Arranging Group War

"Can't I scratch your palm?"

Seeing Naoki stop scratching his palm, Itsuki scratched his finger again.

Naoki replied silently.

"I also."

Itsuki refused to admit defeat, and scratched his fingertips again.

In the darkness, the two of them came and went, under the cover of the night, fighting for three hundred rounds... Actually, not much.

Naoki moved a few times and quickly lost interest.

Only children like to scratch their palms, and adults are naturally more interested in sleeping.

"Eh?"

On the other hand, Itsuki was addicted to the game, and scratched Naoki's palm. As a result, after waiting for a while, Naoki didn't move.

"…Why aren't you moving?"

"Tired." Naoki replied, "I can't move."

"What, it's definitely less than 3 minutes."

Itsuki was disappointed, obviously a little dissatisfied.

Don't think that 3 minutes is not hard work! The silverback gorilla, the strongest primate on earth, lasts less than 3 minutes!

Naoki woke up at 5:30 this morning and played a board game with Ogata Rizu... He was really sleepy.

"My eyes hurt a little." Naoki yawned "I was sleeping."

"Wait a moment."

Itsuki suddenly became anxious.

Naoki turned to look: "What else?"

"That…" Itsuki parted his lips, his face turning red. Finally, she closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, "It's fine."

You haven't kissed me tonight... How could she say such a thing!

Itsuki closed his eyes hard, feeling guilty in his heart: "Sorry everyone, I can only let you down tonight…"

The next moment, Itsuki suddenly felt that his palm was being gently scratched again.

Itsuki turned his face suspiciously, and saw Naoki looking at her calmly with the same sideways posture.

Four eyes facing each other.

Itsuki suddenly understood Naoki's gaze, the temperature on his face rose rapidly, the speed of his heartbeat accelerated, his eyelashes trembled for a while, and finally she chose to become an ostrich in the desert, his eyes suddenly closed.

Naoki gently approached and kissed Itsuki's soft, moist, and icy lips that still had the sweetness of milk.

Itsuki gripped Naoki's hand, his eyes closed even tighter, but his lips parted shyly in a dizzy state.

Even though she really didn't want to admit it, this feeling… She couldn't deny it at all.

When she opened his eyes again, Itsuki was surprised to find that she appeared in a dark and gloomy area, surrounded by rocks and domes.

"Itsuki, are you awake?"

A very familiar voice rang in his ears, and without turning his head, he could tell that the speaker was Yotsuba.

Itsuki turned his head and saw Ichika, Nino, Miku, and Yotsuba around her, all wearing summer pajamas, and looking a little confused: "This… what place?"

Yotsuba said confidently: "This is a dream world, we really entered."

Nino looked around curiously: "No wonder Itsuki always says that the dream world is so great, and it really feels the same as the real world."

Miku nodded lightly: "But I can't feel pain."

"It's normal not to feel pain in a dream." Nino complained, "If you feel pain, you should ask for help."

Itsuki wakes up quickly, carefully remembers things before going to bed, takes a taxi with Nino and Miku, then reads manga, eats snacks, watches TV, takes a shower, and all sorts of things before going to bed... The memories are very vivid.

She stretched out his right hand and pinched himself lightly. As expected, as Nino said, she didn't feel any pain.

"It's a dream."

Itsuki turned to look at Naoki with a look of anticipation on his face: "Asakawa-san, what kind of dream is this?"

For Itsuki who aspires to be a magical girl, his dream adventure is very exciting.

"I don't know." Naoki shook his head and said, "The environment should be a cave or underground, but before meeting an iconic person or monster, it is impossible to determine what the dream is."

"Shut up-"

Miku gently tugged at the hem of Naoki's clothes, reached out and pointed forward, and said softly, "I heard a strange sound in front of me."

Naoki looked up, the depths of the cave were dark, and he couldn't see clearly: "What are you saying?"

"Of course we go to find out." Nino was full of momentum, "By the way this is a dream, so what are you afraid of?"

Nino looked at Naoki as she spoke.

Naoki looked at Nino: "What are you looking at?"

"It's so dark in here, of course you walk in front." Nino turned his face away, "Let's quickly take the lead."

Naoki said quietly, "You're scared?"

