They napped for an hour, lightly sleeping in each other's embrace, the unfamiliar arms of their new partners slowly becoming somewhat less so. Dekomori had lessened her death clamp around Yuuta's midsection as she rested, her blonde hair falling cutely around a face that looked completely innocent of all wrongdoing.

Rikka was the first to stir after a time, snuggling her shoulders back warmly into Shinka's cuddle. This feels really nice. She wanted to turn around, to kiss Shinka awake like Sanae had earlier - but she was too comfortable. Nibutani's warm body was pressed into her back, the swell of her chest pressing into Rikka's shoulders softly and warmly, her arms wrapped loosely around Rikka's stomach. I don't want to move, Rikka thought to herself. It's so different to cuddling with Yuuta. Shinka is a lot softer.

Rikka slowly dragged her fingertips down along the arm wrapped around her, marvelling at Shinka's feather-soft skin under her fingers. She took Nibutani's hand lightly in hers, cautiously pushing up her pyjamas with the other, pressing her sleep-partner's hand against the bare flesh of her stomach. It was hot against her midriff, Shinka's palm radiating heat. Rikka shut her eyes, focusing on the warm and pleasurable skin-to-skin contact.

Shinka stirred awake behind her. "You feel nice, Rikka," Shinka whispered, her breath tickling the nape of Rikka's neck.

Rikka flinched slightly, caught off guard. "S-Sorry," she whispered back. "I just wanted to feel you more..."

She felt Shinka lean in, the girl behind her smiling unseen as she kissed the top of Rikka's head. "It's okay. Here, I have another idea."

Shinka shuffled slightly closer into Rikka, slipping both hands now under Rikka's loaned pyjama top, gently rubbing the girl in her arms over the stomach, sides, and hips. Rikka shivered at the deliciously warm skin contact.

"Mmmm," Rikka hummed in pleasure, her lips gently parted and face slightly pink at Shinka's initiative. "That's what I wanted..."

Shinka smiled. "You're really soft, Rikka. And touching you like this is my pleasure, too." It was true; Shinka had a small, dreamy smile on her face as she ran her hands over the smaller girl, enjoying the bonding between them as she explored Rikka's body in a less sexual way.

Rikka began to fidget. "Can I turn around? I want to do this for you, too."

"Sure," Shinka replied. "So long as your hands aren't cold!"

Rikka twisted in Shinka's loose grasp, the hands on her waist drawing a semicircle around her as she turned around. Quickly enough she faced Shinka directly, matching Shinka's pleased expression.

"I really like this," Rikka said. "Here... wait. I want you to pull my hands in..."

Shinka gently did so, placing Rikka's hands on her own waist, before placing hers back on Rikka's. The two girls lay like that for a while, hands moving comfortably on each other, watching each other's pleased reactions, their hands enjoying the soft sensations.

Nibutani moved her hand up to Rikka's cheek, the girl's expression joyous under her fingers, her eyes shining. Shinka hesitantly moved her head forward, pausing before kissing Rikka. Rikka saw what she was doing and smiled even wider. "What are you doing, Shinka? You… you can kiss me whenever you want..."

Shinka bit her lip. "It's more romantic if I hesitate, right?"

Rikka shook her head. "Please, kiss me," she whispered.

Nibutani gently moved her head towards Rikka, placing her lips slowly against hers. The smaller girl arching her neck as their lips touched, Rikka's eyes closing softly and her mouth falling barely open as they kissed chastely.

Shinka pulled away after a few seconds. "Wow..."

Rikka's eyes opened a little, looking back at her. "Again," she murmured, her cheeks hot.

Her partner slowly moved back in and delivered another light kiss, their lips lingering together, the warmth of their wet lips bleeding into each other.

Shinka pulled back, blinking. "Rikka, I..."

Rikka's eyes glowed softly as she looked at Shinka, her tongue touching her lips slowly where they had kissed, a hand stealing up to where Shinka's was on her face. "Again."

Shinka moved in again, their lips pressing liquidly together again, Rikka's parted lips around her own, their kiss languid and gentle. It went longer this time, the two girls content just to do this for a little time, their light breathing tickling each other's face. Shinka's ears pounded, her chest feeling light. She didn't want to pull away, but had to in order to speak, her own lips parted in desire as she pulled a fraction away to get out her words.

"Ah," Shinka breathed, her head light. "Is this..."

"Yeah, I feel it too," Rikka smiled.

