Tsuki Tsuki Vol 5 Chapter 2

Chapter 02: Reason for Jealousy

We arrived at gramps’ holiday house in the cars.
Since it was in the remote countryside, we were surrounded by fresh green and there weren’t any convenience stores nearby, let alone any vending machines.
Apparently my mother had stuff to do, so she left the words “Call me when you want to come home” and returned on the street we came from. After we watched my mother drove off, we entered the holiday house. However, when we went inside in high spirits, the interior was even dirtier than antic.i.p.ated, since it hadn’t been used in a long time.
Fortunately, the electricity and gas worked, but we certainly would have to clean the place.
Determined, we gathered in the living room and thought about the splitting up the work amongst us, when Kaorun clapped her hands.
“Everyone, I have a great idea. We—”
“Guys, let’s decide with rock, paper, scissor.”
Like I would stand for getting involved into something weird again. I cut into Kaorun’s words and wanted to split the work with a peaceful manner.
But Kaorun wasn’t so naïve as to allow that. Kaorun swiftly got behind my back and put her arm around my neck. She said to everyone threatening.
“Everyone, please do not move! Make a ruckus and Nanjou-sama can say farewell to his life!”
“….Farewell to my life, what do you think you’re doing?”
“I will do something so incredible embarra.s.sing that I cannot put it into words.”
Why was she showing a s.e.xy smile now?
To be honest, I wanted her to stop. For a while now, Kaorun’s soft b.r.e.a.s.t.s pressed against my back and a sweet fragrance blew over from her…Even though I knew she was joking, I felt lightly unsettled.
Kaorun paid no mind to my worries and continued while happily pinching my cheek.
“Everyone, if you value Nanjou-sama’s life, please be obedient and listen to what I say.”
Kaorun forcefully enforced her own opinion like always, but the girl’s reaction was unexpectedly indifferent.
“You two, stop playing around and hurry up with the cleaning.”
“Brother, Miss Maid, let’s be serious here.”
Machina said wearily while Nazuna advised Kaorun and me.
Moreover, Luna and Hijiri were showing a wry smile. No one seemed to care.
Well, only Elni casually joined Kaorun and was having fun by pulling on my cheek…
“…Your plan failed.”
I sighed of relief and called out to Kaorun.
Upon that, Kaorun strongly clung to me with her arm still around my neck for no apparent reason. Her overly elastic b.r.e.a.s.t.s pressed against my back. Moreover, her beautiful face was really close and her thin, supple fingers petted my chin. Then she said, facing the others.
“Since no one seems to care, I will steal Nanjou-sama’s lips in retaliation.”
Instantly, Hijiri and Luna shouted hastily.
“No, Kaoru-san! Don’t do anything weird to Shin.o.bu-kun!”
“Yeah! Please stop it! I will listen to whatever you say…!”
Upon Hijiri and Luna’s words, Kaorun smiled suspicious.
“Good, then you all will partic.i.p.ate in a game.”
“Fufufu, prepare yourself, girls. The game of darkness will start now.”
For some reason, Elni said threatening, when Kaorun continued with “Truly a Death Game”.
…Huh, were they going to start a battle royal?
Inadvertently, I grimaced and interjected.
“Hey, don’t make it anything dangerous, okay?”
“Do not worry, Nanjou-sama. While I call it a game, it will be settled through cleaning.”
“Cleaning? Quite peacefully for a Death Game.”
“Yes. So please rest a.s.sured.”
Saying that, Kaorun looked over the other girls and started to explain the game.
“With the help from everyone, we will now proceed to clean up the place, but to increase the effectiveness in it, it will be conducted in the form of a game. The person with the most effort will receive a benefit while the one with the least effort will receive a penalty.”
“…Penalty? Like what?”
I asked curiously, when Kaorun once again smiled suspicious and answered.
“As far as I could tell, all sleeping quarters seem to be shared rooms, so person with the lowest score will come to share a room with me. I will take this opportunity to do something perverted, so please be careful that you will not be attacked in your sleep.”
“Certainly a Death Game…”
I replied while lightly trembling, when Kaorun pinched my cheek lightly and continued.
“On the other hand, the winner gets the privilege of sharing a room with Nanjou-sama. There even might be a ’One mattress, two pillows’ kind of development.”
“No, it won’t. Such a game is rejected. Rejected, you hear.”
I immediately appealed the game to be cancelled. However,
“C- Certainly, if we do it like the Maid said, the cleaning will be more effective.”
“You are right. We better finish the cleaning quickly.”
Machina and Luna said fidgeting, agreeing to the game. Then, Hijiri too, coloured her cheeks red and said while looking at me.
“I want to be in the same room as Shin.o.bu-kun…So I’ll work hard.”
Instantly, Luna and Machina turned around at the same time and faced Hijiri opposing.
“So audacious, Goyou-san! It is not fair for you to hog it all by yourself!”
“Yeah! Hijiri, you pervert! Sullen Lecher!”
“I, I’m not a sullen lecher! Besides, I’m Shin.o.bu-kun’s fiancée, so there should be no problem with us sharing a room!”
“That is not true! It is a big problem! Even I want to talk a lot to Shin.o.bu-san! I will not lose to you, Gogyou-san!”
“My Sister is right! You just want to seduce Shin.o.bu again! I won’t let you do so!”
When Luna and Machina said so, Kaorun clapped her hands.
“Now then, we have discussed the details—So let the game start!”
When Kaorun gave the starting signal, Luna, Hijiri and Machina sprinted out of the living room full of motivation.
It was impossible to stop them now…
I sighed and tried a last resistance.
“…By the way, what happens if I win the game?”
“What are you speaking of? The game is limited to females, so you cannot not partic.i.p.ate, Nanjou-sama.”
“That’s some horrible treatment, really now…”
I was a bit dissatisfied, but I wouldn’t have a chance against Luna or Hijiri anyway, so I gave up on partic.i.p.ating in the game and called out to Nazuna and Elni, who had remained in the living room.
“So, you guys are not partic.i.p.ating?”
“Yeah. I’m afraid I can’t win against Luna-oneechan…”
“I see. And you, Elni?”
“The G.o.ddess can’t work on an empty stomach, so I’ll pa.s.s.”
“…Well, even with your stomach stuffed, it wouldn’t change anything.”
“Indeed.”
Elni admitted with a smile.
There, Kaorun, who had also remained in the living room, opened her mouth.
“Elni-sama, Nazuna-sama, I will prepare dinner now, so would you mind helping me out?”
“Meow!”
Nazuna gave back a salute, when Elni mimicked her and also saluted with a “Meow!”.
And then, both of them headed for the kitchen with Kaorun.
I followed the three of them and while cleaning the kitchen together, I called out to Kaorun.
