Side story 31: Misaki and sleeping Ryo-kun.

When Misaki woke up, she saw something different from her usual ceiling scene.

There’s no shocking soft feeling of the futon, and she couldn’t hear Yui-chan’s “Supiー” sleep breathing sound. Instead she felt a slightly hard and warm sensation. Then comes the soothing scent.

Snuggling snuggling, Misaki glued her cheeks to it.

Snuggling snuggling. Snuggling snuggling…………………… Eh?

Suddenly, Misaki came to her senses.

This warmth, what?

When she slowly looked up, what she saw is Ryo-kun’s face.

And then she remembered.

She came back to Ryo-kun’s place, and then……

Ryo-kun hugs her tightly.

She’s surprised at how much she was spoiled.

“……”

Misaki felt her face getting hotter and hotter.

She panicky slipped out of Ryo-kun’s arm, crawling backward like a cat until she reached the opposite wall.

……Sleeping?

After staring and observing him for a while, Misaki slowly crawls back to Ryo-kun.

“……”

Poke poke.

“……”

Squeeze squeeze.

“…………Un.”

Poking his hand, squeezing his cheek, Misaki is now sure that Ryo-kun won’t wake up within the next thirty minutes.

Up until now Misaki has only ever been watching Ryuusei’s sleeping face. However, from now on it’ll be different. It’s because she knew that even if she acts really spoiled he’ll still accept her. But still acting spoiled when he’s awake is still a little too embarrassing for her.

“……”

This is the chance for her. If it’s right now then she can do this and that, and even things that’s embarrassing for her to talk about.

Gulp.

Slowly, slowly reaching her hand out.

Stop.

Glance.

Alright.

Silently, she touched Ryo-kun’s hand.

Ryo-kun’s still asleep.

Gulp.

Slowly, she starts moving her hand.

Gently moving Ryo-kun’s big hand, Misaki finally succeeded in grasping his thumb!

“……Hihi.”

Misaki felt satisfied.

With her small hand grasping his big thumb, she stares at his sleeping face as she always does.

“……Misaki?”

Suddenly having her name called out, Misaki’s surprised and hurriedly pull her hand away from Ryuusei. In which Ryuusei moves his hand as if to chase after Misaki, but stops immediately after.

Sleep talking. Misaki who was used to it because of Yui-chan recognizes it instantly.

Yui-chan often mumbled the name of the food she wants to eat, so maybe Ryo-kun wants to eat Misaki too. She’s troubled.

But, Yui-chan sometimes mumbled about her mama too. That’s also…… troubled.

“……”

Sneakily.

Misaki tried sitting on his lap.

“Nn!?”

At that moment, both of Ryuusei’s hand pat Misaki’s stomach.

……He’s awake?

Misaki nervously looked up.

He’s still asleep as expected…… is what she thinks.

“……Un.”

Misaki placed her hand on top of Ryuusei’s big hand.

“……”

“……”

It’s very calming, also warm and pleasant.

But she wasn’t attacked by the next of sleepiness.

It’s because she felt like if she sleeps here it’ll be a waste.

Misaki looks in front of her with fluffy feelings.

Suddenly, the piano came into her view.

And then she remembered the mission she was assigned to.

Tararan, tararan.

The great strategy she and Yui-chan came up with has already begun.
