Kasuga Hina and Akizuki Sakuya and Approach Time

At night, after we hiked down the mountain again, we returned to the large area in front of the inn. I was forced to tag along with Ooba, who I should have no connections with.

“Kujou!”

“Y-Yes! What…” Oh crap, my voice shook. “ Cough , yes, what is it…?”

“I mean, we may be in different groups, but we’ll still sleep together, yeah?”

“Ah, y-yes, that’s right…”

Even if I’m talking with a loner, I’m using polite language towards a classmate…

“So, we all talked it out, and decided to sleep in the tents, so let’s go set them up!”

“Eh?”

“Hm?”

“We all talked it out?”

“Yeah!”

Now hold on? Who is we? Is he speaking French? I wasn’t part of that conversation! Doesn’t he realize that he may sound gentle, but he is actually saying something horrendously cruel. That being said, since they already decided on it, arguing this late into the game won’t do anything.

Tagging along after Ooba, I looked through the guidebook, and…Ah, found it. This is the plot of the facility. There’s a training office in the east of the inn, and a large place south of this. To the west was a gym hall, and a large outdoor cooking area. To the north were residential buildings A and B, as well as the showering building, and beyond the residential buildings was the campsite. On a side note, the south of the main building also had a campsite, but that was for normal customers, not a group of students like us.

“So, why are you two following me, Kasuga, Akizuki?”

“I wanted to help you, Shizuki-kun.”

“I was just following you since you were walking ahead, you know?”

“I understand Kasuga’s reason, but Akizuki…I’m not your mother or anything, and you’re not a small chicken following mother bird, right?”

“~~~! Sniff, I can’t believe you would say something like that…”

Ehhh…Don’t glare at me with tears in your eyes, will you…All these parts of Akizuki that aren’t visible to other people are just far too difficult to understand.

“Kasuga, I just realized, but Akizuki clearly doesn’t know how to keep proper distance from other people.”

“Ahhh, yeah…Sakuya-chan! This is what I mean! I’m sure that once you have your university debut, you’ll make friends!”

“High school is already a lost cause, is what you’re saying…” I commented.

“Leaving that comment aside, if I did that, I would surely fail…Going for a university debut as a loner is basically begging for me to mess up…”

“Probably off-topic, but where are Aramiya and Chisaka-senpai?”

“Remi-chan took care of her belongings with friends. Well, she’ll stay in the room of our club, and not with her friends though.”

“Chisaka-san is the same. Her friends helped carry her luggage to our room. Well, she’ll stay in so on and so forth.”

“Hold up, don’t just shorten Kasuga’s sentence like that.”

Oh yeah, that reminds me.

“So after Aramiya and Chisaka-senpai decided to participate in the outdoor school, they dragged their friends into it?”

“A-Ahaha…Phrasing is a bit off, but they probably thought the more the merrier.”

That’s when Ooba stopped in his tracks, as he walked ahead of us—Ah, we reached the camping site, huh. Also, it’s obvious of a conclusion, but all the boys from that Ooba group that I’m bad with are present as well…

“Alright, we have Kujou here, so let’s put up the tent!”

““““Aye sir!””””

“A-Aye sir…”

“Ahh, Shizuki-kun awkwardly joining in is so cute~”

Now then, setting up the tent is one thing, and probably pretty difficult, but we have the guidebook helping us. With a bit of time, it definitely isn’t impossible.

“Hey, hey, Shizuki-kun, let’s put it up together, okay?”

“Don’t wanna. I need my own space.”

“Ehhhh…”

Alright, now Kasuga shouldn’t interfere much with me. So after that…Ooba and the others were talking while setting up the tents, causing a ruckus. I may have avoided Kasuga, but they ended up talking to me…And at the same time, Akizuki and I opened up the tents—

“—Mm.” I pushed the pole half-way through.

“—Yes.” Akizuki took care of the other half.

Alright, library bodies together strong.