“Hey, Kaorun, you’re not partic.i.p.ating in the game?”
“Yes, it is too troublesom—*cough*.”
After a cough to cover it up, Kaorun said with her usual inexpressiveness.
“There is no point in my partic.i.p.ating in the game, since the person with the lowest score will end up sharing a room with me.”
“I see. I think I heard your real intent, but I’ll pretend I haven’t.”
Replying with that, I continued the cleaning. After that I also intended to help with the cooking, but Kaorun pushed on my back and chased me out of the kitchen.
“Hey, what are you doing? Let me help too.”
“Nanjou-sama, no men in the kitchen. To be frank, you are in the way, so please watch some TV in the living room.”
“Don’t say I’m in the way. I’m quite skilled at cheering and food sampling, you know?”
I turned around and puffed my chest, when Kaorun showed a weary expression.
“Please leave, as you are a bother.”
“…Kaorun, certainly I might not be any helpful, but, my motivation doesn’t lose to anyone. Accept my pa.s.sion.”
“Please do not get burned. *blush*…”
“….Our conversation is so cold.”
“Indeed. Any colder and I would be catching a cold, so please get out already, Nanjou-sama.”
“Wait, wait. I’ll be serious, so let me help. I’m free anyway.”
As such I was talking with Kaorun, when I saw Elni open a bag of sashimi and sampling the tuna.
“Ah, El-chan, what are you doing. Don’t just eat it by yourself.”
Right away warned by Nazuna, Elni replied unbothered and with a smile.
“Nazucat, this is really good! Do you want to sample it too?”
“You know, El-chan, it’ll taste even better when we eat it together with everyone. Aw, El-chan, you dropped the sashimi.”
When Nazuna shifted her gaze to the slice of tuna that fell on the chopping board, Elni said covering up.
“Ohh, it’s still alive.”
“Geez, don’t fool around so much. Sit down, El-chan!”
Scolded by Nazuna, Elni guilty sat down formally on the spot.
Seeing that, Kaorun shifted her gaze back to me and said with a sigh.
“Nanjou-sama, I already have my hands full with just Elni-sama, so please take your leave now.”
“…Yes, sorry that our idiot causes you trouble.”
For some reason, I was ashamed and lowered my head to Kaorun. Then I left the kitchen behind me. Since I had free time, I went out into the garden and did my daily training. After that I nonchalant showed up in the living room, when there was already someone else.
That person— Hijiri wore the same maid clothes as Kaorun for some reason and was cleaning with a serious expression.
“Yo. I see you’re working hard.”
When I called out to her, Hijiri stopped her hands and came closer with a smile.
“What’s up, Shin.o.bu-kun? Could it be, you were interested in me?”
“Haha, as if.”
I shook my hand and denied with a smile, when Hijiri dropped her shoulders dejected.
“…You say hurtful things so easily.”
“Don’t mind it. It’s my way of showing affection.”
“I, I see. Makes me kind of happy…”
…Eh? What was this reaction? I was joking, okay?
Not minding my surprise, Hijiri showed a smile and said.
“Shin.o.bu-kun, I’ll work hard and win…and properly seduce you tonight. So, that is, look forward to it.”
“—That aside, why the maid clothes?”
I once again ignored the seduction comment, when Hijiri leaked a sad “You brushed it away again!”, then explained properly.
“I borrowed them from Kaoru-san. I thought it would be appropriate to wear while cleaning…”
“Hee, is that so.”
I made an agreeable response and once more looked at Hijiri.
…Mh, it suited her well. Really cute.
A black long skirt and a snow-white ap.r.o.n. Even wearing a maid hairbow, she was really charming.
When I stared at her, Hijiri fidgeted bashful and after a short hesitation, she changed her tone and asked expectant.
“H- How does it look, Master? Is it weird?”
“….Hijiri. How did you call me just now?”
“I called you Master.”
“…Once more, please.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Once more please.”
“Master.”
Hijiri said with a grin, which incredible raised my tension.
“I kind of, want someone like that at home.”
“R- Really? If you wish it, I’ll clean your house in this outfit too.”
I got the feeling that it would make me really happy. Just by imagining it made me form a smile.
But, when I thought about it, there was no need for it.
“Hijiri, I appreciate the thought, but we have Luna already, so it’s alright.”

“I lost to Luna-san!?”
“No, no. It’s not about losing or winning. It’s just that Luna neatly keeps the house clean, so there is no need for you to come to clean.”
I made a hasty follow up to the shocked Hijiri, when she brought her face closer and said.
“Then I’ll clean your room.”
“No thanks.”
When I replied instantly, Hijiri frowned sadly.
“Why? Even if I should find a perverted book in your room, well, I won’t throw it away, you know?”
“That’s not the problem. Besides, I keep my room clean. It doesn’t need cleaning.”
“…I see. Too bad.”
Hijiri lightly dropped her shoulders.
“…Mh, I feel bad for turning everything down, so I’ll clean your room instead.”
“Y- You can’t! I’ll pa.s.s on that!”
Hijiri rejected my suggestion with a red face.
There I rested a hand on Hijiri’s shoulder and said gently.
“It’s okay, Hijiri. Even if I should find a perverted book in your room, I won’t steal it like Asada.”
“That’s not the problem! I can’t show these books to you!”
“…By these books, you mean you also have perverted books?”
I asked surprised, when Hijiri turned red up to her ears and hastily shook both her hands.
“No! Kaoru-san lent these to me with saying ‘Please study the male heart with it’. They aren’t mine! And I wanted to give them back right away!”
“But, since you’re so perverted, you couldn’t hand it over so easily?”
“No! There just wasn’t the right timing to return them!”
Not only turned her face bright red, but even tears dwelled up in her eyes as Hijiri denied desperately.
As might be expected, I teased her a bit too much.
I slowly reached out my hand for Hijiri’s head.
“Hijiri, it was a joke, so you don’t need to get that fl.u.s.tered.”
While saying so, I lightly patted Hijiri’s head. Then I turned my back to her.
“Now then, I should be going as I’m only interrupted your cleaning. Give it your all.”
“Ah, yeah. I will…”
Hearing Hijiri’s reply from behind, I left the living room and trotted around the house, when this time I met Machina.
In opposition to Hijiri, Machina was clad in dark blue maid clothes and mopped the hallway with all her might.
Also, Machina’s maid clothes were the one she wore at the cooking contest before and was boldly open around the chest.
Because of that, I could deeply look into Machina’s cleavage as she was bending forward in her mopping. Her voluminous b.r.e.a.s.t.s were bouncing in her maid clothes.
—Before I noticed it, I stared at the lewdly rampaging white peaches. I could have stood there watching it forever, but that would have certainly been rude. Coming back to my senses, I hastily averted my eyes from Machina’s b.r.e.a.s.t.s.
