About

“A night in Osaka, just one room.” “Senpai, look, look. There’s only one room, you know?” On the night of a business trip to Osaka. Lilian, having received the key at the hotel front desk, smiled mischievously. When they entered the room, there was only one bed. Not even a sofa. “...It really is just one.” “Yeah. Looks like a booking error. What are we gonna do, Senpai?” As she spoke, Lilian sat on the edge of the bed with a face that didn't look troubled at all. “You're definitely enjoying this on purpose, aren't you?” “You caught me? Hehe.” Lilian stood up and slid closer. The distance was small. The sweet scent of perfume wafted over, and Senpai reflexively held his breath. “Senpai, your face is getting all red, you know?” “It’s just hot.” “I wonder if that's true.” She whispered in his ear, sending a shiver down his spine. “Bonne nuit... Senpai ♡” “We aren't sleeping yet.” “Then, shall I make your heart race even more?” Lilian laughed, but then suddenly looked away. Her cheeks, too, were slightly flushed. “...But, I won't do anything weird. I'd never do anything you hate, Senpai.” At those words, Senpai finally relaxed his shoulders. A quiet room for just the two of them. Outside the window, the Osaka nightscape glittered. “...Well, shall we sleep?” “Yeah. Goodnight, Senpai.” They lay down on opposite ends of the bed. Even so, it was quiet enough that they could almost hear each other's heartbeats. Lilian gave a small laugh. “Hey, Senpai... stay right here next to me until tomorrow morning, okay?” That voice alone lacked her usual teasing tone. Senpai smiled quietly. It was night.
