While I Was Shutting in My Room for One Year, My Parent Remarried and Now I’m Living Together With Super Beautiful Stepsisters - Chapter 42-43

Chapter 42: A Chilly One Had Come

I ended up mysteriously stroking Momiji’s head and sat right next to her at an incredibly close distance while I stroked it.

“Uh, is that enough for you, Momiji? This makes us look just like a silly couple.”

“Hmm, so even though Aoto-kun is just stroking his little sister’s head, you think it looks like we’re a couple?”

“It’s about an objective perspective! That’s how it would normally look!”

If a guy and a girl were flirting around by the poolside, stroking each other’s heads, it wouldn’t be strange if it looked that way.

And the problem wasn’t just that…

Because I had leaned in while stroking, it was brushing against me… uh, her breasts!

Momiji’s huge breasts softly brushed against the side of my arm where I was stroking.

If I said it was me brushing against her, she would tease me again with something like, “Are you aware of your little sister’s boobs?”

“Um, Aoto-kun…”

“What is it, Momiji?”

“…Y-your boob is brushing against me, so is it okay if I move away a little?”

Momiji said this while her cheeks flushed slightly.

Oh! You’re the one who says it!!

I immediately pulled away and stopped stroking her head.

“I-if it bothered you, you should have said so from the start!”

“S-sorry, Aoto-kun. For your big sister, it’s my first time having a guy get that close to me.”

Momiji always teased me with such a composed attitude, but when I thought about it, the three sisters had always gone to an all-girls school…

Maybe that’s why they got along so normally with a guy like me—they just didn’t quite know how to interact with the opposite sex?

“Phew, ahh, water slides are the best.”

While Yuzuna was keeping a slightly awkward distance from us, she came back from the water slide.

“Hm? What? Did something happen between you two?”

“…N-no, nothing happened. I’ll go cool my head off!”

In a rare flustered manner for Momiji, she hurried off toward the waterfall area.

She always took the offensive, but when caught off guard, she was weak… that was Momiji.

“Big Brother, did something really happen with Momiji?”

“No. Just a little…”

“A little?”

“No, nothing.”

“What really happened?!”

If I explained, it would take too long, so I decided not to talk about the head-stroking.

“Well, whatever. More importantly, what are you going to do after this, Big Brother?”

“What do you mean, what am I going to do…”

“Let’s go on the water slide! There’s one we can ride together! Come on, come on.”

Yuzuna grabbed my hand and dragged me toward the water slide.

I didn’t want to ride the water slide…

“I-I don’t want to do the water slide or anything.”

“Come on! If you slide with me, it won’t be scary!”

“No, but…”

While I stubbornly refused Yuzuna’s invitation, someone suddenly tapped me on the shoulder from behind.

Oh! A savior? Anzu? Nanoka-san? Momiji?

“Hehe, Aoto♡ You’re in luck♡”

Wh-what?? That voice is…!!

Chapter 43: The Sultry Childhood Friend and the School Swimsuit Prostration

If I used the phrase “pool humidity,” it might be a misuse like saying “headache hurts,” but I would use it deliberately here.

Without a doubt, an outrageous humidity had begun to drift around the pool.

That familiar voice called out from behind me.

“Aoto? You look like you’re having fun.”

When I slowly turned toward the voice, behind me was…

“Ha, Haruka…!? Wh-what are you doing here!”

There stood an incredibly well-proportioned beauty in a lapis lazuli off-shoulder bandeau bikini—the figure of my childhood friend, Haruka Mizuno.

“What do you mean, what? I’m surprised too! I had no idea you guys were staying at the same resort hotel as us!”

“You guys? Did you bring family?”

“No, the one who came with me is—”

Haruka glanced with her eyes, and then Yamada in her school swimsuit peeked out from behind… huh?

“Why are you here too, Yamada!”

“B-because Haruka-senpai said that for Golden Week, maybe we could stay at this hotel using my dad’s connections—”

“Yamada-chan? Let’s be quiet for a bit.”

“Eep. Y-yes.”

Haruka covered Yamada’s mouth and applied pressure, and Yamada shrank back.

No way, Haruka…

“Yamada-chan invited me, so I came♡ It’s not like I searched for where you were going and investigated it meticulously or anything!”

I see… so in other words, she asked Yamada to use her connections to make it possible to stay here.

Yamada’s ancestors were the founders of a famous local company, and although Yamada herself had a loli vibe with a small presence, she was technically the daughter of the president and a member of a wealthy family.

Haruka had been admired by Yamada since their track and field club days, and I remembered that Yamada had followed Haruka around like a remora out of excessive respect.

So Haruka had used that trust from back then to borrow Yamada’s power and come here…

“Did you maybe tell Big Brother about coming here, Haruka-san?”

“…Oh, yeah, now that you mention it.”

Yuzuna’s words made me remember.

I definitely recalled talking about Golden Week plans on the way home after being ambushed that time.

However, I had not expected her to actually come…

“Um, Aoto-senpai, can I talk to you for a sec?”

“O-oh. Yuzuna, take care of Haruka.”

“Huh!?”

This time, Yamada said she had something to discuss, so we moved a little away from the spot.

“About Haruka-senpai, it’s been a year since she last contacted me, and when she does, she’s somehow unusually dark and heavy… this has to be your fault, Aoto-senpai, right?”

“It’s not my fault! Why would you think that!”

“But Haruka-senpai only talks about you…”

Only about me? I didn’t quite get it, but maybe it was because when I told her my Golden Week plans, I ended up turning down her invitation?

“Well, Haruka-senpai has been looking out for me since middle school, so it’s not like this is a big deal… but the problem isn’t there.”

“Problem?”

Yamada said this with a complicated expression.

Was there something else besides Haruka?

“To get her request, I succeeded in having my dad prepare this resort hotel, but my dad seems to have misunderstood it as me going with a boyfriend… and tonight, he wants me to connect a remote call in the room and introduce my boyfriend…”

“…Huh? Then just honestly tell your dad it’s Haruka there.”

“…N-no, see, he said he wouldn’t book it unless it’s with a boyfriend. He wants to properly check out the next president candidate.”

“Huh?”

“Th-therefore… um!”

Yamada suddenly squatted down and performed a school swimsuit prostration on the poolside, as if she were about to bow her head to the ground.

Wh-what are you doing, Yamada!

“P-please, Aoto-senpai! Be my boyfriend (pretend) and greet my dad!!”

“””Whaaaaat?!?”””

With a ridiculously loud voice that everyone could hear, Yamada made an outrageous plea.
