The Old Man Is Being Shared by Three Gyarus?! ~An Ordinary Salaryman Is Adored by Energetic, Beautiful Gyarus, and His Daily Life With Gyarus Begins Now!~ - 144-145

Chapter 144: Of Course, I Got Yelled At…

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“You want us to approve of you dating all four of them…? You sure have the nerve to say that so boldly… You four-timing bastard…”

Slowly rising to his feet, her father radiated a fierce intensity. His voice carried a terrifying edge to it.

“You know full well that my daughter and her friends will end up miserable… And you think a parent is just gonna say, ‘Oh, okay then’ and give their blessing?”

“N-No, I would never… I swear it won’t make anyone unhappy…”

“My husband is right. Right now, they may be enjoying themselves as a close-knit group of friends. But eventually, you’ll have to choose just one of them… Surely you can imagine how painful that will be for the three who aren’t chosen, can’t you, Nagumo-san?”

“You’re absolutely right… That’s why, I’m hoping all five of us can live together for the foreseeable future…Ah, of course, only if your daughters are willing.”

“Well, I figured you’d say that. It’d be a shame to leave anyone out.”

“Right! Exactly!”

“I see… That option was on the table, huh? If that’s the case, no one has to end up hurt.”

“That’s what I’m saying!”

What incredibly understanding parents!

“We hope to build a happy household with the five of us!”

I spoke with firm conviction.

“I see…”

“So that’s what you’re thinking…”

Their parents smiled as they exchanged glances, though their expressions felt just a little forced.

“Dear? Did I just hear this guy say something completely nonsensical like, ‘I want all five of us to live together’? I wonder if it was just me that heard that?”

“My, what a coincidence! I also thought I heard something utterly ridiculous like, ‘I want to build a happy home with the five of us.’ I mean, it must be just my imagination, right?”

Wait a minute?

Still smiling, her parents slowly turned their faces back toward me and for some reason, their eyes went wide with shock.

“What the hell are you talking about!?”

“What are you saying!?”

Wait, huh? This isn’t the reaction I was expecting… 

Before I knew it, I was being scolded.

“Listen up, Nagumo-san! You say you want to live together with all five, like it’s something so simple! But this isn’t the same as just sharing an apartment with some friends!”

Her usually gentle mother raised her voice, clearly upset.

“Starting a family means taking responsibility for someone else’s life! Can you support four women by yourself for the rest of your life!?”

“Th-That’s… Well…”

“And if children are born, you’ll have to take responsibility for them too! Raising kids costs money! In our case, my husband is a civil servant, so—”

“Wait, h-he’s a civil servant!?”

With that look!?

“Hah? You got a problem with that?”

“N-No, not at all…”

Crossing his arms, her father glared at me like a yakuza boss. No matter how you looked at it, he seemed like the kind of guy who threatened public safety, not protected it.

“I’m in the Regional Affairs Division at City Hall. I’m working every day to help the citizens live comfortably.”

He pointed to a scar on his temple.

“This scar here? Got it while capturing a stray monkey.”

A m-monkey…?

Next, he rolled up his sleeve to show off a muscular arm.

“This one is from when I protected a rookie cop from a charging wild boar.”

A w-wild boar!? Wait, you were the rescuer!?

“T-That sounds like an incredibly tough job…”

No, this guy is basically a brawler!

“Sometimes I get called to the front desk to deal with troublesome citizens… You know, the ones who engage in customer harassment… or something like that.”

“I-I see…”

Yeah, faced with that face and this kind of presence, I bet even the most belligerent customer would go silent…

“Nagumo-san? May we get back to the main topic?”

“O-Oh. Right. I’m sorry…”

Chastised gently by her mother, I shrugged my shoulders. Her tone was somewhat softer than before.

“My husband works at City Hall, and while our income isn’t low, it’s still a challenge to raise just two kids. Nagumo-san, are you really capable of providing for four wives and all the children that may come along?”

“Th-That’s…”

I dropped my gaze, at a loss for words.

The only reason the idea of communal life was even possible was thanks to the strong support from President Yotsuba. There was no way I could pull it off on my own. Thinking about that, I couldn’t possibly answer them confidently with a resounding “yes.”

Seeing my silence, her father let out a disappointed sigh.

“Yeah, it’s impossible, right? A regular office worker couldn’t make that kind of life work. Just give up on this multi-girlfriend marriage idea.”

“Exactly. It might take some time, but you’ll have to choose just one. And when that happens, of course you’ll choose Misaki—”

“Why are you both bullying Ossan!?”

Tears welled in Misaki-san’s eyes as she appealed to her parents. She gripped my hand tightly, silently encouraging me not to give up.

Chapter 145: The Ppai-manist’s Right Hand Uncovers the Truth!

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Why are you both bullying Ossan!?”

Sitting beside me, Misaki-san tightly gripped my hand and tearfully appealed to her parents.

“We’re n-not bullying him or anything…”

“That’s right, Misaki. Your father and I are just saying that, realistically speaking, it would be difficult for all four of you to live together.”

“What’s wrong with it?! Everyone loves each other, so what’s wrong with all of us getting married!? And it’s not even polygamy, it’s called a share marriage!!”

