"Fu~ Fuyumi, ah! It's~ the phone, it's ringing… aren't you going to check it?"
"Wait a moment, just a little longer, right now Chifuyu is more important~"
"Mm… uu…"
"It's… it's a message from Club President, Otome, she's… she's inviting me to eat together, and there's also a call from Rinka…"
.
.
.
"Otome called me too, probably inviting me to eat together as well… So… shall we continue?"
"Ah~? Um… the exam's over now, what if someone comes to the club room…"
Tsukimi Chifuyu's worried words made Sasaki, whose brain had been taken over by lust, pause his thoughts of continuing to turn the world upside down.
What Chifuyu said wasn't impossible—it was actually very possible.
Quite a few students liked the quiet and had the habit of coming to the club rooms to eat.
If someone happened to catch the two of them in the act…
Looking for excitement is fine, but I don't want to die.
Sasaki pulled out, gently patted Tsukimi Chifuyu's round, moon-like ass as he said.
"Then let's clean up a bit. If someone really comes, it could cause trouble for Chifuyu."
Without her lover's support, Tsukimi Chifuyu's legs went soft and she almost collapsed to the floor…
Looking at the girl and knoowing this little dummy didn't have much stamina, Sasaki, who had already anticipated it, supported her arm, letting her lean into his embrace:
"After eating, Chifuyu should rest properly, okay? Otherwise it might affect the afternoon exam."
Her lover's smiling, caring words made Tsukimi Chifuyu's face flush bright red.
Not knowing how to respond, she lowered her head and pursed her lips:
"Mm, mm~"
Although he wanted to tease and linger with her a little longer, the trouble of getting caught was no small matter, so Sasaki had to stop his playful teasing.
Holding Chifuyu, who was wearing an open white cardigan shirt, he sat her down on the soft leather sofa, picked up the tie that had been tossed onto the sofa and waved it at her:
"You don't have any strength right now, so let me help you get dressed, okay? It'll be faster this way."
"And… let's skip wiping for now. If we throw the tissues in the trash and someone notices, it'll be bad. Is that okay?"
Howeved, the girl's mind was still a bit foggy, so, she looked at him with dazed, misty eyes and weakly nodded:
"Mm, mm~"
After a moment of slowing down, she finally understood what he meant.
While he was buttoning her up, Tsukimi Chifuyu blinked her eyes, unsure whether it was worry or anticipation:
"Doing it like this… will it make a little baby, right…?"
Sasaki, who was lowering his head to fasten her buttons, turned to meet her conflicted little gaze, smiled, and covered her wet, glistening little mouth.
After a moment of intimate kissing, he continued buttoning her up and said.
"Yeah. Does Chifuyu want a little baby?"
Sasaki's tone was obviously teasing.
Because he had asked Chifuyu about her safe days in advance, and with his own constitution, even if he finished inside with a "gurgle gurgle," it would be fine.
But right now, Tsukimi Chifuyu, whose head was clearly still muddled—was seriously thinking about it:
"Fuyumi's little baby… what should we name it? If it's a girl, we could call her…"
Listening to her mumble unclearly for a while, Sasaki smiled and gently pinched the tip of her heart.
"Let's think about those things later. Right now we need to deal with the little pants first. Otherwise, if everything comes out, it'll cause trouble for other people, you know~"
"Mmm~"
Since they hadn't taken off their clothes, "helping her get dressed" really just meant buttoning up and zipping up.
So the two of them quickly got themselves properly dressed again.
By this point, after all the torment from Sasaki, Tsukimi Chifuyu had also recovered a little from the afterglow.
After confirming that she could stand on her own, Sasaki kissed her still-flushed cheek, then left a faint, early-moon-like red mark on her neck:
"Do you have air freshener here? Remember to spray a little on the cabinet door, the sofa, and by the windows, okay."
Tsukimi Chifuyu shyly glanced at the few spots Sasaki had mentioned.
Overcome with embarrassment, she stood up, lowered her head, and went to get the cleaning tools in the corner.
Seeing that her movements were slow but she could indeed stand steadily, Sasaki felt reassured she wouldn't fall, then waved his hand and said:
"I'll wait for you outside, in the first-floor lobby."
Tsukimi Chifuyu, who had just picked up the mop, nodded. "Mm-hmm."
Not wanting to delay any longer, Sasaki went to the entrance, put on his shoes, and headed downstairs.
