Chapter 43 - Entangling Yet Comfortable

"…I'm happy but a bit tired."

I stretched myself out in the room.

After we took a bath, Eri-chan whispered to me, "Next, let's continue in the room, okay?" and took me away and I was helpless.

Eri-chan was looking at me with her eyes full of heat, and Miho-san was really trying to seduce me. It was a really difficult situation.

Eri-chan and Miho-san went to sleep happily, but I couldn't sleep for some reason and went outside once to cool down.

"It's cool."

It's beautiful here.

There is a lot of nature and a feeling of peace and tranquility.

Suddenly, my eyes were covered from behind.

"Guess who?"

"…It's Miho-san, isn't it?"

"Correct."

When I turned around, Miho-san was looking at me with a smile on her face.

"Why is Miho-san here?"

"I saw Yukishiro-kun leaving, so I followed him. Was that bad?"

"No, not at all."

"I'm glad. What were you doing, Yukishiro-kun?"

"I was a little, too intense, so… I'm here to cool off."

"Fufu, yeah, you're right. It's been a while since we've been so intense like that."

Miho-san had a glazed look on her face and put her hand on her cheek.

Eri-chan was amazing, but if I had to choose… Miho-san's allure as a mature woman, her usual composed demeanor with a hint of disarray, was unlike her usual self. That unexpected display of vulnerability got me quite excited.

"Hey, Yukishiro-kun."

"What is it?"

"Thank you for becoming a family with us."

"What so suddenly?"

"Because… I don't think I can say it unless it's a time like this."

"I see."

Miho-san had a seemingly casual expression, yet she looked at me directly in the eyes.

"I realized even more after we started dating that I'm glad it was Yukishiro-kun who saved Eri at that time."

"…Thank you very much. I'm glad I could help Eri-chan and Miho-san too."

"I don't think this would have happened if a different person had helped her at that time. Eri is sensitive to people's evil intentions. If the person who saved her had been a different person and had looked at Eri in a slightly evil way, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

That's why… She stopped right there and pulled her head close to my chest.

"Thank you, I love you. I'll always be with you. Always."

I gently brought my eyes to Miho-san's face.

Miho-san's face may be filled with compassion, but…her eyes seemed unusually clouded. Perhaps it's just my imagination.

But it's fine.

There is no way for me to escape this entangling yet comfortable spider web…

"Yes, I want to be with you forever too."
