The Gal Is Sitting Behind Me, and Loves Me (LN) - Volume 1
With December approaching, it was entering the period where the season would enter winter in full swing.
As days were going by hecticly, this was one of those unimportant, trivial incidents amidst such passing.
While spending their time chilling around in the apartment, Shino noticed a half-opened closet.
“Hey, this closet isn’t closed properly, so can I close it? Were you trying to do something or stuff like that?”
“Eh? Aah, I just forgot to close that.”
“Geez, you better properly close it. …Hmm?”
“What’s wrong?”
“There’s something with pretty wrapping… I wonder what this is…”
Sandai perked up at that thing Shino curiously picked up. That wrapped object was the Christmas present for Shino.
He couldn’t just go, ‘I will give it anyway, so it doesn’t really matter if it’s now.’ This kind of thing got meaning because it would be given on the day in question.
Sandai snatched the Christmas present from Shino in a panic and immediately hid it behind his back.
“Not his one!”
“Hey…”
“No means no!”
“…Is it something you’ve gotta hide that desperately? As far as the wrapping goes, it’s not even anything that weird, right?”
“Not now. Not for now…” Sandai said while looking down, only for Shino to put her index finger on her chin and tilt her head.
With a rather keen intuition at times like this, Shino delightfully smiled, seemingly to have arrived at the correct conclusion rather quickly.
“For now… is it. Hmmm.”
“You might be curious, but just forget this. No matter what you say or what you do to me, this is the only one thing I won’t hand over right now.”
“Sure.”
“Heh…?” Sandai let out a freak-ish voice at the suddenly sensible Shino.
In response, “I don’t know what’s inside, but I will look forward to it till Christmas.” His extremely cute gyaru girlfriend winked with the tip of her tongue out.
