“Please, Juri-nee. Take her away.” Satsuki delightfully said as she watched her sister weaken under that hold.


    “Eh? Juri? Stop… dragging me! I still have a lot of things to do.”


    Still like a paralyzed kitten that was being dragged away by its mother, Setsuna sprawled powerlessly on the ground. All she could do was talk.


    “Yeah. Like finishing that project that we have to submit thising Monday. You’ve yed enough. It’s a great idea toe here with you or else, you won’t do anything.”


    Just like that, Satsuki and I watched as her troublesome sister disappeared into their room.


    That was the first time I got to look closely at that friend of hers. I guess she’s not just all looks. She had a strong grip and her strength couldn’t be scoffed out. She easily dragged Setsuna away after all.


    A whileter, Satsuki sighed as we returned inside the room. Kanzaki naturally inquired what happened while Sakuma silently looked at Satsuki, perhaps waiting for her if he’s already allowed to leave.


    The guy couldn’t wait to run to his owner.


    Aya gently smiled as she edged closer at me as soon as we sat back down. I reached for the girl’s hand under the kotatsu once more as some sort of appreciation for what she did.


    Kanzaki stopped suspecting us so it’s a job well done for the girl.


    20 minutester, we finally gave Sakuma what he wanted as the guy instantly ran outside, or rather, to Setsuna’s room.


    Since we knew that they’re finishing a project at the moment, we watched Sakuma getting kicked out of that room, not a minute after entering it.


    I thought he would be downhearted but the guy had a grin on his lips as if he won a lottery.


    The mystery about that was easily solved when I asked him. The idiot was sent out to buy something at the convenience store for the two girls inside that room.


    That’s why he hurriedly went downstairs.


    Before leaving the front door, I somewhat heard his voice as he excused himself to Satsuki’s father.


    He was asked if our group study already ended and like I instructed him before going down, he said ‘not yet’.


    I instructed him to lie like that for the sake of staying longer in this room or this house. Although that might somehow inconvenience Kanzaki, we still have things to do.


    Anyway, Aya would apany the ss President in the room once Satsuki and I left. Aya told me that she’d try to get closer to Kanzaki as part of her challenge to herself to open up to more people. The girl continues to take initiative in ridding of her introversion.


    I praised Aya for that idea, albeit stealthily. Nheless, she still loved it. Seeing her adorable smile, my urge to dote on her more was reinforced. Mhm… I’ll dote on her on our way to her house.


    “… Is Sakuma a ve of your sister, Maemura-san?” A minute after Sakuma left, Kanzaki raised that question.


    Because we really hadn’t exined that part, Aya was also partly curious. She’s aware that Sakuma was chasing after Satsuki before but after I stole Satsuki, she had no idea what changed to that guy after distancing himself from us for who knows how long.


    “More like a pet. He probably likes my sister but as you can see… He’s stuck in that state.” Satsuki answered nonchntly all the while pushing herself further in the kotatsu.


    Since I was sitting next to her, I could clearly feel how she’s inching closer to me in a way that Kanzaki wouldn’t notice.


    With my right hand sneakily sped by Aya and my left by Satsuki, I probably looked like someone getting toofortable in the kotatsu in Kanzaki’s eyes.


    Anyway, unless she looked at what''s happening underneath, she’d be left clueless about our rtionship. Furthermore, with their current conversation, I made myself practically invisible.


    “Ah… I see. He seemed happy though. Honestly, I thought he’s after you.”


    “That’s also what I thought at first. I was wrong. He likes my sister.”


    Hearing Satsuki say that, undoubtedly, there’s no more trace of her former affection for that guy.


    Moreover, the girl somehow couldn’t be satisfied with just our hands anymore. I eventually felt her legs on mine. Due to that, instead of just sitting, Iid down, pushing half of my body underneath the kotatsu. This way, Satsuki could position herself easier.


    Kanzaki noticed what I did but by only doing a quick peek from above and seeing mefortably lying down on my back, she returned to her position.


    “Your sister that looked like you but with longer hair, shorter height and a different attitude.”


    “... Yes. That’s how it is. I’m the scary Maemura. Only idiots who can stand my foul mouth and my clinginess will like me.” Satsuki intentionally pinched my hand as she answered like that.


