Year 1: April

Naptime Prince

The first thing I thought when I woke up from my post-ejaculation second sleep was, 'They're big…' Moka-san must have kept stroking me until she fell asleep herself, because her hand was still resting on my body.

Even though she'd said she would lull me to sleep, Moka-san must be tired too. I want her to rest to her heart's content. Even so, sleeping together is great: the other person gets to rest, and it satisfies everyone's desire to have someone to dote on.

"Mm ♡ Shouya-sama~, good morning~ ♪"

Moka-san woke with a sultry voice. The time was just past ten. If I saw everyone off at seven-thirty and went to sleep with Moka-san after our naughty time around eight, then we'd slept for about two hours.

"Good morning, Moka-san. Were you able to rest?"

"Mou~, Shouya-sama! That's my line~"

That's right. The one tired and resting was me. I just can't help worrying whether Moka-san and the others are getting proper rest day to day.

"But~, that's exactly what's so wonderful about Shouya-sama~ ♡ You don't dislike me even with my slovenly body, and I'm so happy I got to meet such a wonderful Goshujin-sama~!"

"S-slovenly, no way…"

She isn't slovenly at all. Her breasts and bottom are just big. Her waist is tightly cinched in: a true dynamite body.

"Now! I have to get back to work soon~! Shouya-sama, thank you so much for inviting me~ ♡ Please invite me again, okay~? ♡ And please invite the other girls too~ ♡"

"Y-yes… thank you very much, Moka-san."

Even though she'd just woken up, Moka-san went back to work. She probably felt bad about leaving everything to the other two. I don't think the two of them would be angry if she rested a little longer, though.

After Moka-san left, I watched videos on SNS. Come to think of it, I haven't used the hidden SNS function Reina-san told me about at all. The basic idea is to reach out to a girl you like and get her pregnant, but I don't have the resolve to impregnate a girl that easily.

From a woman's perspective, would she really be happy to be told she could use a man's semen to bear a child? I can't imagine someone would be thrilled if a stranger suddenly said something like that to her…

While I was going back and forth in my head, it was already lunchtime. Lunch was pasta, made to each person's individual order. Even though sauce-making is easy once you've boiled the noodles, the maids' dexterity is astonishing. Setting Miki-san aside, even Moka-san and Yui-san, who are usually so airy, wear a different expression when they cook.

The dish made for me was carbonara. The salty bacon and the rich cheese sauce clinging to the noodles were delicious. The black pepper tightened up the flavor in a way that never gets old. Everyone else was eating happily too, and the maids looked pleased.

In the afternoon, I visited Reina-san's private room that doubles as her workroom.

"Shouya-sama, what's the matter?"

This Reina-san is in work mode, I guess? Whenever she meets me off-duty she immediately starts flustering, so right now she must be in work mode.

"I had a little something to consult you about…"

I consulted Reina-san about the SNS usage I'd been worrying over earlier.

"… I see… Shouya-sama, you really are kind. From a woman's perspective, having a man directly impregnate her is a dream come true. And even if not directly, being personally nominated by a man for permission to use his semen for conception is an honor in itself. It's proof that one is attractive enough to be seen that way in a man's eyes. So Shouya-sama… please truly don't worry about it… just press that approval with the same casualness as pressing a Like and grant permission for your semen to be used ♡"

Reina-san praised me first after hearing me out. I'd thought a woman wouldn't want someone like me, but apparently from a woman's viewpoint it isn't 'me' so much as 'some man whose identity I don't know,' and they paint all kinds of pictures freely in their heads. So really, there's no point worrying. Or rather, nothing comes of worrying. Although if I were actually going to meet and impregnate someone, I might still need a few meetings to gauge our compatibility.

"That's right… Reina-san, do you have time after this?"

"Time…? I don't have any urgent work, but… is there something else you wanted to consult me about?"

"Please wait outside my room for a bit. I'll go call the others too."

"O-outside your room!?"

I told Reina-san only what was necessary and quickly left the room. I thought I heard her say something, but she'd probably switched into off-mode. Without paying it any mind, I went to the maids and the Protection Officers and had them gather outside my room the same way.

"Shouya-sama… what's this?"

Reina-san, who'd been waiting the whole time, asked me what the gathering was for.

"I was thinking we could all take a nap together… Everyone works without a break, and at the very least I want to do this much."

"My! How lovely! I want to be next to Shouya-sama!"

"Shouya-sama! You remembered our earlier promise!"

"Ara ara, are you sure even I can join~?"

Mei-san, Yui-san, and Moka-san were thrilled, but the rest of the group looked a little sour. Moka-san had already slept with me earlier, but it would be cruel to leave her out. Moka-san is a hard worker too. I want her to rest plenty.

"N-no breaks, I mean… just being able to serve Shouya-sama is honor enough…"

"S-same here!"

Miki-san and Satsuki-san didn't seem very enthusiastic. With these two especially, if I don't say it properly myself, I'm scared they'll work until they collapse.

"I-I just work remotely… I have proper days off, so…"

Even though Reina-san claims she works remotely, whenever I see her she's staring at documents with a difficult expression, and if anything, with her home now doubling as her workplace, her workaholism has only accelerated. Even on her days off she always supports me without fail, so I don't think she's resting much.

