Chapter 122: Ryouya Is Me and Onee-chan’s Hero After All

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

I couldn’t say for sure whether the confession festival had ended peacefully, but at the very least, it was over. However, things got incredibly hectic even after we stepped off the stage. The moment we came down, Reona and I were immediately surrounded and bombarded with questions.

I wanted to tell them, “There are other couples who got together too, so go bother them instead,” but obviously, I couldn’t say something like that and ended up getting caught in the crowd for a while.

So by the time I was finally freed and reunited with Riona, I was completely battered. Just being dragged into the confession festival without knowing what was going on had already drained me, and the barrage of questions afterward only doubled the damage.

“Ryouya, Onee-chan, good job out there.”

“Yeah, good job… wait, no! What the hell was that back there!?”

“‘Back there’? Do you mean the reason you ended up participating in the confession festival? Or are you talking about my confession afterward?”

“All of it, obviously!”

It was already too late to undo what had happened, but I couldn’t let it slide without at least finding out the reason behind that insane stunt.

“Well, you know, Ryouya-kun is a super tsundere, so if I just confessed normally, you’d find some excuse and run away, right? So I figured the only way was to block all your escape routes and confess.”

“Everyone in the venue is our witness, so you can’t run anymore.”

“And you signed the participation form for the confession festival in your own handwriting. I mean, Ryouya-kun thought it was a math worksheet when you wrote your name, but still.”

Now that she mentioned it, I remembered that a while ago, when I was helping Reona with checking expenses, she handed me a sheet and said the math worksheet was missing a name. I wrote mine on it without thinking. Apparently, I’d been so tired then that I didn’t even check what I was signing. From that moment on, today’s outcome had already been sealed.

“Accepting Onee-chan’s confession is the same as accepting mine. In other words, Ryouya, you’re not just Onee-chan’s boyfriend now—you’re mine too.”

“So yeah, from now on, let’s get along. Oh, and I’m sure you already know this, but cheating is absolutely unforgivable.”

“If you ever do something like that… There’s a terrifying punishment waiting for you. So awful I couldn’t even say it out loud.”

“I-I would never do that!”

Honestly, if I ever cheated, I was pretty sure I’d get stabbed. I knew these two had abnormally strong possessive streaks, so I’d never get out unscathed. Well, not that I could imagine finding someone else to cheat with in the first place.

“…Actually, why do you two even like someone like me?”

“It all started with that stabbing incident, I guess. I mean, we were about to be killed, and you risked your life to save us. Falling for you after that? How could we not?”

“Ryouya is me and Onee-chan’s hero after all.”

So that really was the turning point, huh? I suppose it made sense. We hadn’t had any particular connection before that, so there wouldn’t have been any other reason.

“Well then, why don’t we wrap up the chat and head over to the field?”

“It’s about time for the bonfire to be lit.”

“Right. We still have the second part of the after festival.”

I had already started to feel like everything was over, but there was still one last event remaining. The second part was optional, so I could leave after the first, but I seriously doubted Reona or Riona would let that slide.

After that, we left the gym and began heading to the field to watch the bonfire. Just as we arrived, the fire was lit. The sky had already started to darken, and the red glow of the flames looked absolutely beautiful. Most schools didn’t bother with a bonfire during their after festivals, but seeing this scene, I could understand why ours kept the tradition alive.

“Well then, as your girlfriend, I’ll give Ryouya-kun his first mission. Dance in front of the bonfire with your girlfriends.”

“Sorry, but I can’t dance.”

“You’ll be fine if you follow my and Onee-chan’s lead.”

“We’ll take turns, okay?”

With that, Reona took my hand. I began dancing with Reona, imitating the people around us as best I could. I was pretty clumsy at it, but Reona adjusted to my pace with ease.

“Now it’s my turn.”

“Make sure you escort Riona properly, okay?”

“I’ll do my best.”

“That’s so like you, Ryouya.”

Now I switched partners and danced with Riona. She also matched my rhythm, so there was no problem. Still, I never imagined the day would come when someone like me—just Background Character B—would end up dating not one, but both of the undisputed main heroines like Reona and Riona.

Even if I went back and told my past self, I bet he wouldn’t believe it. Their love might be a little—no, insanely—heavy, but I guess that was part of their charm.

Chapter 123: Fine, I’ll Let You off for Now

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

About a week had passed since the school festival ended, and today, the festive mood had completely vanished, with the usual everyday routine returning in full. With the two major events—school trip and school festival—now behind us, some of my classmates wore bored expressions on their faces.

As for me, thanks to what happened during the after-festival party, I ended up with my first-ever girlfriend in life—but that didn’t mean my daily routine had changed dramatically. Well, considering how strange the sense of distance had already been between Reona and Riona before we started dating, I guess that was only natural.

That said, things got pretty tough once I got home after the after-festival party. That decisive moment had been perfectly witnessed by Mio, and the information spread from there. It didn’t take long before my dad and mom found out as well. As a result, it escalated into a family meeting.

“The only saving grace was that Reona and Riona had been seeing Mom and Dad fairly often, so they were accepted smoothly.”

Especially my dad. He was the type who’d dead-seriously tell me, “If a pretty girl approaches you, always assume it’s a honey trap.” If he hadn’t known about the two of them beforehand, I was sure even just explaining the situation would’ve been a real nightmare. Needless to say, the reason I ended up with such a twisted personality was definitely because I inherited it from my dad.

“Good morning. Ryouya-kun, you’ve got that tired face again this morning, as usual.”

“You’ve got a girlfriend now. You could at least look a little happier.”

“This is my default face.”

There was no way I could look cheerful when we were heading to school. And the fact that the weekend was still a ways off only made me feel more depressed.

“Hmm, then how about we skip school today and have some fun, just the three of us?”

“No one’s coming home for a while, so no one will interrupt us.”

Reona and Riona slipped right into my bed and started tempting me. Ever since we became a couple, the two of them had been trying to seduce me at every opportunity, which was honestly causing a big problem for me. 

“No, no. If we did that, I’d be half-killed. Spare me.”

“Ehh, it’s not like anyone would find out if you don’t say anything.”

“As long as you keep it as our secret, there’s no problem.”

“You’re underestimating moms. The moment they sense something’s off, they’ll find out right away.”

Yes, while Reona and Riona’s parents—Kaito-san and Eren-san—had given their approval for us to be together, they’d imposed one condition. That was to maintain a pure and proper, wholesome relationship until we graduated high school. In other words, we couldn’t make any physical moves on each other. 

The two of them clearly looked dissatisfied with the condition, but as long as we followed that one rule, their parents wouldn’t interfere with our relationship at all, so Reona and Riona reluctantly agreed. And now, with them casually suggesting ways to break that rule, I was the last line of defense holding them back.

“Fine, I’ll let you off for now.”

“But just for now. I won’t hold back forever.”

I could only see a future where I’d be pinned down right after graduation, but for now, I had no choice but to push that thought out of my mind. With that kind of conversation, we had breakfast like usual and started heading to school. I was still wearing the pair of rings on both hands that I’d been forced to wear every day since the birthday party.

According to Reona and Riona, it was a preventive measure to keep any thieving cats away from me. When I told them I didn’t think there were any girls like that around, they shot back with, “Says the guy who already has both of us wrapped around his finger,” and I had nothing to say in return.

After arriving at school, I sat through classes as usual, but during fourth period—World History—the teacher was an older man who spoke in a calm, steady tone, and that gradually made me sleepy. I tried my best to hold on, but staying up late the night before to tackle a high-difficulty dungeon had taken its toll—and eventually, I completely lost consciousness to sleep.
