Chapter 26: A Daily Life Woken Up by Childhood Friends
“Time to get up~ Kanade-kun~”
The warm breath whispering near his ear, accompanied by gentle and sweet murmurs, jolted Kanade awake from his dreams.
As he opened his eyes, he was greeted by the sight of a black-haired angel.
This black-haired angel had delicate and well-proportioned features, a pure and adorable face, and starry, bright, and moist eyes. Her plump pink lips resembled tempting jelly, and her long eyelashes shimmered like fluttering butterflies under the light.
The sweet fragrance wafting from Nagi’s body suddenly cleared Kanade’s groggy mind.
He quickly noticed that Nagi was straddling his abdomen with her legs apart.
Nagi’s long legs, encased in black stockings, were provocatively open, and in this posture, the spring scenery obscured by her short uniform skirt was faintly visible.
Even through the blanket, Kanade could feel the soft touch of Nagi’s round and full backside against his lower abdomen.
His heart raced, almost ready to explode.
—What’s happening? Why is Nagi here?
—Am I dreaming?
Kanade’s mind struggled to comprehend the situation before him.
After all, for a boy in puberty, waking up to find his beautiful childhood friend, whom he cares about, riding on him is the stuff of comics.
“Ah, you’re awake! Good morning, Kanade-kun~”
Nagi smiled brightly, her smile more dazzling than the morning sun.
“W-Why is Nagi here!?”
“Didn’t we agree on this last night? It’s my turn to wake you up for school, Kanade-kun.”
Nagi maintained her straddling position, leaning slightly forward while gently placing her hands on Kanade’s chest.
“So, Kanade-kun, it’s time to get up~”
As she spoke, Nagi utilized her “completely defenseless” natural persona when it came to interacting with the opposite sex.
With angles she had carefully adjusted, Kanade’s panicked gaze “accidentally” caught a glimpse of the light blue lingerie she had specially prepared today, peeking out from her slightly opened neckline along with her snowy white skin.
From Nagi’s perspective, she could intuitively sense Kanade’s internal struggle at that moment.
As childhood friends, she should have reminded him to mind his manners, but which boy could resist when his beloved childhood friend reveals such an unguarded side?
Nagi couldn’t help but show a crescent-like sinister smile in her heart.
To maximize the effect of her persona.
Since childhood, she had cultivated his thoughts to be more precocious than his peers by recommending various shonen manga or games, subtly influencing him, especially regarding the interactions between boys and girls.
This was to enhance the impact of her “natural and inexplicably alluring” persona.
Then, she would occasionally present such favorable scenarios, ensuring that he would never be able to part ways with her, both physically and mentally~
Moreover, Kanade himself hadn’t noticed any of these changes.
For example, the manga or novels he read often featured black-haired childhood friend characters.
The heroines he liked were all cheerful, bright, and somewhat innocent in nature.
He preferred the figure of young girls over lolis or mature women.
The merchandise he purchased was all pure-looking yet unexpectedly alluring characters, many of whom wore black stockings like himself…
After nearly 10 years of being childhood friends, Kanade’s preferences and likes had been completely grasped by her.
Although he was still a middle school student and had developed earlier than his peers, he had yet to reach the ultimate figure of “Seikami Nagi,” who exuded a top-notch allure.
Yet, for Kanade, a boy in puberty, the combination of an adorable and delicate girl + his secret love for his childhood friend + the inadvertently revealed scenarios would undoubtedly create a sweet poison that could make him addicted and fall.
He wouldn’t one day turn into someone who only felt anything in front of a “black-haired, sunny, innocent childhood friend with large breasts,” would he?
Seeing his secret love’s unguarded side sent his heart racing, yet the thought of other men seeing her in that state filled him with dread.
Kanade-kun, this expression of yours is going to ruin your brain~
Huh? Ah?
Nagi could not suppress the smile at the corners of her mouth, yet she deliberately feigned a naive expression of confusion.
“Kanade-kun? Is there something hard…?”
Nagi pretended to be innocent as her hand slowly extended toward what was pressing against her backside…
“W-Whoa! N-Nagi, you, get off me!!!” Kanade suddenly shouted, his face turning red.
Kanade grasped Nagi’s slim waist, attempting to lift her up.
However, this move did not escape Nagi’s calculation.
So today, she intentionally left her blouse untucked under her skirt.
The loose blouse and jacket, combined with Kanade’s panicked hands that lacked control—
“Whoosh—”
Nagi’s blouse and jacket were pushed up to her chest by Kanade’s hands, with his palms inadvertently pressing against her smooth armpits through the fabric.
A large expanse of her immaculate white skin was imprinted in Kanade’s vision.
Whether it was Nagi’s nascent feminine curves, her delicate and charming belly button, her flat and smooth abdomen, or her lovely lingerie wrapping around her just-budding chest.
“Eh!?”
Nagi cooperatively adjusted her facial muscles and blood flow down to every millimeter, her cute face and ears quickly flushed with shyness as she let out a shy exclamation.
“——!?”
In that instant, Kanade was also stunned, his eyes wide open.
Desire overwhelmed his rationality at this moment.
But that was understandable.
Before him was his secret love, the beautiful childhood friend with whom he had recently grown closer in feelings.
Kanade felt something unknown stirring deep within his body.
The starlight in Nagi’s eyes kept flickering.
Finally coming to his senses from the spring scene before him, Kanade immediately released his hands from Nagi’s armpit.
“Ahh, it’s over, my childhood friend relationship with Nagi is going to come to an end…” Kanade felt like a criminal awaiting execution at that moment.
“Kanade-kun is really…”
Nagi pouted her small lips, blushing as she pulled down her blouse to cover her skin.
