1-17 Saki's Sleeping Spot and Kikyou's Bed

TLed by: TanoshiKara

The exciting game of Fario Kart ended, and the time was 2300; A time that might be a little too early to sleep for high schoolers nowadays.

However, it was here that they faced a problem.

"Ah......I didn't think about Saki's sleeping spot"

Indeed. Perhaps it was because Kikyou agreed to Saki's stay over after being swept along with the sudden developments, he did not think about her sleeping spot. Additionally, there were currently no rooms available in Kikyou's house and no futons for Saki to sleep in.

"I am alright with anywhere. If there is no futon, then......this sofa will do," Saki said indifferently after learning that fact.

"No, that is a little... ......Ah, that's right"

"In that case, you can sleep on my bed, Saki. Only if you're alright with it, of course," Kikyou said after nodding his head.

After hearing that, the girls twitched and looked at Saki. Saki twitched as well before hesitating for a while.

"It's not like I am opposed to that, but that won't do. Having the owner of the house sleep on the sofa is..." She then said with a reluctant and apologetic expression on her face.

......Yeah, I knew she would say that.

When interacting with people she is close to, Saki has the habit of putting herself before others. This is, without a doubt, Saki's way of showing kindness and something deserving of respect.

However, as long as Kikyou had his mind set on having Saki sleep on his bed, they would be stuck in a Quagmire of a situation.

......In that case, I have no choice but to use Saki's personality to my advantage.

"But, you knowww, if I don't let Saki use my bed, I would feel guilty and mighttt just not be able to sleep soundly"

"I can't turn you down if you say that," Saki said with an expression which suggested she was pouting.

Kikyou smiled slightly when he saw that.

"Well then, it is decided that Saki will sleep on my be—" Kikyou then said after a nod.

"—No, I still think I should not. I'll feel guilty as well," Saki said loudly as if to interrupt Kikyou

" "......" "

A moment of silence.

"R-Right. In that case—" Saki murmured, having thought of a brilliant idea.

After shooting Kikyou a glance, she looked down.

"Say, Kikyou, if both of us are not willing to back down......we have no choice but to look for a way to compromise," She then said.

"Well, that isss"

"T-Then—"

"......How......about......together," Saki said as Kikyou nodded, seemingly having steeled herself.

"............Hm?"

"I am saying that—"

Saki approached Kikyou all of a sudden.

"......Sleep together with m-me on the be—" She then said with moist, upturned eyes as she pinched the edge of his shirt.

"—Wait a minute! That's unfair!" Shea interrupted, unable to bear it any longer.

"......What do you mean by unfair? There is no helping it is there? This is the result of putting both of our views together," Saki said nonchalantly.

"Nooopee! There should be no need for Master to sleep together with Saki!"

"W-Whar do you mean by that? Do you have another solution?"

"I haveee! ......That is simply—that I sleep together with Master!"

"Shea just wants to sleep together with him, right!?"

"Like you're the one to talk, Saki. Those upturned eyes you showed Master earlier; You sure didn't have those eyes because you were compromising!"

"......Ug-"

"......Lew too......wants to......together with Kikyou," Lew said at that moment.

"I too want to spend a night with Kikyou-sama if possible," Lumia then said.

Lumia probably said it without any ulterior motives in mind, but there is this indescribable lewdness to it, or so Kikyou thought as he smiled wryly.

"For now, the option of sleeping together is out of the question. Even if we are like a family, a boy and a girl who are about the same age, doing that is"

The four girls pouted. Lew tilted her head.

"......What will......you do......then?"

"......I understand. I shall gladly use it this time," Saki, perhaps thinking that arguing over this was pointless, said loudly after she exhaled slowly, just as Kikyou was about to answer Lew.

"Thanks, Saki!"

"No, no, it is not something you should be thanking me for, though......"

While perplexed by the situation of being thanked even as she was the one who was borrowing the bed, Saki was restless for some reason.

"Uu, Master's bed......I'm jealous......" Shea muttered while staring at a restless Saki.

"Geez, Shea......"

"......That is true......I am jealous......"

"Even Lew"

I am jealous!, or so Lumia tried to suggest with her gaze.

"Eh, even Lumia?"

The three of them shot expectant gazes at Saki.

"......That won't change anything......" Saki said as she looked away

"Ahhhh! She's surely gonna press her face against Master's Futon and sniff it!"

"I-I won't do such a thing!"

"She stuttered! I hit it on the mark!"

That did hit the mark. No, I never did intend to sniff his bed, but at the very least, I did have some ulterior motives when I learnt that I could sleep in Kikyou's bed. However, that is not something I can admit to, or so Saki thought.

"......Ahh, sheesh, I get it already! Since it has come down to this, let's face off with Kikyou's bed as the reward!" Saki exclaimed somewhat agitatedly.

"As expected of Saki! That's what I've been hoping for!"

"......I won't lose"

"I will not lose!"

"We'll face off using that, alright?"

"Of course! When it comes to deciding things like this, we always face off using that—"

Shea stretched out her right hand.

"Rock-paper-scissors, after all!"

......And so, looking at the four who were fired up for some reason, Kikyou felt fuzzy inside as he was reminded of a similar scene he had often witnessed in the other world, but he also felt perplexed that the reward was his bed.
