9 – Why does the world start in the morning and end in the evening?

I left the house as usual.

“Hello?”

Ina was standing in front of the house with a smile on her face.

For a moment, I wondered if I was seeing something false, but I don’t think there is such a realistic illusion.

First, I decided to bring out the biggest question.

“Why are you here?”

“I came across it by chance after walking along the address you gave me yesterday.”

“Where do you mean coincidence?”

“Then is it destiny?”

“No, that’s it.”

After announcing her resignation, Ina put her palm to her mouth and smiled broadly.

I wondered why you asked for the address. Was this your intention?

Well, there is no problem. She doesn’t make the road to school any longer just because she has one more person. It wouldn’t be such a bad thing to have a gossip on the way to school.

Even if you don’t like it in the first place, there’s no way to shake it off. Even if you keep your distance, they will follow you.

Yes. Okay. This is nothing special. …… ‘ She repeated in her mind over and over again.

“Let’s go quickly~ Are we going to be late like this?”

“It’s okay because there is still plenty of time left.”

She returned her leisurely reply to the urging Inna and slowly approached her.

Ina was always in her school uniform. Seeing her outside the school, however, she felt different. Even her hair and her big eyes were different from what we saw at her school.

Looking at Ina’s appearance overlapping with her unfamiliar scenery, she realized how outstanding Seurena’s appearance was.

“Why is that?”

“Nothing.”

Saying that, she stood next to Ina, and Ina narrowed the distance of her half step toward me. It’s too close, so stay away.

“Why does the world start in the morning and end in the evening?”

How many steps was it? She started walking, and it wasn’t long before her question flew in.

“Did the world continue to perish without my knowledge?”

“Did you get second grade?”

The world seems fine. Good thing.

“So what do you mean? The world starts in the morning and ends in the evening?”

At my words, Ina spread her index finger.

“Most people in the world are like that, right? Everyone wakes up early in the morning and goes to school or work. Then, in the evening, everyone goes home.”

That’s what I meant. In short, the question is, why do people in the world start working in the morning and finish their work in the evening?

Just looking around now, that’s the case. On the road, students and office workers are mingled here and there. Now is the time when the world begins.

Of course there are exceptions.

“Isn’t that necessarily the case? There are also people who listen to lectures at the academy until night. There are office workers who work overtime pouring coffee.”

“Right. They are really great people~”

It was a pure fight without a hint of sarcasm.

“I don’t think I can do that because I sleep a lot.”

“I guess.”

Involuntarily, I nodded.

Ina is the sleepy type. In the mornings, I was especially agitated. Sometimes they act like they’re drunk while in a drowsy state.

Maybe it was a kind of drool that came to my house. Then I’d be a little scared.

“Because you sleep a lot.”

“Yes. I have to study late today! Even if I made up my mind, my eyes would automatically close around 10 o’clock.”

“They are children of good living.”

When I said this while looking at her child-like body, Ina suddenly puffed out her cheeks.

“Why is that?”

“Stupid. At that time, you should be called a beauty, not a child, right?”

“A beauty?”

“Yes. They say that beautiful women usually sleep a lot, right?”

“Then let’s pretend it’s a pretty child, well.”

“Whoops. I get a little embarrassed when I hear that I’m pretty~”

After being bowed down, they sway from side to side and rejoice. Does it matter if you hear the word child? While thinking about that, Ina lowered her head and yawned.

“Are you sleepy?”

“Ah, yes. I woke up earlier than usual today.”

She answers by rubbing her eyes with her fingers. His eyes were a little more closed than usual. At this rate, she might even perform a feat of walking while sleeping.

“Did you have something to do this morning?”

Ina stared blankly at me.

“I mean, I waited there for over 30 minutes.”

He said with a somewhat sullen face.

“…… In front of my house?”

“Yes. Besides, I had to walk there from my house, so I woke up almost an hour early.”

“Why?”

“I had to get out as soon as possible because you might be leaving early.”

“Well, I get that… ….”

That’s not what I want to ask.

“Why did you wait so long for me?”

“Do I really have to say that?”

He looked sideways. She was looking at me while tilting her head, wearing an Ina playful smile. Even though she is tired, she can’t seem to stop teasing me.

Well, I have to ask more here anyway.

‘I want to go to school with you?’

Answers such as this will come back. Having been hit by this pattern countless times, I can now predict what Ina will say behind the scenes with just the simulation in my brain. It’s not that I don’t panic, I know.

“No, that’s it.”

“Anyway.”

A somewhat dissatisfied face.

“I woke up early today and waited for you for a long time. What do you think about it?”

“Uh, well, sorry, sorry…… ?”

“Okay. I will accept your apology.”

Ina readily accepted the sudden apology. But there is no reason for me to apologize, is there?

“In exchange for an apology, there are conditions.”

“Conditions?”

“Yes.”

It was even conditional. This is a pure scammer. While I was laughing, Ina weakly grabbed my sleeve. I didn’t know what I was doing, so I was just watching, so Ina looked up at me and said.

“Do you want to walk a little longer?”

We left the school right in front of us and stumbled into an alleyway. I still have about 20 minutes left, so even if I walk a little longer, I won’t be late.

Just a little bit, a little bit, but what the heck…….

I thought it might be like that until Ina waits for me and goes to school with me. I was on my way to school anyway, so I didn’t have to worry too much about who I was with.

But now, at Ina’s request, I’m just walking down the street for no particular reason. Thinking like that made me feel a bit awkward. I don’t open my mouth when I enter the alley.

Until they finally pass through the alley and approach the school again. There was not much conversation between us.

“What is that? You asked about something earlier.”

I decided to say anything to break the stuffy silence.

“The question why the world begins in the morning and ends in the evening?”

He nodded and continued talking.

“That’s it. Is it bright during the day and dark at night? Back in the day, there were no lights, so it must have been better during the day to be active. Maybe that’s why it’s hardened to work from morning to evening?”

“Umm~”

Eana, who made a sound as if she was recollecting my words, immediately shook her head.

“Then will I have to live in such a harsh world for the rest of my life?”

I wonder if sleep is so important to Ina that such a grandiose reaction is coming out.

“Is sleep really that important?”

“Of course. Did you know that the average person sleeps for 8 hours? But I can sleep more than 12 hours. No, even if I told you to sleep for the rest of your life, you could still sleep?”

“It doesn’t say it’s alive.”

At my words, Ina chuckled and laughed.

I heard the chirping of birds, and the bright sunlight shone at the end of my gaze. As I raised my head, I began to see the school closer. The alleyway I entered to walk a little further is also here. Inawa’s way to school was slowly coming to an end.

“Well, anyway.”

Ina took a few steps ahead of me and started walking. Even though she is a stone bridge, she stretches her legs exaggeratedly as if she is crossing it, and then she just turns her head back and looks up at me. Unlike before, her wide-open eyes were directed straight at me.

In that state, Ina quietly raised the tail of her mouth.

“Today, it was worthwhile to sleep less.”

She smiled at me.

“…… Is that so?”

I turned my head and barely answered.

A surprise attack like this is lethal, though.

Maybe today will be a very pleasant day, albeit a little bit.

I thought so.