This time Rikka gently kissed Shinka, her head darting forwards, their hands moving chastely over each other once more. Shinka pulled back, her forehead to Rikka's, her face pink, a vibrant smile on her face. Her eyes shone as she stared longingly at Rikka, the feelings between them not needing any words.

Beside them, Sanae stirred sleepily, her eyes easing open, looking up and around slowly at the others. "Ugh," she rubbed her face, drowsy. "I'm not used to waking up and seeing you all in my bed, yet. Are you having fun there, my love?"

Shinka kissed Rikka gently, and finally, on the forehead, eyes looking past Rikka's shoulder at the newly-awake Sanae. "Not so much fun," Shinka offered. "We were just being close." She was met with a scowl. "Don't look at me until I've woken up properly," Sanae griped, hand still rubbing her face.

"Why? Afraid I might see something I like?" quipped Shinka.

"Hmf," Sanae grumbled, "this bed is full of things." She rolled over, seeing Yuuta still asleep, now a highly unsatisfactory state of affairs. She kissed him quickly on the cheek. "Wake up, Yuuta."

The boy slowly opened his eyes, shaking his head as Sanae pulled him out of nap and he could feel his face and body once again. He groaned, rolling away into an unoccupied space in bed, burying his face in a pillow. "Hf lng r e azeep," he muttered.

Sanae poked him in the back. "Speak Japanese, idiot."

Yuuta cleared the pillow out of his mouth. "How long were we asleep?"

"About an hour," she responded, hand between his shoulder blades.

"Not long enough," he grumbled, lowering his face back into the pillow.

Shinka smiled wryly, watching his face disappear. "Wake up, lover boy. You don't want to be left out whilst we all cuddle without you."

Rikka reluctantly disengaged from the cuddling session, crawling over to the truculent Yuuta. She laid a hand on his back; her palm was warm. "Yuuta, if you get up, I wanted to... Would it be okay if we all... touch each other?"

Yuuta twisted his neck, looking up at her uncertainly. "What do you mean?"

"Under the covers," Rikka continued. "Like, closer than sleeping. I want to be close with all of you. I thought it might be nice if we all.." She smiled, a hand rubbing her neck. "If we all got naked and touched each other. Not in a sexual way. Just to be close."

"Rikka and I were doing it before you two woke up," Nibutani explained. "Well, with clothes on. It'll probably be better without."

Yuuta smiled. "It sounds intimate."

"Does it involve kissing?" Sanae pouted, her lips stuck out petulantly. "I wanted to kiss some more…"

Rikka said nothing in response. Instead she gently took hold of her servant's face, placing the same kind of chaste kiss she had shared with Nibutani on Sanae's lips, their mouths meeting liquidly.

Sanae's eyelids dropped, Rikka's immensely tender look and gesture driving home the point, and she shivered as Rikka slowly pulled away after a few moments, their eyes connected.

Sanae's eyes searched Rikka's face, her expression wondering, her face instantly pink. "H-hah," she breathed indignantly, "W-What was that..."

"That's you realising how awesome Rikka really is," Yuuta joked. He had liked watching. "I'm glad to see we're all close like this. It's starting to feel less weird and more - well, I don't quite know how to describe it yet, but it feels good, even if I don't have the words."

Rikka nodded. "Yeah. I feel really close to all three of you." She looked at Sanae, the blonde girl touching her lips. "If we touch under the covers, that would be even closer… You can kiss Yuuta some more whilst we do it, Deko."

Dekomori nodded, her face lighting up in satisfaction. "I'm deathly convinced, then. Say no more, Master."

Yuuta hurried to interject. "I don't get a choice in this?"

"Nope," Sanae grinned, tugging on his hand in a vain effort to pull him up in bed.

"I guess if I must," Yuuta complained, theatrically. "It doesn't sound entirely awful." He sighed, taking Sanae's hand and pulling himself up. "We haven't done too well at undressing romantically today, have we? Let's try and change that."

Sanae pounced on him, throwing herself hastily into his lap, pulling his arms around her. "Alright, Yuuta. You may undress me when you are ready."

He rolled his eyes. "I'd be pleased to," he said, placing his hands on top of her shoulders, beginning to rub her neck slowly.

Rikka eyes were warm as she watched them touch. "You two undress whilst I deal with Shinka," she suggested, turning to the girl lying on the bed, who had been watching all of this, quite pleased. Shinka happily pulled Rikka back into their cuddle, and their hands were back on each other quickly.

