“Get up already!”

When I was awakened by Ayako’s scornful tone, the inside of the bungalow was shockingly bright.

“Morning...”

I’m sleepy. It’s too bright.

When I buried my face in the futon, a fist came flying at my head.

“I said get up!”

“Okay...”

As I was muttering, the ground suddenly shook and I was thrown out. —To be exact, the mattress was pulled from beneath my body and I rolled off onto the tatami mats.

“Ouch...”

I opened my eyes. In the corner of the room a ready meal had been arranged. I clung to my thin summer futon while wearing only my pajamas.

“Ah, the meal is ready. I’m hungry.”

“Hey, get yourself together! You’re indecent for a young woman!”

Shut up. I’m sleepy, so I don’t care about that kind of thing.

In a sleepy state, I vacantly looked around the inside of the room, then jumped up.

“...!”

The majority of our group was staring at me with shocked expressions.

—Crap!!

Of course. Only Bou-san would do something like tear away your futon. Both John and Yasuhara-san had slightly embarrassed smiles and were blushing a little.

I was sleeping like a log in front of the boys, wasn’t I? See, even if I put on airs now, my true character has most likely been exposed. But isn’t this the worst?

“Aaah, morning!”

With great haste, I washed my face, changed my clothes next door (clearly, since there was a large audience, I couldn’t change in that place), and returned to eat our meal.

“Let’s eat!”

Ayako’s cooking is very good. Her surprisingly good rustic cuisine doesn’t match her garish appearance. Humans are a mystery, aren’t they?

“Time to eat.”

“You haven’t eaten since yesterday morning. I’m sure you’re probably starving.”

“Will you stop talking like I’m a glutton?”

“Am I wrong?”

...you’re not wrong.

We came back late last night. Regardless, I took a bath and fell asleep shortly after I dried my hair.

“What time did everyone get up?”

“In truth, a great deal earlier than you.”

...I’m very sorry about that.

“We went to the town hall and met the village chief, then we went shopping and made food.”

“Thanks for the hard work.”

“At least look a little sorry!”

Right, right. Thank you for letting me sleep.