Just as he stepped off the last stair on the first floor, he ran right into Otome and Rinka who were walking in through the main door.
Seeing the two girls enter the lobby while chatting and laughing, Sasaki's body instantly stiffened, however, he quickly composed himself, and before they noticed him, called out to them:
"Otome, Rinka."
Hearing the voice that was far too familiar, Sakuragi Otome froze for a second, then turned toward the stairwell with a bright, radiant smile.
"Fuyumi."
Okino Rinka, who also heard the call, turned her head toward the stairs.
"Brother Fuyumi."
Unlike Sakuragi Otome's gentle and shy demeanor,
Okino Rinka was like a little puppy that had just been let off its leash, sprinting wildly across the yard.
She dashed straight to Sasaki and threw herself into his arms:
"Brother Fuyumi~"
Fortunately, Sasaki had a sturdy build.
If it had been an ordinary, exercise-lacking otaku student, being tackled like that… even just getting knocked flat would be considered light.
Patting the soft little head in his arms, the young man said helplessly yet affectionately. "You… how many times have I told you? You're way too reckless. Aren't you afraid of slipping and falling on the floor?"
"Hehe~ It's fine. I know Fuyumi-niisan won't let me fall."
You say that, but you're way too confident about it.
Sasaki stroked the smooth ponytail behind Rinka's head, his gaze filled with helpless, doting amusement.
As if she could guess what he was thinking, Okino Rinka stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around his neck, pressed close to his ear, and said:
"Because Fuyumi-niisan has picked me up so many times and never once let me fall, so this time won't be an exception either~"
That's not the same thing at all…
Although he had just finished his rendezvous with Chifuyu, his little Sasaki was still far from being calm.
And, her wet, hot, and ambiguous soft words made his heart heat up, so, he reached out and pinched her impossibly soft little waist, lowering his voice to warn her:
"Your Otome-neesan is right in front of us. You're getting more and more unrestrained. Tone it down a bit."
With their faces pressed together, Okino Rinka could clearly feel his breathing become heavier and slower.
Seeing that, the girl felt very pleased that she could affect him so much...
So, she secretly bit the earlobe of Sister Otome's lover:
"It's Brother Fuyumi who's the indecent one, always thinking about those things. It's clearly just a very normal big brother hugging little sister, but your thoughts are so unhealthy~"
After saying that, Okino Rinka giggled and stepped back, linked her arm with his, stood to the side, and made space for Otome who was approaching.
Since she had personally allowed Rinka to climb into her lover's bed, Sakuragi Otome made no reaction at all to Rinka's earlier actions, as if she hadn't seen anything and didn't mention it.
Although the two of them just now looked like they had simply hugged and whispered a few words.
But Otome would never believe that Fuyumi, facing such a clingy little sister, would be satisfied with just a hug.
The things that happened on the way to school this morning had already completely shattered the last bit of her fantasy about her lover.
He was very unrestrained!
So, no matter what had actually happened between the two just now, the best choice now was to pretend she hadn't seen anything.
Otherwise, if he and Rinka teamed up to tease her, how would she possibly cope?
With no change in expression or eyes, Sakuragi Otome stood in front of her lover, reached out and straightened his slightly wrinkled collar:
"Why did Fuyumi come here? I called you earlier and you didn't pick up."
Reaching out to catch Otome's soft, cool little hand, holding it in his palm and gently rubbing it, Sasaki smiled and replied
"I have a classmate who wants to start a club. My exam room was quite close to here, so after the exam I came over to take a look."
"Did Otome call me?"
As he spoke, he puzzledly took out his phone to check, then raised an eyebrow and gave an embarrassed smile. "After leaving the exam room, I forgot to turn the ringer back on."
It was really a small thing.
So, after knowing the reason, Sakuragi Otome didn't think much about it and smiled lightly with a nod:
"I see. Fuyumi, can you eat lunch with us today?"
"Sure."
After agreeing, Sasaki lowered his arm, and Rinka on the side immediately linked arms with him again before he asked them:
"What about Tsukimi? Hasn't she been eating with you guys a lot lately?"
"I called Chifuyu and sent messages, but no reply. She's probably with her boyfriend." Sakuragi Otome said uncertainly.
After carefully observing Otome's expression and confirming she wasn't implying anything, Sasaki nodded indifferently, then changed the subject.
"What are you two doing here? Coming to the club to get something?"
