The Kansai Villain’s Rebirth: I Accidentally Ended Up With a Harem. - Chapter 101: Akitani Mio, Spending Time with Her Boyfriend.

Akitani Mio, Spending Time with Her Boyfriend.

Akitani Mio’s POV.

Today is the day Daiki-kun is coming over!

My heart is pounding with excitement as I sit in front of the mirror, carefully applying the makeup Mom taught me.

“Mio, you’re still young, so don’t ruin your skin with anything heavy, okay? Just a little is enough. Yes, exactly that much eyeshadow! Use a healthy-toned lipstick to make your lips look plump and glossy, then make Daiki-kun kiss you♪”

“Y-yes!”

Mom says this is the exact look she used to melt Dad into a puddle when they were young. A touch of blush… a swipe of lipstick… Whoa, I barely recognize myself. I look… different. Will Daiki-kun still like me like this? I want to make him just as dizzy with love as Mom made Dad…

“Perfect! You’re breathtaking right now, Mio…! With this, Daiki-kun will fall head over heels. You’re practically a little succubus! Be bold, go on the offensive!”

“Y-yes, Mom!”

But… Mom and Dad are both going to be home! There’s no way I can seduce him with them watching…! Ugh… If anything, I wish I could go to Daiki-kun’s place instead and spend the night, just the two of us, all lovey-dovey… W-what am I even thinking!? Does that make me… perverted? But… that first night we spent together… I don’t want to do it with anyone else, ever. That night was so perfect, so tender… he took care of me so gently, thoroughly… I was so happy I thought my heart would burst. If I ever had to part from Daiki-kun… I don’t think I could keep living. No, I know I couldn’t.

“Come on, let’s wait for your prince to arrive! To arms!”

“Yeah!”

I have no idea what “to arms” is supposed to mean in this situation, but I’m ready!

“Mio, Kaede, both of you calm down a little.”

Dad gently scolded us…

***

Ding-dong.

The moment the doorbell rang, I bolted to the front door. I flung it open and there he was—my beloved Daiki-kun.

“Daiki-kun! Welcome!”

“Hey, Mio-chan. Happy New Year. Whoa… your makeup is on point today, too. You’re cute even bare-faced, but when you put on makeup? You transform.”

“E-eh!? Does it… not suit me?”

“Nah, that’s not what I meant. ‘Transform’ as in you become drop-dead gorgeous. If you walked down the street like this, every guy would turn to stare.”

“Eeeek!? I-I don’t want anyone except you looking at me like that… I only want your eyes on me, Daiki-kun…”

“I’m not letting anyone else have you. You’re my girlfriend, after all.”

“Kyaa!?”

He suddenly pulled me into his arms. “My girlfriend”… he said it…! That’s right… I belong to Daiki-kun…! Ehehe… Hearing him say that makes my heart feel like it’s going to explode with happiness.

“Oh my, oh my~ So lovey-dovey! Perfect, perfect! This is exactly the happiness I wanted to see on my daughter’s face! Right, dear?”

“Mom, please calm down.”

“Keigo-san, Kaede-san, it’s been a while. Happy New Year! Please take care of me again this year. Oh, this is a cheesecake from that famous ‘Rokuro-ojisan’ place in Osaka.”

“Happy New Year, Tennouji-kun. Please continue to look after my daughter as well.”

“Happy New Year, Daiki-kun! Take good care of Mio this year too, okay? And thank you so much for the souvenir…”

As expected of Daiki-kun—he’s so proper and thoughtful in moments like this. He really doesn’t feel like a high-schooler at all… Wait.

“An Osaka souvenir…?”

“Yeah. I ordered it online so it’d arrive today. I’m from Kansai, so I figured I should bring something from home.”

“Ahaha, how thoughtful! Come on in! Let’s dig into the osechi!”

“Thank you for having me~”

“If you’re gonna be a nuisance, go home~”

“D-Dad!?”

“Keigo-san…! That comeback… magnificent!”

“Hahaha, I figured the classic response was necessary.”

“Daaad, you scared me!”

“I thought it was the perfect dad joke.”

So that’s how the exchange is supposed to go. I’ll remember it for next time. Hehe, the house suddenly feels so lively!

