The Most Beautiful Girl in School Has Become a Mother - SS Episode.5

The morning sun covered my eyelids, and my vision turned completely white. Along with that, my consciousness awakened, and my heavy eyelids naturally began to lift.

Then, a boy entered my blurry field of vision. He was lying on his side with his elbow propped up, staring intently at me. My boyfriend.

“Oh, good morning, Miori.”

He smiled gently and said that to me.

“Huh…?”

For a moment, I was confused. Where am I? Who am I?

I looked around the room and finally realized it was Shuri-chan’s room, recalling the situation from yesterday. I had stayed at his house, and the three of us had slept in a row and side by side.

“Ah… um, good morning, Isaki-kun.”

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, I averted my gaze from him while fixing my bangs.

I wonder if my bedhead is okay. I have no idea about my current situation, so I can’t tell how I might be perceived.

I see, so this is what happens when we sleep together. I’ve learned something new. Next time, I’ll put a comb and mirror by the bedside.

I mean, who would have imagined that on the day I got my first boyfriend, I would end up sharing a bed with him? At least, I didn’t foresee this situation yesterday. It’s quite troublesome, Shuri-chan’s selfishness.

“Wait, huh? Where’s Shuri-chan?”

The one who made us sleep in a row, Shuri-chan, is not here. I thought she was peacefully sleeping in my arms.

She sat up and looked around, but she wasn’t in the room either.

“Oh… Shuri is in the bathroom right now.”

He made an awkward face and averted his gaze from me.

Something seems off.

“So… why is Isaki-kun here?”

Without thinking, I asked.

Right now, there is no one else in this futon or even in the room besides me and him. Normally, he would probably follow Shuri-chan too, but he is staying on the futon. I have started to feel anxious about what he has been doing during that time.

“…I was watching Miori’s sleeping face.”

He said awkwardly, his face slightly reddening.

“Huh?!”

His unexpected words made my heart race and my face flush from the morning.

Eh, he saw my sleeping face? Why? Isn’t that my privilege? By the way, I wasn’t drooling or anything, right? I wasn’t snoring, was I?

I’m in complete chaos due to the sudden, shocking revelation.

“…That’s terrible, enjoying my messy sleeping face.”

Pouting my lips as if to scold him, I say.

I had fun last night too, but since he doesn’t know, I’ll play the victim.

“Being messy? Not at all!”

He hurriedly denies it.

“I thought about waking you up, but… you’re just too cute. I wanted to watch you a little longer. When I think that I’m the only one in the world who gets to see this, it makes me really happy.”

His unexpected counterattack makes my heart race again.

I never thought he would say such a pretentious line. It was so unexpected that it was hard on my heart.

But that excitement felt strangely pleasant.

“T-then, if we’re talking about that, I saw your sleeping face a lot yesterday too!”

I was getting increasingly frustrated because I kept getting my heart racing, so I ended up saying it without thinking.

“Huh?!”

“Well, Isaki-kun falls asleep first. Your snoring and grinding your teeth were really something.”

I made a little joke.

I wanted to see what kind of reaction he would have, and it was also a way to vent my frustration about having seen his defenseless sleeping face.

He slumped down and said, “Seriously… I’m sorry,” then suddenly started searching for a sleep clinic on his smartphone by the bedside.

Oh no. It seems that the serious guy took it seriously.

“Snoring and grinding teeth, huh… I didn’t notice. Was Shuri noisy every night too?”

“Come on… I’m telling you it’s a lie.”

I let out a sigh, burying my face in the pillow, and looked at him.

Somehow, seeing him worry about Shuri-chan was so typical of him that I couldn’t help but smile.

“You weren’t snoring or grinding your teeth at all. You had a cute sleeping face.”

“C-Cute!? My sleeping face!? O-Oh, I see… That’s good.”

I don’t know what was good about it, but he scratched his cheek and laid his head on his pillow.

It seems a bit embarrassing and won’t look my way. Avoiding my gaze, I was staring at the ceiling.

“…It’s kind of strange, isn’t it?”

While looking at his profile, I tried to say what I was thinking.

“Ah. I still can’t believe it.”

He answered while looking at the ceiling.

Surely, both he and I were thinking the same thing.

We convey our feelings to each other, and now we are lovers, waking up together with Shuri-chan.

It’s not something we can do often, but here we are, having a morning like a typical family, even though we grew up in a non-typical family. It’s somehow amusing, and I still can’t believe it.

“What if it were a dream?”

“If it were a dream… I guess I wouldn’t want that.”

“Yeah. Me too…”

Exchanging such words with each other, we lock eyes.

When I stared at him intently, perhaps sensing my intention, he sat up and gently leaned his face closer.

In response to that, when I tried to lean in closer──

“Dad! Mom, are you still sleeping?”

From downstairs, I heard Shuri-chan’s loud voice.

Our lips remain apart, and we both burst out laughing.

“We’re already awake!”

He raised his voice a little towards downstairs.

“Yay! Then let’s make breakfast! Shuri can help too!”

Shuri-chan’s cheerful voice comes back.

It seems she is craving breakfast.

“Then, how about we get off downstairs?”

“Yeah.”

We exchanged wry smiles and got out of bed.

“Oh, Isaki-kun?”

I called out to him as he was about to leave the room.

Waiting for him to turn around with a puzzled “Hmm?”, I stretched a little and gently pressed my lips against his.

“Huh…?”

“Continuing from earlier. Just kidding.”

To the daze him, I said that and went downstairs first.

This is a problem. It seems that I like him more than I thought, and I’m getting carried away. I never imagined I would do something like this on my own.

How am I going to suppress these feelings at school from now on? No, before that, today. Even though Momo-chan and Matani-kun are coming this afternoon, how can I act as usual?

Thinking about that, I feel a bit anxious. Even though I should be anxious, my cheeks naturally relax, which is quite troublesome.

And the person I love is not just him.

“Mom, good morning!”

When I went down to the living room, my daughter, or rather, his sister, ran up to me and hugged my belly.

“Good morning, Shuri-chan! What are you making for breakfast?”

I hold her tightly and hug her really hard.

I love this child just as much as him. They are both precious to me. After all, they are both family to me right now.

In the future, even if various difficult things happen, I believe we will be just fine. We will overcome them together as three and create enjoyable days like this. I had that conviction.

We will continue to build our own memories, just the two of us. From now on, forever──.
