Juri and Setsuna-nee eventually left the cabin. No matter how much Setsuna-nee wanted to stay and perhaps continue reminding us, Juri dragged her away. Her indignant look was the last thing we saw before that door closed.

Satsuki facepalmed and sighed at her sister’s act but not long after that, it was replaced by a joyful giggling, “Geez. Nee-san is slowly changing or is it just because she became entangled with you? Un. You’re the sole reason why she’s acting like this now.”

“Am I now?” I replied at the same time as I turned to face her, my arms swiftly wrapping around her slender waist.

She’s not wrong on that, of course. There’s no point denying it anymore as she had already seen it earlier.

Allowing me to lift her off her seat and onto my lap, Satsuki replied with a knowing smirk along with a poke to my nose, “You don’t have to deny it. I can smell my sister all over you.”

Ah. Yes. There’s no way she won’t notice it given how keen her sensory organs are. But then again, I’m not even trying to hide it. I’ll still tell her about what happened. That way, she will be prepared in case Setsuna-nee consults her.

“All over? Isn’t that too much? I only held her because of an accident and also... when she hugged me on her initiative.”

“Heh... Tell me more.”

As she daringly straddled me with her arms and legs swiftly wrapping themselves around me, the girl bit my lips before smirking once again. She’s rightfully intrigued. This is about her sister, after all. Moreover, I have yet to express my genuine thoughts concerning Setsuna-nee. Not just a general thought but whether I am interested in her or not.

She’s aware of the scouting trip and everything that happened with us there albeit without the full second-by-second account of what exactly happened. She’s also aware of the events in the restaurant.

But even with all of that, I continued to act like I was only trying to get along with Setsuna-nee for her sake.

“Alright. I won’t even try to hide this anyway.” I bit her lips back before turning it into a full-on deep kiss, letting my desire for her take over.

Satsuki didn’t shy away from that since she was also of the same mind. We can multitask anyway.

And with that, while we’re more or less getting more intimate by the second, I recounted the minutes I spent alone with Setsuna-nee. And at the end of it, I also told her what I thought of her.

“I honestly don’t know yet. You can say I care for her the same way I do for you. If she’s troubled with something, I’ll probably help her out. However, I’m still a distance away from being interested in her. Maybe I’m being apprehensive since she’s your sister and Sakuma can’t stop talking about her. You also expressed how you’d be uncomfortable if I also fell in love with her. That’s why I...”

I didn’t finish my sentence there. Instead, I put my hand on her face, gently and affectionately caressing it.

Enjoying the warmth of my palm, Satsuki closed her eyes for a bit. And then, her hands crawled from the back of my head, squeezing my face between her palms.

With her fiery gaze that burned from her love and desire for me, she pecked my lips a few times before responding to what I said.

“Idiot... I knew you’d say this. Question yourself again, how did you fall in love with us? Did it just suddenly pop up like a bubble? How did we fall in love with you? Did it also randomly pop up? No, right?”

Yep. That wasn’t just a response but a complete scolding, reminding me of what I probably forgot to consider here. And she’s not done yet.

“Like how you suggested it to some of us, you don’t have to make up your mind right away. You know yourself, idiot. And we also know that you won’t just magically fall in love with anyone without any reason.

“Let’s take myself as an example. Do you remember? You were still blinded by your desire back then. But I could tell that you’re attracted to me. You see, you keep following with your eyes.”

“You could argue that it was because you made me a target. However, idiot Ruki, that’s still a form of attraction. And that attraction gradually shaped your feelings for me.”

“Indeed, you played dirty. You took advantage of how we’re in circles about our feelings for each other by inserting yourself in the middle. But you see, everything you did for me back then contributed to how I developed my feelings for you. You did what Sakuma couldn’t. I knew I was also at fault for abandoning my feelings for him. Before your first visit to our house, you’ve long outweighed him… I just couldn’t be completely honest there…”

Satsuki caught my lips once again and nibbled on it. Her face was as red as an apple and most likely, it could be attributed to her recollection of what happened back then.

Likewise, listening to everything she said, I could not help but recall the sensation of how I eventually fell for her. She’s correct. At that time, it was only masked by my desire. I did realize it but it’s already way past the point of stealing her affection from Sakuma. She even scolded me when I confessed to her.

My chest excitedly throbbed, making me feel light on the head. My feelings for her welled up and it feels like it’s now about to burst out of my chest.

And with our close connection, I could sense that It’s the same for Satsuki. Her whole body was screaming about it.

Our kisses intensified and with our desire for each other also playing a part, we understood that this wouldn’t be enough to fully express our love for each other.

Locked in our passionate kisses that seemed to be never- ending, the two of us tugged at each other’s clothes, slipping our hands inside to directly feel the warmth of each other.

As we were still a little mindful that we shouldn’t do this in someone else’s cabin, the two of us looked at each other and communicated silently. Before long, I firmly secured her in my arms as I carried her up and moved us somewhere else. To the only other room in this place, the bathroom.

We’re still not crazy enough to try the balcony…

Anyway, the bathroom space wasn’t small at all. It’s twice as big as the cubicle in the gymnasium’s shower room. And given that we already did it once in a restroom cubicle in the School Building, this was plenty enough space for us.

As I dropped her feet to the floor, I gently pressed her against the wooden wall. Our overflowing feelings for each other are still rampaging in our chests.

Our passionate kisses resumed and the distance between our bodies became nonexistent.

“Pervert Ruki... Remember, we’re not done talking yet.”

Satsuki said that as she started taking my shirt off. I lifted my arms to help her out. Following that, I did the same for her; taking her top off.

Once again, my eyes were blessed by her alluring figure that never failed to turn me on. I doubt I’d ever get tired of admiring it.

As I slowly ran my hands along her smooth skin, tracing her curves with my fingertips, I replied, “I know. Let me hear more of that later, alright?”

“Un… Now, shut up and continue kissing…”

With her face gradually being overtaken by the heat spreading throughout our bodies, the girl clasped her hands on my nape, pulling my head down.

Yeah. There’s just no getting tired of kisses between us.

A while later, the remaining articles of clothing on our bodies were taken off one by one and thrown to the side.

Before fully indulging in what we were about to do, I cupped her cheeks and pressed my forehead against hers. And just like this, I opened my mouth, conveying the words I failed to deliver earlier…

“I love you, Satsuki... Thank you for clearing my head up. I promise I won’t ever disappoint you.”

Despite her erotic look, a lovely smile bloomed from her lips as she sweetly giggled in reply,

“I love you too, idiot Ruki. Take that promise back. I trust you enough to be confident that you won’t ever disappoint us... Didn’t you say it yourself? You rely on us to correct your wrong notions. And that’s what I just did. I made you remember that your desire isn’t the only reason why we’re in this relationship. We fell in love. And that love is something we cultivated together...”
