(Chastity Reversed) The Legitimate Wife War: How I, a Harem-Hater, Ended Up Creating an Ultra-Eccentric Harem with a Villainess, a Sadistic Beauty Teacher, a Scheming Classmate... etc.

“It feels like it’s been a while since we’ve gone on a date together like this, just the two of us, Kyo-kun.”

Shiraishi-san walking beside me smiled softly.

Shiraishi-san’s outfit today was different from her usual white coat, and it looked really good.

She had achieved that perfect line between looking mature while not being too formal.

On top, she wore a beige sleeveless top paired with a long vest in a similar color, boldly showing off her shoulders that were usually hidden under her white coat. However, the vest prevented it from looking vulgar and instead gave her an elegant and light appearance.

Below, she wore black wide denim with sandals, not forgetting a refreshing touch.

Overall, I couldn’t stop feeling nervous about dating such a mature woman.

“Strangely, it does feel like it’s been a while since I’ve dated Shiraishi-san, though actually it hasn’t even been two months since our last date… Maybe it’s because so much has happened?”

So much really had happened.

Just when I thought I’d solved Sayaka-san’s problem, Rio-san’s problem immediately arose, followed by Shiraishi-san’s incident in connection. It had been an incredibly dense three months, and it still wasn’t over.

Glancing to the side, I noticed that Shiraishi-san, who had been walking with me, had stopped. Looking back, I saw that she was somehow puffing out her cheeks a little.

“Wh-what’s wrong, Shiraishi-san? Did you hurt your foot?”

“…That.”

“That?”

Which “that” was she referring to?

“The way you’re addressing me! …Shouldn’t it be different?”

The way I’m addressing her?

Being told that, I belatedly realized. That’s right, we had made a promise about when we’re alone.

“…Ah, Ayaka-san? Is that right?”

“Yes, we agreed to call each other by our first names when we’re alone, didn’t we?”

“You’re right… sorry, Ayaka-san.”

We had made such a promise before.

That was back when Shiraishi-san was still doing double-agent work and wasn’t truly dating Rio-san yet.

“Do you think I’m such an easy woman who would forgive you that simply, Kyo-kun?”

Ayaka-san looked at me with a slightly sullen gaze.

Even so, I didn’t know what I should do.

“Today’s date is different from before—it’s our first date as official fiancés, right? So the distance between us should be… you know?”

Shiraishi-san glanced at my hand.

Subtly, so as not to be too obvious.

Was this feminine psychology wanting me to say it first?

But I was grateful—she gave me such a clear hint. Unlike Mio-nee who would first make me think about it.

…Come to think of it, would this be okay?

Wouldn’t Rio-san kill me if she found out I held hands with her on a date?

Well, there’s no point worrying about it now.

I took Shiraishi-san’s slender hand and intertwined our fingers tightly.

The so-called lovers’ hold.

“So-so, I guess?”

During our previous date, it was Shiraishi-san who had initiated the hand-holding.

This time I was the one connecting us… well, I only managed it because Ayaka-san prompted me, but I still wanted to make Ayaka-san’s heart skip a beat a little.

I steeled myself and said,

“…Then let’s go on our date, Ayaka.”

I tried dropping the honorifics and calling her by name directly.

Ayaka-san looked a bit surprised, but immediately smiled and said,

“Yes, let’s go, Kyo.”

It seemed she didn’t dislike it.

She smiled gently and squeezed my hand back.

“Being called by my name by a younger boy isn’t bad either… but it would be embarrassing in front of everyone, so this is also just our secret for now.”

“What about Rio-san?”

“Of course it’s a secret… because that makes it more exciting, doesn’t it?”

“Just because it’s exciting…”

I couldn’t help but smile wryly, then immediately nodded.

So it’s our little secret. But that’s not bad.

“So, could you tell me soon where we’re heading?”

“We’re almost there, so it’s a surprise.”

Actually, I had planned today’s date.

In this world with many women, it’s apparently unusual for men to plan dates. Though come to think of it, even dating itself is unusual.

So this time, Ayaka doesn’t know what we’re going to do.

We’ve already arrived at our destination.

I entered the commercial facility with Ayaka. The facility we’re looking for is inside here.

“Oh, by the way, the swimsuit I asked you to bring… did you bring it?”

