After eating dinner, everyone changed into their pajamas and we are all here in the living room to watch a horror movie with Blue ray on our large screen TV. I was sitting in the middle of the couch with Yunyun sitting on my right side while Lolisa is in my other side, resting her head in my shoulder. Shizu-nee and Belfast was sitting on a soft floor carpet under my feet and both of them are resting their head in my knees while Fuyumi and Little Bel are sitting them out of fear of the movie.
Shiori was gazing to me with squinted eyes, seeing me surrounded by girls with Kurumi giggling behind her after seeing Shiori's reaction to me.
"The movie is starting already. You two should come here and sit down!" Shizu-nee grabbed both of them in wrist and pulled them down to sit on her side.
"Gyaaaaah!"
When the movie reach the peak part of the story which was the scariest both Little Bel and Fuyumi got frightened and immediately climbed up to me, grabbing my shirt tightly while hiding their faces and trembling in fear. Yunyun seems to be little scared and clung on my arm while Lolisa is yawning from sleepiness. Shizu-nee seems to be enjoying the movie since a cheater guy just died while Belfast has no reaction and always maintains a calm expression.
"That guy deserve it! He should died in a worse way possible!" Kurumi has creepy smile on her face and Shiori saw it which made her pale. After the movie ended, Shizu-nee and Belfast brought the children to their own rooms to sleep and Lolisa who ended up sleeping made me no choice but carry her to her room. Ever since Fuyumi came to the house, I decided to prepare a different room for Lolisa so Fuyumi can be with her mother. Now, Lolisa has her own room and she's sharing it with Kurumi since they are friends again now. I am planning to extend the house in the future so we can make more rooms.
It was already in the middle of the night and I was still awake in my room, reading new books about Magic Item Crafting when someone came knocking at my door. I stood up and opened the door when it was Yunyun who showed while embracing her pillow.
"What is it, Yunyun?"
"Umm... Haru-kun. Can I..." she was embarrassed to say it but I already know what she wants to tell me so I let her inside my room.
"Just come inside."
She entered and sat on the side of my bed, looking around my room which just cleaned by Belfast. I placed the book that I'm reading back to the shelves then I went towards Yunyun and sat on her side.
"Are you still scared to sleep?"
"No, I'm not! It just that..."
I wrapped my arm around her body and embraced her closer to my body.
"Haru-kun..."
"Let's sleep together tonight. Is that alright with you?"
"Yes..."
I can tell from her tone that she was happy. We lied down on the bed together while staring at each other with a smile.
"Goodnight, Yunyun."
"Yes, goodnight too, Haru-kun."
Switching off the light, she moved closer to me and held my right hand with her two hands as she closed her two glowing red eyes and rested for the night. I can still see clearly her adorable face in the dark with my Six Eyes and I touched her bangs with my fingers, watching her sleeping until drowsiness took over me and I fell asleep also.

The next day, waking up in the morning, my body felt something heavy on top of my chest and in my arms when I opened my eyes and saw Shizu-nee sleeping face and she was lying flat on top of me with Lolisa sleeping on my left arm while Yunyun is on another side. I remembered only sleeping with Yunyun last night but I never thought my big sister and little sister had joined with us.
"Goodmorning, Haru-sama."
I didn't notice that the door open and Belfast who just greeted me was together with Shiori and Kurumi who were staring at us.
"Ara Ara~ Haru-san, quite daring aren't you? Sleeping with a lot of girls." Kurumi was making fun of me.
"Haru, you..." Shiori was speechless.
"Shut up! Instead of watching, how about helping me out here?"
"Ufufu~" Kurumi laughed at me.
"Oi!"
"I don't think you need one with that muscular body of yours. You can carry us even the three of us here joined in the bed."
I sighed, hearing Kurumi's words then I activated the Limitless technique to lessen their weight as I sat up, making them wake up.
"Yunyun, it time to wake up. Also, Shizu-nee and Lolisa, you two sneaked up in my bed again!"
"Uuuuu... Haru-kun, good morning." Shizu-nee who looks half-sleep greeted me with a smile.
"Huh?" Lolisa was still sleepy.
"Hehehe--- Haru-kun..." Yunyun embraced me, rubbing her cheek in my chest. It seems like she was still sleeping until she slowly opened her eyes and realized that I was already awake then she looked around, realizing that everyone in the room was staring at her and her face reddened.
"Eh? Why is everyone here?!"
Everyone didn't respond and she covered her face when they just saw her cuddling to me.
"How embarrassing!"
I patted her in the head then I left the bed, stretching my arms for the new day.
"Get up, Yunyun! We'll show Kurumi and Shiori-chan around the town today!"
"Huh? Okay."
Before we circle around the town, we visited the Magic Tool Shop first and I spoke with Wiz about our business deal in the future while Yunyun was looking at the items at shelves with Kurumi and Shiori. Another group entered the shop and it was Kazuma together with his party members, Megumin, Aqua and Darkness. They came to the shop to sell something to help them pay their debt.
