CH-66.2

 Chapter 66.2

Sasha looks down in thought but doesn't seem to remember at all.

"You'd already gone when I got up though…"

Misha shakes her head.

"That was the second time."

"Lie…Really…?"

I see. Sasha fell asleep again after Misha told her.

"Fumu. Sasha's weak in the mornings it seems."

"I'm not really…"

Misha nods at me.

"Very weak."

"I'm not. It just takes me a while to get out of bed, my head is all fluffy and my memories a bit vague. That's all."

How is that not weak? Have you listened to yourself?

"What's with those triumphant eyes?" (S)

"It's fine. It's nothing to be ashamed about. Being weak in the mornings isn't a problem. Your life isn't over because of it."

"Can you stop talking like you're saying something really important?" (S)

I told her she didn't have to be ashamed but it looks like she didn't understand what I was saying.

"Whatever. It's fine. Let hurry up and get going." (S)

As soon as Sasha started walking Misha hurried after her.

"…Angry…?"

"About what?"

"…I went alone…"

"I don't mind that. It can't be helped that you expressly left early this morning and made a big detour to Arnos's house."

Misha looks down thinking.

"…I won't go anymore…"

"Why? I said I don't mind. If Misha wants to go then just go."

Misha falls silent and I start laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing at all except you've done nothing but lie since we met up Sasha. If you wanted to come to my house you should just say so."

"I…I didn't say I wanted to come or anything…"

Her words feebly drop off at the end.

"There's no point in being stubborn. You are weak in the mornings and couldn't come anyway but don't worry about it. In front of me, your morning weakness means nothing."

"…Errrm. You seem to be exaggerating a bit there but what do you intend to do?"

"I'll come to you and wake you up myself."

"…Eh."

Sasha's face turns beet red.

"I'm not as nice as Misha. Don't think I'll let you fall asleep twice in front of me."

I look into Sasha's eyes while talking.

"…Ah…"

"What's your answer?"

Sasha couldn't meet my eyes and looks down.

"...Yes..."

Sasha's answer is very faint. Is it really so embarrassing not being able to get up in the morning?

"We can all go together next time." I say to Misha who nods happily.

"…Bu…but…its weird that Arnos will come to wake me up just so I can go to Arnos' house."

Sasha starts mumbling to herself.

"Yo. Good morning."

I turned around and Ray was standing there.

"Yo."

Misha and Sahsa say good morning to Ray together.

"Have you always gone to school together?"

"No. It's just a coincidence this morning."

Ray walks over to my side.

"Oh, by the way. Do you have any idea where I can find a good demon sword?"

"Fumu. A stand-in for Initeio?"

"Because it was spectacularly broken it can be fixed but it will take quite a while so I need a replacement for the time being."

Fair enough. Not like he can have Sheila become his sword every time he needs one. I wonder if I've got a suitable sword for Ray in my treasury?

"Good morning everyone!"

In the distance, Misa waved at us and runs over to us where we greet her.

"This is unusual all of you attending school together."

"Yeah. Apparently its a coincidence." Ray says.

"That's right. *Fufufu* but it's nice being able to attend school this way since I was always alone in the mornings." (Misa)

"That's surprising. I didn't think you were someone that got lonely easily."

"Ahahaha…That's a secret…"

As two people make a little exchange we continue on our way to Deruzogedo enjoying the tranquil morning calm.
