It was a fine day during the rainy season....The aroma of spring died out from the city along with the Sakura petals, just the season where sprouts would grow out from the earth.
The sunlight that had been shot through the window was filled with warmth, surely a good day for a nap.
Within the orphanage reception room that was under such warmish sunshine, he – Saigou Homura, having shadows under his eyes, clenched his fists tightly."I.. I... I did it! I finally did it, Suzuka...!!!"
"Thanks for the hard work, Homura. Looks like we will be able to spend a comfortable Golden Week."
Tapping and putting the documents on the desk cheerfully was a girl – Ayazato Suzuka, who also returned an emotional nod. While both being fifteen years old, who could be called youngsters, Homura's facial expression was that of someone who worked all night.
Saigou Homura then removed his self-made nekomimi headphones from his neck and released two buttons of his slightly oversized clothes. The reason why it is oversized could be due to putting in consideration to how much he would grow before purchasing it. Unfortunately, he didn't grow as much as he thought he would in the end.
On the other hand, Ayazato Suzuka was dressed up slightly more fashionably than usual.
Her hair was adorned with a flower patterned hair clip that had been roughly tied on, and she was wearing a short pair of pants that emphasized the ease of movement. Although the casual jacket that she wore lacked the brilliance, it still reflected her own vitality and strong will and thus displaying her charm. For women who are struggling with their selection of clothes to wear, they must be envious of her.
Satisfied with his work, a smile showed up on Saigou Homura's face.
"It's not that I am trying to brag, but this thesis is truly done with my utmost effort. With just these research results presented, the Everything Company shouldn't have any complaints about it."
"Nihaha, you're right. The clinical trial has already passed its verification, right?"
"Ah, yeah. The second trial has also passed at an exceptional speed. Although it seems that the 3rd Research Center used some kind of underhanded methods for it to pass."
After doing some small exercises, the two lied sloppily onto the sofa.
It couldn't be helped.
The curtains were shaken by the soft breeze, the lighting wasn't bad too. For people who have worked through the night, this weather was good to the point of being brutal. Additionally, with the protection of the house, no pain and no disaster. Forbidding someone to take a nap in such weather will be what one could call 'cruel'.
However, even though it was already noon, there was a surprising silence within the orphanage.
Considering it's daytime in a holiday, it should be a suitable time for it to be crowded with young girls and boys running around the small space they have. In the living room of this time, there should also be children who will be snatching to watch the 55″ TV that was bought in a spurt. Despite so, just for today, the silence was enough to make the orphanage feel as if it was uninhabited.
In other words, saying that it was deserted wasn't an exaggeration.
It is possible that something had happened, an alarm sounded within his vague mind. However, as he was too sleepy, he decided to set his nap as his priority instead.
As Saigou Homura scratched his messy hair, he gazed towards Suzuka and projected a sudden and surprised voice.
"Speaking of which, today's Suzuka..... is dressed up quite unusually. Are you going out?"
"That's right. I am planning to go to Shinjuku together with Aya-chan. Does Homura want to join in as well?"
