Chapter 25

“Oh, Kazu-kun, the children are playing. They’re cute.”

Reika’s sharp eyes found the playing children. Her eyes narrowed playfully.

“I want at least three children. That’s fine, right? I’m only accepting ‘Yes’ or ‘Yes’ as an answer.” 

“Wait!?” 

“You can wait, but the answer won’t change.” 

“Oh, come on…”

Kazuhiko felt he couldn’t win against Reika with words. No, he felt he couldn’t win against her in looks, grades, or athletic ability either. —Sad.

He hadn’t even told Reika he loved her or that he wanted to marry her yet. Despite that, she was demanding children. 

Couldn’t this be considered a kind of maternity harassment? 

Make-Me-A-Mother Harassment.

However, while the old Kazuhiko would have been completely overwhelmed here, the current Kazuhiko was now aware of his feelings for her.

—I need to change too.

Thinking this, Kazuhiko wrapped his arms around Reika’s stomach and hugged her.

“Oohoo ♡”

This woman! She ruins everything by turning into a slut at the slightest opportunity. But Kazuhiko wouldn’t lose. You can do it, Kazuhiko!

“…Yeah, I guess our child would be cute if it was yours, Rei-chan.”

His cheeks felt hot as he said it, but the damage to Reika seemed greater.

“Nooo, Kazu-kuun… ♡” 

“What are you saying? You were the one who brought it up first, Rei-chan.”

Saying that, Kazuhiko hugged her tightly.

“Ahuu! ♡”

And then he put his lips to her ear and whispered to her.

“It’s settled. Eventually, three. I’ll make you bear my children, right here.”

Gyu, gyu.

“Ahee! Aho! ♡”

This was the three-squeeze move that Reika had taught Kazuhiko. The third squeeze makes you an idiot. Having been hit in the lower abdomen by it, Reika was utterly overwhelmed.

“I’m ovulatinggg…” 

“Hey, stop it! I know you’re a pervert, but stop talking about ovulation in public! You’re a perfect beautiful high school girl, right?”

Reika’s indecent display snapped Kazuhiko out of his “male mode.”

“Ugh, handsome Kazu-kun, more… Make me come…” 

“Stop it! The children are looking this way, so we’re done!” 

“Aww…”

It was beyond merely being bad for education.

“Hah, hah. Kazu-kun played with me in public…” 

“Hey, is this my fault? Am I the bad guy?” 

“Yes, it’s your fault for stealing my heart.” “…”

He felt like she had used a phrase that prevented him from arguing back as a man. Kazuhiko, despite being a high school student, realized that women were unfair.

As Kazuhiko slumped, Reika moved from his lap to sit beside him. She rested her head on his shoulder. A gentle breeze enveloped the two, softly caressing them.

“We used to play like that too, didn’t we?”

“Yeah.” 

“And now we’re dating like this. I’m happy.”

Saying that, Reika rubbed her cheek against Kazuhiko.

It should have been a cute gesture from his cute girlfriend, but considering her perverted behavior just moments ago, the fresh surprise won out. But he knew he should say it now.

“Yeah, me too… I like you too, Rei-chan.” 

“Eh…?”

Reika’s eyes widened as she looked at him. Her face was so—

“Cute.” 

“Tch, Kazu-kun, I think that’s unfair of you.” 

“Then it’s mutual.”

Kazuhiko laughed.

“True…” Reika leaned her head back onto his shoulder. 

“But I thought it would be much later before Kazu-kun genuinely fell for me, and especially before you would actually say you like me.” 

“Am I that indecisive?” 

“Yes.” 

“…”

The immediate answer held a sense of truth.

“But,” Reika rubbed her cheek again. 

“I love that side of you too, because it’s so Kazu-kun.” 

“I see… Then I need to properly tell you I like you too. I love you, Rei-chan.” 

“Nku! Hey, shall we go together, even if it’s just the restroom?” 

“Let’s not start there!”

He thought the moment was just turning sweet. It seemed she wouldn’t allow that. —No, Kazuhiko hadn’t noticed, but Reika’s ears were red, so perhaps she was just trying to hide her embarrassment.

“Honestly…” 

“Fufu…”

But this space was comfortable. Kazuhiko spent a peaceful moment with Reika.

Chapter 26

Reika and Kazuhiko had been dating for some time—

“Here, Kazu-kun, Ahn.” 

“…” 

“Oh, are you saying you won’t accept my Ahn? Then I’ll have to grab your cheek and force it in…” 

“Ahhh Ahn! (In desperation)” 

“Oh my, that was a little erotic just now. fufu.”

Don’t “hehe” me… What is this, a new form of blissful torture? Kazuhiko was so uncomfortable he felt like that.

The coercion of Ahn. The Ahn-harassment. Was the Ahn between lovers supposed to be this desolate and mentally draining? 

However, this level of behavior was commonplace for the two of them lately. 

Yet, the reason it was a causing more damage than usual to his heart was—

“Hehehe~ Reika-chan and Kazuhiko-kun are as lovey-dovey as ever~” 

“Ah, I’ve seen this before, it’s called forced feeding.”

