I need to wake up before these stupid runts arrive.
1.
—It was 3 in late-night.
“Owooohnn, *Higu, don’t lose hope. You both will meet once again *ughu *gusu. Don’t lose hope.”
I was crying.
I wonder how many years it’s been since I cried out so much, being shaken by my emotions.
It was a sure detective novel that made my tear ducts burst.
The main character is a girl abandoned by her mother and living an unhappy life in her relative’s house. One day, she was rescued by her real father, who didn’t even know her face, and she was taken into his mansion.
Her life as a young lady had just begun, as she grew as a person through her encounter with her half-stepsister, as they nurtured their bond. However, due to the dirty tricks of several adults around her, the bond between the two is torn apart.
Several years later, a dead body is found at the mansion where the girl was taken.
A hidden secret. A murder that belonged to the past. A mysterious diary and an exhumed corpse.
After various shocking developments, the detectives arrive at the truth based on logic.
The clever foreshadowing and the creation of the atmosphere of the museum were terrific. Still, more than that, this novel had a vital element of “crying.”
For a detective novel that depicts people being killed and murdered, highlighting the murky human relationships and grudges. After reading it, it was an outrageous masterpiece that leaves you with such a refreshing feeling.
I just thought I’d read the opening part before going to bed, but I ended up reading it all at once.
It’s already 3:30, is it?
Should I just go to sleep?
I wipe away my tears and lie down on the bed.
Can’t sleep
Oh no.
Why is it so?
I don’t feel sleepy at all.
Is it because of that?
The three canned coffee (black) I brought with me while reading?
I stare at the empty can put away on the side of the table.
Or was it because the excitement while reading that book still hasn’t cooled down?
When I let my guard down, I started fantasizing about what kind of life the two of them were living after that. I was so obsessed with the world of that book.
It’s summer vacation, so staying up late won’t be a problem, but I don’t want to deal with those bastards while I’m sleep-deprived.
I guess they will surely come tomorrow anyway.
Well, if I keep my eyes closed, I’ll fall asleep sooner or later.
I tightly closed my eyelids.
I feel like the more I think about sleeping, the more my brain works itself on not to.
Damn stupid me, it’s fine to get carried away with reading, but the only thing you’ll regret tomorrow is your own brain being sleepy, won’t you?
I’m not a child, am I?
I don’t take afternoon naps, do you hear me?
2.
“Oraa, Yuu-nii. Are you alive?”
Mio rushes into the room vigorously.
Today she is wearing a pink T-shirt and wide-leg shorts, with her long hair tied in a ponytail.
“Yuu-nii?”
Usually, she’d get replies like ‘I’m still alive’ or ‘You’re too noisy from this early in the morning,’ but today, the only thing she could hear was the lonely sound of the fan spinning.
The owner of the room― Arizuki, was on his bed.
“*Guu”
“Are you still sleeping? Just for how long have you been planning on sleeping?”
The current time was 8:30 am.
It was after 6:00 am when Arizuki was finally able to fall asleep.
“Orya~”
Mio makes a little run-up and dives toward Arizuki, lying on his back on the bed.
“*Gofu”
“Get up”
Mio’s small body landed on Arizuki’s torso. Even for Mio, that was a little painful. But the person in question doesn’t get up.
“Arre?”
Human sleep alternates between deep non-REM sleep and light REM sleep in approximately 90-minute cycles.
[TL notes: REM = Rapid eye movement. Basically, you see dreams as your eyes move according to the dreams. This stops in a deep sleep.]
About two and a half hours had passed since Arizuki fell asleep. Non-REM sleep is divided into four stages according to the depth of sleep, and now he is in the fourth stage, which is particularly deep sleep.
In addition, staying up late last night and the fatigue of accompanying these scu*bags on a daily basis lured him into a world of ever deeper sleep.
In other words, Arizuki is currently in a state of deep sleep.
“Muu”
If the sheer impact doesn’t wake you up, then next is the sound.
Mio picks up the clock lying next to the bed and sets the alarm on the clock close to the current time. After a while, the clock started ticking.
“Will you prevail even if I do this!”
“Jiririririririririririri.”
I brought the watch to Arizuki’s ear, but he didn’t react anyway.
“Jiririririririririririri.”
“Jiririririririririririri.”
“Jiririririririririririri.”
