Tsuki Tsuki Vol 5 Chapter 2

Chapter 02: Reason for Jealousy

We arrived at gramps’ holiday house in the cars.

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 anticipated, since it hadn’t been used in a long time.

Determined, we gathered in the living room and thought about the splitting up the work amongst us, when Kaorun clapped her hands.

“Guys, let’s decide with rock, paper, scissor.”

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.

“….Farewell to my life, what do you think you’re doing?”

Why was she showing a sexy smile now?

Kaorun paid no mind to my worries and continued while happily pinching my cheek.

Kaorun forcefully enforced her own opinion like always, but the girl’s reaction was unexpectedly indifferent.

“Brother, Miss Maid, let’s be serious here.”

Moreover, Luna and Hijiri were showing a wry smile. No one seemed to care.

“…Your plan failed.”

Upon that, Kaorun strongly clung to me with her arm still around my neck for no apparent reason. Her overly elastic breasts 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.

Instantly, Hijiri and Luna shouted hastily.

“Yeah! Please stop it! I will listen to whatever you say…!”

“Good, then you all will participate in a game.”

For some reason, Elni said threatening, when Kaorun continued with “Truly a Death Game”.

Inadvertently, I grimaced and interjected.

“Do not worry, Nanjou-sama. While I call it a game, it will be settled through cleaning.”

“Yes. So please rest assured.”

“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.”

I asked curiously, when Kaorun once again smiled suspicious and answered.

“Certainly a Death Game…”

“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.”

I immediately appealed the game to be cancelled. However,

“You are right. We better finish the cleaning quickly.”

“I want to be in the same room as Shinobu-kun…So I’ll work hard.”

“So audacious, Goyou-san! It is not fair for you to hog it all by yourself!”

“I, I’m not a sullen lecher! Besides, I’m Shinobu-kun’s fiancée, so there should be no problem with us sharing a room!”

“My Sister is right! You just want to seduce Shinobu again! I won’t let you do so!”

“Now then, we have discussed the details—So let the game start!”

It was impossible to stop them now…

“…By the way, what happens if I win the game?”

“That’s some horrible treatment, really now…”

“So, you guys are not participating?”

“I see. And you, Elni?”

“…Well, even with your stomach stuffed, it wouldn’t change anything.”

Elni admitted with a smile.

“Elni-sama, Nazuna-sama, I will prepare dinner now, so would you mind helping me out?”

Nazuna gave back a salute, when Elni mimicked her and also saluted with a “Meow!”.

I followed the three of them and while cleaning the kitchen together, I called out to Kaorun.

“Yes, it is too troublesom—*cough*.”

“There is no point in my participating in the game, since the person with the lowest score will end up sharing a room with me.”

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.

“Nanjou-sama, no men in the kitchen. To be frank, you are in the way, so please watch some TV in the living room.”

I turned around and puffed my chest, when Kaorun showed a weary expression.

“…Kaorun, certainly I might not be any helpful, but, my motivation doesn’t lose to anyone. Accept my passion.”

“….Our conversation is so cold.”

“Wait, wait. I’ll be serious, so let me help. I’m free anyway.”

“Ah, El-chan, what are you doing. Don’t just eat it by yourself.”

“Nazucat, this is really good! Do you want to sample it too?”

When Nazuna shifted her gaze to the slice of tuna that fell on the chopping board, Elni said covering up.

“Geez, don’t fool around so much. Sit down, El-chan!”

Seeing that, Kaorun shifted her gaze back to me and said with a sigh.

“…Yes, sorry that our idiot causes you trouble.”

That person— Hijiri wore the same maid clothes as Kaorun for some reason and was cleaning with a serious expression.

When I called out to her, Hijiri stopped her hands and came closer with a smile.

“Haha, as if.”

“…You say hurtful things so easily.”

“I, I see. Makes me kind of happy…”

Not minding my surprise, Hijiri showed a smile and said.

“—That aside, why the maid clothes?”

“I borrowed them from Kaoru-san. I thought it would be appropriate to wear while cleaning…”

I made an agreeable response and once more looked at Hijiri.

A black long skirt and a snow-white apron. Even wearing a maid hairbow, she was really charming.

“H- How does it look, Master? Is it weird?”

“I called you Master.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Master.”

“I kind of, want someone like that at home.”

