Chapter 75: Everything is for the Better
Even though there had been an accident, a significant number of days had passed since the day I had expressed my gratitude to both of them.
From that day onward, my bond with them grew stronger. Particularly with Hisui, who finally had some time off work, she couldn’t stop smiling, much to Shirayuki’s dismay.
“Ah… I cut my finger thinking about Touma-kun. Well, it can’t be helped♪”
This was Hisui’s reaction when she cut her finger with a knife while cooking.
The cut was shallow, but it still bled quite a bit. Despite that, her smile never wavered, compelling me to retort,
“That definitely can be helped!”
“That definitely can be helped!”
Well, it wasn’t just me; Shirayuki felt the same.
It’s nice that she’s thinking about me, but it’s pointless if she ends up getting hurt. That’s the last thing I want.
“What are you thinking about?”
“Hisui.”
“…Muu, even though I’m right here next to you.”
Shirayuki puffed up her cheeks and looked away.
She looked so adorable that I apologized and hugged her tightly.
“Give me a kiss.”
“Alright.”
I complied with her request and kissed her.
School was already over, and I was enjoying my after-school date with Shirayuki. On reflection, it was inconsiderate of me to be pondering about Hisui when only Shirayuki was with me.
“It’s rather unusual for us to go on an after-school date like this.”
“True, now that you mention it.”
I nodded in agreement.
We usually spent time at home or went running together after school. So, an after-school date felt relatively fresh for both of us.
We ended up sitting on a park bench just after leaving school. I couldn’t help but wonder what the people passing by were thinking as they saw us cuddled up together.
(Most guys are probably jealous, but… I’ve gotten used to it by now.)
I no longer worry about jealousy, and I’ve also lost the fear of being glared at.
I mean, I’ve even had a close call with a man wielding a knife; compared to that, this is nothing.
Speaking of which, after the scandal exposing the company’s corruption and the subsequent uproar involving their son, Nikaido has entirely lost his footing in society. Hearing their name in the future will likely never carry a positive connotation.
“It’s almost November, isn’t it?”
“Yes, that means Shirayuki’s and my birthdays are coming up.”
“What are you planning for a birthday gift?”
“I’m also wondering what to get.”
It’s a curious feeling, discussing what would be the best birthday gift as both of our special days draw near. Well, there’s still time before that comes, so it’s alright for now.
As we enter November, the weather begins to grow colder, but today the sunlight remains strong, providing a rather pleasant warmth.
“Shirayuki, may I ask for a lap pillow?”
“Of course, please come.”
It sounds a bit risqué… No, that’s just me thinking too much into it.
With her permission, I lie down, looking up to meet her gentle gaze. Her soft, ample breasts, the smile of a beautiful girl gazing down at me, and the perfectly clear blue sky—it feels like heaven.
“Un!”
“Mou♪”
I playfully poked her chest, and Shirayuki accepted it with a soft smile.
We were in a park, where children were playing and their guardians were present, so we couldn’t get too carried away. However, simply lying with my head on her lap felt like we had entered our own world.
“It’s peaceful, isn’t it?”
“Yes, it is… after all we’ve been through.”
When I’m calm like this, memories from the past resurface vividly in my mind.
I recall the moment I arrived in this world as Arashi, overwhelmed by despair upon realizing I wasn’t the protagonist. However, Shirayuki noticed me, we became friends, and from that point on, we have shared countless joyful moments together.
We’ve even won peace, despite various malevolent forces against us.
“Shirayuki really is kind, cute… the best woman I’ve ever met.”
“What’s come over you? You’re gazing at me so tenderly.”
Whenever I spoke about such matters, she would respond with the same gentle expression.
Actually, a few days after the incident with Nikaido, Shirayuki told me about Kana.
Apparently, she had cheered up Kana, who seemed to be tormented by the ghost of Arashi.
Shirayuki clarified that she wasn’t trying to cheer her up; she simply couldn’t forgive Arashi for tormenting Kana so openly.
“Do you believe me?”
I nodded in response to her words.
Seeing a supposed ghost of Arashi, who shouldn’t even be here, is hard to believe.
But, if an entity like me can cross worlds, then such a paranormal occurrence isn’t too strange.
Besides, people like Shirayuki and Hisui, who somehow understand what I’m thinking to a certain extent, also seem to possess some unknown powers.
“You see, about your sister…”
“Yes.”
“As I said before, it’s no big deal. I just couldn’t help but interfere because of my lingering disgust for the past Arashi.”
…He’s really disliked, huh?
Nonetheless, I can only express my gratitude to her for accepting me despite our identical appearance. Typically, merely sharing the same appearance would trigger some form of repulsion, but they never displayed disdain in my presence.
“True, your appearances were the same, but the impression changes a lot when the person inside is different. I’ve always felt a sense of happiness being close to you. That’s how strong our feelings were.”
“I see… I see.”
“As of now, you are simply Touma-kun—although I must admit, I do miss the Touma-kun from a few months ago.”
“I get that. Losing some weight has made me a bit lonely too.”
Of course, my body is still on the larger side.
But I often miss the chubbiness… Well, on the flip side, I’ve gained some muscle, which is pretty evident when I look at my bare chest.
“By the way, can I say something I’ve been meaning to say for a while?”
“Huh? Yeah… what is it? I’m a little scared, though.”
“It’s nothing much. You see, we’ve been watching you since you were over there — I’ve been the dominant figure in those scenes, right?”
“!?”
Hey, wait a minute, don’t say more than that—
“Mom has lost many battles to me in that regard. But I’ve always thought, if I were by your side, I wouldn’t let you do such unnecessary things. Whether it’s emotionally or physically, I’d fully accept you. Heck, I could even use these favorite ‘assets’ to give you comfort.”
At her words, it was only natural for me to feel pleased but also ask her to stop.
After we continued our casual conversation, Shirayuki and I got up to head back home.
(…It’s peaceful in many ways. Really.)
I won’t say everything is perfect, but I truly believe that it is.
I have her by my side, and when I return home, I have Hisui, who showers me with an abundance of motherly love… Even though I’ve expressed my gratitude to them, I still haven’t completely repaid them for all they’ve done for me.
“…So, what would be best for us now?”
“Maybe a child?”
“Shirayuki-san!?”
I panicked. Having a child right now would undoubtedly overwhelm us.
Even if there were no financial concerns, the thought of having a child without any mental preparation is unimaginable.
Shirayuki seemed to understand this as she laughed and said it was a joke.
“Right now, just having you by my side is enough. That’s all Mom and I wish for.”
“I feel the same—let’s continue to be there for each other.”
“Yes, let’s do that.”
“Alright, let’s head back home then. If we stay out any later, Hisui might transform into a jealous succubus again.”
“Succubus transformation… that’s a unique way to put it.”
“It applies to you too, Shirayuki.”
“??”
It’s scary that she’s not even aware of it.
