Chapter 49 Matcha Red Bean Muffins Fell Asleep Together
Akina Ama took out a few DVDs and looked at them. Then she squatted down and fell silent. Out of curiosity, Yuu Miyabi and Osamu Miyabi also squatted down, and the three of them fell silent together.
Finally, Gong You couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up: "Hey you guys, why are you all so silent? These are just a few ordinary DVDs."
Well, although the names of these DVDs... at first glance, they don't seem interesting at all, and I don't know why Akina Amaho would buy them.
"Well, because all these names sound so artistic, I couldn't make a choice right away," Miyaji said.
Akina Amane sighed: "Yeah, I used to prefer watching art films, so I bought DVDs of that type, but I'm not interested in those films anymore."
She was also interested in art films when she first developed an interest in art.
However, after realizing that some of these art films were simply feel-good stories and others were just sentimental musings, I lost interest, and the DVDs have gathered dust.
I don't know why these DVDs were brought along when we moved. Maybe it was because she asked to bring the game cartridges, so these DVDs were taken along as well.
“In that case… how about we go out and rent a DVD and come back to watch it? I remember the DVD rental shop isn’t far from here,” Gong You suggested after thinking for a moment.
Although he and Miyaji had never been there before, because if there was a movie they wanted to see, they could just go to the cinema.
"Hmm, no need. If I remember correctly, there are a few DVDs that I bought out of curiosity about different types of movies." As Akina Amami said, she flipped through the discs again and finally pulled out a few at the bottom.
This collection includes regular romance films, coming-of-age films, as well as suspenseful thrillers, action films, and horror films—it has everything.
"I didn't expect you to buy so many." Gong Zhi casually picked up a disc, and upon seeing the name on it, he realized he had never heard of it before.
Akina Amane nodded: "Yeah, because I don't like going to the movies. I used to buy DVDs to watch them when I was interested in those things."
And... she also likes to buy some movies that aren't as popular.
After all, sometimes what's popular is just commercial hype. Of course, she'll also look into truly excellent films.
She sighed, hesitated for a moment, and then pulled out a horror movie disc.
Well, she's not really interested in romance or teen movies, and once she knows the ending of a suspense film, there's no need to watch it again. As for art films... to be honest, she doesn't want to be exposed to those for the time being.
Let's stick with horror movies. Even though I've seen them before, it's okay to watch them again.
Akina Amane took a deep breath: "Let's go see this movie."
The disc she solemnly pulled out had the words "Silent Hill" written on it in large letters.
Gong You had heard of it; it was a very famous horror movie, and there was a related game, which was said to be very scary. So he had never played it or watched the movie.
He couldn't help but swallow hard: "This one... I heard it's really scary. Are we really going to watch this movie on the last day of the year? Or should we choose something else?"
Miyaji nodded: "Yeah, if she's really scared, Yu will probably be trembling with fear when she sleeps at night."
He attributed the symptoms he himself might have to Gong You.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly be scared?" Gong You immediately turned around and glared at Gong Zhi.
Akina Amako sighed, "It's okay. Even if one of you gets scared, the other person will stay with you. You two can share a room."
They had already discussed this situation before they came here. The empty room only had one bed, which meant that the two brothers would share a bed.
Anyway, they're brothers, so they probably won't fight in the middle of the night, right?
Akina Amane suddenly became somewhat uncertain about this.
"Besides, it's still daytime, so there's nothing to be afraid of, right? Watching this kind of movie during the day should be better." She rested her finger on her chin and thought for a moment.
Gong Zhi picked up a DVD of a romance movie and said with a calm expression, "How about we watch this one instead? The title sounds interesting."
Hmm, it looks like a love triangle between two men, which is quite common.
She had watched that disc before, but she fell asleep because she was so bored. When she woke up again, the disc had already finished playing.
Akina Amane twitched her lips: "Well... that kind of thing isn't very interesting, the three of us would probably fall asleep watching it."
“But I want to see this. We haven’t seen this movie.” Gong You also leaned over to take a look at the name. Although it looked alright, he wasn’t very interested.
Gong Zhi just randomly picked a card at the last minute. Even if it wasn't interesting, it didn't matter. He didn't want to watch a horror movie on the afternoon of the last day of the year.
In the end, to avoid the fate of watching a horror movie, Miyaji waved his hand and forcibly stuffed the disc into Amaho Akina's hand, while also taking away the Silent Hill disc.
"Let's try watching this one first. Yu and I both want to watch it, and I think Mina will consider our opinions, right?"
Whether it was a misperception or not, cold sweat dripped from both his and Gong You's foreheads.
Akina Tensui glanced at them hesitantly.
