“…………Whew.”
No, this is not a whew moment at all.
A cool breeze blew through the night — a stark contrast to the noon heat that had been getting hard to bear.
And yet, I was sweating strangely.
Nervous……? Me……?
“To think a day like this would come.”
After that, I’d cut my work short and returned to my room to prepare.
Picked the cutest underwear I owned, showered, cleansed myself……
“For an emergency setup, I’ve managed to acquire decent things.”
I obviously hadn’t owned the kind of nightwear that appeals to a man, so I went out into the city and reviewed the outfit I’d bought.
Not blatantly vulgar, but exposing the legs boldly.
Yes, I understand. I’m aware that a chest as poor as mine isn’t in demand.
So thighs are the only field on which to compete.
I’ve kept up with my health, so my skin’s elasticity shouldn’t be bad.
Let’s bet that Ouga-kun has a fetish for thighs in addition to chests.
…… Brace yourself. This is a battlefield from here, Reina.
The closer I get with Ouga-kun, the higher the success probability of the plan to draw him to that island.
Ouga-kun is extraordinarily kind to anyone he’s accepted as one of his own.
Status, past…… he wraps them all up without distinction.
A once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity, then.
A first time as one of four……should be considered an experience hard to come by.
The saying “Heroes love women” exists for a reason, and it’s proof that he, too, is one of those who will leave his name in history.
I put my index finger to my cheek and constructed the smile-mask. —— And in that instant.
“Ahn!”
Together with a dry snap, Miss Lebetsenka’s voice came through the door.
E-eh, eh…… they’ve already started……!?
To produce a sound that violent……?
”…… No, I must have misheard. Yes, that’s right. It’s still not even time for everyone to be asleep at a dormitory like this.”
I muttered, almost as if to convince myself, and recovered the calm of my heart.
Why does Ouga-kun keep stirring my heart up like this.
Troublesome man.
“Excuse me. It’s Reina.”
“Oh, I’ve been waiting, Reina. Sorry, but could you open it yourself? My hands are tied up at the moment.”
”…… Understood.”
The feast really has already started……!!
If his hands are tied up, then they’re definitely on something else, aren’t they!
Like Miss Lebetsenka’s waist, or — or her butt——!
That makes him no different from that Crown Prince who had relations with all those female students.
To be unable to wait for my arrival and just start…… my impression of Ouga-kun is changing.
To find that he was this faithful to his desires — as one woman, I’m a little disappointed.
…… But I mustn’t let those personal feelings show on the surface.
I simply need to deepen ties with him as usual.
That’s all there is to it.
”…………”
I swallowed, steeled myself for the lecherous world that must be spreading inside, and opened the door.
“Ouga-kun. Thank you for inviting me today——”
"""Welcome, President Reina~!!"""
“——Eh.”
What cut off my words was a pop — the sound of tubes bursting — and Miss Liche and Miss Lebetsenka, greeting me.
Bits of paper confetti fluttered down to the floor.
“Welcome, Reina.”
He’d just finished hanging up a banner reading “Friendship-deepening Sleepover Party” and, still in that posture, turned a smile toward me.
Rings of colored paper decorated an entire wall.
Various sweets laid out on the table. The tea-making equipment from lunchtime was set up as well.
The scene so far from my imagination — I blinked rapidly.
“Um…… this is……”
“For deepening ties as friends, Mashiro told me a sleepover would be ideal. Apparently, among commoners, there’s a culture called a pajama party.”
“Yes……”
“I want to build a friendly relationship with you, Reina. And from the outside, you work too hard. I want to make you rest somehow. Two birds with one stone — that’s what this gathering is.”
“So…… as the four of us, that meant……”
“The party, of course?”
“And the loud sound earlier……”
“Karen misfired. I was teaching her how to operate the magical implement (party popper) I made, and it accidentally……”
“It surprised me and I let out a weird voice…… I made you anxious, didn’t I.”
Lowering her head, Miss Lebetsenka apologized.
But I wasn’t in a state to engage with that.
I replayed our string of conversations.
When I thought it over carefully, he had never once spoken those words.
He had purely spoken of wanting to be closer, and I had inferred and misinterpreted from circumstance……
”…… Fufu.”
Aaaaaaaaa!!
“Reina!?”
I’m sorry, Ouga-kun. The most lewd one was me!!
The welling embarrassment was beyond enduring, and I crumpled on the spot.
◇ Just to be clear, I love small chests too. Boob-lovers are all brothers. ◇
