The next day, May 3rd, the third day of the holiday. It was around eight in the morning. Shiina Mahiru gradually woke up from her sleep, slowly opening her closed eyes.
Perhaps because she was so tired yesterday, Shiina Mahiru woke up later than usual today; at home, she usually gets up before 7 o'clock.
What came into Shiina Mahiru's sight was a ceiling similar to her own room, but slightly different, her face showing a bit of confusion as she barely kept her eyes open.
Then she felt the comfort of the mattress was different from usual, along with an unfamiliar blanket and an atmosphere that didn't belong to her room… Shiina Mahiru was so startled that she immediately sat up from the bed, feelings of tension, fear, and confusion surging within her.
First, she glanced at herself; her clothes were still on, and there was nothing unusual about her body, which made Shiina Mahiru slightly relieved.
She rubbed her blurry eyes, then carefully looked around, finding no one else present.
Then she realized this was Mochizuki's room.
Shiina Mahiru gradually calmed down, but her confusion didn't lessen, and her mind began to recall what had happened last night.
Last night, after dinner.
She sat on the sofa and chatted with Mochizuki about the amusement park, and shared some photos she had taken.
And then… then she felt a bit sleepy and closed her eyes for a while.
Just as she was about to leave, she seemed to have fallen asleep.
Next, her memory was interrupted, and the next memory was the one after she woke up, which was now.
Shiina Mahiru realized that Mochizuki-kun had probably carried her to his room to rest after seeing her fall asleep.
Then where did Mochizuki go to sleep?
She had been too careless!
She had actually spent the night at a boy's house and slept on Mochizuki-kun's bed.
How did it feel a little exciting?
Thankfully, thankfully it was Mochizuki-kun, not a bad person.
However, this was too embarrassing; how was she going to face him next?
Shiina Mahiru seemed to be so shy she wanted to hide, gripping the blanket tightly with her fingers, then she couldn't help but pick up the blanket to cover her face, her body trembling slightly, as if she was thinking about what to do next.
Through the gap in the hair by her ear, her flushed ears could be seen, and it was unclear what Shiina Mahiru was thinking.
Then Shiina Mahiru's small nose sniffed the scent of the boy on the blanket again, making her head feel a bit muddled.
She couldn't go on like this; Shiina Mahiru quickly got up, threw off the blanket, and adjusted her breathing.
Perhaps leaving the warm bed made her feel a sense of regret deep down, and her body seemed to be fighting to lie down for a little longer.
Shiina Mahiru quietly walked to the living room and saw Mochizuki sound asleep on the sofa, with his phone placed on the floor.
Tiptoeing forward, Shiina Mahiru's heart constantly expressed her apology to Mochizuki, while praying that Mochizuki wouldn't wake up at this moment.
She gently picked up Mochizuki's phone and placed it on the table.
At this moment, the phone screen lit up, seemingly due to receiving an advertisement push.
Shiina Mahiru saw that the phone screen indicated there were unread messages on Line, and the name seemed to be a girl's.
Although she was curious, even though she was very curious, Shiina Mahiru's strong self-control made her choose not to peek, but to flip the phone over.
Then she helped Mochizuki cover himself with the blanket again, as half of it had already fallen to the floor.
Looking at Mochizuki's sleeping face, Shiina Mahiru couldn't help but reach out and touch him.
"So this is what a boy's hair feels like."
Seeing that Mochizuki still showed no signs of waking up, Shiina Mahiru couldn't resist pulling at it twice more.
Of course, Mochizuki wouldn't wake up so easily; Izumi Sagiri had kept him company, chatting until very late last night, and they didn't fall asleep until around three or four in the morning.
Even sleeping on the limited and not very comfortable sofa, he slept very soundly.
Shiina Mahiru guiltily withdrew her hand and decided to go home first; if Mochizuki woke up, she would really be too embarrassed to face him right now.
... Without anyone disturbing him, Mochizuki naturally slept until almost noon.
After waking up, Mochizuki's hand instinctively reached up to pinch his neck, feeling the soreness in that area.
It seemed he had a stiff neck, or rather, there was no pillow last night.
His waist was also sore, and his back was quite stiff too… well!
After all, he was sleeping on the sofa, there was nothing he could do; he would catch up on sleep in the afternoon.
Mochizuki checked the time; it was already eleven o'clock, and he walked to his room to check.
As expected, Shiina Mahiru had already woken up and left, and the blanket was neatly folded for him.
Mochizuki breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, if Shiina Mahiru were still there, he wouldn't know how to wake her up and explain the situation.
Soon after, Shiina Mahiru came over to make lunch.
"Good morning, Shiina."
"Last night…" Mochizuki was about to start explaining.
"You don't need to say it, I already know."
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault for carelessly falling asleep!"
Then, Shiina Mahiru bowed respectfully, which startled Mochizuki; he had been afraid that Shiina Mahiru might misunderstand and blame him.
"It's okay, it's okay… I should have woken you up!"
... After that, the two of them tacitly didn't mention the matter again.
And during the meal, Shiina Mahiru was shy on one hand, and on the other hand, perhaps feeling guilty because she had secretly touched Mochizuki's hair in the morning, she was too embarrassed to speak.
