Naoko prepares breakfast, and after a while, Starfish comes down from upstairs.

A few people were eating in the living room of Morimi's house.

"Where's Morimi?"

"Yiye said that she hadn't slept enough and wanted to continue sleeping."

"Why don't you eat something?"

"She said she couldn't sleep after eating."

Starfish sat down, "You don't have to say hello to her when you go back, just close the door." ”

It seems that her form has not recovered much......

Naruse didn't ask much and continued to eat breakfast. Naoko was thoughtful, but also silent.

Hikaru Takikawa turned on the TV and played the news.

"Ah, the news says that the Northeast region has already produced plums...... So what's going on with the rain outside? ”

"It means that it is ordinary rain, not rainy season."

"Is there any difference?"

"It makes little difference if it falls to the ground."

Hikaru Takikawa muttered something again, but Naruse didn't hear it clearly.

Finally, after taking a bite of food, he looked outside, and the rain seemed to have become lighter. The rain is not over yet, but the rainy season has ended early.

The rain outside gradually became lighter, and by the time the starfish had finished their breakfast, the rain was negligible.

"You can go back."

"Hmm."

After cleaning up, Naoko went upstairs and soon came down again.

"Kazuha is still sleeping, I left a note for her."

"What note?" Hikaru Takikawa asked.

"There's food in the kitchen."

Naruse came in from outside, holding a towel, "The saddle is dry, let's go back." ”

"Uh-huh."

Closing the door, Starfish got on Hikaru Takikawa's motorcycle, followed Naruse who had already set off, and left Morimi's house in the light rain.

The roar of the engine grew quieter and quieter until it was completely inaudible, and after a few more moments, Morimi opened his eyes.

She was very tired and had no energy, but she couldn't sleep completely.

Shallow sleep brought real but shattered dreams, and from the time the starfish went down to the present, she had seven or eight dreams, which did not help to rest, but tortured her even more.

"Self-inflicted ......"

Looking at the ceiling for a moment, she sat up.

I got out of bed and went to my desk, on which was a tissue with words written on it.

[Thanks for the hospitality, let's go back first.] There was a prepared breakfast in the kitchen. - Harumi & Naoko]

When Naoko came up, she didn't open her eyes, but she also clearly knew that she was the only one who came up.

After holding it and looking at it for a while, Morimi crumpled up the tissue and threw it into the trash can next to it.

The body is weak and the eyelids are heavy, but they are in much better condition than when they were found on the toilet in the morning.

Still not getting enough sleep, she was ready to go and sleep for a few more hours.

As for the hungry stomach, let's wait until I wake up.

As soon as I left my desk, the sound of a motorcycle came from the yard below.

“……”

Walking to the window, she poked her head out, and Hikaru Takikawa underneath also happened to raise her head.

"Kazuha is really awake...... What are you sighing for? ”

"I'm upset when I see you."

She just smiled, parked the car, pulled out the keys and got out of the car.

"Excuse me—"

Morimi went back to bed and lay down, and after a while, Hikaru Takikawa came up.

"Why don't you eat? It's still hot. ”

She closed her eyes, "I don't want to eat." ”

"The food is innocent."

"I mean, I'm sleepy and don't want to eat right now." Morimi turned his back to her, "What are you doing when Hikari comes back?" ”

"I'm back with you, of course."

"No, I just want to sleep now."

The bed beneath her suddenly sank, and she sat down on the edge of it.

"What time did Ichiha sleep last night?"

"Guess."

"Here we go again."

Mori saw that she wanted to say something, but then she thought that she had tortured her for most of the night, and her attitude did not change, but she suffered deeply, so she was silent.

"It can't be a sleepless night."

"You guessed it."

"What did Kazuha do?"

"Nothing was done."

Hikaru Takikawa turned his head to look at the side of her face, his gaze lingering on her closed eyes for a moment.

"Can you sleep?"

Morimi took a breath and turned to glare at her, "If you weren't here, I would have fallen asleep a long time ago." ”

"If only I didn't exist."

"It's better not to really exist."

"Okay." Hikaru Takikawa smiled and stood up, "Kazuha continue to sleep, I won't bother you." ”

“……”

Morimi pursed her lower lip, and suddenly didn't want her to leave like this, but she didn't say anything until she left the room.

She closed her eyes and continued to lie down, but the sound of the motorcycle starting did not sound for a long time.

After lying down for another five or six minutes, she suddenly got up from her bed and went downstairs to the living room.

"What the hell does Hikari want to do?"

In front of the TV, Hikaru Takikawa looked back at her, "Kazuha...... I didn't do anything, huh? ”

"What are you doing in my house?"

"Because there's nowhere else to go."

Morimi leaned against the wall and sighed, "Can't you go home?" ”

"Can't you stay here?" She asked rhetorically.

"It's affecting my sleep."

"Downstairs in general?"

"I know you're not leaving."

Hikaru Takikawa's body also turned around, "Does Kazuha care a lot." ”

Mori didn't speak, stared at her for a while, and sat down as well.

"Do you want something to eat?"

She didn't speak, she just acquiesced, smiled, got up and went to the kitchen to get the food that wasn't yet cold.

"It's a little cold, do you need to warm it up?"

"No, that's it."

After eating a few bites of food that I don't know if it was breakfast or lunch, Morimi stopped, and before he could speak, Hikaru Takikawa got up and went to the kitchen, and quickly brought a glass of water.

“…… Thank you. ”

"Eat slowly, this is what Naoko specially left for Ichiba."

She rolled her eyes and glared at her, but the movements of her hands did not stop, and she continued to eat.

After another moment, she put down her chopsticks.

"Not eating?"

"I can't eat it."

"It's not a lot."

Morimi shook his head, "I'm not feeling well, I can't eat." ”

Hikaru Takikawa looked at her, "What's wrong?" ”

She pursed her lower lip, "Sleep deprivation." ”

"Self-inflicted."

"Hmm." Morimi didn't refute either, dragged a cushion over as a pillow, and lay down on the tatami mat.

Hikaru Takikawa looked at her, got up and put away the dishes and chopsticks, and sent them to the kitchen.

Back in the living room, she sat down next to her and saw her eyes half-open and half-closed watching TV.

There was uninteresting news on TV, and it couldn't even be used as a topic for small talk, and the two watched silently and absentmindedly.

At one point, Morimi suddenly muttered.

"Thank you."

Hikaru Takikawa turned her head to look, and she had closed her eyes.

The thank you blurted out was more like the last time she retained her consciousness before falling asleep.

It's just that the drowsiness came quickly, and she didn't have time to wait for a response.

Staring at her for a while, making sure she was really asleep, Hikaru Takikawa smiled inexplicably, and then lay down next to her.

What's she going to do next......
