Mash-Up: Anything for Money

Hiss~

Hakuto frowned. He hadn't even brought Otosaka Yuu back yet, and he couldn't be sealed here.

Seeing that all the other girls were going all out, Yotsuba also decided to make her move!

"Mr. Shiratori! Mr. Shiratori! Can I sleep with you tonight?"

Before Hakuto could respond, the others couldn't sit still any longer.

"Yotsuba! What are you saying?"

"Huh? Sleep together? I'm Mr. Shiratori's girlfriend, can't we sleep together?"

Nino immediately grabbed Yotsuba's headband.

"Yotsuba... are you trying to start a war?"

"If I were to say, sharing a blanket together would be fine!"

"Forget it, forget it, you go ahead and fight. I'll just take a bath with Mr. Shiratori, no need to compete with you guys."

"Actually... I don't mind Ichika's suggestion…"

"If not, Mr. Shiratori can also draw…"

Hakuto was stunned. He felt like he was in deep trouble…

Is this really how it's going? 

Am I actually having multiple wives now?! 

This is totally flipping the cards!

Thinking back to when... forget it, I don't want to think about it, it's meaningless.

In the end, after a heated argument between the five, they actually pulled out five cards for Hakuto to flip.

Ichika held five cards from a Three Kingdoms strategy game, with the backs facing Hakuto, and spoke.

"God Zhao Yun is Miku, Liu Yan is Yotsuba, Jiang Xu Sheng is Itsuki, God Guo Jia is Nino, and Xī Zhìcái is me!"

"Come on, Shiratori, choose the one you want…"

Hakuto frowned, feeling something was off.

Also, what does "choose" mean? You're facing me with the backs showing, how can I choose?

Hakuto looked at the five cards in Ichika's hand, one of which was clearly higher than the others.

And with Ichika's eager expression, if it wasn't Xī Zhìcái, Hakuto would take it!

However, Ichika's little trick was clearly not missed by the others.

"Ichika! Put the cards on the table, let Shiratori choose himself!"

"Huh? I'm holding the same cards."

"Who believes you?"

And so, Nino once again shuffled the cards and laid them out on the coffee table.

"Mr. Shiratori can't cheat with his abilities, okay? But if you do cheat, you'd better choose Liu Yan's card!"

"Yotsuba, if you talk again, be careful that I'll pick the Snake Spear from the deck and rip it apart!"

Hakuto frowned. What is all this about?!

He had thought that after starting his harem, he wouldn't have enough time, but he didn't expect it to become this hectic so soon!

Looking at the cards on the table, Hakuto didn't have any special abilities, but his brain instinctively guessed the order of the five cards.

From left to right, it was Miku, Nino, Itsuki, Ichika, and Yotsuba...

It couldn't be helped—his enhanced observation was just this sharp...

But that meant it was no longer a random choice! Wait... I actually picked one?!

Hakuto shook his head, feeling like he was caught up in some kind of mess, getting sidetracked!

In this situation, Hakuto couldn't help but say one thing.

My turn! Draw a card!! And I summon!

If given the choice, Hakuto would rather return home and choose Nao.

After all, when choosing from five, things like this...

After some hesitation, Hakuto slowly stood up, patted his clothes, grabbed all five cards on the table, placed them in his pocket, and then turned around and went upstairs.

Seeing Hakuto's actions, Yotsuba was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said.

"Mr. Shiratori, what are you doing? You can only choose one!"

"Are we really going to share a blanket together? I need to get ready then."

"No one chose? Or did everyone choose?"

"I don't care, Shiratori took God Guo Jia, so that means he chose me!"

"Whose room can fit six people?"

"Make a sleeping mat on the floor."

"Are we really going to share a blanket?"

"That's why my suggestion is the most correct!"

"Just kidding..." Itsuki frowned. 

She wasn't against this kind of thing, but this was the first time it had happened. It was too informal...

Wait? Wasn't this about sleeping? Why am I thinking about other things?

Itsuki then realized they had been arguing about this!

Sigh... Itsuki sighed. Maybe I'll just stick with the chance to take a bath?

"This kind of situation I've only seen in novels... No wait! I haven't even seen this kind of plot in novels!"

Nino's eyes flicked around, and she cleared her throat, then said.

"I think I'll just sleep alone..." Nino pretended to act indifferent. "No one would actually accept sharing a blanket, right?"

"Sigh (゜ロ゜)? Actually, I feel okay with it…"

"Me too…"

"Don't look at me, I've always had this idea."

"I'm okay with it, after all, we've all slept together in one blanket before. Now there's just one more boyfriend…"

Nino froze. She didn't expect her four sisters to be so unified!

Originally, she planned to persuade everyone to get Hakuto's room empty, so she could sneak in and make her move on him!

But now...

Nino frowned. Even though they had united on this point, she still decided to argue some more.

"Do you really think it's just sleeping in one blanket?"

"Otherwise?" Ichika raised an eyebrow. "Do you think Nino's thinking about something else?"

"I... what was I thinking?" Nino hurriedly defended herself. "Forget it, forget it, I'll go get the blanket to make a sleeping mat."

"If Mr. Shiratori really wants to do that kind of thing, should we resist?"

"Then it's up to you, Itsuki, whether you want to or not" Ichika smiled. "There's plenty of time ahead, no need to rush."

"I want to sleep next to Mr. Shiratori!" Yotsuba raised her hand excitedly.

"Let's not talk about who sleeps where yet, Yotsuba, come help me move the sofa…"

"Huh? For this kind of thing, you should just ask Mr. Shiratori. He can use one hand to turn the sofa into a magic staff."

"Good point!"

Meanwhile, upstairs, Hakuto was leaning on the railing, already thinking about this kind of scene.

Sharing a blanket? If it's just six people sleeping together, that's not a big deal.

But if they really want to do that, it would be a little chaotic...

Hakuto really didn't have the guts to take on five girls, at least not now. He'd think about it later.

If it's just sleeping together, Hakuto felt he wouldn't do anything out of line.

The others probably wouldn't either... probably...

Later, with Hakuto's help, the five sisters quickly made the sleeping mats, and then one by one went to take a bath, change into their pajamas, and sat in a circle on the mats.

"Mr. Shiratori will definitely sleep in the middle, so there are two spots next to him…"

"I! Can I have one?"

"Rock-paper-scissors?"

"... Or maybe let Shiratori choose?"

"Do you really want him to die?"

Hakuto sat aside, watching the five sisters' actions, helplessly sighing.

Hakuto felt like he no longer belonged to himself, at least not now...

"Sigh! Nino, you were slow! This round doesn't count, restart!"

"Miku, just give me the spot, okay?"

"No…"

Hakuto missed home a little. Right now, there are only five of them. What would happen when there were seven, or even more, in the future?

"Question! Can I sleep on Mr. Shiratori's lap?"

"Yotsuba, I really need to give you a piece of my mind!"

Having five sisters was still good. At least even in a harem, they could get along harmoniously, since they were essentially a family.

If it were Ginko and Nao, forget sleeping together. They might even give each other an eye-roll when they meet.

Am I making a mistake by starting a harem in a normal world?

But thinking about it, it's not exactly normal. After all, Hakuto could turn a sofa into a magic staff.

If this were before, Hakuto wouldn't be flipping cards, he'd be holding an auction!

Looking at it this way, it seems Hakuto really has changed a lot.
