Chapter 534: Scolding or Spoiling

It was kind of unexpected that I ended up overthinking about obvious things that I set aside again and to top it all off, Satsuki pulled me out of it.

No, it’s probably not unexpected but I failed to restrain my mind to veer off towards that direction.

In any case, what I thought about was the bare truth of this entire situation. I might be who they love today or even in the future. But at the same time, I was also the one who would continue to bring them pain because of how they all decided to endure this situation with me.

Most likely, some or most of them had already realized that point but still decided to turn a blind eye to it.

Just like how I was all this time...

It just so happened that seeing them getting along with each other right in front of me as well as seeing the girls who initially didn’t want to get involved with my other girls going out of their way to do it for me made me somewhat emotional.

It made me realize that... like they always said, we’re all in this together. Even if I was the core of our relationship, there wouldn’t be this kind of harmony between all of us without their help. In a way, those who also had the same realization and still chose to stay were the pillars of this abnormal relationship.

I’m really an idiot for worrying them again.

With Akane and the others checking on us, Satsuki and I had no other choice but to separate. Although somewhat reluctant, Satsuki let me go but she ended up hugging me from behind as I faced the three girls.

Upon seeing that and perhaps also noticing that something was amiss with me, Kana stepped forward and gently put me in her embrace, acting like the senior that she was.

Before that though, she silently conversed with Satsuki to let me go, which the latter easily accepted.

“Ruki, you’re being hard on yourself again, right? And Satsuki comforted you...” Kana sweetly whispered as she held me tight. “We’re probably spoiling you too much. Don’t you think so?”

Compared to her usual tone, Kana was acting like a concerned older sister who realized that her little brother was going the wrong way because of too much spoiling on their part.

Back when I first brought her home, she became afraid of Akane. Today, that incident was straightened up. And despite her shy personality, Kana befriended everyone.

“... I can’t refute that. Will you scold me?”

“What about we all scold you? Nanami, Akane and Satsuki, what do you think?”

Although our conversation was in this direction. Kana’s hold on me was too gentle as if she’s still pampering and spoiling me. There’s no doubt, I would always feel this comfortable inside her loving embrace.

Moreover, it’s also making her happy.

Even though she’s seeking out their opinions on this matter, Kana was totally monopolizing this moment for herself. With my head resting above her slightly bountiful front, Kana’s sweet womanly scent was all for me to sniff.

Besides, we now ended up sitting down on the elevated step at this part of the house, with my arms firmly enclosed to her body.

This girl still had that issue with Kenji that we needed to solve but at this moment, Kana was happily devoting her time to me.

“Sister Kana, that’s not convincing when looking at the two of you like that.”

After a while, I heard Nami’s answer that was somewhat laden with her slight jealousy. Most likely, she’s lamenting about not stepping forward first to hold me.

“Un. I agree. Instead of scolding husband, you’re already spoiling him again, sister Kana. I remembered back then, he’s the one protecting you from me but at this moment, you looked like you’re the one protecting him.” Along with her giggles, Akane then crouched in front of us and reached her hand to my exposed cheeks.

Following that, Akane endearingly caressed my face as she continued with her words. “If I have to guess, this spoiled guy was putting all the blame for this situation on himself once more. Am I right, Satsuki?”

“I didn’t ask him but it’s probably that... If you all saw that ugly frown of his and his self-deprecating smile, you would feel the same thing. Ugh... remembering it is irritating me... I’ll go on ahead. I’ll leave that shameless idiot to you.” Satsuki explained before grunting in frustration. She then threw me a glare and a click of her tongue before stepping inside the house.

Upon witnessing that, Kana slightly leaned her body backward to reveal my face that was almost buried in her bouncy hills. “If Satsuki is acting like that then it’s true... Ruki, do you have something to say for yourself?”

“I have no excuse. I’m at your mercy... Spoil or Scold me... I’ll take both.” I straightened my body and answered confidently.

At this point, I already know what I had to do.

