Chapter 258:
T/N: Sorry for disappearing, I had to clear up my schedule since I have a lot of things to take care of nowadays. But things have considerably slowed down by now so I can regularly update the series again! Since I went bye bye for a week, I'll make up for it by releasing 3 chaps for a week, hopefully I won't get too busy again. Anyway enjoy!
Next day, Saturday. Although the weather wasn’t exactly a pleasant one for an autumn day, the forecast said that there would be no chance of rain. They announced that the fireworks festival would proceed as planned today on their social media. Based on the reactions, it seemed a lot of people would be going to the venue.
Since it was a holiday, I got out of bed a little later than usual. When I headed to the living room, I could scent the smell of coffee wafting through the air.
In the kitchen, Umi was humming a tune joyfully as she poured some coffee into two cups. Somehow, this had become a regular scene in this house.
“Good morning, Maki. You woke up late today, hm? Well, since it’s a holiday, it doesn’t matter, but keep in mind that if you do this too often, you’ll get insomnia.”
“Good morning, Umi. I’ll keep that in mind, thanks for the coffee.”
“Don’t mention it. Anyway, let’s leave the lecture about your sleeping habit after our breakfast. Come here~”
We went to the couch and proceeded with our morning routine. She stroked my head and fixed my hair with the comb and the hair wax that she brought. Since we would be going outside with everyone today, she put in more effort than usual.
I still had the aversion of getting my hair touched by others, but Umi was an exception among exceptions. Her gentle touches and the soft texture of her hands always felt so comfortable. If I were to let my guard down, I could fall asleep right there and then.
