When I, a Mob, Saved the Heroine, I Got a Roundhouse Kick and Passed Out, and My Romantic Comedy Beg

Chapter 40 – Morning Hug

Haruko froze as she looked inside the room.

In bed, they were hugging each other.

“Hah!?”

Haruko is already in the third year of junior high school.

She can at least understand what it means for a man and a woman to be in bed hugging each other.

“Hey! What are you two doing!?”

But they didn’t move when Haruko shouted.

“Hmm? Are you two asleep?”

When she approached the bed and checked it again, Ichiro was still under the futon and Himeka was sleeping on top of him.

“Ugh~… The flames of Megiddo…from the sky… so heavy… Zzz…”

“Shuu~ shuu~”

“This…seems like Himeka-san hugged Onii-chan who was sleeping and then went straight to sleep?”

Haruko slowly took out her smartphone and started taking pictures of the two sleeping.

She took a lot of pictures.

Close-up picture of the two sleeping faces.

Close-up picture of Ichiro’s sleeping face in pain.

Close-up picture of Himeka’s sleeping face, drooling and happy.

“Okay, I’ve got a lot of good shots. Kekeke…”

At that moment, an alarm beeped from Ichiro’s phone.

“Uhhhh…”

“Nnn…”

The two finally woke up.

“Eh… HAH!?”

Ichiro woke up and realized what was happening.

“Muya, muya… Ehehe, it’s Moriyama-kun!”

Himeka is still half-asleep and confused between her dream and reality.

Haruko silently stopped the alarm on Ichiro’s phone.

“Why is Urushibara-san here? C-Could it be that the goddess has arrived!? From a saint to a goddess at last!”

“Onii-chan, breakfast is ready. Please come down quickly.”

Haruko said this to Ichiro who was still confused, and left the room, closing the door behind her.

“U-Urushibara-san! Wake up!”

“Nnn… Hmm…? Hiyaaaa!!!”

◇◆◇

At the dining table on the first floor, investigator Ichiro, who has finished his breakfast, is questioning the suspect, Himeka.

“In short… You were thinking last night and went to bed late and woke up early this morning, and you showed up more than an hour before the appointment with a lack of sleep?”

“Yes…”

Himeka cowered and managed to reply.

“Hah…”

Ichiro let out a grand sigh.

The Moriyama family watched the situation with a grin.

“So why were you sleeping on top of me?”

“Well… That’s…a secret?”

“A secret? That’s not it! Urushibara-san! You’re too defenseless! What if I had been a flirtatious, naughty manwhore! You might have gotten into trouble before you got married!”

“M-Moriyama-kun is not a naughty manwhore!”

“Come on now… Calm down, both of you. I don’t think you should be yelling “manwhore” in front of mom and dad.”

“Oh my, mom won’t mind, you know? They’re at that age, aren’t they? Ufufu…”

“Hah…”

“You’re having a study session for the exam today, right? That’s enough lecturing, you’d better start studying.”

After being scolded by Haruko, Ichiro cooled down a little and returned to his room with Himeka to start studying.

“Moriyama-kun… Are you still angry?”

“No, I’m not angry anymore.”

“Ugh, you’re still angry…”

“Hah… I’m not angry. I’m just still upset because I’ve never woken up and found a woman hugging me.”

“I’m sorry…”

At that moment, without knocking, the door opened with a bang and Haruko was standing there.

“I’ve got something to show you!”

Haruko said this and held up her phone screen in her right hand for them to see.

The screen on the phone showed Himeka’s happy, drooling sleeping face.

“Look at this! Even after seeing this, does Onii-chan still have something to complain about!?”

“Hiiiiiiii!!!”

Himeka screamed.

“Boo-hoo!”

Ichiro blurted out.

“Have you ever seen Himeka-san’s such a happy sleeping face, Onii-chan!? You were able to see such a rare sleeping face of Himeka-san, and you still have something to complain about!?”

“No, I’ve never seen Urushibara-san’s sleeping face in the first place…”

“Stop it alreadyyy~! Delete the photos immediately, Haruko-chan!”

“As soon as you two make up, I’ll delete it.”

“Huu…”

“We’ve already made up.”

“Then show me proof that you’ve made up! Ah, a hug would be nice. Let me see you two hug each other.”

Gosh! The two hugged without showing any hesitation.

“Hah♡ Moriyama-kun’s smell♡”

Haruko, satisfied with their loving hug, erased Himeka’s photo and left the room, leaving the two to study in silence with indescribable expressions on their faces.