"Would you consider this an order from your employer?"

"Uuh… but…"

"Maa maa, Miki-chan! Don't you think fulfilling Shouya-sama's request is splendid work too? And resting properly is also part of the job!"

"Satchan! Yui-chan is right! If you and I collapse, who's going to protect Shouya-sama?"

"Ugh… that's true…"

"Reina-san… we all know you're not resting properly even on your days off~. At times like this, you should let yourself be doted on~?"

"Y-yes…"

It seemed Yui-san had won over Miki-san, Mei-san had won over Satsuki-san, and Moka-san had won over Reina-san. With everyone now agreeing to the nap, we all flopped down onto the bed together. Miki-san and Satsuki-san had brought blankets for everyone, so we didn't need to share a single comforter.

"Hehe… ♡ Shouya-sama's arms… are warm after all ♡"

Yui-san wasted no time slipping into my arms to be stroked. Yui-san was still in her maid outfit, but she'd untied her twin-braids and shifted into sleepy mode.

"Fufu ♡ Getting to cling to Shouya-sama like this makes me so happy ♡"

Mei-san was lying behind me in a back-hug position. Her nicely-busty chest pressed against me through her blouse, making my member tingle a little. And further behind her was Satsuki-san, watching us.

"Shouya-sama… I apologize for Mei…"

"It's all right… Satsuki-san… I'm happier when you all touch me this much…"

"Did you hear that?! Satchan! From now on, you should do at least this much to— ow!?"

It seemed she'd gotten a bit too carried away; I could hear the two of them tussling behind my back. The whole scene struck me as funny, and I ended up laughing.

"Ah… Shouya-sama is laughing…"

When I laughed, I heard Miki-san murmur softly. Miki-san had also let down her black ponytail, her long hair spreading across the bed.

"Yes, it's so rare… somehow it makes me happy too ♡"

Reina-san agreed with Miki-san. She'd also unbound her navy hair and taken off the glasses she usually wore. Her actual eyesight didn't seem to be that bad; she was acting completely normally.

"Fufu ♡ We'll have to work hard so Shouya-sama keeps laughing for us~ ♡"

Sakura had said something similar to me before. Do I really look that grim? I wish my expression were softer.

"Funya~ ♡ I'm getting sleepy…"

In my arms, Yui-san had already gone all melty.

"Good night, Yui-san, everyone."

""""""Good night, Shouya-sama.""""""

Since Yui-san looked so sleepy, I said good night to everyone and closed my eyes.

When I woke up, Yui-san was still in my arms, her steady breathing reaching my ears.

But there were fewer people present than when we'd fallen asleep. Miki-san and Moka-san, who should have been in front of me, were gone. The sun was tilting low, so they'd probably gone to prepare dinner.

I know they're busy, but it was lonely that they hadn't stayed with me until I woke. Still, I could hear Mei-san and Satsuki-san breathing softly behind me, so I felt relieved knowing the two of them were there.

"Munyuu… ♡ Good morning… Shouya-sama…"

Yui-san woke up, her eyes opening blearily. She looked so adorable that I couldn't help stroking her head.

"Huh… Miki-chan and Moka-san… ha! Dinner preparations! Shouya-sama! Excuse me!"

The moment Yui-san realized she'd been left behind by the other two, she slipped out of my arms with the speed of the wind and dashed to the kitchen. With Yui-san's warmth gone, I felt lonely, so I scooted a bit forward and clung to Reina-san.

"Nmuu… ♡ Sh-Shouya-sama!? What's the matter?!"

Reina-san woke up at the sensation of me clinging to her. She seemed surprised that I'd suddenly appeared right in front of her.

"Yui-san went off to work, so I thought I'd hug Reina-san instead…"

"I-I see… but this is bad for my heart…"

Even as she said that, Reina-san held me firmly. The fact that she could be this close to me even in off-mode showed how much she'd grown.

"Oh, Shouya-sama, you went over to Reina-san…"

When I'd clung to Reina-san, I'd slipped out of Mei-san's arms, so Mei-san looked a little lonely.

"Come on, Satchan, wake up… it's already evening…"

Mei-san shook Satsuki-san, who was sleeping next to her, but she wouldn't wake at all.

"Shouya-sama, why don't you try hugging Satchan too? She'll definitely be surprised, won't she?"

Mei-san proposed her prank to me with a mischievous look. I wanted to see Satsuki-san get flustered too, so I decided to go along with it. I clung to Satsuki-san's body as she lay on her back and waited for her to wake.

Satsuki-san's body was soft but firm at its core, with strong, springy elasticity. If Moka-san is a marshmallow, then Satsuki-san is more like jelly. Pillowy-pillowy versus bouncy-bouncy.

"S-Shouya-sama?!"

Just as Mei-san had said, when Satsuki-san woke and recognized me, she let out a loud cry of surprise. I was happy that the prank had worked and a smile slipped out.

"Ah ♡ Shouya-sama is laughing again ♡"

When Mei-san noticed I was smiling, she smiled too. When I laugh, everyone's happy. Is my smile really that rare? From now on, I'll have to train my facial muscles so I can laugh even more.

With thoughts like that in my head, I spent the time until dinner playing around with the three of them happily.
