Chapter 257: The Heroine in the Light Novel
Early morning.
Eriri was awakened by the alarm on her phone.
Her eyes hadn't opened yet, but her little head was already groggily lifting up.
(* ´ ﹃`*)
Reality proves that even a bishoujo cannot wake up looking perfectly graceful.
Her long blonde hair cascaded down like a waterfall, with a few rebellious strands sticking out.
At the corner of her pink lips, there was a little bit of drool, which stretched slightly as she lifted her head.
With her eyes still shut, Eriri fumbled toward the direction of the ringing sound.
As a result, she only managed to grab another hand.
The alarm had stopped.
Eriri's groggy mind temporarily stopped functioning.
(。· v ·。) ?
She continued feeling along the hand.
Very quickly, Eriri's small hand landed on a familiar chest.
( ͜ₒ ㅅ ͜ ₒ)ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
The sensation made her heart waver slightly.
Eriri suddenly opened her eyes wide.
The boy's face appeared before her.
"Handsome... wait, no!"
At first, she was a little mesmerized, but she quickly realized something was off.
Eriri felt a little confused.
Why was Yukima Azuma on her bed?
Could it be… night raid!?
But when she felt her legs…
Eriri realized that there didn't seem to be any such feeling.
At the same time—
Yukima Azuma's gaze shifted away from her face.
Eriri finally noticed that the surroundings weren't right.
This didn't seem to be her room.
She tried to recall last night's events.
It seemed like she had woken up in the dark and gone to the restroom.
Then she returned to her room and continued sleeping.
Could it be… she went into the wrong room!?
Upon realizing this, Eriri's face turned slightly red.
(>/////< " )
She was just like the heroine in a light novel, accidentally stepping into a boy's room.
However, she looked once more at Yukima Azuma's side profile.
Eriri: (,,Ծ‸Ծ,, ) Umu... Ikemen da!
Oh well, since it was an accident, she might as well let it be.
She had already been used as Yukima Azuma's hugging pillow many times before, so she was accustomed to being cuddled.
She decided to be bold and continued hugging the boy, wanting to sleep a little longer.
As she lay down, she suddenly noticed a suspiciously damp spot on the boy's chest.
Wiping her mouth, Eriri, slightly embarrassed, reached for a tissue from the bedside table.
She was about to destroy the evidence of her crime!
( ,,⩌'︿'⩌,,)
She gently wiped it away.
Then, Eriri lightly lifted the blanket, intending to check if there were any other traces of her wrongdoing.
As a result, she discovered something strange under the blanket.
Why was it so puffy?
Was Yukima Azuma really that big?
Last time was big but not this big!
A doubtful thought surfaced in Eriri's mind.
And because the blanket had been disturbed—
Another girl, who had been asleep, woke up and emerged from under the covers.
Kato Megumi blinked sleepily.
Looking around, she finally met Eriri's stunned gaze.
Seeing Eriri's wide-open eyes and dazed expression,
Eriri: (⊙ _ ⊙ ) ?
Kato Megumi blinked again.
She quickly recalled last night's events.
"You... you you you!"
Eriri pointed at Kato Megumi, her voice stammering.
There was too much information, too many things to complain about.
But Kato Megumi spoke first:
"Last night, I went to the restroom. I think I entered the wrong room."
"Then why is Sawamura-san here? Don't tell me you also went into the wrong room."
Eriri was dumbfounded by the question.
No!
That was supposed to be her line!
Kato Megumi believed that in this situation, whoever said the words first hadn't to take responsibility.
Megumi: ( • ̀ω•́ )✧
At this moment, Yukima Azuma, who had instinctively reached out to turn off the alarm, finally opened his eyes.
Seeing Yukima Azuma wake up—
Eriri immediately wanted to say something.
Last night, the three of them had slept together like this.
Although nothing had actually happened—
But as Kashiwagi Eri-sensei—
In Eriri's mind, an entire doujinshi about the three of them had already formed.
It could be said that, as expected of an ero-doujinshi artist,
Even her imagination was incredibly vivid and entirely 18+.
But Yukima Azuma spoke before Eriri could:
"Eriri, Megumi, why are you both in my room?"
( ╹ -╹)?
Hearing that, Kato Megumi shot Yukima Azuma a glance in the style of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.
( ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°)
(o_O)
As for Eriri, she stared blankly at Azuma and Megumi once again.
After a long while, she finally murmured in confusion:
"I... I went to the restroom last night and accidentally entered the wrong room."
Hearing that, Yukima Azuma nodded.
"Ah, so that's what happened. It's okay, I won't blame you, Eriri."
After saying that, he even patted the pillow beside him.
"You usually sleep in, Eriri. Since you're already up early today, why not sleep a little longer? It's fine."
Eriri looked at the pillow beside Yukima Azuma.
