Chapter 81

"No matter what happened... it was Hachiman-kun's fault, right? He so proudly... called me "my girl''...

Even after the discussion, Arisu was acting strange, so I asked her to check on her health.

When I was worried, Arisu turned bright red and glared at me with teary eyes as she said that... (...Eh? Did I say that?)

I remember the discussion earlier. In the first half, Ryuen was unilaterally blaming them, so in the second half...ah.

---Maybe you want to tell me not to take away that child's future, but when she aims at my girl's life, your daughter is beyond my murderous intent...! ーーーー

Yeah, it was something like that.

When Kushida's mother tried to stop me from suing, I did say that, yeah.

In other words, I unconsciously thought of Arisu as my girl. And since Hiyori and Masumi are just as important to me as Arisu, there is no doubt that I subconsciously think of Hiyori and Masumi as my girls as well.

(No, no, my face gets hot just remembering it...)

It's true that I've kissed them, taken baths with them, confessed to them, and laid hands on them, but I've never thought of them as my girls.

Even though they confessed, the three of them told me to answer who I would choose as their number one by the time they graduated, and it turned out to be a no-brainer.

"Ah... I'm sorry. Was it unpleasant for you to treat me like I owned you?"

Arisu was the type of person who didn't like being subordinated to someone, and maybe she was angry.

"That's not true. I know that Hachiman-kun doesn't treat me like an object. In fact, I'm happy that Hachiman-kun thinks of me as his own girl..."

Arisu approaches me, still blushing, and looks up at me. A cool Arisu is good, but a spoiled Arisu who won't show it to anyone other than me is the best.

"I see... well, as long as you're happy, that's fine."

I stroke Arisu's head with my uninjured right hand, and Arisu twists around as if she's ticklish.

It's also so cute that I feels like dying.

"...Yes. By the way, Hachiman-kun. Do you think the same way about Masumi-san and Hiyori-san?"

"Well, I guess so."

"I see… It would have been fine if I was the only one that Hachiman-kun thought was his girl, but… it's a shame."

Arisu says it with regret, but in my heart, I value the three of them equally.

There is no guarantee that you will be able to decide who will be number one by the time you graduate.

"Sorry"

"No. Please take your time and think about it before you graduate. And you don't have to force yourself to make a decision, okay?"

"Is it so?"

"Yes. If Hachiman-kun chooses either Hiyori-san or Masumi-san as number one at graduation, I won't give up and will go and steal the number one spot."

Right. Given Arisu's personality, I don't think she would be satisfied with being ranked number two.

"Well, that's fine for now. More importantly, I have a favor to ask of you, Hachiman-kun."

"What?"

When I asked that, Arisu started acting embarrassed. I have a really bad feeling...

"Well...I understand most of the feelings that Hachiman-kun has for us, so...please tell me about those feelings from Hachiman-kun's mouth."

When I heard Arisu's request, I felt the heat build up on my face again. Well, what it means is that you should honestly confess your feelings...

To be honest, it's embarrassing, but given Arisu's personality, there is no doubt that she will never back down, so will you make up your mind?

That's when I thought about it.

"'Hachiman (you)'"

Hiyori and Masumi come from the other side of the hallway. I feel sorry for her as I look at her with a worried expression on her face.

"Are you done talking?"

"Did you run into any trouble?"

The two approached me with worried expressions on their faces.

When I look at them like that, I can't help but understand that they are loved, and I'm happy, and at the same time, I think that I have romantic feelings for them, just like Arisu.

"It's okay. Thank you."

Although I felt embarrassed, I felt refreshed and thanked the two people who had worried about me.

""Ah...""

In response, the two of them looked up at me in shock. Moreover, when Arisu saw me, her mouth started to drop open and she was like, did I say something weird?

"what's up?"

"No. What can I say..."

"It might be my imagination, but your eyes are starting to look less cloudy."

"Seriously?"

I couldn't help but listen back to Masumi's words. Cloudy eyes are one of my characteristics, so it was unexpected that it was starting to disappear.

"Yes. The turbidity has become lighter and the gentleness has become stronger."

Arisu says this while nodding. For me, it doesn't matter whether my eyes are cloudy or not...

"Do you guys hate these eyes?"

The only question is whether or not the three of them hate this look.

"No. I won't hate Hachiman-kun just because of his beautiful eyes."

Hiyori immediately denies it, and Arisu and Masumi nod in agreement.

