A Strange Sense of Distance Between Katou-san and Yuri-chan

p2
>S-Sorry, Tamura-san.
>For showing you something so weird.
>Thanks for the towel.
>No... It's fine.

>This is awkward...
>If Tomoko were here at a time like this...

>Your underwear was amazing, Katou-san.
>I'm sure Tomoko would like that kind of... um... lewd underwear.

>Ah... Um...
>Thank you.

>Ah... I think I messed up.

p3
>Yuri-chan, I hear you got a look at Katou-san's naked body yesterday?

>Hehehe... How was it?
>>Pleased to get two sexual harassments with one stone
>>Happy to be sexually harassed
>Geez, Kuroki-san.

>...
>...It was really pretty.

>Yuri-chan?! Details!
>I need more details!!
>Me too, Tamura-san!! I want to hear it too!!

p4
>H-Hey, Asuka...
>What is it, Tomo-chan?
>She smells as great as ever.

>Tamura-san.

>Moustache.

>...
>...

p5
>...Erm.
>Katou-san.
>What are you doing?

>I wasn't any good, Tomo-chan...
>Not at all, Asuka. That was perfect.
>What a cutie.
>?

p6
>Yuri-chan? Why are you pinching your arm?

>You're really sweating. You okay?
>Isn't your breath getting kinda rough?

>I know. You can be honest with me.
>That hit a sweet spot, didn't it!?

>OW!!!

p7
>Gwaaaaah
>Um... Tamura-san.

>Was that not funny after all?

>No... um...

>I didn't hate it.

>Alright. I'm gonna make this my trademark gag!
>No, that's a bit...
>You should quit while you're ahead.

p8
>Your hands are all cold, Kuroki-san~
>Hehehe

>...

>That's not fair, Katou-san.

>Hey, what are you saying?
>Ah... I'm sorry, Tamura-san.
>I was hogging Kuroki-san all to my-...

p9
>Your hands are really sweaty, Katou-san.

>Yuri-chan?! You're scaring Katou-san!

>I mean, you were hogging her to yourself, Tomoko...
>No, no. That's now what your character is, it it!?
>...

p10
>How she's small and cute.
>How she's surprisingly daring.
>How she'll suddenly do weird things...
>and how she won't ignore people in trouble.

>Eh? What's happening here?

p11
>That sure was a lot of rain, huh?
>Yeah...

>It's good thing we found this place nearby.
>I guess so... but still.

>To think they'd let two girls check in
>to a love hotel.
>Well, the reception was unmanned, after all.

>I wanted to get to Tomoko's house before the typhoon hit,
>but it started pouring down the moment I bumped into Katou-san...
>Well, I do have a change of underwear at least...
>And so does Katou-san for some reason...

p12
>Tamura-san. The bath is huge.
>I-Is that so...

>Wanna get in together?
>Like hell I do.

>Oh really? Sorry.
>It's nothing...
>...Could you take yours first?

>Sure.
>She's acting a lot like Tomoko...

>The heavy rain will last through the night until the morning.
>A warning has been issued to the whole Kantou area...

>Looks like we won't be going home tonight...
>Yeah...

p13
>...This is a huge bed, huh?
>Yeah...
>But it might be a bit stiff...?
>I guess so...
>...

>Tamura-san, it seems you can use the TV in this room to watch naughty stuff.
>Wanna watch it together?

>Katou-san,
>you don't have to force yourself to act like Tomoko.

>...So you could tell?
>I suppose.
>That's how the people I talk with tend to act.

>I'm guessing that you would've preferred it...
>if Kuroki-san brought you here instead of me...?

p14
>You're the one next to me right now, right, Katou-san?

>I'm not gonna compare you to Tomoko...
>I don't hate you or anything.

p15
>...Tamura-san. You've really changed the mood.

>...I might be kinda like Tomoko too.

>Shall we turn off the lights?
>Sure.

>Can't sleep, Katou-san?
>Same to you, Tamura-san.
>I guess you can't sleep when we're this close up, huh?
>I guess not.
>Then shall we talk about Kuroki-san until morning?
>...Sure.

p16
>...

>Tomoko...
>Hey.
>...and Katou-san?
>She's asleep...

>That committee meeting wrapped up fast, huh?
>Yeah. I didn't do anything, though...
>I wonder about that.

>Were you waiting all this time?
>Kinda, yeah.
>I did suggest that we go home so as to not bother you, but...

>Katou-san
>insisted that she
>wanted to spend time with you, Yuri-chan.

p17
>...
>>mumble
>..

>Maybe we should wake her up soon?
>It's fine.
>There's still time.
>Besides...

>I also...
>wanted to spend a little more time with Katou-san.
>Wanna sexually harass her!?
>You're saying stupid things again...

p18
>Tomoko and Katou-san have dropped the formalities with each other...
>but the three of us have been together more often.
>I'm kinda reluctant to do so, but...
>Maybe I should drop the formalities around Katrou-san as well...
>What was Katou-san's first name again...?

>Akane...?
>No...
>Asuka... was it?

>Um...
>Tamura-sa...
>Y-Yuri... chan
>Wha?!
>You called me?
>That surprised me...

>No.
>That surprised me...
>You got it wrong...
>Forget what I said, Katou-san... Pretend you didn't hear that.
>Aww...
