Having nothing else to do except wait for the four to return from their haunted manor exploration, the girls and I sat back down where they had been waiting for us earlier.

I thought of suggesting leaving them behind but upon second thought, it could get them in trouble if something happened with those idiots. It’s better not to unleash my pettiness here and just spend my remaining time with them in peace.

But then again, they’re too loud.

Their screams were audible even though we were already located quite a distance from the manor.

I could imagine them pulling at each other’s clothes, ensuring no one got separated.

Surprisingly, none of them attempted to return to the jammed door. They had yet to discover the horror of being trapped inside.

Of course, they could still force it to open. The stick I used was already old and so was the door itself. But isn’t it dreadful to think that a ghost locked you in there? They’ll probably brag about the experience to their peers later. But that would only happen if they didn’t become too terrified to talk about their experience.

Now, this has become an eventful trip for them. Isn’t that a lot better than picking up girls?

Anyway, while they were busy screaming and running inside the manor, Arisa and I shared what we experienced inside – not including what we did before the actual exploring, of course.

The boiler room that I already mentioned. The scenery we saw. And lastly, the room which was in fact the same room depicted in the faded digital photo.

That got them more interested. Juri even checked the photo again, scrutinizing every little detail. However, just like what we concluded earlier, the circumstantial evidence was still lacking in order to solve whatever mystery was shrouding the place. She said she was going to ask around again for more information.

I told her not to overdo it since there must be a reason why it remained a mystery or why it got abandoned in the end. Sometimes, it’s better to be overly cautious than curious.

Yeah. Her name’s not Otsuka Karen anyway. If it’s that overly curious girl, she’d definitely be able to find out more just by snooping around and asking the right questions.

Ah. Now that I think about it, I haven’t seen her anywhere. She should also be here given that she’s also a second-year student. If she’s out there, I’d bet a kidney that her head was once again stuck in limbo, trying to satisfy her curiosity over something that took her interest.

Good thing I haven’t met her yet but just in case I run into her, I’d give her a proper junior-like greeting. It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other, after all.

A while later, we soon moved past the topic of the mystery of the manor and switched our topic to the whole camping trip in general.

It’s the same as what I talked about with my other girls. Their unique experiences today and whether they’re enjoying it or not.

I listened to them first before I also started with my story of how I kept on trying to sneak into the girls’ camp.

As I expected, it earned me a varying degree of disappointment and awe for my tenacity and recklessness.

Could I even argue about it? No. Even if I said that it was to create more opportunities for us, it’s undeniably reckless.

The four girls reminded me to be careful in their own unique way.

Shizu and Juri used a mix of praise and scolding. The former was naturally stricter while the latter seemingly just wanted to make me change my approach.

Arisa didn’t say anything but she jumped on my lap and pressed her forehead against mine.

And lastly, Izumi went on a long tirade about how careless I am but in the end, she folded in my embrace while expressing her concern for me.

Soon after that, when we got hit by the realization that we’d be separating again upon leaving this place, the four girls focused more on pampering me or getting pampered by me.

I do wish I could spend more time with them. Unfortunately, it’s impossible.

Still, with what little time we had, we decided to savor every second of it.

With Shizu and Izumi sitting on my side, Arisa placed herself behind me. Of course, although I’ve already done a lot with her, I would never leave her out.

The two of us started with soft and swift kisses that gradually became more intimate by the second. When Shizu and Izumi started getting competitive, she paused and let them fight over my lips while she kept my head secured in her embrace.

With most of my attention shifting to them, I unhesitatingly showered the two girls with more kisses, alternating between them. Let’s just say it’s the continuation of what we started before exiting earlier.

And along with that, our naughty hands explored each other’s bodies. My hand went behind the two girls, cupping their squishy buttocks.

On the other hand, even if Shizu minded that we weren’t alone, she boldly slipped her hand inside my pants, expertly gripping what I was hiding there. She started stroking me until it fully hardened.

She probably wanted to pull it out but Izumi channeled what we did in that empty room a few days ago.

Taking the initiative from her, the girl climbed up on my lap as soon as she got the opportunity. And when Shizu pulled her hand out, she closed in on me and started rubbing herself on my erection.

As for Juri… Well, she’s the one who acted the most reserved during this occasion.

She remained standing not far away from us.

Obviously, I just couldn’t leave her out as well.

However, I approached her differently, instead of grabbing her arm and pulling her close, I asked her if she could sit down in the space Izumi vacated.

She could be feeling uncomfortable, after all. I mean, she did witness me making love with Satsuki not too long ago. Then, when I was with Haruko and the others, she also witnessed our intimacy.

This time, witnessing Shizu and Izumi acting bolder even within her presence, it wouldn’t be a surprise if she felt the need to take a step back.

Or so, that’s what I thought.

“Ruki… It’s inappropriate, no?”

That was her response but little by little, she’s already closing in. Looking at her face which was disagreeing with her use of propriety in this situation, I couldn’t help but smile and shake my head at her display.

I stretched my arm out for her to take and replied, “Yes, it is. But Juri… don’t you want to?”

Shizu and Arisa turned their heads in her direction. They’re amused and intrigued. Perhaps they’re being reminded of themselves. They also acted like this before, after all.

But then again, she joined in when Shizu and Izumi asked for my kiss before handing me over to Arisa earlier.

If anything, that’s probably a little confusing for them.

They couldn’t understand that part but I do. This is just Juri’s way of battling against her propriety.

Even though she pretty much accepted that I am truly involved with these girls in a deeper emotional connection, it’s inevitable for her to slowly come to terms with it.

Earlier, she got taken in by the atmosphere but now… her headspace was more unoccupied. Hence, she couldn’t just put herself in between me and another girl.

“I do…” Juri bashfully nodded her head. Before long, her eyes focused on Izumi whose hips were moving back and forth while her legs were locked behind me.

Upon noticing Juri’s gaze, the girl on my lap hurriedly buried her face on my shoulder. Yeah. She was also a little conscious of how she looked at the moment. She’d rather hide her face than let Juri see her current expression

And because of Izumi’s move, the look on Juri’s face visibly turned a little awkward.

She realized that despite the boldness she perceived from Izumi, her shyness didn’t diminish. Just that, her desire for me has won her over. And yes, it’s the same as earlier. She was scared and yet… having me hug her tightly put her at ease.

“As you can see, this is the result of our desire. Don’t you feel it too, Juri? Come here… You call me shameless but I can’t just let you stand there and watch us.”

Juri grabbed my outstretched hand and sat down on my side. With her body leaning close to me, started by nibbling my exposed ear before whispering

“I get it, Ruki. I should adopt the same level of shamelessness to keep up with them. With you.”

Upon hearing that, I got the urge to bite her lips and so I did, making her eyes open wide in surprise.

“That’s not the realization I’m expecting from you, Juri. But it’s fine. You still can’t be as shameless as me anyway. And look, they’re also waiting if your desire for me was the same as theirs.”

I laughed a little before pointing to Arisa behind me whose chest now served as my headrest, almost burying me in between them, and Shizu who was currently holding onto my arm. She’s guiding my hand into her pants. At the moment, I was still on her navel, massaging that sensitive part of her.

Juri took a deep breath before biting my lips back. A moment later, she wrested my head from Arisa before plunging me down on her bouncy pair after rolling her shirt up.

This… Did I provoke her too much? She snapped.
