Episode 29 A Chat In The Darkness

TLed by: TanoshiKara

As planned, I stayed over at the house of the Degures.

Of course, Shuuei-san and Minaya-san also know about the plan this time. The preparations are complete.

All that is left is to wait in this darkness for Miya (?) to come.

|Ahhhh, ahhhh, can you hear me? Rei|

While I waited, pretending to be asleep with my eyes half-open, Dad's voice echoed in my mind.

|Yeap, I can hear you|

|Ohh, this sure is convenient|

|Right? There is no need for phones, which is nice, huh|

Dad and Mum are currently in one of the rooms in my apartment.

As there was the possibility that I would fall asleep if I merely waited, it seems like they decided to be my conversation partners. We would be found out if we did it normally through phones, so telepathy was our best option.

|But, this is only possible if it goes through me, so telepathy is impossible without me|

|That is a shame|

|I thought that, with this, it would be possible to talk to my son at any time|

Even without participating in the conversation, hearing the conversation between Dad and the others helps to stave off my boredom.

|......So sleepy|

The time now is past half past midnight. Additionally, the room is pitch black, and I am in a comfy futon. As I played outside for the entire day, my exhaustion has piled up as well. The plan has just begun, but, honestly speaking, I am feeling sleepy.

|It is about willpower, Rei! This is for Miya-chan's sake as well! What would you do if the personality within Miya is bad!?|

|No matter what I decide to do, I can only converse right now|

It is an ability that surpasses reality, but it is not one that is suited for combat.

I can fight quite well, but my opponent is Miya after all......it will be hard to even if she is a bad person. In the first place, saying that she is a bad person is just too vague.

|Just like how a deity like Cuare-chan exists, living things like demons might exist as well! After all, this is a two-dimensional world!|

Demons, you say. It is true that, if the world had been what it was up until now, those types of beings would have been existences found in works. However, the world is now a two-dimensional one, and even deities exist.

It has come to the point that what Mum has said might be possible as a possibility.

It is possible that the other personality within Miya might be...

|Cuare. Do you not have any information about those kinds of things?|

|I wonderr. The Chief Deity might know something, though. I wonder if they will tell me.|

If my opponent is a demon, then this is not on a scale that I can deal with.

I am begging you, please do not be a troublesome existence......

An hour after that. The hour passes with no sign of Miya coming. As expected, my eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, and it is getting risky.

|Is she not here yet?|

|It might be that she will not come today. Perhaps she is still in the middle of her interval?|

Or did she catch on? That arrow was gone in the afternoon, and the arrow was not there when we parted ways as we said good night. She might be observing today as she caught on.

|Just a little longer. Do your best for just a little longer! Fight, Rei!!|

So you say, Mum. It would have been fine if the lights were on and I was doing something. But I am doing nothing in this darkness, and my eyes, although slightly open, are more or less shut. Having quite a bit of exhaustion piled up is also starting to take its toll and......T-This is bad.

|Kgh! Since it came down to this, I shall sing you a song that will blow away your sleepiness!!|

I appreciate your sentiment, but that is just annoying......

|Wewww, the tea's delicious|

|Hey, you|

Even though I want to drink something like coffee to fight off the drowsiness... Ah, this is bad......My consciousness is......

|Rei? Rei! You can't sleep!! Reiii!!|

I managed to endure for around thirty minutes, but, unable to win against the drowsiness, I sank into the darkness.

. . . .

"......I have blundered"

When I checked the clock in the room after I woke up, it was already past seven in the morning. I got up and went to the washroom. Using the mirror, I used my ability to look at myself.

"It did not increase, huh"

There is no increase in the number of times each of the existing acts was done, and there have also been no additions of any act whose names I do not know.

In other words, this is proof that Miya did not come even after that.

|Are you awake, Cuare?|

I tried calling for her through telepathy, but there was no reply.

She is probably still sleeping.

I called for Dad and Mum, but there was no response as well.

The three of them probably went to sleep after I fell asleep.

"Yo, morning"

The moment when I tried to wash my face to wake myself up.

Miya greeted me energetically from behind.

"Uh-huh, good morning"

"You seem sleepy"

"I had some things to think about, so I slept late"

I was actually waiting for you to come, though.

"You can consult me if you have worries, you know?"

Miya glanced at my face, as if she was telling me to try talking to her.

There is no way I can tell you. The fact that I am worrying over you.

"It is fine. It is not that big of a deal after all"

That is why I replied nonchalantly and splashed cold water on my face.

"Here, a towel"

"Thanksss"

After that, I went to the living room together with Miya and ate breakfast alongside Shuuei-san and Minaya-san.

"You two. Was it fun yesterday?"

"You bet it was fun! My enthusiasm was all maxed out because it had been a long time since I got to hang out alone with Rei!"

"Good for you, Miya"

While drinking hot coffee after my meal, I looked at Miya using my ability.

......There are no changes. There are no arrows as well.

(Is there a short interval, as I had expected?)

Today is the last day of Golden Week as well. Dad and Mum will head back in the evening.

As a son, I would like to do something together with my parents before they head back, but...

"Say, Rei"

"What is it?"

"Setsuna-san and Ichiya-san will head back today, right?"

"Yes. In the evening. I plan to send them off at that time"

"In that case, I would like them to eat our cuisine that has evolved during these past three years!"

How about it!, or so Miya said as she walked closer to me.

"Eh?"

"Hm? What's wrong?"

It appeared. Even though there was nothing earlier, there is now an arrow beside Kiss (Lips).

"N-Nothing......Anyway, I will tell them about what you said earlier. The two of them would most likely want to eat the food here before they head back, after all"

"Or so he said, Dad! It is time to show off your skills for the first time in a long while, Dad"

Nah, Shuuei-san's cooking is a little...

"There is no helping this, huh......I shall put my skills on display for the two of them!"

"Do your best, okay, Shuuei-san?"

Minaya-san, you should have stopped him there.
