Chapter 9 My Colleague's Sweet Trap

My Colleague’s Sweet Trap

“Welcome, Ucchi.”

“Ah, sorry to disturb you.”

I was half compelled to come to Mishi-san’s apartment.

The entrance was decorated with white doormats, ornaments, and potted plants, giving it a somewhat luxurious feel.

There was also a faint, pleasant scent from the air freshener.

“Make yourself at home.”

Even though she said that I hadn’t been in a single woman’s apartment since I married Rina, so I was nervous.

But since I couldn’t just leave now, I took off my shoes and went in, feeling a little guilty.

“Please sit anywhere. I’m going to make some tea.”

“Yeah, okay….”

Mishi-san smiled and went happily into the kitchen.

Meanwhile, I sat on the cushion and waited nervously.

It was soft and fluffy and somehow comfortable.

Still unable to settle down, I couldn’t help but look around the room.

It looked like a two-bedroom apartment.

In the room with white walls, there was a liquid crystal TV, an arched standing mirror, a dresser, and a work notebook on the low table. To brighten up the room, there were many stuffed animals.

It’s a beautiful room, just like a girl’s room.

As I looked at it, thinking how cute it was, my eyes wandered to the balcony. And then I saw it.

Among the cute clothes, I saw a lot of colorful underwear drying.

I thought it was bad, but being a man, I couldn’t look away.

“I wonder what you’re looking at?”

“E-Eh!?”

Then I heard Mishi-san’s voice from behind me, and I let out a small cry of surprise.

I couldn’t stop sweating. I was sure I had upset her.

There’s no girl who would be happy to see her underwear.

I felt so sorry; I couldn’t stand it and bowed my head.

“I-I’m sorry….”

I was so embarrassed and uncomfortable that I couldn’t look at Mishi-san’s face.

After a short silence, I heard a small laugh from Mishi-san. And then….

“Fufufu, ahahahaha…!”

Mishi-san’s loud laugh echoed throughout the room.

Surprised, I looked up and saw Mishi-san laughing so hard that she was holding her stomach.

“Ahahahaha! Ah, it’s so funny! You’re so serious…!”

“Y-You don’t have to laugh so hard….”

“Sorry. Your pale face was so funny, I couldn’t help it! But hey, aren’t you used to looking at your wife’s underwear?”

“That’s a different story, isn’t it?”

“I wonder? If you want to see it so much, shall I show you what I’m wearing right now?”

“Eh! W-wait…!”

Mishi-san laughed mischievously and tried to lift up her suit skirt with both hands.

“Stop it…!”

Thinking she was going too far, I quickly grabbed her arm to stop her.

Thanks to that, I was able to prevent her from showing me her underwear.

I was so nervous and embarrassed that my heart was pounding and I couldn’t look at Mishi-san’s face. She mumbled softly.

“Tch, I was so close… Maybe I should just force it.”

“Eh? What did you just say…?”

“No, it’s nothing~”

No, I think I just heard some disturbing words, even if it was just a fragment.

Feeling a bit uncomfortable, I decided to quickly finish my tea and leave.

Thinking that I quickly looked at the tea on the table and the snacks on the plate.

It looks like an Earl Grey tea latte with butter cookies.

“Oh, that looks delicious! Oh, is the cookie homemade?”

“Ah, you can tell? I love to bake!”

“R-Really? Well, thank you.”

“Yes, please enjoy it~”

I took a cookie and put it in my mouth.

Although there was a slight bitterness, I liked the crisp texture, the right aroma, and the sweetness.

…Wait? Have I eaten anything like this before?

“Is something wrong? Was it not delicious?”

“Ah, no… Well, it’s delicious.”

“Is that so? I’m glad! I baked a lot, so please eat them all!”

Hearing that, I put more in my mouth.

Hmm, I feel like I’ve eaten something like this somewhere before.

While thinking about it, I got thirsty, so I took a sip of tea.

…Hmm? Does this tea taste a bit strange?

“Is it delicious?”

“Oh, yeah… It’s delicious.”

“Fufufu, I’m glad~”

Well, I don’t drink Earl Grey very often, so maybe it’s just that.

While enjoying the strange taste, I quickly finished the cookies and tea.

I’m already full enough. I don’t think I need any more food.

“Eh…? Wait…?”

“Yes…? What’s wrong?”

Maybe because I’m full, I feel kind of listless.

No, more like my eyelids feel heavy.

“I feel a little…sleepy….”

“Really? Do you want to sleep a little?”

“…Hmm…sorry…y….”

Wrapped in Mishi-san’s soft voice, I couldn’t think of anything else and closed my eyes.

At the moment I collapsed to the floor like a broken doll, I thought I heard Mishi-san’s voice.

“Good night, Ucchi… When you wake up, you’ll be reborn as a new you. Fufufu, I’m looking forward to it. Then I want to make you mine as soon as possible….”

What is she talking about? Ah, not good.

I can’t even think. It doesn’t matter now.

And so I fell into a deep sleep.
