When I Let My Runaway Senior Stay at My House, Beautiful Seniors Started Gathering Around Me - Chapter 30: Not Holding Back Is Awesome

Chapter 30: Not Holding Back Is Awesome

“…Whew, just a little more.”

There’s nothing as boring as studying at home.
But when I think about the future, I get motivated to do my best, and knowing it’s important helps me focus, so maybe it’s not so bad.
Still, this is just today’s homework.

“…?”

I was almost done… right when I was about to put the finishing touches on it, my phone rang. I picked it up and the name on the screen was Arisa.

“Hello?”

“Yahoo~ Tsubaki-kun♪ Good evening, konbanwankosoba♪”

“…Good evening.”

“Aww… did that miss the mark?”

Nah, I was just thinking your energy’s crazy high for nighttime, that’s all.

“What’s up?”

“Nothing big, I just wanted to talk~”

“…That makes me happy, Arisa.”

“Yeah♪ I figured you’d say that, and I love how you always say it so honestly♪”

Her voice sounded normal… but I could hear her kicking the bed with little pat-pat sounds. I could clearly picture how she was spending her time. Even though she called, I had zero intention of telling her I was in the middle of studying. Weirdly, whenever the senpais are involved, my specs seem to go up a bit, and I could handle studying while chatting just fine.

“…Alright, done.”

“Huh? Were you doing something?”

“I was doing homework.”

“Eh, for real? I wasn’t bothering you!?”

“Not at all. It feels like my specs go up when you guys are around. And honestly, no matter the reason, I never wanna say I can’t talk right now… I always wanna talk with you.”

“…Kyuuun.”

What a super honest reaction… but that’s exactly why she’s cute.
Hinata and Utsuho are reliable as senpais, of course, but so is Arisa. Still, when something random happens, she’s the one who feels the most childish… like how her words and actions get kinda kid-like when her excitement spikes.

“Hey, I wanna see your face while we talk… video call okay?”

“Of course.”

We switched to video call after that.
Arisa was wearing a cute pajama set and, sure enough, sitting on her bed. For a while after our faces appeared, neither of us said much. We just kept smiling, happy to see each other.

“You know… you’re being even more honest than usual today, aren’t you?”

“Ah~… I decided I shouldn’t hold back, at least not by much.”

“??”

I told her what I talked about with Hinata after school today. Arisa looked a tiny bit pouty when I mentioned spending time with Hinata, but she seemed to understand the part about not holding back.

“I… don’t wanna be apart from any of you, no matter what.”

“!? ”

“I know it’s not normal… and not exactly wholesome. But who cares?”

“!? !?”

“No matter what anyone around us says, I want to stay with all of you… that’s what I think, and I’ll work hard so you guys never get tired of me.”

“Tsu-Tsubaki-kyuuun…”

“I’ll keep liking all of you… liking you, Arisa, forever. So please keep liking me too… keep liking only me.”

“Tsubaki-ku~~~~~~~n!!”

“Hey Arisa! You’re being too loud!?”

…Ah, that voice is probably her mom.
Even I felt like covering my ears through the call, so it must’ve echoed like crazy inside the house.
Still… maybe I went a bit overboard.
Even if I’m not holding back, saying stuff like that… plus I like Hinata and Utsuho too, so wanting her to like only me is pretty selfish, isn’t it… that thought hit me.

“…Whew, sorry Tsubaki-kun. I got a little too worked up.”

“No, it’s fine… I just thought I sounded kinda shameless for a second.”

“You don’t have to worry about that! We like how things are right now, and we’re the ones who wanted it in the first place… well, Utsuho joining was a surprise though.”

“…………”

“So it’s fine! Just relax and keep liking us, Tsubaki-kun.”

“…Got it!”

Man… why are Arisa and the others so kind and wonderful?
Maybe I really don’t need to worry about anything… since we’re the ones who want this relationship.
Arisa nodded at my expression, then started squirming a bit… wait, why is she suddenly groping her own chest!?

“A-Arisa…?”

“Mmm… sorry… your words just made me so happy that my body got all hot♡”

Arisa set her phone down so I could see her whole body, then started unbuttoning her pajama top. She showed off her bouncy, full chest, slipped off her pants, and ended up in just her underwear. With fingers tracing over her slightly damp panties, body trembling, she made this suggestion.

“Hey… wanna watch each other…?”

“…………”

This girl… isn’t she way too naughty?

“Oh, right.”

“What’s up?”

Friday morning, Mom stopped me right as I was about to leave the house.

“You know how I said I’d be gone today?”

“Yeah.”

“I just got a call… looks like it’ll stretch until Tuesday.”

“Eh, that long?”

It’s not unusual for Mom’s work to keep her away from home, and plans sometimes get extended. Still, every time I hear stuff like this, I wish she wouldn’t push herself. She seems to know I feel that way, but she doesn’t just laugh it off. She always says it properly.

“I’m at an age where overdoing it isn’t great, but at least I’m not forcing myself. Plus I can take breaks whenever I want in this environment… it’s okay. Making you worry would defeat the whole point, so I’m thinking about that too. Relax.”

“…Alright.”

Well, if Mom says it like that, it should be fine. I’m not doubting her, and I know there’s no real need to worry… but she’s my mom, after all. I made her promise she absolutely wouldn’t push herself, then left the house. And then—

“Hinata.”

“Yeah?”

By pure chance again, I ran into Hinata on the way to school. Today too she was licking a candy that looked tasty. We started walking together like it was the most natural thing.

“You’re coming over today, right?”

“Yeah… wait, huh!? Did something come up and you can’t?”

“Ah, no, that’s not it.”

“…Oh, good.”

“Ahaha… actually, it’s not just today. Looks like Mom’s gone until Tuesday.”

“…Heh?”

…Wait a second.
Why did I just tell her about Mom’s situation…? I should’ve been satisfied with Hinata just being around for one day.
…Not holding back… so maybe it’s okay to say it?

“If… if it’s okay with you, Hinata, wanna stay over for like three days?”

“I’ll stay.”

Ah… instant answer.
