Reincarnated As Mizuki - Volume 3: Genin Chapter 47 Interlude 5: Lazy Day

Mizuki spent the night recounting the day’s events to Anko, only avoiding parts such as how he had been forced to use adrenaline to prolong Saikuru’s suffering.

Despite these efforts, Anko was able to tell that Mizuki was still hiding some minor details from her, although she understood that it was probably hard enough for him already, so she didn’t push the issue.

Tears even started to gather around Mizuki’s eyes at one point when he was recounting the story, the point when he described how he was forced to torture a man in the name of science.

Although, despite the disgusting things Mizuki felt he did, despite the acts of evil and hate that he had inflicted upon those who didn’t deserve it, Mizuki felt that Anko’s opinion of him didn’t change one bit.

Her will did not waiver as she continued to comfort Mizuki, despite the things he had done, she was not remotely disgusted with him or disappointed in him.

She just sat there with him.

Lending him her shoulder and trying to empathize with him.

However, as the story dragged on and time passed, both Mizuki and Anko began to feel the forces of weariness overtake them as they fell asleep in one another’s arms.

(A/N: How Lewd)

….

Mizuki woke up the next morning and slightly groaned, groggy from being jolted out of the land of dreams.

However, as Mizuki tried to get up, he felt something on top of him.

Curious as to what it was, Mizuki looked around only to see that he wasn’t in his bedroom.

Mizuki: {That’s kinda strange, maybe I sleepwalked over here.}

Mizuki’s gaze peered up only to be face to face with Anko, with hers only being separated from his by mere centimetres.

As Mizuki saw what was above him, he had two thoughts that immediately flashed into his mind.

Mizuki: {How is such cuteness possible? This should be illegal}

and

Mizuki: {WHAT? ANKO! WHAT THE HELL?}

Then, like a lightning bolt striking a tree, Mizuki’s memories of the previous night came back to him in a flash.

Mizuki: {So we fell asleep like that huh, damn I’m lucky to have a friend like that.}

Mizuki: {Although, she must move around a hell of a lot in her sleep for her to end up on top of me like this.}

Mizuki had a light smirk on his face at the thought before resuming his old position, trying to enjoy the moment as much as possible.

Mizuki never understood when the main characters in anime made a big deal when they woke up with something amazing happening next to them.

Like for example Issei at the beginning of DxD. If he decided to be quiet and just shut up rather than screaming, he would be able to chill with a total babe who was just n.a.k.e.d in his bed.

(A/N: I had to take that shot)

Mizuki: {Besides, If I leave and she wakes up, I would be mortified.}

After simply lying down and relaxing for fifteen minutes, Mizuki felt some slight movement above him as Anko woke up.

Similar to Mizuki’s reaction, Anko quickly realized the situation that she was in after she woke up.

Anko: {EH? WHAT’S GOING ON?}

After being hit with her memories from the previous night, Anko had a slight caring smile on her face as she looked towards Mizuki.

Anko: “I-I-I’m only staying here because I don’t want to wake him up”

Anko muttered those words to herself as she resumed her old position and relaxed in a manner similar to Mizuki, although inside she knew that her reasoning behind her choice was completely different.

Anko: {So. Damn. Comfortable. Surely nobody would mind if I were to just stick around like this for a little whilst longer.}

Anko: {Besides, If I leave and he wakes up I would be so embarrassed.}

Luckily for the both of them, Orochimaru had given them the day off, mainly due to the fact that he needed his assistant to stay sane if he wanted him to be effective.

And So, Mizuki and Anko stayed in their positions, perfectly comfortable and absolutely refusing to be the first to wake up, fearing that embarrassing shenanigans would follow.

Slowly but surely, the minutes transitioned into tens of minutes and those into scores of minutes as both Mizuki and Anko realized what was happening.

(A/N: A score is 20)

Mizuki and Anko: {They are awake as well!}

However, by this point, too much time had passed.

They could not simply get up and admit that they were awake the entire time.

That would be an embarrassment.

A loss.

Quickly things began to spiral out of control until they both reached the same conclusion.

Mizuki and Anko: {The only way to win…Is to prove that they are awake!}

Naturally, they couldn’t physically move in any significant way or use chakra, as the other person would then “wake up”, resulting in an automatic loss.

So, things gradually evolved into a game where they would randomly open their eyes scanning the other person to see if they could catch them doing the same.

And whilst permanently staring would certainly be more efficient, neither of them could be bothered to do such, resulting in their current situation.

Seconds rolled into minutes as the two continued to play the game with one another, determined to not get caught.

By this point, the original cause behind the game was completely lost, as all they cared about was winning this strange ‘competition’ they had created.

Eventually though, be it through sheer fate or coincidence, they both opened their eyes at the exact same time as they stared at one another.

Although, this deadlock did not last so much as a second.

As soon as they both saw one another, they both ended up bursting into laughter at the sheer stupidity of their antics.

Anko: “God it’s been forever since I was able to sleep in like this.”

Mizuki: “Same.”

Mizuki: “Want to get something to eat?”

Anko: “Kinda, but that would involve one of us getting up make something and Im comfortable in this position so I’m gonna pass, and I’m too lazy to make shadow clones.”

Mizuki chuckled as he had the exact same opinion as she did, and could anybody blame him? It was just so cozy.

Mizuki: “Five more minutes?”

Anko: “Five more minutes”

Mizuki and Anko again let loose fits of light laughter as Mizuki was able to weld together a couple of hand signs after some struggle.

Mizuki: {Striking Shadow Snakes!}

Instantly, a long snake shot out of Mizuki’s sleeve and grabbed onto the extra blanket he had stored in the closet, before retracting towards him and letting the blanket go, causing it to unravel itself and fall on top of them.

Mizuki: “Goodnight”

Anko: “Goodnight”

And so, the two students of the academy infamous for sleeping in class did what they did best.