The most important thing was to not make them worry again and to keep this fluffy mood afloat.

After answering like that, I pulled Kana’s head down and took her lips even if Akane was still caressing my face.

“Ah. Now Ruu’s just taking advantage of this situation.” Nami commented at the side. From the corner of my vision, I saw her shaking her head and biting her lips. Soon after saying that, she also ended up crouching in front of us. Her desire to hold me as well was fully delivered when she reached for my hand that was clutching Kana’s back.

Naturally, as soon as I felt her hand I grabbed and pulled her close.

As soon as my lips separated from Kana, I caught Nami’s lips and slowly twisted my body towards her.

To keep them from worrying for me, I had to show that I was still the same perverted guy who would pounce at them given the chance.

“Naughty Ruu... You’re trying to turn our attention away from what Satsuki said, aren’t you?” Nami questioned me when she got the chance to talk.

And naturally, I answered honestly. “Un. That’s what I’m doing. There’s no need to worry, anyway. I’m still the shameless guy who stole you. That’s why... I’ll continue kissing you, Nami.”

Following my last sentence, before she could reply, our lips and tongue were already locked. Kana who was holding me also loosened her arms, letting me move from her towards Nami.

As she was about to slump down on the floor because of my weight gradually transferring to her, I stretched my arm to her back, using it to prevent her from hitting the floor.

After savoring that long kiss with Nami, I gently placed her down before moving to the last girl who already had her arms ready to receive me.

Perhaps lining her thoughts with what I wanted to convey, Akane’s lips flashed her most beautiful smile before our lips met...

As it looked like we’re in our own world, Kana and Nami behind us had already stood up, watching us passionately exchanging our affection to each other.

“Husband, next time, come up with a better solution if you don’t want us to worry. This time, we’ll let this pass...” Akane declared after our passionate moment.

Following Akane’s declaration, Kana and Nami followed up.

“Only this time, Ruki...”

“That’s right... Ruu, I don’t know if I’m speaking for the majority here but let me just say my piece... As much as you want to make this work, it’s the same as how much I wanted to be with you... So before overthinking again, remember this moment.”

After they finished their words, the two girls turned around and like Satsuki, returned to the living room.

Left behind with Akane, the two of us eventually stood up.

And before going inside, I whispered to Akane. “I’m still the luckiest guy to have all of you.”

“Don’t act as if you’re only realizing that now, husband... Anyway, you better straighten your back and don’t let us wait. Haven’t you noticed what we’re wearing?”

And with these words of Akane, I truly only noticed just now... Satsuki was actually wearing her training attire, Kana was wearing her gym tracksuit, Nami was wearing a loose t-shirt and comfortable shorts and lastly, Akane was already wearing what she always wore whenever we’re exercising every morning: a tight sports bra and tight pants.

They had anticipated my return and were now geared up for that Self-defense lesson that I would conduct for them.

Because of my overthinking, I missed all of those details...

Truly an idiot.

“Akane, hit my head and say how much of an idiot I am.”

“Nope... I’ll let them tell that to you,” Akane answered while giggling. “On another note, it’s nice finally meeting them, husband. Most of the girls from your school... Although it’s hard to get along with Shizu, the common point is still their love for you. I like Satsuki, Nami and Kana... I feel like if I slack off, my place as your special one might be snatched by them.”

“Silly girl. Are we here on this topic again? You’ll always be the most special, wife.”

Although I said that, the only reason why she was this special was because of my possessiveness over her... In a way, that doesn’t sound like something special, right?

“Most... That means, they’re also special. You can’t fool me. I can clearly see how much you want them to stay with you.”

“Is it that obvious?”

That’s the truth anyway but still, there’s that slight difference of willingness to let them go if they chose to... unlike with Akane...

“Naturally, I’m your wife. I can boast that I know you more than Nanami’s observation of you or Haruko’s grasp on your emotions.” Akane proudly declared while continuing to giggle at my side.

A few moments later, we’re back in the living room and everyone was already waiting for me.