I got the feeling that it would make me really happy. Just by imagining it made me form a smile.

“Hijiri, I appreciate the thought, but we have Luna already, so it’s alright.”

“I lost to Luna-san!?”

I made a hasty follow up to the shocked Hijiri, when she brought her face closer and said.

“No thanks.”

“Why? Even if I should find a perverted book in your room, well, I won’t throw it away, you know?”

“…I see. Too bad.”

“…Mh, I feel bad for turning everything down, so I’ll clean your room instead.”

Hijiri rejected my suggestion with a red face.

“It’s okay, Hijiri. Even if I should find a perverted book in your room, I won’t steal it like Asada.”

“…By these books, you mean you also have perverted books?”

“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!”

“No! There just wasn’t the right timing to return them!”

As might be expected, I teased her a bit too much.

“Hijiri, it was a joke, so you don’t need to get that flustered.”

“Now then, I should be going as I’m only interrupted your cleaning. Give it your all.”

Hearing Hijiri’s reply from behind, I left the living room and trotted around the house, when this time I met Machina.

Also, Machina’s maid clothes were the one she wore at the cooking contest before and was boldly open around the chest.

—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 breasts.

Upon that, Machina stood up and came over with a faint smile. Then she puffed up her voluminous chest and said confident.

Machina made a face that she wanted to be praised.

“Well done. Good girl.”

Machina said angrily, but she didn’t shake off my hand and let it pat her. What was kind of cute.

“G- Geez, don’t play with my hair…”

“Ohh. Your hair is silky and your cheeks are soft.”

“…The cheeks are no good either, huh. No other choice then. I’ll make do with your breasts.”

Covering her breasts with both her arms, Machina hastily got away from me.

I wanted to apologize right away, but Machina said quietly while still looking down.

For real? What brought about this change of heart? Why was Machina so kind?

“Fufu, guess you saw through it—wait, no! It’s not really a trap, so if you want to touch them, go ahead…”

“Yes. But in exchange, be really kind to me afterwards, okay? I want you to pat my head a lot like Nazuna, and…”

“…Seems too much trouble, so I’ll pass.”

Instantly, Machina became teary-eyed and strongly stretched both my cheek.

“Like I care, stupid Shinobu! Besides, what you mean too much trouble! It wouldn’t kill you to be a bit nicer to me!”

“Don’t say that! It’ll only hurt me!”

…I got a bad feeling.

Needless to say, the content of the bucket spilled out and floated the hallway.

“What are you doing! I finally got it all clean. Now it’s ruined!”

While apologizing, Kaorun took out a pocket tissue and spread it over the floor.

When Machina shouted discontent, Kaorun smiled boldly and replied.

“Damn! I certainly let down my guar—wait, that’s cowardly! Besides, why are you, who isn’t participating in the game, interfering?”

“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!”

“Demanding for others to call you with ‘sama’, who do you think you are?”

As she didn’t have anything to say back, Machina bit onto her lips frustrated and pulled on my sleeve for help.

“Machina, don’t let Kaorun’s words get to you. I’ll help you clean up, so let’s hurry up.”

“….Nanjou-sama, you are taking Machina-sama’s side?”

“Of course! After all he said that he would protect me! I take a bigger place in Shinobu’s heart than you ever will! I’m different from you!”

However, it was only momentarily and soon enough Kaorun returned to her usual inexpressiveness.

“…Certainly, I am different from you. I do not behave spoiled as you do.”

“You are not aware of it yourself? I knew it, spoiled people think different.”

“I don’t really get it, but is it bad to behave spoiled? I’m sure even you act spoiled towards someone.”

“A tool? What are you saying? You’re a normal human.”

Kaorun slowly shook her head.

Upon these words, Machina widened her eyes in surprise…Bewildered she opened her mouth.

“I was abandoned by said parents.”

“How can I act spoiled towards parents that abandoned me?”

We merely dropped our gaze and just kept our mouths shut in silence.

“My apologies for speaking of such weird matters. Everything just now was a lie. Please forget about it.”

“Hey, Kaorun.”

Even when I called out to her, Kaorun didn’t turn around and left.

Amongst that, Machina said isolate.

“Kaorun resembles Luna?”

“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.”

“That she actually wanted to act spoiled to someone.”

“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.”

