Two figures sat on a rocky outcrop in the predawn light. Hajime and Yue. They had woken earlier than usual. The sun was only just beginning to crest the eastern horizon.

Technically, it was only Hajime who was sitting on the rock. Yue was sitting in Hajime’s lap. The only other people awake right now were the Haulia on watch. However, the boulder Hajime had picked was in the sentries’ blind spot, so the two of them were able to spend some time together for the first time in a while.

They sat together in amicable silence as they watched the sun rise.

Suddenly, Yue took her head off Hajime’s shoulder and kissed the nape of his neck. The wet sound of her kiss broke the silence.

“Where’d that come from?”

“Mmm... I just felt like it, after remembering what happened last night.”

She was of course referring to Hajime’s declaration that they’d topple the capital.

What that had to with her kissing him, though, even Hajime didn’t know. He locked eyes with Yue and tilted his head questioningly.

“You put Shea’s feelings over your mission. I’m happy that you care about her that much. And that there’s more things you hold dear now. I’m so happy that I...” As she spoke, Yue kissed him again.

Ah, I get it now.

“Does this mean Shea’s special to you now, too?”

“Well, not exactly. She’s definitely one of the people I care most about in the world, but... you’re the only one who’s special, Yue.”

“Mrr... Even though I’d be okay with Shea. But I’m also happy.”

Yue looked up at Hajime, both troubled and happy. Shea was the first friend Yue made after climbing out of the abyss, and she treated Shea like her little sister. To Yue, Shea was just as special as Hajime, just for different reasons.

That was why she was willing to let Shea be someone “special” to Hajime, a title she wouldn’t relinquish to anyone else. And so, while she was happy at Hajime’s words, she did also wish he’d stop being so stubborn.

For his part, Hajime found Yue’s insistence that he grow his harem annoying. It irked him that she actually wanted him to consider other people just as special. He decided to get his revenge by showering her in kisses until she could no longer think about anyone else.

“Mmm... Mmm... Haumf... Haji... Mmm...”

As the sun started to rise, their shadows grew. Because of how close together they were, it looked like they were a single shadow, except during the times they separated to draw breath.

After a few minutes, Yue’s cheeks were flushed, her lips were glossy with saliva, and her eyes were filled with longing.

Just as they were about to take the next step, Hajime heard someone calling for him from behind the boulder he was sitting on.

“Oooi, Nagumo. You here?”

It appeared Kouki wanted him for something. He must have gone looking when he’d seen Hajime wasn’t in his sleeping bag. The sun had risen completely now, and it was around the time everyone else would be waking up.
