After soaking for a while, Naruse climbed out of the tub and picked up a towel to dry his body.

Before changing into the guest yukata that Morimi had brought, he picked it up and sniffed it.

It seems that no one has worn it for a long time, and there is a faint smell of mothballs.

With a shake of his hand and a change into a yukata, Naruse glanced at the clothes that the starfish had changed in the dirty clothes basket, and immediately looked away.

Back in the living room, he saw several futons spread on the floor.

“…… What does that mean? ”

"Hikari said he wanted to fall asleep watching the campfire." Morimi said, "That's why I spread the futon to the living room." ”

"But I don't have the intention of doing so."

"Naoko agreed."

“……”

He looked at Naoko, and she nodded, slightly helpless.

"It's rare to stay overnight, let's sleep together."

Eighty percent was Hikaru Takikawa who persuaded her.

Naruse didn't say anything, and while wiping his hair, he sat down on the futon on the furthest side, "Naoko go wash it." ”

"Hmm."

She stood up, glanced at the people in the living room again, and went to the bathroom anyway.

"Look at your girlfriend, like we're going to eat you as soon as she's gone." Morimi said suddenly.

Naruse ignored her, picked up his phone and looked at the time, and found that it was past zero o'clock.

"It's already early in the morning, aren't you going to sleep yet?"

"Aren't you waiting for Naoko?" Hikaru Takikawa said.

"I don't believe you'll fall asleep when you lie down."

"Almost." She smiled and yawned again, "I'm actually quite sleepy. ”

"Then why don't you sleep, lie down."

Hikaru Takikawa also got into her bed, and before lying down, she looked at Morimi again, "Kazuha should come over too." ”

"I'll sit down a little longer...... What are you doing...... Wait a minute...... Hey......"

Under the silent gaze of Naruse and Starfish, Morimi was dragged to the leftmost futon by Hikaru Takikawa.

"Ichiha will sleep here. I'll sleep next to you, and I'll watch over you all night. ”

“……”

Being pressed on the futon, Morimi stared at her with both eyes, and couldn't move no matter how hard her body struggled.

After staring at each other for a long time, she sighed and finally gave up.

The gap between the two in terms of physical fitness and strength is even greater than the gap in the final exam rankings, only this time, it is not she who has the upper hand.

"Let it go...... I'm ready to sleep. ”

"Really?"

"Even if it's fake, can I escape from being stared at by a strange woman like you?"

"Hey, hey."

Hikaru Takikawa got down from her, watched her helplessly get into the bed, and lay down as well.

Pulling the quilt on his body, Morimi turned his head to look at Naruse on the other side, and he looked away.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing. It's just that I suddenly found that your relationship seems to be better than I know. ”

"yes." Hikaru Takikawa moved to her, "I'll be staring at Ichipa all night." ”

“……”

Mori rolled his eyes, didn't say a word, took off his glasses, and lay down with his back to them.

"You're not sleeping yet?" Naruse looked at the starfish again.

"I fell asleep......"

She lifted the futon next to him, but she couldn't lift it halfway, and when she looked down, she saw that he had stepped on it.

"Starfish sleep in the middle." He pointed to the futon next to Hikaru Takigawa with his gaze, "Let Hikaru also guard you by the way." ”

Hikaru Takikawa also looked back, "Come on, starfish." ”

“……”

Starfish pursed her lips and crawled over anyway.

The three of them all lay down, and Naruse looked at the bonfire in the courtyard outside, and the firewood he had added earlier was almost burning.

"Chunhai remember to add firewood to the campfire." Hikaru Takikawa said.

"Tim?"

"Otherwise, what are we sleeping here for?"

Naruse shook his head, got up and went out, throwing a few more sticks of coarse wood into the fire.

It is surrounded by walls on all sides, and there is no wind in the yard, so even if no one is watching at night, there is basically no need to worry about the fire being blown away.

Turning the charcoal fire, squatting by the bonfire for a while, Naruse turned his head, and the three people who had been lying down before all sat up again, looking at this side.

“……”

He suddenly felt like a kindergarten teacher, and if he was a little lax, the children would not take a nap.

Why stay overnight?

His mind suddenly returned to the original question.

Before I thought of the answer, Naoko had already come out of the shower.

Glancing at the three people who were already sitting in the futon, she came straight out and stood next to him wiping her hair.

"So warm ......"

"Hmm."

"Isn't Chunhai sleepy yet?"

"I'm waiting for my girlfriend."

She smiled slightly out of the corner of her eye, and moved to his side, rubbing her calf against his body.

Staring at the dancing flames, Naruse turned her head to look at her pajamas again.

"Isn't this pajama a little bigger?"

She glared at him, "It's just a little long." ”

He smiled, reached out and took her ankle, stroking it gently.

The girls wore Morimi's pajamas.

"Does Harumi's yukata fit?"

"That's it, at least there's no discomfort."

"That's good...... Wipe my hair. ”

Naruse got up, took the towel, and pressed it on her head to wipe it.

"Hmm......"

Naoko closed her eyes, enjoying her boyfriend's services while feeling the warmth of the cool night.

It's red-eyed.

"We can also build a bonfire in our yard."

"Yes, yes...... The key problem is that there is no firewood. ”

"That's right."

"Why did you talk about this all of a sudden?"

"Just thought of ......"

"Hmm."

He wiped for a moment, and her hands were held down, "Almost." ”

Naoko looked back at the living room, and the three people who were sitting just now were now lying down.

Before she could look, Naruse turned her gaze to the fire on the ground.

He now knows the answer.

"Just let the campfire keep burning?" Naoko asked.

"Well, so be it, it shouldn't be burning for long. Go to sleep. ”

"Okay."

The two also returned to the living room, Naoko lay down first, and Naruse went to turn off the light.

The living room suddenly went dark.

The dancing light came from the courtyard, not very bright, but it made people unable to take their eyes off.

"It's long overdue to turn off the lights......"

Hikaru Takikawa sat up again at some point, staring blankly at the campfire over there.

"And firewood, throw it all in."

Naruse slipped into the futon, "Are you staring?" ”

"Hmm." Hikaru Takikawa took the pillow to the other end of the futon, "I'll keep an eye on it until it goes out." ”

"Then you can add your own firewood, I'm sleepy."

"Okay."

Hikaru Takikawa got up and went over and threw the little firewood he had left into the fire.

Coming back and lying down, she lay on the pillow at the end of the bed and continued to stare at that side.

With fuel, the flame gradually rose and more than doubled.

The firewood soon burned out, and the flames gradually fell, and at last only a pile of reddish charcoal remained.

The fire was gone, and the night was deeper and quieter.

Morimi opened his eyes.

As soon as he moved, his ankle was suddenly grasped.

“…… I just rolled over. ”

The leader of the book friend [Salary Star] added more.

Bad news, take a leave of absence tomorrow.
