1-14 Saki’s Sudden Stay Over

TLed by: TanoshiKara

It had been decided, for some reason, that Saki would stay over.

Well, it is not like there are any problems. I am already living with four girls. Nothing much would change with one more. Also, come to think of it, Saki and I did, in some sense, spend the night under the same roof every day when we were in the other world, so I don't mind at all.

However—

After they were done saying their farewells to Saki's mother, Saori sent Kikyou and the rest back to their home.

When they arrived, the girls thanked Saori and entered the house one after another. 

Amidst this, Saki was fidgeting nervously in front of the house. By the way, she had changed out of her dress and is now wearing extremely casual clothing.

While looking at Saki, Kikyou, the last to get off the car, thanked Saori, just like the other girls. After that, he was about to enter the house when—Saori called out to him all of a sudden.

"Ah, that's right, Kikyou-sama"

"......Eh? Ah, yes, what is it?"

Kikyou walked up to Saori as she beckoned him over with her hand.

To call out to me at a time like this...Is it something important......?, or so Kikyou thought.

In front of him, Saori stuffed her hand into her pocket and took something out of it.

"Please have this," Saori then said as she held it out to Kikyou.

"What is this?"

When Kikyou held out the palm of his hand, Saori opened her clenched hand on top of it. Something thin, that was packaged in plastic, fell on top of his hand when she did that.

Kikyou stared at it......and his eyes popped open from shock.

This is a c-con—

"—Hey, aren't you forgetting your responsibilities as an employee!?"

Before he could retort, Saori gave him a quick thumbs up and sped off.

While staring blankly at all of this—

......The quiet beauty vibes I felt at the start are almost gone at this point, or so Kikyou thought as he put the 'object' into his item box because he could not bring himself to throw it away.

"Saori is the same as always, huh," Saori muttered, utterly flabbergasted by Saori, who left like a storm.

Kikyou smiled bitterly and nodded when he heard that.

"I feel like, within the span of a day, I have come to understand what Saki meant by 'they are a little weird'"

"For her to bring that out on the first day is quite the accomplishment. ......She must have opened up to you quite a bit"

"I didn't do anything to get her to like me though......" Kikyou said before he laughed.

" "......" "

They fell silent all of a sudden.

"......Say, Kikyou. Are you not going to enter?" Saki asked, her face slightly red, perhaps due to the nervousness she felt once again from being alone with Kikyou after Saori left.

"......Yes, I am going to, I am going to," Kikyou said, but he did not move an inch.

" "............" "

Saki's and Kikyou's hearts were racing.

......Weird. Even though we lived in the same house with Lati and the others in the other world... ......When I eventually have a female classmate......the unattainable flower of my class at that...for a stayover in Japan...I get oddly nervous for some reason. What's more, to think that it is for a stayover......

—Staying over at a house of a classmate who is of the opposite gender.

—A classmate of the opposite gender, staying over.

Both are extremely special events for regular high schoolers. ......Even if the high schoolers in question had spent time together, under the same roof, in the other world, the indescribable racing of the heart remains all the same.

Both of them froze up and did not move at all.

There was a silence so long that it was as if time had stopped.

—Just then... The sound of the door opening echoed throughout the front of the house.

" "............!" "

The two of them jumped.

"Are master and Saki......not coming in?" Shea called out to them while peeking out from a gap in the door.

"......Ahh, sorry. We are coming in, we are coming in"

Regaining some of their composure after hearing Shea's words, they nodded at each other before entering the house after Shea went in.

After heading to the living room, they spent time lazing around and eating snacks with the girls who went in first.

"......Kind of reminds you of the life over on the other side, huh," Saki said while they were doing this.

"Indeed"

The girls, frolicking in front of them as usual. While looking at the girls, the two of them reminisced about their days over in the other world.

......Before long, the nervousness and awkwardness they felt earlier slowly vanished.

