It's a romantic comedy for everyone, so why am I the only one single?

Chapter 50 Mashiro's Waiting

It has to be said, girls can be really strange sometimes.

Even though she was incredibly shy, she still insisted that the boy do those embarrassing things, like feeding her.

Despite feeling unwell, Kitagawa Kaimu messaged Sugaya Noha early in the morning, asking her to ask her teacher for a morning off.

But I should be able to eat breakfast by myself, right?

Kaimu Kitagawa was incredibly shy, yet she still begged to be fed in a spoiled manner.

This left Hideaki Iura somewhat speechless, both amused and exasperated.

The problem is that their breakfast consisted of discounted sandwiches they bought at the supermarket last night. How are we going to feed them that? Should we break them into pieces?

"I don't care~"

Their eyes met, and seeing Iura Hide's face contorted with black lines and his lips twitching as if he had seen a ghost, Kitagawa Kaimu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Don't you like it, senpai? Noha is always like this~"

Kitagawa Kaimu tilted her head, looked at him, and finally couldn't help but ask the question.

"It's not what you think."

Iura Hide was taken aback for a moment, then gave a wry smile and offered his prepared explanation: "Actually, I just wanted to learn more about you through her, but my friend misunderstood."

"So this is ah!"

Contrary to what Iura Hide had feared, Kitagawa Kaimu did not show any suspicion or dissatisfaction; instead, she revealed a happy smile that said, "I knew it."

"Then why not Ryune and Oozora?"

"this."

Iura Hide rubbed his nose a little embarrassedly.

In the eyes of guys, compared to glamorous girls, a lively and cute sweet girl like Sugaya Noa is obviously more reliable, right?

However, this reason is obviously not easy to say, after all, Kitagawa Kaimu is considered a gyaru (a type of sexy girl).

Fortunately, Kitagawa Kaimu probably guessed what he was thinking and didn't press the matter further.

As compensation for making her nervous and worried, the song "I Really Want to Tell You" can only be sung to her alone from now on.

Iura Hide smiled and readily agreed.

He even planned to go to the recording studio when he had time to record an even better version as a gift for Kitagawa Kaimu.

"Then I'll head out now."

"Ah."

Although he wished he could be together every minute of every day, because he had to go to school, Iura Shu had to clean up the dishes and trash after breakfast and prepare to leave.

"By the way, are you going to pick up Mashiro-kun to go to school with me, senpai?"

"Uh, yes, after all, I promised the teacher I would take care of her for the time being."

Iura Hide was surprised that Kitagawa Kaimu would suddenly bring up Mashiro, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

However, Kitagawa Kaimu didn't show any sign of mind. She finally crawled out of bed, her snow-white body, completely naked, like a siren quietly emerging from the sea under the moonlight, nestled into Iura Hide's arms with breathtaking beauty, quickly opened her arms to hug his neck, and kissed him on the lips.

Before Iura Hide could put down what he was holding and retaliate, he grinned mischievously and crawled back into bed.

"If you want to come back soon, senpai, Shizuku-chan is waiting for senpai to pamper her tonight."

At this moment, Iura Hide finally understood what it meant to have a girlfriend you love.

Even though he had fought four or five rounds of battles last night, and was almost unable to walk without support when he got up this morning, he still couldn't help but feel a small flame rising in his body, and he almost picked up his phone to ask Yuri Nikaido for leave.

However, considering Nikaido Yuri's responsible approach of always asking her parents before asking for leave, he reluctantly gave up the idea.

Taking a deep breath, Iura Hide forcefully suppressed the agitation in his heart and suddenly revealed a serious expression.

"If you want to make cosplay outfits in the future, either make them yourself or hire a professional female designer. You absolutely cannot hire other guys!"

"Eh?"

"Anyway, that's it, I'm off!"

The abrupt and seemingly unrelated sentence made Kitagawa Kaimu scratch her forehead, feeling somewhat bewildered.

However, after thinking for a moment, she roughly understood what Iura Hide meant. Watching Iura Hide's retreating figure, she couldn't help but chuckle, her eyes curving into two crescent moons.

"So, my senior is quite jealous!"

Kitagawa Kaimu muttered to herself, not feeling that there was anything wrong with it. On the contrary, she felt quite pleased with herself. After all, being jealous also meant that she liked and cared about someone, right?

"How about we skip this afternoon?"

"It seems like we have a physical education class and a health class this afternoon."

"In that case, it's okay if I don't ask for leave, right?"

After stretching vigorously, Kitagawa Kaimu crawled back into bed, inhaling the lingering scent of her beloved on her pillow, and soon drifted off to sleep with a sweet and contented smile on her face.

There's nothing I can do about it; it's my first time, after all.

