To be honest, the thing Yuki Gyakukai loved most in this life was watching women fight.
Not for any particular reason—just because it was very interesting.
But right now, Yuki Gyakukai was puzzled, utterly baffled, as he looked over at Tomie.
"You're just letting her off like that?"
Tomie Hanyu shot him a fierce glare, then aimed her water gun at his forehead and squirted him again.
"What else do you want? For us to start brawling? It's late—don't you need to go back to sleep?"
Sensing that Tomie was in a bad mood, Yuki shrugged helplessly.
The Tomie he'd managed to soothe just this afternoon had now turned back into the East Asian Vinegar King.
"Alright, let's head back for today. We'll deal with the rest later."
He hooked his finger back, took the fishing gear in his left hand, and casually grabbed the water gun from Tomie's hand.
Then he walked in front of her and crouched down:
"Come on, hop on my back. That stretch you just ran was a long one—you must be tired now."
"Hmph~, if you knew I'd have to run that far, why didn't you just pull me up back then?"
Tomie's tone was full of displeasure, but her body obediently leaned onto his broad back.
Her legs clamped tightly around Yusoku Gyakukai's waist, and her arms wrapped snugly around his neck.
"Cough... loosen up a bit. Do you want your fiancé to die on the way back?"
"Tch, dying would be best. A dead fiancé is the best fiancé."
Despite her words, Tomie's arms loosened on their own.
And so, Yuki Gyakukai's left hand was fully loaded, his back carried his not-so-heavy fiancée, and his right hand had to hold her steady to keep her from slipping off.
It looked like a lot of weight, but it was surprisingly easy.
With the thought that today had been another good day, Yuki Gyakukai slowly walked along the path back to the dormitory.
Maybe because it had gotten dark, the school, which had been a bit stuffy earlier, now had a gentle breeze blowing every now and then.
Normally, this breeze would feel refreshing to others.
Tomie, lying on Yuki Gyakukai's back, felt the damp shirt beneath her and the wind around them, and a pang of guilt struck her for no reason.
After all, it was because of her playful antics that her fiancé's clothes were soaked through.
Her earlier discontent was mostly washed away by this wave of guilt.
But since there were no spare clothes, Tomie didn't know how to get Yuki into something dry.
So she simply buried her face in the crook of his neck and breathed small, warm puffs, trying to keep him from getting too cold.
"Tomie, what are you doing?"
Noticing his fiancée's little move and feeling the warm breath against his neck, he couldn't help but find her a bit adorable.
"There's wind... I'm afraid you'll get cold..."
Yuki Gyakukai was momentarily stunned. He'd thought it was just another of his fiancée's little pranks.
Sure enough, Tomie was the cutest thing ever!
But still...
"Tomie, are you cold? Sorry, I shouldn't have walked so slowly. I'll speed up now—we'll be back at the dorm soon."
Yuki Gyakukai knew best whether he himself was cold.
But people have brains—when Tomie said it like that, he already guessed the reason.
When you think I'm cold, I know you're cold.
The two returned to the dorm—specifically, Tomie's dorm.
After a quick hot shower together, they fell asleep in each other's arms...
Or so it seemed?
Late at night, after overcoming Tomie with his formidable stamina, Yuki Gyakukai finally had a free moment and pushed Kikyou Kushida's contact info to Suzune Horikita.
Read.
Suzune Horikita: ?
Yuki Gyakukai: ? Wait, aren't you asleep at this hour?
Suzune Horikita: Aren't you awake too? But I'm about to sleep—just let me finish this save file.
Yuki Gyakukai: Suzune, you've changed. You weren't like this before.
Suzune Horikita: [Rolling eyes] None of your business.
Gyakukai Yuki: Alright, go ahead and play your game, just remember to add Kikyo Kushida's contact info.
After sending that last message, Gyakukai Yuki tossed his phone aside.
He turned back to hug his cute and exhausted fiancée, drifting off to sleep.
What he didn't know was that, thanks to his influence tonight, many girls on the floor wouldn't be able to sleep.
Kikyo Kushida, hiding under her covers, stared blankly at the friend request on her phone.
She gazed dazedly at Suzune Horikita's friend request, never imagining that
the persistent month-long friend request would be fulfilled in such a surreal way today.
But thinking about everything that happened tonight, her hands under the covers couldn't help grabbing at her short hair, messing it up completely.
She felt she had really done something stupid.
Why did she have to go vent outside?
Wouldn't staying in the dorm have been fine?
What now?
Two more people knew her true face, plus a potential third in Suzune Horikita.
"Ah! So annoying, it's all those idiots in class—otherwise I wouldn't have needed to find a place to vent so soon!"
On the same floor, Suzune Horikita, seeing that her friend request hadn't been accepted yet, casually turned off her phone screen and tossed it aside.
After all, whether or not she added Kikyo Kushida as a friend didn't matter to her.
She turned back to her computer screen, clicking the mouse rapidly.
Ever since she'd gotten a taste of it in Gyakukai Yuki's room last time, she'd copied his entire network drive.
She was open to anything, no matter how bizarre—she'd try it all.
Except for one game, which she didn't want to touch at all.
That was the one tucked away in a corner, labeled as bizarre—Reborn Lolita Island.
At the same time, Asako Amakura was still tossing and turning in her bed.
Who knows what was going through her mind, but her flushed face looked almost like a boiled shrimp.
Curled up, hands covering her face, she writhed like a worm on the bed, occasionally glancing at the door.
"Strange, I definitely slipped the keycard into Yuki's mailbox, but he didn't even send a message."
"Am I really that unattractive?"
"No... Asako, what are you doing? As a die-hard fan of Tomie-sama, why would you do this?"
"Help... I can't hold back anymore... Mm~... As expected, Yuki-kun is a succubus..."
Even though it was already her post-clarity moment, she couldn't stop her mind from wandering.
In Ichinose's room not far away, She couldn't sleep tonight either, sitting quietly on her bed, staring blankly at the spare keycard in her hand.
"Should I give it? Yuki-kun's request... troubling..."
"...If I do, with Tomie-san there, it shouldn't lead to anything lewd, right..."
Not entirely sure, Ichinose's tone was a bit hesitant.
Her mind couldn't help recalling the scene she'd witnessed last time.
"Yuki-kun... seems to have an improper relationship with Morishita-san from Class B..."
