The Most Beautiful Girl in School Who Got Engaged is Devoted to Her Marriage Even Though it was a Political Marriage - Chapter 13

During the time we shared an umbrella, I couldn’t help but feel frustrated and tense at the same time.

It can’t be helped. Since the umbrella that we’re using was originally meant for one, we were so close to each other.

I can feel the warmth of Renge because our shoulders are touching. I can even notice the length of her eyelashes because my face is so close, and she smelled like sweet honey.

Being called the school’s most beautiful girl has its consequences. The gazes of people passing by are undoubtedly drawn to Renge. In the process, I feel like I’m being appraised, and it’s making me uncomfortable.

Even though Renge has a red face, she was still grinning at me. It made me feel more annoyed.

Arriving at the entrance of the apartment, Renge and I breathed a sigh of relief.

“You managed to come back, didn’t you?”

Renge offered a comforting smile, and I was taken aback by her expression.

“Hidetsugu-kun, you’re all wet!”

It’s no wonder she’s surprised. The left half of me is completely soaked from the rain.

The whole time we were walking, I kept my umbrella close to Renge’s side to keep her from getting wet.

I thought it would be best if she didn’t notice because she would be worried, but… well, I guess that’s impossible.

I sigh inwardly, and in order to avoid making Renge feel any more guilty, I smile as if it’s nothing.

“Don’t worry about it. The size of the folding umbrella couldn’t protect the two of us from the rain. We have no choice.”

“You shouldn’t have worried about it! It’s my fault for forgetting the umbrella, so I should be the one getting wet in the rain!”

“Don’t be stupid. There’s no way you can do that.”

“Why!?”

“I’m a man too. I just can’t disregard you. I have that much pride.”

“Huh!?”

I declared, and Renge’s eyes widened, and she let out a cute voice. Renge’s face quickly turned red, and her mouth seemed to flutter in an unusual display of embarrassment.

Since I’m usually the one on the receiving end, seeing her like this is quite refreshing.

Seeing Renge’s panicking appearance, I relaxed my cheeks――

“Achoo!”

I sneezed because of the cold.

Renge was startled.

“You’ll eventually catch a cold if you keep wearing your clothes! Hurry and take it off!”

“Wait!?”

Renge’s expression changed, and she quickly pulled off my blazer. With the same momentum, she loosened my tie and unbuttoned the shirt from the top.

This time, it was my turn to panic.

“Wait, wait, wait! How can you just take it off!?”

“If you keep your wet clothes on, you’ll get even colder!”

“I know that, and I can take it off myself!”

“It’s the wife’s job to make her husband take off his clothes!”

“Stop, stop! I’m just a bit wet from the rain; there’s no need for this!”

Renge seems to be panicking due to the guilt of what happened earlier and the possibility that I might catch a cold. I raised my voice in order to bring Renge, who is still trying to make me take off my clothes, back to her senses.

“Calm down, Renge! Have you forgotten where this is?!”

“Where…”

Renge looked around and froze.

Yes. We are at the entrance of the apartment building. Naturally, it’s not an appropriate place to undress someone else. Renge’s actions are dangerously close to being a crime.

She seemed to realize where she was and what she was doing, and she moved away from me.

“I’m sorry!”

“No, it’s fine as long as you understand.”

“Um, uh… I-I’ll go home first and prepare your bath!”

Her sense of shame must have exceeded her capacity. Renge turned her back to me and made a mad dash for the elevator.

While looking at Renge’s back, I adjusted my disheveled clothes.

Indeed, in various ways, she’s someone who can give you a heart attack.

Although I am complaining, a smile hung on my lips. For some reason, it makes me happy to have someone take care of me.
