Reincarnated as Itsuka Shido: Collecting Spirits as Lovers

"Remember not to cross the partition, alright? Otherwise, I will poke your eyes out." Kotori warned sternly, her eyes narrowing as she shot Shido a pointed glare.

Shido could only smile bitterly at her words. 'Why is she acting like I'm some kind of shameless pervert?' He sighed internally. There was no way he would sneak into their bed… right?

Still, knowing better than to argue, he simply raised his hands in surrender and nodded helplessly. "Yeah, yeah, I got it."

With that, he turned and made his way to his designated sleeping area.

After dinner, the girls spent some time playing with Shido, engaging in various games like table tennis. It wasn't until Kotori clapped her hands and called for order that the group finally settled down for the night.

Shido, not wanting to cause any trouble, walked toward his designated sleeping area without a word. He didn't really mind sleeping alone since he might do something inappropriate with Tohka or Origami causing them to be caught.

However, Tohka and Origami had other plans. Without hesitation, they voiced their desire to sleep in the same futon as Shido.

"No way! Absolutely not!" Kotori's voice rang through the room, her face turning red, not from embarrassment, but from sheer frustration.

"B-But why? It's just sleeping!" Tohka pouted, crossing her arms.

Origami, as always, was more direct. "I don't see the problem. In fact, I insist."

"You two are the problem!" Kotori snapped, stomping her foot. "I know exactly what you two are thinking!" She pointed an accusatory finger at them. "There will be no funny business tonight! I forbid it!"

Leaving them with no choice, Tohka and Origami lowered their heads in disappointment. However, the moment Kotori turned her back, the two exchanged glances and nodded to each other.

Although they are nemesis, right now, the have to let go of their fight.

The two had an evil smiles on their face as they laughed weirdly, causing Kotori to feel helpless.

Reine, on the other hand, quietly sipped her coffee, though, as usual, it was overloaded with an absurd amount of sugar. She gazed up at the starry sky, completely ignoring the escalating commotion inside the room. Ignoring the bickering happening inside the room. 

Meanwhile, Yoshino sat quietly, observing the lively argument in front of her with innocent curiosity. When she heard Tohka and Origami adamantly insisting on sharing a futon with Shido, Yoshino also became tempted.

She wanted to sleep beside him too.

The mere idea of curling up next to Shido, feeling his warmth as she peacefully drifted off to sleep, made her heart flutter. Unlike Tohka and Origami, whose intentions were far from pure, Yoshino's desire was simple and innocent.

As the thought lingered, a soft blush spread across her cheeks. She shyly lowered her head, trying to push away the embarrassment welling up inside her.

However, her moment of fluster didn't go unnoticed.

From her hand, a mischievous voice chimed in.

"Fufu~ Yoshino, you're thinking something naughty, aren't you?"

"E-Eh?! N-No! It's not like that, Yohshinon!" Yoshino panicked, shaking her head frantically, but her reddening face betrayed her words.

Yoshinon snickered. "Oho? Then why are you blushing? You totally wanna snuggle up to Shido, don't you?"

Yoshino covered her face, embarrassed.

...

It was the middle of the night.

Kotori woke up from her sleep. A faint rustling sound reached her ears, pulling her out of her drowsiness. Still groggy, she blinked a few times, trying to adjust to the darkness of the room.

The noise came again.

Frowning, Kotori scanned the room, her eyes adjusting to the dim light. The silhouettes of the sleeping girls were visible, their steady breathing filling the quiet space. However, her gaze soon landed on an unusual sight.

Yoshino was sitting on her knees, her small figure barely noticeable in the dark. She was leaning forward, peeking over the edge of Shido's futon with an dazed expression, however, her face was also blushing hard at this moment.

Kotori's brow twitched.

'What in the world is she doing…?'

Strangely, she noticed that Yoshinon was dropped on the side of her bed, just like a puppet without life. Completely different from her usual lousy and provoking personality.

However, it wasn't that important right now. Kotori was attracted by the strange sound that was coming out of Shido's side.

