"Haha~ So that's what this is about."
Chisato Nishikigi looked at Utaha Kasumigaoka with a happy expression: "Poetry Feather, why did you expose it so quickly? Didn't you say you wanted to keep it a secret?"
"I didn't say it!" Utaha Kasumigaoka was a bit annoyed, a blush appearing on her fair cheeks.
"It was all Thor! She just blurted out our business!"
"Our? You all were involved?" Shi Chen blinked, looking at the three of them strangely.
"Hehe~ It's nothing big, it's just that we take turns sleeping in Chen ge's bed," Chisato Nishikigi confessed openly.
"Sleeping in my bed… Why?"
Shi Chen's gaze fell on Utaha Kasumigaoka. Thor and Chisato Nishikigi were understandable, but why would she do such a thing with them?
"Why are you looking at me? You can't blame me!" Utaha Kasumigaoka glared at Shi Chen, her face red.
"I'm not blaming you… It's just sleeping in my bed, why would I blame you?"
"Hmph~"
"Quick, tell me what happened," Shi Chen asked, interested.
"Ask Thor!"
"Thor?"
"Lord Chen, it's nothing much. It's just that after you left, Chisato and I didn't need to sleep together anymore. I originally wanted to sleep in your room, Lord Chen, but Chisato wanted to sleep there too!"
At this, Thor shot Chisato Nishikigi an annoyed glance.
"What are you doing?" Chisato Nishikigi protested: "You're allowed to sleep in Chen ge's bed, but I'm not?"
"You two can even argue about this." Shi Chen shook his head helplessly: "Can't you two just sleep together? The bed isn't small."
"Hmph, I don't want to sleep with Chisato!"
"I don't want to sleep with you either! Your tail is so big, it'll definitely take up space!" Chisato Nishikigi retorted, unwilling to lose.
"What? Lord Chen clearly likes my tail."
"What does Chen ge liking it have to do with me? I don't have Chen ge's special hobbies."
"Wait! What do you mean 'special hobbies'?" Shi Chen quickly interjected.
"It's just that Chen ge likes dragon girls or something," Chisato Nishikigi pouted, looking at him resentfully.
"...What does that have to do with special hobbies?"
"If you don't like normal girls, isn't that a special hobby? Poetry Feather, don't you agree?"
"Indeed." Utaha Kasumigaoka, who was on the side, nodded.
"I like normal girls too, alright?" Shi Chen retorted.
"Is that so? Then why doesn't Chen ge make a move on me? I'm so cute, and my figure isn't bad, so why can't I attract you?" Chisato Nishikigi asked.
"..."
Shi Chen was silent; this was truly difficult for him to explain.
Bad timing? Not enough atmosphere? No chance to be alone?
They were familiar enough, but because Thor was always with them, he never had a chance to get intimate with Chisato Nishikigi.
He couldn't possibly make a move in front of Thor, could he?
He couldn't do that for now. After all, if Thor learned bad habits and started touching him in front of everyone all the time, what would he do?
She was a dragon; she had no human sense of shame.
As for sneaking around… that might not be impossible?
Although Thor was very aware, she would definitely relax her guard when sleeping at night. That would be a chance to sneak around with Chisato.
It sounded quite exciting.
Although Shi Chen had an idea, Chisato Nishikigi didn't know it. She pouted and said with certainty: "Chen ge, you really do have special hobbies."
"Nonsense." Shi Chen unhappily reached out and flicked her forehead.
"Ugh… Chen ge is angry out of embarrassment," Chisato Nishikigi said, covering her forehead.
"Chisato, I suspect you're deliberately causing trouble. The matter just now hasn't been clarified yet… Poetry Feather, what kind of look is that?"
When Shi Chen looked at Utaha Kasumigaoka, he found her gaze a bit strange.
"Hmm… I'm just starting to suspect your preferences too," Utaha Kasumigaoka nodded, her expression quite serious.
"...Don't try to change the subject!"
Shi Chen ignored her and questioned: "Quick, tell me why you also started sleeping in my bed."
"Ugh…" Utaha Kasumigaoka became shy again, but at this point, it couldn't be hidden anymore.
