[Wednesday 2 May 2018]

The morning had arrived at Nekomiya Residence.

Riku, who woke up from dreamland, found himself being cuddled by Rimu in bed. It could be seen that this sister of his treated him as a body pillow again. 

Ever since the bunk bed was transformed into a single bed during Nia's stay, they never bothered to return the bed to a bunk bed again. And so, they slept together in the same bed from that day on.

Seeing Rimu's sleeping face in her pajama, Riku couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh. 

He wanted to get out of bed to do his morning routine but couldn't. Because unexpectedly, Rimu's embrace was a bit strong that Riku couldn't get himself out unless he used stronger force. Of course he could force his way through, but he didn't have the heart to do it as it would definitely disturb Rimu's sleep.

"Oh well, it's still Golden Week anyway."

Riku thought for a while and decided to sleep again.

Golden Week was still going on and there wasn't any need to go to school. A few more hours of sleep won't be a problem. Besides, Rimu is his twin sister, which means to him, she is his other half who was born at the same time and from the same womb.

Being cuddled by her, he didn't hate it at all.

'The shampoo that Rimu bought really smells good.'

And so, Riku closed his eyes and resumed his sleep.

♠♠♠

A few hours later.

When Rimu opened her eyes, she was greeted by Riku's sleeping face. At first, she thought she woke up too early, but when she looked at the wall clock, it was already 9 o'clock.

"Wait, what? 9 o'clock?"

Rimu immediately got up from the bed and opened the window curtain, and as expected, the sun had already risen quite high.

Seeing this, Rimu couldn't help but sigh.

"I overslept..."

The originally dark room suddenly brightened up with light from the window, waking Riku from his sleep as well. He cutely yawned in the bed as he greeted Rimu. Anyone who saw his current appearance would probably doubt his gender.

"Hoahm... Good morning, Rimu."

"...Good morning, Riku. I didn't expect you to oversleep today."

Rimu replied with a complicated expression.

Originally she planned to wake up early to continue drawing illustrations. But unexpectedly, the natural alarm clock (Riku) didn't wake her up on time as usual.

This is a time loss (RTA feeling), though, it wasn't a big problem.

"It's still Golden Week anyway. A little sleep is fine, right? Hoaahm...." (Riku)

"Well, you're not wrong. But, what about your Soccer Club?" (Rimu)

So she said while picking up her smartphone on the desk, checking her incoming messages.

When she saw that there was a reply from Gururu, she smiled. Sure enough, Gururu agreed to her proposal and let her try to create the plot scenario for the game.

But she quickly hides this smile.

"Today is the last day of the Club Exhibition. At this stage, having me or not doesn't really matter.
Instead of me, how about you? You skip the Karate Club exhibition every day. Is it really okay?" (Riku)

"It's fine. You know what will happen if I attended. If I were there, I'd only embarrass myself." (Rimu)

Rimu replied lightly.

The so-called Club Exhibition was an annual event, held every 2nd to 4th day of Golden Week, where every club in the school put on their performance to recruit new club members.

Naturally, this performance was far from Rimu as she was also considered a new member. At most, she could just enjoy the event like a festival, casually watching every club performance.

But, who told her to be so cute? (Narcissism)

If she was there, she would most likely be treated as a mascot!

"I see..."

Hearing her reply, Riku nodded in understanding.

Anyway, Rimu's business has nothing to do with him. He got up from the bed and stretched his body. But then, his intuition felt something strange.

SNAP! (Silent)

Riku: "..."

Although it was silent, but Riku could feel... Did Rimu take a picture of him with her phone?

Maybe it was because he knew beforehand that Rimu was secretly taking pictures of him, so he was aware this time. He thought for a moment, but decided to feign ignorance. Anyway, it was not like he was photographed naked.

Besides, with this, he could just increase the amount of money he would claim on Kouta later.

"Today I am free all day. Let's play some games after breakfast." (Riku)

"Hmm... Okay, count me in!" (Rimu)

Rimu agreed after a little thought.

Even though her work is important, she can't ignore her relationship with Riku. After all, she would have to rely on this future CEO to raise her in the future. At that time, she could just become a NEET without having to worry about food.

And so, the twins went downstairs with their own thoughts.
