Wow~~~

The sound of rain gradually sounded from far and near.

Narumi Yu opened his eyes and looked at Shiina Weiyang's sleeping face facing him, and he was in a trance for a while.

Although it was only a short time ago, the change of scene without warning still gave him an indescribable sense of unreality.

It's like having a very real dream, but you will never forget it when you wake up.

"Hmm......"

The girl's eyelashes fluttered and she woke up from a "dream". Two pairs of eyes, only twenty or thirty centimeters apart, looked at each other. Narumi Yu looked away and turned over and sat up, Shiina Weiyang blushed and grabbed the quilt and got into the quilt.

Narumi looked at the table at the head of the bed.

I don't know when, the udon noodles and rice porridge that Shiina Miyo couldn't finish at noon are gone.

Instead, there was a note with a smiling face on it.

“……”

A bad feeling rose in his heart, and he picked up the note and glanced at the words on it.

【The food tastes good~(WW)】

[Weiyang sauce already has a man to take care of her, and she doesn't need her mother anymore~ (crying)]

“……”

"What are Narumi Mulsan looking at?"

Shiina Weiyang, who poked his head out of the bed to breathe, asked curiously.

"Auntie's message."

"Huh?"

Narumi hesitated and handed her the note.

"......" The girl retracted into the quilt again.

Thinking about how to clear up the misunderstanding, he got out of bed and prepared to open the bedroom door.

When he walked to the door, he heard the sound of Shiina Mio behind him, so small that he was almost muffled by the sound of rain outside the window.

"I'm sorry...... It was I who caused Narumi to be misunderstood. ”

“…… Shouldn't it be more important that the rice porridge and udon noodles you didn't finish eating were taken away by your aunt? ”

Narumi staggered the topic and asked rhetorically.

There was a sudden silence in the bedroom.

Half-loud, there was a girl's inaudible snort,

"Stupid."

The sound is quieter than the sound of rain outside the window, and some other sounds in the room can be drowned out.

He pretended not to hear and raised his hand to open the bedroom door.

In front of the door, there was also a note.

It is written "Do Not Disturb" in black marker, the same handwriting as the note left at the head of the bed.

Downstairs there was the gurgling sound of the soup in the pot boiling.

Shiina's mother wore an apron, her hair tied up in a ball on the left, and held in place with a hairpin with a frog's head printed on it.

Hearing the movement of the stairs, he raised his head and greeted Narumi with a smile, "Wake up?" Weiyang-chan's little boyfriend. ”

“……”

How to explain to the mother of a girl in your class who has a good relationship with you that she is only visiting and taking care of her sick daughter, and that she is not in a romantic relationship, and that she is lying in bed just to read a picture book together.

"Where are we? Are you taking precautions? Shiina's mother asked a little impatiently, looking at Narumi Yu with more curiosity than scrutiny in her eyes.

"Hand in hand." Narumi Yu replied truthfully.

To be precise, it's just that Shiina Weiyang held his hand when he taught him to draw.

He was a little nervous for no reason, obviously he hadn't done anything, but he was like a thief who stole the daughter of the Shiina family.

"W-just holding hands......?" Instead of breathing a sigh of relief, Shiina's mother was a little disappointed, "I thought it had come to that point...... We all slept together, how could we just hold hands......"

“……”

"Ahh

"Shiina-san talks in her dreams when she sleeps and wants someone to accompany her." Lying is a very bad habit, especially after meeting Chisaka Imadegawa, but it is even more difficult to believe the other party when telling the truth, "Actually, we haven't started dating yet." ”

"......" Shiina's mother stared at Narumi for a long time, narrowed her eyes slightly, and put a gentle smile on her face again, "That's it......"

A heavy sense of oppression came over him.

"What a 'gentle' good boy~ If other girls are sick, they will take care of her like this, right?"

There is an air of danger between the lines.

It's like a node leading to BE in a plot word game, as if if you accidentally answer incorrectly, you will encounter a chai knife ending.

"I've only taken care of Shiina-san...... Or maybe it's the first time I've taken care of someone else," Narumi scratched his head, a harmless smile on his face, "I'm sorry...... There may be a lot of things that aren't good enough. ”

"That's it~...... Can you tell me your name? ”

The feeling of oppression gradually disappeared, and Shiina's mother was gentle and kind, as if nothing had happened.

"Yuu Narumi, my name is." He took out his phone and wrote it on a clipboard to Shiina's mother.

“…… It's a nice name~Narumi-kun~"

"Well, thanks to my parents......"

"Narumi-kun, why did you come to take care of Weiyang-chan~ You have to ask for leave from school, right?"

"Shiina-san's position is behind me, and when I entered the class in the morning, I saw that Shiina-san didn't go to school, so I didn't think much about it, so I ran over."

"If the girl sitting behind Narumi-kun wasn't Shiina-san, would she also take leave to take care of her?"

"I don't know, Shiina-san is my friend, and Shiina-san is cute—there's a reason for that." Yu Narumi told the truth.

"Hmm...... Weiyang-chan is a little cute......"

Shiina's mother was a little troubled, revealing that [Isn't this just the same as other girls?] A worried look.

He honestly stood aside and did not dare to leave.

The tofu in the broth has already been boiled to umami, and the white radish cubes have soaked up the soup.

Without waiting for him to remind him, Shiina's mother, who had been chatting with Narumi Yu, also paid attention to the time.

Add the miso while the soup is cooked just right, stirring and turning off the heat.

Finally, add the dried wakame and green onion and remove from the heat.

Shiina's mother brought a bowl to Narumi Yu, and was about to ask him to help send it upstairs.

"Ahhh~"

She glanced towards the staircase, and curled the corners of her mouth,

"I don't think so."

Narumi turned around.

I saw the tiptoes of the girl hiding behind the wall.

“……”

"Weiyang-chan~It's time to come down and eat~" Shiina's mother pretended not to see it, put her hand to her mouth, and shouted loudly.

After waiting for about a minute, the girl, who was hiding from eavesdropping, slowly moved her steps and walked out from behind the wall.

Shiina Weiyang put a coat over her nightdress, and there was still a flush on her face, and her gaze at Shiina's mother was a little evasive.

“…… It's time for me to go. Narumi Yu regretted that he didn't carry his schoolbag out, and he couldn't just turn around and leave.

"Are you leaving? It's so sad~~ I obviously made Narumi-kun's share of ......" Shiina's mother said this, but she had already stuffed the plate with three bowls of rice into his hand.

"Narumi-san has to cook for himself when he goes home, right?"

“……”

There was him in these three meals?

"Well, what about uncle?"

"Ah...... He's ......" Shiina's mother smiled as gently as Fang Cai, "and he's already dead because he's too 'gentle'." ”
