Chapter 151: Kid Group Big Gathering!③☆

Oh♡, Takuya-kun and the others are out~♡.”

“Sorry to keep you waiting…”

“Ehehe♡, We smell the same♡.”

“Yeah…”

Yuika-san hugs me and sniffs me. Fresh from the bath, we both smell nice.

“Nfufu♡, We heard voices, y’know♡, Mikoto-chan and Ran-chan’s♡.”

““Ngh!♡””

Kaede’s reveal makes Mikoto-san and Ran-san blush. Maybe we got a bit too intense…

“So jealous~♡, I wanna be teased by Takuya so much I make those kinds of noises too♡.”

“A-Arisa-chan! That’s enough of that talk!”

Ran-san forcibly stops Arisa’s teasing. Yeah, it’s embarrassing to have your sex noises heard.

“Alright then, how about love talk…? We just did some stuff, so everyone’s got stories, right?”

Kaede seems eager for love talk but worried there might not be enough stories to share.

“I’ve got one~♡.”

“Of course Seira-chan does♡.”

“I’ve got one too~♡.”

“Me too~♡.”

Surprisingly, there are plenty of stories, so we end up doing love talk this time too.

“Okay, Seira-chan, you’re up first~♡.”

Kaede’s running the show, and Seira-chan’s picked to start.

“Everyone knows Takkun’s been on TV and in magazines, right?♡ But do you know why he decided to do it?~♡.”

“N-No way…”

“Yup!♡ For me!♡.”

““Kyaa~!♡””

“I’m just so happy… Being supported like this… sniff…”

“Seira-chan, your nose is running♡.”

“Thanks…”

Seira-chan was happily talking but suddenly starts crying.

Chiaki-senpai quickly hands her a tissue to blow her nose.

“I support Seira-chan because she works so hard… It makes me wanna cheer her on…”

“T-Takkun…♡.”

“Of course, I think everyone’s cheering for each other too… Studies, clubs… All sorts of stuff…”

“Hehehe♡, Kinda went from my brag to something else, huh♡.”

“A lovely story♡.”

It started as Seira-chan’s love talk, but it got pretty broad. Did I derail it?

“Takkun♡, Let’s do our best at the next shoot too♡.”

“Yeah… I’m a bit nervous, though.”

“I’ve got you, so it’ll be fine!♡.”

“Yup…!”

Seira-chan pats me, reassuring me everything’s okay.

“What’s the shoot about?”

“First, an interview with just me and Takkun. Probably similar to the magazine interview we did before.”

I’m relieved to hear it’s like last time. Gotta be careful not to make weird faces, though, since it’s being filmed.

“Then, it’s a studio talk with the members too.”

“Takuya-kun’s practically a celebrity now♡.”

“Y-Yuika-san… I-I’m just a regular guy…”

“Takuya, maybe start thinking about your autograph now?♡.”

Even Arisa teases me. I was already overwhelmed just thinking about an autograph for streaming.

“Well, that’s my love talk?♡ Or brag?♡ That’s it~♡.”

Everyone claps, and Seira-chan’s love talk wraps up.

“Okay, who’s next~♡.”

“Me~♡.”

“Chiaki-senpai, go for it!♡.”

“Mine’s not exactly love talk… More like a gushy happy story♡.”

“That’s totally fine, senpai♡.”

“Ehehe♡, So, it’s about when I stayed over at Takuya-kun’s room…”

Chiaki-senpai’s sharing a memory with me. Wonder what it’ll be.

“Takuya-kun and I were eating snacks and chatting♡, and he said he loves me, Seira-chan, and Karen-chan so much, idol or model stuff aside♡.”

““““Kyaa!!♡♡””””

“Is that really such a big deal…”

To me, it’s just obvious… They’re all so cute to me…

“Chiaki-senpai, I totally get that feeling♡.”

“Me too♡.”

Mikoto-san and Mikuni-san relate to Chiaki-senpai. They both have pretty big titles, after all.

“All the men I met before only wanted my… Hoshimiya Resort’s name… Or they disliked me because of my chest…”

“I was the same… I wanted similar things from men, so I can’t talk… But…”

Mikoto-san and Mikuni-san look serious, recalling their pasts.

““But!♡””

“Takuya-sama loves me for me, not the Hoshimiya name, I truly believe that♡.”

“Me too♡, That’s why I want to devote myself to Takuya-sama with all my heart♡.”

“I get it! I totally get it♡.”

The three of them praise me a ton, but it’s kinda embarrassing.

“Fufu♡, Takkun, would you cheer for me even if I quit being an idol?♡.”

“Yup! Of course!”

“Nihehe♡, Normal boys wouldn’t nod there, y’know?♡ They’d want me to keep working♡.”

“Really… But I can only think this way ‘cause I’m kinda rich… Maybe I’m not that different from normal boys…”

“““““No way!!!””””

Everyone denies my words in unison.

“Being able to say that about yourself proves how kind you are♡.”

“Yup, yup! Takkun’s the best boy ever!♡.”

Masami-oneechan and Karen-oneechan pat me and shower me with praise.

“Takuya-sama… Please have more confidence♡… So many here have been saved by your kind heart♡.”

“Yeah…”

“Come on♡, We’ve gotta teach Takuya we’re so happy with him♡.”

““““Yup♡.””””

