"So...?" Marc grumbled as he shoved his shovel into the ground, asking his question and expecting Jeff to understand what he meant with just a single phrase—much less a single word.

"So...?" Jeff answered with a similar question, pretending not to comprehend what Marc was talking about as he shoved his own shovel into the ground and put the dirt in the bucket between him and Marc.

"Explain it now, or me and my girls are walking out of here," Kris added, stabbing his shovel into the ground as he grew annoyed by the back-and-forth between Marc and Jeff.

"Isn't it obvious? It's a bit early from the usual date, but we're doing the annual tree-planting event."

—"Then why are we digging a freaking large and deep hole?!"—

"It's for the compost pit, idiots!"

As to why Jeff, Kris, and Marc—together with all the first-year college students from their high school alma mater who are part of their college organization—were doing a tree-planting event at one of the forest nature preserves in Capital City, going back a day before would explain their current situation.

After fainting in pleasure from the stimulation of being penetrated by Jeff's entire 9-inch-plus rod, Nubia woke up early in the morning—before dawn—and found herself being cuddled by Jeff as they lay on the sofa.

A mix of emotions swirled within her the instant her awareness returned: overwhelming joy from seeing Jeff first thing in the morning; satisfaction from the lingering pleasure of their intimacy; a sense of accomplishment from finally taking Jeff's entire length with her mouth and throat; annoyance that he didn't listen and still put his entire massive rod inside her when she wasn't ready yet; excitement and arousal from anticipating taking it again; and fear that Veena might wake up soon and see the two of them completely naked.

"Wake up already, you stupid Jeff," she grumbled, slipping out of his embrace and rushing to grab the towel on the floor, covering herself with it as she tried to go to the bathroom where her clothes were—only to be caught by Jeff again as he grabbed her slender waist and gently pulled her back to sit on his lap.

She was about to ask what he was doing, but that answer was obvious with his lips kissing her nape, his hands fondling her large soft breasts, and his throbbing morning wood pressing against the back of her waist.

"I know you want more of me, but it's already morning. Veena will wake up soon—Ahh~!"

"Can you please help me calm down?"

With Jeff whispering in such a pleading tone, there was no way Nubia could deny his request—not with how caring and kind she was, especially with how she tended to favor Jeff.

"Fine… but let's do this in the shower, okay?"

"I love—"

Before Jeff could complete his words, wanting to call her name without honorifics to express his affection, Nubia looked over her shoulder and promptly took the words right out of his lips with a kiss.

After satisfying each other in the shower, Jeff began preparing their breakfast. And as he expected, while the three of them ate together at the table, both Nubia and Veena were acting awkward around each other—just like last night, but for completely different reasons:

Veena, unable to hide her flustered expression, basically hinted to Nubia that she had indeed overheard and seen their intimacy.

Regardless of their awkward first interaction, right before Nubia left for class, she endured her embarrassment to show concern for Veena.

"If you have any trouble at college, or if Jeff does anything stupid, you can tell me, Veena," she said, giving her a faint yet warm smile.

As Jeff expected, Nubia's kindness easily swayed Veena's dependent tendencies.

From awkwardly standing beside Jeff, Veena suddenly lunged at Nubia, hugging her just as she was turning to step outside through the open door.

Even though the only thing she knew about Nubia was that she was part of Jeff's harem, that was already enough reason for her to trust Nubia as much as she trusted Jeff—and to forget her awkwardness as she smiled cheerfully.

Once again, as Jeff expected, Veena's cheerfulness easily swayed Nubia's caring heart.

"Can I ask a favor, Nubia-senpai…?" Veena murmured, clinging to her like a child.

"Just ask me anything," Nubia said, gently patting her head.

"If I can't stay with Jeff-senpai… can I live with you instead?"

That's how clingy and needy she was, Jeff thought, watching Nubia's confused and troubled expression as if silently asking him what to do.

"Can't I?" Veena mumbled, looking as if she were already about to cry.

