I'll Take This Love Home With Me ch2

p1

What will be the outcome of their romantic tug-of-war...!?

p2

...She'll make me fall in love with her?

...I'm not playing along with this.
Move.

!

Tch
Why is it locked?
Chiaki-senpai.
What is it?

p3

You're a bit close.

Since we're in the same company and all,
I'll make sure to take my work seriously too, so...

I look forward to your guidance,
Senpai<3

p4

I refuse.

...

Playing hard to get, huh<3

She doesn't even think about how much she's bothering me...
This is exactly why I hate romance.

p5

I need to work and forget all about her!

Chi~
aki-
Senpai<3

p6

The welcome party last weekend was fun, huh?
Here you go<3

...I suppose.
Now shoo.
Why didn't you come to the afterparty?
It's up to me whether I attend company drinking parties or not.

I was so lonely~
Haah
Thanks for the coffee.

I wanna get to know you more, Chiaki-senpai...
so how about the two of us go drinking together next time?
Why do I have to drink alone with you to have fun?

p7

Not even if it's a request from your cute senpai?

Personal milk & sugar

Cute how exactly?

...
Chiaki-senpai, are you perhaps

wary of me?

As if.
Ah<3

p8

I won't lay a hand on you like last time...
HEy...!

Good work~
What did she lay what on?

You two sure get along. Do you know each other?
We just happened to meet before I transferred here.
Heh. That's some crazy coincidence.

Speaking of which.
Kuroiwa-san's the one who picked and reserved the venue for the welcome party.
Eh~ Is that so?
Tch
Why'd he have to go and tell her that...

p9

I didn't get to talk with Senpai much at the welcome party,
so I was going to invite her out in private...

How brave of you.
Go out with her, Kuroiwa~

Good co-booze-ication is part of the job too, right?
Kidding~
...

Alright, fine.

I'll go drinking with you or whatever, so get to work already.
Yay~
Good for you.

p10

Oolong tea, edamame and cream cheese.
With extra.

Huh?
You're done drinking for tonight?
Just one beer and that's it?
Obviously. I'm not making the same mistake twice.

Mistake?
Surely not.
You don't need to worry about that...

p11

I've already seen you naked, after all<3
Kya<3

...About that.
Yes?

Could you tell me what happened that night
in more specific detail?
Excuse me~
Coming~
Cheers~

...
Chiaki-senpai.
You don't remember?

p12

...
I remember bits and pieces,
but not everything.

Eh~...

Are you sure?

p13

!

Hey... What're
you...

Does this jog your memory?

Why would it?
...Even though
it looked like

p14

you felt really good...

...I guess

I should help you remember.

p15

...

No thanks.

Thank you for waiting~
An oolong tea, peach sour,
edamame and cream cheese...

p16

Soy sauce-soaked spicy yam.
It's a shame you don't remember.
Mentai dashimaki.

It's a problem when you say it like that.

Ah.
...Why did you want to remember anyway?

It's not fair that I'm the only one who doesn't remember anything.
Fair?
Fufu
So you're the type who worries about stuff like that, huh, Chiaki-senpai?
That's surprising.

p17

I'm not worried.
But...
it's like you're taking advantage of my weakness and it pisses me off.

That side of you is cute.
It's not cute at all.
What are you saying?

Let's see.
That night...

after we left the bar,

p18

you threw up, Chiaki-senpai.
Oh dear.

You weren't able to even ride a taxi in that state,
Urrrgh...
There there.

so we went into a nearby hotel,

and I gave you a bath...
Hold on a minute.

p19

...Did I perhaps selfishly ask to take a bath?
Ah.
Yes<3

...
I knew it...
I put your clothes through a quick wash and left them to dry.

...
I can't take any more of this, so

I'll just apologise here.
I'm really sorry for the trouble I caused.
Please,
don't worry about it.

p20

I'd gladly pay out of pocket to sort out the messes of the woman I love<3
Kya<3
Say what?

...At any rate,
I'm gonna take my leave, so order whatever you want.

You should drink with me too, Chiaki-senpai<3
...That's not something you should propose after talking about someone's drunken folly.

Yes?
One ginger sour, please.
And a peach oolong too.
Can I get a pitcher of that?
Are you listening to me?

p21

Relax, I won't get you smashed.
Besides,
you wanna hear the rest of the story sober, right?

Just a light one...
Okay. Cheers<3

So...
after taking your bath,

you suddenly hugged me.

p22

You told me you had a complex about having no experience...

so I answered in return.
Huh!?

Hold on a second. You mean to tell me...

p23

I'm the one...
who came
onto you...?

That would be correct.
...Ng!

Ah.

Hey...
Chiaki-senpai!
That's mine...!!

Phew~
Keep it in moderation...
So,

p24

...did we go all the way?

Wahahaha

Thanks for the food~
Thank you, come again~

Yes.
That goes without saying<3
Have some water<3

p25

~...
We were really compatible<3

I see...
Feel like having a romance with me yet?
Drink the water too, okay?

Excuse me, can I have another.
Coming up~
Ah, that's no good, Chiaki-senpai.

p26

...You really are
a romance supremist, huh?
That's right.
I'm always on the lookout for love.
Hmm...

You don't have anything better to do?

...
Are you saying romance isn't worth having?

p27

That's not what I...
Let's change the subject.
Mashiro,

do you like me simply because I have no experience?

Not at all.

Like I said when I called out to you,
you're just my type, Chiaki-senpai.
It was love at first sight, plain and simple.

p28

She fell asleep again?

Geez.

...That was a surprise.

She's a sharp one.
I thought she had caught onto my disposition.
There's no way I'd like her simply because she has no experience.
It's true that she's my type too.

p29

It's just...

finding conceited women who are full of pride
and think they're in the right all the time,

making them fall for me from the bottom of their hearts,
making them obsessed right down to their core,
hogging them to myself, messing them up...

p30

and ultimately casting them aside is my hobby.

Atsuko

p31

Oh geez, I drifted off.
I'd better get home.

Okay~
Good work today.

...
What are you doing?
?

It's pretty late.
I'll call us a taxi, so you ride with me.
Eh...?
Are you sure?

p32

I'm your senpai, after all.
Keeping an eye out is the least I can do.

Just don't do anything weird at the office.

...Alright.
I'll take you up on that~...

Maybe I'll sleep over at your place tonight, Chiaki-senpai!
Don't be stupid.

Mashiro's twisted tendencies exposed?
