Why Not Make Both Twins 'Girlfriends'?-Chapter 7Volume 1 .3 - Both Twins at Once...?

Both Twins at Once…?  3

“Why not make both twins your girlfriends?”

That’s certainly an option——but it’s not a feasible one.

At this suggestion, both Sakuto and Chikage were taken aback, but Hikari politely bowed.

“So, thank you for ultimately choosing both of us. Please take care of Chii-chan and me from now on?”

“Wait a minute, Hikari… It’s too early to make a final decision…”

Sakuto put his right palm forward in a stopping gesture.

“Now that we’re his girlfriend, should we call Sakuto-kun, ‘Darling’?”

“Ah, um… Why did you end with ‘Darling’? No, I mean, wouldn’t Chikage be against it?──Right?”

When Sakuto sought agreement, Chikage groaned as if restraining herself.

“I also… feel… well, maybe not if it were any other girl, no, but since it’s Hii-chan, because it’s Hii-chan──Ughh…but it’s more ‘no’ than ‘yes’…”

“Of course it’s definitely more ‘no’ than ‘yes’! You can’t compromise just because she’s your sister! Don’t hesitate! You’re not that kind of girl!”

“If Darling says so…”

“Did you say ‘Darling’!?”

It was total chaos. Chikage seemed ready to enter a three-person relationship.

Rather, neither seemed willing to back down.

‘What to do in this situation?’ he wondered.

‘More importantly, was Chikage really okay with this?’ Hopefully, she wasn’t broken by the absurdity of the situation.

“Wait, stop, this is moving too fast to keep up… Can you give me a moment to sort this out?”

Sakuto’s mind was spinning but in the opposite direction than usual.

I see, I don’t get it──no, of course it wouldn’t make sense. Not by any standard of common sense.

“I-I think H-Hikari’s proposal is very attractive… But I think it’s problematic from a common-sense standpoint… Don’t you think so, Chikage-san?”

“Call me Honey.”

“Uh, I won’t call you that…for now, are you okay, Chikage-san?”

Worried that she might have been overwhelmed by the absurdity of the situation, Sakuto cautiously observed Chikage, who seemed to have regained her composure.

“But… if Takayashiki-kun ends up with two girlfriends, and we both end up sharing the same boyfriend, isn’t that… kind of problematic from a common sense perspective?”

“That’s right! Good point, Chikage-san!”

Sakuto clenched his fist in agreement.

“But I mean, ‘What’s the use of bringing common sense to this absurd situation?’~don’t you think so?”

“No-no! That’s not right! What are you saying, Hikari? Don’t confuse Chikage-san!”

“Eh~?”

“Don’t ‘Eh~?’ me! Adding two nonsenses together still results in nonsense!”

“Hmm? Then maybe we should try multiplying it? Or… squaring it?”

“How would you do that!? Teach me that calculation!”

No matter what, this line must not be crossed.

“Does Chii-chan worry about what others think? Can you give up on Sakuto-kun because of that?”

“Of course I ca… I can’t! I don’t want to!”

Hikari smiles brightly.

“Then, let’s decide democratically by majority vote?”

“What did you say?”

“Those in favor of the three of us dating, raise your hand.”

Hikari raises her hand, followed slowly by Chikage. Two against one──it’s decided.

‘No-no-no-no, I can’t just be swayed like this.’

If the unreasonable prevails, reason retreats.

There should be at least one person continuing to oppose.

“Tha… That’s just tyranny of the majority!”

“It’s democracy, right?”

“The minority opinion should be considered! In this case, that’s me!”

“I just want us to reach a clear agreement and create a bright, happy future.”

“What about my will!?”

Then Hikari traced her lips with her little finger, and a dreamy look appeared on her face.

“Sakuto-kun’s kiss was wonderful… I want to do it again…”

“Ugh!?”

“Chii-chan wants to do it too, right?”

“Y-yes… I-I want to… and I also want to be hugged tightly…”

“——————!?”

At this moment, Sakuto’s resolve completely wavered.

He even thought to himself that he was really weak.

“No, but still, if you think about it from a common-sense perspective…”

“It’s fine if no one finds out, right?”

“No, it’s not just about that… That could become a problem too, but from my perspective, it’s about dating both of you at the same time. Wouldn’t it be bad if there were any differences…?”

“What’s that? That’s easy.”

Hikari raised her index finger confidently.

“All Sakuto-kun has to do is love both of us equally.”

“Am I a God!? Only a God can love people equally!”

“Hmm… Is that the so-called divine response?”

“Not at all! It’s worse than being insincere!”

Sakuto racked his brain, but Hikari was quick to retort, moving at twice his speed.

He desperately wanted to stop this flow of conversation.

The back-and-forth continued, but finally, Hikari showed a troubled expression.

“Hmm… I think it’s a nice idea though…”

“Well, true, as Takayashiki-kun says, it’s insincere…”

And with that, Chikage also seemed to return to her usual demeanor.

Relieved that they were back to square one, Sakuto relaxed a bit.

“If we’re sincere with each other, isn’t that okay? Of course, if we’re both sincere, I don’t see a problem.”

“The problem isn’t us, it’s the situation. People around us would think it’s strange, right?”

“…Inagawa-san?”

“No, I’m not saying it like that. But Junji-san would be creeped out, wouldn’t he…”

“Hmm… So, Chii-chan, what you’re worried about isn’t our relationship, but what other people think?”

“Uh… well, yeah, something like that.”

(TN: I don’t get this reference.)

Hearing this, Hikari seemed to have another idea.

Considering the flow of the conversation so far, it doesn’t seem promising, but he decided to hear it out────

“Hey, Chii-chan. Hypothetically, if we were dating Sakuto-kun and someone asked if you have a boyfriend, what would you say?”

“Eh? I would say… I have one, I guess. I don’t want to lie…”

Then she turned to ask Sakuto.

“Hey, Sakuto-kun. Hypothetically, if you were dating us and someone asked if you have a girlfriend, what would you say?”

“Uh, I’d say I have one, but…”

“Do you think someone would ask how many girlfriends you have?”

——Sakuto was struck by the thought.

“No, they wouldn’t… Normally, people don’t ask about the number of girlfriends…”

“Right. So, here’s the thing. Most people, like Chii-chan said, assume a one-on-one relationship, so they won’t ask about the number. Even if the three of us were walking together, people wouldn’t think we were dating. They’d probably just think you’re close friends with twins, right?”