Sanae hummed, pleased with Yuuta's course of action, allowing him to continue for a few moments, before she leant back against his chest. "This feels good," she quietly admitted. "Not that my master would ever come up with bad ideas…"

Rikka had eased Shinka's top off after her own, and was now pressing herself fervently against the other girl's newly-bare skin. The two of them resumed their gentle kiss as they lay touching, hands stealing each others' breath. Yuuta and Sanae watched them, Yuuta's hands running up and down Sanae's side, her pale skin soft and warm, one hand slowly unbuttoning the front of her silk pyjamas.

In short order the rest of their clothes came off for the second time today, this time with more care and co-ordination than their unceremonious stripping earlier in the day. Their eyes ran over each other as they undressed.

Yuuta slipped under the duvet cover, Sanae following him and lying on his chest, their hands moving over each other slowly, following Rikka's lead as the other two lay next to them.

Sanae kissed Yuuta's neck from her position on top of him, her small figure not heavy. His hands ran comfortingly over her back, amplified by the duvet pressing into her, rubbing pleasurably against her naked skin. Sanae felt like she was in a trance, warmth radiating into her from the rest of them, the four of them so close Shinka and Yuuta's shoulders were touching.

"Ah," she sighed, "this was a really good idea, Master…"

Rikka reached up and ran a hand over Sanae's back too, the blonde girl shivering as she felt another contact. "Yeah. This feels nice." She smiled contently at Shinka, who was under her, Shinka's fingertips running down Rikka's thigh.

Yuuta had acquiesced to Sanae's clumsy attempts at kissing him directly, her pouting too aggressive to resist, and their lips met wetly as the other pair watched, Sanae's frown relaxing as they kissed slowly, her body relaxing into his.

"Sanae adores kissing," Shinka said to Rikka, quietly. "Usually we kiss pretty much whenever we're alone. It's so weird, watching my girlfriend kiss someone else and being fine with it."

"This whole thing is weird," Rikka frowned, "but I feel so close with all of you, it seems like it doesn't matter. The only bad thing about being together is that it's impossible for us all to kiss at once."

Sanae intensified her kiss with Yuuta, probing his wet lips with an eager tongue, finding her way into his mouth, and he moaned as he felt the girl pushing into him, her tongue rubbing wetly around his.

"Showoff. We're going to end up having sex again at this rate," Shinka whined. "I liked being clean and in bed."

Rikka giggled. "I thought you would be used to Deko's needs by now. You must have foreseen this."

"Oh, she doesn't need this right now - she just wants it." Shinka cleared her throat. "Sanae loves kissing and she loves sex. You'll know when she needs it; you won't get any of the forewarning."

Rikka nodded, remembering how quickly Dekomori had moved on her in the clubroom. "Yeah… I'm familiar."

Shinka smiled. "Do you mind if we watch them for a while? I want to see their reactions whilst they do it."

"I like that idea," Rikka nodded. "They can do the same for us, right…"

Shinka rubbed Rikka's hips, her fingers squeezing her. "Mmm, yes, I like that." She directed her voice at the kissing pair. "Rikka and I are going to watch you together. Is that okay?"

Sanae pulled up from Yuuta's face, grinning. "You already were," she smirked. "It's fine by me."

Yuuta sighed, Sanae's weight shifting on him. "I thought this was about bonding," he said.

Sanae tilted her head, tossing her hair back.. "Sex is a form of bonding, Yuuta. It directly connects the participants in a link of love that not even foes in the Ethereal Planes can break."

Yuuta scowled, looking over at Shinka for help. "Please don't tell me that you wrote lines about sex in the Mabinogion."

Nibutani mouthed helplessly.

"It's fine," Rikka said, reaching out and touching Yuuta's hand. He smiled at her small gesture. "Watching you two together is intimate. Your connection is cool and powerful." She smiled wryly, the affection clear in her expression. "I'm glad my servant feels the same way about you, Yuuta. So we want to watch."

"These terms seem acceptable, Master," Sanae agreed, grinning, and hastily resumed what she had been doing. Yuuta was caught off guard; Sanae pushed him down into the bed under her, her bare chest and stomach rubbing against his deliciously.

Yuuta groaned as her calves pressed into his hips, the girl levering herself forward to kiss him, her hands on his shoulders, his hands around her back. He felt himself getting hard.

"Ah, Sanae," he breathed, her eager mouth and tongue giving him little pause to talk. "You're so eager. I can summon up the energy for one more, I think. But it might take me a while to, uhm, come inside you."