◇

They spent the rest of the time relaxing, and it came time for dinner.

Today's dinner was the same as yesterday; Everyone worked together to make it.

Kikyou thought about making it on his own as a form of hospitality; However, whether it was due to a habit they cultivated in the other world, everyone started helping out naturally. Of course, Saki was among them.

It seems like Saki had been taught by Saori, as part of her homemaking training, before she went to the other world, so her cooking skills were quite good. ......Well, she was a misandrist at the time, so it seems like she did not think of it as homemaking training. She, instead, learnt it because she thought it would benefit her when she was living alone in the future.

By the way, the main dish for today is rolled cabbage. Kikyou chose this dish and made it so that it resembled Roiled Cabbage, which was Saki's favorite in the other world.

"Mmm! As expected, the meals Kikyou makes are the best"

"Bon appétit," Saki said, before swiftly biting into a rolled cabbage, causing her to break into a broad smile.

As expected, with more seasoning, it was, perhaps, tastier than Roiled Cabbage as Saki was happier than usual.

As if to mimic Saki, the other girls stuffed their mouths full of rolled cabbage as well.

"......*gulp*!? ......Mm, super delicious! As expected of Master!"

"Yummyyy!"

"It is delicious! It is so delicious!"

"......Kikyou is......a godly......cook"

They each praised him in their own unique way.

......Yeah, that makes me happy.

Everyone helped out with the cleanup after the meal as well. Lumia and Lew said that they would do the dishes, so Kikyou went about preparing the bath.

He washed the bathtub, filled it with water, and everyone took turns to take a bath, following the same order as yesterday.

Kikyou thought that it would be more chaotic than yesterday since Saki was here, but it went smoothly, and everyone managed to take their baths.

And so......the time for hair drying came once again. Everyone lined up in a single file like yesterday, but......Saki was in that file as well for some reason.

Kikyou looked towards Saki.

"Everyone was saying that it feels good to have Kikyou dry their hair for them, so......I got curious, that's all," Saki said, pouting due to his gaze.

......Seems like that's her reasoning.

He proceeded to dry the girls’ hair, who were seated, and it was finally Saki's turn.

"......Well then, erm......please do," Saki said, slightly embarrassed, before she sat on the carpet in what a layman would call 'W sitting'.

And so, Saki's turn at hair drying started.

First, Kikyou gently runs his finger through her hair to untangle it.

......Gently, gently, so as not to hurt Saki.

"......Nn"

That weird sensation caused Saki to purse her lips.

"Something wrong?"

"......Feels kind of ticklish"

"Should I stop?"

"......No, please continue"

After hearing Saki's words, Kikyou continued to untangle her hair with his hand.

Saki would either jolt or rub her thighs against each other at times, but Kikyou paid them no mind and continued.

After untangling her hair with his hand, he dried her hair using a hair dryer while untangling her hair using a comb.

......Saki's hair is long, so it sure takes quite a while, or so Kikyou thought as he continued to dry her hair.

Ten minutes later.

"Alright, it's done"

"......Thanks"

"Sure thing. How was it?"

"It was not bad," Saki said as she stood up with her back facing Kikyou.

She walks away from Kikyou in this manner and......joins the group of girls.

She then murmured to them while using soundproofing magic to prevent Kikyou from overhearing all of them.

"Saki, how was it?"

"......That...sure is bad. I could get addicted to that"

"......Godly......use of hands"

"How bout Saki has Master dry your hair for you every day as well?"

"I find myself considering it as a viable option"

"......Warm and fuzzy......exciting......and it feels good......after all"

"Indeed......it truly is"

Kikyou tilted his head as he looked at the girls, who went out of their way to use sound-proofing magic, and were murmuring amongst themselves.

However, perhaps trusting the girls, he did not press them about it...... Feeling the need to put Latiana, who was floating dizzily through the air, likely due to her sleepiness, in bed, he took her to the second floor.
