Kiritani Tetsuya originally thought that his body, which was filled with feelings of being trapped and exhausted, would fall asleep completely the moment he lay down, ending this quiet morning in a peaceful sleep.

But in fact, even after lying there for who knows how long, Kiritani Tetsuya still didn't fall asleep.

In addition to the drowsiness that permeated his body, there were also various complex emotions lingering in his heart, making Kiritani Tetsuya unable to fall asleep immediately even if he was deeply sleepy.

If you really want to talk about it, this may be his first experience with a girl's knee pillow.

But I originally thought that the first time like this would be spent lying on Utsunomiya Miu's body, but I didn't expect that Ibuki Tamao was the first to provide herself with such an experience.

Recalling the brief conversation between the two at the BBQ restaurant last night and Ibuki Tamao's refusal-like reply, Kiritani Tetsuya suddenly felt that the scene and experience he was in now was always a bit unreal, lacking an extreme sense of reality.

Even the girl who can be seen in the room no longer seems so real.

These various thoughts were intertwined in Kiritani Tetsuya's mind one by one, making him have mixed feelings for a while, and he was always unable to calm down and take a full rest.

"Kiritani-san, are you still awake? Is there something bothering you?"

Next to Kiritani Tetsuya, Ibuki Tamao, who was sitting silently on the bedside, seemed to have noticed the slight disturbance coming from Kiritani Tetsuya's body and the occasional slight frown on his handsome face, and asked with concern in a timely manner.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly don't feel very sleepy anymore."

Kiritani Tetsuya replied casually, the back of his head covered by hair swaying slightly on the surface of Ibuki Tamao's fair and tender thighs.

"I thought Kiritani-san would just want to sleep after drinking the antipyretic medicine."

At this time, Ibuki Tamao continued to speak directly above Kiritani Tetsuya.

"In that case, how about we chat for a while? I know Kiritani-san must also have many questions to ask me." The girl then added.

"For example, how to solve the problem between Sister Aiji and Sister Rin, or how I came in this morning, or why I rejected you last night, etc."

After saying these words, Kiritani Tetsuya's mood did fluctuate silently, but fortunately, such changes did not show up on the outside of his body.

"Actually, I don't have any special questions, but if you have something to say, then I'll listen."

After quickly calming down the ripples that had just been stirred up in his heart, Kiritani Tetsuya still kept his eyes closed and rested, and spoke in as relaxed a tone as possible.

"Well, let me just talk about it casually."

Seeing that Kiritani Tetsuya didn't refuse, Ibuki Tamao tapped her beautiful forehead where the other party couldn't see her.

After pondering for a while, the girl continued to speak in a low voice.

"Kiritani-san probably doesn't like me."

After Ibuki Tamao finished speaking, the whole room fell into a brief silence.

Even Kiritani Tetsuya's closed eyelids trembled uncontrollably, and then he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ibuki Tamao, who was also staring at him silently, and looked at the girl's pretty face with almost no emotion.

For a moment I didn't know what to say.

"It's not that I don't like it at all."

After being silent for a while, Kiritani Tetsuya could only barely hold back these words.

But the next moment he said these words, he regretted it a little.

"No, I can still see this kind of thing."

However, just when Kiritani Tetsuya felt a little nervous because of the words he just blurted out, Ibuki Tamao gently shook his head and said.

"So I was thinking that perhaps Kiritani-san's question to me was not sincere." The girl then said slowly.

"So you knew it from the beginning."

Unable to bear the long stares with Ibuki Tamao, Kiritani Tetsuya began to turn his head slightly in an inconspicuous manner.

"That's not the case. I only noticed this the second after Kiritani-san said these words. In the previous second, even I temporarily lost the ability to think because of Kiritani-san's words."

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"Kiritani-san, do you still remember what I told you at school last semester? I think you can be more confident in your own charm."

Regarding Kiritani Tetsuya's question, Ibuki Tamao responded calmly.

Seeing Kiritani Tetsuya's slight tilt of his head, the girl also moved her gaze away in cooperation, but at this moment, the small hand placed on the side of her thigh gently stroked the black hair on the other person's head.

"But in fact, this is also the reason why I rejected Kiritani-san. It would be a bit unfair to me to exchange Kiritani-san's false question for a sincere answer."

"Despite my normal appearance, strictly speaking, I am also a very calculating god."

"Feel sorry."

Kiritani Tetsuya said softly, a little unable to cope with the girl's series of confessions.

In response, Ibuki Tamao shook his head indifferently.

"There is actually no need to apologize to me, Kiritani-san. After all, I asked you to pursue other gods."

"And from another perspective, maybe this kind of relationship that is neither far nor close is the most suitable for us, at least for me, so Kiritani-san doesn't actually need to cause too much trouble because of what I just said.

Psychological burden.”

Having said this, the girl paused for a rare moment before continuing to speak.

"But if one day Kiritani-san asks the question last night from the bottom of his heart, I might still consider it and exchange it with you with an equally sincere answer."

Ibuki Tamao's clear and moving eyes returned to Kiritani Tetsuya's body at this moment, and the small hand on his hair stopped stroking at this moment and slowly returned to the side of his thigh.

"Well, how should I put it? Although I didn't understand what you were talking about later, thanks to what you said, Yuxu, my mood is indeed much calmer now."

In Ibuki Tamao's sight, Kiritani Tetsuya scratched his head and said.

Although Tetsuya Kiritani did not fully understand every word Ibuki Tamao said, at least with this opportunity he understood the reason why the girl rejected him last night.

Although Kiritani Tetsuya didn't want to admit it, after knowing the reason behind this, his mood did feel relieved a lot, and he suddenly felt relieved that the fish bone stuck in his throat had been pulled out.

"If you can use these words to help Kiritani-san get a better rest, that's enough."

Ibuki Tamao said with a slightly satisfied tone.

Watching Kiritani Tetsuya close his eyes again, the girl immediately lowered her voice a bit.
