Chapter 292 - Sharing a Pillow

The soft pillow was quite comfortable, yet it did nothing to ease Miffy's confusion. She gazed at the unfamiliar ceiling, her peripheral vision filled by a bed so vast it dominated her entire view.

It was the first time she'd ever used the word 'vast' to describe a bed. Could it be that all beds in the real world were this absurd?

Despite the expansive bed, they only occupied the middle portion, allowing them to lie close together. It was completely different from anything she had seen or heard in the game.

Oh, well... Whatever.

Miffy listened quietly to the steady sound of breathing beside her. She had been lying in bed for over an hour, unable to fall asleep, or rather... she was intentionally staying awake.

She turned her head to look at the person beside her, resting her cheek against his shoulder.

Feeling the young man's warmth, Miffy smiled faintly. This was what she had wanted to do: come to reality and share a bed with Alain.

Just being able to spend a little more time with her player, to have a bit more physical contact, filled her with a profound sense of happiness...

She gazed at Alain's face. He was sleeping quite peacefully, not getting handsy or anything.

Some man he is... This is exactly when he should be getting handsy!

Miffy puffed out her cheeks slightly. I'm giving you a chance and you're not taking it.

But... even if he did seize the opportunity, he probably wouldn't be in the mood. Because of the other girl.

That's right... On a bed this big, it wasn't just Alain sleeping here, but the other Mitas too.

She hadn't realized this until she saw Misha sleeping here as well.

Besides, two other Mitas weren't even here. Which meant... this bed had to accommodate at least three Mitas and one Alain.

Miffy glared at Alain's sleeping face. This—this shameless man!

"Ngh... Alain, don't do that. Stop it..."

Misha was sleeping peacefully, as elegantly as Sleeping Beauty.

It was just that her occasional, delicate sleep-talking, softly calling Alain's name, really ticked Miffy off. Who knew what indecent things those two were doing in their dreams...

She's another shameless one...

Then she saw the sleeping Alain, with a practiced ease, slide his hand inside the collar of Misha's clothes.

"?"

"Heh heh... Soft, smooth, bouncy, firm, and big."

Miffy sat up, staring in disbelief at Alain, who was also talking in his sleep.

Just a minute ago, she'd been thinking what a peaceful sleeper he was, and now he was pulling something like this right under her nose?

"D-Darling... you can't..."

Misha, for her part, began her 'resistance.' But while she called it 'resisting,' she was actually resting her hand on top of Alain's caressing one, her face all but screaming the words: feigning reluctance.

This shameless couple... what were they doing right in front of her?!

Miffy was stunned. Did they do this every night? While... unconscious?

No... Now that she was here, she absolutely had to put a stop to this!

Also, Alain looked exhausted, so she had to avoid disturbing his sleep as much as possible.

Miffy came to a conclusion and lay back down. At the same time, she subtly adjusted Alain's sleeping position.

She didn't stop until his face was turned towards her, at which point she nodded in satisfaction.

The girl rested her forehead against his, smiling faintly as she looked at the young man's face so close to her own, and was just about to drift off to sleep.

"Hmm..."

But on the other side, Misha's eyes fluttered open. She stared blankly at the ceiling, feeling like something was missing.

She looked down at her disheveled clothes. The peaks were exposed, revealing her youthful, delicate charm.

But today, that charm was missing the cover of a large hand.

I see... Darling, aren't you going to get handsy today?

She blinked, confused.

Whenever she'd shared a bed with Alain in the past, he would always do some... unexpected things.

At first, he hadn't managed to touch much. His technique was still clumsy, after all.

But as time went on, Alain grew more skillful, eventually able to reach his target purely by muscle memory.

Over time, Misha had gotten used to it. Now, it felt strange not to have something covering her as she slept.

Her sleepy eyes gazed at Alain's sleeping face.

"Hm?" she murmured, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz, having noticed something was off.

Usually, Alain either slept on his back or on his side, facing her. Why today...

Misha sat up, and seeing Miffy leaning against him, she instantly understood everything.

"Oh..." It seemed this new Mita had broken the unwritten rules right from the start.

Misha narrowed her eyes and began to adjust Alain's sleeping position as well.

"Smack!"

But just then, the hand she was using was slapped away by another.

"???"

Confused, Misha saw the hand's owner—Miffy—open her eyes.

She shot her a look brimming with triumph.

It was enough to make even the normally good-tempered Misha feel a flicker of irritation. Her hand reached for Alain again, only to be slapped away by Miffy once more.

Miffy's eyes were filled with a 'don't even think about it' expression, which only served to awaken Misha's competitive spirit.

She didn't have time to wonder why she was feeling this way towards a newcomer Mita; she just threw herself back into the battle for Alain.

Their two pairs of hands were like clashing blades, constantly meeting and parting above Alain.

And Alain's sleeping form tilted first towards Miffy, then towards Misha, like a set of scales.

Misha looked at her opponent, undisguised surprise in her eyes. This girl was strong; Misha could barely hold her own against her!

And Miffy, too, grew more alarmed the longer they fought.

She was using all her strength, but the other's defense was rock-solid, even having enough leeway to 'parry'...

The focus of their struggle gradually shifted away from Alain. An intense flame of competitiveness burned in both their eyes.

That's right... this wasn't just for Alain, it was for pride, for victory!

Indeed, this was a [WAR]. A war where losing... meant losing something important!

In that daze, they reached a peculiar kind of understanding.

But this understanding lasted only a brief second before it was shattered by a pair of large hands.

"Hey—what are you two doing?!"

The moment Alain opened his eyes, he saw their hands blurring in conflict. Too sleepy to think, he simply gave each of the two culprits a bonk on the head.

"Thump!" "Thump!"

"Oww..." "Sorry!"

Misha and Miffy watched Alain drift back to sleep, their gazes meeting once more in the air above him.

[You just wait.]

Their eyes flashed with this meaning. Then, with a shared understanding, they each forced a smile that held no mirth.

Each took one of Alain's arms and fell soundly asleep.