And with that, there was simply no way Nubia could say no.

"You can stay with me if that's what you want."

"Mhm!... Thank you, Nubia-senpai!"

"Can I ask a favor as well, Nubia-senpai?" Jeff said, interrupting their touching moment.

"Haven't I already given you enough favors since last night, Jeff?"

Despite her retort, Nubia still let Jeff speak his request and agreed to grant it as long as it didn't involve intimacy.

"It wasn't, but won't you really grant it if it's about another night—"

"Stop teasing me and just say it already, Jeff," Nubia muttered, shifting back to her dominant demeanor.

"It's about the annual tree-planting event for our organization. How about doing it a little earlier than scheduled?"

---

Back to Jeff, Kris, and Marc at the tree-planting event…

—"That doesn't explain anything!"—

Kris and Marc retorted right after Jeff finished his flashback without explaining anything about the tree-planting event their organization was hosting.

They knew they had asked for stories about Jeff's harem conquests, but right now they were more interested in why the three of them were digging a massive pit.

It wasn't that Jeff couldn't or didn't want to tell them—but rather, he didn't know how. After all, it involved Kris and Marc, especially their girlfriends.

All he could say was:

"Just move your shovels and keep digging."

While taking a break from digging the 12-by-12-foot, 6-foot-deep pit for the compost, sitting on a picnic blanket under the shade and watching Veena join Kris and Marc's girlfriends for dance practice, Jeff asked about their investment.

"How's everything going with the idol group?" Jeff said, gulping down his cold soft drink.

"They're doing well with the singing instructor Ms. Lena introduced," Kris said after taking a drink.

"And Olivia-senpai is handling their dance lessons," Marc added, opening another set of bottles for them.

The PoruMerc women's division idol group that Kris and Marc were managing included Kris's three girlfriends and four of Marc's.

They were Veena's friends and of the same year as her. In fact, they even invited her—but Veena refused because she didn't want to lessen her time with Jeff, and with Nubia as well.

Kris and Marc explained the idol group's planned debut, but Jeff was already focused on something else after hearing a certain detail—or specifically, a certain name.

"About Olivia-senpai…" Jeff mumbled, unsure whether he should ask.

Jeff had heard the news that Olivia was being transferred from the PoruMerc women's gym in Central City to the Capital City branch, but he didn't know she was the dance instructor for the idol group.

There was nothing concerning about it, but what Jeff was curious about was—

"What about her?" Kris answered for Marc, who had gone completely silent and was avoiding Jeff's gaze.

Jeff sighed heavily before finally asking his real question.

"You two still doing three—"

But before he could finish asking, Kris and Marc jumped on him, pinning him to the ground and covering his mouth.

"Don't even mention that word..."

"What if they overhear you, idiot..."

Just as Jeff suspected—and seeing them panicking and lowering their voices—Kris and Marc were indeed keeping their threesome a secret from their girlfriends, and they were probably still doing it with Olivia.

As Kris and Marc explained once they let go of Jeff: although Olivia wasn't blackmailing them by threatening to tell their girlfriends what happened, she kept asking for more in exchange for being the idol group's dance instructor.

Olivia's demands even escalated into wanting a foursome—adding Jeff. But Kris and Marc held their ground, refusing to drag Jeff into it.

It wasn't like Kris and Marc couldn't find another dance instructor. All they needed to do was ask Lena—Nubia's assistant.

Getting found out by their girlfriends wouldn't break their relationships, but it would cause trouble for the idol group.

"So don't you dare blackmail us about it, bastard," Marc said, doubting Jeff even though they were friends—or rather, because they were friends.

"Besides, we aren't at fault for what happened. Olivia was the one who got us drunk back then," Kris added, insisting they were innocent.

Jeff understood their point, however—

"Don't act like you two were the victims!"

"We are the victims!"

"We were drunk when that happened!"

"You were drunk when it started—not when you continued the next morning!"
