Chapter 36: The Lap Pillow and Dozing Off

(He really fell asleep…)

Yui looked down at Yuuki’s face as he slept peacefully in her lap.

At first, I said it as a joke, but one thing led to another and Yuuki took over the situation.

Now that my head cooled down a bit, I realized that it would be very bad if our classmates or acquaintances saw us in this situation.

It looked like we were completely oblivious.

When I looked around, I saw various figures: a grandpa, a grandpa and grandchildren, a grandma and a grandpa.

At a glance, there seems to be no problem with who frequents this place. It’s not somewhere that young men and women would come on a day off.

It seems unlikely that we’ll run into anyone I know here.

Could it be that he brought me here for this reason…? For a moment, I suspected something ridiculous, but quickly concluded that this wasn’t the case when I saw his unusually happy sleeping face.

“He sleeps like a baby. Should I take a picture?”

With that in mind, I reach for my bag that had my phone in it, but I stop, thinking that moving would wake him up.

There’s no need to pay that much attention to him, but there’s a strange atmosphere in the profile of his repeated quiet breathing that’s hard to disturb.

(I think it’s cute…)

If he keeps quiet like this, he’s harmless. It’s peaceful.

As I watch his sleeping face, a strange feeling arises in me. Almost as if I want to stroke his head and gently rub his back.

My heart began to naturally pound, and I subconsciously reached for his head, but just before touching it, I came back to reality and stopped.

If that happened, there would be no excuse.

I don’t know if I could say, “I patted you because you were so cute,” in my usual tone of voice.

(Come to think of it, I’m a bit sleepy too…)

He suddenly asked for a bit.

It was a pretend date to fool his sister, but it’s still a date.

I was thinking about this and that last night, and couldn’t fall asleep.

It wasn’t a good idea to talk to my sister about the date because of the suddenness.

There there so many things that didn’t happen that it even seemed like a horrible ritual.

(Well, I was fooled. Damnit.)

It was actually fun coming here. I felt like I was on cloud nine. I’m sure anyone would be able to feel my heart beating.

When my throbbing heartbeat gradually settled down over time, a fierce bout of sleepiness came over me as if I was dragged into Yuuki’s sleeping face.

Even the surroundings were sleep-inducing.

Yui fought the sleepiness for a while while staring at Yuuki’s sleeping face with half-closed eyes, but at some point, her head started to lower.

_______________________________________________________________

I woke up and was flabbergasted.

As soon as I lifted my head, which had been resting on something, I heard a voice in my ear.

“Ah, you’re awake.”

Of course, by the time I realized it, it was too late.

Before I knew it, Yuuki was awake and sitting on the bench normally.

And I was leaning on his shoulder while sleeping.

As soon as I realized that, my sleepiness was blown away instantly.

Yui blushed and closed in on Yuuki’s chest. [T/N: It sounds like she buried her face in his chest, go Yui!]

“W-why didn’t you wake me up right away?!”

“I thought it was a shame to wake you up. You looked cute while sleeping.”

He laughed at me and I could feel my face start to burn even more.

It felt like all the blood in my body was gathering at my face.

“Hey, how long have you been sleeping? How long!?”

“For a while, I guess. I thought it was kind of soft and I woke up, your chest was on top of me. You smelled good and I thought I was lucky, but I was in pain…”

“Wait, wait wait, I know now. Don’t say another word.”

I felt humiliated as he kept talking.

It seemed that I fell asleep in such a grand manner, I fell forward and pressed my bust against his face to wake him up.

I don’t remember the details from then, but seeing that the sun was already starting to set, I guess I had been sleeping soundly for a while.

This was a mess. If Maki knew, she would probably beat me up.

“S-sorry. I didn’t mean to fall asleep…”

“I was the one who slept first. It was a date, but we both just slept. Haha.”

Yuuki didn’t get angry or blame Yui, but just said so and smiled.

He spoke in the same relaxed tone as always, and gently warmed her chest. A breath of relief escaped Yui.

Yui immediately regained her composure and laughed together with him.

_______________________________________________________________

After Yui woke up and settled down, Yuuki stood up. “It’s time we get going,” he said.