“—Mm.” Akizuki put the endpin into the pole.

“—Yup.” I understood her words, and did the same with my end.

Alright, alright, everything is going well now.

“—Okay.” I put the inner tent and pole together.

“—Yes.” She did the same.

Heh, loner language really is the best. It prioritizes time over effort. But of course…

“No no no no! What was that even!? Why was your exchange so smooth despite not saying anything!?”

“It’s actually pretty simple, you know?”

“Yes, by memorizing the procedure, and showing the other person what you’re doing, it’s not that hard.”

And as we were having this conversation, Hirahara-sensei approached us…

“Hmmm…”

“Hirahara-sensei, what’s wrong?” Akizuki muttered.

She inspected the tent we built up, as well as the tents of the other groups.

“As a teacher, I should probably praise the two of you for putting up your tent this quickly, at least compared to the other groups, but normally…wouldn’t you be a bit more lively during that? Why not just…talk? If you don’t talk, it sure doesn’t feel like an outdoor school.”

“But, we’d be scolded if we did, right?”

“That still includes it. Both the side scolded and being scolded doesn’t take it too seriously either.”

“That sure sounds off coming from a teacher…But, it’s not that we aren’t talking, we just can’t.”

“I-I see…So, aren’t you going to help them, Kasuga?”

“Well don’t mind if I do!”

Hirahara-sensei, stop meddling with my business!

****

We succeeded in putting up the tent. Without exaggerating or anything, I think that Kasuga, Akizuki, and I did about 70 to 80 percent. Yet, all the normies were currently inhabiting them!

“Yay! Takaishi pulled the joker!”

“Seriously, lol? Got done in by Koide~”

“I remembered where you put it! Had to be the second from the left, right!”

S-So annoying…Even though they didn’t participate in the setting up of the tent, only talking with others, they’re now using up 90% of the tent, playing Old Maid…My god…these guys probably don’t even have any bad intentions with that either. But wait, wouldn’t doing something evil without intention make things even worse? On a side note, I was occupying the corner of the tent, playing chess. My enemy? Of course I don’t have that. Naturally, that meant…

“Kujou! Thanks for helping out just now!”

“O-Ooba…san.”

“Hey now, don’t add the ‘san’!”

“O-Okay.”

“So, what are you doing?”

“P-Playing chess…”

“Hm? You can play that alone?”

“Eh?”

“Eh?”

“A-Ah…well…Did you never play DuelMas or Yugioh alone?”

“I’m starting to get really confused here…”

“Um…Well…the decks generally are an even number, so if you split the cards, and adjust the number of cards…or the HP in Yugioh…”

“W-What happens then?” Ooba swallowed his breath, looking at me in excitement and anticipation.

……Eh?

“What happens then? Y-You can play it alone.”

“Why not invite some friends over?”

“Where do I find friends to invite over?”

“………”

“………”

“W-Well, anyway! You’re playing chess on your own, right?”

“Y-Yes…After moving my own white piece, I move the black piece…also myself.”

“H-Huh…”

“The trick is to move every piece in a different way so that it doesn’t end up with a mirror match-up.”

“R-Right…”

So awkward! Even that normie Ooba, on the level of Kasuga, is showing an awkward smile. Come on, just hurry up and go back to playing Old Maid.

“Ooba! We finished the third round!”

“What should we play next~?”

Why are you speaking so loudly and listless even though you’re sitting close together?

“I was thinking of maybe asking Kujou about Kasuga…”

“Huh?”

““““Ohhh! Sounds good!””””

“Since Kujou’s here, we gotta use that!”

““““Yeah!””””

What…is with these guys? Are they drunk? We’re still in high school, what is this drinking party tension…Well, not like I would know.

“Before that, maybe we should introduce ourselves.”

“Then, you can have a go, Ooba. You’re closest with Kujou.

Eh, we were close!? Also, you still introduce yourself despite that!? Isn’t that a contradiction!?