Then she looked at Kato Megumi, who was still beside Yukima Azuma.
Something wasn't right!
"But Kato-san here... we can't sleep together like this, can we?"
Eriri tried to point out the problem.
Hearing this, Yukima Azuma showed a doubtful expression.
"Why not?"
Eriri was a little surprised; she didn't know whether she should explain this matter or not.
No matter how she thought about it, it didn't make sense!
But before she could say anything, Yukima Azuma continued:
"You see Eriri, you and I have already slept together."
Eriri blushed at this statement!
( //>///<//)
He even had to bring this up!
But, she still nodded.
"And Eriri and Megumi have also slept together."
Yukima Azuma wiggled his finger slightly.
Eriri followed Yukima Azuma's finger.
"This has already happened."
Previously, Eriri, along with Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi, had fallen asleep on the sofa while waiting for Yukima Azuma.
They really had slept together.
Yukima Azuma still kept those photos in his phone album.
At this moment, Yukima Azuma smiled slightly and clapped his hands.
"So if Eriri has already slept with me, and also with Megumi, then there's no problem if we all sleep together now, right?"
Eriri felt her mind go fuzzy.
∘ ∘ ∘ ( °ヮ° ) ?
No problem... huh?
It seemed like there really wasn't a problem?
Her head felt itchy, as if her brain was growing!
In the end, Eriri hesitated but nodded.
Yukima Azuma immediately pulled her back onto the pillow.
"That's right, go back to sleep!"
Breathing in Yukima Azuma's scent—
Eriri's mind became muddled from his body's fragrance, completely giving up on thinking.
This body scent, in reality, was something that, aside from a few exceptionally rare cases, wasn't perceived through the sense of smell but rather influenced by genetics.
When stimulated by the genes of the opposite sex,
Humans could perceive a pleasant scent from the other person's body.
This scent could quickly generate goodwill and attraction.
(note: really??)
At this moment, Eriri completely abandoned all thoughts, acting purely on instinct.
He really smells so good! Sleep, sleep!
Seeing Eriri being coaxed into a daze,
Yukima Azuma's smile grew even brighter.
Indeed, Eriri was really dumb and easy to persuade.
Now that she had agreed to sleep together—
Then the next step would be… Hehe boi~!
(≖⩊≖)
While his mind was wandering,
Yukima Azuma suddenly felt someone pinch his waist.
Turning around—
Yukima Azuma saw Kato Megumi looking at him.
Her expression seemed to say, "What exactly are you thinking?"
(≖ᴗ≖ ✿)
Of course, Kato Megumi knew what Yukima Azuma was thinking.
She just hadn't expected Eriri to be so easily convinced by him.
Looking at things now, it seemed that Yukima Azuma's previous declaration about his harem—
Would definitely be easy to accomplish.
After all, Eriri was aho-baka.
Just a little bit of coaxing and she…!
Kato Megumi shook off the strange thoughts in her head.
She pinched Yukima Azuma's waist again.
Now that she was having these weird thoughts, it was definitely this boy's fault!
…
The early morning passed quickly.
By the time the three of them woke up, it was already close to noon.
When the two girls woke up, they looked at each other.
(✿ʘ‿ʘ)爻(ʘ‿ʘ✿)
In the end, they didn't say anything. Like thieves, they peeked their heads out of Yukima Azuma's room and quickly ran back to their own.
Watching the two leave—
Yukima Azuma smiled in satisfaction.
Then, he got up and walked to his desk.
Pulling open a nearby drawer—
The twin flowers had been carefully placed inside.
"Hey, if you two do something again, be careful or I'll throw you into Tokyo Bay!"
Yukima Azuma spoke seriously.
Immediately, two smol versions of Kaguya and Maki jumped out.
"So what! Isn't everything developing really well?"
(˶˃⤙˂˶)
Star protested.
Star and Lumine claimed to be gods who governed love.
For now, let's not debate whether they were truly responsible for this or not.
At the very least, their hobby was definitely real.
They loved "shipping" couples.
Especially couples with beautiful fates.
If these two were allowed on the internet, they would probably drown in romance novels, became an otaku and never escape.
However, looking at the outcome, everything truly was going well.
It seemed as though Yukima Azuma had benefited from it yet was still pretending to act righteous.
But when it came to these two deities interfering with the actions of the girls—
Yukima Azuma was not pleased at all.
This unnatural influence—
Even if it seemed like a beautiful romance novel, Yukima Azuma didn't want it to be applied to the girls around him.
They were not heroines in a novel.
They should not be manipulated like this.
(Note: Now that I think about it, doesn't Star talk a lot just like Paimon? And Paimon even has the same seiyuu as Kaguya. Meanwhile, Lumine is completely silent, just like Lumine. Hahaha.)
