[Absolute Only-Me King's Game] Something’s Off About the King's Game Started By My Childhood Friend Beauties With Me. A Story of Endlessly Fun Times with Girls Whose Personal Boundaries Keeps Going Off the Rails! - Chapter 22

Chapter 22

“Good morning, everyone~!”

“G-Good morning~.”

“Morning~! Breakfast’s ready~.”

“You were sleeping with such a nice face~.”

“Uh, yeah… I feel like I had a weird dream, kinda good, kinda not~.”

Mostly in a teasing, torturous way. My lower half’s throbbing, ready to explode.

Since yesterday, my youthful rampage has been on the edge of a brake failure.

Holding back any more’s gonna wreck my body. But with girls around constantly, there’s no way to… relieve it.

Sneak off later? Nah, feels like a bad move.

“Sorry for the wait~!”

Fuwari’s breakfast aroma snaps me out of it.

The savory scent of dashi-infused miso soup and steaming rice purges my naughty thoughts.

“Smells amazing~! Fuwari-chan’s food~♪!”

“Eat lots~! But don’t overdo it, or walking’ll be tough~.”

Steaming white rice, miso soup, pickles, grilled fish, natto, seaweed, and Fuwari’s signature dashi-rolled omelet.

Not like my usual home meals.

“Mmm, delicious~! This omelet’s seriously the best~.”

“Ehehe~! It came out really well today~.”

“Man, Fuwari’s such a great cook~! I’d marry you… Uh~!”

“Rei-kun’s hitting on Fuwari-chan~!”

“I-It’s just a figure of speech~!”

“Nihihi~! Sure~! If Reiji-kun becomes a husband earning 30 million yen a year~!”

“That’s an insane bar~!”

Joking around, we enjoy a lively morning.

Today’s gonna be fun too.

Buzz buzz…

—What’s with that beauty squad?

—Crazy cute~!

—So tall~! Model or something?

—Her chest’s huge~!

—That small one’s like a doll~!

—The contrast’s wild~!

—Who’s that guy? Both arms full?

—Brother, maybe?

—Totally mismatched~!

—Yo, let’s hit on them~!

—The guy’s in the way~.

Whispers mix with the crowd’s noise.

Envious, jealous stares and murmurs hit my ears.

Superiority? Nah, I’m terrified.

“““King Reiji-kun♪”””

The girls draw chopsticks with high energy.

We’re out shopping today, so we were supposed to use an app for Main Wife picks, but they’re boldly using chopsticks in public.

Something’s changed in them.

We’re at the liveliest shopping street in town, eyes everywhere.

But they don’t care, continuing the game with chopsticks.

“S-So, first Main Wife is Suzune~!”

She’s excited but tense.

Yeah, excited.

I can tell she’s happy.

Somehow, I know her feelings.

It’s like… if “joy” had a sound, it’s resonating from Suzune’s heart to mine.

She shyly takes my hand, squeezing it, and leans in happily.

Today, Suzune’s in an orange cardigan, white camisole, and pleated long skirt.

A more mature look than her usual peppy, lively vibe.

“Uhe, uhehehe~! Reiji-kun, no naughty stuff outside, okay~?”

“Sounds like it’s fine indoors~.”

“I-I didn’t say that~!”

“Not okay?”

“Maybe… just a little~! A cheek kiss, I’ll allow~…”

I lean close to Suzune, her soft hand enveloping mine, her warm breath so near.

“You let me do way more yesterday~.”

“Th-That was the momentum… or vibe~! Just… give me time to prep~!”

“Hey~! Don’t ignore the Concubines~!”

“Got it~! I handle the switch timer?”

“The spare Concubine does~! I’ll start~!”

“Fuwari, you’re on~.”

“Got it~!”

“Here we go~! Both hands full~ Start~♪!”

With Anna’s cheery call, the king game date kicks off.

※◇◇◇※

“Um~! A suggestion~!”

Five minutes in, Suzune keeps holding my hand, and Anna, switching with Fuwari for the other, pauses.

“What’s up, Anna?”

“So~! Being the odd one out is lonelier than I thought~! Watching three people flirt from behind’s kinda tough~! So, I propose a rule change~!”

“Zero patience~.”

Not even 20 minutes in, and she’s tweaking rules.

Such a free spirit.

But her heart’s getting shaky.

I know it, somehow.

Fuwari catches it and steps in.

“Oh~! But now that I think about it, trailing alone is kinda lonely~! Like being left out~! How about Concubines holding hands too~?”

“Smart~! Good idea~.”

“Ehehe~! Sorry, Reiji-kun, harem time’s over~!”

“Bummer, but leaving someone out’s no good~! Walking’s not the only fun~.”

Today’s goal is a fun shopping date. Making great memories with these four is my mission.

“Time for the switch ritual~! Suzune, cheek kiss time~!”

“Hau… P-People are watching~!”

“Let’s show off~!”

“Ugh… Fine~! Girls need guts~! Here~!”

“Nmu?!”

Buzz…

The crowd’s attention spikes. Suzune’s bold move throws me.

“Nn, nn~!”

“Nchu, nchupurururu… Fhaa~♡!”

“Wow~♡! Rin-chan’s bold~♪!”

“Nice~! Let’s make our next kisses on the lips too~!”

“Yesss~☆!”

Her sudden lip kiss stuns me, but I switch gears fast.

I hug her waist, holding her head to keep her lips close.

“Hahii, hahii… My heart nearly burst~!”

“You don’t have to push~.”

“It’s momentum, but not forced… Fuu, fuu~.”

“I’m happy, so it’s fine~.”

“Suzune’s happy too, so no problem~!”

“Okay~! Next Main Wife draw~!”

“Here goes~!”

“King Reiji-kun♪! Me next~♪!”

“Concubines, hold hands and walk~!”

“Y-Yeah~.”

So, Main Wife and king, plus two Concubines holding hands, we continue the shopping date.
