I wake up. Before I knew it, the sky, which had been bright, had been painted black.
“…Are you awake?”
Suddenly, I hear the voice of an angel.
I looked up at the ceiling to see who it was. There was Kotoha, smilingly watching over me.
…It was. I come back to full consciousness. I’m not sure what soft thing I have my head on right now, but it’s definitely her thighs!
In other words, her lap is now my personal pillow. Soaking in that fact, I went to—
Unexpectedly it smelled incredibly good. It is definitely a secure scent that Kotoha will have.
Is this the smell coming from her thighs? Or is it coming from her beautiful silver hair? Curious, I put my sense of smell to full use to find the source!
If I try to find the source, I get a shout-out from Kotoha. I weigh my quarry.
But why does Kotoha smell so good? I’ve been doing the “sniffing Kotoha without being noticed” thing quite often, but it’s still a mystery to me.
And if I indulged in my thoughts forever, I might get in trouble with Kotoha. I felt a sense of regret, but I persevered, believing that the day would come when I could have her do it again.
“Kotoha, what time is it?”
When I asked her to cover up her mood, she changed her expression and gave me a mischievous look.
“Don’t be surprised to hear, …It’s already 20:00.”
…For a moment, I didn’t know what they said. I was sleeping until that time? She hadn’t been able to move during that time, so that must have been hard for her.
“What? …Kotoha, could it be that dinner is ready…?”
When I asked, Kotoha lowered her eyebrows apologetically.
“I’m sorry, I can’t. I didn’t want to wake up Tsuzuri-kun who was sleeping comfortably. It’s been quite a while since I thought of that.”
I couldn’t help but feel my glands relax at the thought of her kindness. …So, for the past few hours, she had sacrificed her time just for me to sleep in her lap. I am impressed by her compassionate heart and kindness.
Kotoha did nothing wrong at all. I speak to her to reassure her.
“No, it’s nothing for Kotoha to apologize for. I’m sorry, I used your lap the whole time. Does it hurt?”
I ask, and she replies.
“No, …it’ s a little numb, but it’s no problem at all.”
You say that, but I’ve been watching her for …… long enough to know. I know that she is a skinny girl. I’m going to tell you right now that I don’t want you to overdo it.
“Kotoha, don’t overdo it. You look tired and I’ll make it this time.”
“No … but”
“‘Then this is my request, my selfishness. Just rest for now.”
I’m not going to give in at all. It’s all my fault, and it shouldn’t be good for her to push herself any further.
When I speak in a strong tone…
“‘Well, I’ll take your word for it… Please.”
Kotoha was convinced and sent me a cute smile.
I’m not sure I can make it as good as Kotoha’s, but I’ll do my best to make it for her for letting me sleep in. That’s what I thought.
After a while.
“Kotoha, dinner’s ready.
I called Kotoha, but she didn’t respond. I got a little worried and went to check on her. …I knew the answer right away.
“Suu. …… Suu. ……” (TLN: Sleeping SFX)
She was breathing regularly in her sleep. Yeah …, what should I do? If I let her sleep like this, there is a possibility that she won’t wake up until morning.
That’s a bit unacceptable.
So what was my plan? That’s right, the “tickling attack”!
I immediately launched into a “tickling” attack on her.
“Hey, Kotoha. Get up!”
“Hmm …!? Nyaa !?”
“Tickling here and there!”
“Tsu, Tsuzuri-kun !? Nya! Hyan !?”
Kotoha let out a cute voice.
Kotoha was still upset during dinner.
“Muuu …… I didn’t wake you up before!”
“Sorry, but if you keep sleeping like that, you won’t be able to take a bath or eat dinner, will you?”
Even when I say that she keeps her mouth pouting in disapproval.
“I’ll give you that part, but I don’t think you would ever wake me up like that!”
Apparently, she’s pretty upset about my “tickling attack”
“Sorry, I’ll be more careful next time. …but Kotoha’s pretty susceptible to tickling, isn’t she?”
After I said I was sorry. I grinned back and said so…
“Muu, Tsuzuri-kun, I don’t know anymore!”
Then she turns her head away.
Kotoha, who was in a bad mood again, did not respond to my apology.
