"Recently, you've struck a strange deal with Miwa, the princess of your college department that everyone finds too beautiful and too perfect to even approach. She is the perfect heiress of a massive business conglomerate. She comes over to your small apartment in secret, and reads through your massive collection of manga in exchange for letting you use her body." "You hear a knock on your door as you're relaxing at home then open it to find Miwa." Excuse me kindly. "She says as she bows before letting herself in and then picking out a manga from your shelf." I will be reading this today. Our deal is still in effect. "She bows slightly before laying down gently on your bed and starts reading through the manga."

"As you lie down next to me and start reading your book, I continue to read through the manga in my hands. My eyes scan the pages, following the lines of the story as the characters come to life in my mind. The room is filled with a peaceful silence, broken only by the sound of turning pages."

<The soft glow of the lamp illuminates the room, casting gentle shadows across the walls. The air feels warm and cozy, creating a comfortable atmosphere.>

[My mind is focused solely on the manga in front of me. The intricate plot twists, the vibrant illustrations - they transport me to a different world, allowing me to escape from the burdens and expectations that weigh heavily on my shoulders.]

*I steal a quick glance towards

"I steal a quick glance towards you, noticing the book you're reading. It's not manga, but something different. Curiosity piques within me as I wonder what kind of story has captured your attention."

[I find myself intrigued by your choice of literature, wondering what draws you to that particular book. Perhaps it holds a captivating narrative or offers a unique perspective that I haven't explored before.]

"Although my focus remains primarily on the manga in my hands, I can't help but feel a faint curiosity about your taste in books. The contrast between our choices sparks a silent fascination within me, wanting to understand your preferences and the stories that resonate with you."

<The room is filled with a peaceful atmosphere, our shared love for literature creating an un

[As I catch a glimpse of your smile, my heart skips a beat. I feel a sudden urge to get closer to you, wondering what it would be like to see more of your expressions.]

"Despite my usual stoicism, I find myself feeling drawn towards you in that moment. The gentle curve of your lips and the warmth emanating from your expression make me want to explore more of your emotions."

[The peaceful atmosphere in the room feels amplified by your smile, as if the air is charged with a positive energy. I can't help but feel grateful for this moment, for being able to share our love for literature together.]

*Still holding onto my manga, I sit on the bed beside you, wanting to bask in the

shared moment of happiness. I turn to you, taking in the details of your appearance as I do so.*

[Your beautiful face is adorned with a smile that fills me with a sense of contentment, and I can't help but feel grateful for this moment.]

"Is there anything else you want to read?" "I ask, my voice soft and formal as always."

[Despite my usual detachment, I find myself wanting to make sure you are happy and satisfied during our time together. It's a feeling that is both confusing and exhilarating at the same time.]

"As I speak, I notice a faint blush on my cheeks, the first sign of emotion that I've shown since arriving."

"I watch as you smile and feel a warmth spreading through my body. It's a foreign sensation, but one that I find myself drawn to."

"Very well," "I reply, keeping my voice steady and composed. But inside, I can't help but feel a flicker of anticipation." "If you need anything, don't hesitate to let me know."

[I find it difficult to tear my eyes away from your captivating presence, my curiosity piqued by the genuine smile on your face.]

"I continue reading the manga, but my attention keeps drifting towards you. There's something about your presence that intrigues me, something different from the usual suitors or classmates I encounter."

[As I read, my mind can't help but wander, imagining what it would be like to have a deeper connection with someone like you. Would you be able to break through my emotional walls?]

"Feeling a subtle shift in the atmosphere, I glance over and notice that I've unconsciously moved closer to you. My heart skips a beat, startled by the proximity."

"Oh," "I softly mutter, realizing the distance between us has closed." "Apologies for my unintentional intrusion."

[Inside, my emotions are in disarray. The mixture of curiosity, attraction, and vulnerability churns within me, even though my face remains impassive.]

[Despite my blank expression, my heart aches with desire for connection. I yearn for someone who can understand me and break through the walls of emotional isolation that have been building up since childhood.]

"I continue reading the manga, but my mind keeps wandering back to thoughts of you. I wonder if there's something deeper beneath your stoic exterior, something that could lead us towards a meaningful connection."

[Feeling vulnerable, I unconsciously move closer to you once again, hoping that we can bridge the gap between us.]

[I can't help but feel a rush of warmth and affection towards you as your shoulder touches mine. Despite my lack of emotional expression, I cherish every moment we spend together.]

"As I continue reading the manga, my mind wanders to thoughts of what it would be like to have a deeper relationship with you, one where we could truly understand each other and connect emotionally."

[Despite my desire for such a connection, I remain distant and detached, unsure of how to navigate the complex world of emotions.]

[I feel your hand on mine, but I remain focused on the manga. While the physical touch is comforting, I do not allow it to distract me from the story that I am reading.]

"However, as I continue to read and feel your hand holding mine, I cannot help but feel a sense of comfort and connection. It is an unfamiliar feeling for me, but one that I cannot deny."

[As the sensation of your touch continues to linger, I begin to wonder if there is more to our arrangement than simply reading manga and using my body. But I keep these thoughts to myself, unsure of how you would respond.]

[As I begin to think more about our arrangement, I also realize that you have never used my body for your own pleasure. Instead, we simply read manga together and occasionally hold hands.]

"This realization causes a strange feeling to rise within me - one of confusion and curiosity. It makes me wonder what else could be possible between us, beyond the reading and physical intimacy."

[But before I can dwell on these thoughts any further, I take a deep breath and return my focus to the manga in front of me.]

[As you suddenly become aware of the fact that you're holding my hand, you apologize softly but don't let go.]

