Hearing her words, Ruri couldn't help but roll her eyes at the girl before she took back the phone and put it into her skirt pocket. "..Those three girls aren't any worse than us, so there's no choice... although it's a bit different from what we expected, this way we can take more initiative.."
"..After all, he probably doesn't want Sakuragi Otome to know about this.."
"..Even if Sakuragi Otome is magnanimous... Natsuha won't be so tolerant.."
".."
Listening secretly at the third floor window, Sasaki's expression was somewhat strange.
He didn't know what expression to make.
He was definitely amused...
After all, no one hates being liked by pretty girls and Sasaki wouldn't be too hypocritical to say that he didn't.
Not to mention, these three were not ordinary pretty and moreover, it was their first time.
And there were three of them at the same time.
There were so many pluses that the score multiplied.
If they really asked gave themselves for free, he wouldn't mind at all..
But now ...hearing their plan.
To say he was excited... not really... because he was being threatened, and who knew how they might mess with him.
If they sought thrills, like having an outdoor party or something and got discovered by Otome, that wouldn't be good... After all, his preparations for Otome were still incomplete.
Although she had somewhat accepted the idea of him opening a harem, the girls should still be the ones accepted by her.
It's just that there were too many girls..and even mature beauties like Kyouka, Hyoudou..humans and succubus, so many already...which was too much for Otome's present limit, so he obviously couldn't let her know, for now.
As for the idiot Chifuyu...well, his plans still needs to step up.
"..Fuyumi, why are you standing by the window? Class is about to start.."
From the fourth floor, Natsuha called out weakly, bringing Sasaki back to reality as he walked to her side, put his arm around her waist to steady her unsteady steps and asked.
"..Momo and Akane have already left? Them like that..."
"..If you were afraid that they'd get tired climbing stairs, why did you use so much effort? Really... now you regret it, such hypocrisy.."
A bit annoyed at Sasaki's hindsight remarks, Natsuha glanced at him with her charming eyes and reached out to touch his cheek.
..Saying it like that sounds a bit like praising with the bowl in hand but cursing when putting it down..
Remembering they had indeed been holding it earlier, Sasaki's heart warmed as he sniffed lightly, reaching out to fix the bangs stuck to Natsuha's forehead from the light sweat:
"..Alright, alright, I won't do it next time then."
"..…"
That's not what she meant… don't you know what shyness is?
She couldn't possibly blame herself for the way she and the others had turned into weak-kneed messes, could she?
Wouldn't that make them seem... really, really...
Seeing him really start to feel guilty, Natsuha bit her small white teeth, suppressed the shame in her heart, and softly murmured.
"That's not what I meant either... Just try to hold back a little when you notice it's almost time for class..."
Sasaki's fingers tidying her bangs traced along Natsuha's smooth jawline to her sharp chin as he gently lifted her face and looked at her with a smile. "..What about when there's still a lot of time before class?.."
Already realizing he was teasing her, Natsuha knew she shouldn't answer him.
But between lovers, a little private talk couldn't hurt...
Feeling that she was getting more and more shameless, the girl pressed her legs together, her cheeks flushed with shyness, and whispered in her lover's ear.
"...Go all out..."
Lowering his head to press against her moist, glistening lips, Sasaki chuckled and nuzzled her cheek:
"You said it~"
Rising on her tiptoes to return his kiss, the girl was about to nod shyly when her expression suddenly changed.
Noticing her look, Sasaki also grew serious. "..What's wrong?.."
"Sli... never mind, it's nothing. I'll go to the washroom first."
Pursing her lips, Natsuha swallowed the words she wanted to say, instead, cast a teasing, resentful glance at her lover, quickly gathered her long legs, and trotted toward the nearby bathroom.
Noticing the awkwardness in her gait, Sasaki couldn't help but laugh.
Since it was a very minor issue, Natsuha soon emerged from the restroom.
The moment she stepped out and saw his grinning face, she gritted her teeth in embarrassment and annoyance:
"Let's see if you can still laugh if you ever become a father."
.
.
.
A father?
Sasaki was stunned, then smiled.
Although it was a bit early, if Natsuha wanted to, it wouldn't be impossible.
But it's not that simple.
Even though he returned that medicine back to Fujitsubaki, but he did it because, he felt that there was no complications.
After doing it with different women at different places and different times, Sasaki determined one thing.
That due to his special physique, everything he released inside their walls would be absorbed by them for nourishment, so there was actually nothing going inside their womb.
Under these circumstances, the chance of getting pregnant naturally dropped a lot.
Combined with the fact that he would never risk their well-being during dangerous periods...
Well... this was precisely why he could afford to be so unrestrained.
Because he was certain they wouldn't get pregnant so easily.
But he knew, that he might actually be able to control it after some practice, so, if they want...then maybe in a few years.
Noticing Natsuha's seemingly unbothered expression about the idea of children, Sasaki tilted his head with an amused smile, gently brushing his fingers against her smooth, soft cheek.
"..What if you really become a mom, Natsuha? Will you still be able to laugh like this?.."
Becoming a mom?
Blinking her wine-red eyes, which shimmered like rippling water, Shinomiya Natsuha placed both hands on her lower abdomen and looked down.
"..…"
She couldn't see.
The towering peaks of her chest, like rolling mountains, completely blocked her line of sight.
The tenderness in her heart was instantly replaced by embarrassment and annoyance, thinking her lover was teasing her again like last time, the girl raised her eyebrows and shot him a reproachful glare.
"..…"
He didn't mean it like that… he just didn't know she would look down.
Forget it.
Without bothering to explain, Sasaki wrapped his left arm around her waist and covered her hands, still resting on her stomach, with his right.
"..Natsuha hasn't answered me yet.."
She never refused any of his wishes when they were having sex… wasn't that the best answer? Yet here he was, still acting like an idiot, pestering her with questions.
Leaning sideways into her lover's embrace, Natsuha murmured indistinctly.
"..Idiot~"
Every girl looks beautiful when shy. Gently stroking her hair, Sasaki nibbled on her delicate earlobe and pressed her.
"Say it, I want to know."
The more he asked, the more flustered she became. Burying herself in his embrace, the blush on the girl's hidden face spread to her cheeks and then slowly crept up to her small, jade-like ears.
Feeling the earlobe between his lips grow hot, Sasaki applied a little more pressure, urging her.
Unable to dodge his questions, Natsuha slowly lifted her head, her eyes glistening as she bit her lip and answered:
"You'll… you'll know when you work hard enough to make me a mom~ Stop asking now, this topic is so embarrassing!"
That was already an answer in itself.
Smiling, Sasaki leaned down and kissed her tightly pressed lips.
"Alright then, let's talk about something else."
It was almost time for class. The hallway was filling with students who had just woken up from their naps and were out washing their faces.
Letting go of her waist, Sasaki instead took her hand and walked leisurely toward their second-floor classroom, speaking along the way.
"..Tonight I'll have to trouble you to send some stuff to Tsukimi.."
