Hachiman's POV
Hachiman: "Phew… What's with the serious faces, guys?"
Air Groove: "Hachiman, we forgot something important. It's bold of us to impose, but… are there enough sleeping spots?"
Hachiman: "…Yeah, I don't have enough rooms. One guest room bed, two spare futons—that's not enough."
Fuji: "Four spots… But if we share, it could work, right?"
Hachiman: "If you're all okay with that, sure. But you wouldn't want to, right?"
Ardan: "? Why not?"
Rice: "Rice doesn't mind at all!"
Hachiman: "No, I mean… You'd hate sleeping in my bed, right?"
Teenage girls in a grown man's bed? No way they'd—"I wanna sleep there!" …Huh?
CB: "I wanna sleep in Hachiman's bed!" sparkle
Air Groove: "Is that all? I don't mind either, if it's your bed."
Fuji: "Yeah, I'm fine too (I already slept there once, though). Yup, no problem///"
Rice: "Fuji-san, your face is red?"
Fuji: "N-Nothing!"
Air Groove: "Fuji, you know what's up, don't you?"
Fuji: "O-Of course!"
Rice: "? I don't get it, but if it's Onii-sama's bed… um, I'd sleep better than usual, I think." fidget
Ardan: "Anii-sama, as you can see, no one objects. Rest assured."
…Okay, I'm a bit relieved, but I'm also kinda freaked out that they're eager to sleep in their trainer's bed.
Komachi: "Onii-chan's Uma Musume are all so nice! Komachi's thrilled~ sob"
Hachiman: "Can't deny they're good girls. Komachi, you take the guest room. For the rest…"
Komachi: "Oh! I wanna sleep with Rice-chan~ Komachi!"
Rice: "Eek? W-With Rice?"
Komachi: "Your name's Rice, and mine's Komachi—rice-related, right? Feels like we're connected~ Is that okay?"
Rice: "N-No, if Rice is fine!"
Komachi: "Thanks, Rice-chan♪"
Alright, Komachi's (strategy?) secured Rice. Four left. Now what…
CB: "Honest question—who's stayed over at Hachiman's place?"
Air Groove: "Once, before last year's Arima Kinen."
Fuji: "Me too, just once."
Ardan: "Same."
CB: "What, all of you!? So it's just me and Rice who haven't? Unfair! I'm taking Hachiman's bed!!"
Air Groove: "Hold on! We should decide fairly!"
CB: "…Like how?"
Hachiman: "Tch, made an amidakuji already."
Ardan: "As expected of Anii-sama, choosing a lottery over janken…"
Hachiman: "Just didn't want you shouting and bothering the neighbors. Pick your spots."
Air Groove: "…No complaints this way. I'll take this one."
CB: "I'm taking the edge!"
Fuji: "Ardan, go ahead."
Ardan: "Then I'll take this."
Fuji: "I'll go with this one."
Hachiman: "Results time. Starting with A."

Hachiman: "There you go. CB gets my room, Ardan and Air Groove get futons, Fuji gets the sofa bed."
CB: "Yes… Hachiman, I won."
Hachiman: "What's with the emotion? Alright, congrats. Beds are settled, so let's chill."
Komachi: "Here, Onii-chan!"
Hachiman: "Huh? A MAXCAN coffee?"
Komachi: "Yup, bought it♪"
My sister Komachi, always thoughtful. Been ages since I had a MAXCAN after a bath—usually water or chocolate milk. Let's savor it.
Hachiman: "…Pfft!!?"
Rice: "Eek!? O-Onii-sama?"
Air Groove: "What's wrong? Something go down the wrong pipe?"
Komachi: "Pfft… Hehe…" trembling
Hachiman: "…Komachi, what's this nasty coffee? Is this even coffee?"
Komachi: "Yup, coffee♪ Super famous for being gross! Total success♪"
Hachiman: "…No pudding after breakfast tomorrow!"
Komachi: "Sorry, Onii-sama!!"
Hachiman: "Don't mimic Rice without her permission!!"
Damn you, little gremlin… How do they even make coffee this bad?
Hours Later
CB: "Time to sleep~ I'm off to enjoy pure bliss♪"
Air Groove: "…Her smug smile is kinda annoying this time."
Ardan: "But it's decided. Let's yield. Next time's mine."
Air Groove: "No, mine."
Komachi: "Let's go, Rice-chan!"
Rice: "Y-Yes!"
Hachiman: "Fuji, wait a sec."
Adjust here, and… done.
Fuji: "Wow, it turns into a bed like that."
Hachiman: "Might be comfier than my bed. Got blankets, so you're set."
Fuji: "Thanks… Wait, where are you sleeping?"
Hachiman: "On the floor, in a sleeping bag."
Fuji: "No way! You'll hurt yourself. That's not okay!"
Hachiman: "There's no other spot."
Fuji: "Then sleep with me!"
Hachiman: "What? That's worse."
Fuji: "I don't mind!"
Hachiman: "You should mind!"
Fuji grabbed my arm, and somehow, I ended up on the sofa bed.
Fuji: "Hehe, this is our third time sleeping together."
Hachiman: "…Yeah, first was at camp in the hammock. Didn't expect that. Then the first time you stayed here."
Fuji: "Can we forget that one?///"
Yeah, that was an accident.
Hachiman: "Anyway, we're taking it easy tomorrow. Light stuff if anything."
Fuji: "Got it."