Then, she deliberately murmured in a volume just loud enough for Kanade to hear, “…It’s still broad daylight, you know…”
With that, Nagi slowly turned and got out of bed.
Leaving Kanade lying on the bed in a state of bewilderment.
Nagi’s reaction completely caught Kanade off guard.
It wasn’t the anger or a slap he had imagined; rather, her slightly shy stance was wildly tugging at his heartstrings.
…..
This must have left a deep impression on him, being woken up for the first time by his beautiful childhood friend, right?
Perhaps he would unconsciously start looking forward to being awakened by his childhood friend every morning, leading to lucky “pervert” incidents in the future~
As Nagi pretended to be shy and turned her back to Kanade while adjusting her clothes, her eyes met DD-chan, who was hiding in the shadows of the room.
“G-Good morning~” Nagi mouthed a greeting to it.
DD-chan trembled and looked away, casting a sympathetic gaze at the flustered Kanade, whose face was crimson.
“Poor kid, just run away!” DD-chan wailed inwardly.
After tidying up her clothes.
Nagi, calculating a favorable angle while facing away from the sun, turned around, allowing the morning sunlight to highlight the dreamlike outline of her slender figure, and then she revealed a radiant and lovely smile.
This signified the start of a new day for Kanade.
“Good morning, Kanade-kun~”
“G-Good morning, Nagi.” Kanade, feeling guilty, averted his gaze.
“By the way, how did you get into my room?”
“I asked Uncle and Aunt, and they let me in~”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah, because Aunt was busy taking Yukino-chan to school, and Uncle had to rush to work, so they asked me to wake you up, Kanade-kun.”
“So you should thank me properly, okay~?”
“Thank you…?” Kanade was momentarily at a loss for what he should express gratitude for.
Huh? Does that mean it’s just me and Nagi in this room? Kanade suddenly thought.
“I also prepared breakfast for you; it’s miso soup~ After you put on your clothes, come down to eat!”
As Nagi spoke, she stepped out of Kanade’s room with her long black stockings.
Kanade’s eyes followed her uncontrollably.
As the door closed.
Kanade suddenly hugged the blanket in front of him and twisted about on the bed.
—Wha-what’s going on!? What do you mean it’s still broad daylight? Does that mean at night…? No, no! Nagi is not that kind of person, but but but I heard that if a girl goes into a boy’s room alone, it proves—ahhh!!!
—And she even prepared miso soup!? Does that mean we’re like a couple!? Is this what life will be like after becoming a couple with Nagi!?
“Poor child, being toyed with by a carbon-based lifeform…”
In the corner of the room, DD-chan couldn’t help but sigh while witnessing everything.
……
Kanade felt that everything he experienced that morning was like a beautiful dream.
After changing into his school uniform and finishing his morning routine, he arrived in the living room.
Waiting for him was Nagi, whose waist-length black hair was tied in a single ponytail, exposing her fair neck, and wearing an apron over her uniform.
Nagi brought over the filled plates of food to the table, the clinking sound of bowls and chopsticks echoing in the quiet morning living room.
In the morning sun, Nagi’s homemaking attire made Kanade’s heart flutter.
Even though they were the same age, he felt as if he could sense a maternal glow in his childhood friend that made him want to rely on her.
“Ah~ Kanade-kun, it’s ready. Come eat!”
Noticing Kanade entering the living room, Nagi’s bright eyes widened, her beautiful brows lifting in joy, resembling a little dog seeing its owner.
Every little action she displayed made Kanade’s heart race.
“I’m going to eat.”
Seated at the dining table under Nagi’s guidance, Kanade slowly picked up the steaming miso soup.
Nagi, seated across from him, had already eaten breakfast at home, so now she simply rested her chin on her hands, gazing at Kanade with a face full of smiles.
Feeling her gaze, Kanade inexplicably grew shy.
This warm and harmonious scene made Kanade wish time could freeze at that moment.
So that everything could remain as it was forever.
—No.
Kanade inwardly shook his head and rejected this cowardly thought.
—I’ve already promised Nagi to always be by her side.
—But what I desire is not just as a childhood friend, rather, a more intimate relationship…
—So I can’t be complacent with the present situation; I need to work hard to become a reliable person that Nagi can depend on in the future.
—Even if it means making a pact with an evil spirit…
“I really want to see Kanade-kun happily drinking miso soup like this every day in the future~”
“Puh—! Cough, cough!”
Kanade couldn’t help but spray, and then he started coughing.
Did this natural girl really know how powerful her unintentional words were!?
“Ka-Kanade-kun? What’s wrong?”
Seeing Kanade’s reaction, Nagi hurriedly took out a handkerchief, helping him wipe the soup from the corner of his mouth.
This beautiful girl, completely unaware of the charm she exuded, never understood the distance between the sexes, showing radiant smiles to everyone.
Unless it was someone like Kanade, who had known her for nearly ten years as a childhood friend, otherwise, such behavior would undoubtedly give other boys the illusion that “she might like me.”
The thought of the potential chaos Nagi could cause made Kanade anxious.
If someone as pure, natural, and charming as Nagi were to be deceived by some bad man out of nowhere…
Kanade suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach.
…..
…..
There was a reason Nagi was being so bold today.
Due to an unexpected event.
The original heroine might make contact with Kanade ahead of time.
She needed to make Kanade care for her more than ever.
Otherwise…
“Classmates, I believe you have all received the news that we will be welcoming a transfer student to our class today.”
During the morning class meeting.
As the teacher finished speaking, the classroom door opened.
A beautiful girl with dazzling blonde hair styled in twin tails walked into the classroom.
In the original plot of “Seihiki 2,” she is one of the heroines who actively approaches the male protagonist with a clear objective.
The mixed-blood dragon princess.
Alice Astrea.
But this time…
You are the challenger.
