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

A Kiss in the Club Room…? 2

“That’s right! Can’t we invite Hikari-chan and Chikage-chan over to our house?”

“Huh?”

“I’d like to meet and talk with them. What do you think?”

Mitsumi said happily.

In fact, Sakuto also had his reasons for wanting to introduce Mitsumi to his twin sisters.

“First, I wanted to talk about something with you, Mitsumi-san…”

＊ ＊ ＊

Time rewinded to about an hour ago.

As the end of the school day approached, Hikari had just finished reading back issues, and Sakuto and the others had finished cleaning up.

It was then that Kousaka Matori made a suggestion during their meeting to discuss future plans—

“Me? Write a career interview article?”

“Yes. Since we have the opportunity to collaborate, I was wondering if you could take on that role.”

According to Matori, the ‘Arigaku Newspaper’ published by the Newspaper Club always features a career interview article, which is filled by asking the club members’ parents or acquaintances for help.

“But, well, if you’re talking about adult acquaintances…”

Sakuto’s mother was busy and hardly had time to spare.

The only person that came to mind was—

“Oh… Mitsumi-san…”

“Hm? Who’s Mitsumi-san?”

“She’s the person I’m staying with, my aunt.”

“What does she do?”

“She’s a lawyer.”

Matori’s expression brightened at that.

“Then that’s perfect! There are students from Arisuyama Academy who want to continue and study law. Maybe a lawyer could give us what we need to write a great article!”

Thus, Sakuto was tasked with conducting the career interview, but then came the problem.

It happened after Hikari left the clubroom and met up with Chikage—

＊ ＊ ＊

“So the Newspaper Club has finally started to function properly?”

Chikage, sitting across from him at a cafe table, seemed a bit relieved.

“Well, yeah… we’ve managed to ingratiate ourselves for now. Chikage, you can go ahead with a strict audit just as planned.”

“Alright! Leave it to me!”

Chikage was brimming with enthusiasm when Hikari, now sitting next to Sakuto, started to speak.

“By the way, about the career interview thing…”

“Ah, yeah. What about it?”

“I want to interview Sakuto-kun’s aunt.”

“…yes?”

Hikari smiled brightly. Her eagerness was a good thing, but—

“Why?”

“Hehehe, I got interested after reading the back issues. The interview articles were so interesting.”

“I-I see… I’ll make sure to write an interesting interview article myself?”

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

“Hmm? Is there a reason you don’t want us to meet your aunt?”

“No, there’s no reason… Well, not exactly…”

It’s just… introducing a family member felt somewhat embarrassing for him. That’s why Sakuto felt hesitant about it.

As someone who was just staying with relatives, should he really be bringing a girl home?

(But it’s Mitsumi-san, after all…)

Mitsumi would surely agree and might even say she wants to meet her—but still, he can’t just casually tell her about it.

Nevertheless, if he invite a girl over to his house—He can’t help but think about the hassle that would follow.

“──I’m going too.”

Startled by the murmured voice, Sakuto reacted with a jolt.

“…Chikage?”

“It’s not fair! Only Hii-chan gets to meet Sakuto-kun’s aunt!?”

“No, it’s not a matter of being fair. In the first place, I haven’t agree yet──”

“Chii-chan wants to meet Sakuto-kun’s aunt too, right?”

“Yes. Meet… and maybe then… Ah… hawawa───”

Ah, it seems like another strange switch has been flipped again, Sakuto thought.

“If I were to meet Sakuto-kun’s aunt, naturally the story would reach Sakuto-kun’s parents too, right!?”

“Yeah… not just naturally, I think it would go instantly…”

“Which means───!?”

“Huhuhu, Chii-chan has realized it too?”

What does that mean?

As Sakuto was puzzling over this, Hikari opened her mouth with a smile.

“Sakuto-kun, do you understand what it means to meet a boyfriend’s relatives?”

“…No, what does it mean?”

Hikari waggled her raised index finger from side to side.

“Have you ever played the game of telephone?”

“Well, when I was in elementary school…”

“Meeting the relatives means that whatever happens, some form of message will be conveyed to Sakuto-kun’s parents. It’s like a ‘Variable Telephone Game’ where our impression can be conveyed for better or worse.”

“Variable…?”

Certainly, when playing the telephone game, the message doesn’t always get conveyed accurately──

(──Ah, I see. If appearance and personality are conveyed verbally…)

Finally, he understood what the two were trying to say.

“If Mitsumi-san gets a very good impression of us, it would be conveyed as an objective opinion to your mother. There’s also the trust between relatives, so if Mitsumi-san says it, they must think it’s accurate.”

“Exactly. Conversely, if we give a bad impression to your aunt──”

Hikari stopped there, and Chikage’s face fell into despair.

“Oh no, the pressure! Now I’m getting nervousー!”

“Wait, I haven’t said anything about doing this for real──”

“I’m not confident about my miso soup… ‘This taste is quite different? Wouldn’t it be better to go back and train from scratch?’ What if I was told something like that?”

“Uh… I’m not sure why it’s come to making miso soup, but you don’t have to worry. Mitsumi-san isn’t that picky about taste… Also, why the Kyoto dialect?”

As Sakuto looked at Chikage with dismay, Hikari gazed up at Sakuto with puppy eyes.

“Hey, do you really not want us to meet your aunt much…?”

“No matter how cutely you ask──”

──No, but still.

If it were just Hikari, Mitsumi would probably ask him a lot of questions later on.

But, if Chikage is also with them, maybe they can fool her and just say they’re close friends.

The structure of a close relationship between a twin sister and her nephew──as long as he keeps that narrative intact, surely Mitsumi wouldn’t guess that the three of them are dating.

“Alright. Then, how about on Saturday? Mitsumi-san mentioned she has the day off from work, but I’ll have to check if she has any plans…”

“Yeah! We’re good to go!”

Then Chikage started to panic as she looked at her smartphone.

“Oh no, there are only two days left! What should I do!? I haven’t made a reservation at the beauty salon! Plus, I need to do my nails, go to the spa, and get barium and X-rays too!?”

“Isn’t that last part going in a completely unrelated direction? Besides, I think she’ll be looking at your inner qualities, not your internal organs, so you can relax…”

“Health is important!”

“I-I see… that’s true, but…”

Chikage’s wild fantasies were starting to run wild again.
