"*Gulp*… If I-I said there's water on the floor, I just accidentally fell here and wanted to rest for a bit, Onii-chan, will you believe me?"
'Why couldn't I help but eavesdrop again?'
'Even though I clearly know it is still early, and Onii-chan and Shion are probably not asleep yet, the risk of being discovered is so high!'
"I believe you. Komachi, whatever you say, I believe you. Do you want to come in and chat with Shion?", Hachiman looked at Komachi, who was still lying on the floor gazing up at him, and nodded with a smile.
"No, no! I'm a little sleepy, I want to go back to sleep," Komachi glanced at Shion, who was sitting on the bed with her knees up, upper body covered with a blanket, fair fragrant shoulders vaguely visible, face flushed red as she looked at her, and immediately shook her head desperately.
She quickly got up from the floor, not even bothering to put on her shoes, her white, tender little feet stepping on the floor as she ran back to her room and slammed the door shut.
'Onii-chan, you big idiot!'
'In this kind of situation now, how can I possibly have the nerve to go in and chat with Shion?'
'Am I such a girl with no sense, who can't read the mood?'
'But… isn't that bulge under the blanket a bit too big?'
'Looks like there's someone hiding inside?'
Komachi locked the door and lay flat on her bed, her wildly beating heart slowly returning to normal, and her little brain finally calmed down to recall the scene she had glimpsed just now.
Shion was leaning against the bedhead with knees up, propping up the blanket. It looked like she was shyly using the blanket to cover herself, not wanting her to see an embarrassing scene.
But if she was truly shy, shouldn't she be lying down with her whole body under the blanket?
Why would Shion sit up shyly and look at her at the same time?
Komachi was very curious about the girl hiding under the blanket on the same bed with Shion, but thinking about how awkward it would be if she went back, she could only shake off the thoughts in her head, lest she really went knocking to ask who that girl was.
'Maybe it is Sister Iris and them who came back.'
'After all, both Sister Iris and Sister Aegis can use magic. Flying in through the window into Onii-chan's room is very normal.'
'But… if it was Sister Iris and Sister Aegis… then plus Shion, doesn't that mean there are three girls in Onii-chan's room now?'
'Three girls sleeping with Onii-chan...'
"Ahhhhhhhh!", Komachi, who couldn't imagine such a scene at all, buried her burning red face into her soft pillow, her fair and slender jade feet swinging and kicking the soft quilt in midair.
———
"Saki, come out, Komachi's already gone."
Closing the door, Hachiman returned to the bed, looked at the completely red-faced Asougi Shion, and smilingly touched the black hair scattered on her fragrant shoulder, then lifted the blanket on her, revealing Hayase Saki, dressed in black yoga pants and a white sports tank top, hiding under the blanket, sweaty and red-skinned.
Komachi wasn't wrong. There was indeed someone hiding under the blanket. But it wasn't Iris or Aegis as she imagined, rather it was Hayase Saki, someone she wasn't very familiar with.
Since Iris and Aegis had disappeared somewhere, and neither Hachiman nor Shion saw them even after showering, and Kaede didn't dare to raid the Hikigaya house late at night with Suzu, Hachiman simply teleported to Hayase Saki.
She was lying on her bed chatting with Sakurase Shino, Ichinose Ayano, and Narahashi Miki over the phone. Hachiman picked her up and teleported directly to Shion, that is, his bed.
Hayase Saki had been quite obedient lately, not causing any trouble. It's just that he was busy and hadn't taken much care of her. Now that he had time, he naturally had to look after his big dumb B-class pet.
The teleport function from the Love List is quite handy. Once intimacy reaches a certain level and a task is completed, it unlocks a character's teleport ability. Not only can he teleport to them, but he can also bring them along to teleport.
If he could unlock a time-stopping space or time-stopping mode, then he'd be a true master of time management.
But for now, being able to teleport anytime is already great. The only problem is he can only teleport to people, not to a specific location.
For example, now that Hayase Saki is not at home, he can't teleport her back to her place.
