After Reaching the Happy Ending, I Was Locked up by the Extremely Possessive Heroines I Had Conquered

Chapter 30: The Shuraba

In my previous life, I had been a gentleman who enjoyed a wide variety of galge as a galge gamer, but games of this type had a standard event that existed.

For example, it was a situation where a little sister slipped into the same futon or where a little sister woke me up in the morning.

I had been enormously excited by such scenes that could never happen in reality back then. I had no idea how many times I had thought how enviable that was.

Someday, I wanted to flirt with a little sister too. Precisely because I had been an only child, I had indulged in such meaningless fantasies.

“……………………………………….Big brother”

However, when I actually encountered it, it was not so great—in fact, it was terrifying beyond measure, or to put it bluntly, it was hell.

“Why are you sleeping in the same bed as Toa Watarase?”

No, even hell might have been too mild a term.

※

—That had been the next morning.

When I opened my eyes, soft morning sunlight filtered through the gap in the curtains and reflected off the surveillance camera, shining brightly.

“You slept well.”

Although I had committed the folly of falling asleep while being held by Toa Watarase, I felt a sense of happiness that I had slept comfortably when,

“……………Hm?”

I suddenly sensed a killing intent from the direction of the door.

Who would emit killing intent first thing in the morning? While thinking such things, I turned my gaze in that direction with a yawn, and

“……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………”

There stood Mahiru Akiyoshi, silently in a dignified stance. She was in her pajamas, her hair disheveled, standing there in an unguarded posture.

“Unguarded?”

Yet she had no openings whatsoever. She stared fixedly only at my eyes without blinking even once.

“……………………………………….Big brother”

I never imagined my fantasy would become reality in such a form.

“Why are you sleeping in the same bed as Toa Watarase?”

“Well, that’s…”

“—Answer me!”

She approached one step at a time.

Each time, my heart pounded fiercely, and a chill ran down my spine.

This is bad, this is bad, this is bad, this is bad, this is bad, this is bad, this is bad, this is bad, this is bad, this is bad, this is bad, this is bad, this is bad, this is bad, this is bad.

“S-Se-n-pa-i”

When I looked down, Toa Watarase was murmuring in her sleep while clinging to my body.

I nearly became entranced by that innocent expression still tinged with childishness when a blade-like gaze came flying: “Big brother!”

“I’m asking why you’re sleeping with Toa Watarase. Answer me quickly! Also, pull Toa Watarase off quickly. And besides, big brother’s bed is mine.”

It was already a complete mess.

However, as someone who had been thoroughly disciplined by my little sister many times, I had no choice but to obey…,

“I fell asleep without realizing it.”

“Fell asleep? Explain in detail.”

“No, really, Toa and I were talking on the bed and then I just fell asleep…”

“Why were you talking on the bed?”

“Well, honestly, why were we, I wonder.”

“Answer me seriously!”

She glared at me from point-blank range.

However, there was no way I could understand even if asked for the reason. If anything, it was because we had been playing house, but if pressed on why we had been playing house, in the end, I didn’t know, so it could only be described as a phenomenon that had happened by chance.

“It just turned out that way due to the circumstances…”

“There’s no way such circumstances can be allowed! High school boys and girls sleeping in the same futon is unacceptable!”

Indeed, Mahiru’s argument had some merit…,

“But you often slip into my futon too, Mahiru.”

“A little sister doesn’t count. Isn’t that common sense?”

“…Sorry.”

I didn’t really understand, but I ended up apologizing under the momentum.

— A little sister doesn’t count.

Did anyone in this country actually use such Japanese?

At the very least, I had never seen any creature besides Mahiru using it.

“Anyway, big brother, sit there in seiza position. From now on, I will give you a thorough lecture.”

As instructed, I shook off Toa Watarase’s hold and sat in seiza on the bed.

“Nn…”

Then Mahiru unhesitatingly placed her head on my thigh.

A gentle weight settled in, and even through the pajamas, her body heat transmitted over. Each strand of her hair tickled, yet it was never unpleasant.

That was because no one could fail to be soothed by the sight of a little sister narrowing her eyes in delight.

“……………………Hm?”

However, I suddenly noticed something there.

A lecture was supposed to begin now, yet right in front of me, a standard situation from games was unfolding.

In short, this was…,

“This isn’t a lecture; it’s just a lap pillow…”

“It’s a lecture!”

“But no one gives a lecture while doing a lap pillow.”

“It’s a lecture!”

“Then at least switch it around, won’t you? It makes no sense for the one receiving the lap pillow to be the one lecturing.”

No matter how I thought about it, it was the opposite.

However, Mahiru kept her eyes wide open and never nodded.

“Is meaning necessary between siblings? Siblings themselves are a lap pillow, aren’t they?”

