For the next few days, we maintained the same sleeping arrangements and Kurosawa-san never argued over it again. However, every morning when I woke up, I discovered that I had been magically transported to the bedroom. Surely, Yumi-chan wasn't the one doing this so that only left Kurosawa-san.

I was very grateful for his attentiveness, but I never said anything aloud. I just silently acknowledged everything that was happening. Kurosawa-san too, never told me anything upfront. He simply took my silence as approval and continued to do things his way.

Every morning, I would find a simple breakfast, usually omelet with rice, scrambled eggs or sandwiches, waiting for me on the table. There would always be a little note sticking next to it, saying 'Enjoy the food'. At noon, Kurosawa-san would drop by to have lunch with me and prepare something for when Yumi-chan would come back from school. And for dinner, we would either order takeout or prepare some quick dishes. Afterwards, we each would go about our own business until it was time for bed.

I tried to keep my previous writing schedule, but I guess all the activity during the day tired me out more than I had expected. Suddenly having two people around took a toll on me and I always ended up falling asleep soon after midnight. In those few days I didn't get to see the dawn, which was a novelty for me.

In this manner the days passed by steadily, until it was the last day Yumi-chan would spend at my place. It was a Saturday. Kurosawa-san didn't have to go to work and, luckily, Yumi-chan didn't have classes either.

That morning he received a call from Amami-chan letting him know that her husband will arrive around 5 p.m. to pick up Yumi-chan.

"Alright. We'll be waiting for him. I will send him the address." I heard Kurosawa-san saying. Probably Amami-chan asked something about the location because a moment later he continued with "We're at Masato-sensei's apartment. En, yes, it ended up that way." Kurosawa-san stopped for a moment, then I saw him wrinkling his brows and pushing the phone a bit further away from his ear. "Sis, would you stop squealing and yelling. Won't the people over there think you've gone batshit crazy by now? Alright. I have to go now. Talk to you later."

I was puzzled by the conversation. Could it be that Kurosawa-san hadn't told Amami-chan that he was staying with Yumi-chan at my place? Would she be upset if she knew? Well, either way, the days have already been spent like that so there was no need to cry over spilled milk. My intentions were good and honorable. If I find out she is upset, I will deal with it then.

Looking at the time I saw it was still quite early. Since it was barely 10 a.m. when Amami-chan called, that left us with several hours to kill until the afternoon.

"Should we go somewhere?" Kurosawa-san asked after hanging up.

Hearing his question, I glanced outside. The weather was truly marvelous. The rainy season had just begun, but outside the sky was clear and the sun was shining with a dazzling light. The air was warm and not humid enough to cause discomfort. In short, it was the perfect weather to go for a walk in the park or hiking.
