“You should just stay the night.”

“You could just stay over.”

While sitting on the sofa, he casually suggested I stay the night.

Wha...!? Isn’t Mie-kun being a little too casual...?

“There’s plenty of bedding, and if we go to a store that’s still open, you can get anything you need, right?”

Sure enough, he said his parents were coming to stay, so they probably have bedding.

Even if we’re childhood friends, wouldn’t it be awkward to spend the night with an older woman...? I don’t want to be a bother when he’s gone to all this trouble.

I wonder if I’d be in the way. I muttered that softly.

When I thought Mie-kun looked blankly puzzled, he burst out laughing.

“What’s that supposed to mean! ...There’s no way you’d be in the way.”
