Chapter 30 – Don’t hold it back – Part 1

「Thank you for the delicious meal nanodesu!」
「Thank you for the meal. Thank you, Kamijou-kun. It was really delicious」
「You are welcome」

After they give their thanks, Nanase-san stands up.

「I will do the dishes」
「Eh, you don’t have to do that, you know?」
「It’s alright. Since you are letting me stay, I have to do at least this much」

Nanase-san quickly gathers the tableware and vanishes into the kitchen.

Then, Tina inquiries in a low voice.

「Why does Iori Oneechan look that sad nodesu?

I think a little and say.

「…… She was probably reminded of her hometown」
「Hometown, is it……」
「Un. Nanase-san has a lot of important people back in her hometown……」

Ah, I cut my words without thinking.

Tina has an absentminded look that looks somewhere far in the distance.

I regret stepping on a land mind.

「Tina, are you alright?」
「Eh, ah…… yes. I’m alright nodesu yo!」

A smile returns to Tina’s face.

I slightly bit my lip and mutter “Then that’s good.”

「Nevertheless…… this country does some terrible things」

Tina who knows my and Nanase-san’s circumstances says.

She tightly closes her fists and looks sorrowfully.

「Yes, that’s right」

I deeply agree.

◇◇◇

「Now then, about today’s biggest problem」

I fold my arms in the bedroom.

A king sized bed is in front of me.

As the owner of the church, I cleaned it properly.

Only this bed is in the room.

To say it further, this whole church has only this bed.

When I explain to Nanase-san,

「…… That means that you, Kamijou-kun, sleeps with Tina-chan every day here?」
「First of all, won’t you stop looking at me like a criminal?」

I desperately try to explain the situation with Tina.

「Tina-chan, is it the truth?」
「Yes! Rather, it’s me who snuggles to Takuma-sama when he goes to sleep!」

I sigh and make a proposal.

「For the time being, use this room as you please, Nanase-san. I and Tina will sleep in the living room」

Let’s sleep in separate rooms.

I wouldn’t do anything strange, but in addition to the mixed bathing, I can’t let Nanase-san let suffer any more mind damage.

I thought so, but

「Wait a second」
「N?」
「Why is it that Tina-chan has to go sleep with you, Kamijou-kun?」

Crap.

I went in flow with my usual habit.

「Iori Oneechan, are you lonely?」

Tina asks while looking into Nanase-san’s face.

「I, it’s not like I’m lonely…… but, I thought if Tina-chan sleeping together with Kamijou-kun is ethical」
「Et, hical……? Uun, I don’t quite understand, but…… ah, right!」

Tina takes a step forward.

Are, why this feels like a deja vu?

「How about everyone sleeps together nanodesu?」
