Like yesterday, Otoha sent Hitomi to send us to school. Although Akane was okay with it, I noticed that shes silently pouting.

If I had to guess, she wanted to continue publicly showing our relationship. But with Hitomi picking us up for two days straight, she couldnt do that anymore.

Anyway, theres still the consolation that I would still be with her and drop her at her school. That was enough to ease her slight frustration with this situation.

After dropping her off, I naturally met up with some of my girls, asking Hitomi a favor one more time.

In any case, she had already expected what I would do. So after dropping us off in an obscure street earlier, she told me that shed park the car at the same place as yesterday.

To express my gratitude to her, before getting out of her car earlier, I boldly leaned towards the drivers seat, planting my lips on her cheeks. She accepted that expressionlessly but the slight tint of red streaking from her ears to her cheeks was enough indication that she liked it.

I guess Ill have to put that one in my goal, to let Hitomi become openly expressive when in front of me. Its fine if shes working and shes into her role as Otohas chauffeur but I kind of want her to be the same Hitomi as yesterday. The woman who had that weird creed of returning three times as much as what she received. I wanted to know more about her but chances were... I could only do that with this opportunity Otoha was giving us.

Anyway, a few minutes after I walked in the opposite direction of Akanes school, I successfully met up with one of my girls.

Even though shes just sitting calmly in that outdoor caf while sipping her coffee, Yaes gracefulness was on full display.

Although shes emitting a certain cold winter aura that prevented others from approaching her, spring instantly arrived as a sweet lovely smile bloomed from her lips upon spotting me from a distance. And the heat of her summer melted away the cold winter aura around her. Before I knew it, shes already shining brightly.

The girl could truly be described in different seasons as she could instantly show those three traits in quick succession.

Ah... Enough of that. I returned her smile and approached her. And before anyone could recognize me as Akanes boyfriend, I brought Yae away to a more deserted shop as we spent some time there, enjoying our morning.

Well, we couldnt just pick any deserted alley again like what happened with Ririka or Haruko. Its too risky today when both of us could easily gather a students attention. Besides, I was also wary of that guy from the newspaper club.

Yae was fine with it since she has that one day per week to sleepover at our house. Her longing for me was always being bottled up and unleashed during that day.

Even though I didnt ask them, its an obvious fact that the others were kind of envious of that privilege I gave to Yae and Haruko. In fact, this girl was thinking of not using it all the time. As her means to help alleviate my burden.

Although I wanted to rebuke her for that kind of thinking, I stopped myself. Its something that I gave her so as much as possible I didnt want to influence her decision in giving that away.

After all, shes thinking about the other girls who didnt have the same privilege. Furthermore, I wanted them to get along with each other.

Theres already that silent hierarchy and groupings that I heard from one of them. The Special Three consisted of Akane, Haruko and Yae. Then theres the Trio of New Favorites in the form of Kana, Satsuki and Nami. There are more groups but... with how I wanted to be fair to all of them, I was never keen on labeling them like that.

However, with the clear differences in privileges, its truly hard for them not to think about that.

And I had no other solution for that yet.

Thats why, although Im not agreeing to her proposal of giving away that chance for the other girls, I advised her to think it through thoroughly before deciding.

And with that, Yae happily accepted my advice. In the end, she somehow came up with a more unexpected approach.

What if I also bring someone else like Haruko?

Naturally, shes referring to how Haruko brought Serizawa-senpai and stayed overnight in our house.

I admit. Thats a tempting suggestion. Although Haruko and Serizawa-senpai used my previous room last time, if Yae brought another one of my girls then theres no doubt that Akane would accept her and allow her in our bed.

That girl was already easing up on them after all. Theres only me whos trying to maintain the fact that our room is initially the exclusive room only for the two of us.

Hmm... You know me. I love to be with all of you, so Im definitely positive about that idea. But Yae, are you sure? That means my attention would be further divided in our room.

Un... Its fine. I may still hold onto the wish of becoming your only one but I will not push it anymore. Sweetie is a big pervert who loves many girls after all. Knowing that you will never push me away again is enough for me. Yae grabbed my hand and put it on her warm face, letting me see how satisfied she was even with that tiny gesture.

Why do I feel like I am being taken care of by all of you rather than the other way around?

There goes my idiot sweetie. Of course, well never settle to be the only one on the receiving end. The same as how much you want to take care of us, were the same. Yae giggled as began rubbing her cheeks on my palm.

Thats right. Im being an idiot again... Good thing theyre always reminding me about it.

Yae can I kiss you?

That came out of nowhere, sweetie. We can be seen here.

Then lets go somewhere we cant.

No need.

After thinking for a while, Yae shook her head and put on a mischievous smile. Following that, the girl pulled my head down, catching my lips with hers. Seconds later, Yae switched her seat from across me to the one next to me.

Understanding her intention, I didnt wait for her to initiate it again and just picked her up from her seat and placed her on my lap.

Those who could see us naturally cursed under their breath, saying how shameless or kids these days. A few minutes later, we were kicked out by the owner of the shop.

Well, we truly acted shamelessly there but that was well worth it.

Sweetie, you went wild there. We got noticed by the owner because you put me on your lap. Yae laughingly said. However, with her fingers tracing her cherry-red lips, shes undoubtedly satisfied.

I cant help it, youre just too lovely. Theres no way Ill pass up that chance. I answered before reaching in to kiss her again. However, since were already on the street, it didnt last long.

Before we separated, I informed her about my parents arrival. Although theyre already aware of it, I still wanted to hear what they thought about meeting them. And it didnt come off as a surprise that Yae declared in high spirits that she wanted to greet her soon-to-be in-laws.
