Book 6: Chapter 13: January 1st (Friday) – Asamura Yuuta
Thus, a new year arrived—Despite my wish, my awakening in the new year was neither peaceful nor relaxing. After returning from our shrine visit last night, I took a bath to warm my chilled bones and snuggled deep into my futon, and I didn’t even remember when I fell asleep. I did have a good sleep, but the first thing that greeted me after waking up was severe pain all over my body. My calves especially were screaming in agony.
If you walk down a mountain path late at night with your legs one step away from slipping for a whole two kilometers, anyone in your situation will end up like this. There’s no exception. I ended up this way, so let’s just accept this hell as the expected result.
“Yuu-chan, breakfast is ready!”
The sliding screen swung open, and Takumi stormed into the room. He’s brimming with energy even this early in the morning. That’s a young and healthy child for you. Takumi leapt into the air and slammed his body onto me.
“Breakfast!”
“Gah! So cold!”
“If you don’t eat, it’ll be gone!”
“I get it, I get it! Tell them I’ll be right there.”
“Okieee!”
