"Natsuki, good evening~"
The girl's bright and pleasant voice reached his ears.
Amamiya Natsuki opened the door.
The automatic sensor light came on.
A blonde girl with a school bag slung over her shoulder stood outside the door, wearing a black choker around her neck. Under the light, the smile on her face was bright and triumphant.
It was Kitagawa Marin.
"Why did you come over so late without sending a message?"
Amamiya Natsuki spoke as he stepped aside to let her in.
"When I was taking a bath, there was an evil spirit in the bathroom that actually crawled out of the drain. It was so disgusting, and I used up my 'Evil Spirit Banishing.'"
Kitagawa Marin walked lightly into the entrance, handing over the school bag in her hand:
"Who knew another evil spirit appeared later and kept wandering around the house, refusing to leave? I endured it with great difficulty, thinking I had to enter the game tomorrow and needed to ensure enough sleep, so I came over... Aren't you surprised? Aren't you unexpected?"
After speaking, she burst into laughter herself, clearly quite proud of her 'sudden attack.'
Amamiya Natsuki said helplessly,
"Surprised, super surprised. Now I'm so excited I want to perform a backflip."
"Hmph hmph."
Kitagawa Marin hummed twice triumphantly, just about to continue speaking, when she suddenly heard a girl's voice from the balcony.
"Natsuki, what are you saying?"
"..."
The smile on Kitagawa Marin's face froze.
Following the sound, she could vaguely see a long-haired black-haired girl on the balcony.
From the voice, it was clearly Miko.
The clothes she was wearing were clearly pajamas.
It was almost eleven o'clock at night, and a girl wasn't going home; instead, she was wearing pajamas and staying at a boy's house...
Kitagawa Marin bit her lower lip, the bright smile on her face slowly disappearing. She looked down at her toes and said softly,
"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't know Miko was here... I'm disturbing you."
The blonde girl turned around, saying: "Coming over without sending a message beforehand is indeed too much... I'm going back."
Bang.
Amamiya Natsuki reached out and closed the door, raising an eyebrow: "Since you're here, do you still want to leave?"
Kitagawa Marin bit her lower lip, suppressing the grievance in her heart: "...Won't I disturb you two if I don't leave?"
Amamiya Natsuki said,
"It's just sleeping together, it won't be a disturbance."
"..."
Kitagawa Marin's eyes widened, like a pufferfish that had been poked, her rosy cheeks instantly puffed up.
S-sleeping together?!
You actually want me and Miko to sleep with you, how can you even say that!
Shameless!
Kitagawa Marin couldn't help but clench her fists and hit Amamiya Natsuki's chest. He had just kissed her this afternoon, and now he was doing 'that' with Miko tonight, and he even wanted a threesome...
Too much!
Today, she absolutely had to teach this scumbag a lesson!
Amamiya Natsuki grabbed the blonde girl's wrist, and with his other hand, he reached around Marin's waist, pulling the blonde girl closer to him with a slight force.
"W-what are you doing?"
A burning heat emanated from Amamiya Natsuki's arm, making Kitagawa Marin a little flustered.
"Coming and going as you please is too much." Amamiya Natsuki said seriously, "I need an explanation."
Kitagawa Marin wanted to bite him after hearing that.
He actually wants me to explain? At a time like this, shouldn't you be the one explaining!
"No explanation." Kitagawa Marin gently ground her teeth, glaring at him aggrievedly, "Believe it or not, I'll call Miko?"
Amamiya Natsuki turned his head and shouted,
"Miko, come here for a moment."
"Eh eh eh?"
Kitagawa Marin was shocked.
I didn't even call, and you called her first?
Won't it be awkward if you call Miko over!
"Coming."
Miko replied and walked over from the balcony.
Kitagawa Marin quickly pushed Amamiya Natsuki away with force and tidied her hair in front of her chest.
"Eh, Marin-chan?"
Walking through the living room and seeing the blonde girl at the entrance, Miko's tone was surprised, "It's so late, why are you here?"
"Cough cough, encountered some unexpected things..."
Kitagawa Marin coughed twice and explained the situation.
"Is that so." Miko nodded lightly, "Then let's sleep together tonight."
"Eh?"
Miko pursed her lips and explained her situation: "For the past few nights, after Mom falls asleep, I come over, and then I quietly go back the next morning... I get too sleepy in class."
"I see."
After hearing Miko's explanation, Kitagawa Marin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The truth was super simple; it wasn't what she had imagined at all. Miko was actually just like her, both forced to seek temporary lodging.
"I'll go get another quilt."
Miko finished speaking and walked upstairs.
"I'm sorry." Kitagawa Marin looked up at Amamiya Natsuki and said softly, "I misunderstood."
Amamiya Natsuki's expression was serious: "This isn't a misunderstanding, it's a false accusation."
"False accusation or whatever..."
Kitagawa Marin stammered, feeling a little guilty.
Thinking about it carefully, saying it was a false accusation seemed to be correct.
Amamiya Natsuki said faintly,
"Uncle, I'm really angry this time."
"That sounds terrible." Kitagawa Marin clenched her fists and playfully hit Amamiya Natsuki's chest twice. "It immediately makes me think of those greasy middle-aged men. You're not allowed to say that again!"
After a pause, Kitagawa Marin added, "I misunderstood you just now, and I apologize… Why didn't you tell me Miko was at your house sooner?"
Amamiya Natsuki spread his hands helplessly and said,
"Miko asked me to keep it a secret. You didn't go around announcing that we lived together before, did you?"
"Pfft."
Kitagawa Marin scoffed lightly, her pretty face slightly red, and she couldn't help but glare at him.
"It was only borrowing a place to stay, not living together."
"…"
As they spoke, Miko came downstairs from the second floor, carrying bedding.
Kitagawa Marin quickly composed herself and hurried over, "Miko-chan, let me help."
"No need, one person is enough." Miko pursed her pink lips. "Marin, do you want to take a shower?"
"It's not as hot at night as it is during the day, and the evening breeze is very cool, but I did sweat a bit walking over." Kitagawa Marin put her right hand on her hip and said, "I'll still take a shower."
"The towel you used before is still here." Amamiya Natsuki sat on the sofa. "It's in the second compartment of the storage cabinet. Go get it yourself."
"Got it~"
Kitagawa Marin waved her hand and turned to walk towards the bathroom.
Opening the storage cabinet, the clean towels, toothbrush, comb, teacup… everything she had used before was inside, neatly arranged, not a single item missing.
A slight smile played on her lips, and Kitagawa Marin took out her towel and began to shower.
By the time Kitagawa Marin finished showering, it was already eleven o'clock at night.
The three of them, plus Mrs. Shimizu, who was engrossed in her phone, sat on the sofa, chatting while watching TV. By eleven-thirty, Miko couldn't stop yawning.
"Turn off the lights and go to sleep."
Amamiya Natsuki picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.
The night was peaceful.
Not long after lying down, Miko's breathing became even.
Kitagawa Marin, on the other hand, wasn't very sleepy. She quietly turned her body and looked towards Amamiya Natsuki.
Sleeping alone at home before, the room always felt cold and desolate, and she was always worried about evil spirits popping out from time to time, keeping her on edge.
But now… her heart suddenly settled down.
She didn't know how long passed before sleepiness quietly crept in.
"Good night."
Kitagawa Marin softly whispered in her heart and closed her eyes.