“…Shinobu, that maid might want to act spoiled, but can’t, just like my sister. So pay some attention to her.”

Nodding, I reached out my hand for Machina’s head.

“Well, I was just thinking how kind you are.”

I had no intention to tease her, but I was chased away by the blushing Machina.

About the reason why Kaorun didn’t act spoiled in front of Hijiri.

…I didn’t understand Kaorun’s feelings.

Conclusive, Hijiri won the cleaning battle.

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.

In other words, tonight I was going to sleep in the same room as Hijiri.

Still, Hijiri had claimed “I’ll work hard and win…and properly seduce you tonight. “, but what exactly was she going to do?

For dinner there was a wide array of side-dishes as hamburger steak, fried stuff, fried potato and salad. It was a feast.

When I was astonished, Elni naturally snatched a fried stuff from my plate.

“Because I’m a Goddess.”

First of all, I flicked Elni’s forehead and tried to snatch a side-dish of hers as payback. However, but Elni already had eaten all of hers and only left the vegetables.

“Elni-chan, I’ll give you some of my side-dishes.”

Luna nodded to Elni, who had sparkles in her eyes, with a smile and continued with a “but”.

“Tomatoes, red, hate.”

“Ehm, you probably have to eat them.”

“Here, Ah~”

“Yay~ Ah~”

But soon enough she turned teary.

She said angrily.

“Fufu, I’ll take that as a compliment.”

“How brass can you get? Actually, You aren’t a kid, so properly eat your tomatoes.”

“But, you’re leaving behind your carrots too, Shinobu.”

“Eh? Me? Well, I don’t mind…”

“…Ehm, what are you doing?”

“Y- You didn the ‘Ah~’ with Elni, so do so for me too.”

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.

“Because there were carrots.”

Upon that, Elni and Nazuna said admiring.

“That was a bit 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.”

“You do have a point there. Then I will present Nanjou-sama my own carrots instead. Nanjou-sama, Ah~”

I mimicked Elni and rejected with broken speech.

“Then I have no other choice, but to make it easier for Nanjou-sama by feeding him mouth-to-mouth.”

I retorted wearily, when Elni clapped her hands.

No, that was rather hard too. To begin with, Luna wouldn’t agree to something like that.

“Uhm, Shinobu-san… go ahead.”

What to do…

“Nanjou-sama seems to be troubled, so I will take it upon myself to eat these carrots.”

“Hyan! K- Kaoru-san, that is not the right one! Please do not grab any weird places!”

She sexual harassed Luna with all her might.

“Yeah! What are you doing to Sister!”

How could Kaorun say that so openly.

“Shinobu-kun, if you want, I can eat your carrots.”

“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.

After a while, Nazuna’s eyes closed and she emitted sleeping sounds.

“Nazuna, if you’re sleeping, sleep in your bed.”

“…Yeah, thanks, El-chan.”

“…Elni, carry Nazuna to her bed like that.”

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.

Shouting that, Elni looked at me for help.

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.

“Yeah~ Dreams you have when you’re awake~ Wake up and dream~.”

What kind of dream was she having….

However, midway I suddenly heard a scream from the living room.

Curiously, I swiftly headed to the living room, when

“I am not weird. It is your fault for being so cute, Machina.”

…What was up with Luna?

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.

“…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.”

I took it and looked at it, when I read the letters “Chuuhai” on the can.

“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.”

…I had heard that usually suppressed emotion surfaced when one was drunk, but Luna sure loved physical contact.

“Uhm, Luna-san, don’t you think you should stop at this point?”

Adorable frowning, Luna made a pouting face.

Hijiri probably thought the same as me, as she smile and leaked a “So cute”. She softly patted Luna’s head.

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.

“L- Luna-san, you can’t. Please stop.”

“She’s not listening!? —wait, Hyan… Mm… Not there…Yah…”

“Hah, Afuh, Hah, Hah….Mm….!”

“Mm… No… Not my breasts…”

“Ufufu. I will not stop. Please feel all good.”

“Ahhn…Afuh…Not so… strong…”

“That’s not…Hahn… true… Nhaahn….!”

Luna whispered something into Hijiri’s ear quietly.

“N- No more! Help me, Shinobu-kun!”

“Damn! Can I only stand here and watch?”

