Takkun: Would it be all right if I came over right now?

I mustered up my energy to manage a reply.

Ayako: Feel free. The door’s unlocked, so let yourself in.

My reply had been a bit curt, but that was the best I could do.

Several minutes later, I heard the door open. Surely it was rude as his girlfriend to not get up to go greet him—and for all I knew, it wasn’t Takkun, but rather some burglar at the door—but I had no energy to get up. I just stayed there on the couch, and...

“M-Miss Ayako?!” Takkun entered the living room, and he ran over to me in a rush as he saw me laying there like I was dead. “Are you okay...?”

“Yeah, somehow...”

“You don’t look very okay...”

“I-I’m fine, I’m fine... It’s just morning sickness and stuff. What’s up with you? You’re in a suit.”

Takkun had come over in a suit today, apparently. It was the same suit he’d worn on just his first day at his internship in Tokyo. He’d worn it to make sure he didn’t fall for the plain clothes pitfall, but the company was not that kind of place at all, and he’d ended up wearing his regular clothes every day after that.

“I’m attending a job-hunting seminar after this.”

“Oh, right... You mentioned that.”

“I heard from Miu that you weren’t feeling well, so I wanted to stop by before I headed to the university... I didn’t realize things had gotten this bad.” Takkun seemed truly worried. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I mean, I didn’t want to worry you... I know that you’re going to be busy now that you’re starting to job hunt.”

“Still...”

“There’s nothing that can be done about my symptoms anyways. It’s not like they’ll go away just because you came over.”

“Urgh...” Takkun had a pained look on his face.

Oh no. I said something terrible, but I needed to. If I don’t say it clearly, Takkun might never leave my side and try to help me feel better. I had no idea how long these symptoms were going to last, and if I made Takkun stick with me through them, it would completely get in the way of his job hunting.

“I’ll be fine...” I insisted. “I’m just a little nauseous, and I feel a little gross, and I’m a little fatigued, and I’m maybe abnormally sleepy. That’s all...”

“You don’t seem fine at all...”

“I-I’ll be fine. Miu’s here too.”

“Despite that, the house seems...” Takkun looked around dubiously at the living room and kitchen.

There was unfolded laundry, dust piled up all over, a table that hadn’t been cleared of our plates from breakfast, a sink full of dishes, and a garbage bag that I’d forgotten to take out. My house was in a miserable state that would make anyone want to look away.

“Well, that’s because Miu needs to study, and I told her to focus on school.”

Takkun fell silent.

“E-Either way, it’s fine,” I reiterated. “I’ll take care of it all.”

“Miss Ayako...”

“There are plenty of people having a rougher time than I am, so I can’t be complaining in my state.
