sorry everyone that took way longer then i thought but here we are, due to some personal life stuff i will only be able to upload every other week sorry

”Reunion!”

──── Squish.

”Miss Fio, I'm so, so glad you're all right!”

The saint cries out in joy and presses her blossoming bosom against my face.

────Nice b.o.o.bs!

”...Sob. When your back went 'snap' like that, I was beside myself with worry! Oh, Miss Fio, I'm truly glad you're all right!”

Past noon at our hideout, I am reunited with my friends, who have finally arrived at the kingdom. Yuri, with her eyes swollen and red, embraces me tightly in a wonderfully salacious way.

────Long live b.o.o.bs!

”Hey, Root, look at Fio's face. She's completely immersed in her friend's t.i.ts, that filthy lolita.”

”...I wish she'd pay me back for all my worrying.”

I find comfort in the muttering voices of the men who respond jealously to the unexpected way this reunion has unfolded.

Swaying. Undulating. My face hidden between Yuri's milk jugs is filled with happiness. I never want to lose this sensation again.

”Hey, Yuri. No need to make Fio any happier than she already is. You can let her go now.”

”Oh, um, really?”

Unfortunately, as if to say, ”Happy Hour is over!”, Yuri abruptly pulls away from me. Deprived of that voluptuous sensation, I experience a loneliness describable as a void in my chest.

Ugh. Verdi, are you so hateful of my happiness?

”Verdi, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d, shut up with your unnecessary comments! ...For starters, you guys were supposed to be protecting me. Who leaves a healer unprotected? You're the vanguard, so do your job!”

”We had our hands full responding to the surprise attack. You're the one who got taken out with a single blow, you small fry slug. You couldn't even come crying to me.”

”What did you say?!”

”H-hey, it's not good to fight!”

”Oh, you can ignore them, Yuri. These two are always like this.”

It's been a while since I've seen Verdi, so I make sure to mess with him a bit. Yeah, this is the best kind of dynamic to maintain with the b.a.s.t.a.r.d.

”Well, Yuri, you seemed worried about me. Thanks.”

”Of course. ...You're my dear friend, Fio.”

”O-oh, yeah? Haha. You're making me blush.”

Yuri's warm smile has a healing effect on me. Honestly, the girl has a great personality. If only Alto weren't tangled up in all of this.

Even if she's part of the same harem, those like Rei-who are pretty much monsters like me-should really take a page out of Yuri's book.

”By the way, Yuri, not that I don't enjoy you hugging me like this, but don't you need to be with your beloved Alto?”

”Never mind that. You were the one I was worried about, Fio.”

”Yu-Yuri!”

Honestly, what a lovely girl! When you're a member of Alto's harem, it's no easy task to give preferential treatment to your wounded comrade over him.

If Alto had chosen Yuri out the four of them, he probably would have been much happier. Seriously.

...I'm sure it will cause Yuri a lot of emotional pain if she finds out what happened between the two of us. Yeah, let's hope he's secretly cheating on me with Yuri as well. He's pretty amoral that way, so it's highly likely.

As I pray for my lover to be cheating on me, the idiot next to me starts talking again.

”Hey, Fio, I've got something to tell you.”

”What is it, Verdi? Tell me.”

What does he have to say now of all times?

”I heard the four girls just played a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors. Only the winner was allowed to go be lovey-dovey with Alto. Yuri right there lost the last round and was beside herself with grief.”

”d.a.m.n it! Verdi, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d, thanks for the unsolicited information!”

Turning my gaze towards Alto, I see Rin alone embracing him while Rei and Mamiya observe them expressionlessly off in the distance.

What a picture.

”Yuri, but, you know, even if you did win the Rock-Paper-Scissors, you still would've come to me, right? Of course, after you'd been with Alto.”

”Why can't you look me in the eyes, Yuri?”

”...Miss Fio, I'm so glad you're all right!”

──── Squish.

Once again, the blissful sensation hits my face. Marshmallows, marshmallows...

”Yuri's ran off now.”

”Oh, but look at the sleazy expression on Fio's face. You really worked your way out of that one, Yuri.”

──── Oh ho!