“Name’s Ooba Masamune. I’m the club president of the soccer club. Let’s get along!”

Getting a closer look at Ooba…Yeah, he really is handsome. He had brown hair, with the looks of a mens model. By the way, his voice is also quite cheerful.

“Koide Nobunaga. Nice to meet you! I’m a regular at the baseball club.”

He had a very short undercut hairstyle. The advisor of the baseball club probably told him to keep his hair short. Despite that, his hairstyle was screaming normie. If Ooba’s voice was cheerful and bright, then Koide’s voice was just loud, and possibly annoying.

“Nakao Hideyoshi. Part of the tennis club. My hobby is cooking. Nice to meet you.”

What do you call it? Casual short hair? No, it doesn’t seem casual. His hairstyle looks a bit more hard to pull off with wax and all that. Also, why does Nakao have such a high voice that sounds like a girl’s shriek?

“Takaishi Ieyasu. Part of the basketball club, my hobby is watching movies! Nice to meet ya!”

Takaishi has his hair all pushed backwards, which makes it easy to remember. Not to mention that he has more orange than brown hair. By the way, his voice is a bit high for a guy’s voice.

“Asaka Souji. I’m part of the—”

“A-Are you in a sports club as well as the other four…?”

“No, the light music club.”

“R-Right…”

I was wrong…Asaka had a so-called mush hair, using a bit of wax. He has a Yonezu Kenshi1 hairstyle, if that helps, and his voice is a bit husky.

“I-I’m Kujou Shizuki. Um…well, I’ll be sleeping with you. My hobbies are reading books, playing games, or browsing the internet.”

“So, did you already do it with Hina?”

“Huh!?”

Koide, this guy…What is he asking me right after my introduction!? Ah, he’s the guy who was like ‘I want a girlfriend’ to which the others were like ‘You’re only aiming to do lewd stuff, right?’, I remember!

“Koide, that’s pretty rude to ask right off the bat, alright.” Nakao complained.

“Sorry about him, okay?” Asaka showed a smile as he apologized.

“N-No, it’s fine…”

“Welp, that’s why you’re still a virgin, Koide!”

“Takaishi! I won’t forgive you today!”

Eh!? They’re having a fight in such a place!? Stop that! Keep it down! At least don’t involve me! If you do, you’ll rob my precious time from me!

“W-Wait a second! I don’t mind at all. And, we haven’t done it, but we did sleep next to each other, so Koide-san isn’t at fau……lt…Huh?”

Why are those five staring at me like that? It’s like they’re impressed, or admiring me…?

“Kujou…You slept with Hina?” Ooba asked.

“Huh?”

I mean, we did sleep together, but actually not really. It’s more like we were both sleeping separately, just on the same bed…And you know…But, before I could say that…

“““““Woooooooooooooo!!”””””

“Huh? Eh?”

Um, what!? What just happened!?

“Not bad, Kujou! You might just graduate from being a virgin at this rate!”

“Koide, you immediately jump on that, lol.”

“No no no, Takaishi, that’s something amazing.”

“It’s just as Nakao said, we’re all inexperienced, so it’s like the final boss suddenly joined us.”

“Asaka, don’t just reveal the fact that we’re all virgins, lol.”

So even Ooba has no experience? Oh man…I’m feeling sick. I’m bad with this kind of talk…Not to mention that I’m not going out with Kasuga for her body…

“No seriously, I feel nothing but respect for you!” Koide said.

“Well, you’re the one who has made the most progress out of all of us, I guess,” said Asaka.

“Also, just ignore Koide’s comments, lol.” Takaishi commented.

“That’s just Kujou quality, you know?” Nakao grinned.

“Man, I’m glad that I became friends with Kujou~”

“Huh? Friends?”

“““““Eh?”””””

“Eh?”

“““““……”””””

“W-Well, rather than friends, we’re like best buddies, right!?”

“““““Woooooooo!!”””””

