CH 61

“… Ah.”

“Hmm? Oh, you…”

It happened one day when I was shopping alone in the city, which was a rare occurrence. 

I saw a familiar face and called out to them. They noticed me too and approached me.

“It’s been a while. How have you been since then?”

“Long time no see. Nothing much has changed, really.”

“I see. Given what happened, I’m relieved that you’re not troubled by it anymore.”

The man, dressed in a suit, laughed cheerfully. 

His name was Takami-san, a police officer. I met him the day when a robber broke into the Shinjo household.

“Are you the suspect!?”

“Actually I…”

“No he’s not!”

“He’s the one who helped us!”

“…”

It was a bitter memory for me and the girls, but it was also a nostalgic exchange. Although he initially looked at me like a suspicious person, his eyes eventually changed as if he was seeing something strange after the three of them protected me.

“I’m sorry for the trouble I caused you in many ways back then…”

“Haha, well, I wasn’t the only one who was surprised. As a police officer with a decent career, I was surprised to see someone with a pumpkin on their head at a crime scene, it was a first for me.”

Of course, there shouldn’t be someone like that in that kind of situation in the first place. 

Pumpkin huh… Has it been four months already?

“Ahaha… Well, I used to practice kendo. When I wear the mask, I can concentrate really well, and my mind works even better than usual…”

“I see. So that’s why you wore that pumpkin?”

“Yes. It’s embarrassing, really.”

Although I was able to help them, it’s like a really embarrassing memory. I think I would have gone to help even if I hadn’t worn that costume. It’s hard to say if it would have gone as smoothly, though.

When I told Takami-san that the mask had driven me to move, he laughed.

“Hahaha, I see, I see. Well, at that time, not only me, but also other colleagues felt a bit of fear towards you. The gaze from the mask, the atmosphere, and the feeling of not being an ordinary person all contributed to that.”

“I feel like I’m just a normal person though.”

My friends had said the same thing to me. 

I thought of myself as normal, but it’s true that my mind felt clear. It was a really strange feeling.

“Well, I’m glad you seem to be doing well. What about the girls…? Ah, I see. You didn’t plan to tell them, did you?”

“About that…”

I had asked Takami-san not to tell the girls about me, but it turned out that they found out anyway.

“After that, they noticed me and now we get along very well.”

“Oh, really? Was it Sakuna Shinjo-san? She kept asking me about you persistently, but I guess that’s why she disappeared.”

Did Sakuna-san really ask that much about me? According to Takami-san, she seemed quite persistent, but he didn’t tell her anything.

“Well, now I think it would have been okay to tell her about you.”

“I agree.”

“Well, I’m going now. I have something important to do.”

“Okay. Take care.”

“Ah, you too.”

With a refreshing smile, Takami-san left. 

I don’t have many chances to talk to police officers, and it may be my bias, but I have an image of them as unapproachable. However, Takami-san doesn’t give me that feeling, despite being a police officer. With such a refreshing personality, he would probably be well-liked.

After quickly finishing my shopping, I headed to the Shinjo house.

“I’m home!”

Instead of saying “excuse me for intruding,” I’ve gotten used to saying “I’m home.” 

As soon as I took off my shoes, Sakuna-san appeared.

“Welcome back, Hayato-kun. I was just in the middle of getting new underwear for the girls.”

“… underwear?”

What does she mean by getting new underwear? 

With a smile on her face, Sakuna-san took my hand and led me to the living room. But what I saw there was like a paradise.

“Ohh…”

“Ah, welcome back, Hayato-kun.”

“Welcome home.”

Arisa and Aina were also in the living room, but they were in their underwear. As far as I can remember, I’ve never seen anything like those before… Oh, I see. So getting new underwear means this.

“We got new underwear that I picked out for both of them. Then I had them try them on and made sure the sizes were perfect.”

“I see…”

Sakuna-san is the owner of a famous lingerie brand, so there’s no way what she picked out for them wouldn’t look good on them. 

Arisa was in black and Aina was in red, both in lace underwear… Yeah, it’s the most erotic thing ever. First of all, the fact that Arisa is in black is simply s**y. Aina is also s**y because she’s in red… Oh, my vocabulary is disappearing.

“Hehe, you’re staring so much, Hayato-kun.”

“Yeah, how about it? Do we ooze plenty of s*x appeal?”

The two of them took very stimulating poses in front of me.

Well, yeah, I’m staring and their s*x appeal is truly overflowing. I’m embarrassed that I just stared at them, but it’s not a sin seeing your lovers in their underwear, right?

“Both of you, even though the heater is on, you know it’s winter, so put on your clothes quickly.”

“Okay.”

“Ha~i.”

And as a matter of course, the two of them change in front of me.

Sigh… but I guess it’s basic for Sakuna-san to prepare their underwear. Taking into account their opinions on the design, she created something that the two of them will definitely agree on… it’s amazing, really.

“…This is bad.”

I muttered to myself as I looked at the lower half of my body.

Recently, perhaps because of the enviable life I’ve been living with them, seeing the two of them in their underwear makes me really aroused. But if I can kill time without them noticing, then I can go back to normal…

“It’s not good to hold back, Hayato-kun.”

“Huh?”

Sakuna-san hugged me tightly from behind and said so.

Or rather, how did she know? But that question is irrelevant now. Sakuna-san continued to speak in a sweet voice in my ear.

“Come on, Hayato-kun, let’s go to your room. Please use me to your heart’s content ♪”

“Uh…”

Sweet, everything is so sweet…

I nodded to Sakuna-san’s words and tried to head to the room as she urged me, but of course, Arisa and Aina were there, so Sakuna-san’s actions were firmly stopped.

“Mom, enough already!”

“Mom’s been too pushy lately, you know!?”

“Well, I can’t help it. If my beloved person is in front of me and that person is aroused, then it’s just my duty to relieve him.”

So Sakuna-san left me and started arguing with the other two.

The content of their discussion is something that can’t be shared with others, so I sat on the sofa and listened to their conversation, which was, in a sense, obscene.

“…recently, Sakuna-san’s s*x appeal is really becoming dangerous.”

I’ve felt it before, but recently Sana has been radiating even more s*x appeal. She doesn’t seem any different from usual though… hmm, but it’s a bit concerning.

“Mom, you’re already old, so don’t push yourself too hard! Just leave it to us!”

“Yeah! Take care of your body, Mom!”

“…Your worries make me happy, but I can’t give up this easily.”

Ah, sparks are flying.

For a while after that, I continued to watch their conversation with a smile.
