Otonari no Tenshi-sama ni Itsunomanika Dame Ningen ni Sareteita Ken (The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten)

What are you doing out here?

Fujimiya-san.

Can I help you with something?

That was the first time.

That was the first time I talked to Mahiru Shiina.

Meet the Angel

No, I don't need anything.

It's just, if you sit out here in the rain like this, people are gonna worry.

Is that right? Well, I appreciate your concern,

but I'm here by choice, so please don't trouble yourself over me.

You'll catch a cold. Go home with this.

I don't need it back.

Thank you. Very... much.

Seijo High School

Amane, keep it down.

Weren't you fine yesterday, man?

I got caught in the rain.

That's not so bad.

But wait, didn't you have an umbrella?

I gave it to someone.

You lent your umbrella to someone when it was pouring?

When did you become such a softie?

Who'd you lend it to?

A lost girl I passed on the way.

Well, aren't you nice.

That's right.

She looked like she was lost.

Good morning, Shiina-san!

Good morning.

Hey, hey, Shiina-san, listen to this.

Sure. What is it?

The angel. She's super angelic today.

Yeah.

An angel.

That's what everyone at school calls Mahiru Shiina.

She's attractive and graceful,

gets excellent grades,

First Year

2. Rika Aizawa 1142 pts.

8. Satoshi Ichijo 900 pts.

9. Ryoichi Hara 871 pts.

and her test scores are top of the class.

And she's even good at sports.

But she's still humble and modest.

She's that kind of angel, so of course she's popular.

I'm sure most of the guys in class want to date her.

But that's a world I'm not part of.

Don't you wish you had a girlfriend to take care of you?

Shut up.

Chitose Shirakawa

Wanna come over tonight?

Quit bragging about having one.

This isn't good at all.

You didn't need to bring it back.

Of course I'm going to return what I borrowed.

Um, you look like you have a fever.

That's none of your business.

But you lent me your umbrella...

You didn't ask me to. It doesn't matter.

Yes, it does!

You caught a cold because I was sitting there.

Forget about it already.

You don't need to worry about me.

Fujimiya

B-But I...

Just drop it. See yo—

I can't leave you alone like this.

I'm going to repay the favor.

I'm coming in.

I hope you'll excuse me, but there's no other way.

I can't bear to look at this.

I'm going to step out for a moment, so why don't you get changed before I return.

Will you do that?

You're seriously coming back?

If I leave you alone to doze off like this, you won't sleep well.

Shiina

I'd rather bite off my tongue than tell anyone at school this,

but I started living alone in high school, and in the same apartment complex,

Shiina

literally next door, lives the angel herself.

What time is it?

It's 7 p.m.

You slept for about two hours.

I brought it from home.

Thanks for that.

It's okay.

Do you have an appetite?

Hmm...

Yeah, a little bit.

You do?

I've made some rice porridge, so you should have some.

Huh? Your home cooking, Shiina?

If you don't want it, I'll eat it myself.

Uh, no, I mean, I'll eat it! Please let me!

I'll bring it over, so please take your temperature.

Would you please at least wait until I leave the room?!

Yeah.

I never knew why the other guys kept saying she's so cute,

but I think I'm starting to get it.

What was your temperature?

38.3 degrees.

I'll be fine with medicine and some sleep.

Over-the-counter medicine only treats the symptoms.

You need to get some proper rest

and let your immune system do its job, okay?

Here you go. It shouldn't be too hot.

Thank you.

What is it now?

Do you expect me to feed you?

Huh?

I regret to inform you that is not a service I provide.

Nobody even asked for that.

But...

I'm just impressed that you can cook.

I live alone, so of course I can.

But for you, Fujimiya-san, before learning to cook,

you really should try cleaning your room.

You are quite right.

It's good!

Well, you're welcome.

But rice porridge is basically the same no matter who makes it.

Fujimiya-san?

Uh...

Yeah, never mind.

Hey, can I ask you something?

What is it?

Why were you sitting on that swing in the rain?

Fight with your boyfriend or something?

Huh?

I hate to disappoint you, but I have no boyfriend

and no plans to get one either.

Huh? Why?

I should be asking you.

Why are you assuming that I'm in a relationship?

You're so popular, I was sure you'd have a boyfriend or two.

Well, I don't.

I also don't recall ever having such loose morals

that I'd go out with multiple boys at once.

That would absolutely never happen.

Sorry.

I didn't mean it that way.

I apologize.

No, I'm sorry I got that upset about it.

Anyway, I was just trying to cool my head then.

But I am truly sorry that it resulted in you catching a cold.

Nah, it's fine.

I didn't even ask you first.

You really shouldn't feel guilty about it.

I mean, we're done after this anyway, Shiina.

Huh?

Huh?

Don't tell me you thought I was guilt-tripping you to try to get lucky.

O-Oh.

I bet that's annoying even for you.

If guys you don't even like keep coming on to you.

Well, it is, to be honest.

I knew it.

I don't really care, though.

Actually, it's kind of a relief.

Angels get annoyed by that just like anyone else.

Please stop calling me that!

Well, like I said, I won't be trying to hang around you for no reason.

Starting tomorrow, we're basically strangers again.

Good morning!

I don't want to go to math.

Oh, Amane!

Are you feeling better?

Yeah, thanks a lot.

Yeah, I mean, you looked like a mess. I was getting worried.

I'm glad you're better, though. Just try to get your life together, okay?

Cleaning house, for starters.

You sound just like someone I know.

Huh?

Never mind.

Hey!

Shiina-san, can you please explain this part?

Of course. To solve this one, just go like this.

Wow, I had no idea it was that easy!

Ah, Shiina-san, I see?

Thank you, Shiina-san!

Popular as usual, I guess.

You're very welcome.

She is an angel, after all.

A perfectly neutral observation.

For us, she's completely out of reach, like a far-away dream.

I've got no reason to talk to her. Seeing her around is enough.

What are you eating there?

A jelly drink that replenishes energy in a few seconds.

That can't possibly be your dinner, is it?

What else would it be?
