Episode 14: Inevitable Explosion of Real-Life Happiness

— December 25, 2056 —

As Satoko Nakajo woke up to the morning birdsong, what entered her sight was a ceiling she knew but hadn’t paid much attention to.

(Yeah, I’ve been to Senpai’s room a few times during our student days, but I’ve never laid down on my back… Wait, my head hurts!?)

Turning her head with a movement resembling the abrupt cutoff of oil, she saw a small round table with numerous beer cans bought at the convenience store lined up.

Apparently, she was perfectly hungover, but facing reality, today was Monday.

“Ugh, it’s stuffed. Sleep. That’s it.”

Mumbling these ineffective words, Shiro, a new graduate and a working member of society, clung to Shirou, who served as a substitute for a hot water bottle. She rubbed her face against the chest of Shiro, who was in a loose T-shirt.

From an outsider’s perspective, he seemed like he was about to be teased as a cat. However, he couldn’t remain motionless in this situation, and even when the room’s owner sat up from the carpet on the floor, his actions showed no signs of stopping.

“…Why are you here? I’m sure I gave you the immersion dive bed.”

“Mm, when I woke up in the middle of the night, Senpai seemed cold, so I warmed you up.”

Sato’s nonchalant response was to be expected. Since she hadn’t anticipated hosting someone, there was only bedding for one person, and it was indeed quite chilly.

However, when Shiro, in just his underwear after taking off his stylish clothes and putting on a man’s white shirt without permission, was pressed against intimately, he sighed. Considering various approaches and thinking about the development projects he was working on with all his might, he was suddenly hugged like a pillow.

“Let’s rest together today, Senpai~”

“Ugh, stop it. Don’t press your soft flesh against me; you’re lowering my SAN value!”

“Mm, rather than deceiving me with those words, you’re being captivated by me. Just admit it honestly.”

“Anyway, if both of us take the day off today, unnecessary misunderstandings will arise!!”

Wrapped in the same bedding, the semi-naked man and woman played around for a while. As the glasses-type wearable device’s camera, left on the table with the power still on, peeked at their cozy appearance, Krim’s patience reached its limit.

Although explaining her current situation to Satoko was troublesome, driven by a faint electric signal piercing her heart, she interfered with the audio device connected to the quantum computer.

“Hey, stop fooling around in the morning. Let the real-life happiness explode!!”

“Eek!?””Ah!?”

Sudden voices startled them both. Satoko, who was unaware of recent circumstances, sat up, looked suspiciously around the room, and then suddenly bowed her head, lost in thought.

“Somehow, I’ve heard that voice before… Cream, Hilt?”

The junior girl, who was utterly surprised, revealed widened eyes. Just then, the glasses-framed terminal was placed on her ears.
