Chapter 160: Night Raids Are a Good Civilization

"Ahem, ahem ahem..."

On the delicate face as fair as jade, the blush had not faded, like the afterglow of an early autumn evening. A fair and slender little hand covered her plump cherry lips, the tender pink tongue still filled with a strange taste, though not unpleasant. With a gulp of her throat, she carefully and reverently swallowed it down.

Several strands of damp hair clung to the girl's smooth forehead, intertwined with fine beads of sweat, making her look like a swaying mountain camellia in a rainy night, enchanting with a hazy allure.

Those aquamarine eyes were now filled with mist, like the thin fog drifting across a midsummer lake, dazed and dreamy through the haze.

"Not a single drop... was wasted~"

———

No one knew how much time had passed.

With a soft "click," the tightly closed door finally opened, and the brother and Soyo came out from inside.

The girl sitting on the sofa looked up, but suddenly froze.

Noticing her friend's direct gaze, Nagasaki Soyo lowered her eyes, feeling a bit guilty.

Although Kaito had just used magic to clean up the traces on the scene, even completely removing the scent, and logically, Mutsumi shouldn't notice anything unusual—

'But, better safe than sorry.'

She lifted her head, trying to put on a natural and gentle smile, "Mutsumi, is something wrong?"

Wakaba Mutsumi withdrew her gaze and slightly shook her head, then gently walked over and straightened the slightly crooked gray ribbon under her collar, "Here, it's a little off."

"Ma-maybe it got bumped just now~", Soyo lowered her head for a glance; the ribbon was indeed a bit off, but just barely. One would have to look closely to notice it, it was no wonder she hadn't realized.

Anyway, as long as nothing was exposed, it was fine.

———

The night was like thick ink, swallowing the sleeping city into its pitch-black shadows.

Because it was already so late outside the window, going home alone at this hour was a bit unsafe, so staying the night had become the natural choice.

"There's still a spare guest room in the house... Of course, if you're not used to that, coming to my room is fine too," As a couple who had already shared the closest intimacy, Kaito didn't mind such things anymore. The main point was to ask Soyo's opinion.

But perhaps because of the sneaky intimacy behind Mutsumi's back, Soyo felt a strange sense of guilt when facing her friend.

Even though she was very tempted by the suggestion, she didn't dare agree, and instead chose another vacant guest room to sleep in for the night.

Still, it didn't matter.

After all, once the night was deep and quiet, she could still sneak into Kaito's room to continue what they hadn't finished.

Just as Soyo comforted herself like that, and even began to look forward to the late-night special activity, Wakaba Mutsumi, who had been unusually quiet since earlier, suddenly looked at her and softly asked:

"Soyo... want to come to my room?"

'Eh?'

This sudden invitation made the brown-haired girl a little troubled.

Sleeping alone in the guest room meant she could sneak out without worry.

But if she slept with Mutsumi, sneaking out would be several times riskier.

Yet faced with those golden eyes tinged with faint expectation, she didn't know how to refuse. She was also worried that if she was too firm, Mutsumi might see through her intentions.

"Wouldn't that be bothering you too much?"

Wakaba Mutsumi shook her head, paused, and softly said again, "If Soyo feels it's inconvenient, it's okay to say no."

"It's not inconvenient at all, how could it be inconvenient for me..."

Nagasaki Soyo sighed in her heart. Since things had reached this point, she couldn't say much more, "Then I'll be troubling you, Mutsumi."

Seeing they had reached an agreement, Kaito didn't think much of it. Before heading back to his room, he casually reminded, "There's warm water ready in the bathroom. If you don't mind, you can take a soak before sleeping. The bathrobes and towels are all brand new, placed on the shelf, feel free to use them."

Soyo nodded. She had indeed been thinking of taking a bath before bed.

Although her body had just been magically cleaned and had no strange smell, soaking in a warm bath would give a refreshing and renewed feeling.

Wakaba Mutsumi had the same thought. To save time, she decided to bathe together with Soyo.

The bathtub was spacious enough for two girls, more than enough.

However...

After undressing completely and facing the naked brown-haired girl before her, Wakaba Mutsumi still fell silent.

An indescribable sense of defeat swept through her.

Even though they were close in age, Soyo's figure... was just too unfair.

She had heard that boys preferred girls who were a bit more well-endowed.

Mutsumi lowered her head, looking at her own chest that could only be described as barely a handful.

'Onii-chan... is it the same for him?'

———

[An Hour Later]

The girls who had finally finished their bath returned to the bedroom, changed into pajamas, and wished each other good night.

Strictly speaking, this was Soyo's first time sleeping with Mutsumi.

Back when CRYCHIC hadn't disbanded, although the band occasionally had group activities, they usually just sang karaoke or had afternoon tea together, and everyone went home afterward, there was never a sleepover.

Though it was a novel experience, for Nagasaki Soyo... she still really wanted to sleep cuddling with her boyfriend.

The earlier "sneaky intimacy" not only failed to quell the fire in her heart, it actually fanned the flames even further.

Like a 1v3 final circle in a game, right after taking out two enemies, the computer suddenly crashes.

Or the power goes out at home, and a desperate pilot is forced to cancel the flight.

That kind of feeling, being stopped at the climax, could only be relieved by fully venting it out.

Time ticked by, and it was now 2:30 in the morning.

In the pitch darkness where one couldn't see their hand in front of them, Nagasaki Soyo opened her eyes.

The breathing beside her was soft and even, like a breeze brushing over a lake.

No lights were on in the room, and the curtains were drawn, but the boundless darkness couldn't affect her vision.

Soyo could clearly see the peaceful and beautiful sleeping face of the girl beside her. The light green long hair spread across the pillow, gently rising and falling with her breath, like a budding lotus waiting for spring's awakening.

"Mutsumi?"

The whisper was barely audible as it echoed in the room, but it never woke the sleeping girl.

Nagasaki Soyo let out a sigh of relief, gently lifted the blanket, and cautiously got out of bed, her movements light like a female agent sneaking into enemy territory.

Worried that her footsteps would make noise, she didn't wear shoes, stepping barefoot on the cold floor without making a sound.

'Good, just like that!'

Keeping a cautious posture, Soyo slowly reached the door, quietly and slowly opened it, then carefully closed it again.

With a soft "click," the room returned to silence.

At the same time—

A pair of golden eyes slowly opened.
