The Kansai Villain’s Rebirth: I Accidentally Ended Up With a Harem. - Chapter 54: Natsume Shina Learns What Love Is.

Natsume Shina Learns What Love Is.

Natsume Shina’s POV.

…It was incredible. Just that one time, and I honestly thought I might lose my mind. My head kept flashing white, heat pooled low in my belly, and by the end the only thing coming out of my mouth was Dai-chan’s name—I’m not even sure I was saying it properly anymore. But my heart felt so full it was overflowing, and I think I was practically shouting from happiness… ugh, it’s so embarrassing…

It felt like a dream. Dai-chan told me he loved me. I love him too. We kissed, and then we made love for the first time. My chest was so full of joy I thought it would burst, and the feeling of loving Dai-chan just kept growing and growing. Whenever he whispered “I love you” in my ear, sparks exploded behind my eyes… and when he finally said “I love you” just once at the very end, it felt like my heart shattered into a million happy pieces.

Was that love? But Dai-chan said love isn’t just about sex. I still don’t really understand yet, so I won’t use the word “I love you” carelessly. I don’t know how to use it properly yet… but I’m pretty sure, when my heart burst like that, that was the moment I finally understood love.

“Shina-chan, are you feeling okay? Nothing hurts?”

“Mmm… I still kinda feel you inside…”

“W-well, just rest until evening, alright? Omurice for dinner sound good?”

“Dai-chan’s omurice!? Yes, yes, yes!”

“Then wanna hit Mikudo for lunch?”

“Yay! A Mikudo date ♡”

“Let’s head out in a bit, then.”

“Oka─y♪ Dai-chan, look! I’m wearing the purple underwear you picked out for me today ♡”

“H-hey! You’re not supposed to show me like that!”

“Ehehe~ okaaay♪”

Dai-chan is so cute even though he’s seen me completely naked ♪ I was super embarrassed too! But that moment really is special, isn’t it? The instant I put my underwear back on, the spell breaks—being naked feels embarrassing again, and even underwear feels embarrassing. Sex really is something extraordinary. Sharing that special moment with Dai-chan makes me so, so happy!

“Dai-chan, is that hamburger good?”

“Yeah, I love it. Want a bite?”

“Really? Then I’ll give you a bite of mine too!”

We traded burgers… but eating the part Dai-chan already bit into feels… kinda embarrassing… Ah, he just took a huge bite without hesitation! U-uwah! F-fine, I’ll eat it too!

“Nnh!? So good!”

“Right? I wish they’d make it a regular menu item. Yours is delicious too. I’ll order that next time. Hm? Shina-chan, your face is bright red.”

“Mou! Dai-chan, where’s your sense of delicacy!?”

“Eh, ehh…?”

I’m dying of embarrassment here… how is Dai-chan totally fine!? Boys are so weird! But we’re gonna keep doing things like this from now on, right? Eating after each other… I’ll get used to it eventually… Hehe, somehow that sounds fun too!

***

“Um, onions… chicken… eggs… Oh, Shi-chan, can you eat mushrooms?”

“Fueh!? Shi-chan!?”

“Was that bad? We’re dating now, so I thought it’d be okay to call you Shi-chan…”

“N-no, it’s good! Yes! Please call me Shi-chan!”

“Shi-chan.”

“Yes?”

“Can you eat mushrooms?”

“Hmm, I’m not sure… I’ll try!”

“Roger that. Then this goes in the cart… Shi-chan, you snuck a Choco Pie in there, didn’t you?”

“…Is that bad?”

“I’ll allow it.”

“Yay~! I love you, Dai-chan ♡”

It’s okay to be a little selfish sometimes, right? Dai-chan never gets mad ♡

***

“Dai-chan, let me carry half.”

“Wanna split it?”

“Yeah!”

If we’re going to be a family, we share everything half-and-half, right! I take one handle of the shopping bag. It’s a little sad we can’t hold hands, but this is our little family teamwork. Even just this makes my heart feel all warm. When I’m with Dai-chan, I can even forget yesterday’s awful stuff with Papa and Mama.