Then there's nothing to worry about. As long as the three of you don't hate me, there's no problem.

"Well, Hachiman-kun. Please continue what you said earlier. The three of us have just arrived."

Arisu repeats what she said earlier. Hiyori and Masumi, who don't know the situation, have a question mark in their heads, but that means confess to all three of them at the same time, right? It's so embarrassing...

Well, it's unethical not to give a clear response when someone confesses to you, so I just ignore the embarrassment.

but...

"I understand that, but would you like to change places first?"

This is in front of the reception room.

Fortunately, the conversation didn't end inside, so it's fine, but it's not a place to stay for too long.

15 minutes later...

"Well then, Hachiman-kun?"

When I returned to my dorm room, Arisu looked at me with expectant eyes.

Hiyori and Masumi, who haven't heard anything about the situation yet, have a suspicious look on their faces, but perhaps because they've seen Arisu's mood, they have high expectations.

If you come this far, running away isn't an option...

"...Ah, I know. You guys remember the night of the sports festival, right?"

Well, I don't think I'll ever forget such an impactful event.

"Yes. I confessed my feelings to Hachiman-kun, and the three of us pushed Hachiman-kun down."

And it was eaten by three people. Well, I ate them back after that.

"Well, then, I would like to respond to the three people's confessions."

After saying that, I take a deep breath. At that time, when I glanced at the three of them, they were watching my every move, even though their cheeks were blushing.

Then I take a deep breath and open my mouth.

"I'll reply to you again. Me too...I love all three of you as members of the opposite sex."

The three people in front of me turned bright red at those words, but I was probably blushing too.

But now that I've come this far, I can't stop myself, and I'm going to reveal my true feelings.

"So...I haven't decided yet on who you guys are going to put first..."

I will separate once. Because if you say this, no matter what the consequences are, you won't be able to go back.

But I didn't have a choice not to say it. It would be a betrayal to not speak my true feelings to the three people who accepted me and showered me with love.

and...

"It hasn't been decided yet, but I will definitely take responsibility. So in the future... move to a country where polygamy is recognized and marry me...!"

I will propose marriage to three people. My shoulders feel lighter, probably because I was able to throw everything at the same time.

But at the same time, I get nervous about the responses from the three of them.

Even though I live with three people, there is no doubt that my comment "all three of us should get married" is abnormal from a third party's perspective.

I look down and wait for a reply, even though I'm nervous inside. To be honest, I can't see the faces of the three of them now.

Then, I felt like there was a conversation going on above me, so when I looked up a little, I saw three people sitting close to each other and talking about something.

I don't know what they're talking about, but just as I'm wondering if it's better not to ask, Hiyori appears to have finished speaking and takes a step forward.

"Hachiman-kun, please raise your head."

When I heard that, I looked up and faced Hiyori. When I looks at the three of them, her cheeks are flushed but she has a serious expression on her face.

"I just have one question. Will you make us happy, Hachiman-kun?"

She asks such questions. I open my mouth, thinking that if I look away, I'll lose.

"...I don't know if I can make you happy. But I absolutely promise that I will do my best to make you happy."

I don't know how high the bar for happiness is for the three of them, so I don't know if I can make them happy.

I really want to make you happy, so I will do my best. If they aren't satisfied with that, then that's it.

"I don't hate being honest. As long as Hachiman-kun tries to make us happy, we have nothing to complain about."

"Oh! Then..."

When I looked at the three of them again, they had kind expressions on their faces...

"Yes, please marry us.''

They accepted my proposal. Woohoo!!

The three of them smile at me.

As soon as I understood that, a happiness like I had never felt before was born inside me.

I feel like my mouth is about to go slack with joy.

"Oh, is it really that good?"

I can't help but ask a question. If this is a prank, I'll seriously kill myself, right?

Leave me like that somewhere else...

"Yes. I want to marry Hachiman-kun."

"I have no intention of ending up with a boy other than Hachiman-kun."

"On the contrary, you made me become a spoiled child, so it's normal for you to take responsibility."

Three people say so. Make my heart flutter with that glossy expression on my face.

"Then that's good..."

"Yes, but why did you propose at this timing?"

"Did something happen during the discussion?"

Hiyori and Masumi, who weren't participating in the discussion, asked me that question, so I looked at Arisu, who was participating in the discussion, and then I explained.

