Chapter 4

"Hmph, so you two... went and flirted in secret, did you?"

"Ahaha! ♪ I just couldn't hold back... My deepest apologies, de gozaru! ♪"

"...That smile is irritating."

"There, there... Arisa, calm down."

Just like during the sports festival, there’s a lunch break during the cultural festival, and I was spending that break with my beloved girlfriends... though as you can see, it had turned into a bit of a minefield.

"...Hah, I suppose I’m still narrow-minded. Getting worked up just because Aina provoked me by saying she did erotic things with you."

"I said I was sorry! I went too far, so forgive me, Nee-san!"

With an intensity that would have made her eyes turn into X’s in a manga, Aina lunged at Arisa and hugged her.

"...Goodness, this girl is just too good at playing people."

Despite saying that, Arisa began to stroke Aina’s head anyway.

Feeling healed by the sight of the sisters hugging, I took out my phone and pointed it at the two of them.

"Oh, are you taking a picture?"

"Yay, peace! ♪"

With the crowd bustling with the festival in the background, I captured the two of them perfectly in a photo.

It was partly to preserve our shared memories in a tangible form, but it was also for Sakuna-san, who couldn't make it.

"Alright! Let’s get going already!"

"True, time is limited, so let’s enjoy ourselves."

"Got it."

And so, as originally planned, the three of us decided to go around the school.

The work for the class projects was finished for me, Arisa, and Aina, so from now on, it was entirely free time.

Of course, that would change if help was needed, but for now, we should be able to spend time without worrying.

"Well, for starters, we’re going on a food tour! ♪"

"Wait, didn't you just eat lunch?"

"That wasn't nearly enough! My stomach can fit way more than that! ♪"

I can understand why Arisa is worried.

Arisa and I only had a bowl of udon, but Aina had already eaten quite a bit—katsu curry and yakisoba—and yet she was saying she could still go for more.

"Well, but I think it’s fine to eat as much as you like. It’s a festival today, so we should make sure we don't have any regrets."

Still, it’s a cultural festival after all, so this is how I think about it.

"As expected of Hayato-kun! You really get it!"

By saying that, it seemed Aina’s limiter was completely removed.

As Aina began to scout for what to eat while looking at the festival pamphlet, Arisa shook her head with a "good grief" expression, though her eyes were those of someone looking at a cute younger sister.

"Shall we go then?"

"Yes."

"Let’s go!"

Aina started walking briskly, Arisa followed, and I walked behind the two of them.

The two were engaged in a lively conversation, but the same could be said for everyone else; the sight of the school with all kinds of people coming and going was bordering on noisy.

I felt the same heat last year, but my heart is dancing even more this year than last... the reason for that is undoubtedly thanks to the two people I love walking right in front of me.

"I’m going to make you keep me company for a lot, Nee-san!"

"Listen? I’m not a glutton like you, you know? Besides, didn't you say just recently that you ate too much and gained weight?"

"Didn't we end up deciding not to care about that in the end?"

"We did... we did, but! If I keep you company...?"

"Eh~ it’s fine! Look, look, let’s try that right away!"

"W-Wait, don't pull me, Aina!"

At the sight of the cool older sister being swung around by her innocent younger sister, a smile escaped me.

"I have a desire to jump into that playful banter too, but in the end, I like seeing the two of them laughing like this the most."

I have many other important people in my life besides them.

But for me, they are already number one... I might have said this before, but I can no longer imagine a life without them.

"...I wonder if this is a weakness."

I ended up muttering that to myself, but not being able to imagine a life without the ones you love is a perfectly natural human emotion.

...However, I believe my feelings are stronger than anyone else’s... the reason being that I have lost the precious existence of my parents.

"That’s exactly why... I don't want to lose them again."

That’s why! I have to protect them.

I always have the desire to become more respectable and stronger, to be a man they can rely on, but whenever I voice this resolution, they invariably tell me I don't need to think that way and proceed to pamper me.

It doesn't make my resolution waver to the point where I just give in to the pampering, but it is a little scary how my firm resolution is sometimes on the verge of being melted away by their capacity for love.

"Hayato-kun, what’s wrong?"

"Come on, hurry up!"

"Ah, sorry! I’m coming!"

Being called by the two of them, I immediately headed toward them.

"Is something bothering you?"

"Well, something like that... but it’s not really worth consulting you about."

"I see, then that’s fine."

"If you ever feel like talking about it, consult us immediately, okay?"

"Yeah, thanks."

See? They respect my wish by saying it’s nothing big, yet they still go this far to say that... these girls are really just too kind.

Tucking in right behind them again, I pointed my phone at the two.

The two walking hand-in-hand didn't notice my phone, so I was able to capture a natural photo of them... All right, all right. I’ll keep taking more photos like this and leave behind memories.

"Oh, can I get one more?"

I held up my phone again, but someone grabbed my hand.

Wondering who it was, I turned my gaze and saw a third-year student.

"Hey you, isn't it a breach of manners to take photos of girls without permission?"

