While I Was Shutting in My Room for One Year, My Parent Remarried and Now I’m Living Together With Super Beautiful Stepsisters

Chapter 36: Welcome to the Super Lewd Resort

And so, the first day of Golden Week arrived.

Tourist spots everywhere were dominated by crowds, and public transportation was in a total jam during this period.

Highways were gridlocked, and TV, newspapers, and SNS were all abuzz with Golden Week topics.

It was an ultra-precious long vacation for the world at large, so it was only natural… but for me, who’d been holed up playing games until last year, it was no different from a regular weekday.

Last year, I’d been looping the Golden Week event in Lunares from my room, and I had no memory of leaving it except for baths and the toilet.

But this year was different.

My Golden Week this year was…

“Wow, the hotel is huuuuge!”

“It’s big… isn’t it?”

“Waa~ , amazing, amazing! It’s such a huge hotel, Aoto-kun!”

“O-Oh.”

We had arrived at a large spa resort hotel in a tourist area outside the prefecture.

“Come on, everyone. Let’s head into the hotel~”

Prompted by the cheerful Nanoka-san, we moved from the pristine white-tiled porte-cochère where the taxi had stopped toward the glittering entrance.

Then the glass automatic doors slid open leisurely.

(Whoa, the entrance is impressive too…)

The ceiling was as high as a night sky full of stars, and the arch-shaped eaves befitting a resort glowed softly under the night lights.

In the entrance stood an unusually expensive-looking painting and a ridiculously huge fluffy sofa against the wall, and we walked past them on the large red carpet that connected the automatic doors to the front desk.

“Hehe, Aoto-kun’s eyes are sparkling like a kid’s.”

“I-I can’t help it…”

Momiji teased me, but Yuzuna and Anzu were just as fidgety as I was since entering the hotel, their excitement showing on their faces.

“Well? Your eyes might sparkle even more once you see your big sister’s swimsuit~♡”

“That won’t happen. You’re my little sister, after all, Momiji.”

“I’m your big sister, you know?”

She really wouldn’t yield on that point no matter what…

I waited for the check-in process to finish, exasperated by Momiji as usual.

“What are you planning to do at the hotel, Aoto-kun? It seems like there’s everything: a large heated pool, a buffet, hot springs, massages, you name it.”

“Me? Well, I’d stay in the room playing ga—”

“Oh cooome on~! You just want to go to the pool with us♡ Aoto-kun’s such a pe~rv♡”

Thanks to Momiji, the pool got forcibly added to my schedule from day one.

This girl… she’d asked that with this in mind from the start.

Well, denying it would just waste time, so whatever.

“Alright! Once we drop our bags in the rooms, let’s all head to the pool!”

Momiji said to us, but the other two of the three sisters didn’t respond with an “Ooh.”

Damn, these three really didn’t vibe together.

“Ooh!”

Only Nanoka-san, who had finished check-in, responded… wait, what?

No way, Nanoka-san too… to the pool!?

And so, the tumultuous three days at the resort hotel were about to begin.

Chapter 37: Nanoka-san’s Bright Red Bright Red Swimsuit

We finished check-in and headed to the elevator with our luggage.

Because it was Golden Week, all the family rooms were booked solid, so we decided to split into a three-person room and a two-person room.

The room assignments put the three sisters in one room and me with Nanoka-san in the other.

“Alright, let’s get ready and meet at the heated pool?”

“Y-Yeah.”

We got out of the elevator and split into two groups, heading to our respective rooms on the same floor.

I wondered if those three would be okay on their own…

I hoped they wouldn’t start fighting or anything.

“I’m sorry about this, Aoto-kun. You ended up in the same room as me.”

As we walked down the hallway with our luggage, Nanoka-san suddenly said it with an apologetic look.

“Don’t apologize! If anything, I should be the one saying sorry… I mean, it would’ve been better if Dad could have come…”

I’d felt vaguely guilty that Dad couldn’t make it, so I apologized to Nanoka-san too.

Dad probably couldn’t help it because of work obligations, but after finally remarrying and dragging his son like me back out into the world, he could at least do some family service, I thought.

“It’s fine, Aoto-kun. I’m happy to be in the same room as you—we can talk a lot♡”

Nanoka-san answered with a smile full of maternal affection.

She was like a saint… this woman…

“Well, sure, I would’ve liked Kazuki-san to come too… but thanks to him, we got such a great hotel, so I can’t complain too much, right?”

That’s right… actually, this trip relied on Dad’s ridiculously wide network too. One of his acquaintances was a big tycoon who owned this hotel, and he let us have a canceled room right away, plus he gave us a huge discount on the rate.

Dad had always been like that—whenever I consulted him, he’d somehow make anything work out.

Well, except for my high school entrance exam, which he couldn’t fix…

Even now, looking back, I feel like I did something bad to Dad…

“You’re proud of your dad, aren’t you?”

“Uh… yeah. I guess so.”

“Aoto-kun?”

“He’s a dad I’m proud of, but I couldn’t be a son he was proud of—I failed the high school exam and ended up holed up for a whole year.”

The more I realized how amazing Dad was, the more I tended to get self-deprecating.

I… could never be like Dad…

“No. You’re wonderful.”

“Huh?”

“That year you spent holed up might feel like a dark chapter to you, Aoto-kun, but since you came back out, you haven’t let that past show at all—you’re bright, reliable, and acting like a proper ‘big brother.'”

“Nanoka-san…”

Between the three sisters and Nanoka-san, why did they all say such kind things to me?

My past wasn’t something that deserved affirmation, but ever since meeting these people, I’d started to feel like that past was what led me to now.

“Um, thank you, Nanoka-san.”

“No need to thank me. But… from now on, could you call me Mom?♡”

“That’s not happening, Nanoka-san.”

“Oh cooome on! Such a tsundere♡”

If her stepson suddenly started calling her Mom and getting all clingy, she’d probably be weirded out…

I entered the room with Nanoka-san in her usual high spirits and started getting ready for the pool.

“Oh, Aoto-kun, this is my swimsuit—”

As soon as we got in the room, Nanoka-san pulled a swimsuit out of her suitcase… wait!

What Nanoka-san pulled out was a bright red slingshot with an almost string-like amount of fabric—super skimpy.
