“…Kai-kun, aren’t you scared?”
“I think it’s eerie, but I’m not scared. You’re here, Matsuri, and thinking I need to protect you if something happens actually gives me courage.”
I said, showing off again.
But thanks to that, Matsuri, who had looked anxious, smiled, so that was good.
“The sound is coming from this way.”
The source of the sound was the garden… I should be able to see it from the living room window.
When I quietly looked outside through a gap in the curtains, I was stared at by small, glaring eyes, but I realized that was the source of the sound—a cat.
“A c-cat…?”
“Yeah… that was kind of anticlimactic.”
I’d even considered using my partner just in case it was a burglar, but since it turned out to be a cat, that wasn’t necessary.
When I lightly clapped my hands through the window, the cat flinched and ran away.
With the cat gone, the noise completely disappeared, and beside me, Matsuri breathed a sigh of relief.
“I’m so glad it was a cat… if it had been a person, I would have been scared.”
“Well, if it were a person, it would be a crime. Now then, let’s go back to the room.”
“Yeah!”
Now I should be able to sleep peacefully… wait.
“Sorry, I’ll use the bathroom real quick.”
“Ah, okay. See you soon.”
I sent Matsuri to the room first and listened carefully one more time.
…Alright, it really seems fine.
“I’m back.”
“Welcome back~… Are we going to sleep now?”
“Yeah… I’m getting sleepy.”
Though I got embarrassed remembering what we’d been doing just earlier, it was true that I’d gotten sleepy.
Our night is just beginning!
I could still act energetic like that, but the moment I relaxed, I felt sleepy enough to instantly travel to dreamland.
“Then I’ll sleep next to you.”
“The bed?”
“Why do you think I prepared two futons?”
“R-right…”
And so… I’d be sleeping together with Matsuri.
I realized that the presence of the busty gal lying right next to me made me feel more at ease than excited.
Come to think of it, the last time I spent the night with someone like this was with nee-chan… it’s not something you experience often, but having someone next to you like this is really reassuring.
“Matsuri, are you awake?”
“I’m awake.”
“You know… I’ve been sleeping alone at night for a while now. But I remembered that sleeping together with someone like this is really reassuring.”
“Hehe, you’re thinking the same thing as me.”
Apparently Matsuri was thinking the same thing.
The fact that I felt reassured by Matsuri being at a distance where I could reach her if I extended my hand was no different from me trusting her with my heart.
When we went to the pool, I told them:
I want to stay together with you all forever… and they also said they felt the same way.
“…?”
“…Ehehe♪”
Suddenly, I turned my gaze to her.
Matsuri was staring intently at me, and when our eyes met, she smiled happily… you’re so cute, damn it.
When she showed me such a smile, I became entranced and couldn’t look away.
But I was happy that I was reflected in those eyes… that’s probably because I like Matsuri.
(Like… huh.)
Like… of course, I mean in the romantic sense.
But I’d known that all along… even before I said I wanted to be with Matsuri and the others, I’ve liked them and wanted to stay together with them forever.
Though it was rather shameless that not just Matsuri but also Saika’s and Emu’s faces floated in my mind, and I thought I was the worst.
“Kai-kun.”
“What?”
“Can I move closer to you?”
“…Go ahead.”
“Thanks♪”
She left her own futon and invaded mine.
The distance wasn’t just our shoulders touching—Matsuri’s face was so close that even her breathing grazed my cheek.
“Somehow… I really feel at ease.”
“Really? That’s the same for me too♪”
And then Matsuri pressed her body even closer.
Close… too close!
I wanted to say that out loud, but because I thought it would be disappointing if Matsuri moved away, I said nothing.
I’m embarrassed… shy.
But more than any of those emotions, what filled my heart was the peace brought by having Matsuri by my side.
“…K-Kai-kun…!”
Sorry, Matsuri.
For now, today…good night.

“…K-Kai-kun…!”
Gaining courage from the warmth of him—Kai-kun—next to me, I tried to say the words I wanted to convey, but… but…!
“Zzz… zzz… mumble mumble.”
“…He fell asleep!”
Of course, I didn’t shout loudly—I buried my face in my pillow and let out a small cry.
“…Ugh.”
Kai-kun’s smile… so cute.
Even though I should have resentful feelings about him falling asleep, when I look at Kai-kun’s peaceful sleeping face right next to me… just that makes my chest feel warm, and I think I’m such a simple person.
“Kai-kun… you didn’t make a move on me.”
While poking Kai-kun’s cheek as he slept, I let out that complaint.
Even though there’s such a cute girl right next to you trying to seduce you erotically, Kai-kun didn’t make any moves!
“But… ehehe♪”
Of course I’m slightly dissatisfied with that, but more than that, it was a happy time.
The proof is that if I let my guard down, my cheeks relax and I can’t control my expression. If my friends saw me, they’d ask what kind of fantasies I’m having—I think my face is probably quite something right now.