"Who's afraid!" Nino walked over through gritted teeth "I don't want you anymore, I'll go alone!"

Naoki followed Nino unhurriedly, and the other girls followed.

There was no overhead light, only a silent stone dome, either in a cave or underground. Fortunately there is a lot of moss growing underground, emitting a faint fluorescence and providing a lighting effect.

"Amazing." Yotsuba stopped in front of the dimly glowing plant, stretched out his finger, and poked it gently, the entire glowing plant quickly gathered its leaves and shrunk into a ball, "Asakawa-san, in a dream why is there such a magnificent plant?"

"Humans are limited to their own thoughts and knowledge, and even in dreams, they cannot create something they have never seen or heard of." Naoki stood beside Yotsuba, "Whether it's luminous plants or animals are very common in reality, such as glowing squid, jellyfish, fireflies, and so on."

Naoki stretched out his finger and lightly touched the glowing plant not far from the Yotsuba. The leaves of this plant suddenly shrunk, as if someone had turned off the light switch: "Do you feel familiar?"

"The reaction is very fast, life-like." Yotsuba suddenly said, "Can suddenly grow two legs, then run?"

Itsuki nodded in agreement: "I'm also a little worried."

Naoki sighed: "This is your stereotype."

"Eh?"

"Humans only need two legs to run. For plants, if they only have two rhizomes, they won't be able to absorb the nutrients they need." Naoki said blankly, "Those two-legged tree people in the movie are really from the human imagination replacing itself, if there are tree people, it is a dense rhizome that creeps everywhere. "

"Huh~" Nino hugged his arm, "Sounds disgusting."

Miku thought, "Looks like… mimosa?"

"The answer is correct." Naoki looked at Miku and nodded in appreciation, "Full score."

"So." Yotsuba patted his forehead "No wonder it looks familiar."

They continued to move forward, and the voice that Miku heard quickly became clear, and everyone could hear a rustling sound coming from the front, which was quite noisy in the darkness.

Ichika: "His voice seems to be up front."

Miku: "I don't know what it is."

Yotsuba: "Could it be a dwarf that lives underground?"

The Quintuplets discussed excitedly.

Nino who was walking in front, slowed down and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Naoki, obviously a little scared.

Although she knew it was a dream, except for the lack of pain, all other aspects were very real, and it was easy for people to be unable to distinguish between dreams and reality.

Naoki stopped bullying Nino, took two steps forward, and walked to Nino's side.

Nino heaved a sigh of relief, turned his face away and said, "What are you doing here?"

Naoki tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Then I will return?"

"...Don't think about it!"

Nino angrily grabbed Naoki's hand, "Walk with me. If you're in danger, I'll leave you to buy time."

"Good idea." Naoki nodded lightly and looked at Miku "But right now, shouldn't the slowest runner be left behind?"

Miku is a homebody girl, hates physical education classes, and hates anything related to sports, the first person to be caught must be Miku.

"You really want to leave me." Miku stabbed Naoki's arm, "Guilty, Harakiri!"

During the conversation, they walked to the end of the cave, and the field of vision in front of them suddenly widened. A large and spacious room appeared in front of them. On the ground, there were countless small white spiders crawling.

Suddenly seeing such a shocking and terrifying sight, the Quintuplets opened their eyes at the same time, even though they knew that everything in front of them was just a dream, the speed of their heartbeats increased suddenly, and then a voice suddenly sounded.

"Aa-"

Nino raised his hand to cover his lips, and his face quickly turned pale.

"Spider!"

"So many spiders!"

Hearing the voices of several girls, the huge underground cavern instantly became silent, and countless spiders turned their heads to look at them.

In the darkness, countless spiders rushed like a tidal wave. Except Itsuki, the other four girls remaining is the first time they entered a dream consciously not responding. After all, they only had one experience, and were not skilled at all.

Naoki looked indifferent, stretched out his right hand towards the soaring spider, and was about to clear the field with a single shot of the celestial star, when his arm was suddenly hugged by Miku.

Miku's face was pale and nervous: "Hurry up, run!"

Naoki said wordlessly, "You don't have to run..."

Unfortunately before those words were finished, Nino hugged him arm from the other side, and pulled him back with Miku.

After every few steps, Naoki noticed that Nino's speed had slowed down, and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you running slower than Miku?"

