Chapter 1794 Inside the Flower Garden
Upon approaching my girls without extracting the three from me, I immediately got swarmed by them, asking for the same treatment. For those looking from a distance, this situation would probably be taken as my entrance to a blooming flower garden
Hina led the charge then Hiyori. Thankfully, Saki and Elizabeth already got their fill, they even high-five each other before giggling in satisfaction. Also, the chuunibyou playfully whispered something about her interaction with Hanabi, “I might have been taken in by her agreeable personality, my prince. When wouldst thou take her in as our sister? Hast the embers of passion yet to be ignited?”
That earned her a flick on her forehead again. Of course, I already controlled my strength. It’s more like a hit of rubber band than something that would leave a mark on her wide forehead.
Elizabeth stuck her tongue out in response before laughing and doubling down, “Aha! My prince neither denied nor dismissed my question. Hanabi-senpai, this princess looks forward to our next meeting.” You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin
And with Hanabi hearing that exchange, the girl lifted her head to look at us. I used that moment to pinch her bloated cheeks. But as though she grew thicker skin in the short time that we were not together, she didn’t give way to other girls, keeping her monopoly of my chest.
Luckily for her, my girls didn’t mind it that much. In fact, they’re also quite intrigued by how the goofball’s mind works. She kept saying there’s nothing between us but from what I heard, she also kept on claiming that I’ve caught her like a fish in the net. She cannot escape my grasp anymore.
The girl’s contradiction was making them amused.
Anyway, as my girls come at me one by one, sometimes, they would ask for an intimate exchange like a kiss on the lips or nibbling on my neck.
And when it came to the turn of Sumire and Umi – who somehow also joined up with them because of Chii – the former still acted the same as earlier while the latter shyly but assertively approached me.
Although Umi was like her cousin who seldom talked, the way she conveyed her thoughts through actions was extremely adorable. And that’s why I cannot help but keep on doting on her the same way I dote on Ria and Aya.
As for Sumire... well, she’s still trying to hang onto Asahi’s name, saying she doesn’t want to betray her idol.
Due to that, I showed her an exchange of messages between Yue and me when I told her about her number 1 fanatic getting closer to me.
She said she’d give her seal of approval once I showed her a photo of us together.
So, I did. The girl nervously posed beside me when Akane took our photo. Of course, at this point, Hanabi had to take a step back or she’d be caught in the frame too.
What a poor soul. Too bad. I have no time to spare to console his weary soul.
Lastly, as for girls and our other schoolmates, they were wondering what was happening. Although some accepted that something was going on between me and the girls surrounding me, no one could voice it out. Perhaps they’re afraid to be wrong or they’re just intimidated by my girls’ appearance. I mean, even though they didn’t outnumber them, their beauty was all above-average to top-notch. Uh, in my eyes they’re all top-notch, no exceptions. Hence, they’re not confident to call them out.
Maybe some of them made their own interpretation that it was impossible for me to be in a relationship with all of them and stuck with the label ‘close friends’. And in the same sense, some would also think that there’s more to it, wondering if I already kissed the girls or had sex with them.
Yeah. Human minds are that dirty after all. They’re not wrong anyway and I couldn’t care less about their fantasies. As long as they stay away from my girls, they won’t have any problem with me.
Anyway, back on the topic.
With Akane’s lead again, she told me what they all planned. Like I previously guessed, they all seemed to be talking about whether to take the bus or train. And after further deliberation, they opted to take the train rather than the bus which more often than not wouldn’t be empty when arriving at the bus stop. The seats won’t be enough for them.
Besides, with Hanabi among them whose house was in the opposite direction, some of them suggested that she sleepover at one of the girls’ houses. Of course, she declined it right away. She only met them today. They’re neither friends nor sisters yet. And given her newfound attachment to me, the goofball declared that she’d rather stay with me.
Or... there’s no problem for her to commute alone.
At the moment, that’s the current issue they’re asking me to decide.
“Babe...?” With her voice laced with a tinge of uneasiness, Hanabi called out to me.
“Mhm... What about this? I’ll walk you to your bus stop”
Unfortunately, that’s the best solution I have. Given that I will be with Shizu maybe until late in the night and I still have to prepare for the camping trip tomorrow morning, taking her home to stay the night is out of the question; not to mention she didn’t have permission from her mother yet and it’s entirely a suggestion made on the fly.
“Y-yes!” Hanabi smilingly nodded as she heaved a sigh of relief.
Like I thought, she was also not ready for it yet. But with that, her close-to-blind trust in me was once again highlighted...
May Matsuri forgive me for corrupting her twin sister.