“Here we go~ The osechi that Mio and I made together! There’s tons, so eat up!”

“Whoa… this is incredible… so luxurious!”

“We knew Daiki-kun was coming, so we went all out♪”

“Which ones did you make, Mio-chan?”

He picks mine first…! Ehehe, Daiki-kun is so sweet… I’ll let him taste my proudest creation.

“My masterpiece is this one! Candied chestnuts! Here, say ‘ahh~’”

“Ahh~”

“W-well…!?”

“Delicious! This is your masterpiece!? It’s insane! The sweetness is perfect… gimme another bite!”

“Fufu, here you go~ Ahh~♪”

“Mmm… mmm… so good… so good… oh no, I’m gonna cry…”

“Wah! Don’t cry~!”

He actually teared up… He says it’s that good… I’m so glad. All that effort was worth it. Hearing Daiki-kun say it’s delicious makes me the happiest girl alive. I’ve been drowning in happiness ever since New Year’s began. This time last year I was shoved into a packed shrine visit and came home exhausted, but now… ever since I met Daiki-kun, every day feels like a blessing. Mom is beaming as she watches us. Dad… is drinking beer, but his glass is trembling for some reason…?

“Here! Next is the red shrimp! Mom taught me how to make the dashi from scratch!”

“Ugh… so good… the broth is soaked in perfectly…”

“Nfufu~ Getting to see my daughter this happy right at the start of the year! Honey!”

“Haha, you’re right. Tennouji-kun, want a beer?”

“Dad! Don’t try to turn Daiki-kun into a delinquent!”

“Whoops, scary, scary. Looks like Tennouji-kun might end up hen-pecked like me someday… hahaha!”

“My my, is that so~? Nfufu♪ Hey, Kei-kun, how about we take a bath together tonight? Let’s, let’s♡”

“Y-yes, dear.”

Hehe, Mom and Dad are still so in love. I want to take a bath with Daiki-kun again, too… washing each other’s backs… soaking in the tub together… just talking about silly little things while our bodies and hearts grow warm… Ugh… I want to stay over so badly… I want to be alone with Daiki-kun and cuddle all night…

“Um… Keigo-san, Kaede-san… may I ask something?”

“Daiki-kun?”

“What is it?”

“On the sixth, I’m planning to take Mio-san on a date… and, well… would it be all right if she stayed over at my place that night?”

“Ma—!”

“Daiki-kun!?”

“U-um… well, if Mio is okay with it…”

“I am! I want to stay over at Daiki-kun’s house!”

Daiki-kun…! Did he read my mind!? That’s incredible! We’re totally in sync! Ehehe, I love him so much♡

“Of course it’s okay! Mio, we’ll do your makeup perfectly for the date! Kei-kun! How about we make it a date night for us too that day? Nfufufu… nfufufufufu♡”

“H-haha…”

Mom’s eyes are sparkling a little scarily, but… yes! I’ll put on even more beautiful makeup! I’ll become a girl worthy of being Daiki-kun’s girlfriend! And then… I’ll let him dye me completely in his color. I’ll choose clothes… and underwear… that he’ll love seeing on me, and reveal them to him that night! Uwaa… I’m so excited I could burst!

“Ehehe, Daiki-kun! I’m looking forward to the sixth!”

“Yeah. Getting to go on a date with a girl as cute as you makes me the luckiest guy alive…”

“Ehehe, I’ll do my makeup perfectly, so look forward to it♡”

“I am. It’ll be fun to shock Momodani and the others, won’t it?”

“Ah! That sounds perfect! Kana-chan’s jaw is gonna drop…!”

“Okay, okay, save the date planning for later and try some cheesecake~”

The cheesecake Daiki-kun brought is heavenly… He really has impeccable taste. I still can’t believe this gentle, wonderful boy used to be a “delinquent”…

“Here, Mio-chan, say ‘ahh’”

“Fweh!? Ahh~♪”

No way. There’s just no way. Spending New Year’s with someone this kind and amazing… this is the best possible start to the year! And the cheesecake fed to me by Daiki-kun… is the most delicious thing in the world♪
