Since Natsuki was awake, there was naturally no need for Bokue Keikain to continue "covering."
After spending a bit more time in the break room, seeing the time was about right, Bokue left directly.
❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁
Scene shift—Asagi Aiba's home.
When Bokue appeared, a certain blonde girl in the familiar bedroom was lying on the bed in fuzzy loungewear, staring at her phone. The air carried the pleasant scent of her perfume.
Though "looking at her phone" was really just staring blankly at the unchanging screen.
More precisely, staring at the time in the upper right corner.
"Four fifty-nine and fifty-six seconds..."
Asagi mumbled into the blanket like a speaking clock.
As her words fell, she tossed the phone aside and rolled half a turn on the bed, facing the youth who'd just appeared by the window. She stretched out her arms in a "hug me" gesture, squinting as she complained:
"Really now, you said you'd come early, but you were four seconds away from being late!"
"But I wasn't late, was I?"
Bokue kicked off his shoes and lay on the bed too, pulling the blonde girl's soft body into a tight embrace.
"Besides, at least I was just covering temporarily. If this were a real daily job, could I really leave early and come home?"
"...So should I say thank goodness you don't have to work?"
Asagi huffed indignantly.
"By the way, do you have to go tomorrow too?"
"Probably not tomorrow."
Though he couldn't think of any reason he'd need to cover tomorrow, Bokue still thought about it before giving a negative answer.
Asagi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Perfect, I don't need to go to Keystone Gate tomorrow either. We can finally have a rare day of just lazing around at home together."
"I thought you were going to say a day of rolling in the hay." Bokue teased.
"..."
Asagi didn't get the joke at first, only realizing after saying it out loud. She pushed against his chest with a red face.
"Really, all you think about is that stuff..."
"What else should I think about? How about what to have for dinner?"
Bokue rolled over on the bed with the blonde girl in his arms, switching from top-bottom facing to side-by-side.
"How about that barbecue place from last time, just the two of us?"
"No way, we've been there twice this week already. Let's try somewhere else today..."
As Asagi spoke, she leaned up to peck his lips lightly.
"Haven't decided which restaurant yet. We'll know when we walk around and look."
"So we're leaving now?"
Bokue glanced at the wall clock.
"It's already past five. If we leave any later, by the time we find a suitable place, order, and get our first bite, it'll probably be past seven."
"Hmm~"
Thinking he had a point, the blonde girl hummed softly and patted his arms around her waist.
"Alright, let's go now."
Just as Asagi finished speaking—
Meanwhile, at Itogami Island's "customs" connecting to the Demon Realm, a voluptuous pale-golden figure emerged with the crowd in the waiting hall, looking around with a troubled voice:
"Hmm~ Though I finally made it to the human world, where should I look for Bokue-kun next? I guess I should try locating him by his aura first. I heard Itogami Island isn't too far from mainland Japan... Hmm... Oh? Found him, and he seems close by, right... right here on Itogami Island?"
❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁
The brief evening passed quickly. When Bokue and Asagi finished dinner and left the city center, it was already eight o'clock.
For Asagi, this was her first proper dinner alone with Bokue all week.
After all, they'd been interrupted by three middle school girls, then Bokue's "stranded on a desert island" incident with a certain War Dancer, followed by Yuuma Tokoyogi suddenly appearing to cause trouble.
Really, she'd been severely lacking in boyfriend energy all week.
"Only eight o'clock, going back so early?"
Walking along the road back to the apartment, Bokue checked his phone's time and looked back at the still-bright city center.
"Not planning to shop or see a movie?"
"No way, there's nothing worth shopping for."
Asagi shook her head firmly.
"Who actually goes to physical stores to browse anymore? Just order online. As for movies... all predictable trash. Better to skip them and go home early to..."
"Roll in the hay?"
Bokue coldly added the last two words.
This time Asagi caught on immediately, though her cheeks still reddened slightly as she lightly punched his chest.
"...Go away."
Of course, she didn't deny it either.
Naturally, it was a joyful night.
❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁
When night passed and daylight once again descended on Itogami Island, completely dispelling the remnants of dusk, Asagi finally groggily woke in her bedroom.
"Mmm..."
Her thoughts still muddled, through blurry vision the blonde girl could vaguely make out the wall clock's hour hand had passed nine.
So it was almost ten already...
Asagi closed her eyes again, thinking lazily.
But that couldn't be helped. Since getting home at eight last night, she'd thrown herself into high-intensity aerobic exercise.
Though it was usually like this, Bokue had been particularly wicked last night—not only pounding into her relentlessly but constantly using spiritual energy to restore her stamina.
In the end, physical energy wasn't the problem, but her mind simply couldn't take it anymore.
She'd literally been pleasured into unconsciousness.
"Bad guy... getting worse and worse..."
Mumbling what sounded more like acting spoiled than complaining, Asagi rolled over to embrace the youth still lying beside her.
She did manage to hug him.
But somehow, when Asagi wrapped her arms around Bokue's neck following muscle memory, she was shocked to discover another pair of slender arms had already claimed that spot.
Wait, another pair of arms?
As if realizing something outrageous was happening right beside her, Asagi threw off the covers and sat up, instantly wide awake.
When she looked past Bokue to the other side, there on her bedroom's large bed was another beautiful, fair-skinned, big-breasted blonde girl tightly embracing her boyfriend, sleeping soundly.
