“Fwuah……so sleepy.”
“You’ve got dark circles in your eyes. Are you even sleeping?”
“I’ve been up all night.”
“Sleep. Sleep now. Sleep here.”
“Don’t worry, I’m fine. I won’t be asleep for another hour.”
“Should I knock you out…..?”
“Don’t use force.”
“I don’t think it’s a good idea to stay awake.”
“Nlnlnlnlll.”
“How do you even pronounce that?”
What I heard from behind me was a voice that sounded like a condensed version of all that is cute in this world. Combined with my lack of sleep, I almost blew out of consciousness.
“Hey there, Noda kun, Yukito kun.”
“Yo, Kusunoki chan.””
“Akskkskksk, good morning, Kusunoki sama.”
“Your voice is so small. Why are you so nervous?”
“It’s because of the suddenness and lack of sleep.”
As expected, I should get used to it…used to it….didn’t I already get used to it?
Well, compared to when I first fainted, that’s as good as it gets. If I’m not careful, though, I’ll end up just like back then.
“I heard you’re not getting enough sleep. Not getting enough sleep is bad for your health.”
“I love the goddess who cares about her classmates…”
“You’re the same as ever, you know. But Kusunoki chan, please tell him. It seems like he hasn’t been sleeping at all lately.”
While saying unnecessary things, Kaname started to rub the top of his head with his fingers. Kusunoki was staring at me.
“……I guess so. Do you need a little sermon?”
“A reward !?”
“Stop looking so damn happy. You look like a pervert.”
Oh crap. Due to lack of sleep, my true feelings are leaking out.
Can I blame it on lack of sleep and keep telling Kusunoki that I love her? Is that too much to ask?
“Yukito kun.”
“Hyah.”
“You have to get proper sleep. Even if you’re young, you could have a stroke or something like that, and it could affect your future.”
“….Heee.”
“If Yukito kun were to collapse, it would be a big problem.”
It is a serious sermon. This is so true that I have no words to respond.
“Are you gonna sleep properly tonight?”
“I’m gonna sleep for about fifteen hours.”
“Too extreme. …..I heard that too much sleep is not good either.”
“I’ll sleep a lot, but not too much.”
“Good.”
It was almost time for me to finish what I had to do. I’m gonna sleep today as Kusunoki told me. I’ll just make a final check.
But time flies when you have so many things to do.
Today is November 13th. The day after tomorrow is Kusunoki’s birthday. I’m a little surprised to think that less than a month has already passed.
Kusunoki is doing well so far. I can see that she is getting better and better. Kaname doesn’t seem to notice it at all.
A little while ago, she was even able to make an appearance on the official channel of [Suh]. At that time, it was trending on social media and it was quite exciting.
The day when Kusunoki makes a comeback may not be far off.
◆◆◆
“The live stream of [Suh] last Christmas was so cute–“
“……Yukito kun, you must be sleepy.”
After school, as usual, when I was telling Kusunoki that I love her, she interrupted me.
“No, not really…..”
“You don’t have to hold back anymore.”
“I’m not holding back……”
This is bad. I haven’t been able to stop yawning ever since. I’ve managed to keep it up, but I can’t speak properly at all.
“Yukito un, do you have a part-time job today?”
“No……I’ve been working less these days because I have more money to spare after the POP incident the other day.”
“So you’re free after school.”
“Yes, but……”
“”Then go to sleep.”
……Hmm?
“Sleep? You mean here?”
“Yeah. Otherwise, it’s dangerous, right? Like when you go home.”
“No, but—“
“Won’t you sleep?”
“Good night.”
“Okay. Good night.”
After all, you can’t fight my favorite idol.
Kusunoki smiles and says good night to me. I’m gonna have nothing but good dreams.
I took a towel and use it as a pillow, burying my face in it. …Whether I turn my head this way or that way, it doesn’t feel right.
“Ah, wait, Yukisho-kun. You can use this one too.””
“……Hmm?”
“You were in a position that looked like it would hurt your neck and lower back. …..Yes, I think this is better than before.”
When I looked up, I saw Kusunoki taking out a towel from her bag and stacking it on top of it. The simple pillow is now complete.
…No, wait a minute. Eh? Towel?
“K-Kusunoki. That’s a little bit bad for my reason in a lot of ways.”
“……? Ah, sorry ! I used this towel, didn’t I?”
“Eliminating worldly desires, Eliminating worldly desires, Eliminating worldly desires, Eliminating worldly desires.”
Disappear, worldly desires. Disappear.
“This towel was not used, so don’t worry about it.”
“Peace…? Will peace come to my heart…? Really…?”
Eh? Wait a minute. Kusunoki’s towels? Burying my face in it?
No, not really, if I turn either way,…..but that, that’s something, you know. Like….when I put my face down earlier.
She probably doesn’t mind that kind of thing. I guess? But I care.
“Yukito kun, aren’t you gonna sleep?”
“………..I’ll sleep.”
I made up my mind and put my face on it. I turn my face towards Kusunoki. I felt like it would be too dangerous to bury my face in someone else’s towel.
It smells like Kusunoki. I’m saying really creepy things. But it smells good. It can’t be helped. Yeah.
“Good night, Yukito kun.”
“…..Good night, Kusunoki.”
I’ll never be able to sleep. My heart is racing. I feel like I’m getting a lot of stares, but I’m probably just being paranoid. Maybe.
But—I was too tired, and after five minutes, I was unconscious.
◆◇◆◇◆
Inside a classroom with the lights turned off. She was staring at a male student who was sleeping regularly.
“…I guess he was pretty tired.”
She murmured happily at his defenseless appearance. It was because, although he usually exposes his heart, it was very rare for him to show this kind of appearance.
“Fufu. It’s kinda cute.”
Her fingers pecked his cheek and brushed his bangs to the side, which were tickling his forehead.
When she stroked his cheek with her hand, she seemed to tickle her and pulled her hand away.
“Yukito kun. I’ll do my best.”
He didn’t hear her. Even so, she murmured.
“Just wait a little longer. I should be able to move forward soon.”
Her eyes were bright and shone with a strong light.

November 14th. On that day, a certain news was broadcast from the morning, and the world was in an uproar.
[The leader of 【Silent Spell】, Mikami Ako, leaked information about 【Sunlight Hope】’s leader, Kusunoki Nanami ! Furthermore, there were false spreading and slander on the anonymous posting !? It seems that there was also abuse among the members—-]
