Volume 2 Chapter 7 Special Ways To Fall Asleep
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
When I climbed up the hidden stairs to the second floor, I could look down at the entire living room. From the living room, you couldn’t see me. So, I had no idea there was a second floor. This apartment has a really strange layout.
Above the part of the living room with a half ceiling is Risa-san’s study, which has a simple desk with a laptop and a bookshelf filled with medical books.
The master bedroom seems to be located directly above the room I was going to use and the room next to it. Risa-san uses it as her bedroom.
And across the hallway from that is the bathroom and laundry room.
”You can use the towels around here however you want. So, I’m going to sleep now, okay?”
”Yeah, good night.”
Risa-san showed me around the second floor and then went into my room.
(I guess I should take a shower and go to bed too…)
But──
I thought it would take a lot of explaining and convincing to get into Risa-san’s house since I showed up unexpectedly. I expected it to take more time, but it was surprisingly easy.
Why did she accept me with such a simple explanation? I looked at the closed door of Risa-san’s bedroom, feeling puzzled.
After taking a shower, I changed into a T-shirt and sweatpants, just like I would at home. I dried my hair and brushed my teeth. Now, all I had to do was sleep.
I was about to head to my room on the first floor but stopped in front of the door.
(Is that… a man’s voice from Risa-san’s room?)
There was no noise. It didn’t seem like she was being called from work. It couldn’t be an intruder… Could it be that I have a roommate too!? And sharing a bedroom? That would be too much!
If that’s the case, I wouldn’t have a place with Risa-san.
(Sorry, Risa-san)
I just needed to find out who the roommate was. I bravely put my hand on the door and slowly opened it.
”…No one here.”
Only Risa-san was sleeping in the bed. There was no one else, but I could hear talking. I searched for the source of the voice.
(What is that… a speaker?)
I know about sleep methods that play classical music or sounds of waves and rain to help you sleep. But I never knew there was something like “a man whispering and talking continuously.”
I had never heard of that before. Plus, this man’s voice… I definitely recognized it from somewhere. But I couldn’t remember where.
(Wow… I want to sleep, but I’m really curious.)
I couldn’t help it. I felt uneasy. If I listened a little longer, I might figure it out. I moved closer to the speaker with a few small lights and listened carefully.
Maybe because I was more tired than I thought from coming here, listening to it made me feel sleepy.
(This is bad. If I find out, I should leave the room right away.)
I quietly sat on the bed where Risa-san was sleeping. At that moment, Risa-san turned over, and her hair brushed against my hand. It felt ticklish.
As I stroked Risa-san’s hair while listening, I started to doze off too.
(Ah, that’s right… I think… it started this month… the anime where the main character gets transported to another world…)
Before I knew it, my consciousness was sinking deeper and deeper. I was supposed to sleep in my room on the first floor, but I ended up sleeping in Risa-san’s bed.
