We decided to camp near the pond Piyo found. (This episode contains some sexually explicit content; those uncomfortable with it will not significantly impact the story’s progression if they choose not to read.)
The next morning, when I woke up, it was still a little dark. But the temperature was pleasant, and I got up while everyone else was still asleep.
This is a perfect chance to break a sweat. I’ve been unable to take a proper bath for a while, and my whole body feels uncomfortable. I quickly took off what I was wearing and got into the water. It was a little murky, but I didn’t really care anymore.
The water felt cold and very refreshing due to the drop in temperature. But I had to get dressed before everyone woke up. A team with many girls has to be careful about such things. They might say they don’t mind, but I do. Lately, they seem to have gotten used to me, and they even change in front of me.
Don’t you think you could be a little more conscious of me? As I was thinking that and changing into new underwear, I suddenly smelled cigarette smoke.
I hadn’t noticed at all. Veronica was already awake and turned away from me, smoking a cigarette. That made sense, as the sun hadn’t risen yet. Then, as if noticing me, she turned around.
“What is it, you? You’re quite an early riser.”
I instinctively covered my eyes with my hands. W-why is she… she’s only in her underwear, just like me! She’s not wearing a top, and no pants!
“W-w-why are you naked?!”
“I’m not naked. I’m hot, aren’t you?”
Well, yes, but come to think of it, I was practically naked too! I hastily tried to cover my body with my hands. Oh, this way I’ll see her figure again.
Veronica sighed at my flustered state and turned her back to me again.
Oh, that was close… or rather, isn’t this too embarrassing? Thinking back on it, it feels ridiculous. I should hurry up and get dressed and pretend it didn’t happen.
“It seems my plans for the night have already been decided this early in the morning.”
Ugh… this is the worst. What is this, is she on duty 24/7? Karubene was peeking at me from behind a tree with a grin.
“Please, just disappear.”
“My, my, was this a bit too stimulating for you, Brother? But perhaps… what is it? Is this your first time? Hehe, leave it to me… maybe there’s a chance for a lucky pervert scenario with an older woman taking the lead?”
An older woman? It sounds like a spell.
“No, wait a minute. Could this be… the first time for a 27-year-old? Huh? Conversely, that’s erotic…”
I can’t deal with this anymore. I should have never joined this perverted team. I ignored all her words, wiped myself dry, and put my arms through my sleeves.
Just then, I heard a splash and Karubene’s scream from behind me.