More than anything, the fact that Dai-chan and I became one makes me happy. Just walking beside him makes me happy. Just talking with him makes me happy.

“Shi-chan, you’re in a great mood.”

“Yep! Super great mood!”

As we walked along the main street…

Click

“Eh?”

“…? Shi-chan, what’s wrong?”

“…I swear I just heard a camera shutter…”

“Seriously? Where?”

“I don’t know… maybe around that corner…?”

“Shi-chan, hold this for a sec.”

Dai-chan went to check where the sound came from, but…

“No one there.”

“Maybe I imagined it?”

“…We should probably stay a little careful, just in case.”

“Yeah…”

Nothing else strange happened on the way home, but… what was that? It’s kind of scary.

***

Later, while we were pointlessly kissing and cuddling in the living room, I suddenly asked something that had been on my mind.

“Hey, Dai-chan. You’re not going to make Mio-chan and Rin-chan your girlfriends too?”

“Pfft!?”

Dai-chan spat out his tea.

“T-that’s… a hell of a thing to suddenly ask…”

“I mean, of course I want to be with you the most, Dai-chan. But if Mio-chan and Rin-chan were with us too, I think we’d all be even happier.”

“That… might be true, but… how do Mio-san and Rinko-san feel about it…?”

“It’s fine! Both Mio-chan and Rin-chan love you a ton!”

“PFFFTTTTT!!!”

He spat his tea again. Is he okay? Both of them told me they love Dai-chan. They said if they could be his girlfriend, they would. So if I’m the only one who gets to be his girlfriend, that feels like cheating, right? No way! If we’re all going to be happy, then Mio-chan and Rin-chan have to be included too!

“No way, even Rinko-san…?”

“Rin-chan has never, ever let any other boy call her by her first name. You’re the only one she lets call her Rinko. Mio-chan loves being spoiled, but she’s terrible at spoiling someone else herself. So I want you to spoil her a lot.”

“I… see…”

“What about you, Dai-chan? How do you feel about Mio-chan and Rin-chan?”

“…I like them… both of them.”

“Then it’s totally okay for you to have two more girlfriends!”

“It’s just a matter of timing, I guess…”

“Yep yep! Then I’ll be even happier! You’ll be happier! Everyone will be happy!”

Then the four of us will go to college together, get married together! We’ll all become papas and mamas together! Isn’t that what a family full of “love” looks like? I want to learn even more about love. Teach me lots and lots, Dai-chan.

“I want the four of us to have fun forever. So I’ll work hard at studying… and housework too!”

“Everyone around me is already so good at studying and cooking. You’ll pick it all up little by little. Talking things out with everyone is important. I’ve gotta work hard too so I can properly date Mio-san and Rinko-san.”

“I’m sure they’ll say yes right away! Oh, but we still have to tell them that you and I are dating!”

“I’m counting on you for that, Shi-chan. Of course I’ll say it too if they ask…”

“Nihihi~♪ I can’t wait for the day all three of us become Dai-chan’s girlfriends!”

“Just… be patient, okay…”

Alright! I have to convince Mio-chan and the others so Dai-chan can date them too! I’ll do my best! Goal: all three of us become Dai-chan’s brides!

***

The omurice Dai-chan made was insanely delicious! I never knew omurice could taste this good! The egg was so fluffy… the chicken rice was perfect. Dai-chan’s cooking is so good I end up eating way too much. W-what if I get fat and he hates me!? Gotta watch the portions!

After being treated to the best dinner ever, it was time for me to go home. But I’m not sad at all. Because my heart and Dai-chan’s are connected now. So I said it the same cheerful way I always do.

“Dai-chan, see you tomorrow! Mwah~”

“Shi-chan’s totally addicted to kissing now, huh.”

“Mmm! It’s affection, right? So I wanna do it every day!”

“Well… not in public, okay?”

“Oka─y! Ehehe, Dai-chan, see you tomorrow!”

“Yeah, see you tomorrow.”

He walked me home. No one’s there, but that old lady’s smell still lingers… But it’s okay! Because Dai-chan will always be with me!
