Chapter 73: Not Getting a Wink of Sleep
Aster refused to play the tune that Mayor Magnus was playing. As such, he pulled out a couple of unused bedsheets from the drawer by the side of the room before walking out of there and heading to the sofa in the living room.
There, he started to set the sheets, creating a comfortable "bed" where he could sleep for the night.
While he was fixing his own sleeping space, Kali, who was sitting on the single sofa nearby, was staring at his back. "You... what are you doing?"
"Huh?"
Aster turned to look at Kali, confused by her question. "What else? I'll be sleeping here."
Kali didn't comment on his response; she merely frowned before standing up and walking over toward the kitchen. Aster continued doing what he was doing until five minutes later, when Cassy and Kali returned.
"I heard from Kali; you're planning to sleep here?"
Cassy asked with her arms crossed before her chest. Since she was only wearing a shirt, it pulled the cloth tighter to her body, making "everything" accentuated even more.
"There's no way we'd let you get the shorter end of the stick again! You're the room's owner; you should sleep on the bed!" She exclaimed.
Aster scratched his head before spouting his words. "No, but... There's no way we can stay in the same room, can we?"
"Why not?" Kali asked.
The two girls walked around the sofa before grabbing Aster from both sides, locking his arms in place.
To his left, a soft valley wrapped his arm, as if they were marshmallows. Due to only having a single piece of cloth between them, he could even feel her skin's warmth through it. To his right, a different kind of supple sensation could be felt. Although Kali had less volume than Cassy did, it didn't lose against it one bit.
Aster felt a current rush from the two girls' bodies, coursing through the part touching him and tickling his spine.
"...!"
While he was lost from the sudden happening, the two girls started to drag him away, heading back to the bedroom he just left earlier.
"See? The bed's big enough for us three! No need to sleep on the ground or on the couch!" Cassy explained with a smile on her face.
"Yeah, it should be wide enough to not feel stuffy even if we all spread our limbs wide while sleeping," Kali added in agreement.
"W-Wait!" Aster raised his voice, trying a last bit of struggle. "I haven't turned off the lights in the living room and kitchen yet! Let me go for a moment."
""NO!""
The two answered at the same time, before Cassy let go and ran toward the switches. She was going to turn off all the lights herself to not give Aster a reason to leave!
While she was away, Kali whispered.
"Mayor Magnus contacted me to keep watch over you tonight. There was an anti-human movement member who slipped through their defenses." She explained with a serious expression. "As such, whether you like it or not, you're sleeping with us. That should make it safer for everyone."
'So there's a proper reason behind Kali's current behavior.' Aster thought, feeling slightly relieved. 'But it's a bit weird—a terrorist slipping past such a tight encirclement? Is that even possible?'
For some reason, he could feel that Magnus was simply lying to Kali to make Aster's night a bit "spicier."
'If that's the case, then... you better remember this, you damned mayor!' He cursed in silence.
"I turned off all the lights; now we can sleep in peace~!" Cassy, who just returned to hugging Aster's arm, announced with a wide smile.
With her return, the two pulled Aster to the foot of the bed before throwing him toward the middle of it, literally. With their strength, it was naught but child's play!
"Ugh!" Aster groaned as he felt his body bounce on top of the soft, king-sized bed.
Although it was soft, sliding across the linen bedcover still hurt a bit. If not for his carved seal regulating the temperature around him, then he could even get a slight friction burn on his elbows from it!
"Ehehe, sleeping together, huh~?" Cassy spoke as she crept up the bed, over to Aster's right. "I slept with my siblings like this all the time back in our village; I kinda miss this feeling~!"
"Sleeping with a man your age and sleeping with kids are two different things, stupid rabbit," Kali commented on the other side while crawling over the bed, reaching for Aster's left side.
"..."
To his right, two large fruits dangled down alluringly, making his eyes follow them as they swayed. To his left is a cat woman crawling in a slightly seductive manner, dressed in nothing but a tank top and hot pants.
As a man, it was impossible not to "react" to the situation at all. After all, it hadn't been that long since he had his first experience with Priscilla. He quickly pulled the blanket over him, up to his shoulders, before moving his hand on top of his junior, pushing it down to not let the two notice his misfortune.
"Eii~!"
Cassy was completely oblivious to his plight and went to grab his arm in one go, hugging it tight.
"For some reason, sticking close to you feels cooler than not... It's not like you have a low body temperature, though." She commented.
Aster couldn't feel the air conditioning anyway, so he didn't touch the controls at all. It was left at 25 °C, which was hotter than the average temperature within a meter around him, about 20 °C, due to his Magic Carved Seal.
Although it was easy to explain, his mind was filled with random thoughts and unable to focus. The sensations on his arm were making his little guy even wilder!
"Hmmm... True. It's about five degrees colder than when away from him." Kali, who curled up to Aster's left, commented. "It's like a special chilled zone or something."
A perfectly balanced, slender beauty to his left. And a voluptuous, innocent cutie to his right. Aster was convinced that he was not going to get a proper sleep tonight.
