hey would end up sick, so I tried to call out to them as they lay there breathing.

 

“――――you don't have to wake them up yet, you know?”

 

It was Mia, who was standing next to me, who stopped me.

 

“Why not? We can't just let them sleep here, can we?” (Rintaro)

“Well then, let's take them to your bed and let them sleep for a while.
I'd still like to talk to you…….
just you and me.” (Mia)

 

Mia's eyes narrowed as she looked at me.

I have a bad feeling that she is planning something.

But I feel like I need to get to know this girl better.

As long as she is in this room, I can't just keep avoiding her.

 

“……Alright.
Let's have a little chat.” (Rintaro)

“That's the way it has to be.” (Mia)

 

I let out a sigh and carried Rei and Kanon to the bedroom bed.

I used a slightly larger bed to make it more comfortable.

Even with two girls on it, there was still a little room to spare.

I put on a blanket to keep their bodies from getting too cold and went back to the living room.

 

“Don't be so cautious, I won't do anything to harm you.” (Mia)

“I wonder about that.
That's for me to decide.” (Rintaro)

“Yeah, I guess so.
But, I really don't want to be malicious to you, okay?” (Mia)

“This is a Translation Content of pemudatunawisata[dot]my[dot]id.
so, read only on there, kay~”

 

I made eye contact with Mia.

Her eyes were surprisingly straight, and I was momentarily at a loss for words.

 

“……
I understand.
I'm sorry for the way I treated you, as if I doubted you.
――――So, is there something you want to talk about?” (Rintaro)

“Actually, I wanted to thank you.” (Mia)

“Thanking me?” (Rintaro)

“Yup, I wanted to thank you for being with Rei.” (Mia)

 

I tilted my head.

Noticing my confusion, Mia continued,

 

“Rei has always been a very stoic person.
She's the type of person who pushes herself to the limit for the sake of being an idol.” (Mia)

“……Ah, I think I understand that.” (Rintaro)

“Right? But since she'd been in this relationship with you, she'd been better.
Rintaro-kun, has Rei ever told you about her on/off switch?” (Mia)

“Just a little bit.
She said she's only turned it off when she's with you guys and when she's at my house.” (Rintaro)

“Do you notice anything off?” (Mia)

“……It doesn't include her own house, or her parents' house, for lack of a better word.” (Rintaro)

“Correct.” (Mia)

 

Actually, I had heard that her parents were rarely home.

I had also heard that the Otosaki family was wealthy in its own right, so it must be a very venerable family.

Before being an idol, Rei might have had to keep her position as the “daughter of the Otosaki family” in the house.

So, I can't call it being turned off.

 

“The only place she could turn it off until now was when the three of us were together.
Now that you're here, there's one more place for her can do so.
You probably didn't know this, but after Rei started spending time with you, she began to smile a lot more.” (Mia)

“……That's an honor.” (Rintaro)

“Do you really think so?” (Mia)

“I do.
I have a lot of respect for Rei.
I'm glad to become one of those places.” (Rintaro)

 

I'm not going anywhere――――.

 

I was reminded that Rei had said that to me.

As long as she said that, I wouldn't want to leave her either.

Besides, if I as a man, can't support even one woman, then it's just a far-fetched dream to become a full-time househusband.

 

“Respect, huh.
Is that really all?” (Mia)

“What do you mean?” (Rintaro)

“I mean, are you not in love with her?” (Mia)

“This is a Translation Content of pemudatunawisata[dot]my[dot]id.
so, read only on there, kay~”

 

The corners of Mia's mouth lifted slightly.

Before I knew it, her seriousness had somehow vanished, and now she was just her normal self.

 

“A love, huh……
I like her, but love is another thing.
I've decided that I'm going to love one woman for the rest of my life.” (Rintaro)

“Ee……
what, what's that thought? It's so ridiculously manly.” (Mia)

“If I fall in love with her, I'll never look away.
That's why I want to choose “that” one person carefully.
Also, I can't have such feelings for someone I've only known for a month or so.” (Rintaro)

 

I can't deny the possibility that I will fall in love with her over the next six months or a year.

The only thing I can say at this point is that I “am not currently” in love.

 

“Sorry if my answer was boring.” (Rintaro)

“Yep, I think that answer is great.” (Mia)

“Huh?” (Rintaro)

“Because, I'd still have a chance, wouldn't I?” (Mia)

 

Mia licked her own lips as she said that.