“… So Noisy”
Mio stops the alarm. If Aritsuki doesn’t wake up, it just goes on to do damage to Mio herself.
“Yuu-nii!”
I go back to bed and turn over Arizuki’s clothes. Put my finger on his moderately formed abs and tickle them.
“Wake up!”
If the stomach had no effect, then the next one was under his armpits. I ride on Yuu-nii’s belly and tickle his armpits. Moreover, I went on and stroked his neck while I was at it.
“…Haa, haa”
But after a while…
I’m so tired. I let myself down on his body and lay face down on Arizuki’s chest. This had never happened before.
“Mou!”
Let’s start already.
I came here first thing in the morning when I heard Mahiru and Asaka both had errands today and couldn’t come to play.
But if I return home without accomplishing a thing, I feel that it would be my loss.
Therefore, Mio picks up the magic pen that is on his desk.
She sneaks up on Arizuki and runs the pen across his forehead.
“Fuhihi”
Now then, let’s return to the first floor for a while and some ice cream.”

“Fuwaaa, I slept well… What time is it now?”
I remember I was in agony because I couldn’t sleep until after 5:00 am, but it seems to be that I fell asleep before I noticed.
For some reason, my sight went towards the clock that was misplaced from my bed, which was showing 5:00.
“I feel hungry.”
I thought I’d ask her mother to cook lunch for me, but the restaurant would be much busier at this time of the day. I wonder if I should go to the convenience store to buy something.
Will it be okay if I go in my pajamas?
The sun is shining so brightly today.
“*giggle”
“Fufufu”
“?”
For some reason, I feel like people are constantly taking peeks at me.
Am I being too self-conscious?
Oh, I see. Is it because I was still in my pajamas?
But a T-shirt with shorts wouldn’t really stand out that much.
“Welco—… eh? fufufu~”
Now then, what shall I get to eat?
I don’t want to eat something that’s too heavy.
I guess I will buy some rice balls and salad?
I’ll get myself some juice as well.
“Ah, thakangyu forh shopping wish ush.”
Such an unprofessional woman saleswoman. She was literally shivering, or was it too cold because of the air conditioning or something?
“It’s so damn hot today~.”
When I went outside, it was scorching hot again.
The temperature difference between the inside and out of the air-conditioned store was drastically different, making the heat feel even hotter.
But I don’t hate summer.
Well, since I am at it. Shall I eat the konbini bento in the park?
Am I the only one who thinks convenience store meals taste better when eaten outside?
I Head to the nearby park and sit on a shaded bench. Mothers with their children sat on the bench next to mine, chatting.
“I wonder what that is.”
“Maybe some punishment game?”
I ate the rice balls and salad and quenched my thirst with juice.
Unn~, such nice weather.
4.
It was around two o’clock in the afternoon when Mio was able to revisit Arizuki.
When I got home, Mother discovered I hadn’t done my summer vacation homework for the previous day.
A curfew was issued until my homework was completed. As a result, I got detained until the time I finished it.
Since I had done two days’ worth of homework altogether, my head was rapidly spinning.
But that’s fine.
Since, from now on, I can play with Yuu-nii,
Thinking which, Mio cheered up.
As expected, he should be awake by this hour at least.
“Oraa, Yuu-nii. Oh, you’re awake, at least.”
“Oh, I’ve been waiting for you.”
“Actually, I came in the early morning as well.”
“This kid, so that was you, after all.”
Saying that Aritsuki pushes Mio down on the bed. Then he started tickling with all his might.
“Uhy~ahy~a, wha–t happ–ened Yuu-nii? Ah~ahaha~ha~ha.”
“What HappeNED?! You wrote ‘meat’ on my forehead, goddamnit!”
“Aha~ha, h~ee he~e.”
“You RUNT!”
Arizuki’s hand went all over Mio’s body.
“Ah~ah~a, no~, stah~p N–NO–no MORE!”
“Don’t worry. I will continue to give my best until you reflect.”
“Aha~ha~haha~, I did. I regret it. SORRY~”
“Do you really regret doing it?”
“I do~. U~hi~hi”
“Okay ~ well then. Phew~.”
“Ha~haha~”
We were both out of breath as we bathed in the wind coming from the fan.
“Okay, so what will we be doing now~?”
“YOU ARE DEFINITELY NOT REFLECTING ON WHAT YOU DID, DAMN IT”
From somewhere, the voice of a cicada cried loudly.