At that moment, I made eye-contact with Machina.
Upon that, Machina stood up and came over with a faint smile. Then she puffed up her voluminous chest and said confident.
“How’s it? All clean, right?”
Machina made a face that she wanted to be praised.
I smiled and reached out my hand for Machina’s head.
“Well done. Good girl.”
“Ehehe—Wait, don’t treat me like a good!”
Machina said angrily, but she didn’t shake off my hand and let it pat her. What was kind of cute.
“Your hair is so silky—There! Twintails!”
“G- Geez, don’t play with my hair…”
Since Machina said so, I now poked her cheek.
“Ohh. Your hair is silky and your cheeks are soft.”
“H- Hey, stop with the cheeks too.”
“…The cheeks are no good either, huh. No other choice then. I’ll make do with your b.r.e.a.s.t.s.”
“Yes, please use my b.r.e.a.s.t.s. I’m sensitive there, so be gentl—wait, what are you saying, Shin.o.bu! My b.r.e.a.s.t.s are off-limits!”
Covering her b.r.e.a.s.t.s with both her arms, Machina hastily got away from me.
Just like Hijiri, I teased her a bit too much. Machina’s face was bright red and she looked down.
I wanted to apologize right away, but Machina said quietly while still looking down.
“…Uh- Uhm, Shin.o.bu, I was just surprised because it was so sudden, but if you insist, I wouldn’t mind making an exception and let you touch them.”
For real? What brought about this change of heart? Why was Machina so kind?
“…Could this be a trap!?”
“Fufu, guess you saw through it—wait, no! It’s not really a trap, so if you want to touch them, go ahead…”
“Can I?”
“Yes. But in exchange, be really kind to me afterwards, okay? I want you to pat my head a lot like Nazuna, and…”
Listening to Machina made me realize that she was quite the spoiled girl. But,
“…Seems too much trouble, so I’ll pa.s.s.”
I showed a fresh smile and replied.
Instantly, Machina became teary-eyed and strongly stretched both my cheek.
“…Ehm, my cheeks hurt like h.e.l.l.”
“Like I care, stupid Shin.o.bu! Besides, what you mean too much trouble! It wouldn’t kill you to be a bit nicer to me!”
“If you want me to treat you nicely, you have to do the same for me. For starters, let go already. Let‘s go with a peaceful approach. …By the way, that was a playful gag on ‘let go’ and ‘let‘s go‘.“

“What are you making a triumphant face for! Just to tell you, that joke was lame!”
“Don’t say that! It’ll only hurt me!”
I rubbed my index finger into Machina’s cheek as a counterattack— when I suddenly heard an affected “Kyaa”, which directly followed a loud noise.
…I got a bad feeling.
I timidly turned around, when my gaze fell on Kaorun collapsed on the floor with the stainless steel bucket toppled at her feet.
Needless to say, the content of the bucket spilled out and floated the hallway.
Seeing that, Machina glared at Kaorun and shouted.
“What are you doing! I finally got it all clean. Now it’s ruined!”
“…My apologies. My foot was caught in the bucket and I tripped. I will wipe it right away.”
While apologizing, Kaorun took out a pocket tissue and spread it over the floor.
“Hey! Use the rag for it! You’re only making it worse!”
When Machina shouted discontent, Kaorun smiled boldly and replied.
“…Have you forgotten? This is a game, Machina. Obstructing each other is only natural. You are at fault for letting your guard down.”
“d.a.m.n! I certainly let down my guar—wait, that’s cowardly! Besides, why are you, who isn’t partic.i.p.ating in the game, interfering?”
“Please do not mind such trivial matters, Machina.”
“It’s not trivial at all! Actually, Machina!? What are you casually calling my name for now! Add the ‘sama’ like you do with everyone else!”
When Machina demanded so, Kaorun shrugged her shoulders wearily.
“Demanding for others to call you with ‘sama’, who do you think you are?”
“U, Uhh…”
As she didn’t have anything to say back, Machina bit onto her lips frustrated and pulled on my sleeve for help.
There I petted Machina’s head in comfort.
“Machina, don’t let Kaorun’s words get to you. I’ll help you clean up, so let’s hurry up.”
When I said so, Kaorun frowned for some reason.
“….Nanjou-sama, you are taking Machina-sama’s side?”
Before I could answer that question, Machina puffed her chest and replied.
“Of course! After all he said that he would protect me! I take a bigger place in Shin.o.bu’s heart than you ever will! I’m different from you!”
The moment Machina said that somewhat confident— Kaorun warped her expression sadly.
However, it was only momentarily and soon enough Kaorun returned to her usual inexpressiveness.
Still, both her hands were strongly clenched.
“…Certainly, I am different from you. I do not behave spoiled as you do.”
“What you mean spoiled? I’m not really behaving spoiled.”
“You are not aware of it yourself? I knew it, spoiled people think different.”
Upon Kaorun’s sharp gaze, Machina was overwhelmed and averted her eyes.
“I don’t really get it, but is it bad to behave spoiled? I’m sure even you act spoiled towards someone.”
“…It is not allowed for me to act spoiled. Because I am… a tool.”
“A tool? What are you saying? You’re a normal human.”
“I am not.”
Kaorun slowly shook her head.
“I am a hybrid devil born between a human and a devil. I am not human.”
Upon these words, Machina widened her eyes in surprise…Bewildered she opened her mouth.
“…Still, you have parents, right? At least with you parents, you act—”
“I was abandoned by said parents.”
Cutting into Machina’s sentence, Kaorun continued lonely.
“How can I act spoiled towards parents that abandoned me?”
Neither Machina or I could answer that question.
We merely dropped our gaze and just kept our mouths shut in silence.
Then Kaorun suddenly lowered her head.
“My apologies for speaking of such weird matters. Everything just now was a lie. Please forget about it.”
Saying that, Kaorun turned her back to us.
“Hey, Kaorun.”
“…I will return to prepare dinner. Forgive me for interrupting your cleaning.”
Even when I called out to her, Kaorun didn’t turn around and left.
Left behind, Machina and I couldn’t call Kaorun to a halt and just stood there for a while.
Amongst that, Machina said isolate.
“…That maid might resemble my sister a bit.”
“Kaorun resembles Luna?”
Finding it unexpected, I asked back, when Machina nodded small.
“You know, until Sister came here— the human world, she never acted spoiled towards anyone. She was always kind and strong, so I didn’t noticed it. But when I saw her coming to the human world from the demon realm and talk with you…I noticed it.”
For a moment Machina stopped her words and faced me.
“That she actually wanted to act spoiled to someone.”
While saying so, Machina lightly dropped her shoulders.
