We get into bed and lay down, but I couldn’t sleep.

There is enough space between me and Rio for two people.

Even so, I was conscious of the fact that I was sleeping in the same bed as Rio.

“Are you asleep?”

Rio talks to me.

“I’m awake.”

“Can’t you sleep?　Are you nervous?”

“Well, yes, a little.”

At my age, I rarely have a chance to sleep with a girl.

When my younger sister was still small, I used to sleep with her, but now that kind of thing has disappeared.

“Something like that, after I met Ryo, I gained confidence.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

“I was worried about my parents’ expectations and pressures, but after meeting Ryo, I don’t think about those things so much anymore.”

Rio’s father is the president of a large company.

It is understandable that he has high expectations for Rio, who was raised as his only daughter.

Although esports is finally becoming well known in the world these days, it is still not well recognized and only a few people are even able to make a career out of it.

“I didn’t realize how much fun gaming could be.”

“I’m the same way.”

I originally started playing games to escape reality.

However, when it became a job that generated money, I simply stopped enjoying the game.

“I enjoy playing games with Rio. Even if it has nothing to do with competitions or anything like that.”

Forcing myself to play something I don’t enjoy will only make it harder.

“Yeah”

“I’m the same way.”

I know that Rio is being told various things by her parents.

However, it was the first time that I met someone who made me think that the world is not just a dream with this person.

I don’t know if such a person will appear in the future.

“So, thank you.”

“Yes.”

After I said that, my memory was cut off.

I fell asleep.

♢

The next morning, I woke up to the light coming in through the window.

I look at the clock, and it shows 9:00 a.m. I woke up much later than usual.

Rio, who was supposed to be next to me, was not there, so I guessed she was already awake.

I got up and left the room.

I hear noises coming from the living room, so I head that way.

“Good morning.”

“Oh, Ryo, good morning. Breakfast will be ready soon.”

Rio was standing in the kitchen wearing an apron.

“Rio, can you cook?”

“Well, it’s not that difficult.”

After saying that, breakfast was laid out on the table.

Fried eggs, toast, salad, and yogurt.

“It looks delicious.”

“It’s been a long time since I cooked for someone.”

Rio lives alone, so even if she cooks, it will probably be for one person.

“Itadakimasu”

I sat down opposite Rio and ate.

“Yes, it’s delicious.”

“I’m glad.”

Rio was smiling with a satisfied smile on her face.

She’s so cute.

“What do you want to do today?”

“I’m off, so I don’t have any plans.”

“I don’t have any projects today, so I’m off too.”

I heard that Rio has a few days off because she receives work requests from various places.

“Then, do you want to stream? While playing games.”

For us, streaming is like a hobby.

It’s pure fun.

“Great!　We have a lot of games!”

“Okay. Shall we play after we eat?”

It was a public holiday today, so even in the daytime, a good number of people would be gathering.

Thus, our impromptu plan was decided.
