The Case Where I, The Strongest Mercenary, was Reincarnated as a Bullied, Introverted High School Student - With My Unbeatable Fighting Skills, I Rule the School and Underworld - Chapter 19 - Would You Like to Sleep Together?

“Jinta~, can I come in? Or would I be intruding?”

As I was contemplating my plans for tomorrow, I heard Ami’s voice coming from outside the room. I exchanged a brief glance with Charlotte, who was closing her laptop on the bed, before responding.

“Oh, it’s fine.”

“Then, excuse me~.”

Ami opened the door and entered my room. It seemed she had just finished taking a bath, following Charlotte.

She was wearing a cute blue nightgown, and her short black hair was completely dry.

With a mischievous smile, Ami inquired,

“So, what were you two doing together?”

“Uh, well…”

“It’s about the game, isn’t it? ”Battle Royale” has a lot to offer.”

Making Charlotte a gaming buddy was one of the reasons for me. Even if someone were to inquire about my mercenary work or the content of my conversations with Charlotte, I could easily respond with, “We were talking about the game.”

“Oh, I see. You’re gaming buddies. If I can get close to such a cute girl, maybe I should join too.”

“Ami, you’re not very good at it, so it wouldn’t work.”

“Jinta isn’t any better. Besides, in games, it’s not about skill; it’s about having fun, right?”

Ami surprisingly hit the mark with her comment. She then began to pet Charlotte while exclaiming, “Aww, Charlotte-chan, you look adorable in your nightgown! You’re like an angel!”

Since Charlotte had grown up in a world of war with adults, she probably hadn’t had the chance to make friends with girls her own age. She didn’t know how to react and blushed as Ami continued to dote on her.

No lovey-dovey stuff on my bed, please.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been in Jinta’s room.”

Ami placed Charlotte on her lap like a stuffed toy and muttered to me.

“There’s nothing special here.”

“Really? Even though you’re always working part-time, it’s strange that there’s nothing here.”

Fushimi Jinta had been saving money for Ami’s tuition, refusing to spend it on himself. In the end, that money was taken by Dojima and became the catalyst for his suicide. He had been hoping that one day Ami would say, “Thank you, big brother.” Well, it might be too late for that now.

“Where is Charlotte-chan going to sleep tonight? I don’t have an extra futon.”

“Oh, um, what should we do?”

“If I sleep on the floor, the bed can be used.”

“You can’t possibly sleep on the floor.”

Ami let out an exasperated sigh, wearing a disbelieving expression.

“You’ve got to be kidding me; it’s the perfect place to stay, sheltered from the rain and wind.”

“Uh, I don’t have any particular intentions with Jinta.”

“Denied. It’s too cramped.

In that case, I’d rather sleep on the floor comfortably.”

I firmly rejected the idea of sharing a bed with Charlotte. Just having her sit next to me was making my heart race.

Sharing a futon with her was out of the question; my body wouldn’t handle it. It might explode.

Ami backed me up.

“That’s right! Even though Jinta is harmless and basically invisible, it’s still a no-go to sleep in the same bed with him!”

“Do you really need to make fun of me like that?”

“I-I see…”

Charlotte’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, looking somewhat disappointed.

We had been mercenaries together for a long time, so I couldn’t blame her for her confusion, but her sense of distance from me was way off.

Normally, she should be repulsed.

“That’s why, let’s sleep together, Charlotte-chan! Don’t worry, I won’t do anything! Seriously! I might touch you a little bit, but it’s just for skinship! That’s what Japan is like!”

Ami’s mouth loosened into a slack expression as she breathed heavily through her nose.

It seemed that Charlotte’s cuteness could drive even someone of the same gender to madness.

And don’t involve Japan in your indecent behavior.

“I’m happy to be able to sleep with Ami! I-I’m a little embarrassed, though…”

Charlotte innocently rejoiced, completely unaware of the impending danger. It seemed that Charlotte’s mercenary instincts weren’t kicking in, probably because there was no such danger on the battlefield.

(Charlotte… Please make it through the night safely.)

As I saluted them silently in my mind, I watched the two of them leave the room.
