Chapter Ninety-Nine: Sagiri Amamiya's Overwhelming Embarrassment

Rising from bed and stepping out of the bedroom, Anhe glanced around the living room and quickly noticed Nobue Ito seated on the sofa by the fireplace. She spotted him too and gave a slight nod in greeting.

Anhe approached, immediately noticing that she was no longer wearing the white turtleneck sweater from earlier but had changed into the red-and-white miko outfit she first wore when they met yesterday. Curiosity sparked, he asked, “Do you have an event today?”

“Yes, I do~,” Nobue replied softly, slowly lifting her head. Her delicate face flushed with a rosy glow, her eyes dreamy. Seeing Anhe’s gaze, she lifted a finger to her lips and whispered in a captivating tone, “Anhe-kun… want to know what kind of event it is?”

Anhe drew in a sharp breath, startled not only by her expression and gesture but also by the scene at her collar. Sensing his stare, Nobue’s lips curled into a slight smile before she lowered her hand, just enough to shield his gaze from the abyss beneath her neckline.

Just as Anhe thought she was about to pull her collar higher, a swift “whoosh” sounded. The fabric that had been blocking his view vanished, revealing skin as pale and smooth as freshly fallen snow, exposed to the air and his eyes.

The suddenness of the sight left Anhe momentarily speechless, his eyes wide with surprise. Seeing his reaction, Nobue seemed pleased; she crossed her legs and, whether intentionally or not, lifted the hem of her crimson skirt slightly, exposing her fair, sleek thigh to the open air.

Swallowing hard, Anhe imagined what pose he might strike next, but noticing Nobue’s unusual expression and the deep blush on her lovely face, reason ultimately prevailed over desire.

The faint scent of alcohol hung in the air, and combined with Nobue’s uncharacteristic behavior and flushed cheeks, it was clear she was drunk.

Sighing softly, Anhe lifted Nobue into his arms and walked slowly to the bedroom, laying her gently on the bed. Sitting at the bedside, he gazed at her serene, exquisite sleeping face as his mind began to wander.

Unbeknownst to him, Nobue’s eyes fluttered open. She turned her head to look at him beside the bed, sighing with a hint of helplessness. “You really are something… I was being so forward…”

Startled back to reality by her words, Anhe met her gaze and teased, “Weren’t you just drunk?”

Nobue rolled her eyes but turned her face to the ceiling and murmured, “Yes, I was drunk. Thank you, kind-hearted Anhe-kun, for not taking advantage.”

Despite her words, a rosy blush spread across her cheeks and neck.

In truth, she had intended to use the courage alcohol gave her to take the final step toward Anhe. Previously, when he was asleep, she had even tried undressing herself completely, but shame overcame courage, and she hadn’t dared to remove his pants.

So she decided to bolster her bravery with drink.

But to her surprise, even after going that far, Anhe had simply stood by and watched. Just like that?

Nobue’s feelings were mixed; she was confused by this little guy before her. Didn’t they share moments during theI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