    “Really? I don’t strike you as the clingy type, Maemura. But didn’t you like him before?”


    “Maybe? I don’t know. I don’t remember anymore.”


    Satsuki shrugged and although I couldn’t check Kanzaki’s reaction anymore, the silence probably meant she ran out of things to say.


    And I took that as my cue.


    “Uh. Girls, do you really have to engage in girls’ talk in front of me?”


    “Oh right. You don’t seem to mind anyway, Onoda.”


    “That’s true but that kind of thing should be private, right? Anyway, what to do now? Shall we go home?”


    I intentionally changed the subject and put down that suggestion.


    “Ah. That’s right. It’s about time. But you’refortably lying down there. Are you sure?”


    “Well, I’ll walk with the two of you so unless I’ll go whenever you want.”


    That’s the n. But in truth, I was hoping for her to go home soon. From how she’s not that hurried upon looking at the time… she also didn’t want to go home yet.


    “… Uhm, let’s stay a bit longer, ss Prez.” Aya broke her silence and suggested that.


    “You heard what Rindou says, is that fine with you?”


    “No problem. I’ll take a nap here. It’s warm andfortable. Wake me up when it’s time.”


    Upon looking at how carefree I was, Kanzaki shook her head, “You feel too at home, Onoda.”


    Not bothering to reply anymore, I just waved my hand as a little gesture.


    Soon after that, I heard the three still conversing about other topics. While I acted as if I’m taking a nap, my perverted hands started caressing Aya and Satsuki’s smooth and delicate legs.


    The two were surprised at first. However, they didn’t bother removing my hand, in fact, from how they eventually stretched their feet straight, cing it on my navel and further below. The two girls wanted to feel the touch of my hand better and also… get back at me.


    As it was slightly risky because of Kanzaki, the two girls’ anticipation was somehow heightened.


    While acting like they’re invested in the topic they’re chatting about, the two were enjoying being caressed by my hands.


    Naturally, I didn’t do more than that. Not when Kanzaki was still there with us.


    Fortunately, around five minutester, Kanzaki stood up and asked for bathroom directions.


    Aya also stood up toe with her, perhaps to give me alone time with Satsuki. I tried stopping her but she simply shook her head. The girl was being considerate again.


    “That Onoda, he really fell asleep… Well, I’ll be back.”


    If I had to guess, Kanzaki checked on me. However, seeing my eyes still closed shut along with my superb acting, she was convinced that I was really asleep.


    With the sound of the door opening and closing along with two sets of footsteps, the room soon became engulfed in silence.


    Not long after that, I opened my eyes and saw Satsuki staring at me.


    “Stop acting, you pervert.” The girl slid down as she eventuallyy down next to me. Using my arm as her pillow, she tapped on my cheek.


    “I’m not acting. I’m trying to sleep.” I yfully answered as I bent my arm she’s using as a pillow to pull her closer. Following that, I slowly turned my body to her side and used my other arms to enclosepletely.


    “Want me to put you to sleep indefinitely?”


    Despite feeling that, the girl scoffed at me and smirked.


    “If that involves an unending kiss then I’m in.”


    “Y-you… Why are you this difficult?”


    And she’s beaten once more.


    “Am I? You’re not just being honest again, Satsuki… Well then, I’ll make you honest again.” I dropped my lips on hers while at the same time pushing her lower body closer to me, our legs just naturally got entangled.


    In the end, she so easily dropped her tough stance, letting herself melt in my embrace and kisses once more.


    Savoring the few minutes that we got for ourselves. It didn’t take long for the already warm temperature underneath the kotatsu to rise. And along with that, Satsuki’s restrained seductive moans.


    Well, the time wasn’t on our side so it’s as quick as it gets. I focused on pleasuring her more than my own. As I’ve thoroughly known the ins and outs of her body, making her cum was a feat I could do if I put my mind to it.


    Furthermore, we never left the kotatsu.


    By the time Kanzaki and Aya returned from the bathroom, Satsuki was already back to how she was before they left, except for her flushed face and a ratherbored breath.


    Aya knew exactly what happened but for Kanzaki, only by checking underneath would she get a clue.. Unfortunately, that’s not going to happen.
