Chapter 49

..Youre tired, arent you?

..Ughh..

I successfully made it back alive from the waterslide, which was virtually straight down, but at a very steep angle.

I still have the feeling that I had touched her breasts with all my might, just as Fiana had told me to do during the slide, but unfortunately I dont remember much of the feeling.

(Damn.. What I did was a miscalculation, man.)

Its no exaggeration to say that these days I live to enjoy the softness of the girls Ive come to know, and theyve become inseparable to me.

When Aika and I stare at Fiana, who is playing with her friends, with a smile on her face, she also notices me and looks at me.

..What are you doing staring at me?

No, I just thought you were as beautiful as ever.

Ku..hemm, youre good at flattering.

Its not that Im flattering. Thats how beautiful I still think they are.

But if I cant help uttering flirtatious lines like this, why did I get a nosebleed when I saw Mari and the others in their swimsuits just now.. thats right!

I got carried away. Shall I go back?

Ah.. yeah. You were playing with those girls

Aika looked disappointed when she saw me standing up, but I wonder if this is also a feeling she feels because weve become so close.

Today we met by chance like this, but we both have mutual friends, so we cant leave it at that.

Im jealous that you guys go to the same school. I feel safe in an all-girls school because there are no men there, but..

From my point of view, its an uncharted territory, whats it like to be in an all-girls school?

Really? Its often referred to as a young ladys school, but most of the girls have their legs wide open when they sit down and all they do on the way home is stop at a family restaurant and make a fool of themselves, you know?

..Yeah.

Apparently, the impression I had of a young ladys school is very different.

I thought it was normal to call them Onii-Sama or something like that, and the standard greeting was Gokigenyou.

Yes, some people do say that. Well, maybe only teachers.

..I see. Maria-sama hasnt seen it, has she?

??

Its nothing.

Shaking my head at the pouting Aika, I also spoke to Fiana and left the place.

I was happy that Fiana also looked disappointed, so even for me, it was indeed a pity, but I was still more happy.

Ah, there they..?

None of the three girls had moved from where they were originally, but they were surrounded not only by the three of them, but also by two unknown men.

..picking on them. Well, I know how you feel.

If there is no mans shadow beside these beautiful and stylish girls, it is in a sense reasonable to call out to them.

.. but its not funny

Im not in a relationship with any of them, and Im in no position to complain or give my opinion on what kind of relationship they have with other men.

Still, Ill admit that getting to know them like this has created a kind of possessiveness in me.. although to be honest, I dont feel like Im the only one whos possessive.

Hey, hey, if you dont have a guy, why dont you come with me?

Boring, right? So, you know..

I see, I approached Mari and the others while thinking that it doesnt really matter whether I call out to them like that or not.

I caught you.

It was Saika.

She wrapped her arms around my stomach as she passed her arms under my armpits, and then Saika hugged me tightly.

I felt Saikas skin sticking to my back, and the overwhelming volume of softness on my back, and I instantly felt myself becoming ready for battle.

That was cool earlier. But you didnt come back right away, so youll be punished. Kai-kun is going to be pranked by us like this for a while.

Pranks..

Aka, the blood is gathering in one place due to the feeling of the squishy back.

Im glad Mari and Emu dropped me in the pool, I thought as I was hugged by Saika.. but..

Saika zuru~iii!

Lets go too!

Saika hugged me from behind and Mari and Emu hugged me from both sides, making me even more excited.

However, it seems that God must have punished me for being so energetic in this leisure facility where so many people come to play.

Kai-kun!

Senpai!

They tried to get closer to me, and when they changed their posture slightly, their knees touched my thing.

It was brilliant cross-play. I must have had a look on my face Ive never had on my face before.

!!!!

I was a little relieved to see the three of them worried about me, but still as energetic as ever.

****

While Kai was playing in the pool with some girls he had met, a woman rushed into one of the hospital rooms.

Grandfather!

Hm? Oh, youve come.

The woman breathed out a sigh of relief when she saw her grandfather looking well on the bed, and her expression immediately turned grim.

I was so surprised when I got a phone call out of the blue! He said you had a mild seizure and had an accident.. I was really worried about you!

Im sorry. But as you can see, Im fine, dont worry.

The woman had been in the middle of her work just a few minutes earlier, but the sudden news sent her running out of the house.

Although she had heard on the phone that her grandfather was safe and sound, the woman was really worried, as he was of a certain age.

Here, Grandpa, you should apologise properly. Youve caused your granddaughter so much worry.

Yes, youre right. Im sorry.

..Its all right. As long as youre all right, thats all that matters.

However, the seizures were stabilized because he took the medication, but if there had been some delay, she would have been in a dangerous situation.

For the woman, her parents died when she was young and the only immediate family she can see now is this elderly couple.. so she exhales that she is really glad that he is safe.

Actually, I heard that there was a boy who was by my side when the accident happened.

A boy?

Yeah. He called an ambulance. He was there encouraging me the whole time.

I never heard the boys name or anything about him, so I dont know who he was after all.

However, from both the womans and the old couples point of view, he was definitely someone they wanted to thank.

.. For the time being, Im glad youre safe.

The woman Nayu Konoe finally smiled when she saw the grandfather smiling cheerfully.