Sanae smiled at him fiercely, her teeth bared, almost a challenge in her expression. "That's fine, Yuuta," she said, her eyes amused, flicking between his face and where he was touching her, hard against her wetness. "We've got all day…"

The others in the bed were watching them as promised. Rikka held Shinka's hand against her stomach, the bigger girl's fingertips working in small delicate circles on her skin. Rikka's lips were open in delight, the chuuni's breaths short as Shinka's touch picked up on the growing arousal coming from watching their other lovers together.

Watching Sanae and Yuuta together was hot; the cute way the boy's face was red, the enticing way the girl sucked on his lower lip, the febrile way they explored each other with their hands. Shinka was enjoying herself, watching all of their movements and interactions, Rikka's yielding skin under her hands pliable and satisfying.

"Ah, this is hot," Shinka moaned into Rikka's ear, her fingertips digging firmer into Rikka's skin, her touch on the girl's soft skin more urgent.

"Yeah," Rikka breathed, very conscious Shinka's hands were slipping lower now, past the point of her navel, caressing the skin above her pubic bone.

"Shinka, t-that's not fair," she moaned, "you know what that is doing to me, right..." Rikka was squirming now, her legs and hips restless.

"Maybe." Shinka's tone was enigmatic, playfully refusing to be drawn. "If you want me to touch you... I want you to pull my hands in."

The blue-haired girl quickly grabbed Shinka's teasing hand and pushed it down between her legs, Shinka feeling her fingers meet the wet juncture of Rikka's thighs. Rikka let out a soft, low moan at the contact, Shinka responding to the enthusiasm with gentle movements around her clit.

Rikka tensed as her thighs clamped hard around Shinka's hand, Rikka using her hand to press Shinka into her, Shinka's other hand still caressing her stomach. The sensations were overwhelming, the physical need to have Shinka at her most intimate sudden and unexpected.

"Whoa," Shinka said in surprise, "are you ok there, Rikka?"

"No," Rikka whined, furiously pushing Shinka's hand into her core, her pubic mound rubbing hard against the long fingers there. "I need you," Rikka moaned, "all that buildup; it's suddenly too much."

Shinka began rubbing Rikka's clit more firmly and quickly, her fingers slipping easily against the girl in her desperate state, her fingertips eliciting constant gasps of pleasure from that pleasure's recipient. Rikka's noises of approval began to turn loud and indecent, carried on each of her exhalations.

Next to them, Sanae broke her kiss with Yuuta, her face flushed, a wry smile on her face. She wiggled her hips over him, feeling his erection press into her thigh.

"Are you ready, Yuuta," the blonde girl asked.

"Yeah," Yuuta breathed, "are you?"

Sanae's hand stole down to where they were met, her hand finding his erection, lining it up with her opening. Yuuta sighed as he felt himself rub wetly along Sanae. She grinned, seeing his reaction. "Of course. It's about to get better."

She lowered herself onto him, her lips parting as he was pushed into her, knees lowering herself onto him. Sanae bit her lip as Yuuta slid inside her, and moaned gently once he was fully inside her; she could feel him pressing hot against her insides. Yuuta pulled her back down into a kiss, as he started moving inside her.

Rikka watched them make contact and pushed Shinka's fingers into her further as she came at the sight, Shinka pushing forwards and urgently kissing Rikka when she realised the girl was coming. Rikka's hips shook violently around her wet fingers as she did just that, a muffled moan of pleasure coming as their lips met, the dual-sensation heightening Rikka's climax as Shinka pushed her tongue into the other girl's mouth.

The pleasure rushed through Rikka, her head light, the arousal overwhelming, the intense rushing of her orgasm making her feel good. After a few more seconds, it was over, and Shinka broke their kiss gently, kissing Rikka's forehead instead. "Ah," Rikka panted, after the orgasm had washed through her and the post-climax glow began to set in. Shinka's hand was still between her thighs in a death-grip that Rikka quickly released, looking apologetic. "Ah, sorry, Shinka, that was just, you made me come so hard..."

Shinka shook her head, a pleased smile on her face. "Don't apologise, Rikka. I'm glad you came." She pushed her head forward, kissing Rikka behind the ear. "I'm glad you came for me."

Rikka was breathing heavily, trying to regain any composure, the rushing blood in her head and chest not letting her rest or think, the afterglow of orgasm still between her legs. "Ah," she breathed, almost mindlessly, "that was so good…"

The brown-haired girl behind her pushed her hair back with a free hand, blowing the errant strands out of her face. "Good." Her eyes moved from Rikka back to where Sanae and Yuuta were making love together. Their kiss was unceasing, Sanae's small breasts and tight stomach rubbing against Yuuta's bare chest as he moved inside her. The duvet on their side was pooled around their feet. Shinka let out a small hum; the sight was extremely enticing.

