When he came to, Amane detected a sweet scent nearby. It was an aroma he had become used to, a sweet fragrance that was milky and floral, hard to describe but extremely pleasant, so without thinking, he inhaled deeply.

In his barely conscious state, he brought his face closer to the source of the smell and felt something warm and soft to the touch. When he snuggled his cheek closer to the pleasant warmth, it started to squirm.

“…Ah, um, that tickles…,” said a halting voice from somewhere very close by. Amane realized someone was patting his thigh. This quickly dragged his dim consciousness up to the surface, and when he pried open his heavy eyelids…what he saw was an expanse of smooth milky white.

He nervously lifted his head and found Mahiru’s flushed face incredibly close to his. She looked very embarrassed.

“…Mahiru?”

“Yes?”

“…Uh…good morning?”

“Good morning. Although…actually, it’s already time to say good afternoon.”

He looked at the digital clock on the shelf and saw that it was past noon.

He had dozed off for quite a while, he realized. But what was Mahiru doing by his side?

“When I sat down next to you, you leaned onto me.”

Mahiru answered his unspoken question, her cheeks still tinged slightly red.

Apparently, he had nestled his face into the area near her shoulder. The shirt she was wearing today had a fairly open neckline, which left some skin peeking out, and that seemed to be where he had stuck his face.

If he was unlucky, she might consider this a matter of sexual harassment, so he prepared himself for her anger, but Mahiru seemed more embarrassed than angry and just cast her eyes downward.

Personally, he would have preferred for her to get mad, because he was truly at a loss for what to do when she reacted that way. He appeared to have been forgiven, which made him uncomfortable.

“That’s— I’m sorry,” Amane apologized. “It must have been a pain.”

“N-no, not at all!” she insisted.

“Quite the contrary, Mahirun said ‘I’m going to take advantage of the fact that Amane’s half asleep’ and sat down to catch your head.”

“Chitose!” Mahiru turned even redder.

“And just when did you two start calling each other by your first names, I wonder?” Chitose grinned.

“…Chitose.”

“Don’t scowl at me, Amane. You’re the one who was careless!”

He couldn’t argue with that. In his half-conscious state, he’d called Mahiru by her first name even though Chitose was there. That was his error.

“And anyway, Mahirun already told me about how you two talk when no one else is around…”

“Look, you—,” Amane growled.

“S-sorry,” Mahiru mumbled.

He quickly shook his head. “No, you’re not to blame here, Mahiru.”

Chitose cackled merrily. “Well, as far as I’m concerned, I think it’s just great that the two of you are getting so friendly! It’s not a bad thing at all.”

“You’re a real pain, you know that?” Amane glared. “It’s seriously not what you’re thinking.”

“Ohhh?”

“What?”

“Uh-uh, nothing. Nooothing at aaall!”

Chitose sure seemed like she had a lot to say about nothing, but she shrugged as if she had no intention of expressing it through words.
