CH 35

“…I feel like I’m being stared at.”

Finally, the day of moving had arrived, and I couldn’t help but notice the other tenants of the apartment building staring at me.

It felt like the first time I had ever mentioned the other residents, but Arashi had never had any interaction with them, including the landlord, and his relationship with him was best described as indifferent rather than hostile.

“Well, there’s nothing we can do about it.”

“What’s wrong?”

“What’s the matter?”

I shook my head and told them it was nothing.

It wasn’t so much that the other residents were interested in me, Arashi, moving out, but rather that Shirayuki and Hisui, who were with me, were attracting attention.

The movers who were carrying my few belongings were one thing, but the car that Hisui and Shirayuki had come in together looked expensive, and although I wasn’t familiar with cars, it looked like a luxury car that could cost millions.

“Um, Gundo-kun. Who are those girls?” 

The perplexed landlord asked me, but I had no answer for him other than they were acquaintances.

I didn’t want anyone to know, especially since the landlord had given Shirayuki and Hisui creepy looks the first time he saw them.

“Thank you for everything up until now.”

I simply bowed my head and Hisui spoke up as well.

“He’ll be spending time with us starting today. We have permission from his family, so you don’t have to worry about anything regarding him.”

“Together…?”

Shirayuki was the next to answer.

“He’s an important person, so it’s only natural that we spend time together. He may have been lonely living alone all this time, but now he’ll be living in a warm environment without any inconvenience. Right, Arashi-kun?”

“Yeah.” 

I nodded, and the landlord looked surprised with his mouth open.

He was speechless for a while, and then it became clear that the emotion he showed was jealousy, which I could easily understand. 

In my memory, the landlord seemed to have had a lot of hardships, and perhaps because of that, personally, he couldn’t tolerate Arashi trying to grasp a happiness that was easy to understand.

“We’re done, Hououin-sama.”

“Okay. Let’s go then.”

“Hououin!?”

Finally, he seemed to have noticed Shirayuki and Hisui’s true identity. 

The landlord was left speechless with a stunned expression, and as he yelled out, the residents were shocked by the name that echoed throughout.

Ignoring them, I got into the car driven by Hisui.

“…Phew.”

“Good job, Touma-kun.”

“Yeah. Thank you, Shirayuki and Hisui.”

“It was nothing. But this is finally it.”

“Yes, finally…finally, our world will begin.”

I laughed at Shirayuki’s words, which sounded like something a saint or a demon king from another world would say. But she wasn’t joking, and her tone of voice showed her confidence.

Hisui also nodded deeply in agreement, showing their strong determination.

“Shall we make a feast today for Touma-kun’s homecoming?”

“Oh, that sounds good. I’ll also put in extra effort.”

“…food…huh.”

So, starting today, I will be eating more home-cooked meals. 

It was a bit nostalgic for me, because in my past life, I either ate at the school cafeteria in high school or sometimes bought or made my own bento in college…and in this world, besides the occasional lunch that they made for me, I didn’t have many opportunities to eat homemade food.

“…It’s too warm all of a sudden.”

As I said that, I was met with a look that seemed to say, “We’re just getting started.”

In the midst of it all, Shirayuki, who was sitting next to me, leaned over and softly asked for a kiss. When I responded, Hisui, who was driving, looked enviously at us through the mirror.

“We can always do things like this, and seek deeper connections. Of course, not just physical relationships, but anything, no matter how trivial, I’ll do it for you.”

Despite my slight worry, I was overjoyed and crushed any doubts as we finally arrived at their mansion, where I would now live.

Naturally, the room I was going to use was prepared, and everything I had brought was carried there.

“I was planning on doing some cleaning and stuff… but it’s already so clean.”

“Of course. We finished everything yesterday.”

“Yes, it wouldn’t be polite not to clean before inviting Touma-kun, right?”

No… maybe I should have offered to help with that.

After thanking the two of them, I was taken to the living room, where we decided to relax for the rest of the day.

“You probably know where everything is by now… and as for the rest, well, this is also your home, so you don’t need permission to do anything, okay?”

“Well… that might be difficult until I get used to it.”

“You’ll get used to it soon enough. This is already Touma-kun’s home… we’ll be spending the rest of our lives here.”

Yes… that’s right.

I realized that from this moment on, the Hououin house would also become my home… It might take some time to get used to it, but I had decided to live in this house of captivity.

That’s why I couldn’t run away from here anymore… I only had to think about the two of them.

“Well then, now that things have settled down a bit, I’m going to step out for a while.”

“Work?”

“Yes. I’ll be back in the evening. Shirayuki, you can have Touma-kun all to yourself until then.”

“Yes♪ I’ll monopolize him to my heart’s content.”

After such an exchange, Hisui left, leaving Shirayuki and me alone. 

She blushed and gazed at me without saying a word, just quietly staring at me. Whenever our eyes met, not only did I feel happy seeing her adorable expression as she relaxed her cheeks, but I also felt a sense of excitement that I could do anything I wanted with her.

“… Shirayuki!!”

“Kyaa♪“

I pushed her down, careful not to make it too heavy given my body type. 

But even when I pressed her down like this, I was exercising my core muscles as I tried to keep my body from getting too heavy, so pressing Shirayuki down was also a way to train them.

(Well, even so… when I think of her in front of me, I can endure this kind of pain without any problem.)

However, Shirayuki seemed to be aware of the current situation as well.

“Fufu, you always try not to crush me when we’re in this position.”

“Of course. Please don’t say things like that, though.”

“I understand. I know it’s a bit painful for me too… well, it’s also a pleasure and pain to be crushed to such an extent.”

No, that won’t do. I’ll just keep enduring no matter what she says.

After Shirayuki chuckled, she hugged me tightly and continued speaking.

“But please let me feel your weight someday, okay?”

“Okay. I’ll do my best to lose weight.”

I have no choice but to try my best to lose weight.

Well, as for my goal of losing weight, that’s already decided…but while I was thinking about that, Shirayuki said something like this,

“You know, I want you to lean on me in a relaxed state after s*x. We can both bask in the afterglow of feeling really good. Of course, I love it when it’s the other way around, too.”

“…Shirayuki, I’ve told you before, don’t talk about those things too much…”

“Is it because you get excited? It’s okay with me anytime though.”

“…”

This situation was getting out of hand. 

I suppressed my aroused feelings and proposed a solution.

“Shirayuki, let’s exercise together.”

This wasn’t an invitation for any lewd exercises, by the way.

Shirayuki nodded, understanding my intentions, and we both changed into workout clothes and headed out of the front door.

“Today is a new start, so let’s be motivated!”

“I feel the same way. Let’s sweat a lot♪”

“Okay!”

And so, Shirayuki and I began running together. 

However, this place was her house, which meant that Yosuke’s house was nearby as well. Little did I know that a certain resolution would be made after this day.