With a proud expression, that upperclassman looked down at me and said that.

I tilted my head, wondering what kind of absurd thing he was saying. I understand he’s saying it because he doesn't know our relationship, but if he thinks I’m some creep taking photos of girls without permission, that’s uncalled for.

Just as I was about to explain it properly, Arisa and Aina lined up next to me.

"It is not a breach of manners at all, Senpai."

"Would you mind not jumping to conclusions? ♪"

"No... uh..."

They were words meant to protect me, but the upperclassman seemed to feel the pressure.

To the upperclassman who faltered and took a step back, Aina whispered something into my ear as if she’d thought of something.

"I’m borrowing your phone for a bit."

"Hmm? Ah..."

Taking the phone from me, Aina handed it to the upperclassman.

"Since we’re here, why don't you take a photo of us?"

"Eh? W-Well, I don't mind that, but..."

Incidentally, there were a few people around the upperclassman who seemed to be his friends.

The expressions of those who were smirking while watching me get cornered by their senior turned into confusion once Arisa and Aina lined up next to me... or rather, seeing their simple "why?" expressions made me think, gotcha.

"How lucky for you, Hayato-kun. Thanks to this, we can take a photo with all three of us."

"It saved us the trouble, thanks to you speaking up! ♪ Perhaps you spoke up because you were thinking of us?"

Arisa was one thing, but I felt even more of a thorn in Aina’s words than in Arisa’s.

In this moment, they must have realized—that the guy they’d messed with was actually very close with them.

"Um... well then, it’d be a big help if you could take it."

I said that and gave a light bow.

Even though he nodded while confused by Arisa and the others' words, he made an overtly disgusted face at my words... What an embarrassingly easy-to-read person.

The moment he pointed the phone at us looking rather reluctant, Aina first grabbed my hand.

"Let’s hold hands! ♪"

A firm lover’s lock... Ah, the seniors' eyes are popping out.

Not just the seniors, I wonder how we look to everyone else... Just as I was thinking that, I was left stunned by Arisa’s next action.

"Hayato-kun, would you mind putting your arm around my shoulder?"

While saying that, Arisa lifted my arm and draped it over her own shoulder.

And as if thinking that wasn't enough, she went ahead and placed my hand right on her breast... In other words, I was now in a state where I had my hand on Arisa’s breast in front of the seniors, and was furthermore holding hands with Aina in a lover’s lock.

"W-What are you...!?"

"Come on, Senpai, hurry up and take it."

"Yeah, yeah! We’re all busy here, right? ♪"

The seniors, whose eyes had been wide a moment ago, were now stunned just like me.

However, since it was a familiar sensation for me, I returned to my senses immediately. Still, for Arisa to do something like this in a place like this... Naturally, I tried to pull my hand away discreetly, but Arisa’s hand was layered on top of mine, holding it down, and my fingers were completely buried in her breast meat.

"Come on, smile, Hayato-kun."

"Smile, smile! ♪"

Whispered into my ears by the two, I managed to put on a smile that hopefully didn't look unnatural.

Though the senior was stunned, he did press the button properly, and a single photo was taken with a click.

"Thank you very much for taking the photo~"

While giving thanks in a voice that held absolutely no feelings of gratitude, Aina quickly took the phone back from the senior and pulled my hand.

"Come on, let’s get out of here."

"Yes, let’s go."

Pulled by the two, we left that spot.

Arisa and Aina stopped walking a short distance away, but Aina in particular let out an annoyed tch.

"Seriously, how annoying can they get? It makes me so damn pissed that they’d suspect Hayato-kun like that... Don't go saying whatever you want, you prick."

Whoa... that’s a foul-mouthed Aina for you.

Her current expression had quite the force, but the sound of her clicking her tongue was so loud that someone nearby actually flinched.

"I understand how you feel, but calm down a bit, Aina."

"I am calm, you know? I’m in a state of supreme composure right now. It’s just that my head is boiling because that senior was so annoying."

"...You wouldn't call that 'composure,' you know."

Arisa let out a sigh and pleaded with her eyes for me to do something.

I had already planned to calm Aina down even without being asked, so I immediately pressed a cold juice I’d bought gently against Aina’s cheek.

"Kyaa!?"

Aina, though surprised, took the juice looking a little dissatisfied.

"That was a surprise."

"Ahaha, sorry, sorry. But are you calm now?"

"...Maybe my head has cooled down nicely... thanks for the juice."

"Yeah."

She began to chug the juice down her throat with incredible speed.

That’s a carbonated drink, by the way. Even if you love it, how can you drink it with that much force without changing your expression once...

"Puhwa! Mmm, delicious!"

"G-Glad to hear it."

"It hit my throat a bit, but that’s the beauty of carbonation! ♪"

Apparently, "a bit" was all it took.

"Aina, thanks."

"Eh?"

"For getting that angry for my sake."

"No, it’s not something to be thanked for."

"Even so, thank you."

To be honest, it was a difficult situation for both me and them.

If I’d been confronted like that alone, I definitely wouldn't have been able to get through it smoothly.

