On my way back to the Administration Building, I opened my phone to check on the other girls who were probably about to go home.

It was already a daily occurrence ever since I took them back in. There was Aois message where she sent a photo of our previous middle school. Shes there to pick Ria up and to go home together. Its been a while since I saw the two in person, especially Ria.

Thats why when Aoi told me that theyre already together, I called them to catch a glimpse of the two.

Dumb-senpai, I miss you. Ria, who had a longing look on her face, greeted me as soon as she saw my face from Aois phone screen.

This time, shes sporting a ponytail for her long hair that made her even cuter than before. Shes also wearing a pair of glasses which added up to her image as the observant girl.

Me too, Ria. Im sorry I cant go there and pick you up.

Even if thats the least I could do for the girl, I didnt have the time for it at the moment.

Its fine. And Im not asking you to, Dumb-senpai. I know how busy you are. Besides, we plan on visiting your house next week. Aoi and I will come to play again.

Along with a playful smile, Ria licked her lips with her cute little tongue as she tried to appear like a seductress in my eyes.

However, the same as Aya, she only became more adorable this way. Add to that her oversized glasses that her nose was having a hard time holding.

Thats right! Wait for us, darling. We also plan to stay the night there. We can do that, right?

Perhaps because of the wind from the passing cars from where they were, Aois dark blue hair was dancing freely to her side, if she didnt tuck her hair on her ear, it would probably cover her face.

Thats a picturesque scene but its not really that good when were talking like this.

Absolutely, yes. I miss my unruly Aoi and my adorable Ria. Are you two going to scold me?

A visit was a welcome idea and I also wouldnt mind even if they decide to stay for a day.

Its been a month since that day they visited me and the last time I saw the two together was when I visited Aois house. I certainly miss the two.

Well, not just the two but everyone who I couldnt see everyday.

Even if it looked like my focus was always on one girl thats with me, every time I was alone, my mind would, most of the time, wander towards the thoughts of the girls I couldnt freely see.

Maybe next school year, if not me, someone will suggest for us to attend the same school. That way, I will be able to visit and see all of them or we can gather in one spot and spend the time together.

Dumb-senpai, did you awaken to your masochistic tendencies? Ill bring a rope then. Youll like it.

With her attempt to be more of a seductress, the observant girl mischievously smiled as she made that suggestion.

And upon seeing that, I couldnt help but feel the urge to run up to her and cuddle her in my arms.

No, Ria. I want to hear your voice and how you rebuke my thoughts and straighten them up. I really miss that unfiltered advice of my observant girl. You know how dumb your senpai is thats why I need my cute Rias guidance.

Hehe. See that Aoi, I dont need to be unruly like you to make Dumb-senpai submissive to me. With a triumphant expression on her face, Ria made a remark to the girl who was trying to open an umbrella behind her.

The rain here had already stopped when we began walking to the bus stop but I guess the rain clouds had just arrived where they were.

Is that being submissive? Darling is just using his tongue to let you hear what you want to hear. Ria is still young, I see. Aoi answered with a smirk which made the petite girl puff her cheeks in frustration.

As if I didnt know that! What about you? What do you want to hear from Dumb-senpai?

Although she appeared annoyed, she still stepped inside the umbrella to keep herself from being drenched by the rain. Its still a drizzle but theres no doubt that she would be drenched if she stayed out of the umbrella any longer.

Of course, I want darling to ask me out on a date.

Oh You heard her, Dumb-senpai. Prepare for it.

Rias mouth turned into O shape as she turned her gaze back on the screen. Instead of continuing to be annoyed at the unruly girl, shes now helping her to appeal to me.

Not just Aoi, Ria. I will also take you out on a date. I instantly nodded and included her.

Shes also my girl. Naturally, I want to see them happy and filled with blissful and lovely smiles on their lips.

No going back on your words Dumb-senpai.

Not surprised with my words as if shes expecting me to say that, Ria almost jumped in her elation. If Aoi didnt reach in to hold her shoulder, the observant girl would probably trip herself again.

Due to that, I sent a stealthy thumbs up to the unruly girl which she somehow understood by doing an OK sign.

Did I ever go back on my words before?

No. Not that I could remember.

Then, thats decided. Wait for it, Aoi, Ria. I will take you two on a date

At this point, I noticed that I was already near the Administration Building. After a few more exchanges and drawing up the plan for that date which I would take the two on two separate occasions, I began with my reminders before the end of the call.

Take care on the road and take cover first when the rain grows stronger than that. I will be sad if I hear you two getting sick because of the rain.

We understand, darling. See you soon, I love you.

Worrywart, Dumb-senpai. Take care of yourself as well. I love you.

Un. I love you too.

The two girls saying I love you at almost the same time if someone heard them, whoever that may be, he or she would surely be surprised that theyre addressing those words to the same guy.

In any case, thanks to the rain, nothing of the sort happened.

Admiring the two girls' lovely smiles before the screen turned black, I made my entrance to the Administration in an extremely great mood.

Although there were still teachers inside the Faculty Room, its already less than what I saw earlier.

When I took a quick peek inside, Shio was back at her desk and the other female teachers were crowding around her as if theyre waiting for her to finish so that they could now go to that get-together they planned.

Well, I immediately moved away in case someone saw me again. Once was enough. They would surely begin speculating if they saw Shios pet in the faculty and looking at her one more time.

Youre finally here. This student really made us wait. Deduct a point in his class record, Ryouko.

Orimura-sensei remarked as soon as she saw me arriving at Eguchi-senseis room with her lips arced into a smirk.

Looks like shes getting back at me from the embarrassment she felt yesterday, huh?
