The Invisible Man and His Soon-to-Be Wife (透明男と人間女～そのうち夫婦になるふたり～)

Good morning.

S-Someone's here! Is...

They're asleep?

That smell... It's Akira-san!

Excuse me... are you...?

That's right. He was on a stakeout all night.

But why is he sleeping there?!

It's my usual spot, so I let my guard down!

That was his l-lap...

And I sat right down on it!

I want...

...to kiss more!

Wait, am I just being greedy?!

Maybe people don't usually do it that often?

If I want to kiss him...

Why don't I just do it?

No one else is here, right?!

Which means now is my chance!

But am I allowed to just do it?

But we're also dating!

J-Just a little one...

There!

This area... around here...

What are you doing?

Um... not telling!

You aren't?

Well, the others don't seem to have caught on.

Is someone else here?!

No.

W-Were you...

awake this whole time?

Not telling.

Akira-san!

I made copies of the documents you asked for.

Thank you.

You're in the office all day today, right?

Yes.

I'm just putting together reports.

Oh, is it that time already?

You can head home if you want.

Thanks for your hard work.

Yes... same to you.

It's been a week since he brought up living together.

He hasn't even walked me home...

When are we supposed to discuss the arrangements?!

I'm on tenterhooks about it!

I'm over here searching for properties online every day!

Is something the matter?

N-No, I just...

wondered if we could walk home together today.

Let me see...

This could take me a while.

Would you mind waiting?

I-I'll gladly wait!

Oh, that's right.

Since it'll be rather late,

would you be interested in staying over at my house?

S-Staying over?!

Shizuka-san. I'm sorry for the long wait.

STAYING OVER

Shizuka-san?

W-We're going to your house, right?!

Ow!

Are you all right?

Should we call it off after all?

Absolutely not!

R-Right.

Anyway,

let's stop by a convenience store to buy dinner and things you might need.

R-Right!

They have overnight sets with toner and such.

Is there a brand you prefer?

N-No...

You'll need a makeup remover and a toothbrush...

The shopping's getting done so fast...

It's so easy!

I don't need to call over a staff member!

And...

What size bottoms do you wear?

They have M and L.

Emm.

M, right?

I'll get you rung up.

Akira-san is so smooth.

He didn't even hesitate to ask about my underwear!

Such an adult! Such an adult!

What?

Does that mean... he's used to this stuff?

W-We're here!

Though, I've actually been here before!

I'm staying... I'm staying the night tonight!

In a man's apartment... in my boyfriend's apartment!

Are you nervous?

You seem quite tense.

Since we're considering living together in the near future,

I thought it would be good to try a night together...

I guess I am moving too fast, though.

I'm sorry.

That's right!

When you live together, you spend every night together!

What a thought!

Y-Yes?

Yet I... I...

I totally jumped the gun and started searching for properties instead!

I'll go home with Akira-san every day! Squee!

I'm so embarrassed! I got completely ahead of myself!

She seems extraordinarily anxious.

Er... should we try the sleepover another night?

I want to try the sleepover.

I don't want to go home.

I understand. Let's spend the night together.

You must be hungry. Come on in.

Y-Yes! I'm starving!

Oh, I know.

I'd like to show you around my apartment.

What?

You showed me about it the first time I came...

There are some things I haven't walked you through yet.

This door is on the right as you enter.

I see.

This is the bedroom.

You usually sleep in here, then?

Yes.

As we walk along the right side of the bed,

there's a lamp here.

R-Right!

I'll take the couch tonight, so I want you to stay here.

I'll be sleeping in Akira-san's bed?!

Last, I'll show you to the bath.

Feel free to make use of it now.

I'm naked in Akira-san's house!

But... what is this feeling?

I'm kind of embarrassed, kind of excited...

Kind of... delighted?

I'm acting like this over my first sleepover.

Can I really handle this?

Akira-san.

Are you here? I thought I heard something.

Yes,

I'm sitting on the sofa. Feel free to sit next to me.

If you don't mind.

Humans dry their hair, don't they?

I'll bring a hair dryer for you.

Invisible people don't have to?

Our hair and skin have different properties, so we don't need to.

It would actually be bad for my hair to do so.

I'll get it.

Why does he have one if he doesn't use it?

If someone stays over? Karma-san, maybe?

He's used to this stuff?

Maybe he had a girlfriend before?

He's so mature and kind, of course, it's natural that he would...

Here it is.

R-Right!

This should make me so happy...

so why am I anxious?

Did he dry his last girlfriend's hair like this?

Did he discuss dating with the presumption of marriage with her?

No, stop that!

Getting in my own head about it will just depress me!

Did that tickle?

Hey... Akira-san?

I'd like to... kiss.

Let's not.

It might make me want to skip a few steps.

I'm sorry.

SKIP A FEW STEPS?!
