Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, painting the room in bright, clear stripes. It was going to be another beautiful, cloudless day.

I cracked open an eye and instinctively reached for my phone on the nightstand.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

We had stayed up far too late, and after expending a considerable amount of energy, I was only just now waking up.

Thankfully, since it was a holiday, the other girls were also sleeping in. If they weren't, and they caught me in Kurumi's room… well, that would have been more than awkward.

"Kurumi, time to get up." New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝙣𝙚𝙩

I gently shook the twin-tailed girl in my arms. I had to make a run for it now, before anyone came barging in. The last thing I needed was to face a firing squad of questions first thing in the morning.

Kurumi's eyelashes fluttered. She murmured a sleepy protest and snuggled deeper into my embrace, her voice a low, sultry purr. "Don't… let me sleep a little longer."

I ran my fingers through her messy hair and sighed. "Did you forget about your promise with the others today?"

It wasn't that I minded lying here with my beautiful girlfriend. Holding her soft, warm body was a pleasure in itself. The problem was the risk of getting caught. Given how possessive the other girls were, I'd be facing a full-blown tribunal.

'And when their jealousy flares up...' I thought, 'they won't let the main culprit off easy.'

"Hmph, I don't care," Kurumi hummed, burrowing even closer and wrapping her arms tightly around me. "My eyes are so sore, I don't want to open them. My body is so tired… I just want to sleep."

Right now, her entire body felt limp and sore, her lips numb. She had absolutely no desire to move.

I looked down at her and sighed in exasperation.

'Just like that? You don't care? What about your promise? And even if you want to sleep in, can't you at least let me go? You're wrapped around me like an octopus. I can't even move!'

Just then, I heard stirring from several other rooms in the villa. It seemed some of the girls were starting to wake up.

I looked at Kurumi, still stubbornly clinging to me, and raised an eyebrow. I had no choice. It was time to provide my girlfriend with a… special wake-up service.

If I let this clingy little nightmare keep me here, we were bound to get caught. I was in no mood to face the girls' strange looks, especially not Kotori's venomous tongue.

I reached down and gave her bottom a light, firm pat.

But Kurumi's eyes remained shut. Not only did it not work, she actually hugged me even tighter, as if trying to merge our bodies into one.

Seeing her so attached, a wry smile spread across my face. I wasn't sure if I should be happy my girlfriend was so clingy, or annoyed that I had worn her out so thoroughly.

The truth was, my nights had been very busy lately. The reason was simple:

Kurumi's clones had been stirring up trouble every single night. The main instigators were the so-called Four Heavenly Queens of her clones—Little Kurumi, Kimono Kurumi, Eyepatch Kurumi, and Bandage Kurumi—along with Qixi Kurumi.

"As a student, the ultimate temptation is a school uniform paired with black stockings!"

"Ara, you're wrong! A gothic-style kimono is the true pinnacle of fashion!"

"Tch, a sweet style is the only way to go!"

"Hmph, I disagree. A punk look, with plenty of bandages for accent… that is the strongest form I pursue!"

"Heh, you're all relics of the past!"

Compared to the main Kurumi, her clones were far more mischievous. Their constant antics had become a familiar sight. The only one truly bothered by them was Kurumi herself, especially when certain clones would undermine her.

After being backstabbed by her own doppelgangers one too many times, she had finally reached her breaking point, which had led to last night's… activities.

As happy as I was about her affection, I still had to wake her up. Not just to make my escape, but because she had a promise to keep.

So, I decided to change my target—

The next moment, her heterochromatic eyes shot open. She glared at me, a mixture of shame and anger on her face, and sat up abruptly, not forgetting to give my side a vicious pinch. But the wave of drowsiness was still too strong, and she couldn't suppress a yawn.

'This guy is built like an ox,' she thought. 'He never seems to get tired. Doesn't he know how to be gentle?'

"Hey, Kyoya," she said, her voice a low grumble. "Can't you ever give it a rest!?"

"Well… you know as well as I do whether I need a rest or not," I replied, taking her soft hand in mine and lacing our fingers together, a teasing glint in my eyes.

Kurumi let out a soft "tch" and shot me a sidelong glance, her cheeks flushing a deep red that only made her delicate features seem more alluring.

Suddenly, she noticed the bright sunlight streaming into the room.

'Why is it so bright in here!?'

She looked up and saw the sun high in the sky. "Wh-What the hell…? Why is it morning already?"

She could have sworn she had only just fallen asleep.

I couldn't help but chuckle. I leaned in close and whispered in her ear, "Kurumi, do you really not remember what happened last night?"

'Tsk. My little girlfriend's stamina is surprisingly low. It's hard to believe this is the same Nightmare who's famous for being a ruthless killer.'

A mortified whimper sounded in my ear. Kurumi buried her face, which was now so red it looked like it was about to drip blood, in my chest, refusing to look at me.

'I-I actually passed out… right in the middle of it! Waaah… I can never show my face again!'
