“Owie…”

Next to Yō, Kasumi was stroking her cheeks with tears in her eyes.

Her cheeks must have been pulled too hard by Nagisa.

“Are you okay?”

“…………”

When Yō called out to her, Kasumi turned with a sultry gaze on him.

He didn’t help her, but she looked at him blankly.

It seems to contain such thoughts.

But Kasumi thought she might be able to get him to caress her, so she offered her cheek to Yō.

Then―

“It’s because you keep fighting all the time, you know?”

Yō began to gently stroke Kasumi’s left cheek.

This caused all three of them except Yō to stiffen momentarily.

Kasumi held out her cheek in anticipation, but Yō’s response was surprising, since she had thought it would be nearly impossible considering the situation.

Nagisa hadn’t expected Marin to act like she was adding fuel to the fire when she was right in front of him, and she felt the urge to ask what the hell he was doing.

As for Marin, she felt a bit indescribable when she saw how Yō had spoiled Kasumi.

All three of them had different thoughts, but the one thing they had in common was that they didn’t expect Yō to act this way.

(If I don’t spoil her soon, she’ll definitely go mad…)

Yō noticed that Marin and the others were surprised, but continued to gently stroke Kasumi’s cheek.

Of course Kasumi saw Yō patting Marin’s head, and there was no way Kasumi wouldn’t think nothing of it.

So, before Kasumi’s frustration exploded, Yō decided to release it.

“…………”

As Yō stroked Kasumi, she gradually began to smile languidly.

She then leaned into Yō as if to ask him to stroke her more.

“”…………””

Marin and Nagisa stared silently at the sight in front of them.

Marin was looking at her with a look of envy and loneliness on her face, while Nagisa was beginning to think that she could hit him and he shouldn’t get mad about it.

“You know what―”

[That’s enough.]

She was about to say that, but then a sudden thought crossed her mind and she immediately shut her mouth.

“What’s up?”

When Yō called out to Nagisa, she looked first at Kasumi and then at Marin.

She did some calculations in her head and then slowly opened her mouth.

“You know, if you’re going to go that far, why don’t you do the same thing to one of them as you did to the other?”

Nagisa’s words were simply a whisper of the devil.