While this is a downside to hiding our relationship, it made me happy that they not only helped me like that but also got angry at those seniors for me.

"...Ah."

"Aina?"

Wait... her reaction is different from usual?

Just as I thought her face had turned visibly red, Aina dashed off toward a shop selling grilled squid nearby.

"I-It’s totally fine! I want to eat that, so I’m going to go buy some!"

"...Um."

Did I... say something weird?

My hand, which I’d reached out toward Aina, wandered aimlessly in midair. While I was staring at Aina as she ordered the grilled squid, wondering what was wrong, Arisa, who was standing right next to me, spoke up.

"The way Hayato-kun just said 'thank you' was very cool."

"Eh?"

"No... is that not it? There’s no doubt that you're always cool, but it was such a refreshing smile. It was such a good smile that it pierced me and Aina for all it was worth."

"...I see."

In other words, Aina was embarrassed by my smile.

I think it’s specifically because they’re the ones who love me, but I found myself wondering if my smile really had that much charm, and I touched my cheeks with both hands, squishing them.

"I can't tell myself..."

"Fufu, I suppose that’s how it is. You like mine and Aina’s smiles, right, Hayato-kun?"

"I love them, of course."

"I’m sure you always think that, but don't you occasionally feel an extra heart-skip, even with the same smile?"

"...Ah, I see what you mean."

"That’s exactly what it is."

Laughing with Arisa, I turned my gaze toward Aina again.

It seemed she was ordering grilled squid for the three of us, and she didn't look like she was coming back here just yet.

"Hey, Arisa."

"What is it?"

"You know... something occurred to me today."

"Something occurred to you?"

"Yeah... well, I guess it’s about my vague future."

"Oh? Will you tell me?"

I nodded and spoke about it.

"When I was dealing with those kids at the Casino... and while spending time with Arisa and the others like this, I thought—I really like seeing people’s smiles... and that I want to become an adult who makes people smile in the future."

I prefaced it, but man, that really is vague.

It’s a hazy outlook that isn't even really a dream for the future... but after listening, Arisa gave a small giggle.

"I think it’s a wonderful idea, you know? It’s very like you, Hayato-kun... or rather, I thought it was the idea of a very kind person."

"The idea of... a kind person, huh."

"Yes—of course, that probably doesn't mean your future plans are set in stone yet, but I think that kind of thinking is lovely. I believe that someone who can wish for someone else's smile is a wonderful person, at least."

"Haha, I see, I see!"

Just as Arisa said, I haven't decided on anything I want to do in the future yet.

I have the wish for them to be by my side, but I haven't decided on anything else... However, it’s also true that it’s not yet the time to be rushing.

"Thanks, Arisa, for listening to me."

"I’d be happy to listen whenever it’s something like this. As your girlfriend who supports you, I want to know everything about you, Hayato-kun."

"Man, I’ll tell you everything. Even if you say you don't want to hear it, I’ll tell you everything."

Did I go too far...? Well, but their existence is just that big for me.

"Oh, really? Then let’s see... can I ask you something a bit embarrassing?"

"Sure thing."

"...Let me borrow your ear for a moment."

I wonder what it is... the moment she asks to whisper, I have a bad feeling about this.

Arisa’s breath tickled my ear, but I waited in silence for her words.

"Um... before we started dating."

"Yeah."

"What did Hayato-kun use as okazu...?"

"...Okazu?" (Side dish/pornographic material)

"What did you watch... you know, to release your sexual desire?"

Ah, right... yeah, I definitely can't answer that because it’s too embarrassing.

Nowadays, I no longer release my sexual desire alone... but when it comes to before I started dating the two of them, I suppose I relied on videos.

"...The usual erotic videos, I guess."

"Well... I suppose so."

"But I didn't watch them that much, you know...? I didn't have much interest, or rather, since I was alone at home, I was busy with a lot to do. Thinking about it that way, just like now, it felt like I didn't really rely on those things much."

I feel like I’ve told this story before, but I don't watch videos at all now.

My days are so fulfilling that I don't have time to watch such things, or rather, my sexual desire is satisfied to the point where I don't need them... I mean, if you have girlfriends like Arisa and the others by your side, you conversely won't be satisfied with videos.

"Does that mean me and Aina are more erotic?"

"Yeah! ...It’s embarrassing to nod so confidently, though."

"Fufu ♪ From our perspective, that makes us very happy, you know? For someone like me who wants to be only your woman... only your property, it makes me very... right?"

Arisa smiled mysteriously and unbuttoned the front of her top just enough for only me to see.

My gaze was drawn to the deep cleavage of her ample breasts encased in black lingerie. Even now, after having slept together several times, getting my heart racing with just this much must be because Arisa and Aina are just too erotic no matter how much time passes.

"Isn't 'want to be' the wrong way to put it?"

"Eh?"

"I mean, you already are, right?"

"...Ah."

I voiced the doubt that had occurred to me, and just like Aina earlier, Arisa froze in a daze, her cheeks gradually turning red.

