Chapter 118: Invitation to the Banquet
Sunday morning greeted Tokyo with a clear blue sky.
Accustomed to waking up early due to the demands of her job as a maid, Hayasaka was already awake before the sun was fully high.
*TAP!* *TAP!* *TAP!*
With hurried steps, she headed to the bathroom, clutching the pregnancy test she had bought with an anxious face.
The image of the pharmacist's slightly suppressed smile when she mentioned the item replayed in her mind.
"Never did I imagine I'd be buying this so early..."
Her embarrassment was so great that Hayasaka felt like finding a hole and hiding in it forever.
"How could I, a high school girl, be buying a pregnancy test?" The thought had been bothering her all night.
Inside the quiet bathroom, Hayasaka locked the door. With slightly trembling hands, she lowered her pants and panties, then sat on the toilet. Her heart pounded as she wet the test stick with her flowing urine.
Now, all she could do was wait. The minutes felt like they were dragging on, filled with anxious anticipation.
"Please be negative."