The two of them nod in agreement when they hear what happened at that time.

"I see. I never thought Hachiman would call Sakayanagi his girl."

"I'm jealous. I want to be talked about like that too... Hachiman-kun."

"What?"

I have a bad feeling that Hiyori will call me again. In fact, I can't help but feel like I'm going to embarrass myself.

"Please whisper love to me...I'm jealous of Arisu-san."

My bad feeling came true. Hiyori's cheeks turn red and she looks at me with a dejected expression.

Of course it's not that I don't like it, but saying it unconsciously and saying it consciously is completely different. It's pretty embarrassing to say it again.

That's what I thought...

"Understood..."

I don't have the confidence to resist Hiyori's dejected expression, so I decide to accept. It's too late since I proposed anyway.

Having made that decision, I faced Hiyori and opened my mouth.

"Hiyori, I met you on the first day of school, and I think I made the right decision by reading the book at that time."

"That's what made me want to talk to Hachiman-kun. Thinking about it that way, I'm glad Hachiman-kun was reading the book."

I guess so. If I had had my cell phone in my hand instead of a book at that time, I wouldn't have had the relationship I had with Hiyori.

"Ah. Even though various things happened after that, she still accepted my proposal."

"Yes. A lot happened, but it's a good memory."

"Me too. I'll say it again...I love you, Hiyori. Let's continue to make happy memories."

Tsk...

After saying that, I take Hiyori's lips and Hiyori closes her eyes and accepts my kiss.

Normally, I would like to hug her, but since I am injured, that is not possible.

"Puh... yes. I love you too, Hachiman-kun. We're happy now, but please make us even happier by getting married, okay?"

"ah"

After saying that, I will kiss you again.

I've already kissed you thousands of times, but maybe because I proposed to you, I feel much happier than before.

"Hehe...Hawaii is a good place to go on a honeymoon."

Hiyori smiles when she says that, but my fiance is super cute.

As I was thinking about this, I felt someone's eyes on me, so when I looked away from Hiyori, Arisu and Masumi were staring at me.

Is this that? Do you want me to do what I did to Hiyori?

As I was thinking about this, Masumi came towards me, and as if Hiyori had guessed it, she took a step back and was inevitably in a situation where I was facing Masumi.

"...Hachiman"

"What's up?"

"I can't do it anymore."

"What?"

I don't know what to do unless you tell me specifically.

"I love Hachiman so much...I've always said that, but when he proposed to me, my feelings became even stronger. I can't live without Hachiman anymore..."

Masumi looks at me with a lustrous gaze. Hiyori just now had a strong tone of kindness, but now Masumi has a strong tone of eroticism.

"Me too. I can't imagine a life without you either. I'll do my best to make you happy, so please don't leave me."

"It's okay. As long as I'm with Hachiman, that alone makes me happy... I love you..."

Tsk...

Masumi says that and kisses me, so I kiss her back as well. She is usually a cool Masumi, but now she is a spoiled Masumi.

And I'm the happiest person in the world to be able to see the spoiled Masumi forever.

"Thank you. I love you too."

I caress Masumi's head with my right hand. Then Masumi smiles, looking happier than she has ever shown before. This freaks me out.

At this point, Arisu's gaze became stronger, so I glanced at the side and saw Arisu moving her weak body and coming towards me.

Then Masumi, like Hiyori from earlier, took a step back and now I faced Arisu.

And then I open my mouth.

"Like Hiyori, I met you on the first day of school, but back then I was always swayed..."

"That's right. I won't deny that when we first met, you were a toy worth teasing."

At that time, I was being swayed so much that I didn't feel like I could win.

After all, within a week of enrolling, I was accused of double-crossing.

Well, it's true that I thought it was fun.

"However, as time went on, I started to realize how attractive Hachiman-kun was, and little by little I started to see him as someone of the opposite sex.''

"We're mutual."

When I first entered the school, I thought I was in a relationship where I would be teased and made fun of, but after I ran into someone I knew from middle school and they accepted my past, I gradually started to see them as someone of the opposite sex, and before I knew it, she had become someone important to me.

"And now, I've fallen in love with Hachiman-kun so much that he proposed to me... Hachiman-kun."

"What?"

"From now on, Hachiman's life will not only belong to him, but also to me, to us. However, at the same time, our lives will not only belong to us, but also to Hachiman-kun, so we will cherish them forever.''

