Chapter 2115: Admittance
Updated chapters at novelhall.com
When Eri and Futaba found Akane and Fuyu returning to the living room, they couldn't say anything at all. Their suspicions about Fuyu's relationship with me seemingly got stuck to their throat, failing to be voiced by them.
They had to awkwardly bring up another topic to get past it.
Likewise, despite being informed of what happened, Akane and Fuyu also didn't bring it up themselves.
However, that topic was already like a guillotine hanging over our heads. Any one of us could cut the tie and send it hurling down at us.
Not gonna lie, it sure was an awkward scene seeing them acting very carefully with their words after all the fun we had earlier and during dinner.
While going through other topics, Eri and Futaba would occasionally look in my direction. It's as though they're telling me to bring up that topic since I was the root of it.
I understood what was going on in their heads. They couldn't bring it up with Akane also listening at the side.
I mean, won't it feel like they're accusing Fuyu of having an affair with me right in front of Akane's face?
In a normal friend group, that can instantly spell so much chaos that it may even become the cause for their friendship to be over.
They're very conscious of that.
However, if I'm the one who brings it up, they're probably expecting Fuyu to deny it and then that matter will be put to rest.
Yeah. If I step up and shamelessly admit it while embracing Fuyu, it will surely be over in a flash. However, it will leave Eri and Futaba with a lot of questions regarding morality.
Of course, Akane is also aware of all those possibilities. But knowing my silly wife, she's going to enjoy seeing this awkward situation unfold first. Or rather, she's leaving this matter to my and Fuyu's hands.
In any case, since I also have to take a bath and check on my other girls, I can't let this awkwardness continue.
Since they're already suspicious, it's only a matter of time before they find out about it. Besides, this matter is better to be cleared up sooner rather than later.
"Yuuki-san... I have a question."
After contemplating for a while, I raised my hand, gathering all of their attention.
With that as the last bomb to be triggered, Futaba's mind exploded as she also became lost in utter dumbfoundedness.
With Eri and Futaba losing their minds as they both leaned back on their seats powerlessly, Akane and Fuyu stood up and went to them to check their conditions.
Following that, they both glanced at me, conveying that I should leave the convincing to
them.
Yeah. Rather than let me continue explaining to the two girls, they're going to do it themselves. I mean, it's a bad idea if I keep talking. It will feel like everything is decided by
me rather than Fuyu choosing to be with me.
Before long, Akane and Fuyu took one each on their shoulders as they guided their dumbfounded friends up the stairs.
They're going to do the explanation and convincing in the room as the first topic of their girls'
talk for tonight.
Thinking about it, there's nothing else I could do in that situation. Since they already heard the truth, what next was just to let them digest it first before addressing their concerns to
properly convince them.
But will that happen without a problem?
Honestly, I have no idea. All of them have been close friends for so long already. Their concern for their friends is genuine. Our situation was abnormal, after all. And I fully understand that.
However, with Fuyu's determination and Akane's support, they only had one choice in this matter. Accept what we revealed and turn a blind eye to our situation because no matter what happened, neither Akane nor Fuyu would back down.
Eri and Futaba might hate and become wary of me because of this. But well, we'll see how this
will go later.
I can only believe in Akane and Fuyu successfully convincing them.
This isn't new to me and it will continue to happen many times in the future when the time comes to reveal everything to my girls' families.
