Chapter 436: Morning Meeting
After days of travel and exhaustion, Nawaki eventually drifted off to sleep.
He wasn't sure how long he had slept when the sound of footsteps approached, followed by familiar voices.
"Uncle, Uncle."
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother."
A boy and a girl, both around their early teens, gathered around him, gently trying to wake him up.
"If you're not sleeping, why are you bothering me?"
Nawaki cracked one eye open and saw Ginji and Satsuki staring at him, and for a moment, he wondered just how tangled their family hierarchy had become.
"We couldn't sleep, so we came to play with you."
Too considerate to wake their other friends, the two kids had come to disturb Nawaki instead.
"If you two don't sleep, does that mean I don't get to either?"
Nawaki gave them a half-hearted glare but still sat up lazily.
