Author: Mukai Tenjin / Illustrations: Ukami
When I, Hachiman Hikigaya, woke up, it was already past 1:30 in the afternoon.
I wondered why I had slept until this late.
Oh, right. Yesterday, I had casually downloaded some little game onto my phone, but I got more absorbed in it than I expected.
Thinking, I have tomorrow off, so I might as well play as long as I can, I ended up playing until dawn. Come to think of it, the lethargy of waking up in the afternoon on a rare day off was incredible. The feeling that I had wasted an entire day was reproaching me.
...However, I quickly changed my mind. This sort of thing was just business as usual.
In fact, I had gotten up in the evening last week and wasted the whole day. Considering that, I had actually woken up early today. Wonderful. That meant I would find three mon. Sleeping this long and still finding three mon was truly wonderful.
Oh, right, how much would three mon be worth in modern money?
I searched "three mon modern value" on my phone. Let's see... Mm-hmm, it differed depending on the era, but it was around a hundred yen... Not bad. That meant I had earned a hundred yen for free, right? Lucky me. The problem was, where exactly was that hundred yen now?
As I thought about it, my stomach growled. All right, before looking for that hundred yen, I should fill my stomach. I headed for the living room.
"Hey, Komachi. Is there any breakfast left?"
Even as I thought, It doesn't really seem like breakfast time anymore, I called for Komachi, but there was nobody in the living room.
