Chapter 54: Eriri: Alright, Let’s Go to Sleep!
After settling Kato Megumi into her room, Yukima Azuma returned to the living room.
The other two were still fast asleep. With a sigh, he approached Eriri first.
Gently, he supported her head and carefully lifted it off Kasumigaoka Utaha's lap. Despite being asleep, Eriri didn't look especially peaceful—her brows were faintly furrowed, and yes, Yukima hadn't been mistaken earlier...
She had drooled.
There was an obvious wet patch on Kasumigaoka's black tights.
He wiped the corner of Eriri's mouth with a tissue and moved her to the side, then turned his attention to Kasumigaoka.
With one arm under her knees and the other behind her neck, he carried her upstairs in a princess carry.
Her brows twitched slightly at the motion, but when her head tilted and rested against his chest, she visibly relaxed.
Yukima Azuma brought her to her room and gently laid her on the bed.
As he reached for the blanket, he noticed the wet stain Eriri had left behind on her tights. He paused.
After a moment of reflection, he made a judgment call.
