A Super Beauty’s morning starts late.
This body of mine is unbelievably weak in the mornings. Having said that, it isn’t particularly strong at night either. If I turn the TV on and sit down, there’s a more than 70% probability of me falling asleep. I’d then wake up at around 3 o’clock, turn off everything, and then fall asleep without remembering to set an alarm.

Super Beauties have a limited operation time, apparently.
While I may appear flawless at first glance, I have probably around 108¹ of such assorted flaws.

It’s not that I’m just lazy, slothful, or a social misfit.
There are restrictions, shackles, that were cast upon me for gaining such outstanding power.
I suspect that in exchange for me becoming a Super Beauty, I was bestowed debuffs by the gods themselves.

If we assume that me being once a boring old boy, or perhaps me being convinced that I was, was one of these debuffs, then it all makes sense.

After all, in exchange, I have gained a Super Beauty Brain capable of formulating this super hypothesis.
Everything abides by the equivalent exchange².
It’s the law of conservation of mass. Learned it in middle school.

However,
Despite this,
I have awoken early.

I’m 20 minutes earlier than the time when we’ll be close to being late.
10 minutes earlier than when Miyu arrives, about to blow her fuse.

So why has such a miracle happened?
This is, of course, an extension of my Make-Miyutan-Smitten plan.

She has repeatedly seen me pathetically indulge in my sloth late into the morning.
Because of that, I’m trying my best to show her a cool side of me. I’ve awakened, literally. The power of love is amazing.

I’ll finish my morning preparations before she comes to wake me up, and then when Miyu arrives, I’ll go, 「Morning, want some coffee?」 like a capable handsome guy, which will surely make Miyu swoon for me in a single blow. It might even be overkill.

With my eyes half-open, I got out of my bed and tottered my way to the living room.
I can wake up early, sure, but I didn’t say that I wouldn’t be sleepy. My vision is clouded like when you get a status debuff in an FPS.

While feeling a bit nauseous, I chucked sweet buns into my gullet.
Stifling a yawn, I pass my arms through my uniform.

After dressing up, I reclined on the living room sofa with my eyes half-open.
I’m seriously sleepy. I’ll lose consciousness if I don’t focus.

… *Ah*, come to think of it, I need to prepare the coffee.
Or so I thought, but because of my divine debuffs (the debuffs I must have gotten from the gods in order to become a Super Beauty) I cannot drink feeco (super obsolete) at all.

Coffee is super duper bitter. The smell is very so bad, too.
If it was Fanta Orange, though, I could drink it forever.

Gotta change the coffee plan. I was too reliant on my imagination. I’ve never seen Miyu drinking coffee in the first place.

I returned to my room and, while leaving the door half open, I hid behind it.
This is where I’ll pounce on the target.

Miyu will probably come to wake me up to play with me as usual.
The moment she enters the room, I’ll immediately hug her, whispering,「Morning,」 with my Super Handsome voice.

With her face burning red, her legs would give out and she’d fall. Yelling,「Look out,」 I’d prop up Miyu’s *body* (the italicization makes it look sexy) with my own.
We’d fall into embrace, with our eyes locked with one another’s.

And then naturally, our lips would overlap… darkness.
*Oh my*, we’re going to get late.

「… -saki… Misaki?」

I hear a faraway voice calling my name.
A familiar, comforting voice.

「*Mn, nhh*…?」

I responded like some old man in the countryside.
My blurred vision was gradually clearing up.

「… Are you awake? Misaki, you were sleeping on your feet, you know?」

Miyu in her uniform peers into my face with a concerned look. She stretched a hand towards my cheek, lightly slapping me awake.

Then, my mind finally started turning its gears.
Behind the shadow of the opened door, I was leaning on the corner of the room.

*’I immediately messed up,’* I thought to myself.
To think that I’d fall asleep. No, I didn’t fall, so it’s stood asleep.
Hiding my dejection, I continued with my initial plan and greeted Miyu with a handsome voice.

「Good morning.」
「Don’t *’Good morning’* me. Geez, you scared me, you know?」

There was a girl in a school uniform inexplicably standing asleep in a corner of the room.
From Miyu’s perspective, it must’ve been terrifying.

「What are you even doing? I see you’re all dressed up… But your ribbon’s crooked and you’re buttoned up wrong. So sloppy.」

Miyu reached for my collar to fix my attire.
For some reason, we’re on our usual routine. Without delay, I flaunted my success.

「I woke up on time today, aren’t I impressive? Did you fall for me all over again?」
「What do you mean *all over again*?」
「Did you fall for me?」
「*Hmm*…」

Miyu looked at me with a conflicted expression. That’s not exactly what I expected.
I thought she was going to praise me for it.
I thought she was going to pat me on the head for it.

「You don’t really need to do that, frankly.」
「*Eh?*」
「I’ll be sure to wake you up.」

Why?　
Didn’t you tell me to do something about my disorderliness or something?

「Come on, let’s go before we get late.」

She urges me in her usual tone.
Like, it’s so normal. Nothing’s out of the ordinary.

She’s acting as if yesterday just… didn’t happen at all. Like everything was just a dream.
　
I confessed to Miyu.
Miyu’s response was… unclear, but it’s on hold.

Still, she kissed me. Our relationship should be different from the one we had up until now.
That’s why I was expecting things to be different today as well, but…

「Misaki, what’s wrong? You’re zoning out.」
「No, well…」
「Enamored with your beloved Miyu-chan, are you?」

Suddenly, Miyu showed a provocative smile.
My cheeks instantly burned up.

So it really wasn’t a dream.
This is yesterday’s continuation.
This is yesterday’s Miyu.

A slightly condescending gaze with a teasing expression.
The only difference is that composure in her smile. Her eyes are sparkling; she’s having a lot of fun.

「Locking eyes with the person you like; does it get your heart pounding?」

Now that she said that, my heart’s suddenly racing.
I can’t get my eyes off of Miyu’s face.

「Misaki, you like me, don’t you?」
「Yeah, I do…」
「Misaki likes~ Miyu. There, repeat after me.」
「I… like Miyu…」
「Misaki loves~ Miyu. There.」
「Misaki loves~ Miyu…」

As though being put under hypnosis, I repeated after her words.
But it’s not unpleasant at all. It’s like my feelings are being acknowledged; I’m so happy.

「*Nnfu*, well done. Now, for your reward.」

With a satisfied smile, Miyu then closes her eyes.
She slightly raises her chin and purses her lips before stopping in place.

*Eh*, is this… What?
Do I… Kiss? Me?
May I? Can I?

The events last night flash into my mind.
My crush, who I always thought was completely beyond my reach.
The person I love, my beloved’s lips; the sensation.

She was the one kissing me the whole time, but I want to initiate next time, or so I thought… But now with the opportunity in front of me…

Yesterday, I was driven mostly by desperation because of my NTR suspicions, so I was really not in a good place mentally.

That’s why, now that I’m calm in the morning after,
Just having her face close like this makes me feel timid; it’s embarrassing.
My heart’s beating like crazy. My palm’s sweating so much.

As I continued hesitating, Miyu slowly opened her eyes.