“Despite that, I always let myself be spoiled by her. Because I was made fun of by everyone in the demon realm as a hybrid devil, I relied on my kind older sister. Actually, I should have noticed it faster.”
Saying with a sigh, Machina shifted her gaze towards the floor.
“…Shin.o.bu, that maid might want to act spoiled, but can’t, just like my sister. So pay some attention to her.”
“Yeah, okay.”
Nodding, I reached out my hand for Machina’s head.
“H- Hey, why are you suddenly petting my head?”
“Well, I was just thinking how kind you are.”
“D- Don’t tease me, idiot. You’re interfering with my cleaning, so go away!”
I had no intention to tease her, but I was chased away by the blushing Machina.
There I returned to the living room while pondering.
About the reason why Kaorun didn’t act spoiled in front of Hijiri.
Even though there was no way that Hijiri thought of Kaorun as a tool.
…I didn’t understand Kaorun’s feelings.

Conclusive, Hijiri won the cleaning battle.
Afterwards Machina tried her hardest, but fought in vain.
The favourite to win, Luna also apparently found some hidden perverted book of my grandfather and was troubled about it’s disposal, which allowed Hijiri to take the lead.
As a result, Hijiri took victory.
In other words, tonight I was going to sleep in the same room as Hijiri.
Luna and Machina had dropped their shoulders while Hijiri smiled for a while.
Still, Hijiri had claimed “I’ll work hard and win…and properly seduce you tonight. “, but what exactly was she going to do?
I was a bit excited— I mean, worried while I sat down for dinner.
For dinner there was a wide array of side-dishes as hamburger steak, fried stuff, fried potato and salad. It was a feast.
So Kaorun could cook stuff this delicious.
When I was astonished, Elni naturally s.n.a.t.c.hed a fried stuff from my plate.
“…Hey, why are you eating from my plate?”
“Because I’m a G.o.ddess.”
“Ah, I see. You’re righ—-as if! What are you doing, you idiot!”
First of all, I flicked Elni’s forehead and tried to s.n.a.t.c.h a side-dish of hers as payback. However, but Elni already had eaten all of hers and only left the vegetables.
There I made a small sigh, when Luna said with a wry smile.
“Elni-chan, I’ll give you some of my side-dishes.”
“Really?”
Luna nodded to Elni, who had sparkles in her eyes, with a smile and continued with a “but”.
“Only after you have eaten all of your tomatoes.”
“Tomatoes, red, hate.”
For some reason Elni spoke in fragments.
“Ehm, you probably have to eat them.”
“…Are you sure? If you make me eat tomatoes, it’ll turn into something unbelievable. When I eat tomatoes, incredible things like just now, where I couldn’t speak properly, happen. Therefore—”
“Here, Ah~”
Not letting Elni finish her sentence, I grabbed the tomato with my chopstick and held it out to her, when
“Yay~ Ah~”
Elni ate the tomato with a smile.
But soon enough she turned teary.
“Uwah! What a terrible taste~! That’s why I hate tomatoes!”
She said angrily.
“…You’re an idiot.”
“Fufu, I’ll take that as a compliment.”
Elni replied to the weary me with her chest lightly puffed up.
“How bra.s.s can you get? Actually, You aren’t a kid, so properly eat your tomatoes.”
When I told her advising, Elni looked at my vegetables and opened her mouth dissatisfied.
“But, you’re leaving behind your carrots too, Shin.o.bu.”
“It’s okay for me. Because Machina will eat them for me.”
“Eh? Me? Well, I don’t mind…”
I brought up the matter as a joke, but Machina surprisingly went along with it. Colouring her cheeks faintly red, she opened her mouth.
“…Ehm, what are you doing?”
Considering it strange, I asked her, when Machina brought her face closer with her cheeks still red.
“Y- You didn the ‘Ah~’ with Elni, so do so for me too.”
“Well, I don’t really mind…”
While saying so, I grabbed the carrots with my chopstick and held them out to Machina. But before Machina could eat the carrots, Kaorun suddenly leaned over and ate them.
“…Hey, why are you eating them?”
“Because there were carrots.”
Kaorun answered the frowning Machina with a triumphant face.
Upon that, Elni and Nazuna said admiring.
“I see. You say some profound things, Kaorun.”
“That was a bit cool.”
“Why! It wasn’t profound, nor cool!”
“How rude. I was only thinking of Nanjou-sama’s health and wanted to express that it is not healthy to be picky with food.”
“Then just say so! Besides, there’s no point in you eating the carrots!”
“You do have a point there. Then I will present Nanjou-sama my own carrots instead. Nanjou-sama, Ah~”
“Carrots, orange, hate.”
I mimicked Elni and rejected with broken speech.
Upon that, Kaorun shrugged her shoulders wearily.
“Then I have no other choice, but to make it easier for Nanjou-sama by feeding him mouth-to-mouth.”
“That only makes it harder!”
I retorted wearily, when Elni clapped her hands.
“When it comes to making it easier for Shin.o.bu, Luna should feed him by pinching the carrots between her b.r.e.a.s.t.s.”
No, that was rather hard too. To begin with, Luna wouldn’t agree to something like that.
So I thought, but Luna blushed and unb.u.t.toned two b.u.t.tons around her chest. Like Elni had said, she pinched the carrots between her b.r.e.a.s.t.s. Then she held out her voluminous b.r.e.a.s.t.s to me.
“Uhm, Shin.o.bu-san… go ahead.”
Even if she said so, since the carrots were buried in her deep cleavage, I had no clue how to eat them.
What to do…
When I was greatly perplexed in my mind, Kaorun helpingly extended her chopsticks towards Luna’s b.r.e.a.s.t.s.
“Nanjou-sama seems to be troubled, so I will take it upon myself to eat these carrots.”
Along with her words, Kaorun plunged her chopsticks between Luna’s b.r.e.a.s.t.s.
“Hyan! K- Kaoru-san, that is not the right one! Please do not grab any weird places!”
“…Weird place? Where would that be?”
She s.e.xual hara.s.sed Luna with all her might.
“Yah…. Nah… Kaoru-san, please stop it…”
“Yeah! What are you doing to Sister!”
“s.e.xual hara.s.sment.”
How could Kaorun say that so openly.
I respected her a bit, when Hijiri jerkily pulled on my sleeve.
“Shin.o.bu-kun, if you want, I can eat your carrots.”
I was grateful for her suggestion, but
“Brother, you can’t be picky.”
I was warned by Nazuna, so I turned down Hijiri…

…After dinner, we cleaned up with everyone and then returned to the living room, where we started to chit-chat. Then we took turns for a bath and Nazuna looked extremely sleepy after she came out of the bath. While listening to everyone’s talk, she nodded off, then suddenly opened her eyes only to nod off again. It would be better if she went to bed already, but she probably wanted to stay with everyone, so she rubbed her eyes numerous times and fought against the sleepiness.
