Iruma-san wants to win the Akutagawa Prize

But the guest room was piled with things and there were no regular mattresses, so no matter how I prepared to look at it now, I would wake up my family.

Too much trouble.

His father was exhausted enough taking care of his hospitalized grandmother on a daily basis.

He can't be ignorant at this critical juncture.

"Where is Hibiki's room?"

Toyokawa Shoko asked this in Iruma Hibiki's ear.

"On the second floor."

After responding like this, Iruma Hibiki took Toyokawa Shoko upstairs.

His house has a master bathroom and a secondary bathroom. The master bathroom is on the first floor and has a large bathtub for bathing, while the secondary bathroom is in his room and only has a separate shower room.

"Can I rest in Hibiki's room?"

"what……"

Looking at Xiangzi's dazed look, Iruma Hibiki sighed helplessly.

"Sure, I'll sleep on the floor tonight."

He responded, then prepared to spend the night like this.

Indeed, it is not realistic to prepare guest rooms now.

As for letting Toyokawa Shoko sleep on the sofa, that was even more impossible. His parents came together to see Toyokawa Shoko...

Although Iruma Hibiki felt that he would not be scolded.

But some care should be enough.

Ugh……

I sighed inwardly.

Hibiki Iruma didn't want this to happen.

"Xiang, which one do you use for the laundry basket?"

"That one at the very edge. Shower gel and the like are all on the shelf over there. As for towels, there are new ones here. I've put all the clothes you bought for you here..."

After giving the instructions, Iruma Hibiki, with a hint of worry, sent Toyokawa Shoko into the shower room, then closed the bathroom door. He then went to his room and tidied up.

The first thing to do is to open the windows immediately to ventilate, and then tidy up your things.

Then I picked up the cup on the bed and threw it on the floor, then replaced it with a new one...

After a busy period, preparations for the night were complete.

At about the same time, Toyokawa Shoko came out of the bathroom wearing a T-shirt that was a bit too big and ridiculous.

After taking a shower, she seemed to wake up a little.

"Hing...that..."

Naturally, she felt a little shy at the moment because of the hazy response she had just given.

It was the first time for Shoko Toyokawa to live in the same room with a boy overnight.

As for Iruma Hibiki, the only experience she had before was staying up late in the hospital with Nagasaki Motoyo.

"Go to bed early, Xiangzi. Good night."

Hibiki Iruma took the initiative to lie down on his own mat, and then fell down far away from the bed.

He was actually extremely sleepy.

Just touching the pillow, my consciousness started to blur.

"Um……"

Toyokawa Shoko didn't say much either.

Before Hibiki Iruma fell asleep, she seemed to have said something, but those words became distant and vague in Hibiki Iruma's ears, and finally shattered in his dream.

-

"Xiang, are you awake?"

Early in the morning, Hibiki Iruma heard a sound outside the door.

Along with the knocks on the door and the calls, Iruma Hibiki finally heard the complex sound of the alarm clock.

"I woke up."

He responded, straightening up.

Then——

At a close distance, Iruma Hibiki saw Toyokawa Shoko.

When he woke up and looked at the bed, he found that the place where Toyokawa Shoko was supposed to sleep was empty...

Did it fall down?

In just a moment, Iruma Hibiki understood the situation of last night.

It's not a classic plot.

Perhaps because Toyokawa Shoko had a bad sleeping posture and Iruma Hibiki's bed was a classic small bed, in the middle of the night, Toyokawa Shoko fell to the ground. Then, perhaps because she wanted to be warm, she rolled up his cup and slept next to his pillow.

"call--"

Iruma Hibiki breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his eyes, feeling fortunate that nothing unnecessary happened last night.

"Xiang, your father said he saw a strange girl's shoes at the door. Did you bring a girl home?"

"what……"

Iruma was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, but it's just a friend who comes to stay overnight..."

"friend?"

Iruma Hibiki didn't want to say the word "lover" here.

Toyokawa Shoko, who had woken up at some point, heard this and retorted:

"We are lovers, lovers."

She repeated it for emphasis.

"Xiang has grown up, too. Breakfast is ready. Today's breakfast is for four people. Xiang can come down anytime."

There came the mother's response from the door, followed by the sound of footsteps going downstairs.

"Why did Hibiki say he was a friend?"

Toyokawa Shoko questioned.

As if this question is very important.

"Ah... because my mother has a lot of trouble with love."

Iruma Hibiki made a subtle complaint.

"So some people don't want to admit it, but it doesn't matter to my father."

He then added.

This was definitely not a lie and Toyokawa Shoko also felt the same way, so she naturally accepted this explanation.

"Xiang, last night..."

It was at this time that Shoko Toyokawa realized the current situation.

"Xiangzi, you're not used to sleeping in my bed. You fell off last night, so you ended up sleeping here."

Iruma Hibiki explained hurriedly.

He really slept too much on his homework.

To the point of not knowing anything.

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko remained silent, a blush forming on her face.

"What are you planning to do today, Xiangzi? Are you going to Tsuki no Mori?"

Although the relationship made great progress last night, there is still a lot of distance between the two people that needs to be closed and digested before the final step. Last night was a special case.

Both he and Xiangzi have reached their limits.

"Yes, we have to go, otherwise Xiaomu will be worried, and Su Shi will know something."

"That's it..."

Hibiki Iruma did not stop Shoko Toyokawa.

"Xiang, I was very happy last night and had a good rest. Thank you. Next time I will personally come to thank you. Thank you Xiang's family for taking me in."

"Ah, it's okay, it's just..."

Iruma Hibiki was silent for a moment.

"My mother might not be very Tokyo-style, but she might be a bit enthusiastic..."

"It's ok."

Toyokawa Shoko responded with a smile.

Because I got up late anyway, there was much less preparation to do at the end.

Perhaps because they could see his shyness and helplessness, Iruma Hibiki's parents left earlier this morning, leaving only breakfast for two and a note on the dining table.

"ring……"

While eating breakfast, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly thought of something and said

"Ok?"

And Iruma Hibiki put down his phone and responded.

This morning, Ichichi Hongxia also sent a photo of the breakfast she made -

Today she had toast with a fried egg and lettuce.

In a little while, she would probably sit in front of the washing machine and stare blankly, and then start her morning chores.

Ijichi Hongxia seemed particularly looking forward to the welcome party.

It would be a lie for Hibiki Iruma to say he wasn't looking forward to it.

But no matter what, Iruma Hibiki put down his phone and chose to chat with Toyokawa Shoko.

After all...

The brief cohabitation last night and breakfast together this morning gave Iruma a feeling... He hoped that this kind of life could last forever.

But obviously this is not realistic.

Maybe in the future.

But it's impossible now.

"Have you ever heard of...the custom of a breakfast kiss?"

Toyokawa Shoko suddenly said this with a blushing face.

Iruma Hibiki was stunned for a moment, then smiled. He touched the corner of his mouth, where the wound from yesterday was naturally swollen.

In fact, it hurt just now when I was washing up.

"heard about it."

Hibiki Iruma walked to Shoko Toyokawa skillfully and kissed her gently.

Of course this time the kiss was a little greasy.
