CH 64

I don't know if this is really the end of the story of Chisome and Shinra-san, and I don't quite know what's best to say.

But as for Chisome, she nodded her head in satisfaction and stood up from her chair, looking refreshed.

"Me, I'm going to the toilet for a minute okay"

"A-, Aah..."

"Kaa-san? Don't do anything weird to Nii-san."

Saying that, Chisome left the room.

Mashiro was standing right next to me, but she pulled out a nearby chair and put it next to me and sat down.

"......Good grief, I was surprised. Never have I thought, to think that a girl who looked exactly like Chisome was the true identity of her power."

"Is this the first time you see her?"

"Yes. It's the first time I've seen her...... she's very cute, she's cute, but I can't seem to love her."

That was a clear statement.

It wasn't particularly a choice of words, and it was easy to understand that her words that said she couldn't love Mashiro were from her own true heart.

Mashiro didn't even seem to be particularly concerned, just glancing at the cake and Shinra-san.

"Do you want to eat? I don't particularly mind."

"I'll have some!"

Well, the shadow was flickering when Chisome was eating the cake anyway, and when I thought that she must have wanted to eat it all along, Mashiro is so cute, however, that it can't be helped.

While stroking Mashiro's head, I opened my mouth.

"From my point of view, Chisome and Mashiro are both so cute that it can't be helped. As I spent more time with them, that feeling grew stronger......and in this way, we even became lovers."

"......I can't think of it."

"Is that so? It's a bit complicated if it's from my point of view, but right now that girl is very popular at school, you know. Not just boys, but girls as well."

"With girls too?"

"Yes"

Ah, Shinra-san gets flabbergasted, look.

Well, Misora, Yuika, and Akane's words and deeds are a bit dangerous, but since there is no romantic feeling there, it's a little different to say that she is popular with women, I guess? But if you look at how popular and adored she is, it's not wrong to say so.

"I love Chisome so much it's beyond help. So much that I can't imagine a future without her anymore...... Of course, it's the same with this girl as well."

"......"

"Umm......Shinra-san"

"What is it?"

I don't know if it's really fine to be talking about this kind of suggestion.

But I wanted her to know their warmth now, one way or another.

"Just once is fine. Would you please touch Chisome and Mashiro?"

"e?"

"These girls are really warm, you know. They're no different from us normal people in any way, it's because they are such girls."

I was prepared for at least one curse, but there was nothing said in particular.

Maybe I'm getting a little ahead of myself in suggesting without having Chisome and Mashiro say anything, but I wanted her to know even just once――The warmth of the girls now.

"I don't mind" (Shinra)

Before I knew it, Mashiro, who had flattened her cake, suddenly stood in front of Shinra-san.

It just...... it's ruined because of the cake on her cheek, but Mashiro doesn't seem to notice it at all.

"......Just when I was thinking about what you're going to say, it's nonsense. Don't move, there's a cake on your cheek."

With a tissue in hand, Shinra-san wiped the cake off Mashiro's cheek.

During that time too, she didn't change her expression in particular, and she was indifferent, so I gave up with a wry smile thinking it was a failure.

However, there was a slight change when Chisome returned.

"Chisome"

"What?"

"......Stay still there."

"???"

Shinra-san stood up and even walked to the front of Chisome.

At the sudden thing, not only Chisome but even Mashiro are surprised and round their eyes, repeatedly throwing a glance at me.

"..............."

Shinra-san slowly raised her hand and placed it on Chisome's head.

"......Kaa-san?"

"......Hmm, nothing has changed after all."

And next, she put her hand on Mashiro's head as well, not stroking it particularly, just touching it.

Chisome, who had been staring at the hand that had moved away from her for some time, placed her hand on her head and stared at Shinra-san wondering what in the world had happened.

"You've now done what you came for, right? Then go home already. There shouldn't be anything to talk about."

"It's a hmph. I know such that. Well, let's go home then, Nii-san."

"Y-, Yeah......"

......Well but, I think that it was good as it was.

Chisome urged me to stand up; however, there was just one more thing I had to tell her.

"Umm, Shinra-san――"

"You don't need to worry about money. Or rather, all the money transferred to your account is yours――don't hesitate to use it."

"Uhhh......"

Yes, the other was about money.

The reason we have been able to live without any inconvenience up until now is none other than because Shinra-san has been transferring money to us.

It's a lot of money that won't go away no matter how much you use it, but nevertheless, I don't have any intention to splurge, but...... However, I also end up being uncomfortable with the idea of receiving money all the time.

"I should have said it already. Since I forced my only daughter on you, it's logical that this side should pay that much compensation. You can use it without hesitation without thinking that there is anything wrong with it. If you love being with each other so much, then it's fine to just live as you please and be with each other as you like."

When Chisome and I looked at each other, she giggled and smiled.

"......Well, perhaps, as......Kaa-san would have it?"

"..............."

And for the last, Shinra-san said,

"Chisome, you have spoken to me with confidence that you are happy now. If so, then show it until the end. Since I went out of my way to give someone like you the opportunity to talk to me."

"Good grief, you don't have to say it like that you know"

"Go home. That's all for the question and answer."

"Yes yes――thank you, Kaa-san."

"..............."

And so we went outside.

While greeting Tachibana-san who saw us off at the gate, Chisome clapped her hands, said, "That's right," and took out something from her pocket.

"Tachibana-san. This, could you hand it over to my mother?"

"This is...... fufuu, I understand."

It was a picture that Chisome handed over.

It's a picture of the three of us together, all smiling.

"Well, shall we go home then, Nii-san, to our home"

"Yeah"

The matter this time, I don't know for certain if with this, it was good or not.

But, if Chisome, who is walking next to me, looks satisfied, then I'm sure it must have been good...... Somehow, however, I had the feeling that I would surely have the opportunity to meet and talk with Shinra-san again anyway, and I just couldn't believe that this was really the end of it.

(......Well, I can only think that this time's matter was good, right.)

It wasn't a bad atmosphere at all, so I also went home satisfied just like Chisome.