The talk’s gone way off track again, but Kaede’s call seems to wrap it up.

“So, who’s got a ‘happy’ story next?~♡.”

“Me~♡.”

“Haruka-senpai, you’re up~♡.”

“Yup♡, I was a bit hesitant to share this♡, But I’ll tell it♡.”

““““Oh~!””””

“When I got to spend time alone with Takkun in his room… Here’s the thing♡, Just that time♡… He called me ‘Haruka-oneechan’~♡.”

“W-What was that?!”

Masami-oneechan reacts the most to this.

“Takuya!? I’m more of an oneechan than Haruka, right?!”

“That’s true… My real oneechan are only my oneechan…”

“R-Right!♡, So, come be all clingy with your oneechan!♡.”

“N-Now…?”

“Now!!”

No choice, so I lie on Masami-oneechan’s lap, holding her hand to show I’m being clingy.

“~~!!♡, Oneechan’ll stay with you forever♡.”

“Yup… ‘Cause you’re my ‘oneechan’…”

“Yup!♡, ‘Cause I’m your ‘oneechan.’”

“Pfft~!♡, Even I can’t butt in here~♡.”

As Masami-oneechan and I get all lovey-dovey, Haruka-senpai seems a bit jealous.

“Okay, next… How about Sakura?♡.”

“M-Me?… Um… The zoo story?”

“Nice! I wanna hear that!♡.”

Kaede passes the baton to Sakura, nudging her to share.

It’s true, with all the grades mixed here, it’s more fun to hear from different ones.

“So… Onii-chan took me to the zoo for a date on my birthday…”

I can’t admit I didn’t even know it was Sakura’s birthday until that day…

“And… Onii-chan, who’s usually all serious-faced… He smiled so much during our date♡.”

““““Oh~♡.””””

“Kuu~♡, Sakutan got to hog Darling’s smile all to herself, so jealous~♡.”

“Even now it’s rare, but Takuya’s smile back then was super hard to see~♡.”

Kirari-san and Arisa are jealous of Sakura.

Maybe I should’ve smiled more, but everyone says I don’t need to force it, so I’ll take my time.

“And then, Onii-chan bought me a bunny stuffed toy♡.”

““““So cute~♡.””””

Sakura shows a photo of Milk-chan, but I’m the one holding Milk-chan, not her.

“It’s even got a name♡.”

“Yup♡, It’s called Milk-chan♡.”

““““So cute~♡.””””

Everyone’s totally melting over Sakura’s cuteness. She is super cute, though.

“Sakura-chan, you don’t have Milk-chan today, but will you be okay? Can you sleep?”

Kanon-san’s worried about Sakura. If she always sleeps with it, that’s a bit concerning.

“I-I might hug someone to sleep… maybe♡.”

“Muhehe♡, T-Then I’ll…♡.”

“Sto~p! Let’s decide that in the King’s Game later!”

Haruka-senpai quickly volunteers, but Kaede steps in to rein her in.

“So, who’s sharing next?~♡.”

“Yo~♡, I’ll do it~♡.”

“Ran-chan, go for it~♡.”

Ran-san steps up to share her love talk. What’s her story?

“It’s about something Takuya-kun said that made me super happy…”

Something I said that made her happy… What did I say?

“I get super tanned, right?”

“Yup, it’s really distinct.”

Kaede agrees without interrupting, keeping the flow.

“And, well, that’s kinda been a complex for me.”

“Uh-huh.”

“But, when we were in the bath together… He called my tan ‘proof of my hard work’♡.”

““““Ooh~♡.””””

“It made me so happy♡… That’s my ‘happy’ story♡.”

Everyone turns to clap at me, even though Ran-san’s the one sharing…

“Takuya-kun’s got this… like, depth to accept even our complexes, right?~♡.”

“I understand, Yuika-san♡, It’s the same with my chest♡.”

“I feel the same♡, Takuya-sama accepted my skin color too♡.”

““Me too!”” “Me too♡.”

People like Amane-san with unique skin tones or Mikoto-san with her big chest really relate to Yuika-san’s words.

I don’t think I’m that deep or anything… But lately, I’m starting to feel like it’s a good thing.

“To me, it’s just part of your individuality…”

“That’s already showing how big your heart is~♡.”

Arisa teases me with praise.

“Okay, who’s next~♡.”

“Then leave it to your oneechan♡.”

“Masami-oneechan, you’re up~♡.”

“My story’s from a while back… When I had a home date with Takuya♡, He shared something he was worried about, and that made me so happy… It felt ‘happy’♡.”

“Can we hear what that worry was?”

“Yup♡, It’s fine with you all♡, It was about marriage♡.”

““““Marriage…””””

“Takuya takes marriage so~ seriously… You all probably know that already… So, I was happy he was thinking seriously about our marriage too, and that he trusted me enough to share his worries♡.”

“Yup…”

“So♡, I wanted to tell you all that Takuya loves us so much and thinks seriously about marriage with all of us♡.”

Everyone claps quietly for Masami-oneechan’s story. It’s such a serious, student-council-president vibe.

“True… We can’t take this for granted…”

“Yup… It’s like a wake-up call…”

Kaede and Arisa get serious looks. They’ve known me a bit longer than the others, after all.

Thanks to Masami-oneechan’s final story, our love talk ends on a serious note.
