Chapter 165 – Sleeping Together

There is a Japanese-style hotel at Tengumine Shrine that was originally a temple for training monks, but the room prepared for Haruka-san and Honoka-chan was a private residence.

I guess they thought it would be too distracting for them to stay in a Japanese-style hotel.

…Or maybe there was a risk of things like hidden filming, eavesdropping, or radio wave interception at the hotel.

Haruka-san was the one who showed us around.

Honoka-chan was tired and sleeping.

Honoka-chan helped the people who were turned into cubes by Clovis’ Human Objectification.

Before that, she also had a scene where she confronted Clovis, who had attacked her in an attempt to kidnap Haruka-san.

However, she insisted that she would stay awake until I returned.

“Well then, enjoy your stay.”

And with a smile that hinted at something more, Haruka-san disappeared down the corridor.

Serika and I froze when we saw the futon laid out on the tatami mat of the Japanese-style room we were assigned to.

As you can probably imagine… There were two pillows lined up on the larger futon.

It’s like the kind of thing where they show you the room and say, “Please make yourself at home,” and then the next morning, they say, “I hope you enjoyed yourself last night.”

“Well… What are we going to do?”

Serika says with a worried look on her face.

She looks away from me slightly, her cheeks flushed.

“W-well, aside from that… I should probably tell you what happened first.”

“Oh, I’m curious about that. You said it was harder than I thought, right?”

“It’s a long story, you know?”

“Yes. Let’s make some tea then.”

I told Serika what happened after the dungeon collapsed.

Halfway through, I almost fell asleep from exhaustion,

“D-do you want to sleep here?”

She pointed to her own thighs where she was sitting on her knees.

Serika had removed all of her holy knight armor and was now wearing only the clothes underneath.

I was confused but couldn’t resist the tempting offer and let myself be pampered by her lap pillow.

…Serika’s body warmth and soft scent made me even more sleepy.

When I looked up from my lap to see Serika’s face, I couldn’t see much because of her big breasts.

Thanks to that, even if I stared at her ample breasts as if I wanted to devour them, Serika wouldn’t notice my gaze.

It was a scene that made me forget my sleepiness.

“…So I somehow managed to return to this world.”

I finished speaking while looking at Serika’s breasts.

“Th-That was a lot of trouble, wasn’t it?”

Serika answered, looking a little down.

“Do you believe me?”

“There’s no reason to doubt you.”

Well, there’s no reason for me to tell Serika such a lie.

“It was much harder than I thought. Well done.”

And Serika pats my head.

“Why do you treat me like a child?”

I protest halfheartedly, but strangely, I don’t feel bad about it.

“Because you looked really exhausted just now. It was like you were clinging desperately like you didn’t want to let go.”

“How does that make me great?”

“Wasn’t that what you meant? I was just trying to show that I wasn’t going anywhere.”

“…Well, if that’s the case, then I guess it was.”

“Haha. You’re really clingy today, Yuto.”

“Maybe.”

“Well… you know, I was prepared for that, but… will you hold me?”

“…Is that okay?”

“Y-yeah, it’s okay…”

“I guess so…”

I can’t see Serika’s face clearly in the dim light, but I’m sure she’s blushing.

Her hand is stroking my head, and she is trembling, too.

“I think I’ll pass.”

“W-why?”

“Not tonight.”

“Why not? Have you taken a liking to that girl over there?”

“It’s not like that. It’s just that tonight is different. It’s not about whether I hold you or not… it’s more like, as long as we can be together, that’s enough.”

“Ah, I know what you mean.”

“We’ve known each other since we were kids.”

“Oh, maybe you don’t understand.”

“What is it?”

“I don’t want to go back to being childhood friends. Do you know how long I’ve waited for you?”

“…Well, I’m sorry.”

“It’s impossible for such a sweet girl to wait forever.”

“Don’t say that about yourself.”

Well, it’s true.

“Well then… why don’t we sleep together? My legs are getting numb.”

“I haven’t even showered.”

“Yeah, you smell like a battle.”

“You don’t like it, do you?”

“No, you fought for everyone. I couldn’t fight with you, but I want to sleep with you like this.”

“It’s kind of erotic.”

“No, that’s not what I meant…! Jeez, you already know what I’m trying to say.”

Serika lifts my head with one hand and wraps her other arm around my body.

Being able to lift a guy like me so easily is one of the advantages of being an explorer.

Serika puts me down on the futon and then gets in next to me, covering us both with the futon.

“Hey, can I move in a little closer?”

“Do whatever you want.”

“Hehe, I’ll do whatever I want.”

Serika hugs me with both of her arms, holding one of my arms in each of her arms.

Several parts of Serika’s body are in close contact with my arms.

Especially the fact that Serika’s face is on my shoulder is dangerous.

“I wonder if I can keep my wits about me until I fall asleep.”

“Fufufu. I’ve already made up my mind, so it doesn’t really matter to me either way. I’m a grown woman, after all, right? Well, that doesn’t mean I’ve never been out with a guy before, you know?”

“I didn’t ask anything.”

I put my free arm around the back of Serika’s head.

“Th-This is… making my heart pound.”

“I wonder if I can sleep with this on.”

“We used to do this a lot in elementary school. You know, at the secret base in the woods.”

“…Did we do something that risky?”

“Eh, you forgot? That’s terrible!”

“I had no sexual desire then…”

I thought I was just a guy who stuck to her for no reason.

“I like you, Yuto.”

“Me too, Serika.”

We exchanged a kiss without saying anything.

But it didn’t turn into a wild animal-like thing…

Embarrassment and sleepiness overcame us, and we fell into a deep sleep, drowning in the security of holding something precious in our arms.