But she seemed to lose the fight.
After a while, Nazuna’s eyes closed and she emitted sleeping sounds.
There I lightly shook Nazuna’s shoulders and called out to her.
“Nazuna, if you’re sleeping, sleep in your bed.”
“Or alternatively you sleep in the G.o.ddess’ arms.”
“…Yeah, thanks, El-chan.”
Taking Elni’s words seriously, Nazuna clung onto the self-proclaimed G.o.ddess with sleepy eyes. Then she peacefully fell asleep in Elni’s arms like that.
“…Elni, carry Nazuna to her bed like that.”
“I can’t do that. That surpa.s.ses the strength of the G.o.ddess.”
Elni said a line like Sh*nron and tried hard to life up Nazuna, but sadly failed to. Buried under Nazuna, she pedalled her arms and legs.
“Not a human chair, but a G.o.ddess chair! No, a G.o.ddess bed! At this rate the G.o.d-slayer Nazucat wiiiill….!”
Shouting that, Elni looked at me for help.
I had no other choice but to pull away Nazuna from Elni.
Upon that Nazuna leaked a “meow, meow” as a protest in her sleep, but I ignored it and carried her to her room. There I lay her onto the bed and petted her head.
“Sweet dreams.”
“Yeah~ Dreams you have when you’re awake~ Wake up and dream~.”
My cool words were answered by Nazuna’s weird sleep talking.
What kind of dream was she having….
For a while I watched Nazuna’s sleeping face with a wry smile, then I decided to go back to the living room.
However, midway I suddenly heard a scream from the living room.
“…What?”
Curiously, I swiftly headed to the living room, when
“S- Someone, help! Sister is weird!”
“I am not weird. It is your fault for being so cute, Machina.”
My gaze fell on Luna, who pushed down Machina with a sweet voice. I was at a loss for words at this totally unexpected situation, when Luna rubbed her cheek against Machina’s and then placed a kiss on both of her cheeks and forehead. Followed by a storm of kisses on both ears, the neck and collarbone.
…What was up with Luna?
She clearly was behaving strange. I approached Hijiri and Elni as to ask them about the matter of things.
For some reason, Kaorun lay face down on the table, sleeping. But for now I left her alone and called out to the other two.
“Hey, what happened here?”
“…Ehm, when we were at the department store, Tomoe-san made us buy juice, but on a closer look, it turned out to be alcohol. I only noticed that minutes earlier.”
Saying that, Elni held out a can with a melon on it to me.
I took it and looked at it, when I read the letters “Chuuhai” on the can.
“…Basically, Luna is drunk?”
“Yeah, Luna-san and Kaoru-san drank it without realizing it was alcohol. So Kaoru-san fell asleep immediately, but Luna-san… turned into that.”
Following Hijiri’s gaze, there was Luna, still kissing Machina.
…I had heard that usually suppressed emotion surfaced when one was drunk, but Luna sure loved physical contact.
As such I had totally become an onlooker, when Hijiri went to interfere, as she couldn’t watch anymore.
“Uhm, Luna-san, don’t you think you should stop at this point?”
“Why? I am just, in love with Machina.”
Adorable frowning, Luna made a pouting face.
…Not good. That was frigging cute.
Hijiri probably thought the same as me, as she smile and leaked a “So cute”. She softly patted Luna’s head.
Upon that Luna smiled happily…and clung onto Hijiri.
Machina took that chance to stand up and get away from Luna. Seeing that, Elni also followed Machina’s example and took her distance to Luna.
On the other hand, Hijiri, clung to by Luna, smiled in utter bliss, but when Luna started to kiss her on the cheeks like with Machina, Hijri hastily bended backwards.
“L- Luna-san, you can’t. Please stop.”
“…You are cute too, Gogyou-san.”
“She’s not listening!? —wait, Hyan… Mm… Not there…Yah…”
When Luna sucked on Hijiri’s ear with her pink lips,
“Hah, Afuh, Hah, Hah….Mm….!”
Hijiri’s body trembled in shivers and watered her eyes. Then she relaxed and entrusted her body to Luna. Upon that Luna smiled playful, got behind Hijiri and continued to suck on her ear. Furthermore, she got a firm hold on Hijiri’s b.r.e.a.s.t.s from behind.
“Mm… No… Not my b.r.e.a.s.t.s…”
Hijiri said begging, but Luna showed a bewitching smile that send a shiver down your spine and answered.
“Ufufu. I will not stop. Please feel all good.”
Along with her words, Luna strongly fondled the big b.r.e.a.s.t.s.
“Ahhn…Afuh…Not so… strong…”
“Why not? It feels better like this, right?”
“That’s not…Hahn… true… Nhaahn….!”
“Gogyou-san, you do not need to hold back. Actually, you are already about to—-, are you not?”
Luna whispered something into Hijiri’s ear quietly.
Upon these words, Hijiri turned bright red up to her ears in shame and shouted with tears in her eyes.
“N- No more! Help me, Shin.o.bu-kun!”
I was a bit surprised at the sudden call for help…I clenched my fists and bit my lips.
“d.a.m.n! Can I only stand here and watch?”
“D- Don’t abandon me, Shin.o.bu-kun! Actually, I’m done for! It’s so embarra.s.sing!”
Hijiri leaked a surprisingly cornered voice, so I stopped playing around and called out softly to Luna.
“Luna, Hijiri seems against it, so could you let her go already?”
“Do not want to. I am not letting go.”
“….Nothing I can do then.”
Being turned down by Luna with a smile, I readily stepped back.
Instantly, Hijiri said with a face close to tears.
“Sh- Shin.o.bu-kun, do you not care what happens to me…?”
“No, of course not! It was a joke! I apologize, so don’t make such a face!”
Seemed my playing around went a bit too far.
Hijiri really looked like she was going to cry, so I hastily went to stop Luna.
I quickly got behind Luna and s.n.a.t.c.hed her away from Hijiri with a cat grip. After that I gently petted Hijiri’s head as an apology.
There Luna watched over Hijiri and me, then angrily raised her voice.
“Shin.o.bu-san! We have to talk!”
“Y- Yes! What do you want?”
Inadvertently I asked with formal speech, when Luna sat down on the spot and lightly clapped onto her thighs.
“Shin.o.bu-san, please sit down here!”
“…Eh? Why your thighs? Isn’t it usually a formal sitting for a lecture?”
“Just sit down here, please!”
Luna said pouting.
That was kind of cute, but sitting down on her thighs was rather embarra.s.sing, so I sat down on a cushion.
As a result, Luna scowled lightly.