Some students had already entered the club building.
Looking at the crowd, the shy Sakuragi Otome withdrew her hand from her lover's palm and replied.
"Mm, it's a bit cold today, so we wanted to put on the jackets we brought this morning."
"Fuyumi, do you want to come? I also brought your clothes."
"Sure."
Arriving at the door of the Yoga Club.
Just as Sakuragi Otome was about to take out the key to open the door, she heard movement inside:
"Is someone in the club room?"
Except for the changing room cabinet keys, each person had their own key to the club door.
So Sakuragi Otome wasn't sure who was inside.
After opening the door, seeing the neatly arranged shoes at the entrance, she became even more certain that someone was inside.
Before she could take off her shoes and enter, the person who had made the noise inside walked out.
Having finished cleaning the changing room and making sure there was no strange smell left, Tsukimi Chifuyu, who was about to change shoes and leave, saw Otome and Rinka standing at the entrance, plus Fuyumi who was about to come in.
Her eyes widened in nervous surprise:
"Eh? Club President Otome."
Hearing her words, Sakuragi Otome paused in the middle of taking off her shoes while holding the cabinet, then looked up in surprise:
"It's Chifuyu. So you were at the club after all."
It wasn't hard to hear the surprise in Otome's words, and Tsukimi Chifuyu, knowing that she hadn't discovered anything about her and Fuyumi, let out a tiny, almost imperceptible sigh of relief and put on a smile:
"Mm… mm, I forgot something in the changing cabinet yesterday, so I came over today to pick it up. Is Club President Otome here to get something too?"
Fuyumi-niisan and Chifuyu-neesan are both in the club building… Just now Chifuyu-neesan looked really nervous when she saw Otome-neesan and Fuyumi-niisan…
The two of them… could it be… Okino Rinka's suspicious little gaze lingered back and forth between the pair.
She guessed they might not have been behaving themselves… but her thoughts and opinions didn't matter.
What mattered was what Otome-neesan thought, how she saw it.
Okino Rinka shifted her gaze toward the girl again.
Because there was a certain misunderstanding between them.
Sakuragi Otome had no idea about her lover and Tsukimi's relationship.
So when she looked at Tsukimi Chifuyu, there was nothing strange in her eyes at all, and her reply came out completely natural.
"Yeah, it's gotten cold, so I came to add an extra layer."
After explaining, Sakuragi Otome wanted to invite her good friend to eat together, so she asked:
"Chifuyu, are you going to find your boyfriend later?"
"Find… find my boyfriend…"
Subconsciously glancing at Fuyumi standing in the doorway, Tsukimi Chifuyu froze for a second before realizing Otome was talking about the previous Takagi and quickly waved her hand:
"No, no, I'm not. He's with his friends right now."
Sakuragi Otome, who was busy arranging her shoes with her head down, didn't notice Tsukimi Chifuyu's glance.
After she finished putting her shoes away and straightened up, she invited the girl.
"Then let's eat together later. I heard the cafeteria launched some new dishes, and they're supposed to taste pretty good."
Eating with Otome and Rinka was already very familiar to Tsukimi Chifuyu, but together with Fuyumi…
Carefully peeking toward the doorway, Tsukimi Chifuyu, whose heart was overflowing with shy delight, narrowed her eyes and smiled sweetly:
"Okay~"
After getting the answer, Sakuragi Otome stepped over to stand beside Tsukimi Chifuyu, then turned back to her lover and said.
"Fuyumi, why don't you take Rinka and Chifuyu to the practice room first to look around? I'll go get the clothes—it'll be quick."
"I'm going too, I'm going too."
Not wanting to be left as the third wheel, Okino Rinka also took off her shoes and followed along.
After the two girls left, only Tsukimi and Sasaki remained at the entrance.
Hearing the sound of them entering the changing room, the young man walked to the side of the girl, kissed her little face that had already returned to normal, and said.
"That was close. I ran into Otome right after I went downstairs. If we'd come out even a little later, we would've been caught in the changing room."
Leaning into her lover's embrace, Tsukimi Chifuyu nodded with lingering fear still in her heart.
"Mm mm~"
Just now, when she saw Otome and Fuyumi standing together at the door, her heart had jumped into her throat.
She thought Club President Otome had come to interrogate her.
She had even been ready to drop to her knees and apologize...
