Discomfort That You Don't Want to Notice

 

Author Notes: The development is a little abrupt.

 

 The "Dream Book" I have in my hand has a feature or characteristic that ultimately will not manifest the power of dreams unless I try to use it.

 The activation of the premonition dream, for example, may be due to the fact that I unconsciously sensed a crisis and thought, "Let's use it".

 That's why .........................

 

 

*

 

 

 

 

 ...... I wake up to the morning sun shining through the window and realize that there is someone in the bed I was sleeping on.

 I turned my head to the side as I was lying down and there was an opposite s*x being who was wearing a rough t-shirt and breathing a cute sleepy air ...... she is my childhood friend, Amane, there.

 Even with my sleepy head, I can feel the warmth and softness of her body, which no pillow can compete with, and her sleeping face, which I can gaze at so closely ...... It makes everything not matter.

 ......But maybe it was because she had been in my arms the whole time that my arm is starting to feel a little numb.

 It hurts as if it were real .................. real?

 

 Did something like this...... happen before??

 

 Upon waking up, my childhood friend who is suddenly sleeping next to me ...... I look directly at such a scene and pat her head ............  unable to suppress my face from smiling.

 

"Sneak in again~...... it can't be helped."

 

 I took it as "everyday occurrence" and gently poke her cheeks, which revealed her innocent sleeping face, and a very comfortable feeling came back to me softly.

 

"...... Fuah?"

 

 But after repeating it for fun, Amane seemed to have woken up and opened her eyes thinly ...... to see me playing a prank on her.

 

"Good morning......."

"............"

 

 However, when our eyes met, which should have been firmly locked, she went straight under the covers and hid her face.

 

"Ah, kora, it's already morning."

"Ya~n...... still sleepy~"

 

 I have learned since we started "living together" that Amane is quite weak in the morning.

 When she was at her parents' house, she used to have epic battles with her mom every morning......

 

"Isn't there an important lecture today? Something about "a theory that makes it possible to combine mechanisms while reinforcing the body's armor"......"

"Mu............"

 

 When I said so, Amane reluctantly got up as well.

 Her sleepy eyes and messy hair...... She is one of the most talented mechanics in the university, and I think that the students who look at her as a cool beauty don't know what she really looks like...... It gives me a sense of superiority.

 When I thought she was staring at me, she kissed me lightly on the lips.

 Then she smiled.

 

"Good morning...... Yume-chan."

"O-Oh......"

 

 It's "the usual thing"...... that we've been dodging on a daily basis since we got here.

 And yet, on this day, at this moment ...... I don't know what it was, but my face was absurdly hot.

 It's as if I'm "suddenly experiencing something for the first time or so, and I'm confused," or should I say strangely elated or excited?

 This is weird? Even though we've done it many times, it's the usual...... Why is my face so hot??

 

 We moved to the "Moon" from our hometown "Japan" to go to college, and I was supposed to live alone for the first time, but I ended up sharing a room with Amane.

 Neither Amane nor I were informed of this ...... until the day we moved in, and when we saw each other in the room, ...... all we could do was laugh.

 It's a cost-cutting measure because it's a fee-folding version, is what they said. ...... Yes, to be clear, both the Amachi and Kanzaki families approve of this, or rather, it's a transparent scheme to see what they expect from us.

 Our relationship was already discovered in high school by our neighbors, school, and everyone else in the neighborhood, but...... That's too blatant, isn't it!?

 

 I will not give in to such expectations! My determination to do so was...... collapsed and fell within a week...... by a magnificent combination of bathrobe and loungewear......

 

 These days, we each have our own room, but Amane rarely sleeps in her own room.

 Sometimes we will separate when we get into a fight, ......but even that won't last a day and we'll be back to our initial arrangement ......

 

 ......? It's strange...... I'm just looking back at the past, and it's like I'm getting more and more embarrassed by it all......?

 

"What's wrong? You're blushing with a difficult look on your face."

 

 As I was groaning with an emotion I didn't quite understand, Amane, who had already gotten out of bed, ...... was coming to me with coffee in both hands, her wonderful legs fully exposed as usual under her large T-shirt.

