[Kirihouji Nagisa]
[Video]
It was early evening. A video was posted in a group chat.
The video started with the picturesque view of the ocean extending to the horizon, showcasing the back of a girl in a bunny girl outfit, leaning against the railing of a ship.
Her adorable bunny tail contrasted sharply with the fact that her bare skin was more visible than it was covered, capturing everyone’s gaze. A pair of wings sprouted from her back, drooping down as if to represent her current mood.
“Mika-chan.”
Soon, a voice clearly belonging to Nagisa rang out from the video. Upon hearing it, the girl, Mika, turned her upper body around to face the camera, which elicited gasps from the girls watching the video from various parts of Kivotos.
As if feeling the heat from the sun, Mika shielded her eyes with her hand, a slight frown on her face.
However, upon spotting Nagisa, she broke into a smile that bloomed like a gorgeous flower, and her drooping wings immediately regained their usual spirited stance.
Some clutched their hearts, some held their breath in focus on the video, and others cleared their throats, checking if anyone was around.
One girl paused the video to admire the fresh smile on Mika’s face, while another stared at the screen with a goofy grin, and yet another barely stopped her hand from wandering to inappropriate places.
“Nagichan! You’re here sooner than I expected? Ah, thank you!”
“Because of that VIP pass or whatever, my order was prioritized…”
“Heueng… That’s definitely a nice perk! Yup, money makes the world go round, huh?”
“But Mika-chan, didn’t you hardly spend any money this time…?”
“Shh, Nagichan. Let’s just gloss over those small details! Good things are good, right? But what’s this? Are you shooting a video or something?”
“Ah, well…”
Mika, taking the drink handed to her by Nagisa, sucked on the straw for a moment. Before any answer could come, she quickly jumped in.
“Aha~ I get it now!”
Saying that, Mika shot a wink toward the cellphone camera held by Nagisa and cheekily blew a kiss.
“To our husbands, don’t feel too let down after receiving this☆”
The expressions of the girls watching the video visibly melted into delight.
“Heueng… But this is really delicious. Want to give it a try, Nagichan?”
“…I won’t decline.”
With that, the video came to an end as Mika extended the drink in her hand toward Nagisa.
[Kurodate Haruna]
[Oh my…]
[Urawa Hanako]
[Uhuu]
[Oddly enough, it seems that Mika-senpai is getting more bold as the days go by♡]
[Amau Aco]
[…It’s vulgar.]
[Urawa Hanako]
[Oh, I know you secretly agree with that.]
[To be honest, Aco, don’t you also want to do some XX to her?]
[Amau Aco]
[That’s what makes it vulgar, you know?!]
[Urawa Hanako]
[You’re just being honest with yourself.]
[I think that’s more of a virtue than something to be ashamed of.]
[Hikari Atsuko]
[Same sentiment.]
[I want to lay Mika-nee down and XXX her.]
[Kosaka Wakamo]
[Ahh. Mika niiim…! I don’t hold any grudge at all!]
[Yes, exactly!]
[What should I do with this overflowing love… Ugh, I can’t take it! I need to give her a call right now!]
[Kurodate Haruna]
[I agree with Mika’s taste in food.]
[The menu today is a special dish that’s quite rare, which I find particularly appealing.]
[Sorasaki Hina]
[…]
[Kirihouji Nagisa]
[Ah. Hina-chan, about that photo you posted last time.]
[Do you happen to have any other pictures?]
[Sorasaki Hina]
[Unfortunately, that’s all I had at that time.]
[I should have taken more when we went to Hakgwiyaeng…]
The group chat of the girls became instantly lively. One girl, unable to suppress her desires, and the new recruit who was too busy with her tasks to check her phone.
Besides those and a certain wolf who wasn’t invited for various reasons, almost everyone was actively participating in the conversation.
[Kosaka Wakamo]
[No way!]
[Mika hasn’t been answering her phone…]
[Is the love cooling off?]
[Kirihouji Nagisa]
[Well, Mika-chan is currently taking a bath. Her cellphone is right here in my hands…]
Just before Nagisa dropped that bombshell, the chat fell silent for a moment.
Then, all of a sudden, messages began pouring in from everyone all at once in the silent group chat.
Seeing the explosive reactions, Nagisa couldn’t suppress a satisfied smile as she sipped her tea.
The chat did not contain anything that Mika should not see or hear. Of course, there was one person who didn’t filter their words at all, but that also applied even in front of Mika, so it didn’t count.
