The already quite spacious bed felt a bit cramped at this moment.
That's because the bed, which usually hosted only a solitary, lonely widow, was rather lively today.
Three people, all a bit exhausted from tutoring sessions, were lying there.
The one with the most energy, Hikari, was woken up by the sunlight. After checking his phone, he got up first.
Perhaps Hikari's movements disturbed the others.
Shinomiya and Yukino gradually woke up as well.
Looking at the two beautiful women rubbing their eyes, still half-asleep, Hikari asked, "How was your sleep? Feeling okay?"
Shinomiya stretched lazily while putting on her JK uniform skirt, replying, "Not bad. Honestly, I used to dislike Yukino, this indecent widow, joining the tutoring group. But now, I'm starting to accept her—might even feel a bit lucky about it."
"Otherwise, if it were just me taking the lessons, I'd have probably gotten overwhelmed by too much 'cheese.'"
On the other side, Yukino, who had just put her ring back on her ring finger as per Hikari's instructions, was putting on her black stockings while saying, "My impression of Natsuha-chan has also improved. Her attitude toward studying is actually pretty good."
"But Hikari-kun, with just the two of us in the tutoring group, it still feels a bit insufficient."
"I didn't sleep very well yesterday… my waist… my waist hurts a little."
"Hikari-kun, why don't you find a few more students for the tutoring group?"
"Although I don't have friends in human society, I do occasionally keep in touch with some female demi-human friends. Should I ask them?"
Indeed, snow women's perspectives differ quite a bit from those of humans.
At first, Shinomiya was jealous of Yukino and didn't want Hikari to have more women around.
But knowing she couldn't handle things alone, she began to grudgingly accept Yukino's presence.
As for Yukino, she didn't mind much from the beginning.
Though her deep affection for Hikari did make her jealous, she didn't oppose him finding others to share the burden. She even considered introducing her demi-human friends proactively.
After all, Hikari's stamina and capabilities were becoming more and more terrifying.
Seeing both women urging him to expand the tutoring group, Hikari smiled and said, "Alright, I'll think about it when there's a chance. Stop pressuring me."
"But are you two still half-asleep? Why are you putting on clothes so quickly? You haven't even showered, have you?"
Hearing Hikari's words, Shinomiya and Yukino realized their mistake.
After last night's tutoring, the two had made significant progress in their relationship, even softening enough to tentatively consider each other as sisters.
To celebrate, they had popped several bottles of champagne and devoured a few cream puffs together.
Now, their bodies weren't entirely clean, yet they had already started dressing.
"Oh no! We forgot."
"Now we have to change again."
Seeing the two women's distressed faces, Hikari reached out and pulled them into his arms from both sides. "Let's go, take a shower first."
In Hikari's warm embrace, the two women immediately cheered up, smiling happily.
After some playful splashing in the bathroom, the three finally got clean.
Yukino stayed behind to clean up the mess left from last night's champagne party, while Hikari and Shinomiya headed to school together.
Walking arm-in-arm with Hikari, Shinomiya radiated energy. Her fair and beautiful cheeks were slightly flushed, exuding a vibrant and refreshed demeanor.
Clearly, being personally fed by Hikari, who had master-level cooking skills, had left her very satisfied.
Of course, it was also because she had Yukino, a strong teammate, to share the load. Otherwise, she might have ended up stuffed to bursting.
Seeing Shinomiya's radiant smile, Hikari ruffled her head and asked with a chuckle, "Will you dare to wear a thong again in the future?"
Shinomiya covered her bottom and shook her head, pleading, "No, I won't dare anymore."
But though her words were compliant, her beautiful red eyes sparkled with a mischievous light.
Clearly, the next time she competed with Yukino for attention, she might plan another playful stunt.
Hikari didn't dwell on it.
As he walked, he scanned his surroundings, hoping to encounter some respawning wild blonde-haired minotaurs.
But today, his luck was average. There didn't seem to be any minotaurs on the way.
However, upon entering the school gates, three delinquent gyaru girls coincidentally surrounded him.
Looking up, Hikari recognized the familiar trio— Reina, Yukino, and Ruri.
Before Hikari could speak, Reina took the lead, asking, "Hikari-kun, where have you been these past few days?"
"You've been so hard to find—we've waited for you so many times."
The other two gyaru also stared at Hikari.
Before he could reply, Shinomiya clung to his arm and pouted, "These past few days? Hikari-kun has been helping me with tutoring."
Hearing this, and seeing how close Shinomiya was to Hikari, the three gyaru felt a pang of jealousy.
"Hikari-kun, we want tutoring too. When will you have time for us?"
Shinomiya sneered, "You gyaru who never study seriously want Hikari-kun's tutoring? Dream on. You just want something weird from him."
"You'd better stay away from Hikari-kun and stop distracting him from studying."
Hearing this, the gyaru retorted, "And you think your tutoring sessions are serious? You just want to ogle Hikari-kun's body. Shameless!"
Their bickering escalated into a battle of words, with all four girls pressing closer to Hikari.
Hikari felt like a poor little sausage surrounded on all sides.
But in the eyes of the onlookers, this scene was sheer bliss.
Male students passing by burned with envy, while female students found the situation a headache.
Among them, Nanao Akane hesitated with a milk tea in hand, her feelings for Hikari surging as she resolved to confess her love.
Unaware of her approach, Hikari suddenly felt his "pure love radar" activate. Spotting the alert, he pushed past the four girls, running toward the nearby grove to intercept the danger.
"Where's he going?" the girls shouted in confusion.
Hikari called back, "Bathroom emergency! You head to class first."
Hearing Hikari's words, the four girls immediately breathed a sigh of relief—at least Hikari wasn't angry.
However, they quickly realized something.
"Hikari-kun, the bathroom is over there."
"Yeah, Hikari-kun, you're going the wrong way. If you don't know the way to the bathroom, Reina can take you there."
"Hikari-kun, with your size, it must be inconvenient to go to the bathroom alone. Yukino can help you hold it."
"Hikari-kun, pee in Ruri's mouth." [T/N: 😮]
Originally, the four beautiful girls were each speaking up, trying to make Hikari stay.
But when they heard what Ruri said, the other three instantly turned their heads in unison, staring at the seemingly pure and innocent white-haired twin-tailed girl.
Shionomiya Natsuha: "Unbelievable."
