Ch.38 High-Speed Flag Collection. Mahiro is on the Defensive, as Expected

"Hawawawa! I can't believe I've stumbled upon a scene where Mahiro-chan is being attacked..."

"M-Mizuki! T-This is not what it seems noja! I was just playing around with Mashiron, and I certainly was not cheating...!"

What kind of excuse am I making noja?!

Why am I acting like a man with a girlfriend making excuses as she found out he was being intimate with another woman?

No, even before considering infidelity, I already have three wives!!

"...Cheating? Mahiron, cheater?"

"Not true! Do not say such terrible things!"

I am not exactly a cheater or anything!

Sure, I do have three wives, but that is a separate matter. If anything, one could say that the other three were the ones who came onto me, which is the real reason.

...Ah, no, Aria is a little different. In her case, 'twas because Mizuki gave the go-ahead. Although, the fact that she always had a marriage registration form with her was also a factor...

"Or rather...how long are you going to keep me pinned down noja?!"

"Doesn't it make your heart race?"

"It does! ...Wait, what are you making me say noja?!"

"...Self-destructed. But, your heart raced, huh."

"W-well, if one is in this position, then to some extent..."

I mumbled and stuttered more as the conversation progressed.

To be honest, I personally quite liked Mashiron, perhaps because of her appearance, which could be described as that of a loli.

Although, in this girl's case, 'twas hard to read her emotions, and I enjoyed being friends with her, so 'tis a bit of a problem.

...Could it be that I am prone to falling in love?

No, no, no. I am not the kind of person who falls in love that easily! ...Should be ja!

"Hmm, so, you wouldn't get angry, if I did something like this?"

"Mu? What does that mea—Mmu!?"

"Nn……"

"Ara!"

This girl... She just suddenly kissed me!?

Damn, wh-what is this feeling...!

Are you saying I am excited by this situation where I'm being held down and forced to kiss someone?!

That makes me sound like a masochist!

N-no, it cannot be. It definitely cannot be!

...Wait?!

"Mmm—! Mmmmm—!"

How long is this girl going to keep this up?!

It is gwtting hard to breath...

"Mmm... slurp... mmm"

"Mmmm!?"

Now the tongue?!

That slimy tongue entwined with mine, and somehow... 'Tis making me feel really strange!

What in the world is going on here noja?!

Why am I getting a deep kiss from Mashiron?!

Huh, what is going on?!

"Mmmfuu... haaah. How is it?"

Despite her appearance, Mashiron said this to me with an alluring smile.

W-what is this ja?! That really startled me! What does that mean ja?!

"W-what do you mean...? Well, how should I put it...? Hmm, 'twas a kiss."

"Muu, that's not it."

As I said this, letting my eyes wander, Mashiron puffed out her cheeks and gave me a disapproving look.

What do you want me to say?

Damn, Mizuki... what is Mizuki doing-

"Haaah, haaah... The passionate kisses of the two little girls...! It's wonderful! To be honest, I'm getting excited!"

"You are acting too much like your usual self!"

"But, Mahiro-chan! Two elementary school-aged girls are kissing you know!? A kiss! And Mahiro-chan is the one being kissed... Haaaaaa~~~~~~~~~! Too cute! Um, one more time! Could you do it one more time!? This time I'll record it on video!"

With incredible agility, she came right up beside me and Mashiron and pointed her smartphone at us.

"...OK"

"Stop it! Wait, wait, wait! Do not seriously do i—mmmuu!?"

The second time!

"Hawaaaaaa~~~~~! What a wonderful sight! It's soooo loli-loli-yuri-yuri! I could die happy!"

While I was being kissed intensely, Mizuki was holding her smartphone towards me and uttering those words with an ecstatic expression.

This girl is absolutely nuts!

Or rather...

(How long is she going to keep French kissing me!?)

'Tis even richer than the last one, and 'tis so damn long!

Because of this situation, I have started to feel... k-kind of weird!

Mainly the lower part! My head is starting to feel all floaty too...

...This is just like the first time those two attacked me... Ah, this is an extremely bad situation!

"Mmu! Mmmーーーーー"

I cannot move because of the weight pressing down on me, but I still try to tell Mashiron to stop just by using my voice. At the same time, I try to thrash around a little, but... Umu, she does not budge at all.

