"Phew... we're safe."
Once inside the room, Shido let out a long sigh of relief.
"I wouldn't say we're safe. If those two decide to search the rooms, this is actually the most dangerous place to be."
Glancing around the room—which had almost zero hiding spots—Mikoto spoke anxiously.
"They wouldn't go that far, right?" Shido scratched his cheek.
"Strange. I'm sure I saw soone looking like Shido head this way."
During the pincer attack, Kaguya had caught a brief glimpse of Shido's shadow. Even though Shido and Mikoto managed to slip away, it also confird they were trapped on this floor.
"Questioning. Could he have entered a room?"
"Kukuku. What a bold move. To go this far just to avoid our night service."
"Agreent. We must show him Yuzuru's charm."
Following their conversation, the sound of doors opening echoed nearby. Kaguya and Yuzuru were checking the rooms one by one!
"Shido, you really collect flags at lightspeed, don't you."
Looking at the petrified Shido, Mikoto laughed helplessly. Because the teachers would be doing room checks later, none of the doors were locked. If they kept searching room by room, it was only a matter of ti before they reached this one.
[What do I do?]
Mikoto scanned the room. There were no closets. The bathroom was out in the hallway. The balcony... could be seen from anywhere in the room. In other words, there was absolutely nowhere to hide.
The only way was...
Looking at the futon laid out on the tatami mats, Mikoto thought of sothing, and her face flushed bright red.
But gritting her teeth, the young girl moved quickly.
She unrolled the futon, arranged the pillows, and slipped under the soft covers.
"Shido, hurry up and get in."
After finishing, Mikoto looked at Shido and urged him.
"S-Senpai!?"
Shido instantly understood Mikoto's plan. In a room with no hiding spots, you had to create one yourself. Like... under the covers.
"If you don't want to get in, that's fine. You can just wait to be dragged away by Kaguya and Yuzuru. Goodnight, Shido!"
Even though she was the one inviting him in, if the lights were still on, her face would definitely look red enough to drip blood. For a girl to go this far and have him still hesitate... looking at the flustered Shido, Mikoto puffed out her cheeks and simply pretended to be asleep. (TL:Ah Mikoto....please heal my pained heart after so...'chapter' over the there)
"Ugh..."
Hearing the sound of doors opening getting closer and closer, Shido knew he had no other choice. He quickly hid the indoor slippers he had been wearing, and with a blushing face and trembling hands, lifted the edge of the blanket.
The faint, sweet scent of the girl filled his nose. Even though he couldn't see clearly, Shido knew perfectly well that Mikoto's alluring figure was hidden right next to him under the soft covers.
"S-Senpai?"
The mont he slipped under the covers, Shido found himself pulled into Mikoto's arms.
"If you stay too far away, anyone looking will instantly know there are two people under the blanket, right?"
Mikoto had taken an extra pillow and placed it vertically under the blanket, leaving the top half exposed. From the outside, it looked exactly like she was just hugging a body pillow. But in reality, beneath the fake pillow, the girl was tightly hugging Shido.
"Shh... they're here."
Seeing Shido about to say sothing, the girl held a finger to his lips, then closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Right after, the door was opened.
"Mikoto, did you see Shido... Huh? She's already asleep."
"Surprise. It isn't even that late."
"Shido isn't here either."
"Affirmative. Since this is also Yuzuru's room, it would be pointless for Shido to hide here."
The two sisters chatted back and forth. Even though Yuzuru shared this room with Mikoto, they never considered the idea that the most dangerous place was also the safest.
(Ugh...)
But for Shido, he had absolutely no ntal capacity left to care about Kaguya and Yuzuru. His body, which had been shivering just monts ago from the freezing seawater, was now completely enveloped in the young girl's body heat and softness. Because he had scrambled into bed so hastily, his yukata had co slightly undone, resulting in Shido's cheek pressing directly against Mikoto's soft, alluring chest.
For a high school boy, this was a poison far too potent. Shido's rationality began lting away bit by bit.
"Phew... we're safe." Mikoto let out a long sigh.
Finally, right as the last thread of Shido's rationality was about to snap, Kaguya and Yuzuru left the room.
[I'm... safe too.]
Shido also let out a long sigh of relief. For him, the greatest threat was no longer the Yamai sisters's night attack, but his own rapidly lting self-control.
"Ehehe. In the end... Shido still couldn't escape the fate of sharing a bed with a girl."
Mikoto smiled and stuck her tongue out playfully.
[!!!]
Illuminated by the moonlight filtering through the window, looking at the girl's shy but mischievous expression, and feeling the soft curves pressed against him, Shido's ntal alarms started ringing all over again.
"Umm... since they're gone, I should probably..."
"Wait!"
Shido tried to scramble out of bed, but Mikoto pulled him right back into her arms.
"Mikoto!"
The next second, an energetic voice called out from the doorway.
[Tohka!]
Shido instantly understood why Mikoto had stopped him.
"Huh? Is she already asleep?"
Listening to the footsteps, he could tell Tohka had walked into the room.
"Wait, I sll Shido."
Right now, the girl's sharp nose was their absolute worst enemy.
[!!!]
Shido's heart started pounding wildly. Because his cheek was pressed right against the girl's chest, he could feel Mikoto's heart racing just as fast.
"Umu... Over here?"
The footsteps got closer and closer, stopping right beside the bed.
"Umm... Tohka?"
Just as Shido squeezed his eyes shut, thinking it was all over, Mikoto's voice spoke up from outside the blanket.
"Ah... sorry, did I wake you up?"
"It's fine. Did you need sothing?"
"Umu! Actually, I ca to borrow that novel from you, Mikoto!"
"Oh, right. The novel is on the table, Tohka. You can just grab it."
Mikoto smiled weakly, finally rembering that she had promised to lend Tohka the book this afternoon.
"Mhm! Mikoto's room... slls like Shido." Tohka happily grabbed the book, then tilted her head in confusion.
"Umm... that's probably because Shido stopped by here this afternoon."
"Is that so? Anyway, goodnight, Mikoto!"
"Yeah, goodnight, Tohka. Don't stay up too late reading, okay?"
"Umu!"
Tohka nodded happily and trotted out of the room.
"That was too close..."
The mont the door closed, Mikoto finally breathed a massive sigh of relief.
However, for Shido, the crisis was far from over... The young girl's sweet scent, warmth, and softness were constantly testing the absolute limits of his sanity.
"Well then, I should get going..."
"Wait!"
And it still wasn't over. Just as he tried to leave again, Reine ca by for room checks.
After that, Yuzuru returned. Having given up on finding Shido, Yuzuru washed up and simply went to sleep in the futon right next to Mikoto.
As a result, until Yuzuru completely fell into a deep sleep, Shido was forced to endure an agonizing trial of temptation and desire.
