"...Saito Asuka, Saito Asuka."
Saito Asuka suddenly felt someone pushing her from the side.
He groggily opened his eyes, turned his head towards the sound, and saw his lover standing beside him, her fair hands resting on his shoulders, while she continuously called out his name.
"You stayed up all night again... Wake up, go to bed and sleep."
Seeing him open his eyes and stare blankly at her, the young woman gave him a helpless and displeased look, but in his eyes, this look had no destructive power whatsoever.
—It even looked quite cute.
"There's no one else here, why are you calling my name?"
Saito Asuka, still groggy from sleep, grabbed his lover's arm: "...Isn't it fine to call me like you usually do?"
After saying this, Saito Asuka pouted.
"Come on, give me a kiss."
"Wait... wait a minute!"
The woman whose arm was grabbed blushed slightly, trying to pull her arm out of the man's hand.
But after realizing he was holding on a bit tightly, and seeing his face getting larger and larger in her pupils, she turned her head away, blushing.
"This... this kind of thing should only be done when it's just the two of us!"
"What are you talking about? It's just the two of us right now..."
"Cough cough!"
Before the last word could be uttered, Saito Asuka heard a third person coughing directly in front of him.
Hearing this voice, which was both unfamiliar and familiar, Saito Asuka, finally awake, stiffened.
"Um... good morning?"
Seeing the man's gaze fixed on her, Seiun Sky, with an awkward smile on her face, raised her right hand and waved at him.
"Should I not be here?"
Then, Saito Asuka heard the Black-haired Horse Girl add this sentence.
"..."
Saito Asuka didn't answer, just looked at her silently.
"...What time is it now?"
The man straightened his body and stretched.
"It's almost noon, twelve o'clock, you know?"
The woman standing beside him answered without hesitation: "I came to find you to have lunch together."
"...Twelve o'clock?"
Hearing his lover's reply, the man was startled, then looked down at the time.
Ah, didn't I completely oversleep...
The man, seeing 'You have missed your alarm time' displayed on his phone, annoyedly covered his forehead.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the man's annoyed expression after looking at his phone, the woman leaned over to take a look.
"An 8:30 alarm? Didn't you completely oversleep?"
"Ahaha..."
The man chuckled and averted his gaze: "Sorry, I slept too late."
...An 8:30 alarm?
Seiun Sky, who had been standing by like she was invisible, was first startled, then narrowed her eyes.
Aogami planned to wake up after only three hours of sleep?!
Seiun Sky immediately grasped the key point.
You completely disregard whether your body can handle it, don't you?
Seiun Sky looked at Saito Asuka, who was chatting with his lover, and the corners of her mouth suddenly couldn't stop turning upwards.
...Isn't this where the interesting things begin?
"An 8:30 alarm? But when I came to find Trainer you at around 5 AM, you were still awake, weren't you?"
Seiun Sky tilted her head, feigning confusion.
"...Around 5 AM?"
The expression on the woman's face immediately changed when she heard Seiun Sky say this.
She narrowed her eyes, looking down at the man who was sitting on the chair, laughing awkwardly.
"So... you've only slept for about six hours until now?"
"Um, Megumi, listen to me explain..."
Saito Asuka, stared at by Nakayama Megumi, raised his hands, trying to argue.
"It seems it's true..."
Without giving Saito Asuka a chance to explain, Nakayama Megumi placed her hand on his shoulder again.
"...Let's have a good talk about this, shall we?"
"..."
Seeing that his lover gave him no chance to explain, the man, knowing he was doomed, shot Seiun Sky a resentful look.
"Then I'll go to the cafeteria to eat first, see you in the afternoon, Trainer~?"
Seiun Sky, pretending not to see, turned and left the room.
"Sorry, sorry... Don't pull my ear, it hurts, it hurts!"
The moment the door closed, Seiun Sky clearly heard a plea for mercy escape through the crack in the door.
"Click."
Seiun Sky gently closed the door.
...Alright, next, to the cafeteria!
Seiun Sky walked away from the door with light steps.
...
"Oh! Fūga, you're here!"
The cafeteria lady, seeing Seiun Sky walk into the school cafeteria, clapped her hands, drawing the Black-haired Horse Girl's attention to herself.
Seeing Seiun Sky walk towards her, she then turned around and took out a plate full of food.
"Wow... it looks so delicious, doesn't it?"
Seeing the plate placed in front of her by the cafeteria staff, filled with enough food for four people, Seiun Sky clasped her hands in surprise: "Thank you, Auntie, for your hard work, I'll eat it all!"
"No trouble at all, no trouble, after all, you're the only student in this academy right now."
The cafeteria staff answered with a chuckle, then asked: "But why are you so late today?"
"Before coming here, I went to the Director's office."
Seiun Sky, picking up her plate, replied, then thought for a moment and added: "...He's with his lover right now."
"Ms. Nakayama is here... It seems he won't be able to eat the lunch prepared today."
The cafeteria staff thought for a moment, then turned and took out another plate: "In that case, you eat his portion too."
"Too...?"
Seiun Sky was a bit hesitant: "...But I can't eat that much?"
"That's true."
The cafeteria staff nodded, then picked up chopsticks and put some meat onto Seiun Sky's plate: "Then eat more meat."
"You can only run fast when you're full."
"...With you aunties around, how could I possibly go hungry?"
Looking at the few pieces of sweet and sour pork placed on top of the rice, Seiun Sky complained: "And if I eat too much, aren't you afraid I'll get fat from being greedy and won't be able to run?"
"...You're right."
Hearing Seiun Sky's words, the cafeteria lady nodded in agreement after a brief thought.
Then... under Seiun Sky's bewildered gaze, she picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork and put it into her own mouth.
"Why are you still looking at me? Take it, take it, the rest is all yours."
After swallowing that piece of meat, the cafeteria staff, seeing Seiun Sky still staring at her, kept waving her hand: "You have to eat it all, okay? Don't waste it."
"I understand."
Unable to refuse their enthusiasm, Seiun Sky could only pick up the plate in front of her, filled to the brim, and walked towards the dining area.
I'm eating more and more each day, is my weight really okay?
Seiun Sky, who had found a random seat, reached out and pinched the flesh on her stomach.
...I won't get fat, will I?