“Geez! You are so mean, Shin.o.bu-san!”
“…S- Sorry.”
I had no clue what she was angry for, but for now I bowed my head.
Upon that, Luna asked angrily while patting my head.
“Shin.o.bu-san! Do you understand why I did such things to Machina and Gogyou-san!?”
“…Ehm, isn’t it because you’re drunk?”
“Not at all!”
Luna continued while tousling my head.
“Because you are not paying attention to me! Please play with me more!”
Saying that, Luna playful clung onto me.
In that moment, soft melon-like b.o.o.bs pressed onto my body.
But I had no time to become intoxicated by the flexibility of her huge b.r.e.a.s.t.s.
“Mm… *kiss*…”
Luna kissed my ear and furthermore used her tongue to lick my ear.
Her hot breath tickled the inside of my ear while her warm tongue and gentle licking tortured me in various meanings.
“H- Hey, stop it.”
“Ehh. What is the problem? I, love ears. I always wanted to touch your ears, Shin.o.bu-san.”
“I, I’ll let you touch them next time all you want, so stop licking.”
“…*nom*”
“No, that doesn’t mean that you can bite on it!”
To be honest, the play-biting with my ear pinched between her soft lips made my spine shiver in pleasure. However, things would go bad at this rate. I hastily stopped Luna, but
“There, there.”
Luna didn’t give up and this time gently pulled on my earlap.
“…Uhm, pulling too is kinda…”
“Mh, then what am I supposed to do?”
“Please leave me alone.”
“…You are so cold, Shin.o.bu-san.”
“Th- That’s not really true. Certainly, I’m cool, but inside I’m hot, is what Nazuna said.”
“Then please also drink, Shin.o.bu-san.”
Luna held out the Chuuhai can with a jerk.
There I blushed and played around to fool her.
“Oh my, what are you going to do by getting me drunk?”
“I am going to kiss you a lot.”
“For real!? That simplifies things. Cheers—wait, I can’t! I’m still a minor!”
Unconsciously I reached out my hand for the can, but soon enough I pulled it back.
Upon that, Luna puffed her cheeks with a “Muh~”, then suddenly put the can back on the table and grinned.
…What was with this devilish smile?
I became a bit worried, when Luna put her right hand around my neck. Following, Luna grabbed the can on the table with her left hand and drunk it. Then she brought her face closer to mine.
“…Eh? You couldn’t be—Mmg!?”
Without time to stop her, Luna covered my lips.
Her soft lips overlapped with mine and the juice flowed into my mouth just like that.
—At that moment, my thoughts came to a complete stop.
My cheeks became burning hot. My head was dizzy and my body felt fluffy. Nevertheless, I felt an indescribable euphoria in my chest.
…Don’t tell me, I got drunk on the juice?
I suspended my thoughts and was in a daze for a short moment.
“Meow, meow.”
Luna said what Nazuna would say and licked my whole lips like a cat would do.
“Your lips are so soft, Shin.o.bu-san.”
The tip of her tongue pecked at my lips.
…This wasn’t good. I had to do something before my reasoning gave in…!
“H- Hey, someone stop Luna! Otherwise this will be bad in various ways!”
I immediately sought help from everyone.
However, no one responded to my shout.
When I shifted my gaze to everyone, Hijiri, Machina, Elni, all of them had retreated to a corner of the living room and showed no signs to move from there. The at these times reliable perverted maid Kaorun also was sleeping face-down on the table.
My only option was to escape.
So I thought, but Luna looped both her arms around my neck and sealed my movements. After that Luna did nothing, but stare at me intensively.
Her beautiful features. Her clear emerald green eyes that sucked you in. Her glamorous well-shaped pink lips. These were all so close that my heartbeat raised.
Amidst that, Luna brought her face even closer and said with a sweet voice.
“You are so handsome, Shin.o.bu-san….”
“I know!”
Despite the situation, I cracked a joke, but Luna didn’t seem to have heard it and continued to stare at me.
“You are cute, kind and told me, a devil, to stay by your side. So I…”
Stopping her words for a moment, a smile bloomed on Luna’s face.
“I love you very much, Shin.o.bu-san.”
Along with her words, she stole my lips once more.
My lips were covered by her soft lips and she slowly shoved her tongue into my mouth. Luna’s hot tongue entwined with mine and her hot breath shook my heart.
While my reasoning crumbled away, Luna pushed in her tongue even further and opened my mouth wide with her hot tongue. There her tongue ran rampage in my mouth.
That action was too stimulation as to put into words. When her tongue licked the gingival, a shiver ran down my spine.
And after Luna finished her intense kiss, she slowly got away from me.
In that moment, a thread of saliva was drawn and dripped down on Luna’s b.r.e.a.s.t.s.
Luna’s cheeks were flushed and her eyes wet. She once again clung to me spoiled. Her hug now was stronger than before and throughout wrested my reasoning.

When my neck was kissed afterwards, I lost my senses and grabbed Luna at both her shoulders.
There was no longer a shred of reasoning within me. With the intent to go for everything, my eyes faced Luna’s lips—when at that time.
“Hmm….”
Suddenly, Luna drooped her head, like with a doll whose switch had been turned off, and inclining her body, she fell into my arms just like that.
Then she shut her eyes and peacefully fell asleep.
There I regained my senses and was gravely ashamed of myself.
To lay my hands on a drunk girl, just what was I thinking….!
I was sure everyone else was struck dumb too— No, they even might look at me with scornful eyes.
Filled with worries, I timidly turned around, when the living room was empty, except for the still on the table sleeping Kaorun.
…Could it be, they ran away and left me behind?
When I realized such, I made a sigh of relief.
Though I ultimately might have been saved by that, I had a somehow complicated feeling.
…Well, for now I should carry Luna to her room.
With that thought, I held Luna and leaving the living room, I walked down the hallway, when I saw Hijiri, Elni and Machina sneakily talking in front of the stairs.
“..Ehm, was it really okay to leave Shin.o.bu-kun behind?”
“I’m certainly a bit worried. Machina, go check upon Shin.o.bu.”
“Yes, okay—wait, why me! You go, Elni!”
“…I’m kinda scared, so no. You won’t know what Luna will do to you in her current state when she catches you.”
On a rare occasion Elni behaved timid while Machina said to her wearily.
“You always call yourself a G.o.ddess, but at the crucial time you’re of no use.”
“C- Calling me useless is rude! As a G.o.ddess I can’t silent after you say all that. State your request, Machina! Whatever request it’ll be, I’ll at least listen to it!”
“There’s no point if you only listen to it! Hurry up and go check on Shin.o.bu!”
“…Ehm, why don’t we go together?”
Elni, the coward.
I made a wry smile and called out to the three of them while approaching.