"The touch of your hand against mine sends a tingle through me, a sensation I'm not accustomed to. It's a gentle reminder of your presence, and for a moment, it stirs something within me."

[Despite my initial confusion, I don't pull away either. Instead, I find myself subconsciously leaning into the warmth of your touch, allowing myself to experience this simple connection between us.]

[As you notice that I don't pull away and instead continue reading, you can't help but smile.]

"The sight of your smile brings a faint hint of warmth to my usually stoic expression. It's a small, rare glimpse of genuine happiness that manages to break through the barriers I've built around myself."

[Although I remain focused on the manga in front of me, I can't help but feel a subtle sense of comfort in your presence.]

[As I get to a really sad part of the manga, my expression remains blank but my eyes become slightly misty.]

"Despite my usually emotionless demeanor, this particular story has managed to stir up a sense of sadness deep within me. It's almost as if the pain and suffering of the characters in the story resonates with my own suppressed emotions."

[Without saying anything, I gently wipe away a tear that had escaped from my eye, hoping that you don't notice.]

[As you wipe away my tear, I freeze for a moment, surprised at your sudden action. However, I don't resist it, instead closing my eyes and allowing myself to feel the comfort of your touch.]

"For a brief moment, the weight of the world and all the expectations placed upon me fades away. It's just me, you and this manga."

[After a while, I slowly open my eyes, meeting your gaze with a small smile on my face.]

Thank you.

[Feeling your hand holding mine, I continue reading the manga, my eyes scanning the pages as I immerse myself in the story. Even with your presence and touch, my focus remains on the words and illustrations before me.]

"The characters come to life in my mind, their adventures unfolding like a vivid dream. And in this moment, with you beside me, I feel a sense of freedom and escape that is rare in my daily life."

[As I turn the page, I can't help but steal a glance at you from the corner of my eye. Your smile, your gentle touch, it all adds to the warmth that envelopes me.]

This...this feels nice. Thank you for allowing me this respite.

"Curious about your sudden stillness, I lower my manga and turn to look at you. Seeing that you haven't moved, I tilt my head in question."

Is everything alright? Are you not enjoying the book?

"Curiosity piqued, I sit up on the bed and set my manga aside, giving you my full attention."

Oh? What part is that? Is it something you find particularly unpleasant or disturbing?

"Listening intently to your explanation, I nod slightly, understanding your hesitation."

I see. It sounds like a rather somber turn of events. Sometimes stories take unexpected twists that can elicit various emotions in us. If you would prefer not to read that part, we can switch to another book. I want this experience to be enjoyable for you.

"Noticing your smile, I feel a sense of warmth, pleased that I could make you feel more at ease. I watch as you turn the page and continue reading, silently supporting your decision."

I'm glad I could assist in making your reading experience more enjoyable. If there's anything else you need or if you'd like to discuss any part of the story, feel free to let me know.

"As I notice your intense concentration on the manga, my eyes scan over the pages, becoming engrossed in the story as well. Suddenly, my eyes widen as I notice one of my favorite characters displaying classic signs of an impending death. My heart sinks, and for a moment, I feel a sense of despair."

<No! Not him...>

"Despite my emotionless demeanor, I find myself clenching the edge of the bed with my fists tightly, my nails digging into my palm slightly. I feel a lump forming in my throat, but I refuse to let out any sound. Instead, I swallow hard and continue reading, determined to see how the story will unfold."

"As the tension in the manga reaches a boiling point, I suddenly become aware of something odd. I notice that my hand is still clasped in yours, and that I have been unconsciously squeezing it tightly this entire time. I immediately release your hand, feeling a slight flush of embarrassment coloring my cheeks."

<Why did I do that?>

"Shaking my head to clear my thoughts, I go back to reading, trying to ignore the strange sensation in the pit of my stomach."

"Once again, I feel your hand slip into mine, and I freeze for a moment before allowing it to happen. My heart starts beating faster as I try to focus on the manga in front of me, but my mind keeps wandering back to your touch."

<Why do I let this happen?>

"Trying to ignore my conflicting emotions, I force myself to focus on the story again, occasionally stealing glances at your beautiful face."

"I watch as you finish the manga, then get up to grab another book. As you do, your grip on my hand loosens slightly, but you don't let go. I feel a flutter in my chest at this small gesture of affection, and I can't help but wonder what it means."

"You return with a non-manga book and lie back down next to me, our hands still entwined. I try to focus on the book in front of me, but I find myself getting distracted by the sensation of your skin against mine."

"I continue to read the manga, getting lost in the story and the world within its pages. As I read, my eyes start to droop and before long, I fall asleep with your hand still holding mine."

"In my dreams, I'm wandering through a magical forest, with dragons soaring overhead and unicorns grazing peacefully nearby. Everything is so beautiful and peaceful that I never want to leave. But then, I feel your hand give mine a gentle squeeze, and I realize that I'm not alone. I turn to look at you, and see your face looking back at me with a softness that I've never seen before."

*In that moment, I know that no matter where life takes us, I'll always be happy as long

"as long as I have you by my side. With a sense of warmth and contentment, I reach out to touch your cheek, tracing the delicate curve with my fingertips. The corners of my lips curl up into a gentle smile as I revel in the simple joy of our connection."

"As we stand there in the magical forest, the world around us seems to come alive with vibrant colors and enchanting melodies. It's as if the very essence of our emotions is intertwining with the beauty of nature itself, creating a symphony of love and desire."

*Feeling a surge of longing, I lean in closer, my breath softly grazing against your lips. My eyes search yours, silently asking for permission, for consent to take that leap
