Chapter 1705: Noontime Founding Festival with Shallow Vernal ⑫

I’m starting to feel like I’m slowly regaining my consciousness. How should I say this…… My consciousness is becoming clearer, but I still want to stay in this comfortable slumber, feeling a little too lazy to open my eyes.
As I was thinking about such a thing, I suddenly felt something soft and squishy touch my lips. It’s pleasantly soft, seemingly sucking my lips in, with a hint of sweetness to it, and the faint warmth feels incredibly comfortable.
……No, wait, what is this I’m feeling? As my sleepiness became clearer, I started to wonder what my lips is touching, and when I slowly opened my eyes……
[ ! ? ! ? ]
At the moment I opened my eyes, I didn’t know what had just happened…… but soon the the feeling on my lips disappeared, and seeing Shiro-san’s face slowly moving away, I understood that what I had just felt was a kiss, and my mind went blank for a moment with astonishment.
[You’re awake. Good morning.]
[Ah, eh? G- Good morning…… Eh?]
That startled me. It was so unexpected that I was seriously surprised. Seeing Shiro-san’s face up close right after waking up was one thing, but the moment I comprehended what was happening just now was a kiss, it felt like blood was rushing up to my head.
No, when I looked at it calmly, I could understand what Shiro-san had done. In other words, she woke me up with a kiss.
In fact, once my consciousness had awakened to some extent, I had felt that sensation of a kiss on my lips, so now that I think about it, it’s highly likely that she kissed me when she realized I had woken up.
[……Well, that really surprised me.]
[Fumu. The surprise was a success then.]
[Surprise…… Hmmm. Well, when you say it’s a surprise, it certainly surprised me.]
Saying that, I smiled wryly and sat up. Despite the slight embarrassment, maybe because my body was warmed from the surprise, the sea breeze felt refreshing.
[……How long have I been asleep?]
[About 30 minutes.]
[For a 30-minute-sleep, I think I slept pretty well.]
[Fumu. Did you have a comfortable sleep?]
[Eh? T- That’s right. I think it felt pretty comfortable.]
[Did you feel good when you woke up?]
[W- Well, the surprise did surprise me…… but yes.]
[Do you want to sleep in my lap pillow again?]
[……………………Well, if you would do it for me……]
[I see, you’re reserving my lap already huh. Please look forward to the next opportunity.]
[Ah, yes.]
I don’t know how our conversation led to that, but under the pressure that brooked no refusal, I found myself nodding. Well, Shiro-san’s lap pillow did feel so comfortable that sleeping on it might become a habit, and even now, I slept well and woke up feeling good, and I feel refreshed.
If she asks me if I would like to do it again…… Well…… I certainly want to do it again.
[Ahh~~ Errr, well then, I think it’s about time we went around the Founding Festival again.]
[You’re right…… But before that……]
[Unnn? Wha———- Wait!?]
After muttering so, Shiro-san gently touched my shoulder and pulled me close. Of course, not being able to resist Shiro-san’s strength, she pulled me close, and just like that, she quickly kissed me.
As I felt the soft and pleasant sensation once again, one of Shiro-san’s hands gently caressed the back of my head. After experiencing what felt like a bewitching warmth that somehow had this motherly feeling to it for a while, Shiro-san pulled her face away from me.
[……I can see that the one earlier was a good morning kiss…… but what kind of kiss is that kiss just now?]
[I just wanted to kiss you.]
[I- I see…… You’ve been liking doing your surprises today.]
[Fufu, aren’t such surprises nice to have sometimes?]
[Well…… I suppose so.]
Even though I responded that way, I feel like she had just been striking me one after another, so as a light counterattack…… I gave the smiling Shiro-san a surprise kiss in return.
It was just a light kiss on her lips, but perhaps she hadn’t expected it, as Shiro-san’s eyes widened slightly.
[……Well, that’s my counterattack.]
[Fumu. I was surprised, but it was still a benefit. You can give me more of those counterattacks, you know? Such counterattacks make me delighted.]
[Feels like there won’t be an end to this, so for the time being, let’s go back to the festival.]
Seeing Shiro-san looking somewhat cheerful, I also couldn’t help returning back a smile. Along with such indescribable happiness, I stood up to head back for the Founding Festival.

Serious-senpai : [Guaaaahhh, t- these guys, freaking flirting until the very end…… D*mn it, d*mn it……]
? ? ? : [I wonder what the will be like though? Is it an “evening” one or a “night” one……]
Serious-senpai : [It’s night! IT’S NIGHT!!!]
? ? ? : [Ah, then next up would be evening then……]
Serious-senpai : [WHY!?]