The line I said might be embarrassing, but I think it’s a bit late for that... After clearing her throat once, Arisa continued with an upturned gaze.

"Just like with Aina earlier, Hayato-kun, the things you say without being conscious of them are just too cool... It’s really a good thing me and Aina are by your side. If not, who knows how many girls would have fallen prey to your poison fangs..."

"Poison fangs... but I only say things like this because it’s Arisa and the others."

"That’s it! That’s exactly it! Take this, take this!"

Arisa began to pat my chest with a force that didn't hurt at all.

Just then, Aina returned having bought three grilled squids, and she looked at us with a gaze that asked what on earth we were doing.

"What are you doing?"

"Oh, nothing. More importantly, those look delicious."

"Right? ♪ Here’s Hayato-kun’s portion, and yours too, Nee-san."

"Thanks."

"...Hah, thank you, Aina."

Taking the grilled squid from Aina, I took a big bite.

Even though I wasn't particularly hungry, I couldn't stop eating as the flavor of the squid and sauce spread through my mouth.

"It’s delicious."

"Wait, Aina, you've got sauce on your cheek."

"Wipe it for meee."

"...Honestly, this girl."

From there, we put grilled squid, takoyaki, and crepes into our stomachs in that order.

Aina’s eating pace was as consistent as ever, but let’s just say it was a fairly tough battle for me and Arisa... I mean, it was definitely delicious, but it feels like things might get messy if we tried to run.

"It reminds me of when we went to the beach."

"We ate quite a bit then too."

"I can still go for more, so let’s keep at it, you two!"

"Spare me, please."

"Spare me."

"Ahaha! ♪"

While a food tour is consistently attractive, I’ll have to ask to be spared.

Aina looked like she could genuinely fit more in her stomach, but luckily she didn't seem to have any intention of making us tag along any further.

"Then! Let’s go to the haunted house the third-years are doing."

"Oh, sounds good."

"Shall we go then?"

Hearing "third-years" made that senior from earlier cross my mind.

However, looking at Arisa and Aina, they might not even remember him anymore... well, I’ll just forget about him too.

"Wait, before that... I’m taking a photo of the two of you who are satisfied and full."

"Yeah! Peace! ♪"

I took a photo of the two of them as they hugged each other tightly and made peace signs.

Then, we headed toward the haunted house Aina wanted to go to, going up to the third floor of the school building. There, we passed a girl who was loudly advertising.

"To all current students and visitors! The Miss Con being held in the gym today starting from 3:00 PM—please, do come and see it~!"

We almost collided, but come to think of it, there was such a thing as a Miss Con... Wait, was that girl just now Aina’s friend?

"Was that Aina’s friend just now?"

"Yeah~ she’s going to be the coordinator for the Miss Con."

"I see."

"Are you interested in the Miss Con?"

"No, not really... it’s just that when it comes to a chance to see an event that isn't normally around, I’m a little curious, you know?"

"I see."

It was really just a tiny bit of curiosity.

"Ah, I see it."

And like that, we arrived at our destination, the haunted house.

Using two classrooms, it was a fairly decent scale. Little kids coming out were half-crying, so it might be quite authentic.

"Welcome~! Are the three of you entering together?"

"Three of us, please! ♪"

"Understood—then, please step into the world of darkness... I hope you can make it back alive... Ke-ke-ke."

Guided by the receptionist who spoke with a stylized air, we stepped inside.

To be honest, I’d looked down on it thinking it was just a haunted house made by high schoolers, but the inside was basically pitch black. There were red lights hanging on the walls, eerie skull decorations... and even an elaborately made grave, so the atmosphere was quite there.

"It’s quite authentic."

"..............."

Aina was looking around the inside with great interest, but Arisa was different.

"...Arisa?"

"..............."

Arisa was just staring straight ahead with her back stiff and straight.

Since she didn't give any reaction even when I spoke to her, I was tilting my head when Aina also stopped walking.

"Nee-san?"

"..............."

Arisa didn't react to Aina’s question either.

Thinking "maybe," I placed my hand on her shoulder and Arisa’s body gave a jump as she turned toward me with incredible force... her expression was dyed with anxiety.

"Could it be, Arisa... you're scared?"

"Th-There’s no way that’s true!"

"No, Nee-san... that was a very easy-to-read reaction, you know?"

"...Ngh~~~!"

...Arisa is bad with these things.

She hadn't shown any such sign while spending time with her until now—or rather, she didn't seem scared of the dark at night... Is she weak to these kinds of haunted houses?

"I’m surprised myself... I don't even know why I’m thinking this is so scary."

"Heh... even I, her sister, didn't know that."

"Well, naturally. This is the first time I’ve ever entered a haunted house."

She might get angry if I say this, but Arisa being scared was cute.

It seemed the people playing the scaring roles weren't around yet, so I put my arm around Arisa’s back and hugged her.

"I hope you won't get angry, but I was actually a little happy. I found another side of Arisa I didn't know... being able to learn it."

"Hayato-kun... kiss me."