But it's not a big deal. When Iris returns, she can use magic to help teleport her back. If that doesn't work, he'll just start Love Live Mode early in the morning, escort Saki home, and then head to school together.
'Hmm... I definitely have to send her back.'
After all, Hayase Saki has parents, unlike his, whose schedules are completely opposite. Saki still has to come out of her room in the morning, eat breakfast, and go to school.
"Really gone? Komachi won't be eavesdropping outside again, will she?", Hayase Saki cautiously lifted her head, peeking past Shion's smooth, round white thighs to the tightly shut door, still a bit worried.
She didn't expect the seemingly obedient and sensible little sister of the president to do such a thing as eavesdropping at the wall.
Though she wasn't much better, sneaking into the president's bed late at night...
"Don't worry, I already opened the door to warn her, she wouldn't dare to eavesdrop anymore," Hachiman pulled both her and Shion into his arms, kissed both of their warm and delicate cheeks hard, and smiled in comfort.
Actually, the moment he closed the door, he activated Love Live Mode. No matter the noises from him, Saki, or Shion in the room, not even Komachi, not even Gabriel outside the door, could hear anything.
He just usually didn't tell Saki and Shion.
Only by walking the edge of being discovered, always worrying about being caught, could he fully stir their emotions, making them cling to the feeling of being with him.
"Mm...", Hayase Saki wrapped her arms around Hachiman's neck, her pretty face red as she leaned into his arms, not knowing what to say.
If the elven princess Iris were here, she might've begged her to use a soundproof barrier to keep their voices from escaping.
But the president didn't know that kind of magic, no matter how much she begged him, it wouldn't work.
Now she could only rely on herself, on her willpower to endure.
"....", Shion looked at the extremely embarrassed but equally helpless Hayase Saki across from her, then glanced at the seemingly unconcerned Hachiman, opened her mouth to speak, then stopped. In the end, she said nothing.
Because she had been living in this house before, and even now occasionally stayed over. The apartment next door was just a place to live, a nominal private space.
So she understood Hachiman even better than Hayase Saki.
The Hachiman who could win over the elven princess couldn't possibly be an ordinary person. She had full confidence in him.
Although she wasn't sure if he had prepared soundproofing this time.
But if it was really going to get noisy, he would surely take measures.
After all, their sounds had been pretty loud before, but every time she worriedly observed Komachi the next day, she never saw any sign of her noticing. Komachi even wondered how far her and Hachiman's relationship had gone.
'Hmm… even if I can say it, I am too embarrassed. Komachi is Onii-chan's little sister, how can I possibly talk about this with her?'
"Shion, what are you thinking? Still worried about Komachi eavesdropping?", Hachiman lay on Shion's bouncy white thighs. Seeing her seeming distracted, he reached up and pinched her.
"No, I was just thinking... maybe I should also start practicing yoga like Saki-senpai," Shion came back to herself, looked down at Hachiman's seemingly more handsome face, and explained softly with a blush.
She and Hachiman had gone upstairs in front of Komachi, there was no way to hide it.
If she really wanted to conceal it, she would've gone back to the rental first and waited for Hachiman to come over.
"Yoga, huh…", Hachiman turned his gaze away from Shion and looked at Hayase Saki in front of him, still practicing Upavesasana yoga with bent knees.
Saki had originally been practicing yoga in her room, still in her black yoga pants and white tank top, hadn't changed, was just resting and chatting on her phone when he brought her over.
Gotta say, yoga pants really show off the figure.
Especially on a girl like Hayase Saki who swims often and is well-trained. The slim fit outlined the curves of her legs and hips perfectly, fully showing off her body.
"Yoga helps maintain flexibility, I quite like it. But are you sure you want to try? What if Komachi sees you practicing in the living room, do you think she'll join or not?", Hachiman held Saki's hands, interlocked fingers, helping the slightly shaky Saki maintain her balance, then turned to Shion and smiled.
Yoga looks graceful when practiced by someone with a good figure. Shion would fit that well, but with Komachi's figure...
