Naruhito (53)
Sai didn't come to breakfast either. Is it because he's in too much pain to eat? The dining room is closer to his room than mine.
I should bring him something.
Maybe he can eat ice. Ice is tasty.
I opened the freezer and realized that not long ago, I ate too much ice and got a stomachache, so it was taken away from me.
"There’s no ice for you."
Hiiro said.
There's none. He can't eat any. I wasn't trying to eat it. Somehow, I felt annoyed.
There's no helping it. I'll use the one candy I hid. When I took it out from under the bed covers, it was sticky.
"You hid candy in such a place? It's melted all over. Oh no, the covers."
Jeez, Hiiro, you're so noisy.
Since I couldn't give this to Sai, I thought about eating it myself or putting it back, but it was taken away from me.
"What are you doing? You just had breakfast, didn't you? You left some porridge, yet you're snacking? No snacks. And don’t hide things under the bed covers. Look at this."
Hiiro said while lifting the covers. They were stained and sticky, giving off a sweet smell.
"It's a hassle to clean when it gets this dirty. You can't hide candy since it melts. No hiding things under the covers."
Then where should I hide it? If I put it in my pocket, it would get washed. I got scolded before for that, too.
Well, right now, the more important thing is what to bring to Sai.
I climbed onto the bed and lay face down, thinking. How about a puzzle? Should we do it together? Or should I leave one with him? Aoba and Rikimaru gave me three. They’re fun because you can play with them over and over after you mix them up.
As I was thinking, I was suddenly picked up, which surprised me.
"They're going to change the bedding, so move for a bit. They said they'll wash all the sheets too."
Leaning against Hiiro, I decided to go with the puzzle.
Two female servants came in, lifted the bedding, and took it out. Hiiro threw the melted candy into the trash.
Oh no.
"Hey. I can still eat that candy."
"No. What if you get a stomachache again?"
"I'll be fine."
"Who said that? Not long ago, you cried because your stomach hurt."
"I didn’t cry. I stopped eating ice."
"Melted candy is also no good."
Feeling annoyed, I turned my face away from Hiiro.
"I'm going out, so put me down."
Hiiro looked surprised but put me down. I huffed, picked a puzzle, and left the room.