I thought she had come at me with momentum, but now Mahiru began saying something philosophical. She was going too far first thing in the morning.

“…Fwaaaaa”

It was probably because we had made too much noise.

Toa Watarase seemed to have woken up in reaction to Mahiru’s voice.

She rubbed her heavy eyelids and let out a big yawn, then directed her gaze here and asked in a dazed voice.

“Why are you giving Mahiru-chan a lap pillow?”

“I-It just turned out that way.”

Toa Watarase tilted her head silently.

Amid her usual coyness, an innocence mixed in, and as always, her morning mood was low-energy.

“Do lap pillows just happen due to circumstances?”

Nevertheless, the questioning did not stop.

“Things like that happen sometimes. Look, a little sister doesn’t count anyway.”

“…What is that? I’ve never heard such a word before.”

“Me neither.”

“…Senpai too?”

“Big brother, we’re in the middle of a lecture right now? Stop talking to other girls.”

Indeed, it was not good to talk to other people during a lecture…,

But when she said it while rubbing her cheek against my knee, it held no persuasiveness at all.

“Senpai, what is this situation?”

“That’s right. Explain it. Why were you sleeping with Toa Watarase?”

“………………………………………”

One side was on my lap pillow, the other buried her face in my pillow while pressing me. The sheer shuraba made me want to clutch my head.

The three great families or whatever—anything would do; I just wanted someone to help. I’d fawn over them; I’d grovel or anything.

Somehow separate these two for me.

“—BAM”

Then, perhaps my wish had gotten through. The sound of the front door opening violently rang out.

Immediately after, the sound of footsteps rushing up the stairs resounded, and in the next instant, the door opened.

Had a savior appeared, perhaps?

That hopeful thought lasted only a moment, as the one who peeked in from the door was the absolute worst person conceivable.

The one who had only recently become the head of the Jindaiji family—Satori Jindaiji.

“…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..Akira?”

The moment she saw our figures, she wore an expression that seemed utterly otherworldly.

“…………What are you doing?”

Her voice was curt, yet devoid of inflection.

However, the footsteps approaching one by one carried an unstoppable aura that she could not hide.

“ ‘S-Satori-san⁉︎’ ”

Toa Watarase’s and Mahiru’s voices overlapped.

They had probably cried out involuntarily due to the sheer intensity. Then, the two hastily got up and moved to hide behind my back.

“…………What were you doing? While I was up all night sorting out the mess at home, what was Akira doing?”

“…………W-Well, that’s”

“F-Flirting…? Even though you swore you’d support me forever?”

“Senpai?”

“Big brother?”

Some spirits seemed to be murmuring behind me, but I had no leeway to pay attention to that now.

“…Answer me. Akira.”

Though she wore a faint smile, the highlights had vanished from Satori Jindaiji’s eyes. They were like an abyss…,

“I-It couldn’t be helped. Th-This was just due to circumstances—”

“Due to circumstances, you sleep in the same bed with two girls? On the very day we promised to marry?”

“No, the one I slept with was just Toa Watarase, and Mahiru was only doing a lap pillow…………N-No, never mind. I’m sorry.”

Unable to endure the terror any longer, I prostrated myself vigorously. There was no dignity in it. Only overwhelming fear remained.

However, Satori Jindaiji was not sweet enough to forgive me with this much.

She came right up to where I prostrated, then said quietly yet clearly.

“Akira, lift your face.”

“But…”

“I said lift it. If you lift it now, I won’t be angry.”

“Really?”

Clinging to a faint hope in those words, I timidly raised my face.

Then Satori Jindaiji’s finger pointed sharply at my face…, and in an atmosphere of accusation, she murmured.

“—Cheating.”

“…………Huh?”

“Cheating. Cheating. Cheating. Cheating cheating cheating cheating…… Cheating cheating cheating cheating cheating cheating cheating cheating…… Cheating cheating cheating cheating cheating…… Cheating cheating cheating cheating cheating cheating cheating…… Cheating cheating cheating cheating…… Cheating cheating cheating cheating cheating cheating cheating cheating cheating cheating cheating…… Cheating cheating cheating cheating cheating cheating…… Cheating!”

Those words repeated endlessly like a spell.

Her voice mixed complex emotions—anger, perhaps sorrow.

Her hair swayed, wrinkles formed between her brows, and her small shoulders trembled. It was as if she could no longer suppress her rising emotions.

“—It’s cheating!”

With that final loud cry, Satori Jindaiji dramatically turned her face away.

“I don’t care anymore. A cheating Akira…”

Leaving those words behind, she turned on her heel and left the room. The sound of the door slamming shut echoed unusually loudly in the silence.

“…………..”

Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent.

Toa Watarase and Mahiru were speechless from the terror.

I myself could not speak a word. I could not utter even one.

“………………”
