It's a Chastity-Reversed World, But It's Different From What I Imagined? - 56

Chapter 56: Flowers in Both Hands

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Flowers in both hands.

On my right was Ran-san, a female college student with sun-kissed tanned skin and a slender figure. The white-based outfit suited her well. Today, she had her hair braided, which gave her an exotic beauty beyond her usual.

On my left was Tsuki, a fair-skinned black-haired beauty. She wore casual clothes—jeans and a shirt—pulled off stylishly despite still being a junior high school student.

They were total opposites, but there was no doubt both were extraordinary beauties. Even in this world where chastity values were reversed, it was rare to see two women this stunning standing side by side.

“Nii-san. You’re grinning, you know.”

“Yoru. That look on your face…”

Ah! I messed up. The two of them would call me gross again.

“Oh well, can’t be helped with you, Nii-san.”

“That’s right.”

Saying that, they both wrapped their arms around mine from either side.

“Eh?”

“You were thinking ‘flowers in both hands’ or something, weren’t you? It shows all over your face.”

“I told you before—Yoru, your thoughts show too easily on your face.”

The softness of their chests pressed against my arms. More than the heat of the summer, it felt like my arms might get burned from the heat.

“Come on, Nii-san. Let’s go inside the shop.”

“Yoru, let’s go.”

They let go of my arms, only to grab my hands and tug me along.

Though their appearances were different, their movements were in sync like real sisters, and I found myself thinking that wasn’t so bad. Inside the store, since the displays were in the middle of changing from summer clothes to autumn clothes, we had fun trying all kinds of outfits.

I picked out clothes for Tsuki and had her try them on. I picked out clothes for Ran-san and had her try them on. For some reason, they even made me try on outfits.

Their swimsuit appearances—whether beautiful or cute—were just plain dangerous. Time passed in the blink of an eye, filled with so much fun that I wondered if it was okay for me to enjoy myself this much.

“Nii-san, I’m hungry.”

“Me too. Shall we go eat somewhere?”

The place we went into as a trio was a somewhat high-class teppanyaki restaurant. The interior had only counter seats, so we sat in the order: Tsuki, me, then Ran-san.

“Thank you for keeping me company today.”

“No need to thank me. I had fun too.”

“Please, let me treat you today.”

“Oh~ Should I let you?”

I apologized to Ran-san as I spoke. Just as I had declared before, I had intended to treat her, which was why I chose this place. I also planned to treat Tsuki as her older brother.

“Nii-san~ Just because you wanted to show off how cool you are, are you sure it’s okay to pick a place like this?”

Not only Ran-san but even Tsuki teased me. Still, thanks to the Male Protection Law and also to Seiya, I had been able to earn some income on my own, so my wallet could handle it.

“Of course. Order whatever you like.”

“Yay~ I’m going to drain Nii-san’s wallet dry then.”

“Fufufu, you two really are close.”

“No, no, usually we’re not like this.”

Even when talking as the three of us, the conversation flowed easily, with the two of them teasing me and laughing. I found myself thinking. If only Ran-san really became my girlfriend, how happy would I be? Tsuki seemed to like Ran-san too…If the two of us could ever go out together…

“By the way, it’s already summer vacation, right?”

“Yes. I used to be in the student council, but I finished handing things over to the new student council before break, so I’m taking it easy this year.”

“Ehh, is it okay to say that? You’re in your third year, right? Don’t you have exams?”

“That’s no problem. I’ve already decided on Aoba High, and with my current grades, it won’t be an issue.”

While I was lost in thought, the two girls had gotten deep into their own conversation. Meanwhile, the delicious smell of meat sizzling on the griddle in front of us made my stomach growl.

“What about you, Ran-san? What are your plans for summer vacation?”

“I’ll be a bit busy… There’s a training camp for the long-distance relay race, and modeling jobs have filled my schedule.”

“Long-distance relay race?”

“Yes. I run long-distance relay race at university. I’m promising enough to be trusted with a spot as a first-year.”

Ugh, there’s no opening for me to jump into the conversation. Wait—this meat is insanely good. It’s only seasoned with salt and pepper, yet it tastes so sweet.

“And you Nii-san? What about your summer vacation?”

“Yoru, what have you been doing lately?”

Just as I was savoring the meat, they both hit me with questions. The meat melted away in my mouth before I even had the chance to choke on it.

“Me? I’ve got a training camp for club activities. And if I find some time, I’d like to go out and have some fun.”

“Training camp?”

“Club activities?”

They seemed to latch onto different parts of my answer. Tsuki probably already knew about the club since she’d heard me talking with Seiya. Ran-san, on the other hand, hadn’t heard anything about it, so she must have gotten curious.

“I started a cheerleading club at my high school. My clubmates don’t have much stamina, so I’ve been telling them we should build endurance and practice.”

“Cheerleading?”

“Nii-san, is this it?”

Tsuki seemed to have pulled up Aoba High’s SNS on her smartphone. She showed Ran-san the screen, which displayed pictures and videos of us.

“Yeah. This is what our cheering looks like. We cheer people on.”

Ran-san watched the video and even searched it up on her own phone.

“Our dancing and singing still aren’t anywhere near where we want them to be, so this summer we’re planning to level up together.”

It was embarrassing to show Ran-san such images, but it wasn’t something I wanted to hide either.

“Yoru, you’re really working hard, aren’t you?”

Being praised by Ran-san made me feel embarrassed, happy and somehow deeply content.