“Share marriage!?”

“Did she just say a share marriage!?”

Stunned by their daughter’s outrageous declaration, both parents were left speechless.

“…W-why don’t we take a little break?”

“…Y-yes, let’s do that.”

“I’ll make some more tea.”

With a stiff smile, Misaki’s mother stood up and headed to the open kitchen connected to the dining room. Still looking dissatisfied, Misaki crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair.

“Besides! Ossan is not a normal office worker! He’s a super salaryman! Kaede-san even praised him like, ‘Wow, that’s amazing that Mune-mune recognized you!’ She was super impressed!”

“Wait, who the heck is Mune-mune!?”

Misaki proudly relayed this to her father. But yeah, maybe I should be prouder that I was recognized by the head of a major corporation. 

Gaining the support of someone influential is a form of talent in itself.

Thinking that, I couldn’t help but smile.

“What’re you grinning about, you Four-Timing Bastard?”

“Ah, sorry.”

I suddenly felt more confident. Now was the time to reveal to her father that we had President Yotsuba as a powerful ally!

“The truth is! The five of us actually have a very reliable supporter—”

Just as I started to say that, I noticed Misaki’s mother searching for something in the kitchen.

“That’s strange… I thought I had a spare bag of tea leaves somewhere…”

Tilting her head in thought, Misaki’s mother began searching the hanging cabinets. Standing on a small step stool and stretching up, she seemed slightly unsteady. Concerned, I stood up from my seat and walked toward the kitchen.

“Um, may I help you?”

As she stretched her feet beneath her long skirt to peer into the cabinet, she turned only her face toward me.

“Oh, Nagumo-san. No need to worry. Please relax and—”

Just as she said that, she let out a small “Oh?” and suddenly swayed. It looked like she lost her balance on the stool.

“Whoa—!”

I rushed over and caught her in my arms as she fell.

“Ouffuu~♡”

My right hand had landed squarely on her left breast. I had grabbed Misaki’s mother’s boob. Even after having two children, her chest was still full and round, soft like a cushion… 

Wait, isn’t this too soft? It feels… It feels hollow somehow.

My left hand was definitely touching her ample bust, but I didn’t feel the firm weight that should be there.

Could it be?

Having regularly snuck past the JK Police to grope natural H and I cups, I, a seasoned specialist of the breast world—a “Ppai-manist”—knew the feel of real boobs like no one else.

This is a fake.

“…Nagumo-san?”

“Ah, I’m so sorry!?”

Lost in my stupid thoughts, I had left my hand there for way too long. What the hell was I doing? I quickly pulled my hand away and bowed my head in apology.

“I swear it wasn’t on purpose!?”

“I know. I’m not bothered at all that you touched me. In fact, I’m grateful you caught me.”

SAFE……!!

“I’m just glad you weren’t hurt, ma’am. …Ah, I’ll look for the tea leaves myself!”

I took over and began checking the cabinet. …Phew, thank goodness she wasn’t angry about the accidental grab. As for the recently discovered “bulk padding” situation… Well, she must had her own reasons. I had to keep that secret safely tucked away inside my heart. 

In my heart, and on her chest!

“Hmm. It doesn’t seem to be here. Shall we check the next cabinet over?”

“…Um, Nagumo-san?”

Just as I moved to the side, she grabbed my arm.

Ouch!?

Despite her delicate fingers, her grip dug into my skin with incredible strength.

What’s going on!?

I looked at her in confusion, and Misaki’s mother smiled sweetly at me.

“…You realized, didn’t you?”

“R-realized what…?”

“Don’t play dumb. You know exactly what I’m talking about, don’t you?”

A shadow fell over her smiling face. 

Ah, this… This is definitely about the ‘bulk padding’…

“Um…”

“You realized, didn’t you?”

She leaned in close. Her smiling pressure was overwhelming…

“Uhh…”

Before I knew it, I had reflexively looked away.

“…I see. Then this way, please.”

“Ah, wait!?”

Misaki’s mother turned around, let go of my arm, and started walking toward the door while pulling me along.

“Huh? Mom, where are you going?”

“Nagumo-san said he needed to use the restroom, so I’m going to show him the way.”

“Huh? But the bathroom is right there?”

“I just thought I’d take care of a few errands while I’m up. Ohohohohohohoho.”

Covering her mouth with her hand, she gave this strange response to her curious daughter and quickly dragged me out into the hallway. She then shoved me into the changing room.

“…Ufufufufufufu.”

Looking down at me as I landed on the floor with a thump, Misaki’s mother smiled ominously.

“It’s your fault, Nagumo-san. You found out my secret.”

With her eyes slightly open for once, she closed the door behind her with a faint grin. I had just been smoothly locked in. 

…This is bad.

“L-let’s calm down for a moment… I’m sure we can talk this out…”

“Oh, I am calm. That’s exactly why I made sure the two of us could be alone—like this!!”

“—!!?”

With a dangerous glint in her eyes, she lunged toward me in one swift motion.

I’m gonna get assaulted!?

But in the next instant, she grabbed my jacket collar and pleaded with tears in her eyes.

“Please don’t tell Misaki about thissssss!!”

…Wait, what the hell is going on here!?
