"Sorry to make you guys worried."
Resting on the bed of the infirmary, Yume apologized to Reina and Akatsuki.
"Why didn't you apologize to me too?" Mizuto felt that Yume was unfair.
However, Yume only rolled her eyes and decided to ignore this bastard.
"It's okay. It's okay."
"Yeah, it's also our fault for not noticing that you are exhausted."
Akatsuki and Reina also felt like they were at fault for not noticing Yume's condition and also somehow ignored Mizuto.
"....." Mizuto.
"To be honest, I am not good at sports, and I haven't rested well."
Somehow, when Yume finished her words, she glanced at Mizuto.
Why did you glance at me?
Mizuto rolled his eyes since she wasn't the one who seduced him with a garter belt. Still, he didn't expect that she would be truthful and told how she wasn't good at sports and how she tried to hide her clumsiness by working hard until late, which caused her not to have much rest.
Hearing this side of Yume, Reina and Akatsuki had to say that this girl was cute.
Still, as the three talked, Mizuto didn't intend to join the girls' conversation as he wasn't interested in it.
"I am going to get a drink."
"Ah, are you going to leave me?"
Yume reached the hem of his sports uniform and asked pitifully.
"I am just going out to buy a drink. Aren't you the big sister? Why are you acting like the little sister now?"
Yume pouted.
"By the way, are you guys fine with Pocari?"
"Eh?" 3x
"Do you like Pocari or not?"
"Well, I like it."
"Um, I like it too."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Mizuto shook his head, then stood up. "Then, I will get a drink first."
"Ah, wait a moment, Mizuto-kun. I am going to buy a drink, too."
As Mizuto and Akatsuki left, Yume, who had cleared up the relationship between Mizuto and Akatsuki (based on her observation), knew that nothing was happening between the two, so she didn't have much thought when they went out together, but somehow Reina felt a doubt.
"What's wrong, Reina?"
"Nothing." Reina shook her head softly. "Is your body fine now, Yume?"
---
"Akatsuki, if you have something to say, then please say it instead of staring at me in silence like that?"
When they walked to the place where there was no one, he started to talk.
Still, Mizuto had to say sometimes this girl scared him, but a human's adaptability was amazing; as he started to get used to her act, he wasn't affected and was still calm even if he faced her stare. This stare might make anyone feel guilty, but not him. Their relationship wasn't formed because the two were in love with each other. Instead, it was because she loved him and was willing to accept that he could be with others, so he didn't think that he had done anything wrong.
Moreover, if he quickly bowed down to Akatsuki's way, in the future, he might be swept away by this girl before being dominated by her, which he didn't want.
Akatsuki pouted slightly as she could see that he was as hard as his erection. Nothing could bend him, and even though she kept staring at him, she knew that he wouldn't do what she expected him to do. Instead, it was she who gave up soon.
"Can you carry me like Yume-chan?"
"Here?"
"Well... when no one is around?"
"No one is here anyway. I don't mind."
Suddenly, Akatsuki felt weightless and floated before she realized that she was carried by him like Yume. She was startled by his sudden action, then looked at him subtly with excitement. "Are you not afraid that someone might see us?"
"Why should I be afraid?"
"I mean... aren't we going to hide our relationship?" Akatsuki asked in doubt.
"Do you want us to hide our relationship?"
Akatsuki blinked her eyes and looked at him in bewilderment at his question, but before she said something, he said, "No one is asking about our relationship anyway, and I feel like I am showing off to everyone if I tell them that I have a cute woman like you by my side."
"You sure are a sweet talker...." Akatsuki was speechless by his words since she knew that he didn't intend to explain and even hide their relationship from everyone, but his ways of explaining somehow made it seem like he had done something great instead of doing something that had wronged her, but she couldn't deny that she was happy by his words, which made her helpless.
Still, it wasn't like she was ready to announce their relationship, as she was sure that Yume might hate her to death if they really did it.
However, if she had to choose between him or Yume, she would choose him without hesitation as it showed how much she loved him.
"Let's do it slowly, then." Akatsuki looked at Mizuto and said, "It would be great if you could convince Yume to accept our relationship."
"You mean me to have a harem with you two?"
"...."
Akatsuki wanted to bite this guy up, but she knew that this was what she had told him before they decided to be together, so she didn't mind. Still, she moved closer like Yume and sniffed his scent. "Though... I have to say that your scent is so good~!" She stuck out her pink tongue, licking his ear, and bit his earlobe gently, causing him to shudder. "Do you want to visit my house tonight~?"
"...you just lost your first time. Let's wait until a few days later."
"Geez, I am fine. Do you want to check it now?"
"Stop it." Mizuto looked at Akatsuki flatly and said, "While I want to hold you, I don't want to mess up our future. You should hold back slightly, Akatsuki."
"I-I know..." She was slightly shaken by his words and apologized, but she would be lying if she didn't feel like she was wronged.
"Don't cry, okay? Here, let me make you feel better."
Akatsuki didn't dodge his kiss and even accepted his kiss eagerly since she wished him to change his mind, making him feel lust toward her. As expected, she succeeded, but—
"Tomorrow, meet me after the driving class."
"Un~!"
While she couldn't get him now, she could get him tomorrow, so everything was good, right?
"By the way, help me carry the bottles of Pocari."
Mizuto put down Akatsuki, and she reluctantly stepped down from him. Still, their action might be bold, but they were kissing in the blind spot and in the corner of the corridor where there was no one, so everything was fine.
Buying the four Pocari for all of them, the two returned, but they somehow felt glad to be separated for a while as Reina came to them. She was completely up as she needed to run around the school to search for them.
"Hey, where have you two been? I have been searching for you two!"
Still facing this question, Akatsuki only smiled since she knew that Mizuto should be able to handle this problem.
"We were looking for Pocari. The nearby vending machine doesn't have them. By the way, Reina, catch!"
"Wh—" Reina was startled, and she also quickly lost her momentum to ask them a question as she needed to catch something thrown by Mizuto. Fortunately, she was able to catch it, but she complained to him. "Don't do this so suddenly!"
"Sorry, sorry. You can have it as my apology."
"..." Reina looked at the bottle of Pocari in her hands and somehow felt like this guy was so sneaky, but due to this act, she could easily accept his treat.
Though Akatsuki glanced at Mizuto and wondered whether he was going to conquer all the beautiful girls in their class, well, she wasn't sure, but she knew she needed to make him crazy about her, so he didn't have time to think about other girls.
Still, when they returned, Yume had become better, and they also didn't waste their time going home.
Mizuto also collected an idea to write his book, but somehow, he had to say he felt like everything was so smooth, except for the fact that Akatsuki and Nami often sent him naughty photos to distract him, making him helpless.
Still, Nami aside, as he wasn't going to go to her house, he was going to spend a night with Akatsuki tomorrow.
Yet, a plan was only a plan.
While Mizuto wished to follow his plan, reality couldn't allow him since Yume was sick the next day.
