**Ding—Dong**
“Huh…?”
The sound of the chime echoed through my room in the early morning mercilessly dragging me back to the real world from my dreams.
I don’t even remember what kind of dream I was having at this point. Whether it was a nice dream or a nightmare, being forcefully awakened might have been the continuation of the nightmare.
Rubbing my half-awake, sleepy eyes, I somehow manage to pick up my smartphone from the bedside table and lit up the screen. My eyes, not yet accustomed to the light, had a hard time opening fully as I checked the time.
“Six…twenty…seven.”
It looks like my smartphone clock is showing 6:27 AM.
What kind of joke is this at this hour? Who might it be? A prank? If it is a prank, it is a pretty serious one.
**Ding—Dong**
It seems like it’s not a prank after all. There’s someone who has serious business with me in the early morning.
Judging from the sound, the person is still pressing the intercom at the entrance of my apartment. The sound of the intercom button being pressed at the entrance of the apartment building, where you press the button below the room number, is Turu Turu.
In other words, the person pressing the intercom has already entered the apartment building. That means that he/she is a resident of the apartment building. In short…
**Ding—Dong**
“Spare me…”
I can roughly guess who it is, and while I was still only half awake, I tried to get my brain to work and got out of the bed.
Normally, at this time, I’d still be wandering in my dreams, but I walked along the hallway of my own house in a daze. I finally made my way to the front door.
There stood a silver-haired fairy with a charming smile on her face as the morning sun illuminated her face even more.
“Good morning.”
“What kind of joke is this so early in the morning?”
While I’d like to say that seeing a beautiful girl as the first thing in the morning is the best thing for a man, my biggest sin right now is not lust, but sloth. I want to go back to bed right away and experience the pleasure of sleeping.
“You promised, didn’t you?”
“Promise…?”
If a man made a promise with a beautiful girl, he wouldn’t forget it. So I can say with confidence that I didn’t make any promises with Yuki Ohira to meet up in the early morning. Even if I did make a promise, I’m not a morning person, so I think I would have made the promise later in the day.
“Have you already forgotten?”
I quickly received the response, spoken in an exasperated tone.
“The food expenses. We made a promise to split the costs and cook every day, didn’t we?”
“Ah.”
Even with my dizzy head and half-closed eyes, I finally remembered the promise. We made the agreement yesterday during lunchtime in the student council room. The proposal was a very appreciated matter for me, so I couldn’t forget it.
Huh?
“Isn’t that just for dinner?”
“No, it’s for all times. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, isn’t that how it should be in the first place?”
“I see…”
I opened my mouth dumbfoundedly, revealing a stupid expression.
I had assumed it was just for dinner, so this was an unexpected turn of events.
“Well, can you let me in? I’ll make breakfast for you.”
While saying this, she half-forced made her way in.
She wasn’t trying to do anything bad or forceful by coming in, so I let her in without any questioning.
She came into my room with a familiar stride, placing her school bag in the corner. She then pulled out a cute cat apron from her bag and put it on with practiced movements.
“Do you have any requests for breakfast?”
“I want tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelette)…”
Even with my head still not fully awake, the answer came out immediately when asked what I wanted to eat.
“Got it.”
With a simple answer, Yuki Ohira opened the refrigerator in my kitchen. She let out a small sigh and smiled wryly.
“This refrigerator only has toothpaste, huh?”
Saying that, she picked up the toothpaste and threw it towards me, which I reflexively caught.
“I’ll go get the ingredients from my house. Brush your teeth and wait for me.”
“Okay.”
As instructed, I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and finally I was fully awake now.
It was an awakening of the brain that was an hour and a half earlier than usual.
During that time, Ohira Yuki seems to have quickly prepared breakfast for me and arranged it on my kotatsu table. As requested, a beautiful tamagoyaki was included.
“It looks delicious.”
“Well, let’s eat it then.”
We sat facing each other at the kotatsu table. We clasped our hands together and said “Itadakimasu” before starting to eat our breakfast.
First, I decided to try the tamagoyaki that I had requested for breakfast.
“How is it?”
Yuki Ohira looked at me with slightly worried eyes and asked me about the taste of the breakfast.
“It’s delicious. It’s sweet and the taste is just to my liking.”
“I’m glad.”
With a relieved sigh, Yuki Ohira also ate the tamagoyaki.
“Tamagoyaki tastes different depending on people’s preferences. It’s difficult to make it, but I’m glad it suited your taste.”
“Yeah. I want to eat this every day, even though I’m usually someone who doesn’t eat breakfast.”
“It’s okay. You can eat it every day.”
Upon hearing this, my chopsticks stopped.
Depending on how you look at it, what she just said could be seen as a proposal for me to have miso soup made for me every day. However, there is something even more important now.
“Every day…?”
“Oh, Morigami-kun. Can I leave the apron here? I’ll be using it again tomorrow.”
“You’ll be coming again tomorrow?”
“It’s part of the contract.”
Answering me lightly, Yuki Ohira said it as if it had nothing to do with her.
“You always sleep late and get ready for school at the last minute, right? From now on, I’ll wake you up at this time every day.”
“You’re a devil in a maid’s clothing.”
“You mean a goddess, right? They say that waking up early has its benefits and it’s a good and refreshing feeling. Having a maid like me, who’s like a goddess, waking you up every morning and making breakfast for you is even harder to come by than winning the lottery, you know?”
“Don’t say it like that…”
Even though we were eating delicious tamagoyaki, I let out a big sigh and felt depressed. Is she really going to come here every day at 6:30 in the morning? Is this some kind of morning training?
“I’ll pay for the food, so can we skip breakfast or something?”
“That would be a breach of the contract. Denied.”
“Can’t you come a little later?”
“If I come any later, there won’t be enough time to make breakfast and I won’t be able to crush your spirit, so that’s also denied.”
Ah, so that last part was her true intention. This maid is trying to crush my lazy lifestyle. Oh no, I’m scared.
“How unfortunate.”
“You mean fortunate, right?”
She was smiling but her eyes were not smiling at all…
