Why Not Make Both Twins 'Girlfriends'?-Chapter 6Volume 2 .1 - At Boyfriends House...?
At Boyfriend’s House…? 1
──Coming up on Saturday, July 9th.
The intercom rang around eleven o’clock while Mitsumi and Sakuto were spending time in the living room.
When Sakuto opened the front door, the Usami sisters were standing there.
──The moment had finally arrived.
“Hey, Sakuto-kun! Thanks for having us today!”
“H-Hello〜 Sorry for intruding〜”
Hikari was all smiles while Chikage seemed a bit tense.
The sisters’ outfits for the day were somewhat reserved, giving off a modest and neat impression. They had probably toned it down a notch to meet Mitsumi.
Then Mitsumi arrived.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Sakuto’s aunt, Kisezaki Mitsumi. Just call me Mitsumi, okay?”
“N-nice to meet you…”
“Um…he-hello…”
The twin sisters looked taken aback.
And no wonder—Mitsumi was dressed to the nines.
Her makeup and hairstyle were on point, and she was adorned head to toe with brand-name items.
Confronted with Mitsumi adult charm, the sisters couldn’t hide their surprise.
Sakuto felt somewhat embarrassed because he knew what Mitsumi was usually like. She was typically dressed more plainly and focused on functionality, but she somehow had gone all out today.
According to Mitsumi, she was dressed up because she would be photographed for an interview and wanted to look presentable as Sakuto’s aunt.
Indeed, she looked more beautiful than usual──
The atmosphere tensed for a moment, but then Hikari broke the ice with her friendly smile.
“I’m Usami Hikari, the older sister. And this is──”
“I’m Usami Chikage, the younger sister…”

Chikage was still not quite calm.
On the other hand, Hikari was impressive. Whether she was not nervous at all or just good at hiding it, she had a nice smile on her face.
“I’ve heard about you two from Sakuto, and you’re both really cute! Right, Sakuto?”
“Ahahaha…yeah〜”
Sakuto was sweating bullets while slowly getting a bad feeling about this.
* * *
It felt awkward to keep standing at the entrance, so he led the two sisters into the living room.
They sat down on the three-seater sofa, and Sakuto, who would normally sit between them, chose a dining chair instead.
While preparing tea, Mitsumi struck up a conversation with the Usami sisters from across the kitchen counter.
“Sakuto never talks about school at home. What’s he usually like?”
Chikage swallowed nervously and exchanged nods with Hikari.
They have agreed beforehand to stick to harmless topics──
“He’s super cool!”
” “…What?” “
Both Mitsumi and Sakuto were taken aback.
“Ah… I mean! He’s better at studying and sports than most people, and he’s also been helping out with the Newspaper Club activities. I wanted to say that those things make him kind and cool!”
Sakuto couldn’t help but feel anxious as Chikage hurriedly explained.
Mitsumi seemed pleased with the high praise her nephew had received.
“I see. Sakuto, isn’t it nice to be told you’re cool?”
She turned to the wryly smiling Sakuto.
“Ahahaha… I wonder…”
When he looked at Chikage, she blushed deeply and looked down.
It was an extremely obvious reaction, but being too obvious today was especially bad. It might be better not to say too much.
“Hikari-san, what do you think of Sakuto?”
“Well… As Chikage said, he’s cool, but I think that’s definitely because he lives with Mitsumi-san.”
“And what does that mean?”
“He’s polite in the way he interacts with girls, and it’s comfortable to be around him. That’s why both Chikage and I end up getting spoiled by him…”
Sakuto thought to himself that she was indeed skilled at conversation.
He even wondered if she could be a little more adept if she pretended to be Chikage.
“Wow, to be doted on by two such cute people—it must be nice, huh, Sakuto?”
“Ahahaha… I guess so…”
Once again, Sakuto gave a wry smile.
“So, which one is your type, Sakuto?”
“Ahahaha… what—!?”