"It's all because Thor and Chisato insisted on fighting over your bed and wouldn't give in, so I suggested they take turns sleeping in your bed."
"Taking turns, huh… And then you joined in?" Shi Chen asked with a smile.
"What are you doing? Is it not allowed? Don't misunderstand, I just felt that since we live together, it wouldn't be good for one person to be out of sync, so I cooperated with them. I'm not interested in your bed," Utaha Kasumigaoka explained, her face red.
"Is that so?" Shi Chen continued to smile.
"..." Utaha Kasumigaoka glared at him, annoyed and embarrassed.
"Lord Chen, Poetry Feather is lying!" Just then, Thor interjected, exposing Utaha Kasumigaoka.
"Poetry Feather loves Lord Chen's bed! She always hugs Lord Chen's blanket and sleeps especially soundly!"
"I did not!" Utaha Kasumigaoka immediately retorted.
"Hmph~ Then why do I always have to wake you up when you sleep in Lord Chen's bed, but you wake up so early when you sleep in your own room?"
"It's because you insist on coming over early in the morning, alright?"
"I'm just afraid you'll do something to Lord Chen's bed…" Thor pouted.
"Who would!" Utaha Kasumigaoka couldn't help but retort loudly.
"Alright, alright, that's enough." Shi Chen quickly interrupted their bickering.
"Kanna is still here; don't corrupt her."
"Shi Chen, Shi Chen, what does that mean?" Kanna asked softly.
"Nothing, you don't need to worry about it." Shi Chen patted her head.
"Oh~ Then can I sleep with you tonight?"
"Huh?" Shi Chen was stunned for a moment, frowning.
"You want to sleep with me? Why?"
"Sleeping together can make us closer. I want to get along well with you, Shi Chen," Kanna replied naturally, her little face serious.
"I see, but no."
"Eh? Why?"
"Of course, because Lord Chen is going to sleep with me!" Thor interjected, answering.
"Is Lord Thor going to sleep with Shi Chen?"
"That's right!" Thor put her hands on her hips and replied proudly: "With me sleeping with Lord Chen, you won't have a chance, Kanna."
"Wait, I'm here too, alright?" Chisato Nishikigi quickly said.
"Shi Chen, Shi Chen, is that right?" Kanna asked Shi Chen.
"That's not the reason. We just met, so we can't sleep together," Shi Chen explained with a smile.
"Then why can Lord Thor and the others sleep with you, Shi Chen?"
"Hmm… Because we've known each other for a long time."
"But if we don't sleep together, how can our relationship get better? Shi Chen, are you unwilling to have a better relationship with me?" Kanna instantly showed a pitiful expression.
"Ah, this… No, no, I really want to have a better relationship with Kanna."
"Then why can't we sleep together?" Kanna asked again.
"..."
He had forgotten that Kanna was also a dragon; she said whatever came to mind and had no normal concepts.
"Shi Chen really doesn't want to have a better relationship with me, does he?" Kanna asked, pouting aggrievedly.
In this state, how could Shi Chen refuse? To hell with his reserve!
"I do! I do! Then shall we sleep together tonight?"
"Okay!" Kanna immediately hugged Shi Chen happily.
He also started to smile, but Thor and the others weren't happy.
"Lord Chen, what about me?"
"And me!" Chisato Nishikigi raised her hand as well.
Only Utaha Kasumigaoka stood with her arms crossed, watching silently.
"Ahem."
Shi Chen looked at them, his expression serious: "Tonight, I'll be sleeping with Kanna. You two go back to your own rooms to sleep."
"How can you do that?"
"No!"
"Then what do you want?"
"We want to sleep with Lord Chen too!"
"Mm-hmm, we haven't seen you for a whole month, and there's still so much to talk about."
"...The bed can't fit four people."
"You can let Kanna sleep on Lord Chen."
"That's a good idea!"
"What nonsense is this? Will I even be able to sleep tonight? It's decided! You two go back to your own rooms to sleep. Kanna and I will sleep together!" Shi Chen said without explanation.
"Eh—No! We want to sleep with Lord Chen!" Thor began to whine.
"How about this? I'll leave my room for you, and I'll sleep in Kanna's room. That way, you'll also be sleeping with me."
"..."
