The time is sort of over at 11:46 pm.

On the desk, cleared of pots and puddings, are half-eaten potato chips and half-drunk barley tea and cider. And there’s Miyagi subsequent to me with the mattress on her again, neither in a superb nor dangerous temper.

「Sendai-san, have you ever ever rang the temple bell on New 12 months’s Eve?」

After her unfriendly voice is heard, the sound of potato chips being taken out of a bag is heard.

「I don’t, however do you need to go to the New 12 months’s bell ringing?」

「It’s chilly and I don’t should go. I’m simply asking as a result of I believed that when you’re the type of one who goes to Hatsumode, you’ve in all probability rang the temple bell on New 12 months’s Eve earlier than.」

「All I’ve ever performed is go to the temple and draw fortunes.」

「Hmmm.」

Miyagi eats a chunk of potato chips, sounding uninterested regardless of having requested me himself.

What’s unsuitable together with her?

Miyagi silently ate the hotpot, got here subsequent to me and ate the pudding with me, and now we’re speaking about one thing unimportant.

That’s not all.

She got here to my part-time job immediately with out warning and left with me after I did not hold my promise to cease Mio and Noto-senpai.

It truly is loopy.

Miyagi is the type of one who would by no means do one thing good for me simply because it’s New 12 months’s Eve. Climate it’s superb or raining, she’s going to kick and chew me with a grumpy face.

I attain out and contact Miyagi’s cheek.

Her forehead wrinkles thinly, however she doesn’t run away.

I crawled my fingertips to her lips and kissed them as if to test the sensation. I touched the earring and kissed her ear as I did her lips, after which she pressed my shoulder.

「I’m not saying you are able to do that. Simply be quiet and welcome the New 12 months.」

A low voice echoes within the room, however the strain on my shoulders just isn’t robust.

In contrast to me, Miyagi doesn’t appear to really feel that New 12 months’s Eve is particular, however he accepts the truth that we spend it collectively on this room.

That makes me comfortable and brings me nearer to Miyagi.

I kiss her once more on the lips and switch my physique warmth to her, who was known as Shiori-chan by Mio and Miyagi-chan by Noto-senpai.

Each Mio and Senpai are eager about Miyagi, however it means one thing totally different from me. They shouldn’t need to kiss her like I do, nor do they need to contact her.

I’m properly conscious of that.

They’re simply inquisitive about what my roommate was like and simply need to get to know her as a good friend. However though I do know there are not any different intentions, my coronary heart just isn’t broad sufficient to silently settle for a scene the place a brand new relationship is being created in Miyagi. It makes me need to untie the strings that Mio and Senpai are attempting to tie to Miyagi and bundle them to somebody I don’t know.

I nonetheless really feel uncomfortable.

I get scared that Miyagi may go to a spot I don’t know.

I feel to myself that I’m being egocentric and boringly jealous, however I really feel like doing one thing that Miyagi would solely permit me to do to calm myself down.

The physique warmth transmitted via overlapping lips is reassuring.

However it’s not sufficient.

The tip of my tongue pokes Miyagi’s lips.

I would like extra of Miyagi, however her lips attempt to transfer away from me with out opening. I seize Miyagi’s arm and pull her shut, blocking her lips, which she opens to complain, and push my tongue in. I put my hand beneath the hem of her shirt and stroked her aspect, and after I tangled my tongue with that of hers, Miyagi, who couldn’t complain, bit me arduous on the tongue and pushed me on the shoulder.

「Sendai-san.」

Her low voice calls my title.

「It’s okay to have slightly bit. It’s virtually the tip of the 12 months.」

「It wasn’t slightly bit now. Like I stated earlier than, you’ve received to be quiet and welcome the New 12 months.」

Miyagi pulls my hand out of my garments and pushes it to the ground.

「Then a kiss from you, Miyagi.」

「You already kissed me.」

「Miyagi didn’t do it for me. If you wish to greet the New 12 months in a mature method, at the very least give me a kiss.」

「That’s annoying.」

A grim-faced Miyagi stands up. Anxious to go away the room, I seize Miyagi’s garments. However she didn’t depart the room simply to take the stuffed penguin I had on my mattress.

「If you wish to kiss so badly, simply do it with the penguin.」

Miyagi sits again down subsequent to me and presses the penguin towards me.

I’ve no alternative however to simply accept it, however I don’t kiss it.

The penguin is nice to the contact, however not as heat or delicate as Miyagi’s lips, so it might probably’t exchange hers. If I need to exchange her, it’s sufficient to take action solely when Miyagi just isn’t round.

I maintain the penguin and test the time on my cellphone.

11:57 PM.

The 12 months will quickly be over.

「Miyagi, take a look at this.」

Show a big clock on the cellphone and present it to Miyagi.