"Uh..."

"It’s fine. I’ll keep watch for you."

"Got it... well then."

"Mnn... chuu."

The moment I nodded thinking it was fine, my lips were immediately sealed.

I thought her tongue would come in right away, but as expected, she didn't go that far in this place; it was just a kiss where our lips touched.

"...Phew. Thank you, Hayato-kun."

"Sure."

"I’m not scared at all anymore."

Glad to hear that, we resumed our exploration of the inside once more.

While we didn't run into any scaring staff near the entrance, the moment we stepped into the other classroom via the hallway, the darkness of the room’s atmosphere became even more prominent... and then.

"Uoooooooooooooo!"

"I’m a ghost~~~~~!!"

Are you actually trying to be scary with that...?

There were those playing ghosts like that...

"Being together with girls, how enviable and outrageous!"

"Execution for the man! Scare him until he pisses himself~!"

There were ghost roles who scattered their resentment at me for being with Arisa and the others...

"For eighteen years, I’ve never had a boyfriend even once..."

"I don't really need a boyfriend... ah, saying it is making me sad."

Well... there were ghosts who seemed to have no luck with the opposite sex, ghosts who leaked personal info for all they were worth. They weren't scary at all, but they made us smile in their own way.

"Wait... why are you smiling in a haunted house?"

"It had a reputation for being quite scary, right...? Why aren't those three scared at all?"

Eventually, there were even ghosts who lost their confidence... for that, I’m sorry.

To the three of us, it seemed it would settle into a rating of "not scary but a fun haunted house," but that lapse in guard was an unexpected fatal blow.

"Bwaraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"

"Heh!?"

"Kyaa!?"

"What!?"

The sudden roar came from beneath a grave.

A man covered entirely in bandages appeared, rising up as if from the dirt under the grave... His eyes, which glowed a sharp red, stared intensely at the three of us.

"Your...!"

"Hie!?"

"W-Wait, this might be a little scary..."

Coming this far, even I thought for the first time that this was clearly scary.

I had things I wanted to ask, like why there was dirt when this was a classroom, or how the quality was on a level that made the previous ghosts look like child’s play, or what those glowing red eyes were, but seriously, it was quite scary.

"What color is your bloooooooooooooood!!"

I stepped forward to shield the two of them from the attacking ghost and spoke.

"Is a ghost the one saying that!?"

The ghost stopped moving, snap.

As if forgetting he was supposed to be scaring us, the ghost crossed his arms and nodded, saying "True."

"A student told me that line was good... I’ll think about it some more, I guess. Thank you, you kids."

"...Ah, so it was a teacher."

"Aren't you enjoying this a bit too much?"

"Haha! This is surprisingly fun, you see. I never thought my heart would dance this much when I’m nearly thirty!"

With that, the teacher-ghost sank back into the dirt.

...I’m very curious about the mechanics of that, but thinking it better not to ask too deeply, we hurried away from the spot and reached the goal before long.

"Good work~! Oh, that’s right! Actually, in the corner of the first classroom you entered? We’ve prepared a special space where you can take photos."

"Taking photos?"

"Heh, I’m a little curious about that."

"Can we go take a look?"

"Of course!"

They’re both enthusiastic... then I guess we’ll take a look.

We were guided from there to a place that looked like a small private room. Spares of the graves and red lights used in the production were set up, and a prop CRT television sitting in the middle looked quite authentic too.

"How is it, great, right? We have some beautiful white ghost kimonos too, and we make sure no one enters while it’s being used, so it’s fine."

"Thank you very much."

"Thanks, Senpai! ♪"

"You're very welcome, then, take your time~!"

The senior left while waving his hand, but I wonder how he saw us... well, I guess it doesn't matter.

"Wait, that was fast!?"

I heard the sound of rustling and realized that the two of them had already begun to change.

They eventually stood there dressed in white kimonos, but their skin was so beautiful that there was no way they could pass for ghosts. If anything, their collars were draped so low that their shoulders were exposed and their chests were practically spilling out. It was just so lewd... so incredibly lewd.

“Hey, do we even need bras for this?”

“You have a point. Let’s take them off.”

Without a moment’s hesitation, they stripped off their bras as well.

The fabric of the kimonos they were wearing was quite thin. Without their bras, not only could you see the pale color of their skin, but the pink circles pressing against the cloth were clearly visible.

“How do we look?”

“Do we look scary?”

“Not even a little.”

No, they weren't scary at all.

In fact, if ghosts like this actually existed, every man in the world would be praying for one to appear in his room.

“All I can think is that you look erotic.”

“Well, that’s fair.”

“I figured as much~.”

They both knew exactly how sexy they looked, which explained their reactions.

“Hey, Big Sis, why don't we try that thing where the ghost comes out of the TV?”

“Coming out of the TV... That’s a pretty classic horror trope, isn't it?”

It was true that a female ghost crawling out of a television was a staple of the horror genre, but... I really wanted to see the two of them act it out.

The two sisters moved behind the TV and dropped onto all fours. Then, they began to crawl out from within the square frame.

