Ch.16 The Heroines Go Out of Control. Mahiro is Forced to Sign The Marriage Form.

Summary of the previous chapter.

I (female) was given a pink piece of paper (marriage registration form) by two of my friends (also female).

...No, what is this?

What is this situation noja?

Why do I wake up to two mostly filled out marriage registration forms? Eh? Huh?

"...Let me ask you something. Well, I kind of understand, but... Why do you two have a marriage registration form ja? And why is it almost completely filled out?"

"Ah, yes. We wrote it."

"'We wrote it' is not the answer I want... why do you have it with you?! Is that not strange!? Normally, now is not the time to bring a marriage registration form, right!? So why do you have two of them?! Or rather, why is the part about blood relatives already filled in?! is that not strange!?"

Even though I am a lazy person and have been called the sleep demon king, I just cannot help but point that out!

"...Hmm? If I look closely... Wait! My family's seal!? Why is it there!? My parents are at work right now and should not be around here!?"

It has a cherry blossom stamp on it!

Why ja!?

"Ah, Otou-sama prepared that part for us."

"T-the President?!"

"Apparently, they know each other."

"Why?! Why are my parents acquainted with your company president noja?!"

"I asked but they wouldn't tell me, so I don't know how they know each other either... I'm sorry."

"'Tis fine... no, 'tis not fine! Hey, does this mean our parents approved it!?"

"That's right!"

"WHY JAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaa---!"

T-those stupid parents of miiiiiiiiiiineeeeeee!!!

Wh-what is going on here!?

I-if it comes to this...!

"...Hello? Father?"

'Tis complain call time ja!

『Oh, what's up Mahiro? It's rare for you to call me--』

"What are you guys thinking?! Why is our seal on the marriage registration?!"

『Oh, that’s it? Actually, I got here 30 minutes ago.』

"What's the point of coming?"

『Uishi-san's daughter』

"…Why!?"

『Hmm, well, I guess it's because we know each other! Hahaha!』

"This is no laughing matter!"

『Fuhahahaha! I was seriously surprised when they brought the two marriage registration forms earlier! I never thought there would be someone who liked you enough to propose marriage to you... and two people at that. I heard they're Miho-chan and Uishi-san's daughter. I always knew you were popular with the ladies, but I never thought it would be this much! Tou-san's surprised! Fuhahahaha!』

"Wait a second. Eh? What? I do not believe so... But did you stamp it without any time to think about it?!"

『Yes!』

"Do not say 'Yes' to that, you stupid father!"

What a thing he has done ja...!

I always thought he was an idiot, but I never imagined he was this stupid...

To give up on his daughter's future without any time to think about it is just too stupid! 'Tis not just the biggest stupidity of this century, 'tis the biggest stupidity since the Big Bang!

No, that is a bit of an exaggeration, but still!

Ah, I cannot ja! I am confused!

『By the way, Kaa-san was also excited.』

"Goddammit all!"

No allies!

I have no allies!

The moat around me has been filled in in an instant! What is this, does this mean I have to get married!?

『Also, the venue has been reserved.』

“How far had it progressed before I agreed ja!? Or rather, things had progressed too smoothly in just an hour ja!? 'Tis a flow that I definitely cannot refuse, is it not!? If I refused, who knows what would happen ja!?”

『Well, I guess that's what Uishi-san and her daughter are willing to do. If you refuse, let's just say that your life will be in big trouble.』

"Things have already gotten out of hand! I thought 'twas a C4, but now 'tis a nuclear bomb!?"

『That's a confusing analogy. It's not funny.』

"I am not making a joke, nor am I looking for something funny!"

Ahhhhhh! What is going to happen with me!?

Why am I being proposed to so soon after the new semester begins!? And with my parents' approval at that!

It should be more like... That, right!? Like after we became lovers or something!

Why skip that step and just get married ja?

What romantic comedy is this ja?! That one?! Is it that one?! Is it a story that is pretty common these days, like, "Sometimes love starts with marriage!"?!

If that were to happen in reality, not only would it be a problem, but we would not be able to keep up with the processing and would end up disappearing! Mainly me!

