Rolling around~ 8

The sushi arrived.

It would have been a perfect lunch if I wasn't eating it with Sensei.

 

 

 

I put each piece of sushi, topped with various kinds of sashimi, into my mouth.

 

 

 

It was a bit difficult to eat them in one bite because Nito's mouth was so small.

 

 

 

How can her mouth be this small?

Did she undergo reduction surgery?

 

 

 

"Sensei, you eat too."

 

 

 

I urged Sensei to eat with a slightly more familiar polite tone than before.

 

 

 

"Oh, right. I should eat."

 

 

 

I don't know why he always stares at me before eating.

It's creepy.

 

 

 

After eating only a little, I got up from the dining table chair with a full stomach (secretly lamenting it with tears inside).

 

 

 

"...I've eaten well."

 

 

 

Still, I gave a polite farewell.

 

 

 

Now I just have to wait another four hours and I can go home.

 

 

 

My heart still aches when I think about my destroyed house.

 

 

 

That damn president.

After Sensei, she's my number one target to watch out for.

 

 

 

Anyway, I have no idea what to do now.

I've slept so much that I'm not sleepy anymore.

 

 

 

Should I watch Sensei work?

Not bad.

If I just loaf around while he's working hard, Sensei will get annoyed.

 

 

 

"Hehehe..."

 

 

 

I laughed unintentionally at the thought of bothering Sensei.

 

 

 

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

 

 

 

What is she doing?

 

 

 

After finishing the sushi and continuing with my work, Nito came out again.

 

 

 

I wondered what was going on, and she went to the sofa and started lazing around.

 

 

 

Well, it's nice for me to be healed by watching something cute.

But judging by Nito's attitude towards me, she probably has some other motive...

 

 

 

I still don't know.

 

 

 

The cute creature in front of me rolled around, searching for the most comfortable position to lie in.

 

 

 

Or maybe she just wants to roll around.

 

 

 

She occasionally glances at me and even smiles.

 

 

 

...Was there poison in the sushi?

 

 

 

Anyway, I continued my work, feeling recharged.

 

 

 

As I worked and occasionally admired Nito, before I knew it...

Nito's halo turned off.

 

 

 

She must have rolled around a lot if she fell asleep again after sleeping so much.

 

 

 

Nito's characteristic breathing sound when she sleeps resonates out regularly.

 

 

 

Nito's body rises and falls in perfect sync with the rhythm of her breathing.

 

 

 

Since I'm processing work faster than usual, I can see her more closely.

 

 

 

She's a cute kid when I see her like this, but I don't understand why she's so harsh with me.

 

 

 

I approached Nito with only one task left to do.

 

 

Is she having a good dream?

The corners of her happy mouth show no sign of coming down.

 

 

 

Stretch-

 

 

 

"Oh..."

 

 

 

"Hehe..."

 

 

 

I subconsciously pulled her cheek.

 

 

 

...It stretches really well.

 

Ahem! I shouldn't be doing this, I need to finish the last task.

 

"Arona, what's the last task?"

 

 

 

-It's a request!

 

 

 

"What kind of request?"

 

 

 

-Well... They want you to take on a student at Schale...

 

 

 

A student?

Take on? What does that mean?

 

 

 

-Um... They said they'll send the student to Schale by 2:30 PM next Monday. They'll tell you what to do then.

 

 

 

Hmm...

 

 

 

"Do I have any free time next Monday?"

 

 

 

-You don't have any free time! But if it's just taking them on, wouldn't you be able to do it?

 

 

 

I suppose so.

 

 

 

"Fuuunyaaam..."

 

 

 

Nito made a strange sound.

 

 

 

Well, it doesn't matter.

I'll manage somehow.

 

 

 

After easily finishing the last task, I had some free time.

Should I play a Gacha game that I haven't been able to log into lately because I've been so busy?

But before that, I should wake up the girl who's sleeping like she's in another world.

 

 

 

"Nito~ wake up~."

 

 

 

"Ugh... I'm awake..."

 

 

 

It's not even a conditioned reflex, how can she say she's awake while still sleeping?

 

 

 

"Get up quickly~ it's 7 o'clock~."

 

 

 

I shook Nito's body.

Her head wobbled along with the shaking.

 

 

 

"...Huh?"

 

 

 

Nito woke up, making a dazed sound.

 

 

 

Her sleepy eyes, not fully awake, met mine.

 

 

 

"Get..."

 

 

 

"Hmm?"

 

 

 

"Get off!!!"

 

 

 

"Gah?!"

 

 

 

My body was momentarily airborne.

 

 

 

"Ugh..."

 

 

 

Ah, my ribs.

Nito's punch landed squarely. It hurts like crazy.

 

 

 

"Huh, huh? Ar-are you okay?"

 

 

 

Honestly, I'm not okay.

Anyway, seeing Nito's speech revert to casual language, she must be really flustered.

 

 

 

"I'm fine..."

 

 

 

Still, I answered that I was fine.

 

 

 

"Too bad..."

 

 

 

Nito mumbled something.

She spoke too softly for me to hear.

 

 

 

"Hmm?"

 

 

 

"Ah, it's nothing..."

 

The forced polite speech started again.

 

"What time is it now...?"

 

"It's probably around 6:40."

 

"Huh?"

 

A look of undeniable bewilderment appeared on Nito's face.

 

Nito jumped up from the sofa.

 

"Goodbye."

 

It was the first time she succeeded in using flawless polite speech.

 

Tap tap tap-

 

Nito walked away with quick steps.

 

As expected, she got stuck at the door and asked me for help with a sad face.

 

"Goodbye~."

 

I waved my hand to the silent girl's back.

 

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

 

Ugh... Why did I fall asleep there...!

The sofa was unexpectedly comfortable, and I dozed off, only to find that four hours had passed.

 

To think I showed Sensei my defenseless sleeping face!

 

"@%#&%@#"

 

I ran home making strange noises out of shame.
