Chapter 87 (2/2)

I feel like the prince became calmer now.

I remained like this for a while, but then I remembered my mom stroking my hair, so I gently stretched my hand towards his.

…… It’s unexpectedly soft…4

I thought his hair would be quite rigid, but it’s quite comfortable to the touch.

It feels similar to when Eru curls on my lap, but a bit different.

I wonder if mother5 felt like that too…?

「He is sleeping so comfortably… Should I pull a prank if he doesn’t get up…? 」

Speaking of pranking someone that is sleeping, isn’t graffiti to the face a cla.s.sic?

While thinking of such a thing and stroking the prince’s hair, he woke up.

「… Was I…… Sleeping…?」

The prince slowly murmured that while opening his eyes.

As I looked at his face, our eyes found one another.

My hand that was stroking his hair stopped.

「…… Good, morning…」

I was so surprised from him getting up, that only these words came out.

「…… Aah… For how long was I sleeping? 」

The prince stared at me with blurry eyes, still not grasping the situation.

「It hasn’t been too long, about four and a half minutes.」

I stiffendly answered the question.

「Is that so? I’m sorry for the trouble… By the way, what am I laying at? It’s soft and comfortable…」

The prince’s hand casually caressed my foot as if he was exploring.

「Hyau-」

I was surprised at his sudden action, which made me leak a strange sound. A ticklish sensation rose on my spine.

「Oh, Prince…. That, is mine…」

Seemingly still half-asleep, the prince’s hand was moving up through my thighs while rubbing itself a bit.

I couldn’t endure it and suddenly raised myself, finally noticing something, the prince got up and looked at me.

「So-sorry! I was still half-asleep… I’m truly sorry!」

He noticed what he was doing and hastily apologized.

I was embarra.s.sed that he stroke my thighs, but I know that the prince was half-asleep, and I also made a lap pillow.

「N-no… it’s okay… If you liked it, it’s okay…」

Both of our faces are probably bright red, and I have no idea what I just said.

I was too embarra.s.sed after giving him a lap pillow, so I was kept on looking down.

For a while, we didn’t exchange any words, we just kept on looking down, with the occasional gaze towards the other, which followed another look down when our eyes met.

「Ah-ah… Did you put the blanket on… I’m sorry…」

The Prince noticed the blanket by his side, and handed it to me after folding.

「Ah, no…… Because the wind is chilly… I thought you could catch a cold…」

I will reply while putting the blanket on my backpack. I still can’t raise my face due to embarra.s.sment.

「Do you want to walk a little? There is something I wish to show Sakura. It is quite the unusual thing, but I think Sakura will like it, since it’s beautiful.」

I feel like things won’t change for as long as we stay here, so I jumped at the proposal.

「Yes, I want to see it…」

I tried to answer clearly, but I became embarra.s.sed when I saw the prince’s face, so I looked down again…
