I ended up living together with the school's number one beauty who rejected me even though I hadn't confessed to her, but why are her beautiful sisters aiming to steal my virginity?

Hiragi Akane couldn’t understand it herself.

The next day after school hours, after she had kissed Nazuna. Akane was alone, swaying on the train.

“…What am I doing?”

She muttered quietly and stared blankly at the sky. Unlike yesterday’s heavy rain, today the sky was clear without a single cloud. Akane, while looking at the sky meaninglessly, sighed at her irrational actions.

During today’s lunch break, Akane visited Nazuna’s classroom. It’s not like she was interested in Nazuna. Whatever happens to him, it’s none of her concern.

‘I’m not worried about him at all.’

While telling herself that, Akane looked around Nazuna’s classroom…. But there was no sign of him anywhere. So, Akane asked a classmate of Nazuna who was nearby.

“Is Haimiya Nazuna off today?”

The boy, surprised and embarrassed to be addressed by the girl known as the most beautiful in school, answered with a blush on his face.

“Uh, Haimiya-kun is… I heard he’s absent today due to a cold.”

The moment she heard those words, Akane thought.

‘…Still, it has nothing to do with me.’

“…..”

Yet, when the school day was over, Akane found herself buying get-well gifts at a nearby supermarket and started heading to Nazuna’s house.

“I am acting like an idiot…”

She muttered quietly, lightly touching her lips.

Why did she kiss Nazuna yesterday? Even Akane herself doesn’t know the reason…. But for some reason, she couldn’t endure watching his painful expressions. Even though she had endured it for so long, for some reason, at that moment… she couldn’t endure it.

“It was soft…”

A man’s lips are soft too. That’s what Akane thought, as if it was a matter of course. Just remembering yesterday’s events made Akane’s heart beat faster.

“…I really feel like an idiot.”

Saying that to switch her thoughts, she tightly held the bag with the get-well gifts.

“After giving him this, I’ll go home. I’m not expecting anything in return anyways.”

Those words were magic. A magic called escapism that anyone can use. With that magic, Akane shook off unnecessary thoughts.

And then, she was absent-mindedly swaying on the train, getting off at the station her mother had told her about before.

“…It really is in the mountains.”

After checking the map on her smartphone, Akane walks slowly on the mountain path. The ground is muddy and dangerous, with no railings or anything to hold onto.

“…..”

But Akane walks unconcernedly. With excellent balance, she never stumbles with such a small obstacle.

“But it’s quite a walk…”

After walking for a while, around the time she started to lightly sweat. Finally, a small cabin-like house, where Nazuna probably lives, came into her view.

…But suddenly, Akane stopped in her tracks.

“Someone’s there…”

An unfamiliar girl was talking to Nazuna at the entrance. They didn’t seem to be close… but the girl was using gestures and expressions, desperately trying to attract Nazuna’s attention.

‘She might be in love with Nazuna.’

For some reason, Akane thought so. Even though she can’t see the girl’s face from where she is, Akane was convinced that her reasoning was correct.

“…..”

Unconsciously, Akane’s fingers touch her lips. The hand holding the shopping bag tightened.

Even if a girl comes to Nazuna’s place, it has nothing to do with her. All she has to do is give this get-well gift and go home.

No matter who that girl is, her actions won’t change anything.

“…But I can’t help it.”

Saying that, she moves to the front of Nazuna’s house…. But, from the inside, she heard the sound of joyful voices, and for some reason… She couldn’t muster the courage to open the door.

“I’m sorry…!”

She hooks the bag with the get-well gifts on the doorknob and starts running.

“Haa… haa…”

Even she doesn’t understand why she was running so desperately. But she couldn’t stop there no matter what, so she hurriedly boarded the train.

“…What am I doing…”

Slowly, the crimson sunset sinked into the darkness of the night. But her heart beating at an abnormal rate doesn’t subside.

Now, she wants to go back, open the door, and hold Nazuna tightly.

Such an inexplicable desire… But it’s absolutely unforgivable. Indulging in such sweetness now would only hurt everyone, including herself. Besides, the train she was in was getting further and further away from Nazuna’s house.

“…It’s fine with this. Because it has nothing to do with me.”

From then on, she just stared blankly at the sky. Trying to avoid the pain in her chest and the distant past, Akane continued to gaze at the sky.

