Husband, Ill sleep over at Fuyus house later. I wont meddle with your progress with her but Ill at least have to find out whether her mother knows about us or not, right?

That was Akanes words after I asked her about her plans tonight. Then she even called Fuyu, informing her about wanting to sleep over. With that girl probably roused to sleep by her call, I heard Fuyus sleepy voice over the phone.

Sneakily, Akane acted like she was going to get something inside the house and handed me the phone.

Look at that silly girl. And she said shes not going to meddle with us.

I shook my head at her randomness.

In any case, because she passed it before Fuyu could properly reply, I caught the girls voice clearly.

E-eh? What did you say? Can you repeat it again, Akane?

Not gonna lie, she has a cool, raspy voice. I wonder if shes like this every morning. I can imagine her rubbing her eyes, trying to cast off the sleepiness that has yet to wear off.

Ah. Yuuki-san. Its me.

O-onoda-kun? Wait. I thought Akane called me.

Upon hearing my voice, that raspy voice that I just found endearing immediately got replied by a high-pitched one. Shes surprised to hear me, alright. That probably made her awake as well.

Mhm. She did but you know that girl. She said forgot something inside and passed me the phone.

I... I see. G-good morning?

This girl... Im finding the urge to switch this voice call to a video call and see her morning face. But well, lets hold back on that thought for now. Ill have the chance to do that in the future.

Yes. Good morning, Yuuki-san. Sorry for the inconvenience.

N-no. Not at all... But Onoda-kun, isnt it too early?

Looking at the clock, it was only four in the morning. So, yes. Its really early. We were told to be at school before 5 am. With train stations and first bus trips opening at 4 am, the schedule for this camping trip was already cut tight for everyone.

Thankfully, we have Shio. Shes going to drive us to school and given that shed be accompanying us there, there wouldnt be a problem to make the excuse that she picked us up on the road.

She arrived early on. Maybe around 3 am. With a spare key to our front door, shes the one who woke me. Then, while Shizu and Akane were still asleep, the two of us went down to prepare a quick breakfast and of course, took our moment like a newlywed couple in the kitchen.

At the moment, shes resting in the living room, sipping on her coffee while stealing glances at me. Really, shes also acting more adorable these days.

Anyway, back to Fuyu...

Ah. Right. Shes probably going to inform you about this herself but I guess given that Im talking to you right now, Ill just do it myself...

Uhm... That sounds serious. What is it?

Not really. Dont worry. I hope I won't be troubling you with this but... Our school has a camping trip today until tomorrow night. I wont be able to come home tonight so... Yuuki-san, can I ask you a favor to look after Akane?

As soon as I dropped that on her, I could hear from the other side the rustling of her blanket and how she probably pulled herself up from the bed.

Imagining her in her sleepwear, I can see how alluring she is at the moment.

Ugh. Alright. Stop being a pervert, Ruki. I know, the side-effect of the tea hadnt been fully quelled yet but I guess this is just truly my nature. Im a pervert through and through, especially to the girls close to me.

Oh! How nice. Your school has a camping trip... I understand Onoda-kun, Ill take care of Akane. And youre not troubling me.

Thank you, youre a lifesaver, Yuuki-san. I owe you one.

This guy, dont be. Akane is my best friend. Looking after her is already second nature to me.

How reassuring... Still, I want to thank Yuuki-san in some other way or form.

I heard her helplessly sigh on the other end of this call. Shes probably facepalming at my insistence.

Uhm... Since I probably wont be able to convince you, Ill accept it. Take care, Onoda-kun.

Mhm. You too. Have a nice day. Also, you can go back to sleep. Ill scold Akane for waking you up this early.

... Its fine. I think? I got to hear your voice...

Hmm? What is it?

That last sentence of hers was probably blurted out by her unconsciously again. And so, I pretended not to hear it.

The girl fumbled to try and correct it but thankfully, Akane came back to save her day. She got the phone back and talked to Fuyu before ending the call right after.

Looking at my silly wife making an OK gesture with a mischievous grin, I failed to restrain myself from punishing her for it. Or maybe it was a reward?

I pulled her with me and hid behind a wall where I poured my desire on her for the first and last time today.

Shortly after that, Shizu, who finished preparing, met up with us downstairs. Shes walking a bit weirdly but not so much that it would be noticeable... I guess that part of her didnt hurt as much for her anymore or shes just great at hiding her expression beneath her poker face mask.

Nevertheless, I didnt skip checking on her before we ate our breakfast. Not surprisingly, that eventually ended in the same situation as Akane...

Right... Im that much of a pervert to be unable to hold back at all.

After Akane inspected my bag one last time, making sure that I didnt forget anything, the girl kissed me goodbye and sent us to the front door.

If its only possible, I wouldnt mind bringing her with us. Unfortunately, its an official school trip.

Not seeing her for more than a day would probably make me miss her so much. The same for my other girls who wont be joining us at the camp.

Kana, Rumi, Edel, Marika and everyone from the other schools...

And thats why, I decided to keep my phone in my hand before it gets confiscated later. In this way, I can easily reply to them when they wake up.

Ah. Right. Since Shizu didnt bring anything with her during this sleepover... Nami went to her house to get her things and would bring them over. Luckily, theyre living on the same street and their families are related. The girl wouldnt find it difficult to get it.

Nonetheless, I still checked on her, worrying that it might be too heavy for her to carry. Such a worrywart.

Nami met up with Saki and Hina at the bus stop. But given that her neighbor and childhood friend is also in our class as well as that delusional idiot, Tadano, and Ogawa also appeared at the same stop to ride the bus to school.

Well, theres no reason for them to skip it just because theyre there. It will be inefficient. Theyre all in the same club and theres no hope for them anymore. Will I still be bothered just because of their presence? Thats only what an insecure idiot would feel.

Moreover, arent they convenient tools to use? In the end, seeing that Nami was carrying two bags, Tadano insisted on carrying one of them to relieve Nami from its burden.

Id give him some points for that by refraining from replying to Mei-chan's messages.

Speaking of Mei-chan... I only skimmed through her message and she probably found out about that cosplay account my girls made for me. She recognized me from it... Hence the reason why shes messaging me. She probably wanted me to confirm it.

Anyway, looks like this will become another long day for us. And Im starting it with Shizu by my side...

Numbskull, stop hesitating like an idiot and call them instead of just messaging them. I know you dont want to start this day without seeing them.

While resting her head on my shoulder, Shizu who noticed my constant checks on my phone grumbled in annoyance.
