After some time, it must have been unbearable.

Since feigning illness and fainting, Arashikaze Manami had been staring at Ryuto without a break, hardly leaving his side. This made Ryuto feel extremely uncomfortable.

What is this person doing? Ryuto couldn't help but think.

Finally, Ryuto..

"Umm..."

Acting as if just waking up, he rubbed his eyes in a somewhat exaggerated manner.

Seriously...

Can I surrender? Who can keep up the act with someone staring like this?

"Oh, Amagi junior finally woke up?"

Arashikaze Manami also pretended to ask.

"...Is Arashikaze senior going to do something?"

Ryuto complained subtly.

"No need to be so formal; I've said it before, haven't I? Amagi junior can just call me 'Manami senior' or 'Manami,' but I personally prefer the latter."

Hey, hey, I'm not buying anything; don't randomly recommend things and mislead consumers.

"Although it may be my own self-consciousness, why is Arashikaze senior always focused on this side?"

"Huh? No, I'm just casually looking at the scenery."

Saying that, Arashikaze Manami gestured towards the window next to Ryuto.

"Really? But I can't help but feel that's not the case."

"Oh well, is that so? But by the way, how did Amagi junior know? Weren't you asleep just now? In theory, if you weren't looking over here, you wouldn't know where I was looking, so why is that?"

Arashikaze Manami pretended to ponder.

"..."

"Ah, could it be that Amagi junior was secretly looking at me just now?"

Then she pretended to come to a conclusion.

"...How could that be? I really fell asleep just now."

"Yes, Amagi junior really~ fell asleep just now."

Arashikaze Manami deliberately emphasized the word "really."

"..."

Hey, hey, there's no need to subtly poke at someone's sore spot like this. Haven't you heard of the phrase "don't kick a man when he's down"?

Well, at least she didn't expose it directly to my face. No, wait, isn't what you're doing the same as exposing it directly?

During Ryuto's silent moment, Arashikaze Manami continued to make her "conclusions."

"Ah, if you were asleep, could it be that Amagi junior dreamt about me just now? Oh well, this is really..."

"How is that possible?"

"But it did happen, right? Isn't there a saying 'think by day, dream by night'? I think it must be like that."

Why does she believe in this so firmly? Where does this baseless confidence come from?

Moreover, even if it was a dream, it must have been a nightmare.

And so, Arashikaze Manami once again reached a conclusion.

"In other words, if you dream, it means you're thinking about it, meaning, Amagi junior must be constantly thinking about me, hehe, I'm so happy!"

Why did they come to this conclusion? What kind of illogical reasoning is this? The initial premise doesn't even exist.

"......"

Ryuto could only express his speechlessness. He couldn't communicate with this person at all.

Just then, a voice came from beside.

"Excuse me, sir. Are you okay?"

It was the slightly panicked voice of a flight attendant.

"I'm fine, just feeling a bit uncomfortable."

The young woman, who was being concerned for, smiled and waved her hand. Upon closer inspection, she was in her early twenties and pregnant. It's no wonder the flight attendant was so nervous.

But the situation was not as good as the young woman claimed, despite her fashionable appearance.

*Cough, cough.*

"Even if you say that, sir... I still think it would be best if I took you to the infirmary."

The flight attendant, who had no other choice, made this suggestion. Fortunately, the young woman did not insist.

"Well, thank you then."

"No, it's no problem."

With that, the flight attendant supported the young woman, who was stumbling, and moved towards the aircraft's infirmary.

Just as Ryuto's gaze was drawn to the scene that just happened.

Arashikaze Manami suddenly leaned in unexpectedly and pressed her forehead against Ryuto's forehead.

"......"