Caught off guard by the unexpected question, Sakuto turned red.
“Oh, I’d really like to know that too. Could you tell us, Sakuto-kun?”
“Which type do you prefer, Sakuto-kun!?”
Hikari probably joined in on Mitsumi’s question on purpose, but Chikage leaned forward over the table to ask.
(Chikage’s reaction is going to give us away…)
Sakuto took a moment to calm down and then spoke softly.
“Mitsumi-san, that’s a little difficult to answer…”
When he replied seriously, Mitsumi and Hikari chuckled.
“That was just a joke. I was just testing your reaction, Sakuto.”
“I didn’t expect you to take it seriously. Sorry for teasing you, Sakuto-kun.”
Hikari said while laughing along with Mitsumi.
“Ah? It was a joke?”
Not only Sakuto but Chikage blushed with embarrassment and looked down after hearing that.
That’s pretty bad. Normally, she might have realized it was a joke, but her composure was certainly off today.
“Well, anyway, I think I understand. Hikari-chan and Chikage-chan like Sakuto, right?”
” ” “…!?” ” “
Just as Sakuto wondered if it had been a mistake to bring the two together,
“Yes, we like him. Both Chikage and I really respect Sakuto-kun——”
Hikari skillfully shifted the conversation from a romantic ‘like’ to a platonic ‘like’ for a person.
“Ohh, does Chikage-chan like him too?”
“Y-yes! I like him from the bottom of my heart…!”
Chikage answered honestly. Even though Hikari had tried to change the subject, it felt as if Chikage was determined to bring it back to where it started.
“Ah, I mean, I respect him! I’m sorry if I gave you the wrong impression!”
“Fufu, I see… It must be nice to be so admired, huh, Sakuto?”
“Ahahaha… I guess so…”
He felt as if he wasn’t really here.
Hikari was handling the situation well, but Chikage didn’t seem quite cut out for this sort of thing.
“So, what about Sakuto do you respect?”
Mitsumi asked, and before giving Chikage time to think, Hikari spoke up first.
“I used to miss a lot of school, but thanks to Sakuto-kun, I’ve been able to attend regularly. How should I put it… Both my sister and I have been helped by him so much that Sakuto-kun is like a savior to us. That’s why I want the three of us to continue to be good friends.”
Then, Chikage also began to speak calmer this time.
“I’ve admired Sakuto-kun since junior high school. He’s good at studying but doesn’t boast about it, and he really helped me out during an event recently. He’s reliable when you’re in trouble, and I enjoy being able to spend time together like this.”
Hikari nodded with a smile aAs Chikage spoke.
The way they spoke could be interpreted as either romantic or platonic, but there was a sense of 『truth』 in their words. Mitsumi must have wondered how to take it.
For now, Sakuto’s face was lit with a smile.
“Thank you, both of you. It’s because of you two that I enjoy going to school every day. I’ve been supported by you far more than you think, so I’d be grateful if we could continue to get along.”
Then Mitsumi giggled with an understanding look.
“Just watching the three of you makes me happy. By the way, Chikage-chan and Hikari-chan, what were your plans for lunch?”
“Mitsumi-san, we were thinking of eating somewhere with Sakuto-kun after the interview with you. We talked about having a study session together since it’s right before the end-of-term tests.”
Hikari replied immediately.
“Then, I’ll prepare something, and we can do the interview after that? Since we’re all here, you might as well have the study session at my place.”
Mitsumi said cheerfully.
The Usami sisters seemed to have won her over, so Sakuto felt relieved for the time being.
* * *
“First, please tell me what inspired you to become a lawyer.”
“Well, I was influenced by a drama I saw a long time ago──”
After lunch, the interview with Mitsumi from Hikari began.
Sakuto was surprised by Hikari’s different manner of speaking, but she communicated well, occasionally interspersing questions with light-hearted banter.
She seemed like someone used to this kind of thing, and Sakuto felt as if he was seeing a new side of Hikari.