“Found you...”

“So this is where you were~.”

Their voices were lower than usual, a tone I rarely heard from them.

With those chilling voices that made them truly seem like ghosts, and the way they acted as if they were trying to drag me down to hell, the scene looked like something straight out of a horror movie.

“...Wait, this is just like that manga Sota showed me.”

The manga Sota had shown me was a bit on the lewd side.

The story was about a protagonist who came home exhausted from work and was about to go to sleep when a woman in a white kimono crawled out of his TV, which was hissing with white noise.

The protagonist was terrified that he would be cursed to death, but then he thought that if he was going to die anyway, he might as well have his way with such a well-endowed ghost. He reached out his hand and... well, that’s how he ended up getting intimate with the ghost, marking the start of their slightly erotic daily life.

“Aaaaahhhhhhh...”

“Uuuuuuuuuhhhhhh...”

With adorable moans, the two of them slowly inched closer to me.

Aina aside, Arisa’s expression was hidden behind her long black hair, making her look just like the classic horror icon Sadako... but the reason it wasn't scary at all was because of their massive tits, which were being pulled toward the floor by gravity.

“...Crap, I need to take a photo.”

Remembering why I had come here, I snapped two pictures.

I never expected to be able to get shots like this, and as I was feeling quite satisfied with the results, the two of them suddenly closed the distance.

“Hayato-kun, you are...”

“The most precious person to us alone.”

For a second, I felt like their eyes flashed with a sharp glare.

As if they had been waiting for the moment I was stunned by that look, they pushed me down right where I stood.

“............”

“Um... you two?”

After pushing me down, they both fell silent.

They stared down at me without even blinking. First, Aina brought her face close and kissed me, while at the same time, I felt a hand—likely Arisa’s—caressing my crotch.

“Ngh...!”

In a place and situation like this...?!

I mean, Aina had just taken care of me a little while ago, but this situation... And why were they still looking at me with such dead-serious expressions?!

Was it just my imagination, or did their skin actually look a bit pale?

It couldn't be that they were actually possessed by ghosts or some other crazy thing, right?!

“............”

Are they... even breathing?

Arisa and Aina stared down at me, so motionless that I found myself wondering.

Their loosened kimonos slipped further down, and their bountiful, exploding breasts were fully revealed. Even so, I couldn't take my eyes off their facial expressions.

“Um... Arisa? Aina? Are you guys really okay...?”

I felt both worried for them and anxious about the situation.

I was aware that my voice clearly reflected both those feelings, but they still didn't respond... Then, after we had spent a few seconds staring at each other, a voice called out from outside.

“You guys~, are you done yet? There are people waiting to use the room~!”

“Ah, yes!”

It was the voice of the upperclassman at the reception desk.

I immediately sat up at the sound of her voice, and Arisa and the others jumped as well, quickly covering their chests.

“Phew, I guess that’s as far as we go.”

“Too bad~ ♪ But Hayato-kun, you looked really scared, didn't you?”

“Well... I seriously thought you’d been possessed by ghosts, you know?”

Their skin, which had looked pale a moment ago, returned to its healthy glow, and their expressionless faces shifted into smiles.

...I’d suspected as much, but it really had all been an act. I had been completely overwhelmed by the ghosts they were portraying.

“But it was etchi, wasn't it?”

“Well... yeah, it was.”

“You were thinking that if ghosts like us showed up, it wouldn't be so bad to just get all intimate with them, right?”

“...Yes, I was.”

Damn it, they saw right through me...

After the two of them finished changing, we stepped outside. We passed a group of three boys waiting to enter... and the glares they sent my way, almost like a curse, were probably because I was coming out with two beautiful girls.

“Did you enjoy yourselves?”

“It was a lot of fun.”

“The quality was amazing.”

“Especially the teacher, she was incredible~!”

The upperclassman nodded with satisfaction at our feedback.

It had been more authentic than I expected, and as a man, I’d been treated to some delicious sights, so I was feeling quite full.

I was thinking I wanted to take a little break as we headed down to the second floor, when I spotted Aina’s friend, who had been calling out for the Miss Con.

“Su-chan, what’s wrong?”

“Ah, Aina...”

What was it? Was she in trouble?

“Hayato-kun, Big Sis, wait for a second, okay?”

After saying that, Aina began talking to the girl she called Su-chan... Her name was Sumire, so that must be where “Su-chan” came from...

“I wonder what’s going on.”

“Who knows...”

A little while later, Aina came back.

“It sounds like they’re short-handed with the Miss Con preparations. Su-chan is in a bind, so I’m going to go help her out.”

“Oh, is that so...”

“I can help too, if you want?”

“No, I’ll be fine on my own. Oh, but I’d be happy if you could come get me once the Miss Con is about to start.”

“...Understood. Good luck, okay?”

“Do your best, Aina.”

“Yep~ ♪ Well then, Su-chan, let’s go!”

“Thank you so much, Aina! Arisa and Domoto-kun, thank you too!”

And with that, Aina left.