And then, before she knew it, the surroundings were engulfed in the darkness of the night, and the train stopped at Akane’s nearest station. So, Akane dragged her heavy body and slowly got off the train.

“…..”

She couldn’t muster the will to go home. She didn’t want her sisters to see her terrible face right now.

So today, she’ll eat somewhere outside and then go home.

Just as she thought that, a voice echoed.

“…It’s been a while, Akane.”

At that moment, the world calmed. The hustle and bustle vanished from the station square, and the colors faded from the night sky. The woman in front of her was so otherworldly that it felt like an illusion.

“Aoi-nee-san…..” Akane slowly called out the woman’s name in surprise.

Aoi, with her clear blue hair like a mix of sea and sky, Pure white skin as if it had rejected light, and lips twisted in a playful, faint hue.

The eldest daughter of the Hiiragi family, Hiiragi Aoi. She, who had been away from home for a long time, suddenly appeared in front of her.

“Why do you look so lost in thought Akane-chan? Is there something strange on my face?”

“No… I was just… surprised that you’re back, Aoi-nee-san.”

“Yeah. I just got back. I wanted to enjoy it a little longer, but it seems I don’t have that luxury. Akane, you’ve noticed it too, right? Starting tonight, the ‘night’ begins.”

“Yeah.”

“Well, then let’s go home together. It’s been a while, just the two of us.”

And so, the two began to walk slowly towards their home.

“Fufu~. By the way, Akane-chan. Could it be that you were rejected?”

“Wha—!… Why are you saying that all of a sudden?!”

In response to Aoi’s abrupt words, Akane retorted, her face turning bright red.

“Hehe~. If you have the energy to get angry, you’re still fine.”

“I wasn’t rejected in the first place!”

“That’s right. Akane-chan has always been single-minded. Being rejected won’t make you give up.”

Cutting through the darkness of the night, Aoi grinned.

“Hey, Akane-chan. What do you think righteousness is?”

“What’s with the sudden question?”

“It seems like Akane-chan has a little misunderstanding, so onee-san will explain. Righteousness is not about correcting what’s wrong, you know?”

“Wrong. Righteousness is an excuse to endure painful things. So as long as it’s not painful, it’s not truly righteous.”

Aoii continued to laugh genuinely. Akane, looking at Aoi as usual, sighed as if amazed.

“Doing things that feel good will definitely be done by someone else. No matter how difficult or impossible it seems, someone will definitely do it. The world… its people are made like that.”

“But you see…” Aoi continued.

“Living means there are times when you have to deny the people you love. There are times when you have to acknowledge people you dislike. In those painful times, that’s when righteousness is needed.”

“…So I’m not righteous.”

“Yeah. Akane-chan, you’re not righteous. You are suffering a lot, but at the core of it, there’s love. So that’s not justice; it’s just selfishness. But your onee-san is here to listen to her little sister’s selfishness, okay?”

Akane remained silent.

“You’re a good girl, Akane-chan. I really want to treat you to a barbecue sometime, but unfortunately… I don’t have time for that anymore.”

“Is it really starting from tonight, that ‘night’?”

“Yeah. So it’s a shame, but the fun romantic comedy will have to be put on hold for a while. We have a duty to fulfill. No one will praise us, and it’ll be painful, but there’s no one else to do it.”

“I understand. That’s why I’m here.”

Hearing Akane’s words, Aoi smiled as if she was satisfied with her answer.

“My little sister is such a good girl. Next time, I’ll buy everyone stuffed animals or something.”

“We’re still far from being compared to you, Aoi-nee-san. Even back then, we ultimately…”

“Hehe~. Don’t make such a dejected face. It’s okay. I rely on everyone. And he… Haimiya Nazuna will definitely notice Akane’s feelings someday. Whether that’s a good thing or not, I don’t know.”

“I…”

Akane tried to say something, but they had just arrived at the house. So, with a sigh of relief, Akane opened the front door and remained silent.

“I’m home.”

And Aoi and Akane, almost simultaneously, said those words as they entered the house. Then, as if they had planned it, four girls welcomed the two inside the house.

“Yeah. It looks like everyone has prepared properly.”

Touka, Shiemi, Kaede, Midori, and Akane.

Surveying the determined faces of these five girls, Aoi smiled. And finally, she slowly spoke those words.

“….Well then, shall we start playing magical girls?”
