67 Day IV (1/2)
”Nee~ Yuuji.”
”Hm?”
”I... want to ask you one thing...”
”What is it, Hanako?”
”Why is Mio attached to you like that?”
”Oh, this?”
Early in the morning of our fourth day here, Hanako and I were talking in the cabin of the yacht Mio brought. Even though it is in no condition to sail because of the exploded engine, the cabin still works finely. There might be no water or electricity here but hey, at least there's the emergency food supply! The seats inside the cabin were quite nice too. Since the yacht is made to accommodate a moderate number of people, the seats were arranged in a u-shaped formation. We decided to each take a side of the seat to sleep on. However...
”Unyan~”
Mio is now hugging me. There would be nothing strange if this happened on the bed in my room but we're now on a deserted island. Our designated seats were literally metres apart. Still, she somehow sneaked onto my seats at night and attached herself to me...
”Uh... It's normal, I guess?”
”Huh? What do you mean 'it's normal'?”
”You see, since quite a long time ago, whether I wanted it or not, she would always find a way to climb into my bed and attach herself to me.”
”Wha?!?!”
”At first, I was still able to detect her presence and drive her away, however, in the past few months, she perfected her sneaking technique and was able to climb onto my bed without me noticing. And since a few weeks ago, we made a certain deal in which I would become her hugging pillow so... it's normal, I guess?”
”...”
Hanako was speechless after what I said. I wasn't extremely surprised, though. Who wouldn't be speechless after what I said?
”Stay still, Yuuji...”
”H-Hey, Hanako... W-What are you going to do?”
Hanako advanced towards me steadily and...
”Whoa?!?!”
”Heehee~”
