Living Normally In An Abnormal World

Chapter 79.1: Chatting Among Girls

A girls’ gathering with the same members as usual. It’s being held at the Yamazaki household. As expected, Yuuto isn’t part of it. If he knew, he’d still most likely understand, but it still hurts a little to be excluded.

Year 6.

The long-standing daily commute to elementary school is almost over. Next up is the door to middle school.

Middle school places emphasis on group action, in contrast to elementary school, which values individuality. Clothing, hairstyles, accessories, and fashion are completely free, and individual actions are restricted by school rules. Students must observe their surroundings and match their wavelength to those around them, preparing for life in society.

However, there’s no need to worry about Yuuto as he is just fine as he is.

Back to the main topic.

“It’s a bit awkward to say, but we haven’t increased in number huh.”

Everyone nodded in agreement at Yuuna’s words.

By “increased in number,” she meant the members of the girls’ gathering. In plain terms, it meant that they hadn’t been able to add anyone to their group to keep Yuuto trapped and without an escape.

This was because, in the two years since Yaya and the others had joined, no one else had been added to his ‘harem’.

It’s not that they wanted more members; if they didn’t increase, they’d have more time to spend together with him, and so less was better. But it wasn’t strange that Yuuto would attract more members.

In the past, there was a man who had married 100 women. Whether it worked out or not is unclear, but it would be easy for Yuuto.

Yuuto, who could remember the faces and names of hundreds of women, know their preferences, corresponded with them, and treated each one sincerely can easily do it. If Yuuto couldn’t do it, no one else could either.

They had that much trust in Yuuto. Even if he had 100 wives, he could live in harmony without a doubt.

However, currently, there was no sign of any new members joining their group.

In other words,

“Maybe Yuuto-kun is making sure that no one else joins?”

That’s a very wonderful thing for them.

“But my marriage with Yuuto-sama is certain!”

Suddenly, Yaya made such a statement and took out a voice recorder. She then pressed the play button on the recorder she had taken out.

“Yuuto-sama, will you wait for me until I become an adult?”

“I’ll wait, forever. If Yayaa-chan’s feelings remain the same when she becomes an adult, I will respond to those feelings. So, there’s no need to rush, okay?”

“…Okay.”

“I want Yaya-chan to grasp the greatest happiness. But it’s still too early for you to decide about those things.”

Even though she had obtained that promise, Yaya was still a child, so it could be said that it was just a temporary measure. However, even though she was a precocious child, she was still a girl. Yuuto’s statement had been recorded by her.

It was also a public execution.

A good example of how, if you think of a child as just a child, you’ll end up in a bad situation without realizing it.

“As expected of my daughter. She certainly took the opportunity!”

“Heh.”

Shiori rejoiced as if it were her own doing, patting her head. Yaya also looked proud, looking around.

Those around her also looked at her with warm expressions.

Then, upon hearing Yuuto’s statement that it was too early for Yaya, they remembered the words he had muttered a few years ago when they were told by Rina coming from the words of Yuuto. “It’s too early for you guys to decide, so I’m keeping this status quo” It was something that said he would wait until the time came, and it was a completely passive approach.

They concluded that it was a confession that was too roundabout.

As for Yuuto, it would be better to judge after seeing their other encounters. However, it was obvious that they would have a better time spending time with Yuuto rather than expecting a better encounter with a man other than Yuuto.

“So, what about us adults~?”

As a result of Reina’s statement, the adults began to worry.

Yes, that’s the problem.

Even if they combined their past lives and their present lives, they were still older than him. How would he respond to their confessions?

Someone might confess, but they didn’t have the courage to do so. Unlike the children, who had a future ahead of them, they didn’t. Rather than greedily asking for more, it would be more realistic and enjoyable to continue the current relationship that they have with him.

“Yuu-kun would probably say that it’s too early for me too.”

“Maybe he thinks I’m still a kid so he can’t marry me yet?”

As a result of Miu’s statement, it was easy to imagine. Or rather, he would definitely say, “Can you wait until then?” Going from a receiver to an attacker in everyday life.

It was very exciting.

“It’s very wonderful.”

“Ribbon, you’re bleeding from your nose. That’s not very ladylike.”

“I apologize, my lady.”

“So, if you go past being lovers, you’re husband and wife, right? Isn’t that a bit strange?”

“Shiori, I think it’s more reassuring to be firmly secured by a contract rather than by a simple phrase like ‘lover’ or a message on L○NE, right?”

Indeed, Mana’s words made sense.

In this way, information about progress with Yuuto would be shared by each of them as a boast. Therefore, they also knew the content of what Yuuto had talked about with just each of them.

They also knew that Yuuto almost slipped and said that Asuka was like family.

They also knew things that Yuuto hadn’t told Mana or Yuuna: that he was rumored to be engaged to (in effect, engaged to) Erina, Maria, Yaya, Hanaka, and Shiori.

They all knew everything.

“By the way, what’s Nii-cha doing now?”

“Let’s check his location.”

While men’s secrets were exposed, there were many secrets among the girls too.

First, 24-hour surveillance using an entire artificial satellite.

The location information could only be confirmed by specific individuals. Of course, the members of the girls’ gathering were included in that.

“Onii-san is outside, so we can see him on video.”

“Is he going shopping?”

“That’s right, my lady. This route is in the direction of the supermarket where I always meet him at, so there’s no mistake.”

Super long-distance stalking using an artificial satellite.

Is it okay to use the wisdom of mankind for such things? Some may question it, but for a man who has been attacked by women even when he is at home, it’s not strange for Yuuto to find himself in such a situation.

“Yuuto-sama, suddenly tied up with a prisoner’s armband.”

“Wait, the elderly person who is falling over in front of him—”

So, why does he just happen to be there at that very moment?

Sighs were repeatedly let out. The girls thought that this would always happen, even in the future.
