(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.

“A report?”

“Yes. I am sure your grandfather is worried about how Master is living, so presumptuous as it may be, I made a report.”

“F-For example?”

I’m kind of scared to ask. You didn’t report anything weird, right? We’ve done a lot of things, after all.

“That Master saved Sayaka-san, that you helped me, and that you saved Mizuri-chan. That you saved us. Since the time I have watched over you as a fiancée is short, I properly conveyed the half-year I watched over you as a teacher.”

She was being proper. They were the words of a mature woman.

“I told him that since he could not watch over you, we will watch over you together and live together from now on.”

Together. Rio-san’s casual word.

That is precisely why I feel the weight of Rio-san’s words. Because she had never said something like that to me before.

I unintentionally found myself unable to say anything.

So, the words I squeezed out were:

“…Thank you.”

After that, the two of us spent time slowly at the house.

We cleaned the house and talked about trivial things. We sat side-by-side on the sofa and listened to music.

Enjoying the taste of the coffee Rio-san brewed. Time flowed gently here, as if cut off from everything else.

“Surprisingly, this isn’t bad, is it? A house date.”

Rio-san smiled faintly as she said that. Her face looked somewhat wistful, which made it very beautiful.

“I wanted Master to spend some calm time.”

For my sake, huh.

Before I knew it, it was evening. It would be dark soon.

“Shall we head back soon?”

“…Before that, there is one place I want to stop by. Is that okay?”

“Yes, of course.”

I had Rio-san drive us up the mountain road. I remembered there was a small observation deck around here.

The altitude isn’t that high, and it’s not a famous spot. But surprisingly, you can see the stars well. A spot known only to us.

We got out of the car and walked a little further. From the open observation deck, countless stars could be seen.

There are few houses around here, so the stars are clearly visible. The stars of memories that the three of us used to watch long ago.

“We used to watch the stars here a lot in the past.”

“It is a place of memories for your family, isn’t it…”

“Yeah.”

“Was it alright to teach me such an important place?”

“Yeah. Somehow, I just wanted you to know about this place.”

I don’t know why. I just didn’t want to go home just like that. Because she prayed for my family? No, surely it’s not just that.

I wanted to immerse myself in the time with Rio-san a little longer. What should I call this frustrating feeling?

Maybe, surely, it is…

“The moon is beautiful today, too, isn’t it?”

I said these words before, didn’t I?

At my words, Rio-san opened her eyes slightly wide in surprise. Then, Rio-san smiled with a fufu, and said,

“The moon has always been beautiful. …However, the moon tonight seems a little more within reach than before, doesn’t it?”

Within reach, huh. Indeed. I’ve learned a lot more about Rio-san than before.

Her personality, her fetishes—I’ve learned various things. And knowing that, I am starting to be attracted to her.

As if to convey her feelings, Rio-san entwined her fingers with mine. As if accepting it, I squeezed back.

The distance between Rio-san and me naturally closed.

Today, again, I am breaking my promise to Grandpa. That promise to love only one person.

But the feeling that I cherish Rio-san is overflowing just as much as with Sayaka-san. I gently tucked her hair, which had fallen over her eyes, behind her ear.

She gently closed her eyes as if accepting it. It was like this before, too.

Back then she was crying, but today she is smiling gently. I held her shoulders and pulled her into a tight embrace.

Rio-san has been thinking about me all day today. She is thinking of me seriously. I don’t know what she sees in a guy like me, though.

I gently layered my lips onto hers. Rio-san’s thin lips.

A touching kiss. I desperately held back the urge to do more.

But.

“More.”

Rio-san’s eyes were slightly glazed over. She entwined her tongue with mine from her side.

If she does that, there’s no way my reason can stop. I greedily devoured her lips, our tongues intertwining.

Under the starry sky, we devoured each other’s lips. At the timing of taking a breath, saliva trailed a thread.

Her eyes shone seductively. Rio-san’s supple fingers caressed my chest and then moved downwards.

“…You are reacting to me properly, aren’t you?”
