Upon returning to our city, Shio drove the car back to our house where we ate lunch with Akane, Miwa-nee and Minoru.
Although we only went to the neighboring prefecture, we still brought back so souvenirs. Sothing we bought at the souvenir shop right next to the hotel we stayed at. They’re mostly fruit candies and natto. Minoru loved the candies while Miwa-nee eyed the natto as if she’s already wondering what to do with it.
Her housewife instinct kicked in that even Shio beca amazed at how fast Miwa-nee entered that state.
Well, I never bought natto at the supermarket whenever I would stock up so we didn’t have any of it at ho. Not a fan of its taste but now that Miwa-nee was thinking of cooking so with it as an ingredient, I might find my appetite for it. Anything my girls made would always be delicious for .
Naturally, if it’s really bad, I would be honest with my opinion rather than lying to them.
After we finished eating lunch, I went back to our room to get my things ready for the part-ti job later.
Akane followed and helped prepare for it. And while we were at it, she told sothing surprising.
“Husband, I’ll also go out today. You see, Maaya-chan contacted …” Akane started as she began narrating what happened earlier when she received a call from Itou.
That girl thought of going out on a date with her beloved sister; Hiko. However, with her only experience only from gas, ani and movies she played and watched, she’s in a dilemma on how to proceed.
She had so friends and inner circle that belonged from the upper caste of the society; friends that’s also at the sa level as their family. However, she didn’t want to ask them and expose how much of a siscon she is. On the sa note, Itou also couldn’t ask her friends in the classroom or club. Especially Misaki who was as innocent as a grade-schooler when it cos to relationships.
That’s when she thought of or rather, the date I had with Hiko weeks ago. Obviously, given that she didn’t contact for advice, she’s also against asking . She’s thinking along the lines that if she did contact , I might use that as a chance to take Hiko on a date once again.
I an, that’s not a wrong assumption but if it’s today, I, unfortunately, had no ti for that. She had no idea anyway so it’s fine.
That’s why she turned towards her newfound friend in the form of Akane…
At first, she inquired about whether I took Akane on a date and if I did, what did we do?
And that’s the beginning of their interesting conversation that ended up with Itou asking Akane if she could co and et them. Or join them as a ‘date advisor’.
“How interesting…” I couldn’t help but utter a comnt like that which made Akane laugh.
“Right? Since we decided not to co to your part-ti job every Sunday, I’m free and have the ti to help a friend in need. What do you think, husband?”
“Hmm, wait a mont.”
Itou decided to take her sister out on a date. Most likely, they’re free from their work at the hotel. Still, I wanted to check on the situation with Hiko herself.
I pulled out my phone and put Hiko on videocall. Not even ten seconds later, Hiko’s inherently beautiful face graced my eyes.
“Ruki… I. I think I know why you called.”
“Mhm… You’re probably right on the spot. Is Itou with you? Are you going to be fine?”
Not that I don’t trust her sister but still, three gorgeous won going out on a weekend… my trait as a worrywart couldn’t help but get activated.
Hiko lightly shook her head as her lips stretched to a gentle smile. “Ya-chan is in her room, preparing for it. Uhm… You don’t have to worry. Our family’s bodyguards will follow us from a distance to keep us safe. Please tell Akane I’m sorry for troubling her for this.”
“What are you saying there, Hiko? It’s no trouble at all. I want to help you in place of husband, is that fine?” Akane, who was watching from the side, interjected upon hearing that. I moved the cara to catch her face to let them converse properly.
Honestly, with just Hiko’s answer, I could already rest my worry. Those bodyguards were probably the sa ones I saw during our date. Although it’s not all female, they’re professionals and only those who were approved by their father could interact with the girls.
Even though that man still hadn’t changed his perception of Hiko, he’s still at least protective of them to ensure their safety. Nonetheless, that’s not enough for to suddenly forgive him for what he tried to do against those two closely-tied sisters.
“I inford husband just in case he started wondering where I went. Unfortunately, he has his part-ti job today. Otherwise, I’ll bring him with .”
After a while, I heard Akane say that with a mischievous tone. As it turned out, Itou already appeared in Hiko’s room, all prepared for the ‘date’.
“A-akane! D-don’t ever tell him that I asked you for this!” Itou hurriedly ran in front of the screen, screaming in panic.
However, to her disappointnt or utter embarrassnt, Hiko inford her of what was truly happening.
“Uhm… Ya-chan, the phone she’s using is Ruki’s. It’s too late for that. Also, Ruki’s at her side.”
With that, Akane turned the focus of the cara back to , leading for Itou to beco like a ripe tomato as blood rushed to her face, heating her up.
“T-that… Y-you…!”
With how broken the words that left her mouth, I couldn’t even guess what she was trying to say.
“Itou. I’m not against this, for your information. In fact, I appreciate the thought you put into it. I’m sure Hiko will also like this plan of yours.”
Since Hiko was still behind her, I saw how the girl nodded energetically in agreent with .
“I’ll leave the two to you… You know how much I love them both, right? You can hate as much as you want but… just so you know, I never hated you. You’re just too much of a siscon. That’s understandable. However, I think you should co to terms that I’m your sister’s boyfriend.”
“I-I’m not a siscon!” Ignoring everything else that I said apart from that part, Itou tried rebutting. However, with just a tug by Hiko, she quickly lted like butter on a hot pan, sizzling as she crumbled. “N-nee-sama, I just…”
As an answer to that, Hiko just hugged her little sister and patted her head tenderly. “Shush. You don’t have to explain, Ya-chan. I know where you’re coming from… But you see. Ruki is right. Can you accept him for ?”
“But nee-sama, he’s not loyal.”
In a normal sense, that’s true. I’m deluding myself to say that I’m loyal to all of them when in fact, my mind always jumps from one girl to another. Anyone that will be questioned whether I am loyal or not will surely curse for being this shaless in claiming that I’m loyal.
In any case, the conversation is derailing, isn’t it?
“I have to defend my husband there, Maaya-chan. Ruki is… at least loyal to all of us. It’s a different kind of loyalty that is accepted by the society but and your sister, Hiko, are aware of how much dedication Ruki is putting in to keep us satisfied and happy.”
Before I could utter a response, Akane beat to it and soon afterward, Hiko also agreed with her words, leaving Itou baffled. Her eyes then searched for my visage through the screen and hatefully glared at .
Seeing that, I could only wryly smile.
I guess it’s still a long way to make her accept the reality of our situation.
In any case, after this, Akane and Hiko took turns in calming down the girl.
When they finally ended the call, Akane laid down her head on my lap, a little exhausted from it. “Should I still go, husband? I think Maaya-chan will keep on insisting that you’re not good for her sister. The date that she planned will not be realized.”
That’s a fair opinion… but for …
“I don’t think she’ll keep being like that. In the end, Itou will prioritize her older sister’s happiness. I’m sure, by now, she’s already cheering herself up to make Hiko forget about even for just today.”
“Ah… That might be true..” Akane, who probably imagined Itou doing a victory pose, giggled heartily.
