Book 7: Chapter 1: February 14th (Sunday) – Asamura Yuuta
Morning arrived. Specifically, 8:07 am. Since it was Sunday, I could allow myself to sleep in a bit longer than usual. The sun shining inside from the window illuminated the faucet in the bathroom. I bit down on my yawn as I turned the lever towards ‘warm’ to counteract the coldness against my bare feet and warmed up my face with the water. After that, I opened the door to the living room with a “Good morning.”
“Morning, Yuuta.”
“Good… yawn… morning, Yuuta-kun.”
My old man and Akiko-san were already present. As for Akiko-san, she seemed fairly sleepy. It looked like they had finished their breakfast already and when I looked over at the dinner table, I saw two plates of breakfast wrapped up in plastic. As was typical for our weekend menu, there was ham and eggs with salad and miso soup. Normally you’d have toast with such a meal, but my old man has completely fallen victim to Akiko-san’s miso soup, which is what created this odd combination. Then again, once you get used to it it’s just as good.
“…Hm? Where’s Ayase-san?”
“She’s still sleeping.”
“Maybe she was up late studying again…”
I guess I should wait for her. Eating alone won’t make it any more delicious, at least.
“I don’t know when she’ll get up, so just eat without her.”