Hijiri leaked a surprisingly cornered voice, so I stopped playing around and called out softly to Luna.

“Do not want to. I am not letting go.”

Being turned down by Luna with a smile, I readily stepped back.

“Sh- Shinobu-kun, do you not care what happens to me…?”

Seemed my playing around went a bit too far.

I quickly got behind Luna and snatched her away from Hijiri with a cat grip. After that I gently petted Hijiri’s head as an apology.

“Shinobu-san! We have to talk!”

Inadvertently I asked with formal speech, when Luna sat down on the spot and lightly clapped onto her thighs.

“…Eh? Why your thighs? Isn’t it usually a formal sitting for a lecture?”

Luna said pouting.

As a result, Luna scowled lightly.

“…S- Sorry.”

Upon that, Luna asked angrily while patting my head.

“…Ehm, isn’t it because you’re drunk?”

Luna continued while tousling my head.

Saying that, Luna playful clung onto me.

But I had no time to become intoxicated by the flexibility of her huge breasts.

Luna kissed my ear and furthermore used her tongue to lick my ear.

“H- Hey, stop it.”

“I, I’ll let you touch them next time all you want, so stop licking.”

“No, that doesn’t mean that you can bite on it!”

“There, there.”

“…Uhm, pulling too is kinda…”

“Please leave me alone.”

“Th- That’s not really true. Certainly, I’m cool, but inside I’m hot, is what Nazuna said.”

Luna held out the Chuuhai can with a jerk.

“Oh my, what are you going to do by getting me drunk?”

“For real!? That simplifies things. Cheers—wait, I can’t! I’m still a minor!”

Upon that, Luna puffed her cheeks with a “Muh~”, then suddenly put the can back on the table and grinned.

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.

Without time to stop her, Luna covered my lips.

—At that moment, my thoughts came to a complete stop.

…Don’t tell me, I got drunk on the juice?

“Meow, meow.”

“Your lips are so soft, Shinobu-san.”

…This wasn’t good. I had to do something before my reasoning gave in…!

I immediately sought help from everyone.

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.

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.

Amidst that, Luna brought her face even closer and said with a sweet voice.

“I know!”

“You are cute, kind and told me, a devil, to stay by your side. So I…”

“I love you very much, Shinobu-san.”

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.

That action was too stimulation as to put into words. When her tongue licked the gingival, a shiver ran down my spine.

In that moment, a thread of saliva was drawn and dripped down on Luna’s breasts.

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.

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.

There I regained my senses and was gravely ashamed of myself.

I was sure everyone else was struck dumb too— No, they even might look at me with scornful eyes.

…Could it be, they ran away and left me behind?

Though I ultimately might have been saved by that, I had a somehow complicated feeling.

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.

“I’m certainly a bit worried. Machina, go check upon Shinobu.”

“…I’m kinda scared, so no. You won’t know what Luna will do to you in her current state when she catches you.”

“You always call yourself a Goddess, but at the crucial time you’re of no use.”

“There’s no point if you only listen to it! Hurry up and go check on Shinobu!”

Elni, the coward.

“Hey, I just brought the Luna in question.”

However, while running down the hallway in panic, Elni, who was the rearguard, stumbled and was about to fall.

But her hand mistook her target and grabbed Machina’s skirt. While pulling down the skirt, Elni fell down.

“Kyaa!”

However, just like Elni’s hand, it grabbed the skirt and while pulling down Hijiri’s skirt, Machina fell down.

…By the way, the skirt of the first fallen victim Elni was flipped up and gave view to light blue panties.

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”.

Then I returned to the living room and approached the even now sleeping Kaorun.

Kaorun made some weird sleep-talking.

“What kind of dream are you having.”

“Nanjou-sama, what happened to your tentacles?”

When I replied wearily, Kaorun mumbled “…It was a dream, huh” somewhat regretful.

“I had a dream where you had tentacles, Nanjou-sama.”

“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.”

“Crazy, you say?”

“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.”

“What are you speaking of? Ignoring my pleads to stop, you tied your tentacles around the Miss and Miss Cow-woman’s voluminous breasts 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.”

“You do not have to force yourself, Nanjou-sama. Truth be told, you were imagining my dream and getting excited, were you not?”

“Do not want to. I will sleep right here, so please do not mind me.”

