The Story of a Man Who Vowed to Not Let Any Man Come Between Yuri, Only to Find Himself Caught in Between Them - Chapter 21: The Maze You Can't Escape From

Chapter 21: The Maze You Can’t Escape From

“Here, please take this~”

“Yes, thank you for your purchase.”

On my day off, I decided to visit a sweets shop near the station early in the morning. I had promised to visit Yuka and Mai’s house, so I thought of buying a cake as a souvenir.

“I didn’t bring anything the last time I came here, so I thought it was important to bring something this time.”

Although it was a simple idea, I believed that the form of the gift was significant. Besides, who doesn’t like cake?

After purchasing the cake, I left the shop. Even though we agreed to meet around 10:30 am, I feared I might be late since it was already that time. Therefore, I decided to send them a message to inform them that I might be a little late as I didn’t want them to worry.

“I might be running late, so I’ll try to run without ruining the cake.”

Despite carefully running to their apartment building, I was still 20 minutes late from the agreed time. However, having visited their apartment before, I confidently made my way towards their room. As soon as I rang the intercom, Mai quickly came out to greet me.

“You’re so late!!”

“Whoa!?”

Mai hugged me tightly with a loud thud. Instead of feeling surprised or embarrassed, my first instinct was to protect the cake by placing it on top of my head.

(I’m worried about the cake in this situation… have I grown up a bit?) I thought to myself, but I couldn’t help but wonder what kind of “growth” that was. Nonetheless, I followed Mai into the apartment.

“Welcome back, Sakuya-kun!”

“Hey, sorry for being late… and here’s the cake.”

“Wow! Thank you♪”

Her genuine expression made me smile too. As I walked towards the living room, Yuka opened the door and hugged me tightly.

“Oh, hey…”

“You’re late…you’re really late.”

“…ah~”

Huh, why am I being embraced like this? I felt a strange warmth and softness against my body, which I had felt before when Mai hugged me, but this time it felt like I was dreaming.

(No, no, stop having weird expectations… being embraced like this… no, no, I’m a guy, this is impossible, impossible, Charrrrrrrrrrrrr!!)

I took a deep breath to calm myself down. This was their way of showing concern and kindness, even though I was late. They were truly caring friends.

“Um, should we eat the cake already?”

“No, it’s still too early, it’s almost lunchtime.”

“Yeah, that’s right. Then I’ll put it in the fridge, let’s eat it around three o’clock.”

While Mai put the cake in the fridge, Yuka pulled me closer and I sat down on the sofa.

“Hehe, Sakuya-kun♪”

“…!”

She hugged me tightly, pressing her curves against me more than before. I was surprised at how strong she was, and I couldn’t help but wonder why she was doing this.

“Yuka?”

“What is it?”

“…could you let go of me—”

“No♪”

She quickly rejected my request.

The sofa we were sitting on was quite large, and there was enough space on my other side for someone to sit. I couldn’t believe it when Mai came back, took my free arm without saying a word, and snuggled up to me just like Yuka did.

(…Is this really happening? Maybe I’m still sleeping…could this be a happy dream that God has gifted me before getting scolded by these two for being late?) I thought to myself at a rapid pace, but the unmistakable feeling of their warm bodies against mine made me realize that this was indeed happening.

My heart started beating faster, and I became nervous that they might even hear the sound of my heart pounding, “Thump-thump”.

“Are you feeling nervous?”

“Hahaha, your face is turning red, Sakuya-kun♪”

“Ugh…”

I couldn’t believe I found myself in this situation. I’m just a lowly knight who protects the Yuri and oversees the Yuri Garden. How did I end up sandwiched between these two individuals?

I’ve heard that a man caught between yuri is as good as dead. If I were to die, perhaps everything would be peaceful. With that thought, I found myself wondering, 

“…Would it be better if I died?”

“No you can’t.”

“That’s not true.”

Suddenly, they hugged me even tighter. I felt like my soul was about to be sucked out, or that I might lose consciousness. What was happening?

If someone were to tell me that this is what close male and female friends do nowadays, I might have to accept it. But even I know that this kind of thing is impossible. However, I also know that these two individuals don’t have romantic feelings for me, so I really don’t understand what’s going on.

“Oh, right. Hey, Yuka, why don’t you show him right away?”

“That’s a good idea. Come on, Sakuya-kun, let’s go.”

“Huh?”

Confused, I got up and followed the two of them to another room. It appeared to be their bedroom, complete with a spacious bed that could easily fit three people.

“Let’s lock the door.”

Mai locked the door with a click. They both remained in their casual clothes as they got onto the bed, gazing into each other’s eyes as they leaned in for a kiss.

“Huh!?”

I was taken aback, witnessing the same scene as before. Their kiss went from gentle touches to a passionate entanglement of tongues, their moans growing louder and more fervent.

“Remember, I told you I’d show you something even better.”

“A-Ah…”

My mind reeled as I attempted to leave the room, but their forceful words stopped me.

“Don’t go!”

“No you can’t!!”

Their voices were louder than anything I had ever heard before. I stood there, surprised and bewildered, as Yuka beckoned me closer. Suddenly, something was put in my arm in an instant.

“Eh!?”

“I caught you.” 

Yuka said, showing me the handcuffs. They were just toy handcuffs, but one end was attached to my wrist and the other to Yuka’s foot with a long string. If I struggled, she could even get dragged in.

“What is this…?”

“You can’t escape with this. You have to watch until the end, Sakuya-kun.”

“That’s right♪ Just for you, Sakuya-kun. You’re the only one who can see everything of us.”

Then the two of them got entangled with each other.

As they partially undress each other, touching cheeks, necks, and even exploring their plump bosoms with their hands… I could only watch in silence.

“Sakuya-kun.” 

“…”

Mai stood up and held my hand. 

“Come on. You can’t resist, can you?”

“Uh… no…”

…What is going on here? Can someone please explain?

“Don’t you understand? Then I have no choice but to show you.”

“Well, yeah. Ehehe, I studied in advance, so it should be okay.”

What exactly am I expected to do?
