The Morning of the Second Semester Begins with Rin
“Please get up. It’s morning ~”
“Mmm …”
–Early morning.
Whispering in my ear is the voice of a beautiful girl I was used to hearing during summer vacation.
The situation of being woken up by a beautiful girl may be the most blissful situation to wake up in the morning.
What …… a beautiful girl?
“Rin!?”
“Kya!”
With a cute scream, my consciousness awakens and my thoughts become clear.
At the same time, I jumped up and looked in the direction of the voice to see Rin falling on her bottom in surprise.
My gaze is guided, and in my field of vision I see her in her uniform for the first time in a long time…….
“Sorry, Rin ……. Are you okay?”
I hold out my hand to help Rin up.
Rin, who was blushing, happily took my hand in hers.
However, she immediately looks at me suspiciously for some reason.
“… Hmm? What’s wrong?”
“Um, did you see ………….?”
Yes, today is the first time in a long time that she is in uniform …… I mean, a skirt.
I guess her concern is that she might have seen it on the spur of the moment when she fell on her bottom.
So….
“No, I woke up from sleep and my vision was blurry, so not sure.”
She tilted her head in a nonchalant manner.
I never looked.
I never …… the color of the sky I see outside my window.
“Towa-kun……?”
I gently turn away from Rin, who is looking at me with a stern stare.
They say people’s eyes swim when they are guilty. ……This is exactly the situation now.
Then there’s only one thing for me to do.
Before the punishment comes with an iron fist…….
“If it’s Towa-kun, it’s …… nothing, …… though it’s embarrassing indeed.”
“… Huh?”
“Sorry!” Just before I was about to say sorry, something unexpected was released from Rin’s mouth.
The suddenness of the situation made her voice sound frank.
“Do you want to see ……?”
“No, that’s…”
“I’m kidding.”
I patted her on the head gently.
It was a very gentle response to the commitment.
Her cheeks flushed red in response.
Just because she made that declaration doesn’t mean that she has lost her sense of shame at all…….
Well, that’s more helpful.
I don’t want the struggle between instinct and reason to become more intense.
“I mean, Rin. Why are you already in my room ……? What happened to the wake-up call?”
“The key was given to me before, and this is another fine wake-up call.”
“Well, I’ve certainly been …… woken up. But you know, my impression was that you would call me like you did before…….”
“You have to let go of stereotypes, okay? Besides, there is more certainty in waking someone up in person than over the phone. Especially in Towa-kun’s case, you are often a sleepyhead……”
“I can’t stand to hear you say that, but ……. But aren’t you tired in the morning?”
“No problem at all. I am an early riser by nature.”
The strong will I feel from Rin.
Ah, these are the eyes when you have no intention of giving in at all ……
I sigh and raise my hands to show my willingness to surrender.
I was so surprised to see Rin smiling happily at me.
“Just wake me up normally if you’re going to wake me up, ……. I don’t want a repeat of today’s pattern.”
“Then choose which way you’d like it.”
“Hmm? What do you mean ……?”
Rin took out a sketchbook from her bag and showed me two drawings.
I mean, did you make them for this ……?
You’re so good at drawing for nothing…….
“”The first drawing is ‘I wake you up in the morning riding a horse’.”
“Rejected.”
“The second one is, ‘I wake you up in the morning by lying in bed with you’….”
“Of course, rejected!”
“Towa-kun is selfish……”
“The idea is too far-fetched. …… What is this?”
I feel kind of sorry for Rin, who sullenly says, “I went to a lot of trouble to draw these……”
I mean, did she really think any of this would be approved?
But I don’t think Rin would think this way, and …… this time…..
“Rin…… this was Fuji-san’s idea, wasn’t it?”
Rin looks away, as if I had guessed it.
Rin’s attack power, which is very sharp, is quite high, but …… surprisingly, her defensive power is weak.
Quick as a flash, and all that.
I sigh and shrug.
“For now, stop what you were doing earlier. If you keep doing that to me every day, no amount of my heart is going to be enough……”
“Okay, so I’ll do that.”
“Yes, yes.”
Rin, who seemed upset earlier, has turned around and is smiling……
Huh? Did I miss something?
I mean, these negotiations have a sense of deja vu……
Well, I can’t help but think about it.
“Today is the start of the second semester, isn’t it? I’m looking forward to it.”
“Yes…….. Well, let’s go when you’re ready~.”
“Yes…….?”
“What, why the questioning?”
Rin tilts her head cutely, looking perplexed.
Something doesn’t seem to add up.
“No, I thought, that Towa-kun was surely …… going to say something like ‘you should go alone’ or ‘you’ll make a scene’ today.”
“Yeah, well, you know. I don’t do useless things.”
I know you won’t listen to me if I tell you anyway.
I myself don’t mind going with Rin.
Rather, it is an undeniable fact that I like the idea of going with Rin.
But I am more worried about Rin than I am about myself…….
“You are “too honest to think that there is something behind the scenes”……. Usually you’re so twisted…….”
“No, believe me a little. I mean, even I sometimes listen to you honestly, right?”
“I had dozens of replies prepared in case you refused me, but …… it was all for nothing.”
“I didn’t know you had that many …….”
I chuckled and decided to wait for breakfast, which Rin had begun to prepare.
