Chapter 16: Interlude, The Most Precious Thing In My Life

“…Ugh…um…?”

I must have fallen asleep at some point.

The surrounding scenery is familiar but not accustomed, it’s the Tea Party’s lounge.

Why am I here?

Why was I sleeping here…?

When did I fall asleep… I’m sure Sora gave me tea… Ah.

“This is bad….”

This is bad.

I still have host duties left for the early morning.

The current time is…still around 5:47 AM… I can still fix it.

Sora might have gone home, but I have to do it alone.

There’s no other way, isn’t there?

It’s a task that no one but me can do.

I have to finish it quickly.

To collapse when I was almost at the end, with only the conclusion remaining, I’m still lacking.

-Clack, Screech-

I ran to the host’s office and opened the door, and the scene that unfolded was….

“Oh my… You’re up early, Nagisa…”

Sitting on the sofa, processing work with black tea, Sora, with a slightly tired expression…and Seia, who fell asleep with Sora’s right wing as a blanket, with documents still in her hands, and Mika, who fell asleep on the desk with a pen still in her hand, were sleeping with small, soft breaths.

“Sora…what is this…?

“Nagisa…haven’t you looked in the mirror lately…? You were in bad shape, you know? Thanks to that, Seia and Mika, who were worried about you, caught me and I was stuck like this…?”

She quietly lifts up the already completed documents.

With Mika’s cool and clear work method, the documents are completed with beautiful handwriting.

With Seia’s wise and almost orthodox way, the documents are completed with neat and tidy handwriting.

Between them, there are documents completed with handwriting I’ve never seen before, ordinary and slightly off, with a work method and handwriting that emphasizes efficiency.

“Sora…don’t tell me…”

” “

While I was reading the documents, Sora also seems to have fallen asleep with her head drooping at the very end.

All the documents were well processed, without any flaws.

Come to think of it…how long has it been since I had a good night’s sleep?

In the corner of the office, there was a container with the logo of a store that deals only in quite famous tea leaves.

The type of tea is…lavender tea, a tea that had the effect of relieving tension, right… I see…

“…I…need to thank you…and also lecture you…”

The three of you conspired to put me to sleep, huh?

This could cause problems politically.

Still…today, just for this moment, I’m filled with gratitude.

I must have been too sharp and running forward only recently.

I couldn’t see my side, I couldn’t see my back, I couldn’t see the people who held my hand.

“It’s still a bit chilly…”

I moved Mika from the chair to the sofa, straightened Sora’s posture, and took out a blanket that hadn’t been used but was still steadily maintained, covered the three of them, and left the office.

I turn off the lights and lock the door.

The door can be opened from the inside even if it’s locked, so this way it won’t be noticed by others…

The two most precious people in my life, no, maybe it’s three now.

To blend into our gap in such a short time, you’re a scary person, aren’t you?

Still…thank you.
