After another period of ti, Eriri was urged by her biological clock and slowly opened her eyes.
The mont she opened her eyes, she saw Kaede's sleeping face right next to her.
Moving her body, Eriri realized she was being held very tightly and couldn't get up.
She glanced toward the curtains, where the sunlight looked quite bright. Not knowing the ti, Eriri could only push Kaede and call out, "Kaede-kun, what ti is it now?"
Kaede, who had woken up twice already, quickly opened his eyes, smacked his lips, and said, "It should be around 8:30."
"...Eh? 8:30?!"
Eriri cried out in surprise, imdiately scrambling out of Kaede's arms, shaking him and saying, "Hurry up and get up! We're going to be late for school!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Kaede grabbed her arm, pulled her back into the quilt, and held her tightly.
"It's fine, I already took the day off. Let's just rest today. Weren't you tired last night? Oh, wait, it seems I was the only one busy."
"Kaede-kun, don't say that!!!"
Eriri's face flushed red; she didn't dare recall what happened last night. She bumped her small head against Kaede's chest repeatedly, and only after a long while did she ask, "Did you really take the day off?"
"Don't worry, of course it's real. I wouldn't skip class for no reason."
Squinting his eyes, Kaede said, "Around eight o'clock, I sent a ssage to Kitamura and Usami, asking them to help request sick leave, saying I caught a cold last night."
When Eriri heard that he had already requested leave, she instantly cald down. She also realized her body felt a bit weak, so she closed her eyes contentedly, preparing to go back to sleep.
Unfortunately, before she could sleep much longer, a ow and the sound of the Cat scratching at the door rang out from outside the room.
Kaede and Eriri opened their eyes simultaneously and said in unison: "Cat food..."
Although they really wanted to sleep right now, the Cat at ho would usually have already eaten breakfast at this ti.
Having no choice, Kaede told Eriri to keep sleeping. He climbed out of bed, put on his pajamas, and staggered to the door, opening it.
At the doorway, Caarra, along with the rapidly growing Golza and lba, were obediently squatting. Upon seeing Kaede, they imdiately started owing.
"Alright, alright, stop owing. I know, I'll prepare breakfast for you right away. Co here."
Not letting the Cat run into the bedroom, Kaede closed the door behind him as he ca out. He then went to the living room, took out the Cat food, and poured it for the Cats.
This ti, they finally stopped owing.
Kaede stretched, walked over to the balcony, and checked the weather outside.
The sun was bright and the sky was clear, but the wind occasionally blew, making Kaede feel a bit cold even though he was indoors looking out.
"Mhm, since I rarely take a day off, I'll sleep well this morning."
After saying that, he went back to hug Eriri and continued sleeping.
anwhile, on the other side, at Toyosaki.
Kitamura Yusaku didn't encounter any problems requesting leave for Kaede. The teacher readily approved the leave after finding out, given Kaede's grades and the fact that it was only one day of sick leave.
Similarly, things were about the sa on Usami's side, except that since Kaede was the one who ssaged Usami about the leave request, it inevitably made her overthink things, and her cheeks were slightly flushed on the way to the staff office.
During the break, Takasu Ryuji ca over to Kitamura and asked, "Why did Asakura suddenly take the day off?"
Kitamura Yusaku spread his hands and said helplessly, "I don't know either. He sent a ssage at eight this morning, asking to request sick leave for a cold for him."
"A cold?"
Takasu Ryuji thought about it. This guy usually ca to school dressed warmly with Sawamura, even wearing an obviously couple's scarf, and he exercised regularly. Would soone like that suddenly claim to have a cold?
"Why don't I believe it?"
"Hahaha, I don't believe it either."
Kitamura Yusaku chuckled, suddenly thought of sothing, took out his phone, and sent a ssage to Usami in Class A, asking if Eriri had co to school today.
Seeing Usami's quick reply, Kitamura wore a look of sudden realization: "I knew it. Sawamura also took the day off today, and the reason is also a cold. Furthermore, it was Asakura who inford Usami and asked her to help request the leave."
"Both of them got a cold?" Takasu was getting more confused. Could they really have caught a cold?
Kitamura, who was clearly much more perceptive than Takasu in this regard, stroked his chin and analyzed: "Hmph, I think those two definitely wanted to enjoy so alone ti. Heaven knows what those two did after going back ho. Well, never mind, a cold is absolutely impossible. Don't worry about it."
Since Kitamura had spelled it out, Takasu Ryuji finally understood. He gasped and said, "Amazing, truly amazing. But only they have the ability to take ti off without hesitation. Others truly lack the capability and the guts."
"Hehe," Kitamura Yusaku whispered, "That being said, I wonder what the teacher's expression would be if they knew these two are already living together?"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't stir up trouble!"
"Relax, I know the limits when it cos to this; I've never carelessly spread rumors," Kitamura Yusaku waved his hand and said calmly. "But when class starts tomorrow, I definitely have to tease that guy properly. Seriously, can't normies restrain themselves a little?"
Since you already call them normies, whether they restrain themselves or not seems irrelevant... It wasn't until close to noon that Kaede and Eriri finally slept enough and both got out of bed.
After showering and washing up, both of them, still in their pajamas, ca into the living room.
"Kaede-kun, I'm hungry..."
Taking out the coffee machine, Kaede asked, "Eriri, what do you want to eat? It seems we don't have any ingredients at ho, so I'll have to go out and buy so."
"Hmm... you have to go out and buy them? How about takeout?"
"Let's forget about takeout," Kaede said after thinking for a mont. "How about we go out to eat, and then hang out outside for a bit this afternoon?"
Eriri imdiately beca interested, her eyes shining as she said, "Hehe, everyone else is in class while we go out to play. Isn't that a little naughty?"
"Since we already took the day off, it's not like we can go back to class. We might as well make good use of the ti and go out to relax. We can start working after we get back this afternoon. How does that sound?"
"I agree!!! I'm going to change!" Saying this, Eriri jumped up from the sofa and excitedly rushed toward the bedroom. "I'm going to change!"
"Do you still want coffee then?"
"No! I'll drink so hot water and eat a little bread, and then we'll go out for sothing delicious!"
