Episode 229: Legal wife's dignity and forced movement

"Umm ... How can I say it ... Ahahahaa. Of course, I'm happy to be loved by a girl like Shia, but it's too sudden and confusing."

Shia's expression is showing more than usual, her eyes are swollen, and while I am looking at her neat face with tears and a faint smile, I can't accept the reality and scratch my head with a wry smile.

It wouldn't be strange to say that a doll suddenly has emotions and smiles with all its might.

It's so very different from Shia's usual smile.

Also, I've lived for 16 years and this is the first time I've received a confession. I never thought that I would be confessed to.

It's true that Shia and I have been in a party together for the longest time so far, so I was aware that we get along better than others, but I thought that it was just a feeling as a member of the same party and as a friend.

And my relationship with her is that of an employer and an employee.

Also, there's the fact that I'm no match for Shia.

I had a feeling that I shouldn't have such feelings for her. However, due to Shia's confession, that wall was destroyed today.

She, herself, not someone else, affirmed her feelings that it is okay for me to like her.

"Okay. I know ... If it's Fu-kun, it doesn't matter how many people you marry."

"Huh!?"

Seeing me confused, did she misunderstand, Shia releases the hand around my neck and stops her stretching posture, with her right hand, she put her thumb and forefinger together making an okay sign and issues a harem permission declaration.

I didn't expect to be told such a thing, and my voice leaks out in surprise.

It seems that Shia thinks I'm confused because I can't choose one person.

"Acchan is there, Rei-tan is there, and Nanamin is there too."

"No, no, the first two aside. Nanami is my real sister."

Certainly, I think Amane and Rei are very attractive girls and women of different types.

However, compared to Shia, my relationship with them is shallow, and now that I understand the purpose of Shia's approach of me, it's difficult to completely accept the two, who I still don't understand their purpose of approaching me.

And above all, Nanami is my blood-related real sister ... She should be.

Somehow, I've lost my confidence.

I'll check with my mother later just to make sure.

Anyway, even if you say she's my adopted sister, Nanami is still my sister, and of course I love Nanami, but that's pure familial love. I don't see Nanami as the opposite sex or lust for her or something.

If a man who could make Nanami happy appears, I have a feeling that I will leave her to him.

However, we've grown up together for a long time, and we both love each other too much, so it's clear that if that happens, I'll feel very lonely.

"Are you OK."

"Because I have no idea what's going on."

I can't help but be perplexed by Shia's thumbs up.

"Haa ... Anyway, I want you to wait a little longer for a reply."

"Reply?"

When I let out a sigh, I ask Shia to give me time. However, she doesn't seem to understand what I am saying and tilts her head.

Eh? If you confess that you like me, isn't that equal to dating?

"Dating or becoming lovers or something like that."

"No problem. Stay together without permission."

"Eh? What about my will?"

"Doesn't matter."

When I ask her to confirm, she says that she will be with me regardless of my will.

"Hahahahaha. I didn't expect Shia to like him this much. Indeed the man I have expectations of."(TN:Some weird stuff with the hahahaha, so I'm not gonna add the random extra h's and a's.)

"Right. I didn't think that Shia, who tried to keep others away, was such a girl. It's thanks to Fuhito-kun."

The Katsuragi couple, who are watching our exchange, burst into laughter.

No, it's no laughing matter for me ...

"Isn't it a serious problem for me?"

"What? Are you dissatisfied with Shia? Or do you dislike her?"

When I talk to the two who were laughing with a troubled face, Makoto-san suddenly turns serious and bites at me.

"N, no, I'm not dissatisfied, and I don't hate her, do I?"

"Then why not go out with her? Isn't it parent-approved?"

They are definitely parent and child. Very pushy.

Of course, I would be happy if I could go out with a cute girl like Shia, but I still wonder if I can be myself and make her happy.

It's not like we're getting married, but I end up thinking about the future.

But, if I'm going to date, it should be dating on the premise of marriage.

I want time to think.

"Please let me think about it for a while. It's my first time dealing with something like this."

"Haa ... It can't be helped. We'll give you a little time to think about it."

"Thank you very much."

When I beg, Makoto-san lets out a sigh and agrees. I lower my head in relief.

"Mo ・re ・imp ・ ort ・ antly. Apparently there are women other than Shia you're getting along well with?"

Just when I think that this is the end of the conversation, Makoto-san, who had heard what Shia was saying earlier, puts his arm across my shoulders and asks with a smile.

However, his eyes aren't smiling at all.

"N, no, they're just party members ..."

"When you say they are, it means they are all women, right?"

"Th, that's right ..."

Makoto-san's sharp thrust came at me as I was timidly starting to talk.

I have no choice but to answer as he asks.

But, here I want to say it out loud!!

It wasn't my choice!!

They all came from their side, I didn't do anything!!

"I understand. Would you like to tell me about that in detail as well."

My heart's voice is empty, and it seems that I'm about to be interrogated deeply.

"U, umm ... I'm going to school now, okay?"

"Hahahahahaa. Shia's future is at stake. Is there anything more important than that?"

"Th, there isn't!!"

I make a bitter smile and try to struggle for the last time, but I am easily sunk by Makoto-san's eyes that won't take no for an answer.

"Very well. Then, let's go. Is Shia okay?"

"Nn."

When Makoto-san nods in satisfaction and asks Shia, Shia returns her usual reply.

Through the harmonious cooperation of the three of them, I am taken somewhere.

The melody of 'Dona Dona' echoes sadly in my head.(TN:Dona Dona is a song about a calf being lead to slaughter.)
