Chapter 437: In Your Dreams (1/2)

Hey Nene, I’ve been wondering about this for a while…”

“””What’s that?”””

“When one of you—-I’m just saying that for the sake of convenience, but when only one of you is asleep, how do the other two feel?”

Taiyou had always pondered this.

It wasn’t too important or crucial. But they were already having small talk.

“Before we met you…”

“Whenever we were separated it was the same…”

“It was like one eye was closed and sitting there idly.”

“Yeah, I sort of get it, I sort of don’t. No, I mean I get the closing one eye part, it’s like having your eye covered by someone’s hand to where you can’t use it.”

“””Yes.”””

“Plus I do recall you saying it felt like there were ‘eyes on the back of your shoulders’. I get that, but what do you mean by sitting there idly?”

“We mean we’re fully awake…”

“And doing something…”

“But suddenly wonder what we were doing.”

“Hm…”

With his sight blocked by the eye mask, Taiyou pondered all this as he felt the nearby presence and warmth of the three sisters.

He did feel that sensation quite often. Sometimes he’d be doing something and the memories from earlier would suddenly slip out.

They said it was close to that.

“So you experience that pretty often, I take it? Cuz I see one of you doze off first quite a bit.”

“””Yes.”””

“And that isn’t inconvenient or anything?”

When he asked that, they replied that they were accustomed to it.

Taiyou questioned whether that was all.

As expected, Taiyou found this to be interesting (in a good way) and something to aspire toward.

The only brides he felt aspiration toward were the sisters.

As they were doing this and that, Kotone began breathing sleepily in his arms.

The two who were massaging him continued moving their hands, probably because of everything they had just discussed.

“Taiyou-san.”

“We have somewhere we’d like to go with you sometime.”

“Hm? Where?”

“We’ve actually entered into a competition.”

“In fact, we already have a product lined up. Would you like to come see it with us?”

“Competition? Like for patchwork or something?”

“”Yes.””

“Wow, I had no idea.”

He remembered what they were doing in their club.

“So is this part of your extracurricular activities?”

“Yes, if we don’t get some results the club budget might decrease.”

“I sent the finished work to the competition venue.”

“And have the results come in?”

“No, not quite yet.”

“At least not until after the new year.”

“But either way, I think you’ll blow ‘em out of the water, Nene.”

“No, I don’t think so.”

“It’s a section that’s open to the public with lots of people entering.”

“Public? So you might get working adults too.”

“Yes, and artists among them.”

“Usually there are a lot of people among them who set up their own exhibitions.”

The two sisters sounded just a bit weak in the knees.

Even the massage felt a bit weaker.

“Huh. But either way, I think you’ll blow ‘em out of the water, Nene.”

Taiyou repeated the exact same thing he said earlier.

It wasn’t mere flattery. He truly thought that way.