“Y-yes, I brought it just in case, but is there a pool here?”

Well, when you mention swimwear, you’d normally think of pools… but this time it’s different.

“You’ll understand when we get there—come on, let’s go?”

Taking Ayaka’s hand, I headed deeper inside and took the elevator up to our target floor.

When the elevator doors opened, we were greeted by a floor designed with a wood-grain motif, giving off a slight tropical resort feeling.

This was a facility where you could enjoy private baths and saunas, created under the concept of getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city and relaxing. The bathhouse even had a service where you could watch movies. It was a slightly luxurious establishment.

First, I checked in and entered a private room with the confused Ayaka-san.

“Here, I made a reservation for a private room, so let’s go together?”

“Y-yes.”

I forcibly led the bewildered Ayaka along.

“I’m already wearing mine underneath, so I’ll wait inside, okay?”

I quickly changed into my swimwear and hurriedly left the changing room without looking at her getting changed, entering the private room.

“Okay!”

A few minutes later, Ayaka came out having finished changing.

I almost fainted, to put it mildly.

“…How… do I look?”

“Um… very good.”

So underneath the clothes she was wearing earlier, such a lethal thing was hidden… If I were still a virgin, I probably would have fainted here from how amazing Ayaka-san’s body is.

“Oh? Did I seduce you? It’s not that flashy a swimsuit though.”

As Ayaka said, the swimsuit she was wearing now wasn’t very revealing. It was a one-piece type that didn’t even show cleavage.

Yet, her voluptuous bust pushed up the front of the swimsuit, unable to hide its volume, and being concealed by fabric somehow made it more risqué, giving a sense of hidden mystery.

“Amazing… just amazing!”

“Hehe, thanks. But Kyo-kun is dressed quite sexily too, isn’t he? You’re not covering your upper body—am I being seduced?”

“That’s not it… though if you asked whether I want to or not, I’d say I want to, but today’s purpose is different.”

“I wonder if that’s really true? By the way, I heard about what you did in PE class. You were probably trying to take the class shirtless with the same feeling as now, right?”

That did happen.

Back then, Tachibana-san frantically rushed over to cover me up.

But I’ve learned since then, so I properly wear a full-body swimsuit at school now. Though I hate that thing.

“Since it’s just you and me today, I thought this would be fine. Besides, a full-body swimsuit would make today’s purpose difficult.”

“Hmm, you talk like I’m safe… but I might devour you, you know?”

Ayaka-san licked her lips and showed a bewitching smile. I felt a shiver down my spine.

I was about to say “bring it on,” when—

“Well, I won’t… but if your purpose is something naughty, I’d have an excuse for Rio, so that would be fine. But your purpose for getting a private room is different, right?”

Come to think of it, getting a private bath room would actually make people more suspicious.

But unfortunately, that’s not it.

“It’s not that. I’m a wholesome, ordinary guy.”

Hey, Ayaka.

Don’t tilt your head at the “ordinary guy” part—I’m normal, completely normal. Let me get back on track and continue the conversation.

“Today’s purpose is hot spring therapy!”

“Hot spring therapy…?”

Why does she sound puzzled? You’re definitely someone who needs to rest, Ayaka.

“Both you and I just got injured recently… well, you were much more seriously hurt. So I thought it would be problematic to drag you around places, and it would be bad if your wounds reopened. So today’s date is about spending the whole day slowly enjoying baths and saunas to heal your fatigue and such… well, simply put, I want you to relax. I’ll leave if I’m in the way.”

Ayaka had returned to school work immediately after being discharged and seemed busy, so she probably hadn’t been able to rest.

I wanted to force her to relax. Though I also wanted to talk a little.

“You wouldn’t be in the way—though my heart might race. But a bath, huh… It’s true I can’t remember the last time I soaked slowly… Then shall we go in together?”

“I gratefully accept.”

“‘Gratefully,’ he says. You’re really happy too, aren’t you, Kyo?”

Well, it’s a bath with a beautiful woman, so of course I’m happy.

The round bath was built quite large, with enough space for two people to fully stretch their legs.

We rinsed our bodies with water first, then gently entered from our toes.

“Ahh… this feels so good.”

“The best.”

The hot water slowly enveloped our bodies.