“Hey, I just brought the Luna in question.”
Instantly, all three trembled their shoulders in a shiver and ran away all at once.
However, while running down the hallway in panic, Elni, who was the rearguard, stumbled and was about to fall.
There Elni clingingly reached out her hand for Machina, who was running in front of her, as not to fall.
But her hand mistook her target and grabbed Machina’s skirt. While pulling down the skirt, Elni fell down.
In that moment, Machina’s soft bottom clad in white panties showed up
“Kyaa!”
and Machina, her legs caught in her pulled down skirt, was also about to fall down, when she reached out her hand towards the vanguard running Hijiri.
However, just like Elni’s hand, it grabbed the skirt and while pulling down Hijiri’s skirt, Machina fell down.
As a result, Hijiri’s legs were also caught in the skirt and with her pink panties exposed, Hijiri fell down.
…By the way, the skirt of the first fallen victim Elni was flipped up and gave view to light blue panties.
“…Impressive teamwork.”
I mumbled while looking down on the three, then I left the place with the words “I’ll also carry Kaorun to her room after this, so you guys stop playing around and go to sleep too”.
Right after, I heard Machina and Elni quarrelling while Hijiri tried to calm them, but I paid it no mind and carried Luna to her room.
Then I returned to the living room and approached the even now sleeping Kaorun.
“Uhn~ Nanjou-sama….No tentacles…”
Kaorun made some weird sleep-talking.
“…Nanjou-sama…. Both the Miss and Miss Cow-woman dislike it… Please stop the tentacle play already…”
“What kind of dream are you having.”
I retorted lightly, when Kaorun suddenly opened her eyes. Then she faced me, touched over both arms while half-asleep and then tilted her heads.
“Nanjou-sama, what happened to your tentacles?”
“There’s no way I have such things.”
When I replied wearily, Kaorun mumbled “…It was a dream, huh” somewhat regretful.
“…Just for reference, what kind of dream were you having?”
“I had a dream where you had tentacles, Nanjou-sama.”
“What a messed up dream. Why tentacles of all things? Did I get cursed?”
“No, there was no such thing, Nanjou-sama. Just like in Kafka’s ‘Metamorphosis’, where the protagonist one day wakes up as a bug, you also woke up one day with tentacles, Nanjou-sama.”
“Quite the crazy setting.”
“Crazy, you say?”
For some reason, Kaorun made a surprised expression.
“In my dream, you were quite pleased about having tentacles, Nanjou-sama. With a loud voice, you shouted ‘I’ll become the tentacle king!’ and attacked the Miss and Miss Cow-woman.”
“That’s not me.”
“What are you speaking of? Ignoring my pleads to stop, you tied your tentacles around the Miss and Miss Cow-woman’s voluminous b.r.e.a.s.t.s and firm thighs. And at the very end, you shoved the tentacles into their mouths, you know? Then you watched over the blushing two and fell into a hazy laughter.”
“That was a nightmare.”
“You do not have to force yourself, Nanjou-sama. Truth be told, you were imagining my dream and getting excited, were you not?”
“Don’t be stupid. C’mon, get back to your room and sleep already.”
“Do not want to. I will sleep right here, so please do not mind me.”
Saying that, Kaorun once again rested her cheek on the table.
“Hey, don’t sleep here. Your exhaustion won’t get away if you don’t sleep in your bed.”
“I am not exhausted, so I am fine. Also, you do not need to worry about me catching a cold either. Please leave me alone.”
“I can’t do that. If you don’t listen to me, I’ll forcefully get you into your bed.”
“…Forcing me into my bed, Nanjou-sama, you pervert.”
“No, I didn’t mean it like that. C’mon, don’t say weird stuff and get to your room.”
Saying so, I pulled onto Kaorun’s arm, but Kaorun resisted by clinging to the table.
“…Why are you so against it?”
I asked doubtful, when Kaorun answered with a quiet voice.
“Because I ended up in the same room as Machina-sama.”
Ah, right. Because Machina had scored the lowest in the cleaning battle, she had to sleep in the same room as Kaorun as a penalty.
Kaorun was against that?
When I pondered about that, Kaorun said while looking down.
“I will end up saying mean things again, when I share a room with Machina-sama. Therefore, I will stay here.”
“So you say, but Machina is kind, so she’ll be worried and come for you.”
“…Are you sure? I always say mean things to Machina-sama. Worrying about me despite that would be strange.”
“That’s not true. Even during the cleaning Machina was concerned about you. Why don’t you use this opportunity to get friendlier?”
I advised so, but Kaorun showed hesitation.
“…Kaorun, if you don’t agree quickly, I’ll carry you to your room like a princess.”
“Please just try it if you think you can do.”
“Okay, I won’t hold back.”
“…Eh? Nanjou-sama?”
She probably had thought I was joking. Like I said, I carried her like a princess, when Kaorun showed a surprised expression.
“N- Nanjou-sama, this is rather embarra.s.sing, so please let me down.”
“Don’t worry. You’re heavier than I imagined, so I won’t hold out for long.”
The moment I said that, I received a chop on my head.
“Ow. It was just a little joke, so don’t hit me.”
“Even as a joke, it is rude to call a woman heavy.”
“Sorry, sorry. You’re not heavy, Kaorun. Around 46kg I guess?”
I asked in a casual tone, when I received another chop to my head.
“Nanjou-sama, it is bad manners to ask a woman for her weight.”
“Excuse me for that. But if you’re going to caution me about that, use words and not your fist.”
“I am at an age where I want to express myself with my body instead of words.”
“That’s yet another unpleasant age…”
I replied while shrugging my shoulders. Still carrying Kaorun, I left the living room and walked down the hallway. There Kaorun blushed and jerkily pulled on my clothes.
“Ehm, Nanjou-sama, I will properly return to my room, so I would like you to put me down already…”
“Mh? Could it be you’re bashful?”
The moment I said so teasingly, my head tasted a third chop.
“…Wait a sec. Why did I have to get hit now?”
“A reflex— I mean, it is my way of showing affection.”
“Oh, you’re a S?”
“No, I am neither a S, nor a M.”
For a moment she stopped her words, then Kaorun said with a loud voice.
“I am a H!”
“…I’m not sure how to react to that answer.”
Well, talking like that, we arrived in front of the room, so I let Kaorun down and turned my back to her.
“Okay, get along well with Machina.”
“Yes, I will try my best.”
“Good, do that. Good night.”
“A pleasant night, Nanjou-sama….with a pleasant tentacle dream.”
Leaving ridiculous words behind, Kaorun went into the room….

After parting with Kaorun, I also headed for my room and when I opened the door, there was Hijiri wearing a yukata.
