A/N: VOLUME THREE OF THE LIGHT NOVELS CAME OUT TODAY IN ENGLISH! IT'S PERFECT! *runs around house with copy in hand* Also, WHEN DID WE PASS 50,000 VIEWS!? I LOVE YOU SO GUYS!
Tuesday, December 16, 2025. Kirigaya residence (Right it's weird that it's today's date!? Minus the year)
Kazuto opened his eyes only to have the sun blind him momentarily, having forgotten to close the curtain of his window. He sat up and ran his hand through his hair, flattening the side that had stood up in his sleep as he looked at the time on his phone, the screen reading 7:22
'Asuna's going to come over later so I should probably clean up the room a bit...' he thought as he looked at the pile of mechatronics manuals and textbooks he had piled near the corner of his room.
'Maybe I should start by organizing my books again...' he thought as he got up from the bed and walked out of his room, going downstairs to see Sugu face down on the table again with their mother in her work clothes. He looked at Midori and pointed at Sugu.
"She's tired again." Midori said as she took a bite out of her toast and read the newspaper from her tablet. Kazuto sat next to Sugu and started poking the side of her head.
"How are you tired? You went to sleep early last night." he asked her. Sugu rolled her head so that it was on her side and looked at him, her eyes still reflecting the drowsiness she had.
"I might have slept early but that doesn't mean that I'm not still sleepy…" she said before she closed her eyes again. Midori saw this and sighed.
"Suguha didn't you wake up to do your morning practice?" She said, making her daughter open her eyes. Sugu sat up straight and opened her eyes, the drowsiness slightly wearing off.
"Right! That's what I was going to do!" She said, getting up from her chair and running to the dojo. Kazuto and Midori sighed as they saw the youngest of the household run.
"Why are YOU up so early?" Midori asked as she eyed her son, wondering what it was that he was planning.
"M-Me? I just thought that I would fix up my room, maybe practice some coding on my computer…" he said to her as he took a sip of some orange juice that Midori passed him.
"Is that so? Well when Asuna-chan comes by later, tell her that I said "hi", will you?"
"Will do." He said, almost spitting out his juice when he realized what they had both just said, "Wait, how did you KNOW!?"
"Mother's intuition? I pretty much figured it out when you were smiling last night." Midori said as she grinned at his shocked red face. She got up from the table, putting her dishes in the sink, and began to walk to the front door.
"Make sure to ask her when she can come over for dinner!" Midori said before closing the front door of the house, leaving a dumbstruck Kazuto at the table. Kazuto cleared his throat and ate his breakfast as quickly as he could before going back upstairs to get ready.
Asuna quickly ran up the stairs after arriving home, having gone with her parents to oversee the details of the next two trips that they would take to Kyoto later. She saw the time on the clock that was on her nightstand and smiled.
'Just a while before noon! Perfect!' she thought as she opened her closet to change into clothes she thought Kazuto would like on her. She put a dark gray sweater on top of her white blouse with a black skirt that matched her stockings.
'Right! I'm ready to go!' she thought as she threw her hair over her shoulders and grabbed her bag from her chair. She picked up her phone from where she threw it on her bed and put it in her pocket. Asuna walked down the stairs to the first floor until she heard the voice of her father coming from the living room.
"Did you need something, Otou-san?" She asked him as she walked in, hiding her bag behind her back.
"No I just wanted to make sure that it was you that was passing by… Did you change clothes?" he asked as he got a good look at her.
"E-Eh? Yeah… I-I did!" she said as she was trying to be calm, the stutter in her voice failing to do so. Shouzou smiled and laughed at how she was acting.
"Have fun at Kirigaya-kun's house."
"EH!? H-How did you know!?" she asked as her face went fully red.
"I'm your father! I notice a thing or two at times!" he said proudly before he directed his attention to the hallway of the kitchen, "though you might want to leave before your mother comes downstairs and asks."
"R-Right! I'll see you later!" she said as she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and went to the door to put on her shoes and red coat. She slowed down her pace after she was away from her house, realizing that it was snowing. She walked to the train station and sat down in one of the seats when she was aboard the near empty train. She checked the time on her phone and saw that she still had plenty of time since she had run out of her house. When it was her stop to get to Kazuto's house, she got out of the station and began walking down the street towards his house. As she was turning, she ran into someone.
"Ah, so sorry! Wait, Suguha-chan?" Asuna asked as she saw that the person she had knocked into was her.
"A-Asuna-san! Sorry I bumped into you; it's just that I'm in a hurry to go somewhere!"
"It's fine! If it causes you to be in a hurry then you should go!" Asuna said as she smiled and saw how Sugu ran towards the station that she had just come from. Asuna began walking the rest of the way, messaging Kazuto to let him know that she was outside. When she was just a few feet from the house, the door opened and Kazuto's popped out, giving her a smile that she subconsciously returned as she entered the house.