 

"...... No, as I thought my girlfriend's beautiful legs are the best~"

"Kora... from the morning too~~"

 

 I feel an inexpressible sense of happiness at such gestures of Amane, who makes such faces as angry, stunned, and embarrassed........

 How to say it, the sense of urgency that if I go on like this, I'm going to be in trouble, ........ Then I guess that's okay~ the expectation comes rushing in.

 I was receiving coffee from Amane ...... she was completely unaware that I was becoming stuck in "something".

 

 And after having breakfast together “as usual”, we left the room together “as usual” and headed for the lunar city where the miscellaneous scenery spreads out.

 People once upon a time described such a city as "the city of the future," but for those of us who have lived here for two years since going to college, it has become nothing more than an everyday scene.

 The cars that pass through the sky, the domes that cover the living quarters and control light, temperature, air pressure, and all the other important controls that keep track of time from morning to night......

 ......But for some reason, Amane looked around restlessly and curiously.

 

"What's wrong? Is there something that bothers you?"

"......? No......Hmm~......"

 

 When I asked her about it, Amane herself seemed to have no idea and crossed her arms in thought.

 But I kind of know the feeling too.

 I could somehow guess that Amane was feeling the same discomfort that I had been feeling ever since I woke up.

 

"......It's not the first time, but it feels like the first time......or something like that?"

"! Yeah yeah, just like that! Eh? Maybe Yume-chan too?"

"Aa......Something feels weird......What is it?"

"Unn... Since this morning too, I think "I've done it"!? ...... For some reason"

 

 Hmm...... I don't know even if I thought about it.

 I feel like it kind of puts a stop to my thinking ...... Well, that's okay, nothing bad has happened.......

 Rather, I feel like it would be a waste to notice something now...

 

 As the two of us were walking with difficult faces, Suzu-nee, the manager of [Blade Volcano] our favorite coffee shop, was cleaning the front of the store in jeans and a blouse, dressed in rough clothes.

 

"Yo, both of you. You two were together again today......It's nice to be young."

"Why do you talk like you're old......"

"Good morning~ Suzu-nee~ Is your business prosperous?"

 

 

 Even Suzu-nee, who teases me like that, is still a young and beautiful woman, but I've never heard of her having such a romantic relationship with anyone.

 She said she's never encountered anyone, but the main reason was...... At Amane's words, Suzu-nee shows a wry smile with her hands on her hips.

 

"So-so, I guess~ Unfortunately, I am much busier "over there" than at my main job ......"

 

 Job over there...... She has survived many battles because of her upbringing, and is a well-known expert in that field.

 Although her main business is a coffee shop, she is often hired as an escort for important people because of her prowess.

 Actually, she would have preferred to run a coffee shop on her own, but she is one of the best in the moon city, and people around her won't leave her alone.

 

"Apparently, the space situation is not as good as expected, and they are short of manpower just to provide security on the moon these days or something ......"

"That's tough~ working adult...... It hurts!?"

 

 As I mumbled, Suzu-nee suddenly gave me a flick to the forehead.

 

"What are you talking about like it's somebody else's problem? I heard that your university is responsible for some of the difficulties. Today, too, I'm being sent to escort a great professor who's coming all the way from Earth."

"Eh...... Could it be that the person Suzu-nee is escorting is...... Dr. Alice!?"

 

 When Amane's eyes shined, Suzu-nee naturally nodded.

 

“I was asked to guard the perimeter during a lecture by Dr. Alice, a leading designer of passenger robots...... Why did you know about Dr. Alice?”

"Know or not, we're going to listen to that lecture today. We were looking forward to it too!"

 

 While robot technology is developing worldwide, he is a person who is attracting attention as the third force, cutting into the two major theories of the most emerging riding type with his own theory.

 We weren't the only ones looking forward to her lecture.

 Anyone who aspires to be a passenger robot engineer should definitely want to hear this.

 On the other hand, Suzu-nee doesn't seem to be very familiar with it, and it seems she can't keep up with Amane's tension.

 

"Is she that famous, that girl ......"

 

 While saying so, Suzu-nee frowns as she looks at a photo that seems to have been distributed for the protection of important people.

 

"She looks like a normal cute girl with glasses and bob-cut hair ...... Dr. Alice Kamui......huh?"
