Get Together..

Taking a deep breath, Reina forced her dazed eyes to focus and replied, "R-Rina~ What's up?"

"Huh?"

"You remember how you said we'd meet up today?"

"Don't tell me you forgot! We're all here waiting for you!"

"…"

With her mind was blank, and her head buried in the pillow, Reina paused for a while without answering.

"Hey, hey! Speak up, stupid Reina, what are you doing!?"

"Oh~ I'll be there..."

"Tsk~ Then hurry up, we are all waiting for you!"

Beep~

After hanging up the phone, the girl said with tears in her eyes and biting her pillow:

"I'm sorry, Fuyumi... I, I shouldn't have said that... Really..."

Seeing Reina's crooked mouth and slanted eyes, with an expression like a cat under anesthesia, Sasaki straightened her body and held her in his arms:

"Last round~ If you help me clean up after this, I'll forgive you, how about that?"

"Well, okay, okay."

Maybe that was really her weakness, or maybe it was too much of a stimulation for her to do it for the first time.

In short, before Sasaki could even exert any strength, this fearless blond kitten meowed for mercy.

It hadn't been that long since early ten in the morning and now it was early one in the afternoon...

Compared to Kyouka and Otome, this amount of time was indeed not long.

But for Reina, it seemed a bit too long...

After taking a shower, and getting dressed.

Sasaki sat on the other intact bed and looked at the who was drinking water with her head tilted back:

"Why don't you cancel the party? I see you're having trouble walking. You might as well sleep here for a while."

"We agreed to go to karaoke together, and I stood them up for no reason. Who knows what they'll do to me. I have to go."

Without avoiding Sasaki, Kurashiki Reina put on her clothes under his scrutiny and said:

"Fuyumi, do you want to go with us? We are all girls~"

The flowers in his house were more fragrant than wild flowers...

So, there was no need to mix with wild flowers outside.

Hence, Sasaki shook his head:

"No, after I send you there, I will go back..."

Different from his current appearance which was as calm as a holy Buddha, Kurashiki Reina, being filled with..cough happiness for the first time, wanted to stay with him for a while longer and take him to show off to those guys.

So, hearing that he didn't plan to go to the party with her, she sat next to him on the bed like a well-behaved kitten, holding his arm in her arms and rocking him:

"Go ahead, go play for a while. It's only afternoon now, there's plenty of time. You won't have anything to do when you get home."

"…"

No..there's Rinka, Otome, Momo, Yukiha, Kyouka, Ayumi and Natsuha...he could choose any of them.

How could he have nothing to do?

Shaking his head, Sasaki still didn't want to go:

"You said it yourself, all the people going to the party are girls, why should I go as a boy? I can't sing."

Seeing that he was unmoved, Kurashiki Reina let go of his arms and sat astride his arms, locking her long, white, beautiful legs behind his waist and shaking her slender, flexible waist:

"No problem~ You don't have to sing. You can just come to eat, and you don't even have to talk~ Come on~ Please, Fuyumi~"

"…"

Sasaki has not known Kurashiki Reina for very long.

But from her tone of voice, the way she looked at others, and her mannerisms, he could still get a general sense of her personality.

Dominant, bossy, arrogant, self-centered, traits that some..no many might consider outright unpleasant—all seemed to vanish in front of him.

Around him, she was like a little kitten, rubbing against him affectionately and acting coy.

Sasaki himself wouldn't believe it if he said he wasn't secretly happy.

He raised his hand and gave her a light pat. Hearing her soft, pained exclamation, Sasaki gently soothed her and said:

"Behave yourself now. Do you still want to do what we did just now?"

Reina Kurashiki was extremely self-centered, so she was confident in her appearance and figure.

At the same time, she liked to please herself and was obsessed with things that made her happy and comfortable.

This was also the reason why she would act coquettishly and submissively towards Sasaki after becoming close to him.

But no matter how much you like it, it would be a pain to eat more when your body is full.

So she immediately calmed down.

After she calmed down, Sasaki gently stroked the spot where he had lightly smacked her earlier and said:

"I don't mind going with you for a bit, but I won't stay till the end."

As long as he showed up, that would be enough.

Kurashiki Reina wrapped her arms around Sasaki's neck and gave him a kiss.

"Alright, just accompany me for a little while, and then you can come and go as you please."

"Alright, let's go then."

Sasaki gave her a playful pat, then tossed her a few small bottles and a skewer of candied hawthorn from the bed.

"Take these with you. You might find them useful later~"

"…"

Blushing a bit, the girl put the skewer, which Sasaki had rinsed, into his bag.

They left the hotel, took a car to the place where she had arranged to meet her friends.

When they entered the private room, they greeted the eight or nine girls already there.

"Reina, you're so late~"

"Yeah, do you know how long you kept us waiting?"

"You were the one who organized this get-together, after all~"

"…"

"Haha~ I just got a boyfriend, so I was busy with, well, couple things, you know~" Reina said with a playful smile, completely unbothered by her tardiness.

Then, looping her arm through Sasaki's, she introduced him to the girls in the room:

"This is my new boyfriend, Sasaki, from another school. Handsome, right?"

Sasaki played along, wrapping an arm around her shoulder and nodding politely at the girls with a smile.

"Hello~"

Reina was quite the romantic, and so was Tsushima Rina.

So naturally, their friends were no different.

The moment Sasaki walked in, most of them had their eyes on him.

Now, seeing his smile, they immediately crowded around Reina, bombarding her with questions.

"Ah! Reina, when did you start dating him? You kept it so hidden—we had no idea~"

"Yeah, you should have told us so we could give our approval at least!"

"Oh, please, I know exactly what's on your minds."

"Hey, Reina, didn't you move a bit too fast? It's only been a few days—don't get too serious now!"

As Reina was pulled aside by the other girls, Sasaki was immediately surrounded by a few others as well.

"Hey, handsome~ How long have you known Reina?"

"Yeah, yeah, she said you're from another school. Which one? Do you live nearby?"

"Hey, hey, calm down, you lovebirds~"

"…"

Though Sasaki had expected this, the rapid-fire questions still left him feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Luckily, he wasn't the main focus of the gathering.

Once they started their games, the girls lost interest in grilling him.

After playing a few rounds of Ludo and King's Game with them, Sasaki slipped out on the pretense of going to the restroom.