Seeing the idiot Chifuyu clutching her chest in lingering fright, Sasaki hugged her soft little body, lowered his head, and nuzzled against her fragrant, alluring neck.
"I'll find a chance to tell Otome about this. It won't be long."
To make his words more believable, he added. "Rinka is the same as you~ When the opportunity comes, I'll tell them together."
The girl, with her arms raised high and wrapped around her lover's neck, exclaimed in surprise.
"Eh? Rinka too?"
"Yeah, because of some special reasons..."
Sasaki didn't explain too clearly, because he was afraid this idiot might accidentally let it slip when chatting with Otome or Rinka.
So he only mentioned it briefly, letting her know the fact.
Tsukimi Chifuyu didn't press about the "special reasons" her lover mentioned.
After the initial surprise passed, she took the initiative to ask about the others.
She was thinking whether she might hear even more shocking names from her lover's mouth.
"Then besides Serizawa-san, Rinka, and your fiancée... who else is there?"
Sasaki had no intention of hiding anything.
As long as she asked, he would answer.
He replied honestly:
"From our class: Natsuha, Iga... and from other classes: Nanao Akane, Kashiwabara Momo... oh, and Teacher Tomoe, Kurumi."
Because she had mentally prepared herself somewhat, so, even though Tsukimi Chifuyu was surprised, she was not shocked when she heard the names of Natsuha, Iga and Akane.
But when she heard the names of the two teachers Tomoe and Kurumi, she was genuinely stunned.
If it had been only one of them, Tsukimi Chifuyu might have thought it was someone with the same name she didn't know... but both?
Then it had to be...
Nestled against Chifuyu's neck, Sasaki couldn't see her expression, but he knew she must be very shocked, so he took the initiative to explain.
"Yes, exactly the two people you're thinking of."
"..."
After receiving the confirmation, Tsukimi Chifuyu froze like she had been petrified, becoming completely dazed.
This wasn't just a surprise anymore...it was outright shock.
This... this is absolutely impossible, right?
Lifting his head and taking in the little idiot's stunned expression, Sasaki smiled and gently pinched the soft flesh on both sides of her cheeks.
"Can't believe it?"
"Once the club is established, you all have to get along well, okay."
Indeed, she couldn't believe it, but since her lover said so, it couldn't be false.
Tsukimi Chifuyu suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, blinked, and asked:
"The club is…"
Too embarrassed to say it was his own harem palace, Sasaki spoke vaguely. "Mm… it's a club for all of you to interact and get along. It hasn't been established yet, but it won't take long."
"Fuyumi's lovers are enough to create a whole club…"
Tsukimi Chifuyu wasn't the jealous type, and said this simply as an instinctive sigh of amazement.
After all, compared to jealousy, she was more worried whether her lover would neglect or grow cold toward her… just like Takagi had.
Thinking of something unhappy, Chifuyu lowered her eyelids, her small hand gently tugging at the hem of her lover's shirt.
However, looking at her, Sasaki, thinking she was feeling sad because of his playboy ways, caught her little hand and gently rubbed it in his palm.
"Sorry… If Chifuyu feels upset, you can hit me or scold me all you want, but don't leave, okay?"
As he spoke, the boy pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly as if she might disappear in the next second.
Feeling his sincere affection toward her, Tsukimi Chifuyu also reached out to tightly hug her lover's waist, buried her cheek in his chest, gently rubbed against him, and said in a small voice:
"Then… then if I don't leave, Fuyumi won't leave either, right?"
"Mm, I won't. Even if Chifuyu leaves, I'll chase you back."
"Really?"
"Really!"
"Hehe~"
With the worry in her heart finally put down, Tsukimi Chifuyu narrowed her eyes again and smiled foolishly.
Stroking the head of the plump little person in his arms, Sasaki was just about to say something more to deepen their bond when the sound of a door closing came from inside the club.
Knowing that Otome had finished changing, he quickly patted the round, perky bottom of the little person in his arms and whispered close to her ear:
"Otome is coming out."
"Ah!"
Her whole body jolted,
Tsukimi Chifuyu let out a startled cry, bounced away from Sasaki's embrace in a hopping motion, and hurriedly straightened her already neat clothes and skirt.
Seeing her act like a little mistress afraid of being caught by the main wife, Sasaki felt both love and pity.
Helping her smooth her collar, he gave a soft laugh.
"Don't panic, don't panic. Just act normal—Otome won't notice."
"Mm~ Mm!"