Unless she needed help, I thought we were going to be together for the rest of the day, so it was a bit disappointing. But I couldn't stop her when she said it was for a friend.

“There’s a little over an hour until the Miss Con starts... What should we do?”

“Let’s see... How about taking a little break?”

“Oh, I was actually thinking I wanted to rest a bit too.”

“Then that’s perfect. Shall we head back to that empty classroom?”

I nodded at Arisa’s suggestion, and we made our way toward the empty classroom.

However, before that, we went back to our own class just to make sure everything was okay, and then we moved to the empty room.

Arisa had brought some kind of luggage with her... I wondered what it was.

“It’s really nice and quiet here... This slightly lonely atmosphere, away from all the hustle and bustle, feels really comfortable.”

“I feel the same way. But I’m sure it’s also because this is the perfect place for us to have a tryst.”

I see, that was certainly true.

It would be nice to spend time quietly here until the Miss Con started... Wait, Arisa, why are you suddenly starting to change clothes?!

“Arisa-san...?”

“Fufu~ ♪”

Not long after, she had transformed from her school uniform into her bunny girl outfit.

I felt like pointing out how many times she had changed costumes today, but once I was shown those alluring limbs of hers, my body immediately began to heat up with excitement.

“...Ngh.”

It was probably because our kiss and everything else had been cut short when the two of them were pressing me in the haunted house.

“Neither of us will be able to leave this room until we're satisfied, right? Besides, Aina even gave me a push.”

“? Aina did?”

“This.”

Arisa showed me her smartphone screen, which displayed a message from Aina.

“Well then, Nee-san, you can have Hayato-kun all to yourself while I’m gone. I already did some lewd stuff earlier, so make sure Hayato-kun takes good care of you too ♡”

After confirming that I had read the whole thing, Arisa put her phone away and spoke.

“No one is coming here, and our voices won't be heard outside... and you can't see in from the window. It’s a bit late for those explanations, isn't it? Now then, Hayato-kun, please... will you pay some attention to this hopeless, perverted bunny?”

▼▽

“Ugh... ah... ngh... ♡”

Hayato-kun’s hands were fondling my body... It made me so happy and felt so good that I couldn't stop these cries of joy from leaking out.

“Hey, Hayato-kun, be more aggressive? Do whatever you want with my body, and crave me more ♡”

“Yeah, I got it.”

I liked it when he was gentle, but I definitely preferred it when he was rough.

The more intensely he wanted me, the more I could feel through my skin that Hayato-kun was completely obsessed with me.

“I love this... ♡”

Embraced from behind by Hayato-kun, my breasts were being relentlessly toyed with.

I wanted to serve Hayato-kun as soon as possible, but he told me that he wanted to make me feel good first.

I was happy... so incredibly happy.

Being desired and pleasured like this made me so happy... but even more than that, I wanted this beloved person to feel good too.

“How is it? Does it feel good?”

“Yes, it feels wonderful ♡”

Even if I wanted to act tough, I couldn't say otherwise.

Just as Aina and I knew Hayato-kun’s weak spots—the places that made him feel the best—Hayato-kun had a complete grasp of the places that brought Aina and me pleasure.

Hayato-kun’s hands moved from my breasts down to my lower body.

“You can rip the tights, you know?”

“Eh?”

“I bought thin ones specifically for that reason... and besides, aren't tights meant to be ripped in situations like this?”

“I-is that so?”

Hayato-kun seemed hesitant, but as if he had made up his mind, he tore the tights.

With a r-rip, r-riiiip sound, the tights were torn apart, revealing the skin underneath.

“This is... really lewd.”

“It is... It’s incredibly erotic.”

Ah... being told I was lewd by the person I loved made me so happy.

I always wanted to exist as someone who satisfied Hayato-kun... Because the more I was desired by him, the more value I could find in myself.

“............”

...Just kidding.

It was true that I held those kinds of values, but really, I was happy as long as I could be by Hayato-kun’s side... I wanted to continue living with Hayato-kun forever, and if we could die together in the end, I wouldn't ask for anything more.

I wonder if that makes me "heavy"...

“Ahhn... ♡”

Hayato-kun’s finger began to dote on my deep part.

My body had been heating up and getting excited since he started touching my breasts, so I was able to accept his finger easily.

So skilled... Hayato-kun’s finger movements were very skilled, and he accurately stimulated the spots that felt good by listening to my voice and feeling the tremors of my body.

“Have I... gotten better at this?”

“You’re very good. Aina and I always look like we're feeling great, don't we?”

“I’m glad, then. Since you two make me feel so good, I felt like I couldn't let myself lose... I wanted to please you and Aina no matter what, so maybe that’s why I got better at it.”

“That’s wonderful... ah ♡”

At that moment, my body gave a particularly strong shudder.

The pleasure was transmitted to my brain, feeling as if an electric current had surged through my body... but from here on, I had to make him feel good.

“Hayato-kun, you’ve gotten big here too... I’ll get ready.”

We still had plenty of time... we could love each other as much as we wanted.