T-That was close…! You know, Aramiya called us friends, and we’ve already been in the same club for about a month, so it’s somewhat justified. However, when it comes to Ooba and others, we never really spend that much time together. And even if I disregarded all of that, is it really that simple to just become friends with others? I feel a bit worried. Of course, not about them becoming my friends. It’s more that I personally don’t see them as my friends.

That’s why, the worry I have is more towards them being way too vague with their communication towards other people, and that they’ll suffer from that in the future. Well, that’s why I’m a loner, and these aggressive people are normies. Even though it would be much better to slowly build up human relationships.

****

I finally did it! I managed to run away from those American party-goer people! It’s currently 8pm, and perfectly night, so the mountain was illuminated in darkness. Although it’s still early summer, the lonely cicadas were chirping through the silence, and the leaves shook from a faint nightly breeze. If I were to give it an example, it was like a young child singing. I bet I can get some good sleep.

Looking outside from the hallway mirror, the moon, as well as the bright stars filling the wide sky, were in perfect sight. When I think of these ancient stars shining their light in the sky, as well as the moon bringing its light down on us, this night suddenly feels a lot more gentle.

But more importantly…Normally 8pm would have been the time for everybody to take a bath, but I instead decided to wait until the boys were all out. I do feel bad for not respecting the schedule, but taking a bath with everyone is just far too stressful for me. I took off my clothes, put them into the basket, and opened up the sliding door to the outdoor bath…

“Ohh, I’m alone!”

Being able to use the outdoor bath alone is something that even a loner like me gets excited about. Alright, washing my hair, washing my body, it’s time for the bath.

“Phew…my muscles are healing…”

“You’re right.”

“Ahh, I’m so tired from all the hiking.”

“Same here.”

“……”

“……”

“Eh?”

“What?”

Hidden behind the wall, I couldn’t fully see her, but it was most definitely Akizuki Sakuya, the lonesome beauty, taking a bath.

“Why are you here, Akizuki!?”

Ah, I see. While washing my hair and body, I was looking at the mirror which acted as a wall, so I couldn’t see who was at the bath.

“That’s my phrase. Why are you here this late?”

This woman…Although her face is a bit red, she’s not even trying to hide her body? Even her snow white skin, her well-formed chest, her neck, and her thighs hidden inside the water, it was all in plain sight. I was forced to avert my gaze. Even if Akizuki doesn’t care, I sure do.

“Well, um…I didn’t want to take a bath with others, so I purposefully waited until now…What about you, Akizuki?”

“Same here. Although we’re the same gender, I didn’t want anybody else to see my naked body…”

“And yet at this very moment, I’m here, someone from a different gender…”

“I am indeed a bit embarrassed…But, we’re library buddies, right? That’s why, I don’t feel like there’s any problem.”

“Akizuki, are you being serious right now?”

“What do you mean…”

“Your sense of distance towards other people is bugged…”

“How rude. Even if it may be, it’s not that bad. Just a bit, really.”

Uuuum…What should I do now? I never took a bath together with a female classmate, so I have no idea. For now, I washed my body, so that should be enough, right…

“—If you try to run away, I’ll scream, okay.”

“Wouldn’t it normally be the opposite? You should scream if I get too close, yeah?”

“Hm? I don’t mind you getting closer though.”

“Ehhhh…”

“Let’s do the same thing that you always do with Kasuga-san.”

“That’s right, I have a girlfriend, so I can’t do something like this with another girl.”

“So you won’t stay with me? I’ll scream.”

“You’re threatening me.”

“That doesn’t matter, I want you to stay with me. We’re library buddies, remember?”

“Damn it…I can’t have you scream here…So, what do you mean with the same as with Kasuga?”

“It’s simple. Two people taking a bath just so happened to be sitting close together.”

