CH 8

Huh? I came home from club activities, got my allowance and had an early bath and dinner…

I don’t remember much after that.

“Ah.”

The sky seen from the window is a little brighter.

I fell asleep.

I want to check the time, but it’s hard to move because Mirei san is hugging me. I mean, her legs are entwined with mine, and those two big piles are right against me in terms of height.

And she still smells good. It’s the kind of gentle smell I like.

I manage to reach out and do my best to take the phone that is left with the lantern.

“It’s only five o’clock…”

I don’t even know what time she gets up because Mirei san always gets up earlier than me.

It can’t be helped. Even if I couldn’t sleep, I would keep my eyes closed.

I was able to sleep, though it was a shallow sleep.

“Good morning, Masa.”

Mirei san whispers in my ear. I am scared when she does it suddenly. But if she wakes up now, it might be too unnatural.

Let’s wait and see.

I’m curious to know what she’s doing up so early in the morning.

“So cute~”

I feel her patting my head.

“I don’t want to give it to anyone.”

Eh?

“I love you.”

“I don’t know if I should…”

What !?

My heart is racing. It’s no wonder she noticed.

Then she kissed me.

Longer and longer than before.

“I’m sure he didn’t wake up, because once he sleeps, he doesn’t wake up much.”

My head is dizzy. I am confused.

I can imagine…no…from the usual Mirei san

I think she was saying something amazing when I asked her if she wanted to break up with me.

I mean, those weren’t words that came out of a heightened emotional state…

Then I go back to sleep and wake up to a noise. A little later than usual.

“Good morning.”

“Good morning, Mirei san”

“Did you sleep well?”

“Yes. I’m exhausted.”

“I see”

It’s the usual Mirei san

But…

No, I still have evil thoughts.

“I think I’m sweating, so I’m going to take a shower!”

I was not sweating in an air-conditioned room, but I did break out in a cold sweat, so I was not mistaken.

When I came back in the room.

“Wait a minute.”

Mirei san was hurriedly putting away the clothes.

“You don’t have to put them away, do you?”

“I don’t want to show you my clothes until just before the date”

She wanted to make it as date-like as possible.

Indeed, meeting in front of the station was the romantic comedy manga Haruto had been reading.

“How about I leave first and wait for you at the station?” I said.

“I think that’s a good idea.”

She said

Then Mirei san and I had breakfast and I left the house first.
