The S-Class Beautiful Sisters at My New School Somehow Got Super Attached to Me and Ended Up Becoming Yandere Without Me Even Realizing It

Chapter 78

“Good work today.”

When I stepped into the clubroom, Mizuki-san and Yuzuki-san were sitting on chairs a little apart from each other, and both turned to look at me at the same time.

“Good work, Tendou-kun.”

“Good work, Tendou-kun. You sure took your time.”

“Sorry I’m late. Uh…”

“Have you got an answer?”

I had no idea where to even start, but Mizuki-san spoke up first.

Her eyes looked strong, like she’d braced herself for whatever came next.

While I was holding my breath, Yuzuki-san said,

“Come sit here.”

She pointed to a chair set kinda diagonally in front of Mizuki-san.

“Y-yeah.”

I sat down nervously, and Yuzuki-san grabbed her chair and moved it closer to Mizuki-san’s.

Now it felt like I was interviewing them—or maybe they were interviewing me. Either way, I was facing both of them head-on.

“Alright, Tendou-kun. Let’s do this properly today.”

“Uh, Mizuki-san…”

“What? You gonna say I’m your favorite after all?”

“N-no, that’s—”

“Hey, Mizuki, let him talk.”

Yuzuki-san shot her a glare from the side. Mizuki-san just went, “Fine, fine,” and shut her mouth, staring at me.

Then Yuzuki-san slowly turned my way too.

Looking at both their faces, I finally made up my mind.

“…So, uh, first I’ve got something I wanna say to both of you.”

The second I started, my heart started pounding like crazy.

I could barely breathe, and my whole body felt hot.

They just kept staring at me.

“I’m really, really glad I got to know both of you. Mizuki-san, you gave me this goal of writing novels. Yuzuki-san, you showed me fun stuff like bowling and all these worlds I never knew about. And it’s not just that… uh, I’m bad at saying this, but… being with you two is seriously so much fun.”

Mizuki-san gave a quiet nod right there and said, “Me too. I’m glad I met you, Tendou-kun.”

“Y-yeah. And the writing we started to keep the clubroom… I wanna keep doing it even if the clubroom ends up gone someday. Writing’s really fun right now. I wanna keep going forever.”

This time Yuzuki-san murmured, “So that’s why…”

I turned to her and kept talking.

“Yuzuki-san, about why I hated sports… I’m only saying this now, but it wasn’t because I was bad at them from the start.”

“Huh? Really?”

“That story you told me the other day about middle school… I got it so much. Back in third grade of elementary, I joined the baseball team. But I got bullied by classmates, got yelled at by upperclassmen… it sucked so bad I quit right away. I started thinking, why does sports have to be all about fighting with people? That’s when I started hating anything athletic.”

I’d never told anyone this before.

Not even my parents.

But I really wanted Yuzuki-san to know.

“Oh… sorry. I kept dragging you into stuff without knowing that.”

“No, it’s the opposite. Seeing how much fun you were having made me think maybe sports aren’t so bad. Like bowling—it’s competitive, sure, but it’s also a battle with yourself. There’s that kinda way to enjoy it too.”

“…You could’ve told me yesterday.”

“W-well, I wanted to, but then you suddenly said you like me, and…”

I got all embarrassed saying it. Yuzuki-san’s cheeks went red too, and she looked away.

“…A-anyway, thanks to you, Yuzuki-san, I got over that old trauma. So I wanna keep bowling with you, and if there’s other stuff, I wanna learn that too.”

Then Mizuki-san murmured, “So you feel that way about Yuzuki…” and looked down.

“…I…”

I tried to keep going but choked up for a second.

Mizuki-san glanced up at me, looking a little scared.

Yuzuki-san squeezed her eyes shut and bowed her head.

I had no idea if I should even say this.

I didn’t know if this was the “answer” Mizuki-san wanted.

But this was the absolute best I could come up with right now.

“I… like both of you.”

The second the words left my mouth, both of them snapped their heads up.

Their eyes went wide, staring at me.

They looked like they were about to say something, but I cut them off.

“W-wait, no—just hear me out. I know this sounds super convenient, or like I’m messing around, and I’ve been stressing about that forever… but honestly, I still can’t pick one of you.”

Not “I won’t pick.”

I really couldn’t.

Maybe that’s just me being weak.

“Mizuki-san, I wanna keep talking novels with you forever, worrying over stories together. Yuzuki-san, I wanna keep bowling with you and learn all kinds of outdoorsy stuff. Right now I just wanna learn a ton from both of you, experience all kinds of things with both of you. But if you say that’s not okay, then I’ll accept that too. That’s how I’m saying this.”

When I finished, my heart felt like it was gonna jump out of my chest.

There’s no way they’d accept such a wishy-washy answer.

Both of them got up the courage to confess to me, and here I am going “I like both and can’t choose.”

I know I’m the biggest jerk saying it.

So I was ready for Mizuki-san to shut me down cold or Yuzuki-san to slap me or whatever.

“…So you’re saying ‘for now’?”

But Mizuki-san asked it surprisingly calm.

“…Yeah, of course I’m gonna think about both your feelings and give a real answer eventually. I know there’s no guarantee you’ll still like me by then, but I wanna face both of you properly. I don’t know when, but I’ll… I’ll give you both a proper answer.”

That was my absolute best “answer” right now.

Then Yuzuki-san said in a quiet, kinda shaky voice,

“…That’s fine with me.”

“Yuzuki-san…”

“I-I never wanted an answer right this second anyway. Like you, Tendou-kun, I still wanted to do a bunch of stuff together as three. So thinking today one of us would get picked made me super anxious. The thought of not being picked hurt… but even if I got picked, we couldn’t stay as three. So right now, your answer’s enough for me.”

She smiled, but her eyes were a little shiny with tears.

Seeing that made my own eyes sting, and then—

“If that’s your answer right now, then I guess we can’t help it.”

Mizuki-san said it in her usual calm way.

“I can tell you thought really hard about this, and honestly, what made me happiest was you saying straight up that you like both of us. So that means you like me too, right?”

“Y-yeah… of course I like you.”

“But you’ve got a super charming little sister too, so you can’t choose. That about it?”

“…Yeah, pathetic as it sounds.”

“No, I’m happy. Knowing you care that much about the most important little sister in the world to me. So from this moment, we’re mutual, right?”

Mizuki-san’s big eyes locked onto mine.

“Uh, well… yeah, I guess if you put it that way.”

“I like you, you like me—so that’s what it is. Yeah, that’s fine for now. But I hate the idea of being mutual with someone I like and not dating, or not knowing when the answer’s coming. So let’s set a deadline.”

“Deadline? Uh, like what?”

“When your novel wins an award. I think that’d be a good milestone. When that happens, you absolutely pick one of us. Or, y’know, pick me.”

“Hey, don’t just steer it your way!” Yuzuki-san jumped in.

Mizuki-san just giggled, “Oops, caught?”

“…Got it. When that happens, I’ll give a proper answer.”

“Good, I’m counting on it. Anyway, since you wanna keep things as three for a while… no, even more than before—let’s have fun as three.”

Mizuki-san stretched up high, then let out a little sigh like she was finally relaxing.

Seeing that, I finally let my shoulders drop a bit too.

“…Sorry, seriously. But hearing you say that makes me really happy right now. Uh, so what now?”

“No club today, obviously. And I wanna talk to Yuzuki about some stuff, so can you head home first, Tendou-kun?”

“Oh, yeah. Got it.”

I stood up and started gathering my stuff.
