Chapter 19: The Peaceful Daily Life Before My Eyes

It had been three days since that fateful banquet.

At the moment, no particular problems had arisen—but I wasn't foolish enough to think the storm had passed.

Sierra would surely come at me again using some kind of method. Because of that conviction, my stomach has been killing me every single day. Goddammit.

Well, anyway.

Perhaps it was due to the tension of my daily life turning into something extraordinary, but over the past few days, I had begun to think deeply about the environment I was in.

...The life I sought was one filled with tranquility and warmth. A life where I neither envied nor was envied, free from conflict, with constant peace in my heart. If that was my ideal, then yes, my current situation could only be described as the absolute worst.

And yet, even so... I found myself unable to let go of this daily life─

"──Good morning, Onii-sama♥"

Morning. I woke up to my lovely sister’s voice and a pleasant sensation. Lumiere’s lips touched my cheek.

And... the resistance of a perverted masochist coming from my lower abdomen.

"Nyahh...! Just a little more...! I’m so close to reaching it...!"

Due to a certain morning physiological phenomenon, "it" was standing tall like the Tower of Babel. Elie was trying to run her tongue over it... but those last few centimeters remained eternally out of reach. She was pressing her voluptuous breasts—squish♥ squish♥—against my thigh. At first, it had been incredibly exciting, but by now I had become quite accustomed to it.

"Pupu-pu~♪ Another day of wasted effort! Good work~♪"

"Gununu...! Y-you haven't served Master even once either!"

"Too bad for you~♪ Lumi has already served Onii-sama more times than she can count──"

"Liar! If that were true, Master would be demanding it every night!"

After this kind of exchange...

"Onii-sama~♥ Lumi wants to show this brown-skinned idiot what her service looks like♥"

My sister began to scrub a certain part of my body that I really wished she’d leave alone. Somehow, I managed to reject the R-18 development and made it to school safely.

"Hmm. I personally would prefer to sandwich Master’s 'Master' between my breasts rather than my arms, you know?"

"I think even arms are too good for a pervert like you~?"

The two of them were entwining themselves around my arms, pressing their massive breasts against me. Just as this "flowers in both hands" situation was continuing, the time for a player substitution arrived.

"Another beautiful day! Alvart!"

The position on my left arm shifted from Elie (Future) to Elise (Present). To me, she was Elise either way, but...

"Mugugugugu...! I hate myself so much right now...!"

For the person herself, it must have been complicated.

"Lord Alvart. I trust you are in good spirits today."

In the next moment, a smiling Clarice approached, her pink hair fluttering in the wind.

"Forgive me, but I shall take your back."

As if it were her designated position, she hopped onto my back. As a result, the largest breasts in the game were crushed against my back—squelch♥—leaving me desperately trying to avoid leaning forward (in more ways than one).

"Hey, hey, Onii-sama~. Let’s go out this weekend~."

"No, no. As for me, I still haven't shown him everything I want to show him. Therefore, this weekend as well, he will be with me──"

"Ufufufu. It is unfair for just the two of you to get excited. My own schedule is open this weekend as well... so why don't we spend some time alone? Lord Alvart. On that occasion, I shall, of course, do whatever you desire...♥"

Three beautiful girls fighting over my person. No matter how you looked at it, this was far from "ordinary." Therefore, it was a far cry from my ideal life.

And yet, how should I put this? I feel like I might be losing my mind, but...

It’s a fact that this is undesirable, but if you were to ask me if I dislike it... that isn't quite right either.

"What are you going to do~? Onii-sama~?"

"You’re going on a weekend date with me, right! Alvart!"

"Ufufufu. If you wish, I would not be opposed to the four of us... including these two...?"

Being hit on by girls who were charming both in appearance and personality. This kind of "harem protagonist" daily life was, in fact, hard to throw away.

Well, that didn't mean I was going to accept it completely.

However... the thought of this daily life being destroyed by a third party was also something I found absolutely intolerable.

That was why I had already made up my mind. I was seriously fed up with it. If someone wanted to take over for me, I’d gladly hand them the baton.

But the reality was that I was the one who had to do something about it──

"Haha. Popular as always, aren't you, Alvart-kun? I’m truly envious."

──I had to face this person.

Cecil Imitation. A girl who was a Doom Flag for the original protagonist, and thus someone I had thought was unrelated to me. This person, who could be called a "former" Doom Flag, was now here.

"I feel bad for everyone else, but..."

With a certain tension in her androgynous beauty, she threw out her next words.

"This coming weekend──── I’m going to monopolize Alvart-kun for myself."
