As it turns out, the two girls aren't worried at all that their boyfriends will be uncomfortable with my presence. They talked to them normally, telling them what they ate for dinner or that they played gas with us.
When they eventually panned the cara to , asking to say hi to them, those two even greeted back, telling to scold them if they made a fuss.
Of course, that made confused. I was expecting them to panic or act secretive about my presence. I an, didn't they ntion lying to their boyfriends earlier?
Was that truly not the case?
But even when the call ended, nothing happened.
It was only a short call which lasted for at most two minutes. Their boyfriends only checked on them and said their good nights then told them to have fun tonight.
When they put their phones down, I found Eri laughing at . A second later, she poked my arm and said,
"Onoda-kun, what are you thinking? Are you worried that they will be mad at us when they see you?"
"Won't that be the case normally?"
Maybe I was missing or I'd forgotten sothing here. But at the mont, I needed them to clarify it for . Sotis, even after overthinking, I'd still skip details that should be obvious.
Eri clicked her tongue and grinned, "Normally, yeah. We might have forgotten to tell them about the change of venue. But think about it... The news of Akane living with you is already widespread. At this point, it's now part of common knowledge for the majority of our school's population."
... So, that's the case? No... Wait. What I'm worried about is their nonchalance in interacting with . I guess that's the part that I'm overthinking, huh?
Because I got so used to being intimate with my girls or just doing things that could be interpreted differently when things were convenient, I couldn't fully recognize a friendly interaction anymore...
Yeah. I'm way too deep in this abnormality that I'm now tending to overthink every interaction I have with other girls.
"For soone as devious as you, you're worrying over nothing, Onoda-kun. Why will they be uncomfortable because of your presence? You're Akane's boyfriend."
And that's another reasonable point from Futaba. My identity as Akane's boyfriend is enough to assure them I won't lay a hand on their girlfriends. And in these two girls' minds, the thought that I might be attracted to them might've even passed their heads.
No doubt, I was an idiot for overthinking and worrying over nothing.
"Geez. If you're worried, does that an Onoda-kun finds us attractive? Will you lay a hand on us?" Eri hugged her arms and acted like she was protecting herself from while giggling.
Hearing that, Futaba rolled her eyes, "He already laid his hands on us, duh?"
And then, as though an imaginary light bulb lit up next to her head, Eri exclaid, "Oh! You're right. You tickled us!"
After that, Eri and Futaba looked at each other as they both put on a devious smirk.
What's this? I have a feeling we're going to circle back to sothing I've already rejected earlier.
"So... to even that out, why don't you just offer yourself up to us, Onoda-kun?"
And there we go. Futaba grabbed my arm while Eri held my shoulder.
"Alright. Now you two are reaching. I won't play with you anymore."
I wriggled out of their hold and stood up.
While I'm not afraid of being tickled, these two would probably not stop until they get the sa reaction from . Besides, they didn't even know my ticklish spots. They might just embarrass themselves.
"Onoda-kun, are you running away?" Eri called out. Even without looking at her, I could already imagine her current expression. She's having fun teasing , isn't she?
But who am I?
I'm the shaless guy.
And so, my reply was a swift "Yeah." before walking away and moving to the single sofa not far away.
When I looked at the two of them, Eri pouted in disappointnt while Futaba appeared as though she already expected to answer like that.
"Such a shaless answer. Just what I'm expecting from a beast like you, Onoda-kun."
"Of course, I'm shaless. Haven't you heard Yuuki-san calling shaless multiple tis before?"
Futaba nodded before her lips curved up to a aningful smile, "We do. But you know what? I can't help but notice how she strangely softened up to you. Eri, what do you think?"
"Eh? Now that you ntion it..." Eri crossed her arms and fell into contemplation. Then, a second later, she looked like she realized sothing again, "... You're right! Her request earlier wasn't over the top, she even scolded us!"
"Right? It might just be but... Onoda-kun, tell ... You didn't charm our Fuyu, right? Tell
us we're wrong. That Fuyu doesn't have a crush on you."
"Eh? Fuyu has a crush on Onoda-kun? Did Akane know?"
"If it's Akane she'll just laugh and push Fuyu to Onoda-kun, don't you think so?"
"Oh... You're right. Akane will do that."
What the hell am I listening to? Earlier, I ended up imagining a simulated conversation
between them after Fuyu hugged after winning the ga. But now, they're voicing it out
properly.
And slowly, I could feel their suspicious gazes slowly bore a hole into my face. They're
interrogating , aren't they?
"You two. Your imaginations are going wild. What if Yuuki-san hears you?"
"You're not denying it, Onoda-kun!"
"He's hiding sothing. Go Eri! We need to pull it out from him. This is more fun than getting
our revenge by tickling him."
These two. There's no stopping them, huh? Should I just be honest and tell them about us? That way, it'll be their turn to be stumped.
As Eri was about to charge and jump at where I was, I raised my hands up.
"Alright. Don't move from that spot Eri. Do you two really want to know?"
"Of course!" The two girls answered in sync.
"Well, I won't deny anything but I don't think I'm the person you should be asking."
"What? What do you an?"
"I an, will you believe if I say yes, I chard Fuyu and I'm now dating her?"
"... Impossible!" Their eyes widened as the sa word ca out of their mouths again
Look at them, when I'm now telling the truth, they won't accept it. What am I to do with these
two?
"See that? We're just going to go in circles here. Let's wait for them, alright?"
"Wait. You're using misdirection, Onoda-kun! You know we can't ask her that! What if...
you're two-timing them? Shouldn't we, as their friends, do sothing about it?"
At this point, even Futaba couldn't believe the words coming out of her mouth. She frowned
and then passed the baton to Eri who was just as confused.
"Even if I do, what will you do if they acknowledge each other?"
Sohow, using truths beca too effective because it's unbelievable for them.
And sure enough, they beca stumped.
"That... You're joking, right?"
This ti, instead of answering, I simply smiled and then walked out of the living room,
leaving them in their own world.
I heard the bathroom door opening, I should at least tell Akane and Fuyu what happened, right? They might walk in and find those two in that state and wonder what I did to them.
