As the caffeine in our coffee begins to wear off, we look at each other with a wry smile, lifting our heavy eyelids as best we can.

“Assassin… can you go to bed now? ”

“Sagami, I’m not sleepy yet.”

“Your neck, isn’t it wobbling back and forth now? Want me to sing you a lullaby? ”

“I’m fine. So don’t worry about me and sleep, Sagami.”

She’s been doing this for about 30 minutes. Assassins never try to sleep. I’ve already exceeded my limit long ago, and my sleepiness is at its peak. The time right now must be around 2 am.

If I sleep now, I will surely be killed when the handcuffs come off by some chance. I’m sure the assassin is still trying to kill me.

“What, you don’t feel safe in my house? I’ll hold your hand. ”

Good idea. As long as I hold her uncuffed hand, I can respond if the assassin moves strangely.

“Stay away from me! You’re going to crawl on me at night, aren’t you?! You’ll do all kinds of weird things to me while I’m asleep.”

The assassin shouts as I try to take her hand. By the way, my room is soundproof, so we don’t have to worry about disturbing the neighbors.

“Do you want to be… crawled on at night? I never thought of it .”

” ….. ! That’s a lie! Then why do you keep trying to stay awake?”

“I was afraid the assassin was going to kill me.”

The assassin’s face turns red. She looks away from me with an awkward expression on her face.

Of course, you must accept that much shame because you were misunderstood and got carried away.

“W,-well, there is a part of me that wanted to stay up to kill Sagami, too, you know? Being afraid of being crawled in the night is just an afterthought. I’m not really afraid of them in the first place. ”

The assassin snorts in a strong manner. I’m going to scare the hell out of the assassin who’s trying to be tough with me.

“Well, maybe I’ll crawl on you at night. I can give you a kiss to disturb your sleep.”

“Sagami can’t do anything anyway.”

“Do you believe so?”

The assassin scoffs at me because I’m a v*rgin. I say words to such an assassin as if I’m provoking her.

Then I put my face close to her face, which is still red. I put my hand behind her neck as if trying to kiss her.

“Haaagh—”

The assassin makes an indescribable sound of resistance. Then she closes her eyes tightly. It’s like she’s waiting for me to kiss her.

The assassin opens her eyes at the sound of the shutter of my smartphone’s camera.

“Sagami… you”

“I got an assassin’s face waiting for a kiss! I’m going to put it as wallpaper on my cell phone.”

Saying this, I see the assassin’s face on my smartphone, she is scared but waiting for me to kiss her, and her eyes are tightly closed.

The assassin reaches out her free hand to take my phone, but she cannot do so because her other hand is handcuffed.

“Delete it! That kind of face! ”

“You’re so cute, assassin. Now that I got this picture, I’m going to bed. Good night.”

“Hey, we’re not done yet! Sagami! ”

I say and go to bed with the screaming assassin behind me. I grab my futon and head toward the assassin.

I put the futon on the assassin, who has given up and is lying down.

“Here, a futon. You’ll be cold if you simply sleep like this.”

“I won’t forgive you just because you’re being kind… But thank you.”

“Yep.”

I return a proper greeting to the assassin, who grips the futon tightly in her hand and go back to bed. I jump into bed and fall asleep quickly. I am really tired today.

I think about the kiss I just almost gave her. I was really going to do it, but in the end, I was too scared to do it. I had to sleep with my head in my hands while wriggling.
