Inside Nanami’s room…

Nanami is asleep on her bed when she suddenly feels someone fondling her front from the back.

Opening her eyes and checking skin texture of these mischievous hands, Nanami knows that they do not belong to the other girls who like to sneak into her room.

This was not the same time Shang did this. Back in Katanagatari World, he only does the same thing to Nanami whenever he is upset.

Nanami: Welcome back…

Knowing Shang’s current mood, Nanami closes her eyes and let him do whatever he wants.

Shang: Hmm…

Nanami: How was the trip?

Shang: Depressing.

Nanami: Any new sisters?

Shang: None.

Nanami: That’s a surprise. What stopped you?

Shang: ...Fate.

Shang starts to pull Nanami closer to him from the back.

Nanami:...Not today, I’m on period.

Nanami replies with a red face.

Shang: Oh, okay.

Shang stops his actions and simply hugs Nanami.

Shang: Is it okay If I just want to stay like this?

Nanami:...Yes

Outside Nanami’s room…

Qingyang is eavesdropping on the door while Shui Sheng and Nanqing are standing behind her.

Nanqing: Are they doing “that”?

Nanqing asked with a red face.

Qingyang: No, I don’t hear any sound coming from them.

Shui Sheng: Your hearing is bad. Let me take over.

Qingyang:...My hearing is not bad. You forget that I am a divine doctor (Shen Yi) and I can hear your heartbeat from here.

Shui Sheng: This is unfair, you know. Nanami is the only one that Shang look for comfort.

Nanqing: Unfair? I should be speaking of unfairness. You stole a deep kiss from him the other night. Do not think I didn’t see that!

Shui Sheng looks away with a red face, hearing that someone saw the kissing scene between Shang and her.

Shui Sheng: I… I… don’t know what are you talking… You should be saying about Qingyang instead. She sneaks into Shang’s room the other night and comes out with a blissful look on her face in the next morning.

Nanqing: Is that true? Qingyang?

Nanqing looks at Qingyang with disbelief.

Qingyang: Huh, What are you saying?

Qingyang gives the blur expression and pretends she does not know what Shui Sheng is talking about.

Shui Sheng: I got proof.

Shui Sheng takes out a jade stone.

Qingyang: No way, you record that!?

Nanqing: Qingyang! How can you betray me! I trusted you!

Nanqing grabs Qingyang from the back and grips her collarbones tightly.

Qingyang: Ouch Ouch, I am sorry, Sister… I cannot help it….

Nanqing: I only got a hug! A hug!

Nanqing grips more tightly.

????: Seriously, can you girls act a bit more mature?

A female voice is heard when the door to Nanami’s room is open. A girl with long black hair and neatly tidied Hanfu comes out

Three Girls: Sister Qishi..

Nanami: Be quiet, Shang needs to rest.

Nanami says while closing the door softly.

Nanqin: So how is it?

Nanami: How is what?

Qingyang: “That”.

Nanami: That?

Shui Sheng: We mean..."that"

Shui Sheng shows a hand posture.

It is not hard to figure out what the girls mean after Shui Sheng shows an example.

Nanami immediately gives them an annoyed expression.

Nanami: Do you three have nothing better to do? Get back to your duties now!

Nanami says with a strict voice.

Three Girls: Yes, Elder Sister!

The three girls runs off to the stairs.

After making sure they are gone, Nanami touches the part which Shang had fondled.

Nanami’s thoughts: Stupid Shang, Can’t you be gentle?