She'd probably channel her frustration into appetite and just keep eating.
"Uhh... then I'll think about it," Shion also realized this issue and could only temporarily give up the idea.
Judging by Saki's reaction, she figured Hachiman would also really like her outfit, but if it hurt Komachi emotionally… she better try another approach.
"Yoga can wait, but yoga pants don't need to wait. Let's go buy a few pairs tomorrow."
"A few pairs?", Shion blinked at Hachiman's words.
"Both open and closed types, in case one gets damaged."
"Mm… yeah, better buy more…", Shion quickly glanced at Hayase Saki, who had finished her yoga and lay exhausted on Hachiman, her hair covering her flushed face. Her ears turned red as she murmured like a mosquito.
Even Saki, a student of Sobu High, was working so hard.
She couldn't fall behind
———
In the morning, Komachi woke up from bed, yawning while changing her clothes, and slowly walked downstairs.
"Good morning, Komachi," At this moment, Asougi Shion had already combed her hair, her small feet wrapped in black mid-calf socks, neatly dressed and sitting on the sofa. When she saw Komachi wake up, she gently greeted her.
"Good morning, Shion," Komachi looked at Asougi Shion with her long hair draped over her shoulders and cheeks still blushing. It seemed like she had just gotten out of Hachiman's bed, and the cold aura she showed to strangers at school had yet to gather on her face.
She glanced at Hachiman in the kitchen making breakfast, then immediately tiptoed over to Shion's side and whispered close to her ear, "By the way, Shion, who was in your room last night? Was it Iris-senpai or someone else?"
"Mm… more or less Iris-senpai, I guess…", Asougi Shion, who had just finished washing up not long ago, heard Komachi secretly asking her these things again. A slight blush passed over her fair and pretty face, and she vaguely answered in a small voice.
"More or less?", Komachi was not satisfied with this answer, 'Was it Iris-senpai or not?:
'Could it be someone just came in for a shower and yet another woman entered the house?'
But since Shion was too shy to say, she couldn't press further and could only go wash up for now. Once they were at school and Hachiman won't be there to back Shion up, she'd properly interrogate her.
"...", Asougi Shion looked at Komachi's "I'll remember this" expression and sighed silently.
Could she even say that it wasn't just Iris and Aegis last night, but when she couldn't hold on anymore, Hachiman even called over a girl named Ayano to keep Hayase Saki company?
Without a doubt, Ayano was also a girl with outstanding temperament, and her looks and figure were both exceptionally good.
It's just that she seemed a bit dazed, like she was still dreaming. This girl named Ayano only realized it wasn't a dream after climbing into the club president's arms and scared herself weak in the legs.
Last night's scene was too chaotic. Let alone telling Komachi, even if she wanted to talk, she wouldn't know how to explain the origins of these girls around Hachiman.
Faced with so many girls who were more mature and excellent than her, she didn't dare ask too much. Besides, asking about someone's relationship with Hachiman in that kind of situation was way too ridiculous.
Although when she woke up early, she only saw Iris and Aegis having breakfast, and Hayase Saki and Ichinose Ayano had disappeared, she knew she was probably the weakest one among them.
She wasn't sure about Ichinose Ayano, because Hachiman had equipped her with an empathy bracelet to increase stimulation, so it was normal for her to look like she couldn't handle it.
But Iris and Aegis, who were non-human species, and Hayase Saki, a top swimmer, all had great physical strength. They went to bed late and woke up early yet were still full of energy. If she didn't sleep early, she simply couldn't get up.
Compared to them, she was still too weak. If she wanted to enjoy more of Hachiman affection, she really needed to buy a yoga mat and yoga pants and start working out.
'Apparently, Hachiman-oniisan really liked those slimming and body-shaping clothes…'
Not sure what she thought of, but Asougi Shion's face turned even redder.
Ding~ Dong~
Only when the doorbell rang did Asougi Shion realize she had once again immersed herself in the endless variety of wonderful experiences Hachiman-oniisan had given her. She quickly patted her cheeks to make them look less red and got up to open the door.
