As soon as I recognized it, I woke up.

(Why, why!? Why is Lord Arnold here...!)

Looking down at Arnold, who was in a hurry to get up and close his eyes while lying on his back.

(Also, rest on the same bed as me...)

Maybe it was because Leechee was using his bed.

Arnold may have had a hard time seeing Leechee asleep.

Of the two beds, I don't know why he didn't use the other one, but I was upset by the fact that he was sleeping side by side immediately.

Anyway, we have to be careful not to wake His Highness.

Arnold was at the edge of the bed because Leechee was in the middle.Worried that it might have been too narrow, Leechee leaned away from Arnold.

(...... I thought you wouldn't come back to this room today)

The moonlight from the window is watering the summer curtains.

The moonlight faintly illuminated the bedroom, casting a clear shadow of eyelashes on Arnold's white cheeks.

(Did you come back to this room because I was afraid of ghosts?)

I'm sure you're right about that.

You kept your promise to sleep with Leechee.The back of her chest tightened tightly, and Leechee hugged her.

(I have to get back to my bed....)

I know, but I can't move.

I feel like I've been staring at my sleeping face, like it's frightening to get separated.

Just then, Arnold's well-shaped eyebrows gathered and slightly distorted his expression.

Could it have woken you up?

I was jumping, but apparently it wasn't.

(..... ah)

Arnold's forehead was slightly sweaty.

After feeling something unexpected, I rethink that something is not wrong.He is certainly a human being, even though he has a beautiful shape like a doll.

The candlestick of sweat was such as to make it clearly known.

(I'm sure it's hot in here.)

Leechee winked at the window.

The windows on the sea side are closed.I was afraid to open the window in my own room.

Maybe Arnold pumped it and left the window open.

However, at night, in this season of July, it should be difficult to sleep in this condition.

(But you need to get some sleep.)

To do that, we need to do something about this closed room.

Leechee made up her mind and tried to get up from the bed.

It is frightening to approach by the window.

On top of that, I was more afraid to open the curtains.Because if you open the gap a little, I feel that it might be a good fit with my eyes.

Just at that moment, a small shadow passed through the window.



Your shoulders are bouncing and your heart is about to stop.While holding Arnold's sword beside him, he carefully watched outside the window.

(Well, that's okay. The way that shadow moves is a bat, no matter what you think.)

The knowledge of the hunter's life is no doubt true.Even if you know, you can't wipe out the possibility.

(It's not a ghost, it's a ghost...!)

Leechee tells herself.

I stopped breathing, stood up ready and put my hand in the gap between the curtains.Touch the window frame with your hand, unlock it, and then open the window.

(Slowly, quietly, don't wake me up)

The sea breeze pushed open the curtains.

Leechee exhaled and hurried out of the window.So as not to make a noise, he quickly sat on the bed, let go of his sword, and then settled next to Arnold.

(That should do it...! The windows are open, there's nothing outside, and the problem should be solved!)

Forced to do so, I put my hands on the bed and woke up.

I carefully peered into Arnold's face to avoid disturbing his peaceful sleep.My forehead is sticking to sweat and I feel like combing it.

However, the hand I was trying to reach for stopped.

Because Arnold's lips made his short exhalation go away.

"...... ah"

The breath oozed with a painful sound somewhere.

A soft sea strokes your sweaty skin.But Arnold's eyebrows are getting more and more crooked.

(Maybe)

It may not be due to the heat that sweat oozes into my forehead.

(... are you dreaming...?)

When I realized that, I reached out to Arnold again.

If that's not a good dream, I want to shake him up right now.

But if not, I want you to sleep a little longer.I wonder what I can do in this emotional space.

But the next moment.

"Haa..."

The world swept upside down.

Grabbing your wrist, pressing your shoulder, the world reverses.I tried to take the passport, but there was no room to move one finger.

"Ahh!"

She sank down on her back to the bed and was pressed from the top of her body.

Both wrists were sewn to the side of my face, and I put my weight on them.

The moment I looked up, my eyes were as sharp as a carnivorous beast.

"...... ah"

Ice-cold eyes looked straight down at Leechee.

But in an instant, Arnold opened his eyes.

Then she quietly lowered her eyes and leaked a monologue like calling something that wasn't supposed to be here.

"---...... Leeche"

It's a voice that confirms something.

Leechee looks up at Arnold in an irresistible manner, still being pushed down.

He responded by exhaling and relaxing his strength.

"Yes...... Your Highness, Arnold"

……

Arnold grabbed his eyebrows.

After that, she slowly bent over and pushed herself to the bed, dressed like a leechee.

Your Highness?

Leechee whispered in her ear.

"... sorry"

"Ugh!"

The eardrum trembled and Leechee sat down.

In order to withstand the tickling, I tortured myself slightly.But Arnold caught me, and I can't move freely.

Your Highness, your hand.

With a troubled face, he turned his attention to Arnold's caught wrist.

With your body in close contact, it's hard to beg.

"Get your hands off me..."

……

When Leechee asked, it was only for a second.

Yeah.

Arnold spins his words word for word.

"... I know"

Leechee is not at all heavy, even when covered.

Perhaps because Arnold cares not to be crushed.He first released Leechee's wrist in the same position.

……

The more the illusion of being spared from letting go, the more the fingers gradually unravel.

I felt I was grabbed hard, but there were no marks on my wrist.Leechee stares at her white wrist somewhere.

Eventually, Arnold woke up and the two bodies were separated.

Leechee confirms it, and then she gets up on the couch.

I stood on my knees and stretched my free hands forward without hesitation.



And then I cuddle Arnold.
