Huh?

Upon returning to the student dorms after his daily jog, Ikki Kurogane found a half-naked girl in his room. Her bright red, naturally wavy hair licked her body like a flame. Her ruby-red eyes, just one of her gorgeous, foreign-looking features, were wide with shock at the sudden intrusion. Her pale skin, white as the winter’s first snow, contrasted perfectly with the bits of black lace she wore.

She’s beautiful. That was the only thing running through Ikki’s mind. Her beauty, reminiscent of artistic depictions of goddesses, left no room in his mind for impure thoughts. He was captivated. Wait, but why is a girl like her in my room? Am I in the wrong room?!

Room 405 in the first dormitory, a mere thirty square feet with a bunk bed, was definitely Ikki’s. In other words, she was the one who’d gone into the wrong room.

“Ah,” she squeaked, barely able to make a sound. A long inhale followed shortly after.

This is bad, he thought. If she screams, I have no way of explaining this. I’ll be done for.

“Hold it!” Ikki exclaimed. “I know exactly what you’re thinking. I’m not going to make excuses or pretend I didn’t see what I saw.”

He intentionally avoided making mention of who was really at fault for the tragedy. For a girl his age to be seen in such a way by a man she’d never met would certainly be painful; that much he knew. The only manly recourse was to try to help out.

“I’ll strip too. That way, we’ll be even!”

“Nooooo! Get away from me, you dooooog!”

Her scream shattered the morning silence, piercing even the heavens.

Of course…
