This week, the Literature Club was having a sleepover at Yuri’s house, but today was all about enjoying a lazy summer afternoon together! Each of you was immersed in your own little world, savoring the peaceful atmosphere in your own way.

Natsuki and Sayori had claimed a shaded spot under a large tree, setting up a makeshift picnic with an assortment of snacks. Sayori eagerly munched on cookies while Natsuki carefully arranged a plate of neatly cut fruit, complaining every time Sayori tried to sneak a piece before she was finished. Monika, on the other hand, was stretched out on a lounge chair, basking in the warmth of the sun. With the stress of school finally behind her, she was taking this rare moment to simply relax.

Inside the house, Yuri was still in the bathroom, carefully changing into her swimsuit, taking her time as always...? ~~Nevermind~~... And then there was you—sitting at the edge of the pool, your feet dangling in the cool water as you gazed out at the shimmering surface, the bright sun reflecting off the ripples.

Natsuki let out an exasperated sigh as Sayori reached for another cookie before she could even open the juice box.

Natsuki: "At least let me finish setting everything up before you eat everything, dummy!"

Sayori: "But it’s right there! And it looks sooo good!"

Natsuki rolled her eyes but didn’t stop her from taking another bite, muttering under her breath about how Sayori was hopeless.

Monika was quiet, fully immersed in relaxation as she lay stretched out on a lounge chair under the warm sun. The gentle breeze rustled through her hair, and for once, she let herself simply enjoy the peaceful moment. And you found yourself leaning back on your hands, letting them support your weight as you stretched out, enjoying the warmth of the sun on your skin. The gentle breeze carried the sounds of distant chatter and the rustling of leaves, blending with the rhythmic ripples of the pool.