“Hey, don’t sleep here. Your exhaustion won’t get away if you don’t sleep in your bed.”

“I can’t do that. If you don’t listen to me, I’ll forcefully get you into your bed.”

“No, I didn’t mean it like that. C’mon, don’t say weird stuff and get to your room.”

“…Why are you so against it?”

“Because I ended up in the same room as Machina-sama.”

Kaorun was against that?

“I will end up saying mean things again, when I share a room with Machina-sama. Therefore, I will stay here.”

“…Are you sure? I always say mean things to Machina-sama. Worrying about me despite that would be strange.”

I advised so, but Kaorun showed hesitation.

“Please just try it if you think you can do.”

“…Eh? Nanjou-sama?”

“N- Nanjou-sama, this is rather embarrassing, so please let me down.”

The moment I said that, I received a chop on my head.

“Even as a joke, it is rude to call a woman heavy.”

I asked in a casual tone, when I received another chop to my head.

“Excuse me for that. But if you’re going to caution me about that, use words and not your fist.”

“That’s yet another unpleasant age…”

“Ehm, Nanjou-sama, I will properly return to my room, so I would like you to put me down already…”

The moment I said so teasingly, my head tasted a third chop.

“A reflex— I mean, it is my way of showing affection.”

“No, I am neither a S, nor a M.”

“I am a H!”

Well, talking like that, we arrived in front of the room, so I let Kaorun down and turned my back to her.

“Yes, I will try my best.”

“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.

“I, I might be inexperienced, but I’ll do my best to be of your service. Th- Therefore… Take good care of me.”

I had completely forgotten about it, so I was quite disturbed.

I had no confidence in my endurance on various fronts, so I, while feeling bad for Hijiri, passed by her and crawled into my bed.

“…You also go to sleep quickly, Hijiri.”

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 breasts bounced and allowed a sneak peek into her deep cleavage.

“Shinobu-kun, would you keep me company for just a little bit?”

“I was rejected!”

“Uhm, Shinobu-kun…”

As to show that I had no interest in a conversation, I made a “Beep” tone, when Hijiri asked timidly.

…Huh? Not only didn’t she give up, but she played along?

“…It’s embarrassing, but if that’s what you want, I’ll tell you. From the top, 89, 58—”

When I interrupted her with snoring sounds, Hijiri giggled quietly.

“Call it reserved.”

“Your blushing face is cute…”

I replied suited, then I turned around and closed my eyes.

“Thanks, Shinobu-kun.”

I turned around on the sudden gratitude, when Hijiri showed a smile with “For Kaoru-san”.

Hijiri continued with a gentle voice.

“…Yeah, of course.”

Upon that, Hijiri blushed lightly and said adding.

“Y- Yeah, okay. Then let’s play together tomorrow.”

“There is no need for promises between us.”

“…Uhm, I’m not sure I understand that, Shinobu-kun.”

“I see. Okay. I trust you.”

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.

“A whole lot is up!”

“Shinobu, that maid keeps telling scary stories. I don’t want to return to that room.”

I mumbled wearily, when following after Machina, Kaorun entered the room.

“I apologize for the trouble. The conversation with Machina-sama was at a dead-end, so I just…”

“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.”

“…Uhm, all things considered, you did lost the cleaning battle, Machina-sama, so please obey my words.”

Machina answered Kaorun, who was trying to calm things down, and faced sideways.

To try it, I held out my palm towards Machina.

“Machina, your hand.”

Machina obediently rested her hand on my palm.

“Yes.”

“Yay~”

“Be gentle—wait, what are you making me do!”

“Kaorun, as you can see, Machina never obeys anyone. Sorry, but you have to give up.”

“So cute, Machina-san.”

…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.

So I thought, but as Machina was really scared, she strongly clung onto me once I got under the blanket.

“Ehm, Machina, it’s a bit hot like this?”

Apparently for Machina there wasn’t the option of getting away from me.

Curiously I faced it, when I saw Hijiri lightly puffing her cheeks.

“N- None of your concern.”

Upon that, Hijiri dropped her shoulders dejected, turned her back to me and rested her cheek on her pillow.

Kaorun couldn’t stand to watch it either and softly called out to Hijiri.

“…It’s fine. I don’t want to be hated by Shinobu-kun for saying strange things.”

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