「Why do I’ve to have a look at the clock?」

「I used to be questioning if you need to see the New 12 months’s first second collectively.」

I would really like Miyagi to kiss me, however it might be a disgrace if the 12 months ended with us arguing about this and that. I don’t know if I can contact Miyagi’s physique, however I can kiss her after the New 12 months.

「I wouldn’t do a countdown.」

「You don’t should, let’s watch the second of twelve o’clock collectively.」

I put the penguin again on the mattress and put my hand holding the cellphone on Miyagi’s thigh. I checked out her face and noticed her forehead wrinkled, however Miyagi stated nothing and dropped her gaze to the cellphone. We stare on the clock. Time is ticking away, and there are lower than fifteen seconds left till January 1st.

Miyagi doesn’t depend down as declared.

I depend down in my thoughts.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

「Blissful New 12 months.」

Once I name out to Miyagi, she responds,「Blissful New 12 months.」I pull my cellphone towards me and silently take one picture of Miyagi.

「I informed you to not take footage with out permission.」

Her hand reaches out with a criticism and I conceal my cellphone from Miyagi.

「It’s the New 12 months, so it’s superb.」

「That’s not a superb cause.」

「Why not take at the very least one image to commemorate the occasion? Since we’re right here, let’s take one other image collectively.」

Miyagi, whose forehead is wrinkled, says “No,” or “It’s not truthful,” and throws a barbed voice at me, however I didn’t care. Simply because the final day of the 12 months is particular, so is the primary day of the 12 months. It doesn’t imply I can do something I would like, however I feel I needs to be allowed to do as a lot as take footage.

「Miyagi.」

I pull her arms and making her nearer.

Miyagi intentionally exhales and says,「Only one picture.」I faux I didn’t hear and snap an image of the 2 of us aspect by aspect. Three or 4 extra footage arrive, and within the meantime, a number of messages arrive. Miyagi’s cellphone additionally rings to announce the arrival of the messages.

「Maintain on a second. I’ll simply reply this.」

I name out to Miyagi, who replies「Me too,」and we each look down at our telephones.

On the display screen are phrases of congratulations for the New 12 months. The senders are my faculty associates, Utsunomiya, and Umina, who reply to every one with the identical phrases.

「Mio and Noto-senpai stated hi there to you, Miyagi.」

The messages have been, in fact, from Mio and Noto-senpai. And there was a message addressed not solely to me but additionally to Miyagi hooked up to it.

From Mio, “inform Shiori-chan Blissful New 12 months as properly.”

From Senpai, “inform Miyagi-chan Blissful New 12 months.”

I didn’t need to say Shiori and Miyagi-chan, so I gave her the final message, however Miyagi appeared tough.

「…Inform them I stated hi there.」

I hear a low voice that made her sound troubled.

I can perceive why Miyagi doesn’t need to be proactive and say hi there.

They have to not be her favourite kind of individuals.

「I’ll talk that to them now」

It’s not one thing I’d exit of my strategy to inform them, however I’ll move on Miyagi’s phrases to each of them. I get a right away response, and Mio desires to speak to “Shiori-chan,” however I brushed it off as random.

「Ami says Blissful New 12 months to Sendai-san over right here, too.」

「Inform her we’ll discuss once more.」

「…Okay.」

Miyagi quietly replies and falls silent.

I don’t dislike vigorous sorts like Mio and Senpai. If the silence continues, I get stressed questioning what she was pondering, so it’s higher if she’s speaking. Mio’s need to get entangled in every thing may cause hassle, however I really feel safer when she is that noisy.

Nevertheless, it was totally different for Miyagi.

It doesn’t trouble me to be subsequent to her, even when she is silent or grumpy.

I benefit from the silence, though I ponder what she is pondering.

I maintain Miyagi’s hand, who doesn’t converse.

「Miyagi, do you need to see the primary dawn?」

「Are we going someplace?」

「We’re not.」

「Is it the primary dawn of the 12 months to see from residence?」

「I don’t know. I don’t know precisely, however I don’t thoughts seeing it from residence.」

「Isn’t that random?」

「It’s simply superb if it’s random. Let’s discover out the time and stuff, and we’ll see it collectively.」

「We don’t have to look. I’m going to take a shower and go to mattress.」

Miyagi assures me, releases my clasped palms, and tries to face up.

She wasn’t enthusiastic from the beginning about seeing the primary dawn, however I didn’t need to let her depart.

「Nicely, I’m going to take a shower later, too, and after I get out, can I name you to my room? Let’s discuss some extra.」

「I’m sleepy, and I’m going to mattress.」

「I’ll wake you up when you’re asleep.」

「…Swimsuit your self.」

Miyagi stated in a gruff voice that didn’t sound prefer it was the New 12 months.