"Excuse me, can we sell this here?" Kazuma showed a dark crystal ball in his hands.
"Ah." Megumin saw Yunyun picking up items with Shiori and Kurumi.
"Yoh, Kazuma!" I raised my right hand.
"You're also here, Haru. Everyone is worried that you weren't active that much anymore in the guild. You should visit more often and take more jobs."
"Well, I'm always kind of busy lately. I'll try to visit more often if I get free time."
"Hey, Megumin! Why are looking to me like that?"
Kazuma and I glanced at Megumin who's giving a suspicious glance on Yunyun.
"I hardly can't believe this. Yunyun is hanging out with friends? Just how much have you paid them?"
"How rude! Haru-kun and I are showing them around the town because they are new here!"
"So, you just met them. They are more close to Haru than you who just met them through him. More like a friends of friends."
"But it still closer to friends!" Yunyun was flapping arms when she retorted to her.
Megumin frowned when she gazed at Kurumi and Shiori.
"Just be honest with me! You two are aiming at Haru, right?" she pointed to both of them.
"Ara~, you found me out." Kurumi didn't denied it but Shiori's response was different as she screamed with flustered face.
"I'm not! I just want him to turn me back to normal! That's all! I don't really see him that way!"
"I see... I'm sorry." Megumin apologized.
"Yunyun, you should go and hangout on their house sometimes to visit Megumin." I suggested but Yunyun became shy, poking her index finger together.
"I can't go to other's house so suddenly."
"Even though, Megumin and Aqua already visited us few times."
"But..."
Megumin can't take it anymore and got mad at her.
"You deserve to be alone for being so whiny."
"Eh?" Kazuma was surprised while Aqua reacted as Megumin explained.
"Really?"
"Yunyun is a freak. She thinks her name invites mockery. She always ate her lunch alone in school. I purposely used some petty moves on her but she still come here all cheer up for a fight."
"It's not as bad as you said. I do have friends." Yunyun responded.
"What did I just heard? You have a friend?" Megumin furrowed her eyebrows and she thought Yunyun was trying to lie on her.
"Yes, I do have friends and they are real! Funifura-san and Dodonko-san are both my friends then I bought both of them a meal."
Kazuma together with Aqua and Darkness are shock on how she was being exploited by her classmates in her school.
"That's enough! We don't want to hear anything anymore!"
Megumin and Yunyun talked about how will they duel with each other until Aqua suggested to use the crystal of friendship displayed at the shelves.
Yunyun has provoked Megumin and their duel started by pouring their Mana at the crystal ball.
"Crystal, show me your power!"
The crystal's energy was activated and several holographic screen appeared in our surroundings. Mostly shown in the screen are their memories of the school days until I saw Yunyun in one of the screen sneaking to my room and she picked up my underwear in my dirty laundry then she sniffed it.
"Huh?" my eyes widened in shock and everyone in the store has seen it.
On another screen, she was hanging out in Shizu-nee and Lolisa's room with each of them wearing my shirt and underwear and they are having fun together. I don't mind what they are doing at home but I don't like others seeing them.
"Okay, that's enough!"
When I grabbed the crystal ball, one by one, all the screen disappeared until new ones has emerged.
"What is this?" Kazuma asked, seeing the scenes on all the screen.
In one of the screen was me driving an old model car down hill with ridiculous speed then drifting in every sharp turn without losing much speed until I overtaken a sports car which was new model on the next turn.
"This guy is crazy!"
The next screen was me facing a girl under the old Sakura tree behind the school and I was about to be confessed by her. This memory happened in 3rd year of middle school before I graduated.
*I love you, Shouta-kun!*
*Why me? There's someone else more deserving of your love than me.*
*I want it to be with you. I would not want it to be anyone else.*
*...I'm sorry, but I love Rem.*
*Huh? Who's Rem? I don't remember anyone with that name here in school.*
On another screen, I was in the platform in Circus, standing on top of a pole with one foot while juggling five balls in my right hand and spinning a small plate on the tip of a stick on my other hand. There was tea cup on top of my head filled with hot tea.
"This is ridiculous! How did he even do that?" Kazuma together with everyone can't believe what they're seeing.
The next screen is me trying to cross a thin wire between skyscrapers in the middle of the night and the weather was very bad because of the storm.
*For my little sister's hospital bill, I have to do this!*
Next one was me catching a large tuna with the fishermen in the boat using only a fishing rod.
*Shizu-nee's tuition fee this month is paid!*
Another screen was me wearing a tracksuit with number and I was standing in front of the statue with head turning towards me and a gun shot sounded--
*Bang!*
I immediately crushed the crystal in my hand and the screens surrounded us immediately disappeared.
"Please forget what you seen here. That wasn't real."
