It seemed that the schedule was busy until the training. However, after the training ended, it felt like the past schedule wasn’t as hectic as before.
That’s because there were many things to worry about even after the training.
Misunderstandings with Klugger were resolved and the relationship with the team leaders improved compared to before.
Thinking about relationships made me worry even more.
My girlfriends know this, but we haven’t really talked about this issue yet. If an opportunity arises, I’ll talk about it soon, but there’s no need to bring it up unnecessarily when no one else is bringing it up.
Although it might seem like avoidance, my girlfriends didn’t want to create more trouble in their chaotic situation.
Since the ban on confrontation hasn’t been lifted, I stopped going to headquarters. Days of spending time at home became more frequent, and I thought I should go to headquarters if the training evaluation results came out, but the results didn’t come out quickly either.
Usually, the results come out within a week after the training ends, but strangely enough, the results didn’t come out.
The more time passed, the more anxious I became.
There were many things to worry about, but the most significant among them was the report on the previous radio base raid operation.
Because I hadn’t reported the actions I had taken unilaterally, I could be disciplined for that alone. However, the higher-ups did not impose any discipline; instead, they entrusted me with the command of the radio base raid operation.
I could somewhat understand this. As I’ve said several times, it was an action I took unilaterally, and it makes sense for the person originally in charge to have command authority when the situation suddenly escalates.
And since the successful operation so far, the higher-ups have not said anything other than the cease-fire order.
There was no official agreement on what to talk about after the training, but I felt that my punishment had been delayed until after the training.
However, after the training, there was still no news about my punishment.
“Did you wake up with a bad impression again today?”
One day, about a week after the training ended, when I opened my eyes, Yubin, who had woken up earlier, stared at me from beside and pressed her narrowed eyebrows with her finger.
“What time is it?”
“It’s 10 AM.”
Even though I thought I slept longer, I didn’t fully wake up, and my eyelids felt heavy. Yubin, who was watching me while I was trying to wake up by moving around, chuckled.
“Tired?”
“Tired.”
I answered with a sleepy voice, unable to remove the laughter from Yubin’s question, and got up.
I leaned on Yubin’s thigh, which was holding my messy hair, and lay down on it.
“You said you’re not going to work today, right?”
“Yeah. What about you?”
“I’m not going either.”
Should I say it’s fortunate? The situation with my girlfriends was gradually improving.
The embezzlement case itself isn’t completely resolved, but with so much to handle and investigate, it will take more time. However, the investigation of my girlfriends has reached a stage where it’s winding down.
Now, we only occasionally respond to calls and wait, rather than being investigated every day.
Though it’s not over, it feels like we can catch our breath a little, which is comforting.
After finishing the training, my mood and expression improved, and as the frequency of investigations decreased, my girlfriends’ expressions also became more relaxed.
“Do you want to sleep more?”
“No, I need to get up.”
Although I said I would get up, lying on Yubin’s thigh was too comfortable, so I didn’t move at all.
Yubin probably realized I wasn’t getting up immediately, so she just sat there and combed my messy hair.
“Your hair has grown quite long.”
“Really? I didn’t notice because it wasn’t uncomfortable.”
When I touched my hair in response to the comment about its length, I pressed it to check. It felt longer since it reached below my eyes when I pressed it.
“Yeah, we should ask Yura to cut it.”
Thinking back, it’s been a while since I last had my hair trimmed.
Not noticing the discomfort was just because I always put it off, so I never had a chance to realize it.
It’s been three months since Yura last cut my hair, so it’s not strange that it grew longer. Normally, I would go to a nearby salon, but since Yura cut my hair, I wanted her to do it again.
“Didn’t Pink cut your hair before?”
“I went home and found her holding scissors, which surprised me.”
“It was messy. Cell activation device? You said your hair grew because you were inside it, right?”
“Yeah. It increases cell activity to accelerate recovery and extend life.”
“There are many interesting things in Spacystro.”
“We should go together sometime. Yubin would find many interesting things.”
Yubin’s major is related to space science, so there are many things she wants to show me.
She has seen and learned a lot traveling through the vast universe and has many things to show inside the Spacystro spaceship.
Sometime, I’d like to go on the spaceship with her and explain various things.
“Right. With you here, I won’t get lost.”
“Leave it to me.”
I smiled and stood up, puffing out my chest confidently. In fields I don’t know, I can’t puff out my chest, but since this is my area of expertise and Yubin is interested, I can speak confidently.
“First, let’s clean up and get ready. We need to eat.”
“Right.”
Stretching, I got out of bed and grabbed Yubin’s hand as she extended it to help me up.
We exchanged a light kiss and, feeling refreshed, opened the door and entered the living room.
SuA was lying on the sofa, playing games as usual.
I wondered what the others were doing and noticed that Ha Young wasn’t in the kitchen, where she usually stays.
“Where’s Ha Young?”
When I asked SuA, who was lying on the sofa playing games, she turned her head towards me.
“She went home for a bit.”
