The Classmate Who Is Adored by Everyone Smiles Teasingly Only at Me-Chapter 5Volume 2 .6 - Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween! 6
“Anyway, you two need to get ready quickly, or you’ll be late for school. Sōma-kun, will you have breakfast here before you go?”
“No, thank you. I need to change into my uniform, and I’d like to take a shower if possible, so I’ll hurry home.”
As Sōma declined the mother’s offer, the daughter, already dressed in her uniform, let out a disappointed sigh.
“It’s a shame. We could have had breakfast together. Miki-chan will be here soon, and the three of us could go to school together.”
“I need to change into my uniform—wait a minute. Saito is coming here?”
“She usually comes to pick me up on days when there’s no student council activity.”
‘What’s wrong with that?’ Chika looked puzzled, but Sōma felt a chill.
The last person who should find out that Sōma stayed at the Satomi household is Miki. There’s no telling what kind of trouble he’ll be in or what she’ll say.
Standing up with a cold sweat on his back, he realizes he must escape this house as soon as possible.
Ding-dong.
But it was too late.
He could hear the chime ringing from downstairs.
“Oh, that must be Miki-chan.”
Chika’s mother went downstairs to answer the door with her slippers clattering.
“…hey, Chika.”
He knew his voice wouldn’t reach downstairs, but he couldn’t help whispering.
“Does this house have a back door?”
“A back door? We don’t have anything like that.”
“Then I have no choice but to hide in this house until you and Saito leave for school.”
It’s better to be late than to be noticed by Miki and suffer a terrible fate.
He sits down on the floor scattered with stars and hearts while sighing, then Chika squats down, wrapping her knees with the hem of her skirt and bringing her gaze to his level.
“Could it be that you don’t want Miki-chan to find out you stayed at my house?”
“Obviously. Chika, just imagine if Saito, who dotes on you found out about it. I’d be tortured and then killed.”
“No way, that can’t be true.”
Chika laughed as if she had heard a funny joke, but it wasn’t a joke. That classmate of theirs seems to lose a few screws in her head when it comes to her best friend.

“Listen, don’t you dare tell Saito that I stayed here, got it?”
“Hmm, what to do?”
As he tried to nail her, she leaned in with a face that seemed to enjoy his reaction.
“It might be fun to see Sōma-san get scolded by Miki-chan and become all sulky.”
“Seriously, stop it.”
The thought of being scolded seriously by a classmate is too much to bear for him.
When Sōma made a face like he was about to cry, Chika chuckled.
“I’m just kidding. I wouldn’t do that to you.”
He was relieved, but only for a moment.
“Because if I did that, you’d be too scared of getting scolded by Miki-chan and you might never stay over again. I want to see more and more of your sleeping face, Sōma-san.”
“Look here…”
She showed him a photo on her smartphone of him asleep.
“Look, this one is super cute. When I poked your cheek, you fussed like a baby and then quickly fell back into a comfortable sleep. I poked your cheeks so many times. I should have taken a video.”
“Don’t mess with someone when they’re sleeping.”
Seemingly regretful, Chika gazed at the stored photos as if in a trance.
“Sōma-san, you’re right in front of me when you’re asleep. Isn’t it natural to want to tease you?”
She said something outrageous so casually.
“This girl…!”
“You should have easily predicted that this would happen if you fell asleep in front of me. It’s your fault for falling asleep before me.”
He was getting really annoyed.
“So you’re saying I can do the same to you if you fall asleep first? Poking cheeks is too mild. I’ll cover your face with a permanent marker, so be prepared.”
“That’s fine with me. It’s impossible for me to fall asleep first. So, how about we have another sleepover the week after next?”
“Fine. I’ll take you on!”
“It’s a deal! I’m looking forward to more photos!”
“I’ll buy a twelve-color set of permanent markers just for that!”
A tit for tat.
Almost reflexively, they ended up making a promise to have another sleepover.
I won’t fall asleep first next time! He resolved firmly as he heard Chika’s mother and Miki exchanging morning greetings downstairs.
“Good morning. It’s nice to see the weather is good today.”
“Good morning, Miki-chan. Thank you for coming to pick her up again this morning.”
“No, I enjoy doing it. So, is Chika ready yet?”
“Well, it looks like it’s going to take a little longer. I’m sorry. Please come in and wait upstairs if you don’t mind.”
“No, I’ll wait here――Huh? Those sneakers…”
When Sōma heard Miki’s murmur, he bit his lip after realizing his mistake.
It was clearly odd for men’s sneakers to be at the entrance of a house where only an elderly couple and their daughter lived.
He should have hidden them before Miki arrived.
But regretting it now was too late.
All he could do was hope that Chika’s mother would manage to cover for him.
“Oh, that’s right. You see, Sōma-kun stayed over at our place last night.”
Sōma’s fleeting hope was shattered in a mere five seconds.
He almost toppled backward in shock.
“What is your mother thinking!? She immediately tells her about me!?”
“Oh, that’s just typical of mom. Ah, it’s not like I’m the one who said anything, so please don’t say you won’t stay over anymore.”
“Is this really the time to be saying that!?”
This mother and daughter is no good…!
He wanted to hold his head in despair, but Miki’s angry voice was still audible.
“Ichinose, you stayed over!? If your shoes are here, that means you’re still here, right!?”
“Yes, he just woke up a little while ago.”
“I’m coming in!”
Miki burst into the room with the sound of thunderous footsteps like a demon’s.
There was absolutely no time to escape.