The setting was a cute pancake shop favored by girls after school, and Kazuhiko had been dragged there by the three S-class beautiful girls outside of the usual caste system, and Reika was forcing him into this “couple play.”

There was Moeka Watatsumi, with her large breasts and gentle, maternal vibe, and Tachibana Kurobe, who gave a lively impression.

It was a pancake shop with three beautiful girls. Even if he wasn’t a gloomy type, unless he was an Air-head Strong-willed outgoing type or a femboy, his mental defenses were sure to be breached. 

In this case, a sweet, embarrassing pancake date with just Reika would have been infinitely, much, much better.

Why exactly had things turned out this way? Apparently, the two girls wanted to deepen their friendship with Kazuhiko, now Reika’s boyfriend… but he felt utterly out of place.

After all, if it were just Reika and him, it would have been limited to the jealous glances from the boys “That guy, with that beautiful girl…” and the warm glances from the girls “How sweet, ufu fu…”.

But with two more S-class beautiful girls added to the mix, compounded by Kazuhiko’s obvious discomfort, the glances turned into: “…Eh, what is that guy?” “A gigolo? Is he a toy…?” “Could it be with all three…?” “Uh, charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter…” The stares of curiosity, awe, and those waking up to a level of murder-intent that might lead to action were too much to bear.

—Stop, don’t look at me…

Just as he was thinking something an evil villain who failed to gain power might think,

“Yes, Kazu-kun, Ahn. …Open your mouth. Open your mouth.”

Hahaa!

Kazuhiko raised his face and opened his mouth. The hypnosis training had clearly taken effect.

“Nmug, mug, mug…” 

“Kazu-kun, it is delicious, isn’t it?” 

“Yes, it is delicious.”

Wait? Was this really how lovers behaved at a pancake shop? Kazuhiko wondered suspiciously.

“Hahaha, amazing! Kazuhiko is doing exactly as he’s told! He’s been trained!”

—Kurobe-san!? Don’t say ‘trained’ so loud in a pancake shop! That older sister over there is smiling, going ‘…train-ing… mufu,’ you know!

While Kazuhiko was inwardly rolling his eyes, the enemy wasn’t just Tachibana.

“Oh, Tachibana-chan~! You shouldn’t say things like that~. Though it’s true Kazuhiko-kun seems to be thoroughly trained by Reika-chan… Ufu, ufufufu ♡ I wonder if he’ll end up whining and sucking on my breast for comfort~?”

Watatsumi-san!?

“Hey, Moeka, your face is starting to look dangerous.” 

“Oops.” 

“Hahaha, but I guess it can’t be helped for Moeka when she sees something like this, can it? I mean, right?”

—Hey, do you have something too? Why does Kurobe-san look at me with such predatory eyes…?

“Hey, Tachibana, too. Kazu-kun belongs to me.”

—Ohhh, Rei-chan sounds surprisingly dependable? Could it be that Rei-chan is the most normal person among them…?

“However, since my position as number one is unshakable, I wouldn’t mind lending him out for you two, my close friends, to let off some steam.” 

“Ooooiii, Rei-chan-sama!?” 

“You don’t need the ‘sama.’ But if Kazu-kun desires it…” 

“NO, I DO NOT DESIRE IT. I just said it without thinking.”

Because that was the feeling he got.

“Is that so? But Kazu-kun is prepared to have any perverted libido thrown at him, so don’t hold back.” 

“…” 

“What’s wrong? This is the part where you laugh. Laugh.”

He felt he could only manage a strained laugh… And why wouldn’t she just say “It’s a joke” about lending him to the two of them? The two besides Reika were also looking at Kazuhiko with suspicious eyes.

—Is this what they call ‘birds of a feather flock together’? I think the hypnosis app thing was Moeka’s idea and was passed unanimously, right? 

…Wait, was it a mistake for me to innocently follow these three?

It’s okay. This is a pancake shop. They should observe the time, place, and occasion.

“Well then, after we finish eating, shall we go somewhere where we can get more intimate?”

Why is Rei-chan suggesting that!?

“That sounds nice~. I might be getting a little excited.”

Why did Watatsumi-san puff out her chest and jiggled it? He couldn’t help but look.

“Yeah, that’s right…”

Tachibana was explicitly licking her lips.

—Why do I have to feel the fear of being eaten at a pancake shop?

Wasn’t there a story about being seasoned like this—”The Pancake Shop with Many Orders (Where for some reason, the customer is aggressively spoon-fed pancakes)”? Let’s devour you deliciously from the inside.

Hunter! Is there a skilled hunter among the customers, a hunter who can shoot sluts?! Or anyone who brought a butter dog to be vented on!

Birds of a feather flock together. These girls were different types of beautiful girls from Reika, and at the same time, they seemed to be different types of eccentrics.

—This is bad. Does this mean I’ve been targeted by a dangerous group? One that even Rei-chan struggles to handle… Ahem. A-All I need is Rei-chan…

” ” ” Fufufufu… ” ” “

Wait, why does Rei-chan also has that wicked smile? Kazuhiko was suspicious. It seemed there was no salvation here.