P-Please, Mashiron! Any more than this and 'tis going to be really bad...!

And perhaps my heartfelt plea got through to them,

"Phew... OK?"

Finally, Mashiron stopped kissing me.

I am saved... I am really saved...

"OK! i got a fantastic video! I definitely need to send this to Miho-san and Aristia-san!"

"Do not send it!"

"Oh, sorry, I sent it by mistake! Teehee."

"That is cute, that really is cute! But why did you send it?!"

Normally, this would be annoying, but her cuteness wins out!

Is this what they call being weak because you are in love?!

"Because I'm cute!"

"That is not a valid reason!"

"Oh, they've already replied."

"So fast!"

It only takes about ten seconds!

What kind of response is that?

"Let's see, Miho-san said, 'Wow, what an erotic sight! Just as you'd expect from Mahiro the masochist! She's totally the submissive one! Her eyes are all dreamy! GJ!' And Aristia-san said, 'Wow! Mahiro-kun's getting kissed with a girl's face on! I'm jealous of the girl, so I'll go steal her away someday!'"

"Are those two not saying something outrageous?!"

Moreover, Aria is clearly coming to attack me!? Am I without any allies? Am I really without any allies!?

Damn it, I thought Aria would never do something like that!

I guess 'tis because she has American blood in her!

"...Mahiron, just now, what does that mean?"

As I was screaming internally, Mashiron suddenly looked at me intently, saying in a voice that sounded lonelier than usual, yet cold.

Uh... how should I explain this...?

"No, this, this is not..."

"Mahiro-chan is the wife of three girls: me, Miho-san, and Aristia-san! By the way, Miho-san, Aristia-san, and I are the husbands!"

"Why did you tell her?!"

"Well, she seemed curious. And also, I just had a hunch after observing Kaichou-san's demeanor." (TL: Kaichou is how you call student council president)

"What are you talking about noja...?"

I do not think that is something you should say with a big smile...

This girl js really intense and completely nuts.

Perhaps that is partly because she is from a wealthy family.

It seems like they lack common sense.

"...Mahiron is the bride... and she has three husbands..."

"Mu, what is wrong noja, Mashiron yo? You are muttering to yourself..."

Suddenly, I noticed Mashiron in front of me muttering something in an extremely quiet voice.

Moreover, even though I am at extremely close range, the volume was so perfectly controlled that 'twas almost inaudible.

I wonder what she is muttering about.

"...Your name, Uishi Mizuki-san, right?"

"Yes, that's right, Kaichou-san."

"...Slot, is still open?"

"Yes, of course we do!"

...Slot? What kind of Slot ja? And she has not even said what kind of slot it is, so how did Mizuki understand?

And what is it? I have a vague, uneasy feeling...

"...Thanks, Mahiron."

"W-what is it ja? You are being so serious."

I am still being pinned down, and with both my hands held down, there is no way I can be more uptight... but at least from the expression on her face it seems that way, so let's just not worry about the details.

Then, when I replied, Mashiron, in addition to her usual expressionless face, opened her mouth with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"...May I have you?"

"......I am sorry. I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about."

...I have a vague feeling about it. 'Tis only a vague feeling, but I do have a hunch. However, I really hope that possibility is wrong.

...And since I think so, I have a feeling I cannot be wrong...

"...May I marry Mahiron?"

"...Mashiron. Is that... a marriage proposal?"

"……Yeah."

Mashiron nodded.

...Seriously?

"Well, listen, Mashiron. I already have three wives noja..."

"Mahiro-chan, it's husbands."

"...I have three husbands noja."

"...But Uishi-san said you still have a slot available."

"Why are we using her standards ja?!"

"Hey, didn't Mahiro-chan said it yourself? That you have the capacity to accept two or three more people."

"I did say that! I did, but still!"

I definitely said that.　

I was asked how much more I had the capability as a man, so that is what I answered.

But... but! Is this not way too early?!

It has only been about two chapters since Aria joined you know!? This is way too fast ja!

"Ah, Mahiro-chan, are you perhaps going back on your promise back then?"

"No, no, no, I did not make any promise!"

