Why Not Make Both Twins 'Girlfriends'?-Chapter 5Volume 2 .1 - A Kiss in the Club Room...?

A Kiss in the Club Room…? 1

The night after Sakuto agreed to help the Newspaper Club, he returned home later than usual.

At the entrance, he found his aunt Kisezaki Mitsumi’s pumps neatly arranged, indicating she had returned before him.

The scent of dinner wafted to the entrance. It seemed like meat was on the menu tonight.

“I’m home, Mitsumi-san.”

“Welcome back, Sakuto.”

Mitsumi’s smiling face appeared from the kitchen.

Despite being in her mid-thirties, she still looked very young. Her voice is husky, which is calming and pleasant to the ear.

However, while Sakuto liked it because it sounded mature, she seemed self-conscious about her voice not being cute.

“Late today? Did you make a detour?”

“No, I was just doing some club activities today. I helped with a big cleanup in the club room.”

Mitsumi looked puzzled.

“Did you decide to join a club?”

“Not join, more like helping out. I’ll explain later──”

With that, Sakuto headed straight to his room.

After changing into his casual clothes, he returned to the living-dining area, where Mitsumi had prepared a spread of dishes that seemed more luxurious than usual, or perhaps it was just his imagination.

“What’s the occasion today? Is there something to celebrate?”

“Well, just sit down, sit down.”

Sakuto took a seat across from Mitsumi while feeling a bit suspicious as she continued to smile and gaze at him.

“Then, itadakimasu…”

“Yes, please enjoy it.”

Mitsumi was indeed in a better mood than usual.

While that was a good thing, something still felt suspicious.

She didn’t eat herself and instead watched Sakuto with a beaming smile as he had his dinner.

“What’s going on? You seem to be in a better mood than usual…”

“Well, let me ask you directly… do you have a girlfriend now?”

It was nothing unexpected.

Sakuto had anticipated that this day would come. For now, he wanted to gauge Mitsumi’s reaction.

Without confirming or denying it, Sakuto just gave Mitsumi a wry smile.

“Why would you ask that all of a sudden?”

“It’s a woman’s intuition. You’ve been spending more time taking care of yourself, and you’ve been looking at your smartphone more often. Ah yes, speaking of your smartphone, you’ve started placing it face down on the table, and you even take it with you to the bathroom… So, I thought maybe there’s something you can’t tell me even though we’re living together and all.”

Her ‘intuition’ sounded more like she had conducted a detailed investigation.

Could a smartphone really reveal so much? Sakuto thought.

Perhaps he should be more careful in the future.

“And then there’s the talk of going on a trip during the summer break. Suddenly wanting to go on a trip… I wondered what got into you.”

“Well,, that’s because I wanted to go with two of my classmates…”

“I can see it, I can see it〜… Sakuto, there’s an increasing amount of pink aura behind you〜”

“Oh… have you suddenly awakened to spiritual abilities…?”

Sakuto asked, half in amazement, and Mitsumi laughed, saying, ‘Just kidding.’

“Actually, I happened to see you returning home with two girls at the station today.”

“What!?”

“You went to a cafe in front of the station arm in arm huh? Oh to be young, ufufu.”

He felt as if he had been dealt with a finishing blow.

However, it was too early to give up. At this stage, he could still make the excuse that he had merely stopped by the cafe with a pair of close twin sisters.

Even so, Mitsumi seemed to be having fun as she gazed at Sakuto’s face.

“Those twin girls were super cute, huh? Is one of them a potential girlfriend?”

“No, they’re not candidates for a girlfriend…”

He couldn’t say that both of them were already his girlfriends.

“Is that so? That seems like such a waste…”

Mitsumi pondered while resting her chin on her hand.

For the time being, it seemed she was satisfied with the idea of her nephew being sandwiched between the twin sisters.

“So, who exactly are those twin sisters?”

“They’re called the Usami sisters in schools and they are really smart kids. They have different personalities but are kind, serious, and reliable people.”

Then Mitsumi grinned.

“Their eyes were like those of girls in love when they look at a boy they like.”

“I-is that so…?”

“Oh my, being oblivious is not good, you know? Pretending not to know when you do know isn’t great either. Especially with twins—you might hurt their feelings if you get their names wrong by mistake, so be careful when interacting with them, okay?”

For Sakuto, who had mistaken not only the person to respond to a confession but also the person to kiss, Mitsumi’s words stung his heart.

Sakuto thought he had to be grateful for Hikari and Chikage’s tolerance.

“As for that, well, it’s okay… I made ‘various’ mistakes at first, but I won’t make any more mistakes now.”

Hearing this, Mitsumi chuckled.

“That’s what’s good about you, Sakuto. You don’t lump people together. You try to look at each person and talk to them properly. Maybe that’s why the twin girls like you?”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, really—So, what are the names of those twin girls?”

“The older sister is Hikari, and the younger one is Chikage. They’re both in the same year and they’re in different classes from me, but—”

——Sakuto felt that it was not a good idea to talk too much about the Usami sisters.

Mitsumi is a lawyer who argues logically in court.

If he carelessly blurts out something, she might reach the truth.

He need to try to be very careful in choosing his words as they speak. That being said, he feel like he might slip up someday.

It’s time to change the subject.

“By the way, why are you in such a good mood today, Mitsumi-san?”

“I’ve finally finished a case I was working on. It’s a celebration for that, and also a celebration for Sakuto-kun making two cute friends.”

“T-thank you…”

Looking at Mitsumi’s smiling face, he felt a twinge of guilt.

He couldn’t tell Mitsumi, who always worried about him, that they were his girlfriends.

He felt bad for lying that they were just his friends.
