“Welcome!”

I greeted the customers with my usual sales smile.

I’m sure it looks like a smiling face to the customers, but …now I’m struggling to fight the sleepiness.

The person responsible for this was sitting in her usual seat, eating a donut with a small squirrel-like mouth, looking satisfied.

I was tempted to complain, ‘You don’t even know what I’m going through.’ But when I saw Rin happily eating a donut, my face naturally broke into a smile, and I felt my anger drain away.

Well, I can’t complain about it.

I’ll accept the current situation, in the hopes of repaying my debt.

However, there are two things I’d like you to give me a pass on though.

One, is time for a bath.

“Shouwa-kun, I’ve boiled the bath, so please go in first. I’ll go later.”

“No, I’m good I’ll go later.”

I can’t do that. I can’t do that. I’m a guest, and if I go in first, I’ll contaminate the water. Besides, I have a long baths…”

” Then, please go in first. I’m a shower person, so I don’t soak in the bathtub.”

“But—”

Well, there was such an exchange.

After this, we had to decide by rock-paper-scissors, and as a result, Rin decided to go first.

I turned on the TV on blast, completely cutting out the sound of dripping water.

With that, I managed to counteract the nervousness I got from imagining Rin’s current state…

To be clear, this is bad for my heart.

Rin, who has a strange lack of caution, taking a bath at my house…

However, I would undoubtedly see her after her bath.

Maybe she’ll come out with one towel wrapped around her?

Such concerns crossed my mind.

—In the end, I decided to wait outside for about an hour.

…It’s really hard to be bitten by mosquitos.

By the way, I didn’t soak in hot water.

No, it’s impossible. Normally…

And the second is the battle over where to sleep at night.

“Oh man, I forgot we only have one mattress…

“Oh, yes, that’s right. …I’d forgotten about that, too.

“It’s not Rin’s fault. Well, for the time being, I can sleep anywhere, so use it.”

“I refuse to do that. I don’t want to inconvenience the host anymore. So, please use the mattress, Towa-kun.”

“I don’t want it. I’m not a feminist or a philanthropist, but I simply don’t feel comfortable letting a girl sleep on the floor. Yesterday, if I had to, I would have…”

“But…”

So there was an exchange of with such words with…

So Rin didn’t take a step back and pushed the mattress against me.

It is a virtue to never bend, but stubbornness in these situations makes my head hurt.

At one point, I even resisted by playing rock-paper-scissors.

This time I lost…

Eventually, the compromise was to ‘sleep on the same mattress with two people’.

…No, but why did this really happen?

That’s all there is to it.

It’s a shameful thing for me to say, but I was talked into it, and before I knew it, I was left with only this option.

Rin should have changed her mind rather than blushing…

Of course, I couldn’t sleep when this happened, and inevitably, I fell prey to the “sleepy goddess” in the morning.

And eventually I ran out of steam and fell asleep.

It’s… déjà vu.

Anyway, that’s why today’s shift is so painful.

In other words… I have to be patient for about five hours.

Yeah, it’s even more painful to think about…

I hold back a sigh that threatens to escape, and tie the edges of my mouth together tightly.

Then I looked sideways at Leah God, who was elegantly enjoying her coffee.

The light coming through the store window illuminated her presence in a way that emphasized her presence.

In the midst of it all, the figure drinking the coffee looked like a finished work of art.

She is so much a part of the scene that it seems as if God loves her.

Well, she’s an actual a god-like person, so it’s not particularly strange.

In fact, I find myself accepting this natural scene, saying, ‘Oh, it’s the same as usual.’

Familiarity is a scary thing. ……