"...Ah. It's the life of someone I love, so I vow to cherish it."

"...yes, I love it..."

Tsk...

Arisu closes her eyes and kisses me, so I kiss her back. Just like the kisses I had with Hiyori and Masumi earlier, kisses that feel like vows make me happy.

I feel like I'm going to die from being so happy.

When I finished kissing Arisu and parted our lips, Arisu looked at me with a dark look in her eyes.

"Arisu Hikigaya... that's good."

I couldn't be happier to say something. It's only natural that you change your last name when you get married, but I'm overly happy about that.

"Hiyori Hikigaya... that's good. I want to do that as soon as possible."

"Masumi Hikigaya... that's good. I don't know what I'll do after graduation, but I want to change my last name as soon as possible."

Arisu Hikigaya, Hiyori Hikigaya, Masumi Hikigaya...they're the best. I want to get married soon and build a happy family.

For that reason, I have to improve my skills even more at this school and use them as weapons for the future.

Anyway, it's still good for now. Right now, I want to spend some peaceful time with Hiyori and the others.

That's how I got three fiancées today.

"Shit!"

Kikyo Kushida, who is kept in the punishment room, kicks the bed while yelling.

Kushida has already kicked her bed dozens of times, so her legs are sore and the bed is in tatters, but Kushida continues to kick it.

Poor bed-chan.

Because now that she has been expelled from school, she can't help but do everything she can.

"Don't be silly! You put me through this! Ryuen and Hikigaya both die! Die, die, die, die!"

Not satisfied with just the bed, she also kicks the wall.

"Don't enroll in this school, Horikita! If you hadn't enrolled, this wouldn't have happened! You're so arrogant and annoying!"

Finally, she kicks in the door of the punishment room. There's already a dent in the door, but Kushida doesn't stop kicking.

"You scum! I tried to be nice to everyone, but you betrayed me!"

Repeating the absolute eight hits. As always, Kushida doesn't think in the slightest that what she did was evil.

That was then.

"Kikyo"

A voice comes from the speaker in the punishment room. At the same time, Kushida stops attacking her and looks shocked.

"Oh, dad..."

Kushida becomes suspicious when she hears her father's voice. A sigh can be heard coming from the speakers towards Kushida.

"After the discussion, I came to see how things were going, but it's refreshing to see that you're not showing any remorse at all, so I'm just giving up. Mom is also crying.''

As Kushida listens to her father's words, she hears sobbing coming from the speakers.

"Wait, dad. This isn't right!"

"Stop making lame excuses. I came here to talk about the future. In conclusion, I was fined by Ryuen Kakeru because I paid a settlement fee, but Hikigaya Hachiman seems to be filing a complaint with the police, so if you are expelled from school, the school will hand you over to the police.''

"...Huh? W-what police?"

Kushida is taken aback by the unexpected remark. She does not blame the people who degraded her, and Kushida is unable to believe or accept the unreasonable events that resulted in her being expelled from school and being taken into the care of the police.

"Wait! That's not true...!"

"No matter what you say, it's decided. Also, let me tell you one more thing...after I pay the settlement fee, I will cut ties with you as a parent and child.''

"Na!"

Kushida is at a loss for words at those words. She is speechless as the story unfolds, but her father's story continues.

"You caused trouble in junior high school, caused an injury incident in high school, and after that, you showed no remorse and attacked poeple...I paid the settlement fee, but I don't know what happened next.''

"Wait! I'll reflect! So...!"

Kushida becomes desperate. She was here because she thought that if her parents abandoned her, her life would come to a standstill, no joke.

but...

"I'm disappointed in you. If something like this happens, it was a mistake to have a child.''

The call was cut off after those words.

"Ah, ah, ah..."

Kushida realizes that she has been completely abandoned. In addition, due to Ryuen's betrayal, her classmates turned against her, her secret was revealed, she was beaten as hard as she could by Hachiman, and she was restrained by a security guard and thrown into the punishment room.

emerges in her head...

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Kushida scratches her head as her mind becomes a mess. As a result, her hair fell apart and blood began to bleed from her scalp, but Kushida, who had lost everything, was unable to think and could only scream.

As a result, Kushida continued to scream until she was handed over to the police, who placed her in full body restraints and escorted her away.

The Next day...

1st year D class Kikyo Kushida

The person above will be expelled from the school.

A piece of paper with that written on it, was posted on the bulletin board.
