Shiori Side

Recently, I have a problem.

I like Yuuki. That will never change. But Natsuki and Riko are equally important to me.

That’s why I am wondering if I can continue like this. I’m worried about what will happen to the other two if one of us is chosen.

I’m comfortable with the relationship that we have now, the four of us. I’m afraid that this relationship will collapse when one of us is chosen.

Now that Yuuki’s memory has returned, I’m sure it won’t take much time before one of us will be chosen.

“I wonder what I should do. ……Hey, Yuuki.”

I woke up a little earlier than usual and asked Yuuki while recharging my energy. Yuuki is still sleeping, so of course he won’t reply.

I took advantage of the fact that he was asleep to peck his cheeks and rubbed against it. He says, [Ugh…] and turns his face away from me.

This is also cute and adorable. I can’t think of letting go of Yuuki. Somehow, I have to find a way.

I decided to hurry up and go talk to the other two first.

☆☆☆

The first person I went to talk to was Riko. After finishing the meal, I called Riko to my room while Yuuki was taking a bath.

“Shiori Nee, what’s wrong? …… I won’t give up on my Yuuki  Nii, okay?”

“It’s not that. I’d like to ask you a few questions.”

“Hmm, that’s unusual. What did you want to ask me, Shiori Nee?”

Riko seems to have misunderstood why I called her to the room. I never thought of forcing her to give up on Yuuki. 

What I want is a state where all of us can get along. I know it’s arrogant, but that’s what I want.

With Riko sitting on the other side of the desk, I cut to the chase.

“Riko, a relationship where one of us is chosen and the other is all of us spends time together. Which would you prefer?”

“Huh? I’m sure it would be better if all of us could stay together. But isn’t that impossible?”

“Anyway, Riko wants to be with all of us, right?”

“Well, yeah.”

Looking at Riko, who seemed unsatisfied, I thought to myself.

Riko, if anything, seemed to have the same opinion as me. She didn’t seem to think it was possible for everyone to be together, but she still had the same opinion as me. After all, we’re sisters.

The only other two people who should be confirmed are Natsuki and…..Yuuki. I was afraid to ask Yuuki. If Yuuki’s heart is already inclined to someone here, it can’t be helped.

I told Riko that that was all I wanted to ask her, and she seemed to be heading for the bath. There was no sign of Yuuki getting out of the bath yet, so I guessed she was planning to go in with him.

Although I was still unsure, I was beginning to get my bearings.

The next person I wanted to ask was Natsuki. I headed to Natsuki’s classroom during recess and called Natsuki. Natsuki immediately complied and followed me.

We headed for the back of the stairs, where there were few people. People rarely passed through here, and many of the special classrooms were unused.

“Shiori senpai, what’s wrong? Did something happen to Yuuki kun again?”

Come to think of it, I might have brought Natsuki here to talk to her before. Because of that, she probably thought something had happened to Yuuki again.

I denied it, and then I got right down to business.

“For Natsuki, the relationship where one person was chosen by Yuuuki, or the relationship where everyone gets along like now. Which do you prefer?”

“Eh? …..Right.”

When I said that, Natsuki rolled her eyes in surprise and immediately started thinking about something. 

“I want to be with all of you if Yuuki kun loves all of us equally. But if there is a bias, it would be better for one person to be chosen. I think so. Well, I think the right to decide lies with Yuuk kun.”

“I think that’s true. ……By the way, what would you think if I told you that we could have pseudo polygamy?”

“Eh? Can you do that?”

Once again, Natsuki stares at me with wide eyes in surprise. I vaguely replied, [If it were possible.]

Japan is currently a monogamous country. Polygamy is prohibited. However, in the course of my research, I learned that there are ways to become a family, even if it is not in the form of marriage.

In other words, it’s not impossible.

“I think it would be better if we could do it. I think that’s a big leap, though.”

“Well, yes, it is. But I understand. Thank you.”

The next class is about to start, so I drop Natsuki off and go back to my classroom. At the very least, I was able to get good responses from the two people other than Yuiki.

I made up my mind to ask Yuuki.
