Inside Chisa and Aina's room—
"Snore… Snore…"
Iori was wrapped tightly in a blanket like spring roll filling, and judging by his snores, he was sleeping soundly~
"Gulp… Chisa… are you sure about this?"
In the corner of the room, Aina clutched her blanket, her face bright red and her body trembling. This was her first time sleeping in the same room with a guy.
It's over—there's no way she's ever getting married now!
But then again…
If the guy is Iori, maybe it's not that bad…
Kyah~ (＃／.＼＃)
So embarrassing~
"It's fine. We didn't have a choice if we wanted that idiot to pass the exam. Don't worry, he's wrapped up super tight in that blanket.
Plus, with all the sleeping pills we gave him, he should be knocked out until morning.
And if that's not enough… we've got this!"
Chisa spoke seriously as she raised the stun baton in her hand!
Zzzzzt!
If that idiot really managed to break free, she'd resort to this final measure!
"..."
Looking at Chisa, armed to the teeth, Aina didn't know what to say. Honestly… wasn't all this a bit overkill?
And also…
Why the hell did that weirdo Shiro bring all this random junk on a trip!? How did that stun baton even make it through airport security!? Is Japan's public safety… okay? Can she file a report?
Yep.
Everything Chisa had on her right now had been provided by none other than Shiro. Including the idea of letting Iori—the idiot—sleep in their room in the first place.
When he first suggested it, Chisa had outright refused.
What kind of sick joke was this? It's like being trapped in a room with a cockroach! And an unknown attack-type cockroach, at that!
Until…
Shiro pulled out all that gear.
Then, with lightning speed, he drugged Iori with sleeping pills and bundled him up like a dumpling. Only then did Chisa reluctantly agree.
To be safe, she kept the stun baton right next to her.
Poor Iori never even realized what happened—one second he was upright, the next he was out cold. When he woke up, he probably wouldn't even know he spent the night in Chisa and Aina's room~
Suddenly!
Aina's eyes widened, and she reached out with a trembling hand. "Chisa! The… the electricity!"
(′｀;)?
"I know, right? The stun baton—Shiro said it works really well."
"No, not that! You just shocked Kitahara!"
Aina shouted, on the verge of tears. No wonder she thought she smelled grilled meat earlier!
Chisa was stunned. She immediately dropped the baton and turned to look. Sure enough—there lay Iori, no longer snoring, his eyes rolled back in his head as he twitched in unconsciousness.
Seeing Iori's occasionally convulsing body, Chisa actually felt a pang of guilt. She quietly added another blanket over him, then buried herself in the corner with Aina like an ostrich…
She didn't mean it! She really didn't know the voltage was that high!
…
Meanwhile—
The root cause of all this chaos, Shiro, was enjoying the life of his dreams~
"Ahh~ Finally a room big enough to stretch out in~"
"Make sure to get good rest~ We're starting our diving license training tomorrow~"
Two gorgeous older sisters were lying on either side of Shiro. At that moment, he truly felt like he had reached the peak of life!
(￣▽￣)*
"Mmhmm! I'll study super hard!"
Shiro nodded enthusiastically. This had to be paradise. Dammit, why was this room so big? Couldn't it be a little smaller?
If it were just a bit tighter, the three of them could snuggle up together! Whoever designed this room clearly had no idea how to maximize space!
"So lucky~"
Nanaka couldn't help but gently stroke Shiro's hair. Her leaning forward revealed everything to Shiro's line of sight!
!!!
Shiro's body stiffened instantly!
So white! So huge!
"Just like when you were little~"
Nanaka's warm breath drew closer. It was like everything had gone back in time.
That ten-year-old kid following behind her, pouting and asking to sleep with his big sister.
Even back then, that kid had frozen up just like now.
"Time really flies, huh…"
Hearing Nanaka'snostalgic voice, Shiro's body slowly relaxed. He could tell she was genuinely reminiscing—no hidden agenda at all.
"Yeah… it really does."
Time, like his first time, passed in the blink of an eye. Shiro may have forgotten the many girls he met along the way, but he would never forget the first time he met Nanaka—when he was just ten.
He looked into her eyes. No matter how many times he saw them, he never got tired of the warmth in her gaze. The memories from his childhood had never faded.
"But now we're back together again—with Iori too. It's so nice having everyone around~"
Nanaka smiled. Nothing beat reuniting with childhood friends.
(??ω??)
Shiro, who had just been getting into the moment, froze the instant he heard that name.
Now? NOW you bring up Iori!?
That idiot is literally sleeping in your sister's room right now! Sure, they grew up together, but come on—there's a limit to what should be tolerated between a man and a moron!
"Um… Nanaka-nee, next time, during moments like this… maybe just don't bring up that idiot Kitahara, okay?"
"Pffft~"
Azusa, who had been quietly listening to their whole conversation, burst out laughing. Just how much resentment did Shiro have toward Iori!?
Right now, Shiro felt like someone who had been reading a beautifully written poem… only for it to suddenly drop a vulgar joke in the middle.
Sure, you could keep reading the poem—but the mood was totally ruined. That one crude line stuck in your head, ruining the flow.
(′｀;)?
Only Nanaka looked confused, clearly not understanding what she'd said wrong. Being the sweet airhead she was, she had no clue she'd just derailed the entire vibe.
But speaking of Iori… she wondered how things were going over in Chisa's room. Hopefully, Iori would sleep soundly through the night.
As for their safety? Nanaka wasn't worried in the slightest. She saw Chisa take that stun baton—and she'd secretly turned the voltage all the way up!
Here's hoping Iori didn't get to experience that~
After mentally reviewing everything that had happened that day and confirming nothing went wrong, Nanaka smiled with satisfaction. She patted Shiro on the head again and closed her eyes.
"Good night, Shiro, Azusa~"
"Good night, Nanaka-nee."
"Oh! Nighty-night!"
Looking at Nanaka like this, Shiro slowly closed his eyes too. After a full day of play, he was completely drained. The scent of beautiful women around him only made him sleepier.
Sniff~
Why does the scent suddenly feel so strong? This smell…
It's wisteria?
Wait… am I dreaming of the wisteria grove again? I hope this time there are no wild boars chasing me—
Hold up!
How could I fall asleep this fast!?
And why does my body feel so heavy? Is this… sleep paralysis!?
Shiro's eyes snapped open—and he saw a pair of beautiful, violet eyes gazing at him with a smile.
Azusa was completely lying on top of him, her finger gently resting on his lips.
"Hey~ Shiro, I only said goodnight to Nanaka just now, remember? We can't go to sleep just yet. Don't forget about the compensation I promised you… or do you not want it anymore?"
Gulp…
Feeling the soft weight pressing against him, Shiro swallowed hard.
Here? Right next to Nanaka-nee!?
"Um… Azusa… isn't this just a bit too intense?"
"Intense? Not at all~ It's perfect~ I even brought your favorite accessory~"
With a magician's flair, Azusa produced a rope from nowhere.
At that moment—
The string of reason within Shiro snapped!
＼(`Δ')／
It's time to prove myself!
…
Back in Iori's room—
For some reason, he was having a weird dream. In it, he kept getting struck by lightning. At first, he could dodge and run…
But then!
Why the heck did a rope suddenly show up!?
That's cheating!
