Comic strip: Survival on a deserted island, surrounded by heroines

"...Aoyama-kun."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's voice was very soft, so soft it was like a dream.

"Ok?"

You're stepping on my hair.

"Oh."

Upon hearing this, Aoyama moved back slightly.

Then he felt her move slightly, not to the side, but to lean back.

This action is very subtle.

It's like adjusting a sleeping position, or perhaps a kind of tacit consent.

In the darkness, a very faint red tinge appeared around Kasumigaoka Utaha's earlobe, almost invisible without the light of the fire.

Aoyama naturally placed his hand on her waist.

"Did you do this on purpose?" His voice was very low.

"What on purpose?" She didn't turn around, her voice carrying a lazy and nonchalant tone.

“She deliberately sleeps with her back to me.”

"Otherwise what?" She tilted her head, a sly glint in her red pupils in the moonlight. "If I'm facing you directly, I'm afraid someone won't be able to control themselves."

Aoyama really wanted to say that he couldn't actually control things from the front either.

What's more, her pert, plump buttocks were facing away from him.

Who can withstand such a test?

"Shiyu."

His voice was very soft, so soft that only two people could hear it.

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't open her eyes, but the muscles in her back visibly tensed for a moment.

"Why are you even more nervous than during the day?" Aoyama's tone was slightly teasing.

"..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha opened her eyes, her red pupils darting around in the darkness. Instead of looking back at him, her gaze fell on Yukino Yukinoshita, who was less than an arm's length away.

Yukino Yukinoshita lay on her side, her breathing even and deep, and she looked like she was fast asleep.

Her coat collar was slightly open, and she was curled up in the blankets like a quiet little kitten.

“…”

Kasumigaoka Utaha subconsciously bit her lip.

She felt Qingshan's arms embrace her waist, and felt an undeniable heat.

"Are you crazy?" Her voice was extremely low, with a hint of unease at the end. "Yukinoshita-san is right across the street..."

"She's asleep."

"What if he wakes up?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's ears were already turning red. She could feel her heart beating incredibly fast. With her back against Aoyama's chest, she could even feel his steady heartbeat.

Even though he's practically turned into a burning stick, how can this guy still be so calm?

"Qingshan, you're getting more and more... pushy."

She tilted her head slightly, her black hair slipping down her shoulder to reveal a section of her fair neck, its lines graceful in the firelight.

Is it okay?

His voice remained low, his tone questioning, but he showed no sign of stopping.

Kasumigaoka Utaha remained silent for a few seconds.

She could clearly feel that gentle, warm breath, as soft as the night, was right next to her ear.

She knew that Qingshan was never the kind of person who would speak easily.

But she also knew that if she said 'Go to sleep' at a time like this, he would definitely quiet down.

But...you'll definitely overthink all night, right?

"...They're all sleeping very soundly." Her voice was so soft it was almost as if she were talking to herself.

After saying that, she regretted it a little.

Because the arm was noticeably tighter, and the palm of the other hand gently covered the back of her hand.

Kasumigaoka Utaha closed her eyes, her black hair falling down to cover half of her face.

"You promised me."

Aoyama adjusted his sleeping position and whispered, "Don't worry."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's breath hitched slightly, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the bear fur beneath her.

Then I found that it was easier to fall asleep this way, so I lay on my side with my hands around my knees, curling up even closer silently.

"I told you not to... were you even listening to me?!" Her voice carried a hint of anger and reproach.

Aoyama didn't answer until they were completely close together, then he whispered something.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's brows twitched slightly, leaving only boundless tenderness.

She turned her head and her gaze fell on Yukino Yukinoshita across from her.

Yukino Yukinoshita lay quietly on her side, breathing evenly, her long hair spread out on the pillow, the firelight falling on her fair face, her eyelashes casting a small shadow under her eyes.

"It's not bad..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's heart started beating even faster.

The absurd tension, mixed with the intense stimulation that went straight to her mind, made her feel somewhat dizzy.

Somewhat lost in his own world, Kasumigaoka Utaha could only be controlled by his own mind.

Ripples of thought unconsciously drifted backward.

Her brows twitched slightly, but she didn't utter a single word.

But the long, drawn-out breaths betrayed the secrets hidden deep within the night.

"...Did you...do this on purpose?" Her voice was slightly hoarse, as if she were talking to herself.

"Deliberately what?"

“You deliberately chose this spot…” Kasumigaoka Utaha turned her head, her tearful eyes glaring at him in the firelight!

She should have known about that wicked bastard a long time ago.

Next time... next time she definitely can't let him succeed again.

"Also, did you deliberately let Yukinoshita sleep across from you...?"

"Huh?" Aoyama was speechless. It wasn't his arrangement, so how could he have deliberately let Yukino sleep across from him?

It's just that Yukino happens to be sleeping on the opposite side.

Qingshan leaned close to her ear, his breath falling on her earlobe: "Scared?"

"...Who's afraid?" Her ears turned bright red.

"That's good."

At this moment, she noticed that Aoyama's speaking speed had increased slightly.

The voice was much clearer than before, and the words became more concise.

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced sideways, then gently swallowed back some of the words she had intended to say.

She initially refused, but she had no choice.

He insisted on...

"You'd better not go too far!" Kasumigaoka Utaha's words were anything but calm.

"Don't worry, you know me, you just need to trust me."

The green hills remained silent.

His silence, however, is thought-provoking and thought-provoking.

"Qingshan, why aren't you saying anything?!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's voice had a soft, gentle quality that she herself didn't even realize.

Suddenly, Yukino Yukinoshita across from them twitched her eyelashes.

She had actually woken up while Kasumigaoka Utaha and Aoyama were talking.

Moreover, some inexplicable commotion made it hard for her not to come from the Starry Sky Pavilion.

She only heard Kasumigaoka say in a low voice, "Are you crazy?"

Then they heard Qingshan's voice, which was very low: "She's asleep."

"..." Yukino Yukinoshita did not move.

She remained lying on her side, breathing steadily, without even a tremor in her eyelashes.

But from that position, she could feel a slight vibration coming from the other side.

It's very light, but very regular.

Then she heard Kasumigaoka and Aoyama talking furtively.

Until Kasumigaoka, with a hoarse voice she had never heard before, berated Aoyama.

"They...this is impossible, isn't it?"

At the thought of a certain possibility, Yukino Yukinoshita's heart skipped a beat.

In an instant, she suddenly understood.

Her ears became incredibly hot in an instant, and the heat spread from her cheeks all the way down her neck.

"They probably didn't realize I was still awake..." Yukino secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She should turn over and pretend she doesn't know anything.

She should move or cough to let them know she's awake.

But she didn't do that.

Because... it was just too embarrassing.

"There's no other way, let's just pretend we don't know."

Those sounds seemed to possess a powerful force, making her afraid to move.

"Kasumigaoka-kun and Aoyama-kun are really..."

Just then.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's breath hitched, her legs twitched weakly, and then relaxed.

"Why is Kasumigaoka shaking? Is she having a leg cramp?"

Yukino Yukinoshita noticed this scene and was slightly startled, as if she had been struck by something.

She could do nothing and helplessly shrank into the bearskin.

Even outside the shelter, the sounds of insects and birds could be heard from time to time.

"How could you do this..."

Yukino felt her heart beating abnormally fast, her palms were covered in cold sweat, and her legs were involuntarily pressed together.

She didn't know why she was like this.

Shouldn't she be angry?

Shouldn't she feel offended?

But she didn't know what was wrong with her; somewhere was quietly and uncontrollably getting hot.
