When I Woke Up, Next to Me Was...

p1
>When I woke up in the morning,
>I was in an unfamiliar room.
>...

>Where...
>am I!?

>L-Last I recall, I was at a drinking party last night...
>Yay~
>I don't remember what happened after that...
>D-Did I do something...!?

>!!

>Wh-Who's that...?

>Eep!!

p2
>I-It's a girl...!!

>Thank goodness! I'm glad for that at least! But who is she?
>U--Um, I...!

>Hya!

>Eh? Wha? Hey.

p3
>Waaaah! What? Wait! I'm sorry...

>...Glasses.
>Huh?

>Wh-Where did I put my glasses?
>Eh?
>Ah...

>A-Are these your glasses?
>Oh, thanks.

>...Ah.

>Tanaka-san...!?
>Good morning, Chiba-san.

p4
>Tanaka Rio, a girl from the same university department.
>How are you feeling?

>She's always so focused on her lessons that we haven't really talked much...
>Here's some water.
>So we're not that close... or so I thought.
>Th-Thanks.

>This isn't a simple case of sleeping over at someone's house. (I don't even know this place to begin with.)
>H-Hey, um...
>And it's not like we were together when drinking last night, right...?
>I, uh... don't remember much about last night...
>Eh?
>My head really hurts...

>...You don't remember?
>Eh!?

>So you don't remember.
>Eh... Um... Eh!?

p5
>Hmm.
>...

>Just kidding.

>I happened to spot you on the way back from my part-time job last night.
>You were totally drunk and it looked like some guys were trying to take you somewhere.
>Fweh!?

>Was I interfering too much?
>No! Y-You're a lifesaver!

p6
>So anyway, your bag's over there, so check your purse and phone.
>Your clothes were creased so I threw them in the wash.
>I-It's really piling up...
>...

>Tanaka-san.
>She always seemed unsociable at college, but she's surprisingly diligent...
>She even brought home someone like me who isn't close to her at all...
>>Phrasing

>I didn't notice it before, but her boobs are pretty huge...

>What?
>No, it's nothing!

>...Chiba-san, are you always that defenseless when you go out drinking?
>Heh!?

>N-No! Last night, I just, uh, didn't get much sleep cos of the tests.
>Hmm

p7
>Hey, you're the one who asked! Show some interest!
>Ah.

>I've gotta go to my part-time job today.
>You can go ahead and sleep if you've got nowhere to be, Chiba-san.

>No, no! The home owner can't just leave me here!
>It's fine. Having a two day hangover is painful, right?

>I'll go home to-...

>Fwaah...
>Woah.

>Come on. Don't push yourself.
>Uuh... I'm sorry...

p8
>Here, take this.
>...
>Huh?
>A key.

>A-A key!?
>Yeah. I'm gonna be back late today, so lock up when you go home.

>No, no, no, no! The home owner can't just leave me here!
>>Second time
>? Don't worry, I've got a key of my own.

>That's not the issue here...
>You can just give the key back on Monday. If you're hungry, there's some fish in the fridge.

p9
>Well, you don't have to return it, though?

>Later.

>...

>...Wh-

>Who's the defenseless one here!?

p10
>Omake

>The next day.
>I've had my first overnight stay and my first spare key all in one fell swoop...
>And from a girl, no less...
>Ah, Chiba~

>I hear you stayed at Tanaka-san's place on Friday?
>Aah, y-yeah...

>She let me stay over when I went out drinking too~
>I missed the last train
>Eh?
>Me too! Her house is close to the college after all~
>She's so kind~
>Eh?
>Eh?

>I have no idea what's going on,
>but damn.

>T-Tanaka-san!
>Good morning, Chiba-san.

>Thanks for letting me stay over... B-But...
>Y-You're the one who's defenseless for lending spare keys to just about anyone!
>Aah.

>You're the only one I've given a spare key to, Chiba-san.

>Eh...?
>So simple...
