When I woke up, I was the only one sleeping on the futon.

I was lying on the floor in the middle of two futons.

My foggy head gradually became clearer.

Yesterday, after the three of us had done it at the same time, I had fallen asleep almost as if I had fainted.

I dont know what they did after that.

Seeing that I was wearing my pants properly, one of them must have taken care of me.

I am sorry for all the trouble.

Good morning

When I opened the sliding door next to the room, I found Mia sitting there.

She was sitting at the table, wearing her school uniform.

Did you sleep well?

Ah, yeahI slept like I passed out. Wheres Eda?

Shes taking a shower.

Mia looked at me, smiled and stood up.

My parents are coming home, so Ill leave when Fukiko comes out.

I see

There was apparently breakfast on the table for Mia.

She probably showered and had breakfast first.

When I sat down across from her, Mia asked me while stacking empty plates on top of each other.

What shall we do?

About?

When we go to stay at the mountain, arent we in charge of the food?

Thats right.

Thats still a couple of weeks away.

Already looking forward to it, Mias face was bright like a child who couldnt wait for it.

Ive been thinking about it a lot, but I dont want it to be too expensive.

Right. If its cheapter, thats better.

Eda came in from the shower.

Oh, are you going home already?

UnnI have to go out with my parents.

Mia stood up as she took her bag.

She bowed deeply to Eda.

Thank you for letting me stay here.

What is it, being so formal?

Thats true.

Mia looked up and smiled.

Eda laughed as well.

I felt that the distance between the two of the was getting closer.

Eda and I walked Mia to the front door.

Mia waved at us and left.

After she was out of sight, Eda looked at me.

Its half past ten, isnt it?

Is it that time

Lets have a light breakfast and then go out.

We went back to the room and ate bread together.

While Eda was getting ready to leave, I took a shower.

After cleaning up the futon and doing the dishes, we went outside together.

Is it crowded, I wonder?

Eda wears a summery yellow one-piece dress that was open at the chest.

Her long hair was tied back and she was wearing light makeup.

She was wearing a tiny, cute watch and shoes that looked brand new.

Must be, summer vacation just started.

As promised, we go to see Channel 2 together.

We went to a movie theather in a a mall and got in line.

It was crowded, but we were able to see it.

It was a piece of crap.

Yeah, it was terrible.

We left the theather together, feeling a little angry.

I admit that my expectations were high because the first one was so goodBut it was terrible.

It was a waste to make it like that.

It kind of made me want to see a well-received horror movie.

I thought about that too. But I dont know much about it.

Ill look into it, and well watch it together sometime soon.

With that promise, Eda and I parted ways.

On the way home, I looked at my wallet and was surprised.

I had so little money. I had been spending too much recently.

Until recently, I had not been spending money at all, so I had a good amount of money saved up. But recently, I have been spending a lot of money.

Its bad

I am poor.

I dont get a monthly allowance.

I had to ask my parents for money I needed for school and other things each time I needed.

At this rate, the summer vacation

I have a feeling that many events will coincide.

Of course. I have more than one girlfriend.

The same is true for the overnight stay at the mountain, and there will be other dates like todays.

I have no other choice to refuse them, if I am busy. But I didnt want to turn them down because I didnt have the money.

I think someone mentioned it.

Having a girlfriend is a costly thing.

I have five girlfriends now.

I have no choice but to work

So, I put my luggage in my room and headed for Andos house next door.

Without pressing the doorbell, I entered the house on my own.

Hey!

Hey, its Koumei.

I heard a voice, and Mikoto came running down the hallway.

Oh.

Whats wrong? I just finished lunch.

No, I didnt come here to eat lunch.

Mikoto was still in her jersey today.

Her sleepy face was boucing, and her eyes were half open as usual, as if she had just woken up.

What is it then? Ah, did you come to see me?

Sorry to get your hopes up, but thats wrong. Im looking for Kotoe-san.

Eh? For mom?

Ignoring Mikotos raied eyebrows, I took off my shoes and proceeded down the hallway.

The darkroom?

Thats wrong. Shes filming the cat that came into our yard.

Mikoto answered as she followed me.

When I entered the living room and looked out the window, I saw that Kotoe Ando was indeed holding a camera.

In front of it, a pure white cat was sleeping comfortably.

When I opened the window, Kotoe-san looked up from the camera and saw me.

I laughed at her face.

Oh, Koumei, I got some good pictures.

Youre not content with just taking pictures of the cat in the garden, right?

Oh?

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

Kotoe-san looked at me and her eyes widened.
