Chapter- 43★

Rie's point of view

　…This morning, I was with Mamoru-kun! He saw my sleeping face! Even in my dream, Mamoru-kun came to wake me up. …But, there's no way that was real, right? I'm sure I hugged Mamoru-kun in my dream... but Mom has had a picture of me being carried like a princess by Mamoru-kun Yeah, let's not do that. We shouldn't think about it any more.

　In the end, my mom woke me up. We moved to the sofa in the living room... Who on earth was it that carried me?! It was Mamoru, just like in the photo?! Or was it my mom who brought me to the living room and Mamoru picked me up there?! Either way, why didn't I wake up?! At the very least. Yes, if only I had woken up when Mamoru was carrying me like a princess! It was such a great chance for him to spoil me! I would have been able to feel his warmth, and be close to him naturally! I'm such an idiot! But Mamoru was warm in my dream, too. ...Ah! I, I feel like I'm thinking like a pervert...? If he found out about this, he'd be turned off by it, right? I have to hold myself back...

　All sorts of emotions were mixed up, and my consciousness flew away in an instant. …The photo that my mother has is too dangerous! I have to retrieve it somehow! …I, I don't particularly want it, but, yeah. If I get it, I'll look at it before I go to sleep to build up my tolerance! Then I'll have good dreams every day.

　And when I regained consciousness, right in front of me was... Mamoru's face!? Huh? What!? Why!? Not understanding what was going on, I quickly lowered myself, and felt a heavy impact on my head... I was already in a panic, so I was surprised and reflexively pretended to be in pain. In fact, it didn't hurt at all, in fact, he was using my head as a pillow!? That's what was more surprising!? Mamoru is making fun of me!? If he's making fun of me like this, then even every day. No, after all, my heart (and reason) wouldn't be able to take it if it was every day, so it's no good! Once every two days... No, I'd like him to gradually increase the frequency from once a week.

　But I made Mamoru-kun worried by complaining about the pain. I have to reflect on that. …I put my own feelings first when Mamoru-kun was so worried about me. Ah, why am I being so selfish? It's only natural that he would hate me for being like this, right? …No, no, no. There's no point in feeling depressed, right? I have Mamoru-kun by my side, so I should have fun! Whether I'm depressed or having fun, the time I can spend with him is the same...

　…But I decided to do so. I absolutely do not want to be late!!