Nevertheless, Nagisa hadn’t invited Mika to this chat for a simple reason. It was to ensure that the girls, gathering around Mika, could live together without major conflicts, respectfully and harmoniously.
Because these girls, who had their lives mortgaged to the flower known as Mika, would inevitably have to face each other in person, it was necessary to have a communication channel to express everything they wanted to say without holding back, away from Mika’s watchful eye.
That communication channel was the existence of this very group chat.
After all, if they were to quarrel where Mika could see, it would only make her sad, and they would have to consider her feelings.
With a heart filled with care for Mika, Nagisa didn’t want that situation to arise, and it was the same for Haruna, with whom she had the biggest disagreements when the chat was formed.
It was rather ironic that since the creation of the “Mika’s Husbands” group chat, there had been no significant disputes at all.
Understanding that Nagisa, who occupied the position most advantageous in the competition for Mika’s affection, was yielding in many aspects, the others also agreed to live and let live.
[Ushio Noa]
[It’s a serene sight indeed. Mika’s… what was it again? Allure? I’d have to agree that it’s becoming more pronounced with each passing day.]
[By the way, you two visited… the Golden Fleece, a cruise ship, right? Heueng. What an amusing coincidence.]
[Kirihouji Nagisa]
[…Ah.]
[Ushio Noa]
[It seems you have a little inkling, Nagisa-chan. I suppose you’ve met my junior who is already there. Am I to assume that is correct?]
[Though I might feel a bit disappointed that Mika didn’t share any thoughts with me, I suppose since she’s on vacation, it’ll be fair of me to let it slide. To some extent.]
Seeing Noa’s phrasing of ‘to some extent,’ Nagisa thought to herself that Mika might just end up having a rough time the next time the two met. She knew full well that Noa was skilled at verbally taking people to task under a smile.
[Ushio Noa]
[Hoping it won’t be a significant disruption to your vacation, I wanted to give you a heads-up. Currently, my junior on the Golden Fleece is the target of a covert operation by C&C from Millennium and by our teacher from Shalle.]
[No matter how much our teacher is involved, the methods of C&C… can be rather destructive, if I may say so? It would be wise to avoid any encounters, if possible.]
[Kirihouji Nagisa]
[Um, about that… I think it might be too late.]
[…Hah.]
[Jomae Saori]
[???]
[Not entirely sure what’s going on, but I’m heading over there right now.]
[Kirihouji Nagisa]
[No, please don’t come! I’m begging you!]
[Jomae Saori]
[…Understood.]
Just barely stopping Saori’s potential chaos from doubling, Nagisa let out a sigh of relief.
She then turned her icy gaze toward the intruders who had barged into her and Mika’s room.
“Um, hello, Nagisa…?”
“I’m sorry, but I’m not feeling that friendly, teacher. I was just thinking it had been a bit raucous outside for a while…”
Nagisa’s gaze shifted from the teacher to the members of C&C, and lastly to the Bunny Girl Guard, who was nowhere to be found.
“If I had to guess, if your goal is to kill, throwing them overboard would be the cleanest method. After all, this is the vast ocean.”
“W-wait?! Even so, I wouldn’t do something like that!!!”
“…It’s obviously a joke, right? Huh. Now that this has happened, let me offer you all a cup of tea—”
Nagisa was just about to suggest pouring some tea to regain control of the situation when suddenly—
Thud!
The bathroom door swung open, and her other half rushed out in a panic. Upon realizing this, Nagisa stood up, flustered.
“Nagichan?! What’s going on?!”
“…?! M-Mika-chan! Your clothes! Clothes!!!”
“Huh? Eeeh…?!”
Mika, seemingly oblivious to the chaos, came rushing out with water dripping from her hair. Her pale skin was glistening from the moisture…
Unsurprisingly, since she had just been in the shower, she had come out without even putting on underwear.
Barely covering the important bits with just a towel, it looked quite precarious… If there hadn’t been any uninvited guests, it might have sparked something in Nagisa. Simply put, it was an utterly alluring sight.
Upon seeing that, Nagisa hurriedly stepped forward to cover Mika and pushed her back into the bathroom, while Mika’s gaze slowly scanned the unexpected guests. In that moment, she spotted the teacher with her eyes tightly shut and head turned away.
“…Hah.”
Instead of showing any significant embarrassment or panic, Mika let out a long sigh.
By now, situations like this were no longer surprising to her… but she still wished they could choose the time and place a bit better.
