Chapter 56: A Little Mischief

“…I mean, it’s not like I was jealous or anything.”

“I know.”

Shirayuki, who had been tailing me and Hisui, joined us, and the three of us decided to spend time together.

Hisui went to the restroom, so it was just Shirayuki and me. But as soon as we were alone, she kept insisting that she wasn’t jealous at all.

It’s true that she probably wasn’t jealous, but I could tell that she was curious about how we would spend time together and that she was feeling a little lonely after all.

“I heard a lot from Hisui. I didn’t not notice that Shirayuki was feeling lonely, but I wished I had been a bit more perceptive.”

“T-That’s not necessary for you to apologize, Touma-kun! It’s true that I felt lonely, but…”

Shirayuki, who admitted it honestly, looked adorable, and I hugged her tightly without caring about the people around us.

She had already taken off her tacky sunglasses and mask, revealing her beauty for everyone to see, just like Hisui, and she was attracting a lot of attention.

Come to think of it, I had been running outside with her for exercise, but I had never come to a department store where people gathered from all over like this, so I guess I was getting more attention than usual.

“I’m back… Oh my! It looks like you two lovebirds were having a good time without me.”

“Welcome back, Hisui.”

“…Welcome back, Mom.”

So, Shirayuki-san, please don’t make that displeased voice.

Now, with my precious girlfriends gathered here… this is, in a way, the beginning of a trial for me.

Shirayuki, who tightly clung to my arm, aside from that, Hisui conversing with me as if we were close… I attracted various looks, being accompanied by such dazzling beauties.

“…It’s like being on a bed of needles.”

“Well, isn’t it nice? Let’s show them off.”

“That’s right. Let’s act confidently, as if we were kings.”

In other words, is Hisui also demanding to be held like Shirayuki?

I can understand, but while Shirayuki and Hisui are mother and daughter, no one around us would ever think that these two are related. No matter how perceptive someone is, they would almost certainly assume they are sisters.

“Let’s give it a try.”

“Huh!?”

With that said, as if to prove something, Hisui embraced the arm that was free.

Being embraced by both of them from each side, I was experiencing the same sensation that I usually feel on the bed, happening right now.

Some people gave surprised looks, but most of them were undeniably filled with obvious envy.

“…Can I say something?”

“What is it?”

“What?”

“The stares around us are painful… It feels like there are holes being drilled into my body. But more than that, this sensation is overwhelmingly blissful.”

As I honestly expressed my thoughts, the two of them pressed against me even more tightly.

Though they certainly considered my feelings, Hisui let go of my arm and stood beside me, saying that she would allow this much and kissed my cheek.

“I-I want to kiss too.”

And now, Shirayuki kissed my cheek with a gentle lip sound.

Well, with them moving away, the stares eased a bit, but what would happen if I were to receive kisses from both of them in succession… Yes, I ended up being glared at even more.

(Well, I guess it’s natural, but it’s going to take some getting used to in the future.)

Living with these two means experiencing moments like this.

After leaving the building together with them, it was lunchtime, so we decided to have a meal.

When asked what I wanted to eat, I happened to spot a restaurant with a sign advertising delicious curry udon right in front of us, and my stomach growled.

“Curry udon, is it?”

“Why not? Let’s give it a try.”

Huh? I thought it would be better to choose something other than curry udon, but we entered the restaurant as it was.

By the way, just to clarify, I wasn’t mocking curry udon or this restaurant. I was simply surprised that even with these two almost like celebrities, they would still come to a place like this.

“Anything delicious is delicious, you know. Besides, I sometimes order and eat ramen at the company cafeteria with my acquaintances.”

“Oh, I see…”

“While I do think eating too much isn’t a good idea, I don’t dislike these kinds of things either. Sometimes, I order them when I have lunch with friends.”

It was another discovery, so to speak.

However, they generally only eat this kind of food when they go out to restaurants, and they apparently don’t eat cup noodles or anything like that.

Thinking about it, I haven’t had cup noodles for a long time either, so occasionally enjoying noodles like this might be a good idea.

“Welcome~!”

As we entered, there were quite a few customers inside.

There were many adults, but even more students could be seen. Perhaps they were students from a different high school, returning from their club activities, unlike me and Shirayuki.

The students in their gym uniforms glanced at Shirayuki and Hisui, then widened their eyes when they looked at me, whispering something among themselves… Well, I don’t want to know what they’re talking about.

“Hmm…”

We were guided to a seat in the back since there were three of us, and we sat down on the tatami mats.

Since I didn’t have any specific preferences, I ordered three servings of the highly recommended curry udon and then looked at myself.

“What’s wrong?”

Shirayuki, who was sitting next to me, asked, so I replied like this.

“Well… I mean, compared to Shirayuki and Hisui, I’m nothing special. I’m not saying I’m handsome or anything, but lately, I’ve been confident in the changes in my appearance, including the fact that I’ve lost weight.”

“Yes.”

“Mhmm.”

Of course, there are times when I feel that my appearance doesn’t match up to their standards.

But it’s only natural not to worry about it, and I have confidence not only in the physical changes I’ve undergone through exercise but also in the fact that they say they love me for who I am.

That’s why, even though I don’t want to sound conceited, I thought it was natural for people to question why I’m so close to them.

“After all, other people’s words are just other people’s words. So, in the end, it’s up to my own feelings. It’s enough for me that the two of you care about me. But even so, I still can’t bring myself to say, ‘I’m good enough.’”

It’s confidence born from that realization, but well, I can’t control how others perceive things.

Knowing that it’s pointless to worry about it, I embraced Shirayuki, who was sitting next to me, in the same way as earlier, with a carefree attitude.

“…Su.”

“Oh, Touma-kun, you’re such a tease.”

As I buried my face in her neck, she squirmed ticklishly, but with a happy voice, she relaxed and let go of her body.

“You two really get along well. I can’t help but wonder why I’m not sitting next to you, but more than that, the close bond between the person I love and my beloved daughter is wonderful.”

Glancing at Hisui, who was watching us with a dreamy look, it was clear that she was captivated.

Touching Shirayuki like this, I couldn’t help but have mischievous thoughts, or rather, I wanted to tease her even more. I honestly think it’s dangerous, but my hands didn’t stop and slipped into her clothes.

“Touma-kun…? You’re such a troublesome person.”

“You don’t like it?”

“I don’t hate it, but please be gentle enough that I can’t make a sound, okay?”

With her permission, I gently started my mischief with Shirayuki.

Well, even from an outsider’s perspective, it would only look like we’re hugging tightly, and they shouldn’t notice that my hand has slipped into her clothes.

As my hand roamed over Shirayuki’s body, she let out a bewitching sigh, and somehow, Hisui also showed signs of being affected.

“Here’s your order!”

The waitress arrived with the udon, so I quickly withdrew my hand. However, Shirayuki’s expression had transformed into something seductive, and even the waitress, who caught a glimpse of her eyes, blushed instantly.

“Thank you… very much.”

“Oh, um… Enjoy your meal…”

Is this… my fault?

Am I guilty…? Afterward, we finished our lunch and spent a leisurely time before returning home.