The person with the worst stamina is definitely Miku, why are you the last!

Nino's tone was confused: "My legs are a bit soft..."

On the way just came here, you still swear, as if you gave up, and now at a critical moment, it has turned into a soft-legged shrimp, Nino is not as brave as Miku!

Naoki stopped, stretched out his right hand and embraced, and immediately threw Nino on his shoulder, and turned to see Miku panting, his face was pale, obviously exhausted, so he threw Miku on his shoulder, then he chased after Yotsuba and Itsuki.

After a while.

The gasping sisters finally stopped.

"Hu~hu~" Ichika held her knees with both hands, she breathed heavily, "No, I can't run anymore."

"Wait a moment." Itsuki also breathed lightly, and finally said, "This is a dream, why are we running?"

A sudden word made the Quintuplets speechless.

They looked at each other and finally reacted.

Yotsuba patted his forehead: "Yes, we are dreaming, there is no need to run away."

"It feels too real." Ichika clutched her chest, "I completely forgot that it was a dream."

Nino said nervously: "This dream is very real. If we don't run, we'll be eaten by the spider?"

People whose legs are weak after taking a few steps, stop talking!

"No problem." Itsuki looked at Naoki and said to itself, "Asakawa-san is very strong, and will never lose to that spider."

"Huh." Nino pouted, "He's so strong, why did he run?"

Naoki sighed: "Actually you and Miku hugged me and ran away without giving me a chance to talk."

"Asakawa-kun~" Ichika's voice sounded faint, "Speaking of which, put Nino and Miku down first, right?"

Only then did Nino and Miku realize that they were still sitting on Naoki's shoulders, and hastily said, "Quickly let us down."

"Asakawa-san is amazing." Yotsuba exclaimed "Nino and Miku together, you can still run so fast when they are hugged."

Naoki put Nino and Miku down, "Even if the five of you are together, I can hug."

In the dream world, he is invincible, and this weight is absolutely meaningless.

Itsuki blinked: "Did you think that spider just now looked familiar?"

Yotsuba nodded: "This dream is familiar, I think I've seen it somewhere."

Ichika looked at Naoki and said "What if it's [Kumo Desu ga, Nani Ka?] from the manga?"

"Should be right." Naoki nodded lightly, "What are you going to do now? Continue the adventure?"

"Just forget it." Nino hurriedly shook his head, wrapped his arm around his shoulder, looking disgusted, "Spiders are disgusting, and I don't want to see those things again."

Itsuki only reveals Nino's dark history: "A spider once fell on Nino's neck when she was a child, and since then she has been very afraid of spiders."

Naoki looked at Nino with a meaningful look, "No wonder you just..."

Before he could finish speaking, Nino quickly stepped forward, covered Naoki's mouth, and looked at him shyly: "Don't talk nonsense!"

It's really embarrassing to be scared in a dream, and no one should mention it!

"I think this is interesting." Ichika calmed down quickly and looked at Naoki sadly, "Asakawa-kun~"

"Not." Naoki said curtly, "You think too much."

Ichika blinked: "I haven't asked anything."

Naoki: "I already know what you want to ask."

Itsuki was curious: "What does Ichika want to ask?"

"She wanted to ask if I could fight monsters and level up." Naoki shook his head and said, "This is a dream, not a game… Maybe you can give it a try."

"That's enough."

They shook their heads one after another, even if it was just a dream, they didn't want to experience what it was like to fight spiders.

"I suddenly felt that Kumoko was very strong." Ichika said softly, "She has been reincarnated into a spider, and she can still be so optimistic and cheerful."

Yotsuba nodded: "If it was me, I definitely wouldn't have survived."

Bullshit, open hello protagonist, of course, you will be optimistic and cheerful!

Miku pursed her lips: "Asakawa, what do we do now?"

Naoki snapped his fingers: "Because of being unemployed... Let's study?"

"Hah?" Nino's eyes widened, "You're still thinking about studying at this time?"

Naoki looked at Nino: "Shall we fight the spiders?"

Nino stopped talking.

She used to think studying was boring and uninteresting, but now she suddenly found that studying was the least risky thing.

Miku suddenly became nervous, "Did you hear any strange noises?"