In her arms, Rikka was fidgeting, drawing her attention away. "Thanks, Shinka," the girl in her arms murmured, not looking back, her breath still short. "I wanted us all to touch, but your hands just made me really wound up. Thanks for recognising I needed something a bit more..."

In response, Shinka kissed the back of her neck. "It's fine. I'll never get tired of touching you, Rikka."

Rikka sighed, the blood rushing from her arousal into the rest of her body, alleviating her light head. I'll never get tired of touching you, Rikka. "Ah," Rikka moaned, the words leaving her a little surprised, repeating in her head.

"Eh?" Shinka started, concerned. "Are you ok, Rikka?"

Rikka slowly turned around, not meeting Shinka's puzzled look, a small, embarrassed smile on her face. She took a deep breath and looked at Shinka.

"I love you," Rikka mumbled, her face turning pink.

Shinka's mouth fell slightly open, though she didn't flinch or gasp. You knew this, Shinka. Shinka kissed Rikka gently on the lips, chastely again, her lips curling into a smile as she pulled away. "I love you too."

Rikka's hand went to her chest, curled over her heart. "I'm glad," she smiled back. "If it's not too soon to say that kind of thing…"

Shinka winked. "Probably. But that doesn't make it untrue."

Next to them, Yuuta and Sanae were lost in each other, Sanae's position on top driving the tempo. Her hips rolled as she enjoyed the feeling of him moving in and out of her, Yuuta's hand gently touching her core as she moved up and down on him, each brush against his fingers sending a pleasurable jolt into her.

Dekomori's expression was lustful, her hungry eyes tempered with a wicked amusement. "Are you going to come yet?" Sanae teased, her voice lilting. "You're making me feel so good, Yuuta. It's a deathly insult not to give cute girls what they want. And right now, I want you to come inside me."

Yuuta moaned; his pleasure had been building steadily despite how sore he was down there. "I think I'm getting close," he moaned, his face flushed. "I'll tell you when…"

Sanae mock-frowned, the effect offset by a wry smile, before any pretense at coyness was ruined entirely as Yuuta touched her clit. "Ahhhh," Sanae moaned, her arm next to Yuuta's head beginning to shake. "Much more of that, and I'm going to come first," she complained, breath short.

Shinka smiled at Rikka, an idea on her mind. "Let's help these two out."

Rikka nodded determinedly, rolling over and shuffling naked to where Yuuta was lying, her hands in the bedsheet as she stared into his face, a shy smile on her lips. Her eyes locked on Yuuta's, her look travelling direct to the centre of his need.

"You're close, Yuuta," Rikka said, seductively wetting her lips with her tongue for emphasis. "Show us how good she makes you feel. Show me, okay?"

Shinka followed up with her own exhortation. "Come on Sanae," she said, climbing behind Sanae. "I know you're just trying to hold out to show off. I want to watch you come, though."

A few seconds more of encouragement, Shinka squeezing her small breasts, and that was it; both parties in congress peaked. Sanae tossed her head back against Shinka as her nipples were rubbed in tandem with her clit, Shinka's mouth on her neck, teeth gently biting down on Sanae's clavicle. The combination of sensations was more than enough to pull the orgasm out in her. Sanae's hips shook and her wetness tightened firmly around Yuuta, causing him to let go inside her too, the strength of his orgasm forcing his semen inside her. Sanae moaned as she felt him come, his fluid shooting warmly against her tightening insides. Rikka smiled appreciably as she watched her lover's eyes flicker and his face screw up; the expression when he came was always cute, if not as cute as hearing his moan as he came inside the other girl. Rikka reached out a hand to his chest and gently rubbed him there, his eyes slowly easing open as he panted desperately, a hand going up to meet Rikka's in thanks.

Sanae's thighs and hips hurt, an ache in them from being on top for so long, and the sticky wet heat Yuuta had left inside her almost felt like it burned. Sanae let out a low moan as she thought about the sensation and idea of it, Yuuta still inside her.

"Ah," Sanae moaned, "Aaah, Yuuta, I'm so full…"

Yuuta blew out his cheeks, unable to react, trying to recover his breath. "Hah, yeah, Sanae, that was, that was great."

Shinka gently guided the blonde girl off him, the younger girl not complaining as she was laid out on the bed, her legs slowly stretched and straightened by the other girl. Shinka kissed Sanae on the forehead, the girl mildly sweaty under her lips. "I'd clean you up but you look totally done," she smiled.

