“Yuzuru-san. Yuzuru-san… please wake up.”
“Hm…?”
Woken up by a cute voice like an angel, Yuzuru finally opened his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, there was a girl who was as pretty as an angel, after all.
It was Yuzuru’s fiancée, Yukishiro Arisa.
“…Arisa? Were you staying over today?”
“What are you sleeptalking about?”
The girl’s face was aghast at Yuzuru’s question.
And then she sighed.
“You have class today, right? Don’t lose any credits, okay?”
“Classes… credits… Wah!! Arisa, what time is it?”
Arisa’s words made Yuzuru jump up in a panic.
She looked around and checked her watch.
“It’s 11:30. Go brush your teeth and wash your face.”
“A, ah… I got it!”
Yuzuru rushed to the washbasin.
He brushed his teeth, washed his face… and realized he hadn’t brought a towel.
“Sorry, Arisa. Get me a towel…”
“Here you go.”
Arisa then draped a towel over Yuzuru’s face.
Before he knew it, she was standing behind Yuzuru.
Yuzuru wiped his face with the towel he received.
Arisa heaved a small sigh at Yuzuru.
“You are in too much of a hurry. There is still one hour left. Please calm down.”
“S-sorry…, but, thank you.”
“Please fix your bed head, too. I’ll have a change of clothes and writing utensils ready for you.”
With that, Arisa walked away from the washbasin.
Yuzuru checked his head again.
Well, there were definitely some bumps in places.
(If it’s this bad, I’ll just wax it…)
Wouldn’t it be easy to fool the others if he just put it on properly?
But Arisa would not have a good look on her face.
Yuzuru thoroughly wet his hair with water and dried it with a hair dryer.
Then he lightly shaped it with wax.
When he left the washbasin and went to the living room, Arisa was already waiting for him.
She had clothes in both hands.
“Sorry to keep you waiting… Thanks for preparing everything.”
“Finally, you started to look cool.”
Arisa handed Yuzuru the clothes as she said so.
Yuzuru took the clothes and began to take off his jersey, which had replaced his nightgown.
“He-hey…! Please don’t take off your clothes all of a sudden!”
Arisa exclaimed with a faint blush on her face.
Yuzuru couldn’t help but laugh.
“Isn’t that fine? We live together. Even inside the underwear…”
Yuzuru involuntarily screamed.
Because Arisa stepped on his foot.
“Don’t say anything strange in the morning!”
“No, it’s already noon…”
“You know exactly what I mean. Please get dressed quickly.”
“That’s why I was just trying to get dressed.”
Yuzuru complained, but got out of the living room and dressed quickly.
Then he put the clothes in the laundry basket and went back to the living room.
“Is this all right?”
“Yes. Here is your bag with your writing materials in it. Please check the contents.”
“Yes… This is fine. Sorry for the trouble.”
“Please pay me back with interest. Also, here. Your breakfast… though it’s more like lunch.”
Arisa said and handed Yuzuru an onigiri wrapped in plastic wrap.
There was only one but it was rather large.
“At the very least, you need to eat to function, right? Eat that and then we’ll leave.”
“Thank you. Right, it’s as delicious as ever.”
Since high school, his fiancee’s food had never ceased to be delicious.
However, the taste was not the same.
The taste was more advanced now that four and a half years had passed since they met.
“I don’t think it makes any difference who makes the onigiri though…”
Despite saying this, Arisa’s cheeks relaxed happily.
This kind of bashfulness was no different from the old days.
“Thank you for the food.”
“Sorry for the poor taste. Shall we go…?”
“Yeah, let’s go.”
Thus, Yuzuru and Arisa left the apartment and headed for the university.
After high school graduation.
Yuzuru and Arisa successfully entered university.
They currently attended the same university, attended the same campus, and lived in the same apartment.
The only difference was the department.
After finishing his third, fourth, and fifth period classes, Yuzuru went to the library on campus.
He looks for his fiancée, who should have already finished her fourth period class today.
Fortunately, he found her immediately because of her conspicuous appearance.
“Sorry to keep you waiting. Did you wait long?”
Arisa was just working on something on her laptop.
There was a stack of books by her side.
“No, I was writing a report too. I just finished that too.”
With that, Arisa closed her laptop and stood up.
“Then, let’s go home. Can we stop at a supermarket on the way?”
“Of course.”
The two left the library as they were.
And when they left the campus, instead of going straight home, they headed for the neighborhood supermarket.
“I’m so glad you came to get me today. It was a big help.”
On the way, Yuzuru again expressed his gratitude.
High school students all followed a similar schedule and curriculum, but at the university, everyone had it differently.
Today, Yuzuru was in the third through fifth periods, while Arisa was in the second through fourth periods.
Yuzuru had overslept, thinking that he would be fine since it was afternoon, but Arisa went out of her way to come and pick him up.
“You’re welcome… please wake me up if I oversleep, okay?”
Arisa said with a laugh.
Yuzuru nodded with a wry smile.
He couldn’t imagine Arisa oversleeping.
The two then talked about today’s class, their recent activities in the circle, and other such trivial matters…
They arrived at the supermarket.
“What do you want to eat today?”
“How about beef stew?”
“Great.”
The menu was set, and the two of them put the necessary ingredients in the basket.
Beef, mushrooms, onions… and red wine.
“Huh? Arisa… will you be using that?”
Yuzuru tilted his head when he saw the red wine that Arisa put in the basket.
Of course, Yuzuru knew that red wine could be used in beef stew.
But the red wine that Arisa put in her basket was too expensive to use for cooking.
Normally, she would have bought a less expensive wine for cooking.
“This is for drinking.”
“…You’re going to drink it”
“Yes, since I’m done with my report.”
Arisa said in a good mood.
Both Arisa and Yuzuru were already over 20 years old.
They were at an age where buying and drinking alcohol was acceptable.
Legally, there was no problem.
And since the next day was Saturday… and neither of them had classes, there was no problem with drinking.
“Is there a problem?”
Arisa asked, tilting her head, perhaps uncomfortable with Yuzuru’s reaction.
Yuzuru shook his head sharply.
“No, not really… If we’re going to drink, I might as well get some cheese or a ham.”
“That sounds good. Also, let’s buy a bunch of stuff for tomorrow’s menu.”
The two bought what they needed, paid the bill, and went back to their apartment.
“Then let’s get to work on it… Can you help me…?”
“Of course.”
And so they began to cook dinner.
TN: And thus the time skip. Author has already posted 13 chapters in preparation for the final volume release next week. I will be following a release schedule similar to the last volume as my time is still the same.
