'Good morning, Willoo! It's morning! Wake up! Wake up or I'll attack you!

'Mmm......'

The next morning.
The morning sun was pouring in through the large glass window.
I was shaken awake from my futon.

I'm a reasonably good morning person.
Soon I was in a state of full wakefulness, and I immediately rushed into her arms.

'Satsuki, why are you here?

As I lay face down on the bed, I could see the figure of a girl in a kimono covering me and shaking me.
She smiled and indicated the other girl who was there.

'I got Mee to pick the lock for me.

I looked up and saw a small beastman girl sitting on a chair by the table.

'Just this once. Now that you're feeling better, you want to see William right now. I'll play the supporting role for now. Thank you, Satsuki.'

Mee said, striking an indifferent pose so as not to make her presence felt.

I looked at her and Satsuki and smiled.

'No, it's a crime to break into a locked room. ......'

'Well, well, don't worry about the details. William, you said you wanted to see me smile. Here, smile.'

Satsuki smiled at me and gave me a loose smile.
It was too obvious, but it still made me smile a little.

'Are you okay now, Satsuki?

'Yeah. I'm sorry about yesterday, Will. If you remove the bright side from me, there won't be anything left.

Satsuki chuckles at that.
Apparently his mental state has recovered to the point where he can act cheerful.
The problem seems to be still there, but I may have said it wrong yesterday.

'No, that's not true. Satsuki is Satsuki no matter how she behaves, and she shouldn't be denied. What happened yesterday was selfishness on my part.'

But Satsuki shook her head at my words.

'No, no. I want Will to like me. This is my wish.

Then she smiled again.
Well, it seems she's given it a lot of thought.

'I see. Where's ...... Cyril?

'He's still sleeping in his room. Let's pay him back for yesterday, Will.

Satsuki laughed and wrinkled her hands like a many-legged insect.
I suppose he means the 'rough treatment' he gave me in return for yesterday.
I got a little headache.

'...... Like Cyril, if you can, please don't involve me in such things. My reason isn't infinite either.'

'Ew! I'm not in the mood, Will. Let's tickle Cyril when he's sleeping with us!

'............'

...... Oh, yeah, that's right.
I don't know what the hell I was thinking.

But on the other hand, Mee, who was watching the scene, shook her head and gave me a sympathetic look.

'...... William, it's okay. That was Satsuki's fault.'

'What ......? What do you mean it was my fault?

'Either Satsuki is a b*tc* or she's a child.

'What? What's that?

Mi also smiled when she saw Satsuki shouting in frustration.