Sanae closed her eyes. "Just a bit. Ah, I can feel him inside me, still… it's so hot…"

Shinka rubbed Sanae gently on the lower belly, her fingers soft above where Yuuta had probably come inside her. "It's weirdly sexy, right?"

"Yeah," Sanae whined, between breaths. "I get why you two like it, now…"

Shinka leaned over and planted some gentle kisses on the panting girl's lower stomach, her flesh warm under her lips, her heaving chest making her whole torso move. The gentle rise and fall of Sanae's taut stomach under her lips made Shinka smile fondly. "You can have him do that as much as you want," Shinka said, pulling herself back upright, rubbing the area again with her hand. "You just have to take the contraceptives every day. But that goes for all of us."

Yuuta ached; he had come again despite himself, and the post-coital ache in him was fierce, his erection subsiding slowly and somewhat painfully. "Ah, as amazing as all of you are, I'm done for the day," he reluctantly declared. "Possibly the whole weekend, even. I hurt."

Sanae groaned from her spreadeagled position further down the bed. "Me too," she sighed, Shinka moving her hands down, rubbing the girl's thighs to release some of the strain. "Ah, thanks though, Yuuta. It was really good."

"Same, honestly," Yuuta chuckled. His face was sweaty. He wiped his forehead with a spare hand. "Ugh, what a mess. How are we gonna do this full-time?"

Rikka had snuggled closer into him, kissing his shoulder. "We'll think of some ways," she said, between fond kisses.

Yuuta stuck his lips towards her for a real kiss, their lips meeting gently. "I heard you speaking with Shinka, over there, you know," he teased. "I'm… it made me happy to hear."

Rikka's hand crept up to her lips, before she smiled shyly through her fingertips. "Me too."

Shinka sighed, her eyes closing. "I like… well, maybe I love you all. But we need to do something more productive than lie in bed if we're not going to have sex all day."

Sanae blew air out of her mouth from her prone position, her cheeks puffing. "I hate to say it, my love, but that sounds like a good idea. At least until we've had a little time to recover."

"Why don't we go for a walk?" Rikka suggested. "It would be nice to get some air. I mean, being in bed with all of you is good too, but…"

Yuuta grimaced. "I think my legs will just about manage." He pushed himself up against the backboard, back resting on some pillows, people in his field of view now instead of the ceiling. "Could we go over to my place? I could do with some fresh clothes, underwear, and pyjamas that are mine; that is, if we're planning to stay here again tonight?"

Sanae rolled over on the bed at Shinka's urging, so that she could rub the other side of her thighs. "Cast aside your fears, Dark Flame Master," Dekomori said, "The Infernal Palace of Night remains open to you all, though…"

Yuuta raised an eyebrow. "... though?"

"... though we should make sure we get to school on Monday," she finished, slightly less bravado.

Shinka shook her head. "I'll make sure of that. We're already lined up for a dressing-down on Monday. Frankly, I'd like to avoid making it worse." She turned to Yuuta. "If we're going out for the afternoon, do you even have anything to wear out?"

Yuuta grimaced. "Sweaty school clothes, probably. Though, Rikka's in the same situation., At least it's not too far back to my place, and we can get changed there. If we make a move in the next hour or so we can probably even pass off as people who went to school today instead of spending it in bed."

"We should probably get some real food and cook together, if we're going to stay here again tonight and tomorrow. Instant meals aren't good two days in a row. We could pick up some stuff whilst at yours."

"Sure," Yuuta said. "I'm pretty hungry already, I guess. I wouldn't mind eating some food there. I was kind of half-hoping Sanae would be rich enough for a breakfast-in-bed service…"

A snort came up from Sanae, who had pulled herself under the duvet next to him now, departing Shinka's rub-down with a kiss to the cheek. "Whilst your appraisal of the Mjolnir dynasty's material wealth is reasonable, you will be disappointed. Our stronghold has many facilities, Yuuta, but Shinka and I usually have to feed ourselves."

Shinka sighed. "She means, I have to cook for the both of us."

"You are good at it, though," Sanae piped, her voice muffled under the duvet.

Yuuta shook his head. "I assume you and I will be doing the cooking then, Shinka. By her own admission Dekomori doesn't have the first clue and Rikka isn't too hot either."

"Alright, it's a plan." Shinka looked at the clock. "I think we still have an hour or so before we can make a move though. Shall we... do some more cuddling?"
