Is it really okay?
In the end, Futaba’s tickling was just one of the many episodes happening in this long sleepover night.
After I swept Akane’s no-filter question by laughing it off and bringing Futaba to the front to show that nothing was wrong with her other than not being able to recover from being flustered, I brought the girl to her seat next to Eri.
Futaba was still glaring at me though but that’s fine. She’d calm down soon. On the other hand, Eri teased her friend, asking her how the experience was.
And Futaba’s answer? “I wish for you to experience the same thing.”
Eri got confused by that since she’s the one who got tickled first but Futaba refused to elaborate.
When Eri turned to me for clarification, I also didn’t say anything other than winking at her.
After that, I went around the table to take a seat in the middle of Akane and Fuyu.
Perhaps because of what happened, Futaba and Eri didn’t find it strange that I sat between them.
