Noah remained sitting on the karaoke sofa, his body still warm and sweaty from the encounter with Saki. His mind was racing, thinking about what to do. Sana, for her part, with her usual overflowing energy, approached Saki with a playful smile, adjusting her skirt with some annoyance. She had expected to be next, but noticed the tension in the air: Noah with a "I'm screwed" expression, and the new girl murmuring to herself. And just like that, she lost the mood. A slight pang of guilt quickly passed through her eyes, but she dismissed it as she thought about how to prevent this from turning into a drama; after all, the spray had been her recklessness. Could she turn it into something fun? She thought that, in the end, something similar had worked with Airi. Somewhat doubtful, she fixed her gaze on the clothes thrown near the sofa: it was a high school uniform. Sana thought about taking advantage of that point; besides, from the girl's way of dressing and acting, she seemed easy to convince.
—"It seems a little difficult, but I'll try my best for Kuma-chan♡"—she whispered, giving herself mental encouragement—"I can make her join, like with Airi."
Soon she was in front of Saki. She sighed internally as she put on a kind smile and handed her some wet wipes.
—"Nee, what's your name?"—Sana said, sitting next to Saki, speaking in a friendly voice.
Saki, still naked and leaning against the sofa, blinked slowly, coming out of her post-orgasmic daze. Her flushed face and crooked glasses made her look quite erotic. Still confused, she responded in a murmur.
—"Um... I'm Saki."—Her voice was soft, almost a whisper, but she tried to sound casual, like the popular girls in her class.
Noticing Sana's hand, she shyly got up to take the wipes. Saki blinked, somewhat confused; she soon understood what they were for and, adjusting her glasses with trembling hands, began to clean the fluids that were trickling down while blushing. Seeing her like this made Sana feel even more guilty, though also a little excited. The girl with glasses looked very sweet. This, added to the huge sexual attractiveness hidden under her ordinary appearance, exploded into a Gap Moe that excited Sana. She wanted to keep seeing this girl's face melt in pleasure under Noah's hands. And maybe join in... She had to find a way to get her to join, just like what happened with Airi. With renewed motivation, she began to think.
Unaware of this, Saki continued talking.
—"I... I don't know exactly what happened. I've never... never done anything like this before. Are we... boyfriend and girlfriend now?"—She said looking at Noah, with a blush covering her neck. In her mind, sex = relationship was the norm. As someone with no prior dating experience, her knowledge was based on some manga or a distant conversation from classmates.
Sana smiled inwardly; Saki herself had given the perfect excuse.
—"Oh, umm, I'm Sana, and this big guy is Kuma-chan. Oops, I mean, Noah..."—She was a little excited, so the words came out somewhat confused—"And... yes, you're his girlfriend now, we're all his girlfriends, you know? But let's leave that aside. It looks like you enjoyed it, hehehe, when he does it with me..."
Saki's strange look made her stop.
—"Um... you too?"—asked the girl with glasses, confused.
Sana reacted; she understood she had screwed up. Should she have said she was just Noah's friend? But how would she join in for sex if she lied? Although now that she thought about it, it wasn't a lie. She wasn't Noah's girlfriend; if she had to put a name to their relationship, were they "friends with benefits"? Still perplexed, she tried to fix it.
—"S... yes, like lions, you know. When the male and..."
Saki listened to her strange reasoning, not understanding how popular people thought. She decided not to object. She had felt very good, and with her appearance, the chances of an opportunity like this presenting itself again were slim. If Sana or Noah had heard her thoughts, they would have objected. Saki was beautiful; she just didn't know how to dress up or socialize.
Noah watched the girls talk without intervening. He was somewhat amazed at Sana's ease in approaching and gaining her trust so quickly. When he heard about being both's "boyfriend," he frowned slightly. He really didn't want to be tied down in a relationship, but thinking about potential problems and that he was technically still sleeping with Sana, he decided to tacitly accept the situation.
—"Do I have to talk to Airi?"—he thought, somewhat worried. As for Shiori... He preferred to leave her as an acquaintance he could sleep with if she asked.
—"A relationship with that crazy woman, no thanks."—Although Shiori had been behaving a little better lately, Noah didn't forget how annoying she had been with him.

Minutes later, the three were sitting at a table in a crowded fast-food restaurant, with some hamburgers and fries in front of them. The place was noisy, full of people, families, teenagers laughing. Noah watched the surroundings with a certain paranoia, although technically there was no reason to; his conscience compelled him to think he had done something wrong. Saki, now dressed but with her skirt still wrinkled, bit into her hamburger with trembling hands. She tried to act normal, smiling awkwardly as Sana talked. She was confused—the slight itch between her legs reminded her of what had just happened—but Sana's attention and Noah's imposing presence made her feel... included. For the first time.
Noah turned to her and watched her in silence. The more time he spent with her, he recognized certain patterns: that obvious fake smile to fit in, the hidden nervousness, the way she tried to imitate Sana. He had seen this before. He remembered his past in the gang; girls like her were brought in by "friends" or boyfriends. The vast majority ended up badly; it was obvious from not having enough understanding that they were with the wrong people. They were eventually manipulated by some guy and ended up broken, addicted, or worse.
The guilt dissipated. It was ironic, but it was likely that by fucking her in the karaoke, he had, in a way, steered her away from something much worse. This, of course, didn't justify it, but it was enough to calm Noah.
—"At least I won't hurt her... or so I hope"—he murmured, somewhat unsure.
Saki, who was eating, didn't notice a bit of ketchup on her cheek. Noah just leaned in, wiping her face with a napkin. She froze for a few seconds, blushing.
—"Um... thank you"—she stammered, embarrassed.
Noah just shrugged, letting her and Sana continue their conversation. The more he observed her, the more convinced he became. She looked too innocent; she was the perfect prey for many "bad boys." If someone didn't guide her, she would end up very badly. He could only shake his head with some fatigue. It seemed all this would be quite problematic. Even so, he could only move forward; although he got involved with Saki by accident, what's done is done, and now he couldn't abandon her. With a sigh, he wondered if he was getting soft. He thought about it for a moment before denying it. If Saki hadn't been beautiful, he probably would have left her aside after solving the spray problem...
The voices of Sana and Saki snapped him out of his musings.
—"Alright! Kuma-chan! Time for us to go. Saki-chan is a bit uncomfortable. Let's find a place to wash off the sweat"—Sana exclaimed with an excited voice.
Noah grimaced; he knew what that girl wanted. It was obvious she planned to take them to some love hotel. He had no problem with it; after all, it was something they had planned for this date. His eyes landed on the nervous Saki before he sighed; even so, he didn't protest. Maybe this was necessary; after all, she would eventually have to join Sana and Airi. Noah was already used to sleeping with them; the dynamic wasn't going to change with Saki's addition. Even so, as they walked down the street, Noah wondered if Sana was a good influence for someone like Saki.
—"What difference does it make? If something happens, I'll take care of it for now"—he whispered, watching the girls walk ahead, hugging.
