While I Was Shutting in My Room for One Year, My Parent Remarried and Now I’m Living Together With Super Beautiful Stepsisters - Chapter 55-56

Chapter 55: The Dud Prize Called “King”

“Come on, Kyoko? What order are you going to give?”

“Uh, umm…”

Kyoko suddenly became king and started panicking in a fluster.

Well, of course she did.

But man, who would’ve thought the king spot would end up with Kyoko…

Out of everyone here, the one whose orders were the most unpredictable was definitely Kyoko.

From what Lunares said, Kyoko gets pretty wild once a game starts, so maybe even in King’s Game…

“Okay, umm…”

Kyoko kept glancing around the room, then finally spoke her order.

“Okay! Number 4, please go pour some juice into Kyoko’s cup!”

Phew, a normal… order.

No, this is the kind of thing that should be completely ordinary, so is my sense of normal totally broken?

“Ah♡ Number 4 is me~ Got it, Mama will go pour it for you right away♡”

Thanks to Kyoko’s super-normal order, the tight tension that had been stretched around the room snapped all at once.

As expected, Kyoko really was the only conscience in the group.

“Hey, Momiji, if we’re still doing this King’s Game, can we add a rule that from now on every order has to be as wholesome as Kyoko’s?”

“That would take all the fun out of it! Anything that isn’t sexy is basically fine, so we’re keeping it that way!”

“Ugh…”

Putting aside whether Haruka’s earlier order actually counted as one of those “sexy” ones, if we were going to keep playing, I really wanted the orders locked to Kyoko-level normal.

Haruka somehow had a mysterious way of knowing my number, so if she became king again there was no telling what kind of insane order I might get.

I had to stay on guard for that.

“Okay, time to pick the next king!”

The lottery to decide the next king started again.

“““““““Who’s the king~?”””””””

Well, anyone is fine… wait, huh?

“…Ah, it’s me.”

““““““Eh!?”””””””

Even though I had become the king, I somehow felt like I had drawn the worst possible lot.

Chapter 56: The End of the King’s Game and a Bad Feeling

The number 7 stick I drew had completely turned into the worst possible luck, so now I had to give an order as the king.

How am I supposed to put this awful feeling into words… Anyway, let’s just say I couldn’t stop breaking into a cold sweat.

“Hey, Aoto-senpai! Hurry up and give your order already!”

While I was hesitating, Yamada rushed me.
Man, this girl… I really want to grab those donut-twintails of hers and yank them hard.

That said, Yamada did have a point.
If I didn’t hurry and say something, the boos would start coming from everyone else.

But I’ve always been bad at being the one to give orders in games like this…

More than anything, I just want this hellish game to end already. I’m tempted to make my order “game over,” but… yeah, that’d be against the rules.

Hm? End… the game?

That’s it! If I give an order that makes everyone instantly want to quit the King’s Game, I can increase the number of people who feel the same way I do!

Once I decided that, I remembered the one order I hated the most when it was done to me earlier. All I have to do is pick two random numbers and make those two people hug each other tightly.

“Alright! I’ve decided! My order is—number 2 and number 4, give each other a passionate hug!”

““Eh!?!?””

The ones who reacted to my order were… huh?

“W-wait, does that mean number 2 and number 4 are…”

The people who raised their hands were Haruka and… Momiji.

“Hold on a second, Aoto-kun! We agreed no hugging or anything perverted!”

“Well, if I give the order to numbers, everyone except me is definitely a girl, so I figured girl-on-girl wouldn’t count.”

“It does count! It totally counts!”

Momiji’s face turned bright red as she desperately protested.

Of course it does. After all, Haruka and Momiji hate each other that much…

“Aoto! Change your order right now!”

Haruka opposed it with the same intensity as Momiji.
I get how they feel, but…

“There’s no need to change it, Big Brother.”

While I was still wavering, Yuzuna spoke up.

“Both Momiji and Haruka-san were totally planning to give my brother—the only boy here—some sexual-harassment-level orders, right? And Haruka-san, you already tried once and failed. If that’s the case, it’s not fair unless you two are prepared to receive the same kind of orders yourselves.”

“Y-Yuzuna…!”

Yuzuna provoked them, and Momiji snapped.

Honestly, she’s not wrong.

Even those two were completely shut down, and the mood turned into “we have no choice but to do it.”

“H-Haruka-san… hurry up and do it.”

“You’re the one who needs to hurry…”

Momiji and Haruka faced each other and shared a passionate hug that would definitely be popular with a certain crowd.
I’m the one who ordered it, but… what is this atmosphere?
Two beautiful girls hugging—it should’ve been a gorgeous sight… or so I thought.

“…If we’re doing this, I’ll ● you while I hug you.”

“Right back at you, Haruka-san. Ascend to heaven right here.”

“I’m not the one who’s gonna ●! You’re the one who—!”

While locked in an embrace, an outrageous catfight broke out as they both tried to choke the life out of each other like in some deadly hug, and someone finally stopped them. With that, the King’s Game came to an end.

What an insane day this was…

Looking back, pretty much nothing good happened.
When I returned to the room I was sharing with Nanoka-san, I glanced at her—she had drunk too much wine and fallen asleep instantly—and stared out the window at the night sky.

Starting tomorrow we’re basically free to do whatever we want, but what should I do… hm?

“A chat?”

I got a message from Yuzuna on my phone, so I read it.

‘Hey, I kinda want to see the night sea. Come with me, Big Brother.’

I really just want to sleep… but oh well.

Since it was a request from Yuzuna, who had helped me out during the King’s Game earlier, I agreed and left the room.