Ha Young’s visits to her home had increased as the investigation of the embezzlement case involving the girlfriends stabilized. She often went to get clothes or books, almost living at SuA’s house with minimal belongings.
Although I still wish she would move in and live with us, she seems reluctant to leave the house I provided. I can’t force her, and there’s no reason to suggest moving immediately since she’s almost living at SuA’s place anyway.
“Oh? Where’s Milky Way and Yura?”
“Green ate with Blue and me just now, and I’m not sure about Pink. Is she sleeping?”
“It’s still early for her to sleep.”
Yura sleeps a lot and usually wakes up in the afternoon.
Though it’s not time for her to wake up yet, I thought it might be good to check on her room.
“I’ll go take a shower first.”
As I headed toward Yura’s room, Yubin went to the bathroom first to shower.
I knocked on the door, but no sound came from inside.
“Yura?”
I called out, but there was still no answer. Carefully opening the door, I saw a dark room with blackout curtains drawn.
“Are you sleeping?”
“……Ugh.”
When I asked Yura, who was lying in bed, she barely answered with a muffled voice without moving.
I approached and gently pulled the blanket away from her face to see her face.
Her abundant pink hair was spread wide, and her eyes, barely open after waking up, narrowed and looked up at me.
Blinking her narrow eyes and staring at me intently, Yura seemed to have something to say, so I tilted my head and asked.
“Why?”
“……Don’t you want to?”
“Don’t want to.”
I joked with her, pressing her narrowed eyebrows with my finger.
“A girlfriend who doesn’t wear anything and sleeps like this, why don’t you want to?”
“Not wearing anything is just a habit.”
Yura’s voice had a hint of energy as she tried to get up.
When I pulled the blanket away, her large breasts swayed as she sat up naked.
Without caring that she wasn’t wearing anything, I got up from the bed and moved to the other side.
Should I call it a habit? She doesn’t wear anything when she sleeps.
This wasn’t always the case. At the beginning of our relationship, when we went to bed—meaning when we didn’t have sex and just slept—I wore clothes.
In summer, I wore underwear, and in winter, I wore thick pajamas.
Gradually, I stopped wearing pajamas, and recently, I started sleeping without underwear.
It might be because the new bed is comfortable and the heating is better compared to the previous house, but mostly because of me.
When we have sex, I often sleep without underwear afterward. This pattern also applies to other girlfriends, and Yura eventually stopped wearing underwear when sleeping due to this repetition.
Maybe it’s because sleeping without underwear is more comfortable. There were days when I wore underwear to sleep, but I removed them while tossing and turning. After that, I rarely wore underwear.
Opening the drawer under the bed, I took out her sports bra and panties and handed them to her, and she smiled.
“Thank you.”
While I zipped up the sports bra, which has a zipper in the middle, she gathered her hair to avoid getting it tangled.
“I’ll ask you to cut my hair later.”
“Hair?”
Yubin, who was putting on the sports bra and about to zip it up, turned her head to look at me behind her after hearing me ask to cut her hair.
“Yeah, it’s grown a lot.”
“I’ll ask you later.”
“Sure thing.”
Excited about cutting her hair, Yubin smiled broadly, zipped up the bra, and pulled the blanket completely away to put on her panties.
During that time, I released her hair and turned on the light, and when I turned my head after turning on the light, I saw Yura’s legs spread wide.
“How about it? Don’t you want to?”
Approaching her, who was spreading her legs and smiling, I slapped her thigh with my palm.
“Ouch!”
“If you do that in the morning, it won’t work. Put on your underwear first.”
“Tsk!”
When things didn’t go as planned, Yura pouted and put on her panties obediently.
If it were before, I would have held her in my arms and rushed at her immediately upon seeing her seductive moves, but I realized recently that distributing energy well is important, so I don’t rush blindly in the morning anymore.
Of course, there are days when things start early in the morning when my girlfriends are at home, about four days a week.
I watched Yura put on her panties and then spread her arms wide, asking me to hold her.
“Don’t you dislike waking up alone?”
“If you don’t help me, I’ll pout.”
“Because you’re a child.”
Smiling, I held her wide arms and carried her, wrapping her legs around my waist.
Holding her thighs with both hands to keep her from falling, I slowly walked out of her room and into the living room.
“What are you doing?”
When SuA turned her head towards me from the sofa, she asked, narrowing her eyebrows, wondering what we were doing.
“She must not be fully awake yet and doesn’t want to walk by herself.”
“Yellow, good morning.”
“Very much like a master. You’re a master.”
SuA chuckled seeing Yura’s bright greeting and Yura hugging me, finding it amusing.
“I’ll only take you to the bathroom.”
“Yes-.”
I carried Yura, who was clinging to me, straight to the bathroom.
Only when I set her down at the sink did Yura smile satisfied.
“Do you want to wash together?”
Looking at Yura, who was trying to seduce me again, I glanced at the faucet.
Discovering that the faucet next to the sink was actually a shower, I turned it on.
“Ah! Cold!”
Without looking back, I left the bathroom.
“Hey!”
Just as I left, I heard Yura’s resentful voice complaining about her wet underwear from earlier.