"But there's a saying that a man never goes back on his word... And if what he said back then was a lie, even I would find it a little... hard to forgive..."

"Ugh!"

"...Mahiron, make up your mind."

"Are you not just trying to take advantage of the situation?!"

"...Just your imagination. Mahiron, Decide. Either make me your husband, or get attacked here."

"What kind of two-choice question is that?! Do I not have the right to refuse?!"

""Nope.""

"Human rights violation!"

Why is it that my wivesーah, let's just give up and call them husbands. I canot deny it, even though I really want to... Besides, I am the one who does almost all the housework, including making lunch...

Anyway, why are my husbands so pushy? On top of that, they completely ignore my opinion, and the other two, besides Aria, even try to kiss me at the last minute.

...Thinking about it normally, should I not be able to sue? Forcing a kiss on someone seems like a problematic thing somehow...

...However, 'tis very much too late now.

"I mean, Mashiron, can you get off now?"

"... You aren't going to run away?"

"I will not run away. In fact, Mizuki will definitely stop me. And so will you."

"Of course!"

"……'Course."

"Then, please get off now. My hands are starting to go numb."

"...My apologies. Here goes."

She finally moved aside...

Uumu, freedom is wonderful...

With that thought etched in my mind, I straightened my body and waved my arms lightly.

Umu, I cannot feel anything because of the numbness, but it seems to be working without any problems.

"So, Seriously?"

"...Do I look like I'm telling jokes?"

"I feel like we were telling quite a few jokes up until that point..."

"...Just your imagination. Mahiron, if you worry about every little thing, your husbands will run away from you."

"...I see."

In that case, let's just try not to worry about it.

Actually, it would be pointless to say it here anyway. 'Tis better to just get on with it to avoid any trouble.

"But if you are not joking and being serious... does that mean you like me?"

"...Of course. Or rather, you didn't notice?"

"Fuumu... I cannot think of anything that might be the clue. Umu, nothing."

I try to recall my memories, but nothing in particular comes to mind.

Did something happen?

"...Mahiron, still the same insensitive, dense, sleepy idiot."

"...Hey. Is that way of addressing me popular? I keep hearing them directed at me"

"It seems to be popular, mainly among girls."

"Why ja?!"

"Because it's a sin."

"I-I do not understand!"

Anyway, all I understand is what the girls are saying about me.

...I do not know the reason though!

"By the way, what approach did the Kaichou-san take?"

"...I asked Mahiro to help out with the student council. I made sure that we would be alone together."

"Oh, was that an approach?"

Indeed, as Mashiron said I have been asked to help out a fair number of times in the past.

At that time, there were never any other student council members besides me and Mashiron, which I thought was a little strange... so that is what it was.

"...Also, I gave you heart-shaped chocolates for Valentine's Day."

"Oh, now that you mention it, I did receive one. I remember it being something very Mashiron-like, decorated with snowmen and ice crystals. I think there were some characters written on it in a language I did not understand."

"... it says 'I love you' in Slovakian."

"How would I know that?!"

What even is Slovakian?!

There is no way I could understand it if it was written in a language I had never see in everyday life!

"...I thought so, so I wrote it down in Moroccan as well."

"That makes it even more confusing!"

"Kaichou-san, that's quite an interesting way to confess your feelings."

"...Too embarrassed to say it directly."

Mashiron, with blushing cheeks, spoke about her feelings at the time.

She confessed her feelings in Slovakian and Moroccan because she was embarrassed... but 'twas so unusual that it did not get through at all.

"Hau! Kaichou-san is so cute!"

However, that roundabout way of confessing, along with the embarrassed expression on her face when she made her statement, seemed to have struck a chord with Mizuki.

"……You think so?"

"Yes, absolutely! Mahiro-chan, please, please take Kaichou-san with us."

"Why though?!"

I mean, is saying "Please take him/her" not too rash?!

Should it not be "Please accept him/her"?

"A couple of lolis? That's just the best! Loli on loli! Isn't that the best possible combination?!"

...This girl's lolicon tendencies are seriously intense.

Or rather, this girl might have a penchant for yuri... Oh, that is right, she does have a penchant for yuri. She came out about it before.

Well, even putting those things aside, it still seems pretty awful in many ways.

