“To tell the truth, Kohaku is also coming to sleep with me.”

Akari makes an uneasy face. 

“… Are you going to sleep with Shirasawa-sensei?”

“No, I’ll sleep with both of you together. I can’t?”

“Honestly, it would be nice to be alone with Touma-kun… But I can’t bother you. Besides, I’m happy just to be able to sleep with you, Touma-kun.”

When Akari got convinced, Kohaku came out from the next room. 

When I see Akari’s face, an uneasy cloud also occurs on mine. 

“… Touma-kun, are you going to sleep with Akamine-sensei?”

I shook my head.

“I talked earlier with Akari about this. I’m thinking of sleeping altogether, is that all right?”

“… Yeah. If Touma-kun wants to do that, that’s fine.”

Kohaku nodded. 

I guess she doesn’t want to be a bother to me. 

I enter the house with my ex-girlfriends and head to the bedroom as fast as possible. 

Let’s go to bed quickly before they start another round of argument.

“Well. Do you want to go to bed already?”

“Please wait before turning off the lights. I need to take off my clothes first.”

“Why do you need to take it off!”

“I’m always sleeping in my underwear. It’s hard to sleep if I keep my jersey on.”

“When I was dating, you slept in your jersey normally…”

“My sleep style has changed in the past year. …can’t I?”

“There’s nothing wrong with that, but …”

It is kind of uneasy for me to see her sleep in her underwear, but we will be hidden by the blanket after all. 

“It’s okay. You can take it off.”

After giving permission, Akari took off her jersey. 

She wore a s**y underwear. 

The bra cup is torn vertically, and cherry-colored protrusions are peeking through those cracks. As it is, Kohaku and I are stunned, and when she was about to put her hand to take off her pants―

“Stop! Akamine-san! Stop right there!”

Kohaku wailed. 

“Why are you wearing such an ecchi underwear!? It is not an underwear becoming of a teacher!”

Akari raises her eyebrows. 

“Please do not say bad about the underwear that Touma-kun gifted me.”

“Heh!? Touma-kun did … .”

It was a fact. 

When I was dating, I found s**y underwear in online mail order, and I bought it thinking it would suit Akari. 

I never thought, even in my wildest dreams, that I would be reunited with this in such a situation … Before Kohaku, it was indeed awkward. 

“Touma-kun, did you present the naughty underwear to Akamine-san?”

“… Did that freak you out?”

“No~. I’m not freaked out. I already knew that Touma-kun was a pervert. But, you never gave me such a thing…”

“I presented Kohaku with an apron, right~.” 

“That’s true, but …”

If you think in common sense, an apron should make her happier than s**y underwear. Yet Kohaku had a sorrowful face. Even though there is nothing that bad to be sad about… 

“Can I take it off already?”

Akari goes on to take off her pants. If the top was like this, the bottom would be something outrageous as well. If she were to continuously show me that, I wouldn’t even be able to get a wink because of staying excited. 

“Don’t take it off. Get dressed properly. Otherwise, there will be no more co-sleeping.”

“I, I understand…”

Akari looked sorry, but she wore her jersey correctly. Turning off the lights in the room and we dive into the bed. 

Then they clung to my arms, pressed my chest immediately, and talked to me as if begging. 

“Touma-kun, turn this way.”

“Please, Touma-kun. Look at me and sleep.”

If you choose one, you will make the other sad. in the end, I will have to choose one. …

“I sleep on my back.”

And for today, I decided on neither. 

Then they started arguing. 

“In fact, I was supposed to be sleeping with Touma-kun alone … Why didn’t you wait until Saturday?”

“That’s my line. You promised not to take any head start, then why do you break it?”

“Akamine-san was about to take a head start, so I took one first. Akamine-sensei is wearing such underwear… weren’t you going to do it with Touma-kun?”

“Should I?”

“Don’t! Touma-kun is going to be with me! I will make him feel better than you!”

“No, Touma-kun is determined to like me more than anyone. Isn’t that right, Touma-kun?”

“You’re not, are you? You want to be with me more than Akamine-sensei, right?”

“…  Guhu~…  Guhu~…”

Since it was remarkably hard to answer, I went into sleep like a Tanuki.

[TL note: I guess raccoon sleeps fast?] 

“… Did you already sleep? You’re actually awake, aren’t you?”

“It’s probably the latter. …But it’s terrible to wake him up if he really fell asleep.”

“That’s right. Let’s say call it a night too.”

They stop arguing, hold me tightly in my arms, and begin to sleep. 

Fuu~. Finally, I can calm down. I’m happy to be able to sleep with them, but I might get insomnia every day if this condition continues. 

But then, they’ll both want to come to my house every day to stop the other from taking a head-start… I guess I’ll just cancel the co-sleeping as an every Saturday night event and make it a once-in-a-month event. 

Let alone sleeping together, we shouldn’t have even met each other in the first place… well, as long as they are at home, our relationship should not come to light. 

Or so I used to think at that time, however―

Two days later.

“Touma-kun, can we talk now?”

Before the morning homeroom would start.

While I was fiddling with my smartphone alone in the classroom, Shirasawa-san called out to me.

“Ah, yeah.”
