Part 1

(Ahh, you really can’t go wrong with checking online stores after a doujin convention.)¹

(Even if it gets sold out at the event, they’ll usually take restock requests² if you’re quick to ask.)

(But thank god I was able to get a copy of that popular new release.)

Uu-chan, you are back.

…By the looks of it you picked up some nice things this time as well.

Yeah. I was able to get both my favourite circle’s³ print collection⁴ and those new releases I bookmarked.

But my haul’s too big, I don’t know where to start reading from.

Indeed, it covers the entire floor.

However… are these books as cheap as they are thin? I worry for your wallet if you are buying this much on a regular basis—

Knock, knock, comin’ in~! Guys, I have a favour to ask!

Isotake.

Wha…

(Fuck… I need to hide these, quick!) *rushes away*

Woah, why’s Ushio poking out from under the bed? Is this a new sport, or something!?

Hm, oh, yes. It is a game that was conceived, right here in this room.

(M-Muu-chan, I’m glad you’re trying to help, but no way he’s gonna believe that…!)

Then, y’mean this might become a holy land for sports pilgrims one day? That’s hella lit!!

…Anyways, what was this about a favour?

Ah, right, right, my homework!

So y’know the stuff that’s due tomorrow~... I'm so lost. Like, genuinely, the only thing I’m confident about is my name.

So please!! Teach your bestie-buddy-friend-pal under the same roof how to do it!! Or at least let me copy!!

*approaches Ushio* Anything for a friend in need, right!? Please!?

Gah, dyon… don’t look this way!

Hmm? Did you try to hide something just now? Like a book?

…I’m just cleaning under the bed.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm? Cleaning?

Something under a bed… a sussy book…

AHHH!!!! D-Don’t tell me, y-you have one of those!? How could you bring something so raunchy here…!

(Ugh, I can’t even deny him…)

And it’s not just one either…! Ushio, you pervert… And you read those with Muneuji everyday?

…L-Let me…

OI, STOP, DON’T YOU DARE TAKE ANOTHER STEP! IT’S DEFINITELY NOT WHAT YOU’RE IMAGINING…

More importantly, what about your homework? The day is almost over.

Ah! You’re right! Almost lost to my inner demons just now…

…Try taking a page out of Muu-chan’s book while you’re at it.

That might be a bit difficult… but I can help you with homework as long as I understand it. We can work in the living room, so bring your things over.

For real!? You’re a G, Muneuji, sir! Lord! God! Maybe the real homework was the friends we made along the way!

Then let us get going. Uu-chan, good luck with organizing.

…*sigh*.

…Living in the dorms is hard.