"...Mahiro, do you hate me?"

"I do like you... Ah."

Oh no! She asked me with teary eyes, so I blurted it out reflexively!

"I've got your word on it! Kaichou-san, I've recorded it!"

"...Uishi-san, GJ." (TL: GJ = good job)

"How shrewd!"

"Hehehe, Mahiro-chan is easy to manipulate. So, I always record our conversations to get you to agree to anything!"

"That is a terrible method!"

Also, I guess they thought I was easy to manipulate! That is kind of sad!

"And here, for Kaichou-san, here you go."

"……What?"

"This is a marriage registration form."

"You still have it?!"

Just how many marriage registration forms does this girl have?!

That is absolutely insane!

"Yes, of course. You never know where Mahiro-chan might be setting up a romantic flag. In fact, it seems like you've already set up a flag with Kaichou-san."

"Gununu..."

'Tis frustrating that I cannot talk back...!

"...Okay, thanks. I'll start writing right away. ...Done."

"So fast!"

Did she just write that in about ten seconds?!

Ah, how insane...!

"Hmm... yes, there's no problem. Now, please show this to your parents and have them fill in the remaining items."

"...Un, Got it."

"Okay, Mahiro-chan, please write here too."

"Huh, I have to write too...?"

"Of course. Mahiro-chan will take responsibility for what you said, right? That two or three more people are fine."

"......Mahiron, You can't?"

With teary eyes and her head tilted, she said this to me with a look of both anticipation and anxiety.

Damn, Mashiron, that gesture is against the rules!

...Now that I think about it, this girl knew I liked loli characters. She fully utilized the effects of her appearance and said it with the most effective gestures and expressions...!

"O-Okay, okay! I just have write it, I just have write it noja!"

"...As expected of Mahiron. Weak to lolis and persistence."

...So 'twas all part of the plan...

For some reason, I had a feeling I could not win.

"Wait, what? If I look closely, this marriage registration form... my parents' names are on it too!?"

"Oh, that was written in advance. By the way, it's also on Aristia-san's marriage registration form."

"That is a little too well-prepared?!"

When did that happen...?

"...There, 'tis done."

"Thank you. So, I'll submit it once I've collected Aristia-san's copy as well."

"...Do whatever you want."

"...You just said we can do whatever we want."

"...Hah!"

Mashiron stares intently at me.

When I realized I had made a slip of the tongue, I broke out in a cold sweat...

"Farewell ja!"

I ran away from the student council room.

"Hmph, how naive!"

"Just accept it, Mahiro-kun!"

"Wait, why are you guys here too ja?!"

Just as I was about to run away, Miho and Aria were waiting outside the room!

"Mizuki sent a message to the 'Husbands Group' saying, 'Mahiro-chan is about to get a new husband, so please come and see! We're in the student council room! Also, it's nice to see her in a loli loli situation!' so we came to see."

"What the heck is this 'Husbands' Group'?"

"It's a group made up entirely of Mahiro's husbands!"

"Day and night there, we discuss things like, 'How should we attack Mahiro-chan?'"

"Can you stop talking as if you are going to attack me?! And why am I always the one being attacked?!"

"Because you're an M?"

"Even Mashiron is involved?! And is it common knowledge that I am an M?!"

""""Un.""""

"......"

The four of them nodded, their faces showing that they thought 'twas obvious.

It seems people do think I am a masochist...

I really want to deny it, but even if I deny it here, I am outnumbered...

"So, with the addition of her new husband, let's celebrate at Mahiro-chan's house."

"...C-celebration?"

"Yes. Oh, we won't let you sleep tonight ☆"

"I just remembered I have an urgent matter to attend to!"

"...You won't get away."

"Ugh, O-oi, let go!"

"You can't just run away, Mahiro."

"It's my first time, but I'll do my best! I'll definitely make Mahiro-kun reach heaven!"

"Stop it! I will die! I will not be able to move tomorrow!"

""""If you try hard enough, you can!""""

"You monstrous, wicked husbands――――――!"

In the end, I was captured by the four of them and was not allowed to sleep at all.

...I'll leave it to your imagination what happened there.

The only thing I can say is... if four people gang up on you, you will die.