『Well, what's the point? It's harem you know, harem.』

"I heard that line this morning! Kami said the same thing!"

『Oh, really? That's boring.』

"Do not say boring!"

『...Eh? Swap? Okay okay. Well then, Mahiro. I'll swap with Kaa-san now.』

"Wait, we have not talked much yet--"

『Hello, Mahiro? It's Okaa-san~.』

Damn it, he really swapped!

...I-it cannot be helped.

"Mother! What on earth is happening ja?!"

『It's nothing special... it's just marriage, you know?』

"That's not what I meant, but why am I being forced to get married?!"

『Because Miho and Mizuki said they want to marry you."

"Why did you just give permission?! I am only 16!"

『You say that, but the other two are also 16.』

"Well, that it is, but still!"

『But now that you've become a woman, you can get married at the age of 16, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?』

"No, there is a problem ja! I am still but a student noja!"

『Even if you say that, it's pretty common for people to get married while still in school.』

"In college! That is college talk!"

There may be some people who got married while still in high school, but I do not believe 'tis that common! Even if there are, they may already be in college!

I see those quite often!

『Well, isn't it fine? You can have 2 wives, you know? Is there a problem? They're both beautiful girls too.』

"That is the problem, though?! Or rather, if I get married now, I will be a wife too!?"

『Oh, I see.』

"Yo-you finally noticed--"

『So it'll be a wedding with three brides. ...How novel!』

"How is that your conclusioooooooooooooooon!?"

What is wrong with my two parents!

How did you come up with such an idea?

Did I ever do something wrong to you?

『I guess it can't be helped if you say you don't have any romantic feelings for the two of them. But what do you think?』

"Ugh, th, that is..."

『See, there's nothing wrong with getting married.』

"No, 'tis not something one can just decide on so casually noja. 'Tis like deciding to stay together for the rest of one's life, you know? If they were to get divorced, they would be left with a broken heart..."

『Those two were saying they'll be with you forever, though.』

"Seriously?!"

You both are way too determined, are you not!?

Leaving aside Miho, Mizuki is the most dangerous!

To be able to feel that way after just a week of meeting someone is so powerful in so many ways!

『Well, you'd better give up and fill them in. It'll be fine, they're both fully prepared to support you.』

"Am I to become a gigolo?!"

『Also, it seems that Hagoromo Azusa will provide maximum backup.』

"The most reassuring backup ever!"

『Oh, that's right. A message from Mizuki's father.』

"...What is it?"

『He said, 'Come over to my place next time. Let's talk (Smile).'』

"I... am dead...!"

『'Also, if you turn down my daughter's marriage proposal here, and the proposal of a girl other than my daughter who has fallen in love with you... you understand, right? (perfect smile).'』

"... Huh, I cannot refuse, can I?"

If the president of the Uishi Group told me as much, I cannot refuse, right?

If I refuse, I feel like I will die.

Will I be sunk in Tokyo Bay? Will I?

『I'm glad. You got a wife right at the start of the new semester.』

"Huh?! Did you treat me as if i am already married?!"

『Well, of course. Those two mustered up the courage to fill their marriage form, you know? You're not a man if you don't fill it here.』

"Well, I am a woman now, though..."

I mean, what does she mean, mustered up the courage to fill a marriage form and whatnot.

If this was something you did to your lover, it would be wonderful.

But...the reality is not like that ja.

The moment they handed me the marriage form was before we were even in a romantic relationship, and to be more specific, it was the day they confessed their feelings to me ja.

『It's fine. They'll support you, you know? You can be as lazy as you like, and you won't even have to worry about making a living.』

"..."

Now that you mention it, I guess that is true.

Can I be as lazy as I want?

...Wait?!

"I-I will not fall for that ja! Even if you try to seduce me with words that will make me nod, it would not work!"

『Tch…』

"Clicking your tongue?! Did you just click your tongue!?"

I cannot take it anymore, these parents of mine!

Actually, there are so many things to tuskkomi that I cannot keep up! I am not supposed to be on the tsukkomi side! If anything, I am more of the comedian side!

