Sasha looks down in thought but doesnt seem to remember at all.

Youd already gone when I got up though.

Misha shakes her head.

That was the second time.

Lie.Really.?

I see. Sasha fell asleep again after Misha told her.

Fumu. Sashas weak in the mornings it seems.

Im not really.

Misha nods at me.

Very weak.

Im not. It just takes me a while to get out of bed, my head is all fluffy and my memories a bit vague. Thats all.

How is that not weak? Have you listened to yourself?

Whats with those triumphant eyes? (S)

Its fine. Its nothing to be ashamed about. Being weak in the mornings isnt a problem. Your life isnt over because of it.

Can you stop talking like youre saying something really important? (S)

I told her she didnt have to be ashamed but it looks like she didnt understand what I was saying.

Whatever. Its fine. Let hurry up and get going. (S)

As soon as Sasha started walking Misha hurried after her.

Angry?

About what?

..I went alone.

I dont mind that. It cant be helped that you expressly left early this morning and made a big detour to Arnoss house.

Misha looks down thinking.

I wont go anymore

Why? I said I dont mind. If Misha wants to go then just go.

Misha falls silent and I start laughing.

What are you laughing at?

Nothing at all except youve done nothing but lie since we met up Sasha. If you wanted to come to my house you should just say so.

I. I didnt say I wanted to come or anything

Her words feebly drop off at the end.

Theres no point in being stubborn. You are weak in the mornings and couldnt come anyway but dont worry about it. In front of me, your morning weakness means nothing.

..Errrm. You seem to be exaggerating a bit there but what do you intend to do?

Ill come to you and wake you up myself.

..Eh.

Sashas face turns beet red.

Im not as nice as Misha. Dont think Ill let you fall asleep twice in front of me.

I look into Sashas eyes while talking.

Ah

Whats your answer?

Sasha couldnt meet my eyes and looks down.

..Yes.

Sashas answer is very faint. Is it really so embarrassing not being able to get up in the morning?

We can all go together next time. I say to Misha who nods happily.

..Bu.butits weird that Arnos will come to wake me up just so I can go to Arnos house.

Sasha starts mumbling to herself.

Yo. Good morning.

I turned around and Ray was standing there.

Yo.

Misha and Sahsa say good morning to Ray together.

Have you always gone to school together?

No. Its just a coincidence this morning.

Ray walks over to my side.

Oh, by the way. Do you have any idea where I can find a good demon sword?

Fumu. A stand-in for Initeio?

Because it was spectacularly broken it can be fixed but it will take quite a while so I need a replacement for the time being.

Fair enough. Not like he can have Sheila become his sword every time he needs one. I wonder if Ive got a suitable sword for Ray in my treasury?

Good morning everyone!

In the distance, Misa waved at us and runs over to us where we greet her.

This is unusual all of you attending school together.

Yeah. Apparently its a coincidence. Ray says.

Thats right. *Fufufu* but its nice being able to attend school this way since I was always alone in the mornings. (Misa)

Thats surprising. I didnt think you were someone that got lonely easily.

Ahahaha..Thats a secret.

As two people make a little exchange we continue on our way to Deruzogedo enjoying the tranquil morning calm.
