As quick as lightning, Setsuna-nee separated from me before the door fully opened to reveal the two. Furthermore, the way she readjusted herself on the seat, acting like she never moved from there put me in awe. Its like magic. Her face also magically returned to normal while her pair of apple-red ears was neatly covered up by her hair.

Because of that, when Juri and Satsuki stepped inside the room, the sight that welcomed them was the two of us sitting at both ends of the couch.

Still, despite not finding anything amiss, the two girls both looked like they were expecting something. Its obvious. They intentionally delayed their arrival. If they didnt plan this, it should be Juri whod show up to pick me up.

Although I didnt hear what exactly happened from Setsuna-nee considering I never brought up a question on our way here and her responses were minimal before she asked me to come sit next to her, I still got a gleam of why this happened.

Juri separated from Setsuna-nee when they went to see the Dean. Thats the reason she showed up from that direction. As for how Juri convinced her to pick me up, thats a mystery that Id probably hear from them.

Its nice to see you two. I was already thinking of preparing a tea for us if you still took your time outside, I playfully said, dispelling whatever awkwardness remaining in the room. I also put on a welcoming smile to the two girls which made them focus on me rather than Setsuna-nee.

Well, I guess thats all I can do to help at the moment. Given that Setsuna-nee retreated, pretending as though nothing happened before their arrival, she wasnt prepared to show that to them yet. Or rather, she possibly had no idea how to explain herself to them. Shes holding me tightly, after all.

Satsuki shook her head, her lips stretching into a meaningful smirk.

Sorry, Ruki. We made a detour somewhere.

And that was Juris response to me as the two of them made their way to our direction.

Shes being truthful by that. And theres possibly a purpose for that detour... Informing the other girls, maybe? Thinking about it, despite going ahead of Setsuna-nee to pick up Satsuki, we never ran into them. They possibly stayed longer in the girls area. And on their way here, they also stopped by to see Shizu, Haruko and the others.

Well, theres no point in me speculating about that. If I asked, theyd definitely inform me about it.

Replying to Juri, Setsuna-nee voiced a complaint, Whats that detour? You didnt tell me about it. Like Onoda-kun said, we spent a long time waiting here.

Come on, Setsu. I told you about it. Were going to see if some of the others wanted to come too. Unfortunately, no one accepted.

Alright. Thats a straight up lie coming from Juri. She even made it obvious to me by winking.

On her side, Satsuki was about to back her up.

Nee-san, I suggested it. Sorry.

O-oh! So, its your idea. Did you want to help us out? Im proud of you.

Almost instantly, Setsuna-nees tone changed, slipping back to being the doting older sister. Her lips even stretched into a pleasant smile, something I failed to see from her while were alone. She also stood up from her seat, receiving Satsuki. She tiptoed and patted her little sisters head which fully showcased the difference in their heights.

On the other hand, my girl bent her knees, helping her older sister out before she fully squeezed into her embrace.

Yeah. Shes fully into the act of an obedient little sister.

Well, it might not be an act. Shes also that affectionate with me, after all. Its not a strange sight to me.

Still, that didnt change the fact that she reinforced Juris lie. Taking a glance at her, I caught her staring at the sisters warmly. And then, her eyes landed on me as she started traversing the distance separating us..

I expected her to take this opportunity to embrace me as well but she subverted it.

Juri pushed me to the side, taking the corner space for herself. She then looked up at me with an expectant gaze. Most likely, shes hoping to listen to the update regarding my current situation with Setsuna-nee.

Yes. They did not see us in a daring position. However, shes quite sure that its impossible that we spent our time here without doing anything at all. At the very least, shes expecting a little progress after what happened during the day.

Since Setsuna-nee wasnt looking yet, I pinched Juris cheeks at the same time as I whispered the update shes expecting me to share.

We had a fruitful talk but shes still troubled by me. I suggested for her to confide in you or Satsuki.

Yep. Its summarized enough to the point that theres not much information there. Nonetheless, her lips stretched into a satisfied grin.

That confirmed that they intentionally delayed their return.

Moments later, Juri took the opportunity to push my head down to her springy softness as she once again showered me with praises.

Even though Setsuna-nee could turn around at any moment, I dont think I can say no to being doted on by Juri. Before I knew it, I was already hugging her as my head continued to burrow into her chest.

Luckily, Satsuki got Setsuna-nee fully occupied...

Thinking about it, they shared the same trait... Setsuna-nees praise was solely reserved for her little sister whereas Juri would always find a way to praise me regardless of reason. Thats a little different but theyre still similar.

I guess they rubbed off that trait on each other.

A minute or so later, Juri released me from her embrace and the sisters moved to take the space next to us.

With Satsuki sitting next to me, our current seating arrangement became similar to how it was earlier in that mini-garden; Setsuna-nee and Juri were both on the corner, sandwiching us.

And after another minute wherein Satsuki squeezed into my side, taking every chance she could get to cuddle with me, they finally addressed the reason why they brought us here.

So, thats it. Is that clear? You can ask us if you have any questions later. Setsu and I have to go out for a while. We still have to show our faces there and convey the Deans words to the professor tasked to supervise on this side.

Juri ended her explanation there and stood up with Setsuna-

nee.

In summary, I was right with my guess earlier. In order to bring us here, they volunteered for a task that no one was taking. Were going to scour both hills to ensure that no students would wander off and get lost in the woods.

Even though we were free to spend our long break wandering and doing anything we wanted, the management of Akimitsu Hill naturally put an effort into ensuring that exploring the dark, unlit places of the hill was prohibited. Its a prevention for accidents that may or may not happen as a result of carelessness.

Of course, it wont be within our scope to police the students who will wander off into the woods where accidents are prone to happen. Were only supposed to warn and tell them to go back. If they dont listen to us then we just have to report it to the professors or the employees of the hill whose job is to ensure every guests safety.

Anyway, thats that. Juri didnt say anything else. Just that, her eyes focused on me, conveying her similar desire to also be alone with me like Satsuki. I should expect that shes going to make that happen later on their return.

In contrast, Setsuna-nee dished out numerous reminders along the lines of Onoda-kun, take care of Satsu-chan., Do not cause trouble while were away. We wont be long. and lastly, Behave yourselves, .

Even though she didnt say it clearly, we could understand what she was trying to convey.

Were going to be alone in this cabin. And with her imagination running wild considering she already saw us in bed once, shes possibly imagining us doing something naughty in her.

Yeah. Shes not wrong to worry about that.

What is this situation if not a golden opportunity? Right?

Moreover, with Setsuna-nee being too obvious with what shes trying to convey there, shes just stoking the fire of our desires for each other. At the moment, I could already sense Satsuki being restless.

I wouldnt be surprised if she pounced on me as soon as they stepped out of that door... No. its not just her. Im also in the same state...

Were a couple of perverts who love each other so much that we wont hesitate to grab every opportunity. Especially because it would be hard for the same opportunity to come by within the duration of this camping trip...