“…Alright, I guess that’s doable…”

So, both Akizuki and I used pretense to deal with the situation, and took a bath together. Since I couldn’t look at the naked Akizuki, and also because I didn’t want her to see me naked, we sat back to back. Ahh…I can even feel the warmth of her back…Why did things have to end up this way?

“Just to confirm this one last time, but that threat you uttered just now…was that serious?”

“Of course. But, even if your evaluation dropped lower than being a normal loner, I won’t cast you aside, so don’t worry.”

“Scary!”

Is Akizuki actually just some crazy nutjob? She feels a bit different than a yandere. She doesn’t physically hurt me, and isn’t actually acting cute towards me either. Of course, she may be a bit more open towards me than other people, but there’s a clear difference.

“So, Kujou-kun.”

“Huh?”

“You won’t betray me, right?”

“So heavy! Where did that come from?”

“You were having a lot of fun with Ooba-kun and the others, right?”

“Yeah, well, leaving aside how I felt, they were treating me as friends at least.”

Just because you are bad at dealing with those people doesn’t necessarily make them evil. The world may hold them in high regard, and there’s people who you’re perfectly fine with, but are treated as bad people. It’s something you can’t ever forget. As for what I’m basically trying to say, it’s that I’m aware that although I can’t deal with Ooba and others, they’re definitely not bad people. Rather, it’s the exact opposite.

“You’re my ally, my library buddy, and a fellow loner, right?”

“R-Righto…”

So heavy! Why does she think so heavily of us!

“Heh.”

“W-What’s wrong?”

“Do you remember the goal of this outdoor school that Hirahara-sensei told us about?”

“Being put into an environment that requires communication with strangers, we are to strengthen our spirit of cooperation, and learn the importance of our friends…something along those lines?”

“It’s us who scorn this idea, right?”

“Not scorn, but…Yeah, I don’t necessarily agree with it.”

“And yet, you get along with Ooba-kun and the others, right?”

For a moment, I envisioned myself during the time I was treated as a friend of the Ooba group. A future where I was with friends, an energetic and chaotic group, and not by myself…Ahh, what a waste. Losing one’s freedom for the price of friendship.

“I gotta be careful. I can’t have the school get the things they want from this outdoor school. I don’t mean to make fun of friendship, but I prioritize my own freedom.”

“……”

“My time, my space, my pace, they’re all precious to me.”

“That’s the King of Loners Kujou-kun for you.”

“Are you praising me?”

“Of course I am. I do like your determination towards your own path as a loner.”

“Really now.”

“By the way, Kujou-kun.”

“What is it now?”

“Why are you in the women’s bath?”

“Huh? This is the men’s bath.”

“Didn’t they have the curtain hung up?”

“By the time I came over, there were no more curtains…But, how did you know that this is the women’s bath then?”

“Because I saw the employee when they took off the curtains.”

“………”

“So, if you don’t want me to scream, you better stay here, okay?”

Oh crap, I have no right to refuse anymore. It seems like I’m in the women’s bath right now. And, Akizuki Sakuya spotted me during that time. And now, she’s got me locked up with that condition. I need to do something in order to gain control over this situation again…! But, right as I was thinking that, the lights in the bath turned off.

“Kya! K-Kujou-kun!”

“Wait, Akizuki! Calm down! Don’t cling to me while you’re naked!”

The situation has gotten even worse now! Akizuki was butt naked, clinging to my back! Of course, her chest is hitting me, and I can feel the hard tips on her breasts!

“B-But…”

“No no no, it’s just because we’re already way past bathing time, the employee must have turned off the lights.”

“But…I’m scared.”

“…Akizuki?”

Is she…shaking? Or, maybe she’s crying a bit? Ahh, I see. I finally get it. If I were to give it an example, then Akizuki would be like a small child, like a kindergartener or grade school student. She doesn’t know how to keep a proper distance from people, and her mindset is also quite young still. How do you raise someone to become like that?

“For now, let’s hold hands, and leave together. Be careful with your feet, okay?”