“Mufufu… I’ll reminisce about today.”
Since I’m too excited to sleep anyway, I’ll remember everything from today… including the naughty things.
Giving Kai-kun a lap pillow, treating him to dinner… I was incredibly happy that he was pleased with all of it, but what was engraved in my memory even more than that was what happened in the bath and just now… when we were embracing.
“No… more than the bath, just now… if that cat hadn’t interrupted us, what would have happened… aaaaahhh!!”
The bath was amazing… but even more than that, when we were embracing just now was really amazing!
“Ahh… my body’s getting hot.”
Just embracing wasn’t enough to satisfy me, so I guided Kai-kun’s hand to my chest.
Just having his hand touch me fills my heart, but when he lightly squeezed, my body trembled, and my feelings of loving Kai-kun overflowed and seemed like they wouldn’t stop… no, they couldn’t be stopped.
The desire that overflowed like a torrent sought Kai-kun.
I want to do more things… I want to touch him more and more… I want to engrave him more and more into this body.
When I was thinking that, Kai-kun stimulated the hardened part of my breasts… it was a light stimulus, but that stimulus from Kai-kun ran through my entire body at once and was enough to slightly dampen my underwear…!
“That sensation… I love it… I can’t forget it… it felt so good♪”
This might be bad… when I remember that, my body gets hotter and hotter.
Next to Kai-kun sleeping peacefully, I’m about to do something I absolutely shouldn’t do… no, I’m already doing it.
“Wow… it’s soaked.”
My underwear, which had been lightly damp from Kai-kun’s touch, is now completely soaked.
What that shows is that my body is excited… and I’m comforting my body while seeking Kai-kun.
My left hand on my chest, my right hand between my legs… slowly, but the more I move them, the better they make me feel, overflowing with happy emotions.
“Mmn… it feels better than usual…”
Of course it does… because Kai-kun is by my side.
“…Mm~? Shark fin… soup… mumble.”
“!?”
I don’t really understand, but I flinched at the specific words in his sleep talk.
Kai-kun…? What’s with that meaningless sleep talk… what kind of dream are you having? I mean, rather than dreaming about me, are you saying shark fin soup is better than me!?
“Really, Kai-kun… you, you!”
Thinking about how much he’s toying with me, I poke his cheek again.
But I’d forgotten… that my fingers were wet, and Kai-kun’s cheek would get all sticky.
“…Oh no.”
I immediately wiped it off gently with a tissue.
That mishap completely calmed me down, so I fixed my disheveled pajamas and looked at Kai-kun’s sleeping face from the side.
“………………”
What I thought about Kai-kun wasn’t just naughty things.
The cause of the noise was a cat, but Kai-kun, who tried to leave the room to find out what it was, was really cool.
With a dignified expression, trying to protect me… I’m sure Kai-kun was afraid too.
“I felt like a princess.”
That’s how much I trusted Kai-kun and felt reassured by his presence.
Really, I… I always think about how much I love and treasure Kai-kun.
But it’s not just me—Saika and Emu-chan feel the same way.
Kai-kun is such a sinful boy, you know?
Making us so crazy about you like this… you’re really, truly a sinful boy!
“But… I’ve fallen hopelessly in love with such a boy… both in this reality where Kai-kun exists and in that dream-like space…”
I still don’t know the true nature of the happy dreams I sometimes see.
What that dream brings me is happiness and the cute appearance of Kai-kun… if I could wish for it, I’d want to stay immersed in that dream forever.
“…No, that’s not quite right.”
I shake my head as if reconsidering.
I love that sweet, clingy Kai-kun too, but I love spending time with Kai-kun properly in reality even more.
“I’ll get even closer.”
The distance is already close enough, but I’ll get even closer.
Today it’s just me and Kai-kun… there’s no one else around, a space for just the two of us where no one will interrupt.
“…Kai-ku~n♪”
I snuggle up closely to sleeping Kai-kun.
Since it’s summer, normally clinging together like this would be hot, but tonight is very cool, so it’s not uncomfortable like this.
Oh, and this is my little prank♪
What will Kai-kun think when he wakes up tomorrow morning and sees me by his side like this?
Will he shout in surprise?
Will he be surprised but maintain the status quo?
Will he wake me up gently, like a prince?
Will he… do naughty things to sleeping me?
Or… or will Kai-kun do something I can’t imagine?
“…Hehe, I’m excited.”
Now then, Kai-kun, what will you do to me!?
With such expectations hidden in my heart, I closed my eyes while feeling Kai-kun’s presence.
By the way, as for what happened the next morning…
“Hah… hah… phew… I thought I was going to die…!”
“A-ahaha… sorry, Kai-kun!”
Half-asleep me had hugged sleeping Kai-kun’s face to my chest and nearly suffocated him.
Well… my apologies… ehehe.
