In crossover anime, who isn't a childhood friend?

This includes Utaha, who, like Yukino, almost never eats anything at night.

I guess I'm consuming enough energy in advance to prepare for some plans tonight...

Gen Chiya secretly glanced at Shiyu's fair legs, which were partially exposed under her loose yukata, and couldn't help but think that way.

As it approached ten o'clock, it was getting late, and we should have made up our beds and gone to bed as usual, just like last night.

However, perhaps because everyone had been cooped up in the hotel for most of the day, they hadn't used up much of their energy.

Rikka, still full of energy, suggested that everyone watch a movie together. Before anyone else could even speak, Yukino, who usually strictly adheres to the habit of going to bed early and waking up early, surprisingly nodded. Perhaps she felt that since it was a rare opportunity to go out and have fun, a little indulgence was an essential part of the trip.

Since both of them had already voted in favor, it was naturally difficult for others to object.

It's okay, it's okay, just consider it good things come to those who wait...

Yuan Qianye silently comforted his restless heart in this way.

Thus, after an adventure movie that often lasts more than two hours, it was already past midnight.

Strictly speaking, this is already considered to be the next day.

Rikka stretched lazily, while Yukino covered her mouth and let out her third yawn of the night.

After that, because everyone ate some nuts during the movie, those who needed to brush their teeth did so.

On his side, Chiya Minamoto laid out bedding. Unlike yesterday, he chose a spot on the tatami mat that was as far to the right as possible, away from the central partition door.

Increasing the distance can reduce the propagation of sound to some extent, but indoors, this only has a psychological effect.

The good news is that Rikka is hard to wake up once she falls asleep, and Yukino looks very tired after staying up all day, so she will most likely fall into a deep sleep later.

The only thing to worry about is Eriri, but it shouldn't matter. As long as Shiha and I are careful, we shouldn't make any noises that would wake her up.

With everything prepared, everyone said goodnight to each other, the lights in the room were turned off, and the room finally became quiet.

Chiya didn't hear Eriri and Rikka chasing Yukino around next door.

Get some sleep early...

Considering that there is still some time before everyone falls asleep, and that Shiyu is unaware that Saeko already knows her plan, and also to prevent others from noticing, she conservatively estimates that even if Saeko is fast, it will probably take her thirty or forty minutes to get to her side.

With this thought in mind, Yuan Qianye took out Baoshi from his bag and placed it under his pillow. He also placed a tissue next to him. After making these preparations, he silently took out his phone, turned down the brightness, and quietly started to kill time.

I want to emphasize again that the private room they booked this time has a horizontal rectangular layout when viewed from directly above.

Two of the sliding doors are open during the day, but can be closed at night to divide the room into three rooms, forming a horizontal "目" shape.

Gen Chiya was in the room on the far right.

In the dimly lit room in the middle, from left to right, Rikka lies on her side, her chubby thighs holding the pillow between her legs, already asleep.

Yukino was the same, but her sleeping posture was the same as her usual public persona—lying flat on her back. However, her sleeping face was much gentler than when she was awake, making it hard to believe that such a cute and delicate girl would have such a cold side in her daily life.

As for Eriri, who was on the far right and closest to Chiyo's room, she gently turned over. After Saeko had made that "criminal application" in advance, she had been excited and concerned ever since she was on the beach, and she couldn't fall asleep peacefully like she did last night.

The leftmost room.

Saeko quietly closed her eyes, her breathing shallow and even.

Shi Yu lay on the bed, her phone brightness turned down to the lowest setting, wearing headphones as she browsed female bloggers' guides on choosing clothing and lingerie with the theme of "attracting men."

More than half an hour passed like this.

Realizing that it was about time, Shiyu took off her headphones and tentatively asked softly, "Saeko?"

There was no response.

Utaha slowly moved closer, carefully observing Saeko's facial features by the moonlight streaming in through the semi-transparent sliding door that led to the corridor.

"Zezi?"

She called out softly again, but still received no response.

It's time.

Shi Yu felt a surge of secret joy mixed with a hint of trepidation at the thought of doing something naughty.

She slowly got up, not forgetting to take the small item she had bought at the convenience store she passed on her way home that evening, which had made her blush with embarrassment under the strange gaze of the female cashier.

Shiyu's movements were accompanied by slight sounds.

This was immediately noticed by Eriri, who was already prone to overthinking and very sensitive, and her body tensed up instantly.

Saeko-nee... she's not joking!

She...she's really going to take action!!!

…………

Volume 2: Chapter 140: Eriri opened the door a crack

The actual situation regarding Kasumigaoka Utaha is exactly as Saeko Busujima had guessed.

Aside from being impressed by Chiya's decisive and efficient identification of the culprit today, and hoping to receive his attention and care, there were other factors at play.

During the group stay on the trip, everyone was staying in the same suite. Under such inconvenient circumstances, Kasumigaoka Utaha still wanted to sneak into Minamoto Chiya's room without being discovered. It wasn't entirely because she had witnessed Eriri being "confessed" to by him so affectionately during the day.

Yes, she is indeed petty, but she wouldn't go so far as to obsess over a trivial matter when she already knows the specifics.

