CH 43

Even though he has already been in close relationships with the ladies of the Shinjo family, Hayato himself still never stops spending time with his friends. Although a little less than before, he still goes out to hang out with his two friends as usual.

“… I’m bored.”

“Me too.”

Now, while Hayato was out enjoying his time with his friends, the girls on the other hand were beyond bored.

Arisa and Aina are sitting next to each other on the sofa in their spacious living room, both of them feeling lonely thinking about Hayato who wasn’t there with them. Even though they were lonely, they weren’t really worried because he would be back in an hour or so, and if possible, the two will spend an intense, lovers’ time after that.

Still, they wished for him to be by their side at all times.

“Fufu, you two are really crazy about Hayato-kun, aren’t you?”

Sakuna laughed when she saw them giving off an aura of loneliness.

“Isn’t it the same for you, mom?”

“You miss him, too, don’t you?”

“That’s true, but I’m already used to feeling lonely for someone…”

Arisa and Aina gasped at Sakuna’s sorrowful expression. However, despite the look of sadness she had, it was immediately replaced with a smile. There was no reason for her to be sad or lonely because she knew that Hayato would always be by her side from now on.

“Sorry for worrying you two, I’m fine now. That’s just how much Hayato-kun has saved me, there are so many things that makes me happy instead of thinking about the negative things now.”

“… That’s right.”

“Yeah, same with us.”

Not only Sakuna, but also Arisa and Aina smiled as if to brush away the awkwardness. 

Now that the somber talk was over, Sakuna clapped her hands.

“Hey, you two, how shall we spend Christmas together?”

They cross their arms and think about how they will spend Christmas.

It was given that Hayato would also spend the day with them. 

Aina suggested that they cook a feast or go out for sushi, and everyone nodded in agreement.

“We’ll go to sushi for dinner, but the problem is after that… right?”

Since they already made reservations at one of the most famous and exclusive sushi restaurants in town, the question was, as Arisa said, what to do afterwards. It would be quite romantic for the four of them to enjoy the lights decorating the city, but still, the most important thing would be after returning home, they thought.

“I want to make memories so strong that I’ll never forget them.”

“Yeah.”

“I guess so.”

They’ve also prepared some gifts for Hayato so there’s nothing much to worry about. Sakuna had thought about giving him a wallet that cost tens of thousands of dollars, but Aina had convinced her not to do so because it would backfire on Hayato.

“I think we should indulge Hayato-kun in our own way.”

It’s the same as it ever was, but that’s the very belief that’s in these girls.

“Yes, I agree. We have to give him a lot of love.”

“And he’ll have to love us at the same time♪”

Incidentally, Hayato unexpectedly sneezed.

Unbeknownst to Hayato, the three of them had prepared something else for this Christmas besides presents.

They even got you a Santa suit.

“I also prepared Santa costumes for three♪”

Yes, Santa costumes for three.

When one hears the word “Santa Costumes,” one often thinks of something with a lot of fabric, or a short skirt if it’s too revealing. However, one should not underestimate Aina, as she has chosen the clothes for them three in particular.

“Hey, we still have quite a bit of time before Hayato-kun gets back, so why don’t we try it on first?”

“Okay.”

“… I, wonder if it will suit me?”

Arisa was enthusiastic and Sakuna was a little hesitant, Aina on the other hand thought that Sakuna might be the one who could demonstrate the true value of the clothes she had prepared. 

Soon after, the three of them changed clothes on the spot, revealing the girls dressed in their Santa suits. 

Apparently the girls were born to wear those Santa costumes.

“… that’s a little too revealing.”

“Hey, at least it’s good.”

A Santa costume with lots of fabric? Don’t joke about it.

The Santa outfits worn by the three can’t even be called clothes, because the fabric only hid the important parts of their bodies. The hats on their heads and the cloaks they wore were just a sorry excuse, and did not really hide their exquisite figures at all.

“It’s okay, Mom. It’s more erotic this way!”

Aina gave a thumbs up to Sakuna who looked anxious and said so.

The Santa costume that they prepared just for that purpose, to spend Christmas with Hayato, was not something that would add color to the holy night. Anyone who sees them will say the same thing: the three of them are a erotic Santa mother and daughters.