“Y-Yes…thank you…”

****

I’m standing between two choices. I can stay away from the normie squad in the tent if I continue to take a bath with Akizuki. Or, I can pick the rational choice and return to the normie squad, leaving Akizuki behind…Ahhh, my head hurts. Well, I have to go back either way at some point, so the logical decision would be to pick the latter and go back now, but…I can’t just go for a walk all night, so…I unwillingly returned to the tent.

“Wooo, Kujou! You’re late!” Koide greeted me.

“While you were out, we went to the girls’ room!” Takaishi proudly declared.

“T-The girls’ room, huh…”

Are those guys serious…This couldn’t feel more like youth…Visiting the girls’ room, creating memories, whereas the loners are on 5chan most of the time. Seeing those normies in front of me, I can’t help but…Wow, it feels unreal. I can’t respect but also not look down on them, simply nod along.

“But, Hina wasn’t there.” Nakao commented.

“W-Why are you telling me about that?”

“I figured you’d be curious.” Asaka spoke gently.

“R-Really…”

“What’s wrong? Are you not curious?” Ooba spoke friendly.

“Eh? Curious?”

“““““Eh?”””””

“……”

“““““……”””””

“I mean! Kasuga and I were on a rendezvous, so of course she’d be out!”

“““““Wooooooooooooo!!”””””

Gaaaaah! I feel like I dug myself a really deep hole there! I don’t mean to brag, but they definitely got the wrong idea because of that! What will Kasuga ask of me now that I made up this lie…

“Oh, it’s time for lights out.” Ooba said, as all of them snuggled into their sleeping bags.

“Ah, so you’re respecting lights out time!”

Alright, this is great news! I’m pretty exhausted from all the hiking, so sleeping now will get me a good eight hours of sleep! So even normies can’t win against lights out time! Or win against an all-nighter! However…

“Haha! You say some funny stuff, Kujou!” Koide burst out laughing.

“We’re just waiting until the teacher is gone, lol.” Takaishi grinned.

“I figured as much~”

Can’t help it. It’s a bit forceful, but I’ll just act like I’m asleep once the teacher is gone! So for that, I snuggled into the sleeping bag…Huh? Something solid is at the lower end of my sleeping bag…

“— Staaaaare .” Kasuga was hiding inside my sleeping bag, wearing only her underwear, as she looked up at me.

“Eeek!?”

Crap, I let out a voice! Also, where did that voice even come out of!?

“What’s wrong, Kujou?” Ooba asked.

“No, nothing! I just saw a G crawling around in my sleeping bag!”

“Oh damn, you’re so funny, Kujou!” Koide held his stomach as he laughed.

“You’ve been hilarious all day!” Takaishi slammed his hand on the ground repeatedly.

“Yeah, I really don’t feel like switching with you though.” Nakao showed a bitter smile.

“So, where did that G go?” Asaka asked calmly.

“D-Don’t worry, it just flew outside the tent!”

“I see…Ahh, I’m glad. Then, let’s keep acting like we’re asleep.”

Ehhh…So I have to go inside the sleeping bag after all? No matter how much I thought about it, no matter how much I wrecked my brain, I found only despair, so I gave my body into Kasuga’s hold. And then, using her smartphone’s memo pad…

‘Ehehehe~ Good evening, Shizuki-kun~’

At the same time, I joined in.

‘What are you doing, Kasuga?’

‘I knew that Ooba-kun would go over to Mai and Eri’s place, so I thought that it’d just be the two of us here, but you weren’t there. Then, divine intervention hit me, telling me that I should just hop into your sleeping bag and stay there until you get back!’

“Like hell you got some message from God like that!”

“W-What’s wrong, Kujou…? Why are you screaming like that…?”

“Ah, no…I’m sorry…I was just having a weird dream…”

‘Shizuki-kun, if you scream like that, everybody will find out, you know?’

