...It's a really clumsy lie.

If you feel uncomfortable, it should show on your face at the beginning.

Rather than reacting like this in the middle of dinner.

Nanami...you can't even lie.

When lost in thought, one would not care about what was happening right now. After all, what was going on was Hachiman's birthday party. After thinking, Arisu quickly returned to his smiling expression as before.

Well--

I'll ask about this kind of thing in detail when I get back.

Anyway - Nanami can no longer leave her happy life.

This will always be the case from now on.

----------

"Please come again next time, Arisu, Nanami-senpai."

After enjoying dinner and birthday cake, Nanami was making his final farewell gesture. Arisu bent down beside him to change into outdoor shoes. As for Asamura... he had been lying unconscious on the dining table since just now, and might not have plans to leave in the short term.

It’s finally over...the troublesome birthday party.

Turn around and take the first step forward.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound of a large amount of sand and gravel flowing in her ears. Nanami's face twitched and she looked out of the corridor.

In the distance, the tall buildings covered by rain began to become blurred under the night.

The rain came suddenly, without any warning.

"This... is really unfortunate..."

Nanami was staring at the rain in a daze. At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard behind her.

"Um... please wait a moment."

It was the voice of Hachiman's mother.

Nanami turned around and looked at the 'enlarged version of Hachiman' who was wearing home clothes and whose hair was still wet and not completely dry.

"Auntie...what's wrong?"

"Um... please stay. It looks like it's raining heavily."

...Indeed it is.

Nanami hesitated.

The nearest subway entrance is about ten minutes away. Rain of this severity can soak a person in just ten seconds. Bringing an umbrella may be able to provide effective protection...but then there is still a twenty-minute drive and about five minutes of walking.

If you get wet, the next period of time will be a torture.

Arisu-san's body...probably can't withstand this level of rain.

After all, it is late autumn now and the temperature is no longer as hot as before. Just a slight rain can cause physical illness.

If you catch a cold or a fever...you'll be in trouble.

After all, it was only Monday and there were still four days of work to do. If he wanted to make time, the only option was probably to ask for leave from Yukiko-senpai.

The best option right now is to wait at Hachiman's house for a while until the rain subsides or stops before making other considerations.

"Arisu, I plan to stay and wait for a while. The rain is a little too heavy now."

Nanami explained.

Arisu had the same plan in mind.

If you are unable to move freely due to physical reasons, your classes or part-time job at a convenience store will be affected.

The most suitable choice at the moment...

"I'm sorry, Auntie."

Nanami bowed straight ahead.

"Ah, this kid is really something. There's no need to be so polite. I'm very happy to be able to attend Anna's birthday party."

Mother Hachiman had a smile on her face... After looking at the top of the other person's head, Nanami suddenly felt that she couldn't look directly at him.

I see......

My husband is on a business trip...that's why this...shameful 'probability event' happened.

The probability of a 'self-O action' occurring...

Will reach 100 percent tonight.

Once you imagine a relevant picture in your mind, it will be difficult to forget it.

This is really not good...

----------

"Arisu, Nanami-senpai, if the rain keeps falling like it is now, you can stay here tonight."

When I stepped into the house again, Anna Hachiman was bending over to tidy up the messy dining table, while Asamura was lying flat on the ground staring at the ceiling, looking quite tired.

"Stay... No need, I plan to go back when the rain stops a little. I don't want to trouble Hachiman too much."

Nanami responded in a careful tone.

"Oh - but I think it's okay to stay, and I miss the feeling of sleeping with everyone."

Hachiman's tone of reply seemed quite calm.

But... after hearing these words, Nanami's face suddenly stiffened.

...Yawata-san! What are you talking about!

What's up with 'sleeping together'?

Even when traveling... we just sleep in the same bedroom, right?

Nanami looked up at Hachiman's mother who was looking at her with a smile, and suddenly had a strange premonition in her heart.

...It would be troublesome if some misunderstanding that is difficult to explain occurred.

"Ah, this kid is really talkative, um - but I didn't expect something like this to happen... It's really surprising."

...Don't take her words seriously!

At this moment, Nanami just hoped that the rain would stop as soon as possible.

This kind of embarrassing situation...whether it is intentional or unintentional, should not continue.

Please...

Chapter 244: Getting along with girls is a hassle

The rain lasted longer than expected.

A long hour has been spent in Hachiman's room. The rain is hitting the closed windows. Under the influence of white noise, Nanami, who is lying on the carpet, is almost unable to bear the sleepiness and falls asleep.

In contrast, the 'threesome' who were playing a card game next to him, with their faces covered with stickers, had no intention of worrying about the rain at all.

In the room filled with the sounds of fighting, Nanami acted in a way that was totally inconsistent with the atmosphere.

I really want to go back...

I'm so sleepy.

wow——

At this moment, the sound of the sliding door of the room being opened immediately made Nanami stand up straight.

If I guessed correctly...

"Everyone, you should go to bed as soon as possible. It's already ten o'clock and you have to go to school tomorrow."

The 'threesome' with labels all over their faces had no intention of paying any attention to the visitor.

After that… Hachiman’s mother’s gaze rested on Nanami.

"Um... do you want to stay? It's not good to go out in this weather."

Mother Hachiman's eyes reveal a gentle emotion... Her enthusiastic attitude, which seems enthusiastic to others, is full of incongruity in Nanami's eyes.

The line of sight will always subconsciously turn towards the top of the other person's head.

Then the mind will uncontrollably associate with related images.

Ah... that's enough...

This superpower is full of evil fun.

"Nanami-senpai, please stay here. You'll catch a cold if you go out in this situation. Besides, it's nice for everyone to sleep together."

Anna Hachiman also made a suggestion at this time.

Nanami took the opportunity to look around.

......Looking at the specifications of the room, it should be able to accommodate four people.

The 'trio' slept on the beds, and he, as the only male, slept on the carpet. Because of the added warmth-keeping measures, he had no problem sleeping all night even when the temperature dropped.

"Now that it's decided, I'll go prepare the bedding."

As if seeing through Nanami's embarrassment, Hachiman's mother took the initiative to take over the question.

Right now...there is no better choice.

Having made up her mind, Nanami stood up and bowed towards the front.

"Sorry to bother you, auntie. I'm really sorry for bothering you all the time."

"Ah, don't worry about this. To me, you are all children. It's only natural for seniors to take care of the juniors, right?"

After saying this, Hachiman's mother gently closed the sliding door of her room.

A few minutes later, the sliding door of the room opened again.

"Ah, let me do it."
