Akechi Hideyori Rolls Over

I’ve always tried to create as much free time as possible not only for Golden Week but for long holidays in general.

I’d finish my homework early and prepare everything I’d need in my eventual return to school so that I can just laze around and play Galge every day.

Still, overdoing that can also be counterproductive.

I could barely keep my eyes open and the fatigue made me oversleep.

And since I stayed up late last night, it was probably noon already when I woke up.

.

Should I get up though…..?

Maybe I should sleep in a little longer…….?

.

Anyway, I rolled over to change my sleeping position.

.

.

“……….Nn?”

.

.

My hand touched something under the blanket.

It was warm and soft.

…….did I put something on my bed last night?

.

.

“……….”

.

.

I must be dreaming.

Yep, I’m still in the dream world right now.

With that lucid dream where Kurusu-san appeared the other day, I won’t be so easily agitated by something like this.

The existence of Gifts, meeting my favorite game character Miyamura Towa, living inside the world of [Breaking the Chain of Sadness], my encounter with a literal God who sowed Gifts upon the world, the siscon who has the ability to erase said Gifts.

Now that I’ve experienced such supernatural stuff, I won’t be perturbed by a dream where some strange objects appear on my bed.

.

Still, what is it though?

It’s a pain to open my eyes to look so let’s just touch it and find out.

.

For the time being, as far as I can tell right now, I’m guessing that it’s a random pillow I forgot was there.

I moved my body a little and touched the mysterious object.

.

.

“……Hmm?”

.

.

Is this fabric?

Maybe it’s a huge hugging pillow?

But there’s this skin-like sensation a little away from the fabric part too.

.

Skin-like?

Ah, it’s a person……

Well, this is just a dream anyway.

.

.

“Nn? Nnn……, Hideyori-kun……”

“……..?”

.

.

It sounds sloppy but that’s Emi’s voice, right?

Why do I hear Emi’s voice here though?

Maybe it’s the voice of Emi’s voice actor?

Sasaki Emi was her debut work, I think……?

.

She didn’t have that much screen time and her name was completely unknown but I do like her voice.

It’s possible that she might have become insanely popular after I died too…….

She invested herself a lot into the role of Emi and I think she’s kind of a model voice actor because of that.

[[There’s a lot of Emi-Antis but she was only manipulated and she’s actually a good girl!]] I was actually moved to see her passionately defend Emi like that on social media.

Before I knew it, I was already her follower.

In fact, I was looking forward to seeing her play Emi again as a heroine for the second game but it’s a shame that her route got scrapped because of all the hate……

.

.

“HeHe, Ohh…….Hideyori-ku~~n.

“…….?”

.

.

Emi’s voice sounds happy.

I know that dreams can be pretty realistic sometimes but there’s this kind of voice-only dream too huh?

With my eyes still shut, I pinched my cheek.

.

.

“Ah, that hurt…….”

.

.

A dream that looks real, sounds real, and feels real.

That’s just reality, right?

.

………..Why is Emi sleeping in my bed? Her hair is down too.

When I nervously opened my eyes, I found Sasaki Emi lying next to me with a happy look on her face.

.

.

“………..?”

.

.

The situation is too much for me to make sense of.

Eh? Did I go to sleep with Emi last night!?

.

And it’s not morning, rather, it’s almost noon already…….

.

.

“Uh, Eh?”

.

.

Did I do something to Emi?

I don’t remember…….

.

Did I actually graduate from my virginity………?

.

No way, if my V-card is actually gone then at least let me remember how it went!?

.

.

“Emi!? EMI!? EMI-CH~~AN!? Wake up!? Emi-chan!?”

“Nn……morning, Hideyori-kun.”

.

.

Emi whispered so in her sleepy voice.

.

.

“Yeah, morning.”

“Nn…. ……….it’s Hideyori-kun.”

“Yep, Hideyori-kun here. Don’t you feel anything strange at all about this situation?”

.

.

The still sleepy Emi’s eyes turned to dots.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen Emi without her pigtails.

.

.

“Strange…….?”

“Yup, there’s something strange right?”

“…….the fact that Hideyori-kun didn’t attack me is indeed strange.”

“You’re still half asleep aren’t you……..”

.

.

Emi’s eyes are still narrow.

Her mom told me once that it’s a pain to get her to wake up.

Seems like I really have no choice but to wait for her to wake up on her own……..

.

.

“Why are you sleeping here though……..?”

“It’s Hideyori-kun’s fault……I came over and you were still in bed…….so I slept too…….”

“Eh!? It’s my fault!?”

.

.

Now she’s just being unreasonable…….
