The next day . I could hear the cry of a bird singing the arrival of dawn through the window .
When I opened my eyes, I could see Lit’s sleeping face in front of me .
I was the only one in the world able to monopolize the defenseless and peaceful sleeping face of the girl they called Hero Lit .
Such thoughts came to me while I was half-asleep as I was filled with happiness and I gently placed my forehead on Lit’s forehead .
The welled-up sense of happiness spread like a gentle emotion in my heart .
“Hnfu . ”
Lit smiled in her sleep, perhaps she was having an enjoyable dream .
Feeling that the emotions spreading within me were transmitted to Lit, I broke into a smile as well . It was good that nobody saw it .
Let’s sleep a little more .
I closed my eyes .
As my vision closed, I felt that I could feel Lit’s presence through skin contact even stronger .
I was enjoying this peace during my morning slumber .
I eventually fell asleep again .
“Red . ”
I heard a whisper into my ear while I was sleeping .
It was ticklish yet comfortable and I stirred a little .
Then, a soft touch wrapped around my head .
It felt extremely comfortable so my arms hugged in front of me, seeking the warmth of touch as my consciousness melted into slumber once again .
” … Let me sleep a little longer . ”
My voice sounded very distant .

I heard a knock . It was coming from the entrance to the store .
Lit and I opened our eyes at the same time .
“Go-good morning . ”
“Good morning…”
In front of my eyes were Lit’s large breasts in her pajamas .
Somehow I seemed to have slept while burying my face between those soft peaks .
Lit was hugging my head in that posture and stroking the back of my neck .
We stared at each other and our faces turned red .
Lit shut her eyes in an attempt to conceal her embarrassment and pecked my forehead before moving away .
“We-well, it is probably Ruti and Tise!”
“Ye-yeah, we totally overslept! I’ll quickly prepare breakfast!”
I left the room in a hurry .
I’ll have to welcome Ruti and Tise in first .
“I’m coming!”
I moved to the shop entrance while calling out .
I touched my forehead with my finger as I walked .
“All right, I’ll work hard today . ”
I felt a smile on my face once again as I was about to start my day .
“Now then, what should I make in a short period of time . ”
I thought with arms crossed as I stood in the kitchen .
The oven wasn’t heated so it would take time to bake bread . I didn’t have the time to make soup as well .
“Hmm, in that case . ”

I started the fire and prepared bread, onion, tomato, cheese, ham, and butter .
Cutting the bread in the same way as when making sandwiches, I placed sliced tomato, onions, cheese, and ham . Perhaps I’ll season it with pepper .
I sandwiched them between the bread and placed it on a frying pan with melted butter . Then, I pressed on it from above with a small pot .
The aroma from the grilled bread made my sleepy body even hungrier but I endured for a little longer .
“This should be enough . ”
After I grilled the bread to a golden brown, I cut it diagonally with a kitchen knife and the hot sandwich was complete .
I poured a little bit of melted cheese on the cut portions .
“Now then, I’ll grill the remaining sandwiches . ”
I kept cooking quickly for the sake of everyone’s hungry stomachs, including my own .
“”””Thank you for the meal!””””
I, Lit, Ruti, and Tise, surrounding the table, said before we started eating the hot sandwich .
Ugeuge-san placed its front legs together with a moth it captured in front of it and performed the same ‘thank you for the meal’ act .
A spider with proper manners .
“Mufu~!”
Lit pulled and extended the cheese from the hot sandwich she was eating .
She wrapped the hot sandwich in the cheese and took another bite .
She was consuming it in such a delicious manner .
Tise seemed to have portioned the hot sandwich with a knife and was eating it with a fork .
There was no change in her expression but judging by the speed she was eating, she seemed to have liked it .
Ruti looked at the two of them and tilted her head lost in thought .
“Ruti . ”
“Em, Onii-chan, how do I eat this?”

“I’ll be happy if Ruti eats it in whatever manner Ruti likes . ”
“I see . ”
Ruti stared at the hot sandwich intently .
“Hamu . ”
She chose to eat it with her hand like Lit .
Ruti’s face brightened the instant the hot sandwich touched her mouth .
Ruti, Tise, and Ugeuge-san returned to their medicinal grass plantation while Lit and I started preparing the store .
“Hurry hurry, we won’t make it in time to open the store . ”
“Oh right, today is the day to deliver medicine to Newman’s place!”
“Then I’ll take care of the storefront so Red please settle that side!”
“Thanks!”
I was in the storage with a memo in one hand as I packed the ordered medicine with my other hand .
“We’re out of Henbane Grass in the storage with this . I wonder if we still have some in the garden . ”
I’ll think about it once I return .
Due to the recent rise in sales, the stock of medicine was quickly disappearing .
“The last will be antipyretic medicine for night soil fever . All right, that’s all . ”
I reconfirmed the packed medicine one last time . There were no errors .
“All right, Lit! I’m done here, I’ll help you out!”
“Then please help to check the change!”
“All right . ”
We were already used to the store opening preparations .
The hectic tasks were completed immediately and we somehow finished by our usual opening timing .
“Well then, today as well . ”
“We’ll do our best~”
The two of us said with our fists raised and we laughed together .
It was the usual routine .
Before noon, Red and Lit Apothecary .
“I’m setting off . ”
“Take care . ”
After Red exchanged words with Lit, he left the shop carrying a bag with medicine .
He was on his way to deliver medicine to Newman .
Lit was now alone and was feeling lonely so she decided to wash the teacup they used to drink tea together just now .
『Pikin』
“Eh?”
The sound came from Red’s teacup . On closer examination, there was a crack in the wooden teacup .
It was there even though it was not dropped . Lit picked up Red’s teacup and examined it .
“It cracked even though it was just sitting there . ”
A large crack ran through the teacup so it was probably impossible to hold tea like before .
“Red . ”
Lit recalled Red’s figure as he left and frowned .
Then, she closed her eyes .
“Wood Repair . ”
Lit made a magic seal while having a mental image of the original shape and the wooden teacup on her hand was completely restored .
“It’s fine now!”
Lit was in a good mood as she hummed and walked to the kitchen with the cup in hand .