Even though Iura Hide was very gentle, he still managed to exhaust her by keeping her up until after 2 a.m.

If she hadn't wanted to have breakfast with Iura Hide, she could have slept until at least the afternoon.

On the other side, Iura Hide, who had just stepped out of the apartment building, looked at the clean street in front of him, the cars and pedestrians rushing by, and the cherry blossom petals falling softly by the roadside, and finally relaxed.

All the embarrassment, tension, and shame, along with the restless atmosphere, faded away, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

"I never expected to find a girlfriend so quickly, especially such a stunning beauty like Kitagawa Kaimu. I'm so lucky!"

"But in that case, I'll have to keep my distance from Mashiro and Kotori!"

Hideaki Iura made up his mind and then walked towards the convenience store.

However, he underestimated the impact of his in-depth conversation with Kitagawa Kaimu last night.

A dozen minutes later, Iura Hide, carrying the breakfast he had bought, entered the password and walked into Sengoku Chihiro's apartment.

Just like yesterday, the floor from the entryway to the sofa was covered with clothes, stockings, and underwear that Chihiro Chigoro had casually taken off—only her panties were left on.

Looking beyond the back of the sofa, you can vaguely see empty snack bags and beer cans placed on the coffee table.

Of course, if this were before he cleaned the living room, these trash would probably have been thrown on the floor, since the coffee table and trash can would have been full by then.

This time, however, Mashiro didn't come out of the room to say "Oka eri" after hearing the sound. Instead, Mashiro was like a kitten waiting for its owner to come home from work. It had already come to the entrance, hugged its knees against the wall, and curled up in a ball, just wanting to see its owner as soon as possible.

She didn't open her blurry eyes until she heard the door open, and she stood up.

Was she waiting for me?

Iura Hide wasn't sure if he was overthinking it, but looking at Mashiro, who had been waiting for him for who knows how long, he was deeply moved.

Chapter 51 I do

"Oka eiri".

Mashiro mumbled something in a daze, but then stopped halfway through, remembering that Iura Shu seemed to dislike it.

This left Iura Hide, who was unaware of her thoughts, somewhat puzzled.

"What's wrong? Why did you only say half of it?"

"Because Xiu doesn't like it."

"what?"

"After I said that yesterday, Xiu was unhappy."

Iura Hide was slightly taken aback at first, and then, while feeling both amused and exasperated, his heart couldn't help but soften.

However, thinking of Kitagawa Kaimu, he took a deep breath, suppressed the strange emotions rising in his heart, and changed the subject.

"It's not that I dislike it, it's just that it was my first time there yesterday, so I was a little surprised. By the way, why are you sitting here alone?"

Upon hearing this, Mashiro, who was still a little confused, seemed to remember something, and the slightly nasal tone in her voice instantly became clear.

“I drew Kousei Arima, Tsubaki Sawabe, Ryota Watari, and Kaori Miyazono, and I wanted to show them to Shu.”

Mashiro's words startled Iura Hide again. Before he could react, Mashiro had already taken his hand and pulled him toward the room.

That slightly cool, petite, and soft touch stirred something within Iura Hide. While he was still wondering if it would be a bit inappropriate to pull his hand away directly, he was already being pulled to the computer by Mashiro.

At this moment, Mashiro took the initiative to let go of his hand, which suddenly made him feel a sense of loss.

However, he quickly put all the random thoughts in his head aside and looked at the original artwork of the character on the screen.

He had seen Mashiro's old manga yesterday. Although the artwork was exceptionally exquisite, the old-fashioned shoujo manga style, along with some inherent issues, made the characters Mashiro drew look almost identical in terms of face shape and features, except for their hairstyles. Their expressions were also quite stiff.

However, the original character artwork on the screen at this moment, apart from the different art style, almost perfectly reproduced the personality and appearance in the setting, and every frown and smile became exceptionally lively.

"Do you like it?"

"Yes, it's a great drawing!"

Iura Hide looked away and praised him sincerely.

Upon receiving the praise, Mashiro's previously expressionless face seemed to quietly blossom with a happy smile.

"Can I turn Xiu's novel into a manga?" Mashiro asked again. A hint of anticipation flickered in her clear, ruby-like eyes.

However, this sudden request was once again beyond Iura Hide's expectations, causing him to pause for a moment before frowning involuntarily.

"this."

After a moment's hesitation, Iura Hide frankly said, "I actually learned to draw because I wanted to turn this novel into a manga."

A hint of frustration flashed in Mashiro's eyes, though very faint, but it was still caught by Iura Hide.

Iura Hide quickened his pace and continued, "But if you'd like, how about we draw together?"

"I will create the script and storyboards, and you will be responsible for the actual drawing."

"We'll split the royalties and publication fees equally."
