Chapter 558: Getting Married Tomorrow

Sunday.

Yukinoshita woke up unusually early today. Recently, she had picked up a terrible habit of sleeping in from Himekoji. She felt she really needed to think hard about this.

After moving in together, her carefully planned self-study schedule wasn’t following the set rhythm at all.

This was almost impossible to believe for Yukinoshita, who prided herself on having perfect self-control.

She needed to reflect, sum things up, and find the root of the problem.

Yukinoshita immediately lifted her eyes to look at Himekoji sleeping soundly beside her.

Found the root of the problem!

So annoying! Sleeping so soundly like that! Such a dead look to him! He must have completely forgotten about what they were supposed to do today!

Angrily, Yukinoshita kicked Himekoji off the bed.

The blankets flew open. Himekoji, stark naked, tumbled out. He rolled rhythmically across the floor, ending up sprawled with five limbs in the air.

Yukinoshita blushed and made a small sound of annoyance. She grabbed a piece of cloth nearby, meaning to cover Himekoji’s indecent part (that extra limb). But, as she threw it, she realized what the cloth apparently was…

Yukinoshita hurriedly lifted the blanket and peeked under the covers—

It really was!

And, the cloth missed its mark. It didn’t cover the one down below. Instead, it landed on Himekoji’s head.

“Oh, this living together stuff really is… beyond my wildest imagination.”

Yukinoshita sighed. Feeling both shy and annoyed, she pulled the blanket up to cover her hot cheeks.

Wasn’t the ideal trial-marriage life supposed to be much greener and much healthier than this!

This was practically willingly falling into depravity…

Himekoji hit the floor with a heavy thud. Groaning and holding his aching back, he woke up. Blinking blearily, he found darkness all around.

“Oh, dawn hasn’t broken yet. Might as well sleep a bit more.”

“Sleep, sleep, sleep! Is that all you think about! Didn’t you promise to get up early today?”

Because Yuigahama and Hikigaya were coming over today.

Yukinoshita had struggled a long time, weighing it up, before she finally told the other two members of the Service Club about living with Himekoji.

As for how that situation went… well… it was hard to describe.

“Because it’s ‘early rise,’ that means waiting until it is morning to get up,” Himekoji yawned lazily. He felt a ticklish sensation near his nose, along with a faint, familiar scent. What covered his face felt smooth and soft.

It was comfortable.

Looking completely exasperated with Himekoji, Yukinoshita hopped off the bed, wrapped in the blanket. Her face still red, she used her delicate, tiny toes to precisely flick the underwear off Himekoji’s head.

Japanese-style pure black girls’ underwear.

By the way, this was Himekoji’s favorite pair.

The light coming through the window finally reached Himekoji’s eyes.

“Dawn’s broken?” Himekoji rubbed his sleepy eyes. Seeing the suddenly close, lovely little face in front of him, so fragrant and flushed pink, he stared blankly for a second before blurting out, “So beautiful.”

The scenery at dawnbreak was, naturally, the most beautiful thing.

“Huh? Wha-… what nonsense are you spouting first thing in the morning!” Yukinoshita flinched back, flustered. She nervously patted her hair; it must be a total mess just after waking up, right?

Oh, and she hadn’t even washed her face either! Thinking about that, she felt she really should have tidied herself up properly before waking Himekoji.

Total misstep!

“Yukino looks beautiful again today.” Like he had spotted her worried thoughts on her face, Himekoji offered another compliment.

No, maybe it was just stating the fact again?

Anyway, because he loved her, her face never got boring to look at.

“Saying these things to flatter me won’t work!” Just as the corners of her lips threatened to lift against her will, Yukinoshita caught herself. She worked very hard to keep her face proper and serious, raising her eyebrows sternly.

“I know. Action speaks louder with more sleep power.” Himekoji also put away his grin. He nodded seriously at Yukinoshita. Of course, the laughter dancing in his eyes couldn’t be hidden at all.

“I’ll prove it with action!” Himekoji rolled over and sprang up from the floor, lunging towards Yukinoshita.

He grabbed the blanket she was wrapped in, yanked it off, and threw it aside. It billowed open in midair like a fluttering banner.

Smooth, porcelain-white skin, great expanses of it, was suddenly exposed to the air. Like snow beneath snow, it melted into water under the touch of the morning light.

Himekoji pulled Yukinoshita back onto the bed with him.

No rolling around fight happened. Himekoji looked into Yukinoshita’s eyes and said seriously, “I’ll count 1, 2, 3. Let’s fall asleep together.”

After moving in together, they had actually never really done it even once in the real world. Everything happened inside their dreams.

Because Yukinoshita was pregnant, wasn’t she?

Himekoji had no plans to start his staff teachings just yet.

……

Half an hour later—

“I can’t sleep.” Yukinoshita was the first to give up.

Himekoji also got up from the bed with a wry smile. Indeed, sleep wouldn’t come. Because the two of them had simply slept way too much these past few days…

“Well then, let’s start studying for real.”

“Okay.”

Himekoji stopped Yukinoshita’s attempt to put clothes on. He scrambled eagerly to the window and pulled the curtains shut. Then he quickly bounced back. Plopping down half-sitting against the headboard, he pulled the completely bare Yukinoshita close. Nestled together cheek-to-cheek, they began watching a movie.

A Chinese movie.

Yukinoshita learned quickly. In less than a month, the two could even occasionally flirt in Chinese inside their dreams.

Chinese movies were also part of their daily studies.

“Let me put my clothes on…” Yukinoshita felt Himekoji’s hands starting to get mischievous. She held out her hand, demanding her clothes back.

Himekoji pretended not to hear. He stealthily used his foot to nudge Yukinoshita’s clothes even further away.

Yukinoshita naturally saw these little tricks. All she could do was sigh and somewhat unwillingly accept it.

“Honestly, I feel less and less like myself,” Yukinoshita ended up sighing. “I don’t even know if this kind of living together is really good or bad.”

“It’s definitely good! Think about it, liking someone might make you feel less like yourself, but liking the right person? That definitely means you’re finding your real self.”

“So, are you the right person?”

“I hope I am the right one.”

Coming from someone who was usually always wrong, this statement was undeniably strange. But it surprisingly got a nod of agreement from the always-correct Yukinoshita.

“You are the right one!”

On this point alone, Yukinoshita was completely certain.

The feeling when they were together never lied.

Though it had only been a short month, Yukinoshita felt this was the kind of love she had wanted.

Marriage and starting a family were the end goal.

Tomorrow, should they just go register?
