Curled up on a beanbag chair in the dia room, Eriri held a bag of potato chips and crunched away while staring at the huge screen.
"Scary Movie, huh? How did you guys suddenly decide to watch this?"
Ichin replied, "It wasn't my idea. It was the three of them. At first I thought we were going to watch a horror movie, but when I got here it turned out to be this instead. Still, the movie is pretty good. It's quite entertaining."
"That's true."
Eriri nodded in agreent.
"If you made watch a horror movie at night, I wouldn't dare. This kind of thing is much better."
Utaha imdiately exposed her. "You probably wouldn't dare watch a horror movie even during the dayti, would you?"
"Who says that? It's just a horror movie!"
"Then how about we watch one tomorrow during the day? I've actually been looking for horror movies these past few days. I found several, both new and old. Want to try one tomorrow?"
The mont Utaha said that, Eriri, who had been trying to act brave, imdiately shrank back.
"Tomorrow I have to grind gas," she said, pulling her neck back slightly. "The Apex season is about to end. I need to climb ranks. I don't have ti."
Utaha waved her hand dismissively.
"That doesn't conflict. You can watch the movie first, then have Ichin help you rank up afterward. Just call Ruri or Umiko or soone to join you. Ranking up will be easy."
It had to be said that the proposal was extrely tempting.
Eriri frowned and thought about it for a mont. After taking a deep breath, she finally agreed.
"Fine! It's just a horror movie. Who's afraid of that? Besides, I won't be watching it alone anyway!"
Seeing Eriri agree, Utaha revealed a satisfied smile.
"No problem. I'll watch it with you tomorrow. Yukino and Haruno-nee will be there too."
Although she hadn't been part of the conversation at first, Haruno imdiately agreed after hearing Utaha ntion her.
"Sure. I don't have anything going on tomorrow anyway. Watching a horror movie together sounds fun."
Yukino also had no objections. Although she was a little afraid of this type of film, she could barely accept it if everyone watched together.
As for Ichin, he looked at Utaha helplessly.
"Hey, why did I suddenly get assigned the job of accompanying soone to play gas?"
"What? Isn't letting you play gas a good thing?"
Ichin could see through it now. Utaha clearly wanted to see Eriri get scared by the horror movie, so she had dragged him in as bait.
"Hmm… fine. I'm not really interested in ranking up, but playing a bit is fine. Eriri, when we play tomorrow, is it okay if I stream it?"
"Sure, sure. No one's going to stream snipe us anyway. Go ahead."
Eriri agreed imdiately. After overcoming the initial fear of horror movies, her courage had suddenly grown.
It was just a horror movie after all. Even though she hadn't watched one in a long ti, she didn't think she would actually be scared. She wasn't a kid anymore!
With tomorrow's activity decided, everyone turned their attention back to the movie and happily continued their movie night.
Sunday.
Today, Ichin didn't wake up early for exercise. Instead, he slept in a little longer while holding Utaha.
As for Yukino, she also slept in today. It was that ti of the month for her, and her period had arrived right before going to bed the previous night after the movie.
Because of that, Haruno ended up being the first one to wake up.
Walking out of her bedroom and noticing how quiet the house was, Haruno looked a little confused.
"So no one's making breakfast today? Guess I have to do it myself."
Since she was already awake and didn't feel like going back to sleep, Haruno washed up quickly and went downstairs.
The mont she ca down, the cats in the house imdiately surrounded her. It was obvious they were hungry.
"Alright, alright, I know. I'll pour your cat food now."
Walking to a corner of the living room, Haruno picked up the large container of cat food and poured so into the neatly arranged bowls.
Once she finished, the cats imdiately gathered around and started eating from their own bowls without trying to steal from the others.
Haruno watched for a mont and nodded in satisfaction.
"Hmm, their cat-morality education is clearly working well."
After that, she went into the kitchen to prepare her own breakfast.
Luckily, there were dumplings already prepared in the refrigerator. She took out ten and cooked herself a bowl of dumplings, comfortably eating them while watching TV.
Not long after Haruno finished eating, Ichin, Utaha, and Yukino ca downstairs one after another.
Ichin and Utaha looked fine. Yukino, however, had a slightly pained expression, though thanks to her regular exercise, it was much better than before.
Seeing Haruno already watching TV, Ichin said in surprise, "Haruno-nee, you woke up pretty early today."
"You guys just woke up too late, okay?"
Rolling her eyes at him, Haruno continued, "Yukino gets a pass, but why did you and Utaha sleep in this late? It's almost ten."
Ichin glanced at the clock in the living room. It was already 9:50 AM, which definitely wasn't early.
Stretching a bit, he looked at Yukino.
"It's already this late, and lunch isn't that far away. Let's eat sothing light first. I'll cook sothing good for you at noon. What do you want to eat?"
Yukino sat on the sofa and thought for a mont before looking at Haruno.
"What did you eat, Sister?"
"Dumplings~"
"Then I'll have dumplings too. Just a small portion."
Ichin nodded.
"Alright, dumplings it is. Utaha, dumplings are fine for you too, right? Boiled dumplings or pan-fried dumplings?"
After thinking for a mont, Utaha chose, "Pan-fried dumplings. With this weather, I'm not really in the mood for soup."
Yukino imdiately followed. "Then I'll have pan-fried dumplings too."
"Okay, I'll make them. Wait a bit."
Since it was already close to lunchti, Ichin didn't make too many pan-fried dumplings. They were just ant to fill their stomachs a little. At noon, he prepared a proper lunch so Yukino, whose body wasn't feeling great, could enjoy a satisfying al.
Not long after lunch, Eriri arrived.
Seeing Eriri walk in aggressively, Utaha smiled.
"What's this? So eager to watch the horror movie?"
Eriri lifted her chin proudly.
"Hmph. It's just a horror movie. I'm not scared!"
What she didn't say was that after waking up in the morning, she had spent a long ti giving herself psychological encouragent, trying to hypnotize herself into not being afraid of horror movies. She had no idea if it would actually work.
Utaha crossed her arms and said, "Alright then, let's go. I've already prepared the movie. We can start watching as soon as we go upstairs."
Everyone headed upstairs together.
Ichin was also curious about what horror movie Utaha had prepared. Although she said she had gathered many options, he didn't know the actual list at all.
After entering the room, they drew the curtains and turned on the projector. Utaha then plugged in the external hard drive and opened the movie she had planned to watch.
When Ichin saw the title of the film, he couldn't help but shiver.
Good grief.