They walked out of the park and took the bus back to the nearest station.

Just as the bus was about to arrive at the station, Yui, who sat next to me, said, “What should we do now?” and made eye contact with me.

When I checked the time, it was somehow just about five o’clock in the evening.

“Mizuna should be home by now, so I thought I’d grab some dinner.”

Yui was going to go home by train, so we were going to say goodbye when we got off the bus.

I suddenly thought back to the fact that it would be bad to decide on my own.

“is that okay?”

“Eh? I-I don’t really have anything to do with that…”

Yui was surprisingly passive and didn’t insist on anything the way Mizuna does.

As I was thinking that, I suddenly remembered Mizuna forcibly pulling on Yui’s hand.

It seemed like a bit of a waste to part ways like this.

“If it’s not too late, will you come eat dinner with us? It’s rare for Mizuna to talk to others on her own like that, so she’d probably be happy to have Yui come over.”

“Eh?”

With a surprised look on her face, Yui seemed a little lost as she said, “Ummm…”

“Well, if you’re gonna go that far, I can’t help it I guess~!”

Feeling good, Yuuki immediately sent a LINE message to Mizuna saying, [I’ll buy dinner and then go home.]

Then we headed to a gyudon restaurant in the station. [T/N: Gyudon]

Mizuna was a big fan of this one when I bought some food the other day.

When we got to the front, I looked at the menu and called Mizuna to ask her what she’d like.

But no matter how many calls I made, she didn’t answer, and then I get redirected to the answering machine.

The LINE message I sent earlier wasn’t read, so she was probably asleep at home.

So I bought three portions, including Yui’s portion, and headed home.

I didn’t want to be troubled so I talked to Yui about any questions Mizuna might ask as we headed home.

When I unlocked the door and went inside, the light didn’t seem to be on.

I passed through the front door, wondering if she was still sleeping, and immediately noticed something odd.

Mizuna’s shoes, which she always wore outside, were missing.

“Mizuna-chan isn’t home yet?”

“Seems like it.”

At any rate, I went into the living room to unpack my bags and called her again, but she still didn’t answer.

When I went to open LINE, my phone vibrated and a message arrived as I was about to open the app.

[I’m gonna be late because I’m out with my friends.]

The text said. After that, my phone went silent.

Yuuki put the phone away and turned towards Yui.

“Sorry, but I’m gonna head out for a moment.”

“What? Where?”

“Sorry, but can you stay here? When Mizuna gets home, call me. If you’re hungry, go ahead and eat.”

When I told her so one-sidedly, I left the bewildered Yui and ran out of the house.

When I went out of the apartment, the sun had completely set and it was unexpectedly dark outside.

Naturally, he started to sprint, and Yuuki looked around and went down the alley where the streetlights lit up.

He headed to a nearby park. Then the supermarket. Then the convenience store.

He looked around for a while, but there was no signs of Mizuna.

There weren’t many more places I could think of.

In the first place, there was never a situation where she would be out alone at this time.

If there’s anything else, it would be the anime store three stations away.

It’s hard to think that I would be going there by train alone.

Despite that, Yuuki ran to the station where he just arrived with Yui and took the train.

Out of breath, he came to the station and looked around the area and inside the station.

It seemed ridiculous to spot her in a crowd of people in a place I didn’t know, but I moved my body regardless.

As I walked back and forth through the station at random, I noticed the time on the wall clock and noticed that it was almost 8 o’clock.

It was getting late. It would be a good idea to head back to the apartment.

When he opened the door of his house, Yui came out to the doorway with a casual expression.

It was obvious that Mizuna hadn’t come back yet.

As if she had figured out what was going on, a worried look appeared on Yui’s face.

“Yuuki-kun, you have to wipe your sweat off…”

“It’s late, and Yui should be heading home soon. I’ll walk you to the station.”

“But Mizuna-chan…”

“It’s fine. I’ll see you off and go straight to the police.”

“P-police? Oh, I see…”

I left the house with a stuttering Yui.

And just as they were about to walk out of the door to the building, a shadow that entered the building with great force hit Yuuki’s upper arm.