On Hayato’s side,

“… Achoo!”

“What happened?”

“You got a cold?”

“No, I think it was just my nose getting all mushy.”

The long winter vacation is coming soon, and I’m really excited about the Christmas and New Year’s holidays because I’m sure it will be fun days this year.

“… Look, there’s a very cute girl right there.”

“True… and is that her mother? Her mother is very beautiful too.”

“Don’t stare too much at them.”

I wasn’t particularly interested so I didn’t look at the beautiful mother and daughter my friends were talking about. As I turned my attention to a store that was decorated with various decorations for Christmas, my friends suddenly became flustered.

“… Huh? They’re coming to us?”

“What’s with the big smile on your face?”

Hmm, well, I don’t think they’re here for us.

But then a lovely voice shook my eardrums as I looked carefully at the aforementioned peoples.

“Onii-san!”

“… Hun?”

Onii-san… I am not accustomed to being called that,  so it drew my gaze.

“Hello brother! Nice to see you!”

Slipping past my stunned friends, a girl – Kanade-chan – came running up to me. With her twin-tails swinging like wings, she looked at me in the eyes.

“Good evening Onii-san! I’m glad to meet you again!”

“… Oh, Kanade-chan, hello. What a coincidence.”

“Yes!”

Ugh, the way two of my friends look at me hurts…

As I was chuckling at Kanade-chan, who was beaming and staring at me as usual, another woman then approached me. She looks a little like Kanade-chan… I see, perhaps this person is Kanade-chan’s mother?

“You must be Hayato Doumoto, right? I’m her mother, Sumire. Thank you for that time.”

“Oh, no-no… Also I’m sorry I kept your daughter up so late that time.”

“Don’t bow down for me, Onii-san! That was my fault!”

Kanade told me so.

Sumire-san was taken aback to see Kanade-chan, who said to me not to worry and raise my head, but promptly chuckled.

“No way. Kanade… perhaps? Anyways, Hayato-kun… good? Please feel free to call me by my name too.”

“Y-yes… I’ll do so too”

Well, my friends were looking at me as I was chatting like this, wondering what was going on. I briefly told them what had happened.

“I see. So you helped someone again.”

“… I think I should carry a mask with me too.”

Masks aren’t exactly an item to make you popular, you know?

But still, I never thought I’d meet Kanade’s mother like this. I even thought she was going to say something about her daughter, but I’m relieved to hear she didn’t.

“Kanade, I’d like to talk to Hayato-kun for a moment. May I leave my daughter in your friends’ care for a moment, Hayato-kun?”

“Mama…?”

“I just want to talk to him for a few minutes. They’re the friends of your beloved Hayato’s, so I’m sure you can also trust them.”

“Aa… Mama!”

Erm… I guess I’m going to have a talk with Sumire-san right now.

Although Kanade looked reluctant to do so, my friends are attending to her properly as far as I can see, but… sorry, although it’s awkward I’m really sorry.

“Well, once again, I am Sumire Doumoto.”

“Ah, yes me too. I’m Hayato Doumoto.”

Doumoto… same last name, it really makes me feel weird.

I don’t know what to say, and Sumire-san, who looked at me with a smile on her face as if she were looking at a young child, said something,

“Let’s get straight to the point? My maiden name is Tojo… and I am the one who was supposed to marry your father, Kanata-san.”

“… Ehh?”

I froze at the words Sumire-san brought. She then tapped me on the shoulder gently, saying she was sorry for surprising me.

“I’m sorry for saying that out of the blue. I recognized your name as soon as I heard it from Kanade. On top of that, my husband and I also wanted to say something to you.”

“……………”

“Please let me apologize for the heartless things that my father-in-law and mother-in-law said to you. I am truly sorry for making you and Kasumi-san feel uncomfortable.”

Saying that, Sumire-san bowed her head.

Is that so… She’s talking about that time. That’s important, but more than that… does that mean Kanade-chan is actually my cousin?

“… Haa.”

I’m sorry Sumire-san, there was so much information that I could only give you a curt response.

Raise your hand if you don’t remember the second half because of the strong impact of the Erotic Santa mother and daughter in the first half.

And me too.
