My Sweet Roomies Re - Written ( Raika Ikagami Route)

Chapter 24 - The Road Home

(Wh-what's this soft thing next to my sides...?)

(Raika's ....breast !?)

 It keeps rubbing into my sides and i'm being self aware of it...i started contemplating about how the universe came to be and the meaning of life in general ...yeah bewbs rubbing to your side does that to you...

(Th-there bouncing as she walks..)

"Mina you're cheeks are bright red."

 "Huh ..um , um , i must be sober now..."

"I think i can stand on my own now..."

"You're still stuttering you must be very drunk..."

Raika looks concern..

"Are you okay ? Do you feel sick ?"

"N-no the opposite , i'm in heaven..."

"Huh ?"

(Shut up ! me!)

"Ah! oh no, never mind that..."

"Are you really okay ? Your face is still red ?"

*Nudge*

(So close! your face is too close !)

"U-um ...Raika ?!"

"What is it ?"

"C-can we rest somewhere i want to sober up..."

(If she gets any closer to me , my composure will fly out of the window..)

Raika nods slightly..

"...Okay."

"There's a park nearby we'll rest there.."

So we went into the park...

I sit next to her on a bench with a little roof..

"Phew.." ( Finally ...i can relax and calm down..)

"....Have you sober up a little ?"

"S-sort of..."

"Sorry about earlier , i shouldn't have drink the whole bottle , i never imagined how expensive that was , thanks to the Head Mistress letting me of the hook like that.."

"N-no don't blame yourself , Head mistress told you not to worry about it , and she even said you can drink that anytime just drink it all up like what you did before the store won't charge you..." she smiled.

My brain is working properly again...i turned to Raika..

"....Thanks for inviting me , though i caused trouble , i'm sorry about that and i really appreciate the invite.."

"Hmn ?"

"I was happy to see you at work..."

Raika looks confused at my sincerity..but she smiles

"Hmn ? Thanks.."

"I was happy you came by , Mina."

"R-Really ?!"

"Yeah , you're really cute when your drunk too.."

"I-i'd rather prefer you just forgot about the last part..."

"I wish i'd gotten a picture.."

"P-picture ?!"

"Then i could keep it with me , always.." she smile gleefully

"P-Please no..."

(I'd die of embarrassment...)

"Ahahahaha just kidding.."

My cheeks got red again from Raika's teasing...

(I think i have the most fun , when i'm with her...)

Before i realized it Raika is staring at me..

"Wh-what's wrong ?"

"Well...i was just marveling on how new this is to me .."

"New ?"

"....Being with someone like you , Mina."

"What do you mean by that ?"

Raika looks away and she seems troubled and looking for an answer..

"I've encountered all sorts of men ...being a hostess..."

"So many of them are shallow and misogynist..."

The smile leaves Raika's face...

"And i know i couldn't help it, that's the kind of job i had.."

"I started to hate men , thinking they're all like that.."

"But i tried to just focus on doing my job."

"But...."

Raika looks directly at me...

"....Mina , you were different."

"Huh ?"

Her usual sweet smile is back on her face...

"You're pure hearted , kind and warm ..i didn't think that there were any men like you."

(me pure hearted ? )"N-no , don't say that..."

(i have no idea how to respond to that..)

"Ahahahaha , there it is again , bright red..."

Then she stares at me with limpid eyes....

"....Listen."

"Y-yes...?"

Raika's gaze drops uncomfortable for a moment then returns...her cheeks are slightly pink.

"The way you blush like that , Mina ...i really like it."