Even Yoshino was staring in daze, peeking in the small gap on the partition.

This made Kotori curious yet nervous. 

Kotori turned her head to see whether the rest were still asleep however, she was dumbfounded to see that, except for Reine, whose back was facing her, as if she was asleep. Tohka and Origami were gone from their position.

A bad premonition throbbed in her chest, and she silently grit her teeth.

Kotori stealthily moved beside Yoshino, causing the meek Spirit to nearly squeal in surprise. However, before she could make a sound, Kotori quickly placed a hand over her mouth, silencing her.

 Kotori gestured for Yoshino to calm down and remain quiet. Yoshino obediently nodded, taking a deep breath to steady her nerves.

Seeing that she had now calm down, Kotori slowly removed her hand. Without a word, she shifted her focus toward the small gap in the partition that led to Shido's sleeping area.

Meanwhile, Yoshino remained silent, her face burning hot as she lowered her head bashfully. Just recalling what she had seen moments ago was enough to make her heart race.

Yoshino couldn't bring herself to explain what was happening inside. The embarrassment was too much for her, so she could only offer Kotori a helpless, bitter smile, waiting for her inevitable reaction.

Kotori, on the other hand, had never felt this nervous before.

Taking a deep breath, she cautiously leaned in, inching closer to the small gap in the partition to see what had left Yoshino so flustered.

Although she already had a hunch about what was happening inside Shido's area, Kotori still wanted to deny her idea.

But the moment her eyes peeked through the gap, her entire body froze. Her eyes widened in sheer disbelief, her mind struggling to process the scene before her.

For several seconds, Kotori was completely stunned, unable to form a single word. Then, as realization fully set in, her cheeks flared up in an intense shade of red.

What she saw was Shido, Tohka, and Origami rolling around on the futon while indulging themselves on their carnal desire to sate their desires.

She couldn't imagine how they could do such a shameless thing.

It was especially since she saw that Origami and Tohka was in a doggy position while Shido was pistoning his waist on Origami and Tohka simultaneously. 

Kotori suddenly felt her body was so hot right now. She wanted nothing more than to bury herself under the covers and erase what she had just seen from her memory.

Kotori carefully closed the gap of the partition so Shido wouldn't notice that she had peeked on them. However, Kotori didn't know that Shido already knew that she was peeking on them from the very beginning. Even the pure and innocent Yoshino wasn't spared.

Shido was even speechless. Yoshino was intensely watching their animalistic behavior with such a cute expression. However, he didn't call her, instead, he let her watch as he continued to go in and out of the two perverted girls who were moaning in low voices.

Kotori saw Yoshino on her back, nervously glancing at her. Their eyes met, and for a moment, neither spoke. Kotori's face burned even hotter, but instead of looking away, she fixed Yoshino with a stern gaze.

"Don't tell anyone about what happened?"

Yoshino quickly nodded, understanding Kotori's reasoning all too well. Seeing her agreement, Kotori let out a long sigh of relief. Without another word, she slumped onto her futon, pulling the blanket over herself like a tightly wrapped spring roll, hoping sleep would erase the memory of this night.

Yoshino momentarily blanked out at this comical sight, yet she didn't laugh. Instead, she looked at the closed partition and recalled those sexy scenes inside her head.

Yoshino felt her face burning hot right now. Even though she was just a child right now, she actually also wanted to know why Tohka and Origami would show such lewd face.

She was so curious that she wanted to try what they were doing. She wanted to do those perverted things with Shido. Yoshino knew it was wrong, however, a part of her felt excited by this fact.

Casting one last glance at the partition that separated them, Yoshino curled up under her blanket, trying to sleep. However, no matter how much she squeezed her eyes shut, the memories kept reappearing on her mind, causing her to be unable to fall asleep.

Meanwhile, muffled sounds still echoed from Shido's side of the room. Kotori already pressed her hands over her ears in a futile attempt to block out the noise. Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, she could still hear everything.

Her body trembled with shame and frustration. At this rate, she might just have to give Shido a beating first thing in the morning.

That night, many people found themselves unable to sleep