I took out the condom I had brought and, holding it in my mouth, skillfully rolled it onto his member... It was a bit difficult, but it made me happy when it would twitch in response.

“There, it’s done.”

“Thank you, Arisa.”

“No, well then... come here ♡”

I rested my back against the floor and spread my arms, calling Hayato-kun to me.

Hayato-kun nodded and, as he lowered himself onto me, he gently pierced me.

“Hayato-kun’s... it’s so hot ♡”

“It’s warm... and it’s so comforting... here I go.”

“Yes ♡”

My voice... it sounded so melted.

Not just my voice, but my expression as well. Whenever I had sex with Hayato-kun, it felt so good that it seemed like every part of my body was going to dissolve.

Of course, it had hurt the first time... but it wasn't like that anymore.

The more Hayato-kun moved, the better it felt, and at the same time, the love I felt for him overflowed from within me.

(I love being looked down on like this... I love the expression on Hayato-kun’s face as he single-mindedly craves me... In this position, I feel like I’m being conquered, and I love it!)

I love you... love you, love you, love you, love you... I love you so much ♡

I desperately fought to hold back the cries that threatened to escape if I let my guard down, simply accepting the love Hayato-kun was giving me... Every time he thrust deep into me, over and over, I continued to desperately endure the voice that was about to leak from deep inside my body.

“Hey, Hayato-kun...?”

“What... is it?”

“I... I love you too much, you know.”

“Me too! I feel the same way...!”

“Yes, thank you... ♡ I love your lewd side, Hayato-kun... but most of all, I love how incredibly kind you are... ♡ I love everything about you ♡”

Ah, no... if I spoke any more, I was going to let out an especially loud cry.

Please, Hayato-kun, not that... definitely not that... if you do that, my voice will come out even more.

“Arisa, it’s about time—”

“Ah, that’s... oh ♡”

My hips were lifted, and he lightly thumped against my lower abdomen.

This was what I had told him not to do... Aina was the same way, but it seemed that for us sisters, this was somehow the most effective thing. Hayato-kun had found out about it early on—this moment that felt so good I thought my consciousness would fly away ♡

“Ah... hah ♡”

A particularly strong wave came.

Both of us were gasping for breath, but Hayato-kun stroked my head while looking at me with a gentle gaze... Now that my body was slack with pleasure, I loved having this done to me too.

“Hayato-kun, give me a hickey?”

“O-oh, okay.”

Hayato-kun sucked on my neck... Ah, now the mark was engraved ♡

I often asked for things after sex, and I’d find myself grinning every time I saw the hickey in the mirror... but I couldn't help it.

A woman who lives for love always wants to have that mark engraved on her.

“Phew... my costume is soaked with sweat, and my tights are ripped. What a mess.”

“Was it really okay to rip them...?”

“It’s fine, don't worry.”

Honestly, he was such a worrier.

“Can I borrow the camera?”

“Eh? Sure.”

I took the camera from Hayato-kun and lined up next to him.

I wanted to leave a record of what we looked like right now, so I took just one photo.

“Fufu~ ♪ This is another memory, isn't it?”

“A-ah... but we can't show this to Sakuna-san.”

“Really? I don't see why we couldn't show her.”

“Hey!”

“I’m joking, I’m joking.”

If Mother saw it, I’m sure she’d just laugh and say "ara ara"...

She was a respectable mother whom I admired, but she was incredibly lenient when it came to us... She might even be jealous, for all I knew.

“The Miss Con starts in about ten minutes, so I’m going to change.”

“Yeah.”

...Ah, I forgot to ask something important.

“By the way, how was sex with a bunny girl?”

“...It was the best.”

“Really? I guess I should make sure to incorporate cosplay sex regularly!”

Just as any dish needs a change in flavor, sex was the same way.

After that, I quickly changed and went out into the hallway with Hayato-kun.

My body always felt flushed after sex... I felt like I was draped in an erotic aura, even if I did say so myself.

I could tell just by looking at Aina, but I wondered if it was what they called pheromones.

“Is your body okay?”

“Yes, I’m fine. Thank you, Hayato-kun.”

Hayato-kun worried about us, no matter how small the matter was.

To be honest, I felt like he might worry a bit too much, but I was still happy to have his attention focused on me even through things like that.

“Well then, let’s go pick up Aina.”

“You got it.”

Since both Hayato-kun and I were in such a "toasty" state, Aina would probably be able to tell exactly how far we had gone... well, it didn't really matter.

We bought some juice on the way, hydrated, and then entered the gym.

There were so many people inside, and they all seemed to be eagerly waiting for the Miss Con to start.

“I wonder where Aina is.”

“She said she was helping out, so maybe she’s backstage?”

“Let’s go take a look.”

We were about to head backstage to see Aina.

However, the stage suddenly lit up, and the Miss Con began... but...

“...Eh?”

“...Oh?”

We were both stunned when we saw the Miss Con contestants appearing on stage.

Because there she was... Aina was among them.

“W-why is Aina there?”