Anyway, ever since Saeko and Chiya teamed up to get her to silently agree to join this unconventional three-person relationship, her threshold in this area has been raised to a very high level.

When the school festival movie was being filmed, Chiya was simultaneously flirting with both the young lady of the Service Club and the pianist's daughter. Aside from feeling a little uncomfortable, she still managed to put up with it.

During the day, Eriri's situation was nothing more than a slight red alert in her eyes, not at all to the point where she needed to be on high alert or take precautions.

It just so happened that such a thing happened, which made Kasumigaoka feel that there was an opportunity. She thought that she might be able to use this opportunity to make Chiya feel guilty towards her.

You should know that guilt can be a good thing between people who love each other.

It can make the guilty party make concessions, become considerate, and even compliant.

So, strictly speaking, Kasumigaoka's angry state today and its subsequent actions can be considered, to some extent, an attempt to exploit the situation.

However, Ms. Kasumigaoka's acting skills were quite good, and her timing was just right, so Saeko and Chiya did not notice anything at all.

I've been bullied so badly by him in the past, and today I finally have a good opportunity to get my revenge.

Return all those past joys and pleasures, mixed with shame, humiliation, and the complex feelings of believing oneself to be a hopeless and terrible woman, to the very past!

Ms. Kasumigaoka's desire to take control and sing has never faded.

Except for the first time when she was treated relatively gently, for the vast majority of the time afterward, she was the one who was unilaterally made to cry.

Although the actual physical sensation was indeed very comfortable, that was not a reason for him to give himself no chance to catch his breath and to continue to exert himself with full force.

Most things in this world are not static; even the Earth's landmasses are undergoing tectonic plate movement. Tonight, the situation is bound to reverse!

With a sense of shame and the presence of other people next door, Qianye was hesitant and dared not, as he had done before, make a mess of himself without restraint.

It's time for me to take the lead this time.

Kasumigaoka stared at the small package in her hand and chuckled subtly.

In a sense, she is a very traditional Japanese person.

The idea of ​​subservience is usually kept hidden, but it will be revealed quite smoothly when given the opportunity.

With these feelings in mind, Shiyu used the faint light from her phone screen to check on Saeko's condition one last time.

Yes, I slept very soundly, no problem.

Looking at the sleeping Saeko, Utaha's smile deepened.

That time at the hot spring inn, Saeko tricked her, making her tired from exercising before bed, so she slept very soundly, allowing Saeko to steal her away.

This can be considered a form of retaliation. I can tell Saeko about it later, and I wonder what her specific reaction will be.

In addition, the specific way and tone of voice used to speak in a way that appears subtle and unassuming is also very important.

Shiyu was in a very good mood as she thought about these things, then slowly stood up and went to her travel bag.

Besides the little thing I bought at the convenience store earlier, I also took out some other things that I would need tonight.

Now that Saeko's side is fine and won't be an obstacle, the next issue is another.

How should we get to Chiya's room?

The most direct and shortest course of action is to simply open the sliding door, enter Rikka's room, walk to the other side, and then open their room's sliding door. That would be considered a success.

However, this will cause a problem.

Although the three people next door didn't know the specifics of their situation, they hadn't heard any movement from their side for so long, so they must have fallen asleep like Saeko.

However, it would be a big mistake to relax and think that you can act recklessly without any worries because of this.

Shiyu noticed the sliding door in the suite that was used to divide the three relatively independent rooms when she opened and closed it at night, although the sound made by the rollers below was not loud as it was pulled.

But that was when everyone was awake. Now it's late at night and there are no other noises, so the noise would be quite noticeable.

Furthermore, given that the room is completely dark with no lighting, if she accidentally makes a noise while passing by the next room, or even worse, accidentally bumps into or steps on someone, then her long-awaited plan for tonight will basically be ruined.

Her main purpose was to take advantage of this hard-won opportunity tonight to make herself suffer a little in front of Qianye, and also to give herself some good... um... enjoyment.

Instead of being caught sneaking around in the middle of the night by everyone present, looking like a sexually frustrated woman caught red-handed, she still had a sense of shame.

Therefore, she rejected the most direct but also the riskiest solution.

However, it didn't matter at all. While waiting for Saeko to fall asleep, Shiwa had already thought of another, safer plan.

She stood up and, like a cat, walked silently toward the French doors that led from the room to the courtyard.

She opened the door very carefully, slipped outside, and looked back into the room by the moonlight. Saeko was still sleeping soundly, and everything was going well.

After Shi Yu gently closed the door, she breathed a small sigh of relief, and her worries were mostly relieved.

She walked smoothly down the corridor to the outside of Yuan Qianye's room.

She reached out and pulled on the sliding door; it wasn't locked, and she opened it quite easily.

They must have already anticipated that I would be coming from here tonight...

Shiyu tiptoed into the room as usual, and closed the door behind her with her back turned.

She crouched down, kneeling on the ground, and used both her hands and feet to get to Qianye's side.

Put what you're holding aside for now.

She first brushed a strand of hair aside, then lowered her head and gently blew a breath near his ear.
