Escorting them home

Just like last time, I prioritized escorting my girls home. This time, with the addition of Nina, Arisa, and Izumi, we got off the bus at an earlier stop than the one close to Nami, Shizu, Hina, and Saki’s neighborhood.

As always, I ended up overthinking about how to bring it up. When I managed to come up with a flimsy excuse in my head that would probably sound so weak, I was met by the girls’ knowing smiles as though they already expected what I was about to say.

Yep. What a dumbass. My girls could already read me like an open book. Even Nina understood why I became silent.

Due to that, the vampire fanatic found it more amusing to see that side of me.

“Not gonna lie, senpai. I love discovering things like this. Will you show me more?”

Or so she said.

I didn’t answer her, pretending I failed to catch what she said.

All of us got off together, leaving the remaining passengers whispering behind our backs.