However, she could understand. After all, she was quite frightened when she went to the haunted house last time. She didn't find this movie particularly scary, but... saying she wanted to watch a horror movie was really just to scare them.
After all, it's quite amusing to see their expressions suddenly change.
Akina Amazu chuckled, put the disc into the DVD player, and then turned to the two people who were still shaken but had just breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "I was just kidding. Even if you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have shown you this movie at this time."
She was just thinking about what other interesting movies she could watch.
However, she still failed—if we're talking about the more interesting movies here, the only ones are probably those few horror films.
“But this movie is indeed rather boring.” Akina Amami said, sitting back down on the sofa, with Yuu Miyabi and Osamu Miyabi sitting beside her.
"I want to see just how boring this is," Gong You muttered, crossing his arms in boredom as he watched the movie unfold on the television screen.
This film is indeed rather boring. It's just a simple campus romance story about a female protagonist being entangled with both a top student and a school bully. The dialogue is also repetitive, making it feel familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before.
After watching for less than half an hour, Gong You was already feeling drowsy. He even suspected that he had relaxed too much after lunch.
He yawned: "Ah...you're right, this movie is really boring."
Akina Amane shrugged. Although she was indeed getting a little sleepy, she could still manage to keep going: "Yeah, this movie is really boring. I regretted buying the DVD as soon as I finished watching it."
"But since you said you wanted to see it, I had no choice but to show this movie."
Gong Zhi's eyelids were drooping, and he regretted not looking at the disc more carefully before taking it out. Heaven knows how bad this movie really was.
If I had known... I would have preferred to watch that horror movie.
"Maybe we should change to something else... It's really making me sleepy." Gong You yawned again, muttering to himself as he involuntarily closed his eyes, which were already almost closed.
Before falling asleep, he only vaguely had one thought: the hypnotic effect of this movie is too strong!
Akina Amako glanced at Yuu Miyako, who had suddenly collapsed onto the sofa, and turned the movie volume down a bit. She then turned to look at Osamu Miyako, who was also dozing off.
"This weather... why don't you take Yu to her room to sleep?" Akina was a little worried, after all, the living room was still a bit cold. The house was usually deserted and lacked warmth, and was always chilly.
“It’s okay, Ayu won’t get cold if we leave him alone,” Miyaji said.
He felt he was about to fall asleep too. In fact, being here was so relaxing, and the movie was so soporific that they couldn't resist the drowsiness shortly after lunch.
After saying that, he blinked, then closed his eyes, tilted his head back, and fell asleep on the sofa.
Akina Amako sighed. Well, the reduced volume of the movie made her even more drowsy, and she was sleepy too, probably about to fall asleep as well.
She couldn't just leave these two people in the living room unattended; what if they fell asleep and got sick from the cold?
She stood up and pulled over a small blanket that was lying to the side. It was something she had prepared for herself. It would be very cold when she painted in the living room in winter, and she would use this thin blanket to keep warm.
Now, the blanket was laid horizontally, just enough to cover the three of them. Amamiya sat back down and covered the three of them with the thin blanket, letting out a soft sigh of relief. That would keep them warm.
She closed her eyes and fell asleep as well.
I always feel that... when the winter sun shines in, it feels very warm, and the surroundings are also warm.
It was probably because Miyako and Miyaji were both sleeping next to her.
This was the first time she had ever fallen asleep in the living room during winter.
The three of them fell asleep together, heads touching, bathed in sunlight, a truly harmonious scene.
The fluffy hair was a little uncomfortable against her skin, but it wasn't very rough; rather, it was soft. So, Akina only frowned slightly in her sleep and quickly got used to it.
Gong Zhi was the first to open his eyes.
He frowned, his first glance falling on the black screen of the movie that looked like it had been playing for a long time. Then he noticed that the three of them had fallen asleep together, and that Mina had probably brought them a thin blanket to cover them up.
No wonder they didn't wake up from the cold. Miyaji sighed, looked at Amaho Akina and Miyayu who were sleeping soundly, and decided not to wake them for now.
He glanced out the window; it was almost dark. He checked the time; it was nearly dinnertime.
Since that's the case, and having been entertained by Akina so many times, Miyaji also wanted to cook for Akina Amaho himself.
Consider it a New Year's surprise for her.
Tsk, he didn't really want to prepare it for Gong You, it was just something he did on the side.
Miyaji smacked his lips. Besides, if they didn't prepare, Yu would cause trouble again, and that would still bother Akina.
To avoid waking them, Miyaji tiptoed into the kitchen.
He glanced at the ingredients, confirmed what Mina wanted to make, and then began to work.
