Unlike those girls who, after tasting the forbidden fruit, only craved for more,
Haruno only needed a few memories to fill the void in her heart.
...
Christmas Eve.
As usual, whenever someone stayed over, the girls would never sleep quietly.
Some were naturally night owls,
And with the special meaning of this holiday,
The Yukima household would probably remain lively for quite a while.
But this time, the lights went out earlier than expected.
After flying back from Hawaii,
Even though the group had spent some time resting together in the hotel lounge,
At the time, their emotions had only just settled, and besides, it was an unfamiliar place.
So they hadn't actually slept well.
But now, back in Yukima's home
The Familiar Atmosphere Made People Unconsciously Relax Their Tense Nerves.
Eririthe baka otakuwas playing a game when she suddenly dropped her controller on the floor.
Yukima Azuma turned his head to lookshe had already fallen asleep.
Eriri: (* *)zzz!
If no one else were around,
Yukima Azuma would definitely let Eriri experience the consequences of sleeping wherever she pleased.
He picked her up and carried her to her room, laying her down on the bed.
When he returned to the living room, he saw Kasumigaoka Utaha holding her laptop,
Her head nodding up and down repeatedly.
(-)
He closed the laptop and set it aside.
Then, he carried Utaha back to her room as well.
As for Kato Megumi, when her eyelids started battling against each other, she simply said to Yukima Azuma, "Good night, Azuma-san."
( -) z Z
Then she returned to her room by herself.
...
Night fell.
Yukima Azuma turned off the lights.
In his mind, he was thinking about the upcoming trip to Mount Itomori.
Drowsiness gradually crept in.
His thoughts drifted in and out as he slowly sank into sleep.
Then, in the quiet space
A faint sound of a doorknob turning was heard.
In his half-asleep state, Yukima Azuma barely registered the feeling of his blanket being lifted slightly.
Immediately after, a soft, slightly cool body slipped under the covers.
The cool sensation brought him a bit more clarity.
Noticing the blanket puff up on one side,
An exclamation mark popped up in Yukima Azuma's mind.
( ®®) !!
Night Raid?
At that moment, the first thought that flashed through his mind was
That troublesome older sister still hasn't given up?!
However, the soft body of the girl pressed closer to him.
Sensing it more carefully, Yukima Azuma quickly confirmedit wasn't Haruno.
Though it had been a while, and he no longer remembered Haruno's body measurements clearly,
At the very least, compared to what he was feeling nowthere was a significant difference.
If it wasn't Haruno
Yukima Azuma's hand began to move of its own accord.
He measured each point carefully.
"Megumi?"
Yukima Azuma called out softly in surprise.
"I wasn't fully awake just now and accidentally walked into the wrong room."
(,,,,)
Kato Megumi answered in a small voice.
She was still groggy. After using the restroom, she somehow ended up stepping into Yukima Azuma's room by mistake.
In truth, Kato Megumi didn't realize it right away.
But after getting "measured" like this for a while, she instantly snapped awake.
She hadn't spoken up earlier simply because she was too embarrassed.
"What a coincidence. In that case"
Yukima Azuma started to say, but then suddenly stopped.
He leaned in and took a light breath near Kato Megumi's neck.
Sure enough, a faint, sweet fragrance entered his nose.
Yukima Azuma couldn't help but glance around the room.
This kind of "coincidental" setup clearly had to be the work of a certain pair of bored twin gods.
Star and Lumine: (>) Ehe!
Oh well, just a bit of randomness.
Yukima Azuma decided to settle the score with those matchmaking gods in the morning.
He gently wrapped his arms around Kato Megumi,
His hand softly patting her back, signaling her to just relax and sleep.
In the darkness, Kato Megumi's face gradually turned red.
Obediently, she rested her head on Yukima Azuma's arm and slowly closed her eyes.
However.
Creak
A faint sound echoed.
Yukima Azuma immediately felt the girl in his arms stiffen.
Both of them turned their heads toward the door.
But since the lights were off and the curtains were drawn, blocking the moonlight, the room was pitch dark, making it impossible to see who had entered.
Only the quiet shuffle of slippers could be heard approaching the bed.
Then, the blanket was lifted once more, and a cold gust of air slipped in.
Along with that cold airwas another soft body.
A faint vein pulsed on Yukima Azuma's forehead.
He raised his hand and pointed toward the study desk.
The pressure of his shogi skill was instantly released.
Somewhere on the study desk, two mischievous twin gods were "check-mated" and immediately behaved themselves.
As for the bed
This time, there was no need to measure. Yukima Azuma already knew who it was.
That familiar embrace.
That perfectly snug elasticity.
It was definitely Eriri!
Kato Megumi stretched out her hand and poked Yukima Azuma's waist.
What now?
()
Even though he couldn't see her expression in the darkness, just from her actions, Yukima Azuma understood her question.
Facing Kato Megumi's silent inquiry, Yukima Azuma responded with a gentle head pat.
The meaning was clear: Just sleep. It's fine.
Kato Megumi's eyes widened in the darkness.
She didn't expect him to go this far.
After hesitating for a moment
She decided to give up and stop resisting.
At this point, if she tried to leave Yukima Azuma's arms and get out from under the blanket,
She might wake Eriri up.
Besides, why should she leave?
If Yukima Azuma had asked her to, Kato Megumi would have done so without hesitation.
But right now, he had decided to just sleep like this.
Naturally, Kato Megumi wouldn't run away either.
After all, by tomorrow morning,
it would be Yukima Azuma who'd have to deal with the consequences.
As for feeling sorry for him
When it came to harem troubles, Kato Megumi had zero sympathy for Yukima Azuma.
And so, Kato Megumi simply tightened her arms around Yukima Azuma and closed her eyes.
Sleep, sleep!

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.
( )(`)
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: (,,,, ) 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: ( )
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.
( ® ®)
(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.
( ®® ) ?
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?"
( )
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.