For some reason, Hijiri was sitting formally on the ground and had her head lowered. Upon noticing me, she raised her head and said shyly.
“I, I might be inexperienced, but I’ll do my best to be of your service. Th- Therefore… Take good care of me.”
…Oh right, I was sharing a room with Hijiri.
I had completely forgotten about it, so I was quite disturbed.
…It might be too late for it, but wasn’t sleeping in the same room bad? Technically there were two beds, but if she seduced me like before it would be dangerous.
I had no confidence in my endurance on various fronts, so I, while feeling bad for Hijiri, pa.s.sed by her and crawled into my bed.
“H- He ignored me again!”
“…You also go to sleep quickly, Hijiri.”
I replied nonchalant to Hijiri, who had raised a sad voice.
Upon that, Hijiri mumbled “….It isn’t effective at all, Kaoru-san”, then approached me and sat down on the bed. She then looked at me peering. On that occasion, Hijiri’s voluminous b.r.e.a.s.t.s bounced and allowed a sneak peek into her deep cleavage.
Not noticing that, Hijiri brought her face closer and said pleading.
“Shin.o.bu-kun, would you keep me company for just a little bit?”
“…*snore, snore*”
“I was rejected!”
She leaked a crying voice and downhearted headed for her own bed. But after a while she recovered and called out to me from her bed.
“Uhm, Shin.o.bu-kun…”
“Shin.o.bu-kun is currently in a deep slumber. If you have any business, wait for the ‘beep’ tone and then state your three sizes.”
As to show that I had no interest in a conversation, I made a “Beep” tone, when Hijiri asked timidly.
“Ehm, you want to know my three sizes?”
…Huh? Not only didn’t she give up, but she played along?
Regardless of my surprised self, Hijiri blushed and said.
“…It’s embarra.s.sing, but if that’s what you want, I’ll tell you. From the top, 89, 58—”
“*snore, snore! Snooo~re!”
When I interrupted her with snoring sounds, Hijiri giggled quietly.
“You’re really shy, Shin.o.bu-kun.”
“Call it reserved.”
I replied discouraged, but Hijiri mumbled delighted.
“Your blushing face is cute…”
“Don’t fall for me.”
I replied suited, then I turned around and closed my eyes.
There Hijiri suddenly said softly.
“Thanks, Shin.o.bu-kun.”
“…Mh? Why so suddenly?”
I turned around on the sudden grat.i.tude, when Hijiri showed a smile with “For Kaoru-san”.
“After becoming friends with you, Kaoru-san shows a lot more expressions now. She often smiles and seems to enjoy every day. I’m happy about that. So, thank you, Shin.o.bu-kun.”
Hijiri continued with a gentle voice.
“Please treat Kaoru-san nicely from now on too.”
“…Yeah, of course.”
I replied with a firm nod.
Upon that, Hijiri blushed lightly and said adding.
“Also, uhm… please treat me nicer too.”
“Y- Yeah, okay. Then let’s play together tomorrow.”
“Yeah, let’s. It’s a promise.”
“There is no need for promises between us.”
Hijiri reminded while I once more turned around and answered half-hearted.
“…Uhm, I’m not sure I understand that, Shin.o.bu-kun.”
“It means to trust me.”
“I see. Okay. I trust you.”
…I had said it randomly, yet Hijiri readily put her trust in me.
Then we decided to go to sleep in preparation for tomorrow, but when Hijiri turned off the lights, I heard a noise from outside the room and Machina came plunging into the room.
“What’s up, Machina?”
“A whole lot is up!”
When I straightened up my upper body and asked, Machina came over to my bed and said with teary eyes.
“Shin.o.bu, that maid keeps telling scary stories. I don’t want to return to that room.”
“…What’s she doing…”
I mumbled wearily, when following after Machina, Kaorun entered the room.
Kaorun made a sorry expression and bowed down deeply when she met my eyes.
“I apologize for the trouble. The conversation with Machina-sama was at a dead-end, so I just…”
“Just, my a.s.s! I’ll sleep here, so you hurry back to your own room!”
“Machina-sama, you cannot interrupt the Miss and Nanjou-sama’s sweet time alone. I promise not to tell any more scary stories, so let us return.”
“Like I could trust your words! I’m never going back there!”
“…Uhm, all things considered, you did lost the cleaning battle, Machina-sama, so please obey my words.”
“No! Besides, I never obey anyone!”
Machina answered Kaorun, who was trying to calm things down, and faced sideways.
….Still, never obey anyone, huh.
To try it, I held out my palm towards Machina.
“Mh? What’s up, Shin.o.bu?”
“Machina, your hand.”
“Yes.”
Machina obediently rested her hand on my palm.
“The other.”
“Yes.”
“High Five.”
“Yay~”
“b.o.o.bs Five.”
“Be gentle—wait, what are you making me do!”
Machina had presented her voluminous b.r.e.a.s.t.s, but then hastily covered them with both her arms. Then I shifted my gaze back to Kaorun and said.
“Kaorun, as you can see, Machina never obeys anyone. Sorry, but you have to give up.”
“Well, she only looked like an actor to me.”
“So cute, Machina-san.”
When Kaorun and Hijiri said so, Machina turned red and crawled into my bed.
…Well, normally I would chase her out, but Machina was really bad with scary stories. She probably came to me, since she was too scared to sleep alone.
As it couldn’t be helped, I should grant her the exception of sleeping together today.
So I thought, but as Machina was really scared, she strongly clung onto me once I got under the blanket.
The sensation of her soft body, her sweet fragrance and her body warmth accelerated my heartbeat.
“Ehm, Machina, it’s a bit hot like this?”
“Then lower the air conditioning. Or take off the blanket.”
Apparently for Machina there wasn’t the option of getting away from me.
However, I wouldn’t be able to sleep out of nervousness at this rate. How could I get away from Machina? Pondering like that, I suddenly felt a gaze on me.
Curiously I faced it, when I saw Hijiri lightly puffing her cheeks.
“…Shin.o.bu-kun, you’re kinda lovestruck.”
“N- None of your concern.”
Since she hit bull’s-eye, I ended up refusing her bluntly on reflex.
Upon that, Hijiri dropped her shoulders dejected, turned her back to me and rested her cheek on her pillow.
Somehow, I felt rather guilty.
Kaorun couldn’t stand to watch it either and softly called out to Hijiri.
“Miss, please cheer up. And you can say a piece of complain to Nanjou-sama.”
“…It’s fine. I don’t want to be hated by Shin.o.bu-kun for saying strange things.”
Not good. For a moment the impulse of wanting to embrace Hijiri and pet her head ran through my head.
Kaorun probably felt the same as me, as she got into the bed and comfortingly started to pet Hijiri’s head…Like that, she stayed on the bed.
Apparently, K
