After waking up in the morning, Mochizuki found a thin blanket covering him, with a faint fragrance, which must have belonged to someone.
Mochizuki found it strange; he didn't have a blanket when he fell asleep last night. Who covered him?
Also, the sofa in a rich family's home is really comfortable; sleeping on it is no different from sleeping in a bed.
After waking up, Mochizuki's body didn't feel the slightest discomfort.
Unlike the sofa at his house, which left his whole body stiff after waking up.
Mochizuki took out his phone and checked the time; it was already around eight o'clock.
Then Mochizuki also heard the sounds of cooking coming from the kitchen, along with the aroma of food, guessing that Nino might be up making breakfast.
The other sisters must still be sleeping in at this time.
Immediately after, Nino also came out carrying hot porridge and saw Mochizuki, who had woken up.
The blanket on Mochizuki was naturally placed by her. After getting up in the morning, seeing Mochizuki sleeping on the sofa made her feel strange; shouldn't he have slept in Miku's room?
Worried that Mochizuki might catch a cold, Nino went back to her room, got a blanket, and covered him with it.
"Is this yours?"
Mochizuki picked up the blanket and asked. Nino nodded gently, then said in confusion:
"Why are you sleeping on the sofa?"
"Thank you." Mochizuki was a little touched, not expecting Nino, who was still angry about him looking at her legs yesterday, would still care about him, her cousin.
"Miku went back to her room in the middle of the night, so I could only sleep here."
"Oh."
Nino didn't probe further. Mochizuki was sleeping on the sofa; what else could have happened?
"Go brush your teeth and wash your face quickly, then wake them up."
"Huh! I'm going to call them?"
"Yes, I haven't finished making breakfast yet!"
"Okay!"
Mochizuki felt the task was a bit daunting, but he still agreed.
...
Returning upstairs, Mochizuki first went to May's door. After all, he had already gone to May's room last night to help her with tutoring.
Besides, May loves to eat so much, so let's wake May up first.
He knocked on the door, but there was no response, so Mochizuki had no choice but to push the door open.
"I'm coming in, May," Mochizuki muttered to himself.
After entering the room, he saw May sleeping soundly, hugging her blanket, seemingly dreaming of eating a feast.
Shaking May didn't get much of a reaction.
"Don't steal... my steamed buns..."
Mochizuki quietly leaned in and whispered in her ear, "May, if you don't get up now, the breakfast will be eaten up."
Hearing this, May quickly opened her eyes, which startled Mochizuki instead.
Then, seeing Mochizuki in her room, May was also startled.
"I came to wake you up to eat."
"Oh!"
May responded happily. Hearing that she could eat, May's movements were quite quick.
Mochizuki also quickly exited May's room and went to knock on Yotsuba's door.
Yotsuba, on the other hand, responded, saying she was up and would come down right away.
"Hmm, Yotsuba is still reliable."
Meanwhile, May, who had gone downstairs, found that she was the first one woken up and breakfast wasn't ready yet, and she was venting her dissatisfaction with Mochizuki in her heart.
Arriving at Miku's door, Mochizuki decided to skip Miku for now.
Then, arriving at Ichika's door, there was also no response to his knocking, so Mochizuki could only push the door open.
After entering Ichika's room, Mochizuki was a little surprised.
Because Ichika's room was too messy, it could rival his former living room.
Various items were not neatly arranged, and there were a few scattered pieces of clothing on the floor.
Mochizuki helped Ichika pick up the clothes and put them on a chair.
Then he stepped forward, preparing to wake up Ichika, who was wrapped in her blanket.
"Ichika, wake up."
...
"Ichika."
"Ichika."
Mochizuki's voice gradually increased, as did the force of his shaking.
Ichika reluctantly opened her eyes, saw it was Mochizuki, and closed them again.
"No, I'm so sleepy."
Ichika reached out and felt beside her, finding that Miku seemed to be gone, thinking she must have gotten up and left already.
"No, Nino said you can get up and eat."
"No, unless..."
"Unless what?"
Mochizuki shook Ichika through the blanket again, afraid she would fall asleep again.
"You carry me downstairs.
Ichika said with a playful smile.
Mochizuki naturally couldn't carry Ichika down, but planned to grab the sleepy Ichika and pull her up.
Mochizuki reached his hand towards Ichika's back, preparing to pull her up.
Ichika, thinking Mochizuki was going to carry her up, cooperated by sitting up and bending her legs.
As a result, the blanket just slid off, and Mochizuki saw Ichika...
This startled Mochizuki, and he thought of the clothes on the floor.
She couldn't have...
Mochizuki quickly turned around to avoid making a big mistake.
"You're not... not wearing clothes, are you!"
"Yes, I'm definitely wearing them..."
Ichika's slightly teasing voice came.
Mochizuki breathed a sigh of relief; that's good then.
"Hurry up and get out of bed."
"No, you carry me down."
Then Ichika reached out her hands, trying to grab Mochizuki from behind.
Mochizuki couldn't dodge in time.
"How can I? You're not wearing clothes!"
Mochizuki forcefully pulled away Ichika's slender arms.
"Hurry up and put on some clothes first."
"If I put on clothes, will you carry me down?"
"No, not even then."
"Stingy!" Ichika said with dissatisfaction.
Seeing that Ichika was also awake and only thinking of teasing him.
Never mind her, Mochizuki thought it was better to leave quickly and wake up Miku!
Arriving at Miku's door, Mochizuki knocked.
"Miku, are you awake? Breakfast is ready."
He quickly received a response. Miku opened the door and walked out.
"Mm."
Seeing Miku, as always, wearing her headphones and with a blank expression.
Not mentioning how she got back to her room, Mochizuki decided to also remain silent to avoid awkwardness for both of them.
At the dining table.
The other sisters, who were unaware.
"Miku, why are your dark circles so deep today? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"It must be because Ichika's sleeping posture is too bad and disturbed Miku."
"What? Besides not wearing clothes, where is my sleeping posture bad? I'm not Yotsuba."
...
Mochizuki ate his breakfast without saying a word.
Miku lowered her head and bit into her bread, not knowing if she was asleep or not.
Nino glanced at Miku, then glanced at Mochizuki, and chose to keep the secret.
After finishing breakfast, Mochizuki said goodbye to The Five Sisters and left for home.
After returning home, Mochizuki first took a shower and changed into clean clothes.
He checked the time and saw it was still early, deciding to go to the bookstore to buy books in the afternoon.
At this time, it was Mochizuki's turn to want to call Yamada Elf and the others to play games.
But Mochizuki @-ed several times with no response. It seemed those two were still catching up on sleep.
Mochizuki could only play by himself alone.