‘That means I have no way out of this situation, right…’

‘Yup yup, so let’s sleep together, Shizuki-kun!’

‘Impossible! I’ll definitely make it out of this situation!’

‘Ehhhh? There’s no way though? Also, it’ll cost you a lot of time just trying something, you know?’

‘Grrr…’

‘So, figured out something?’

‘Sigh…Yeah, I guess there’s nothing…’

‘Yup yup!’

I’d think that this is far too quick for me to give up, but there really isn’t much for me to do…Well, I’ll just give her a punishment once tomorrow rolls around.

‘So, typical for an outdoor school, let’s talk about something! Well, write, I guess.’

‘Don’t wanna.’

‘Ehhhhhh!?’

‘At times like these, loners would want to sleep as quickly as possible. I’ll allow you to sleep next to me, but no more than that, alright?’

‘Okaaaay…Ah, but.’

‘?’

‘Since we’re sleeping next to each other, I want to hug you lots, and although patting you on the head is impossible, I’ll pat you on the back lots~’

‘Huh?’

‘Shizuki-kun, I love you! I love you so much! Let’s get married soon!’

There, Kasuga put her phone away, but…Eh? She’s hugging me inside the sleeping bag!? A pleasant scent is drifting up from her hair! Not to mention the scent of body soap! Her perfume is making my head spin…! On top of that, her body is so soft! Just because she’s a different gender than me, her body is much softer than mine! N-Not to mention that…her breasts are hitting…me…

****

“Wooooo! Ooba! Look, look!”

So loud…is that Koide?

“Nakao! Asaka! This is crazy!”

Even Takaishi’s voice pierced my ears. Why are they so excited this early in the morning?

“Mm…Shizuki-kun, it’s so noisy…”

“Ah.”

“Mm? …Ah! I’m outside the sleeping bag! …Maybe because it was too hot, tehe~”

Crap! This is clearly an out, right!? A girl stayed in the boy’s tent? Not only the teachers, even Ooba and the others were not supposed to find out! However…

“Um, this is…!”

“Don’t, Kujou!” Ooba stopped me.

Ahh, I see. I guess even making up excuses won’t work anymore. Yeah, since Kasuga slept here, there’s no way to get out of it…So, I guess it’s time to get kicked out of school, huh…

“Everyone, don’t tell the teachers about this, alright?”

“Huh? Ooba-san?”

“Come on, don’t worry. Outdoor school is like the second most exciting event after the school trip, so chill. We’re all boys here, we get it!”

“Excuse me?”

“Yeah. Doing it with other boys sleeping next to you, as a boy I can’t help but admire that!”

“Koide, Hina’s here, so maybe hold back a bit?” Nakao commented.

“But, this means that Kujou ain’t a virgin anymore, right!”

“Takaishi, if you don’t want to be called gross by the girls, you should probably shut up now,” said Asaka.

“Why is…everyone…”

“I told you, right? We’re boys, so we get it.”

“It’s just as Ooba said, we don’t plan on being honor students or something like that. Right, Asaka?”

“Yep, we’re going to karaoke or game centers late at night. We even did it back during grade school when we weren’t supposed to.”

Eh, hold on!? They didn’t even see it as a problem!?

“In fact, we even snuck past the teacher to visit the girls again last night. Right, Takaishi?”

“Yup yup. Both Koide and I broke the rules several times, so you don’t need to be such an uptight idiot, Kujou.”

Is this…is this the power of normies!? Aren’t you a bit too forgiving!? Is this really okay!? Are they used to playing around!? If this gets found out, we’re talking about expulsion! Be honest with me! I don’t get it! This is just weird! I know I’m being insulting, but this doesn’t make sense! But, that is the value system of normies, I guess…

“Phew…”

“But, I have two conditions.”

“W-What is it…?”

“Drop the polite language.”

“Y-Yes! I mean, yeah.”

“And the second one is…”

“Second one is?”

“Let us call you master.”

“Ehhh…?”
