my dad and mom registered…”

“Ahahaha, you said it out loud. Little Sayuki is funny.”

True. I might be an idiot. But it can’t be helped. The overwhelmingly most beautiful person in my personal history is right next to me. I can’t help but be over the moon.

“There, registration complete. I’m Little Sayuki’s number one friend. I’m so happy.”

“F-friend…?”

“Yep. We’re friends now. So, to commemorate becoming friends. After school today, come to the Dungeon with me!”

“…Huh?”

“It’s a promise with your big sis, okay?”

“…Eh?”

“Well, the chime is about to ring, so I’m heading back to my classroom. See you after school~”

Senior Shirogane waved with a smile and left.

Ah, she stopped right at the door. I think she looked back and showed me her best smile.

“Thank you so much for yesterday. Little Sayuki is my hero. You were super cool!”

Senior Shirogane disappeared beyond the door.

My heart is pounding. I was just talking with that beautiful senior. Even though it’s clearly etched in my memory, it feels completely unreal. She was really beautiful, like an angel.

“Hwaah…”

I finally made the friend I’ve always wanted… So this is how easily you can make friends. I feel like I’m floating.

Miss Tobisaki is coming over with high energy.

“Hey, hey, hey, Miss Chiyusaki. How did you get so close with Senior Shirogane? I’m so jealous.”

Apparently, Miss Tobisaki is a huge fan of Senior Shirogane, the prettiest girl in school. When I summarized what happened yesterday, she listened with shining eyes until the very end. Moreover, our conversation got pretty lively.

How many years has it been since I got this excited talking with a classmate in the classroom? I felt like today turned into a really, really good day.
