Who wouldve thought theyd turn out like that, huh?

Yup Its a pretty novel scene.

Sakie and Satsuki were closely clinging to each other as they slept in front of Ryuichi and Shizuna. Despite neither of them coming off as heavyweight drinkers, they had drunk at a considerably fast pace, perhaps being carried away by the jovial atmosphere, which led to their current state.

Fufu, ones a college student, and the others a mother They look like theyre sisters.

Well, she does look really young for a mom.

Shes also plenty youthful on the inside, Ryuichi remarked as he laughed. But indeed, as Chisa said, the sight of Satsuki and Sakie sleeping really did make them look like sisters.

As for Shizuna, hearing those words gave her mixed feelings, but she was definitely happy to see the two women getting along like this.

But putting that aside, I think its about time you stop, too, Chisa.

Yep. This ones my last.

Although shed drunk more booze than Satsuki and Sakie, she still seemed plenty sober and looked as if she had plenty of room to spare, just as hed come to expect of her.

Though, she did often come to his apartment in a drunken state, which made him shudder at the thought of how much she mustve drank then.

You know, I think you two really suit each other.

Thank you.

Chisa said those words while gazing at Ryuichi and Shizuna. Shizuna thanked her happily, so it seemed that in a way, Chisa was like an older sister to Shizuna too. Although it hadnt been that long since theyd met, they had exchanged contact information, and Ryuichi knew that they were quite close.

But, Shizuna-chan, are you really okay with this?

Huh?

Chisas slightly serious expression made Shizunas eyes widen in surprise.

Im talking about how even though youve officially become Ryuichis girlfriend, hes still going to continue his relationships with all of us.

Ah, that. Thats totally fine with me In fact, the one thing I dont want to see is you and Satsuki-san leaving Ryuichi-kuns side.

Shizuna closed her eyes and continued speaking as if she was thinking about something.

Chisa-san, you and all the other girls are very important to me, just as you all are important to Ryuichi, even though I met you guys through him. Even if this relationship paradigm isnt right, Im okay with it because I care about you and the others, too.

This time it was Chisa whose eyes widened in surprise at Shizunas words. Ryuichi, who was standing beside her, gave a wry smile at how this was just how she was, but was also amazed at how overly kind she was.

Youre too kind, you silly girl.

Wawa?!

Chisa then hugged Shizuna. Again, Shizuna frowned for an instant at the smell of alcohol from her, but she hugged her back nonetheless, wrapping her arms around her back so that she could feel her warmth.

Both of us have fallen for a pretty troublesome man, huh?

But I think the way he troubles us is also one of his charms.

Yeah Youve definitely got a point there.

Yes.

Did you know, Satsuki; big breasts weigh a ton?

Of course I know that! Thereve been many times Ive had stiff shoulders because of them!

It seemed she knew, too.

She wasnt fully awake and looked somewhat sleepy, but she looked as if she was desperately pleading with Ryuichi to take care of her with her eyes Well, it was a very cute figure.

Ryuichi-kun, I want to kiss yo

Before she could finish those words, Ryuichi stole her lips. Satsukis eyes widened in surprise, but her aggressive side took over as she inserted her tongue into his mouth.

It was hard to imagine from her usual docile self, but it actually wasnt strange for her aggressive side, which she usually kept hidden, to show in full force when she did these kinds of things with Ryuichi.

Its late, you know Well continue this next time.

Ill let you off for today then~ Ehehe.

Satisfied with the kiss she just received, Satsuki giggled and closed her eyes. As she began to breathe peacefully in her sleep, Ryuichi headed to the room where Shizuna and Chisa were preparing the futons.

Ive brought the Sleeping Beauty.

Thanks for helping to carry her.

He put Satsuki, who was still sleeping, on the futon and left the room, leaving the rest to Chisa.

Both of them seemed to have brought a change of clothes with them, but Satsuki had fallen asleep before she could change, to say nothing of Chisa, so he was looking forward to seeing what they would look like tomorrow.

He then made his way to Shizunas room with Shizuna, and once they were alone, she hugged him as if shed been waiting for this moment.

How was today?

It was really fun Its nice, isnt it? To have get-togethers with people like this.

Yeah. I like all the noise and the lively atmosphere, too.

Ryuichi also liked to get together with people he felt comfortable with, no matter the venue. Whether it was at his own home, someone elses home, the club, or anywhere else, it didnt matter.

I hope we can plan another get-together. It was nice to have dinner together with everybody, and I had so much fun just talking and chatting with each other.

I agree. We should meet up again sometime.

Naturally, they had to make sure that everyones schedule aligned with each others and that no one was overburdened wherever they gathered.

Todays event was, in a sense, a celebration for the end of the final exam for Ryuichi and Shizuna, but there was no doubt that everyone had had a great time.

Thus, one of the major events before their summer vacation came to an end, but needless to say, it became one of the most cherished memories for both Ryuichi and Shizuna.

?

Whats wrong?

For an instant, Ryuichi felt something flit by his heart, telling him of a premonition, but he shook his head and wondered if it was his imagination.

Just as hed told Satsuki, it was late at night, so Ryuichi and Shizuna went straight to bed today.

When the two awoke the next morning, they encountered a hellish scene, butthat was a story for another time.