『Well, isn't it fine? Anyway, Okaa-san has to go back to work soon, so do your best. Well then! Good luck!』

"M-mother?! Mother--------!?"

Toot... toot...

"S-she cut me off..."

They just dropped the bombshell and then left!

I was the one who made the call, but this is clearly a problem ja!

What? Do I have to fill out those marriage forms? For both of them?

"U-um, well then..."

With a twitch in my cheek, I looked at the two of them and called out to them.

"For now, can you fill them quickly?"

"Eh, seriously--"

"Please fill it in."

"No, well, at least give me a little bit of time--"

"Please fill it in (smiles)."

"…………… Yes."

""Yay!""

Pang! The two of them high-fived each other with very happy looks on their faces.

...Hehe, hehehe... married... This me is getting married at this age...

"...So, do you really like me that much? And, I think you are being a bit hasty..."

"I love you."

"Me too."

"...B-but-"

"Listen, Mahiro. You're a girl now... but when a girl has mustered up the courage to confess, you have to act with resolution."

"I have been forced to fill out a marriage form not long after you confessed your feelings though..."

"Mahiro-chan, we like you. And I know you find a lot of stuff to be a hassle, but if you don't like something, you'll tell us clearly."

"Huh, are you ignoring what I said?"

Will my opinions perhaps never be taken into account here?

...I-is this what it means to be bossed around?

"So please give us an answer."

"...I am already being forced to fill out the marriage registration, though?"

"I... well, I already know how you feel..."

Miho turned away and said this with her cheeks flushed red.

...Oh, that reminds me, I was doing something that was almost like a confession...

...Eh, so what? So we were in love with each other?

H-how scandalous of me.

"Ah, that's not fair! Mahiro-chan! Tell me too! Tell me how you feel!"

"...D-do I, have to tell you?"

"You have to! If you don't tell me... I'll spend the rest of my life holding you!"

"Please spare me that!?"

I will lose my freedom!

It might make things easier, but at the same time, I might lose my dignity as a person!

"...That's unfortunate."

"Why are you so disappointed noja!?"

I do not really understand this one!?

"...Well, you see... You are strangely kind to me, you take care of me, and you are also... cute... when I am with you, I feel calm... well, you know...! I, I, I like you... I know, we have only just met, but..."

"~~~~~!"

When I confessed (?), Mizuki covered her mouth with her hand and tears began to flow.

...'Tis strange... I have only just met this girl, so why am I getting married to her?

And am I easily infatuated?

That is preposterous...

"Hey, Mahiro. W-what about me?"

"Eh, am I to tell Miho too? I thought I already told you back then...?"

"That's true! But no matter how many times you say it, it makes me happy!"

"...I understand. Well then, shall I tell you...?"

"Bring it on!"

"...Miho sometimes gets unreasonably angry with me, and sometimes you hit me...but how can I put it, I can treat you comfortably, like a male friend...and, when you hold me or my hand...I feel relaxed...is it like I have a sense of security like at home? So, I do you like ja..."

Uuuuuuuuuuuuu...!

H-how embarrassing! 'Tis so embarrassing...!

Why did I confess to the two of them...?

Damn, my face is hot... I feel like I am going to burst into flames at any moment... And my throat is dry ja...

I-I did not know confessions took this much courage...!

""Mahiro (chan)!""

"Whoa!"

The two of them jumped on me and before I knew it, I was pushed down onto the bed.

Or rather, these girls just picked me up and threw me down on the bed, did they not!?

What on earth ja!

"We've even filled out our marriage registration, so now we're more than just lovers; we're husband and wifes!"

"Well... I look forward to working with you from now on, okay?"

"You know—"

"About Mahiro-chan--"

""I will definitely make you happy!""

"...Huh? Is that not what I should have said?!"

Could it be that I'm on the wife's side?! And these are two on the husband's side?!

After that, I actually ended up having to go and file a marriage registration.

...Married at 16...and...with two people...a yuri marriage...haha.

TL note:

Sorry for taking a while. This novel is weirdly lengthy.

Anyway, I'll continue translating the other novels starting tomorrow, so you can look forward to that, I suppose.
