Ch.57 On the Way to School. Mahiro Can't Disobey Her Husbands

After changing into our school uniforms at Yui-nee's house and getting everything ready, we got into Mizuki's car (a limousine, as usual) and headed to the academy.

Inside the car.

"~~~♪"

"..."

I was made to sit on Yui-nee's lap.

"Yui-nee, why am I being pampered in this mysterious way noja...?"

"Ara~? But it is a husband's job to spoil her wife, is it not?"

"I do not know if that is generally the case, but... at the very least, I think this level of pampering is wrong."

"Really~?"

While being placed on her lap is the same as what Mizuki did, what happens afterward is different.

How should I put it... She spoils me noja.

In Mizuki's case, since she is a lol*con, her actions could be seen as fulfilling her own desires, so rather than spoiling, 'tis halfway self-serving.

However, in Yui-nee's case, 'tis different; she is here to completely spoil me.

For example, when I have a thought of feeling thirsty,

"Hiro-kun, here you go~."

"U-umu, thanks."

She moved so fast even before I say anything, bringing the green tea with the straw to my mouth and then, with meticulous attention, adjusting it to the perfect position for me to drink.

Next, when I feel like I want something to snack on,

"Hiro-kun, open wide~"

"Nom. Chew chew... Thanks."

She will feed me before I even have a chance to say anything.

And if there is food residue around my mouth,

"Ara, you have something on your cheek~."

"Mmu."

She will wipe it with a handkerchief or something like that.

As you can see, it feels like she js trying their best to spoil me.

"Ufufu, Hiro-kun is so cute~"

Yui-nee said this while gently stroking my head.

...She is kind of like a mother, is she not?

"I see... Your way of spoiling him is like a mother's... Is this what people generally call 'babumi' behavior?" (TL: Babumi is basically a feeling of wanting to treat someone like a baby)

...That is, a very apt way of putting it.

Fumuu... Looking at them this way, it seems my husbands each have their own unique personalities.

Miho is as easy to be around as a best friend.

Mizuki is a total perverted lol*con.

Aria is a lively and energetic girl.

Mashiron is a cool lol* student council president.

Lastly, Yui-nee is a big sister who treats me like a baby.

...Fumu. Such intensity.

"By the way, Yui-nee yo..."

"Whaat is iit~?"

"What will you do if you cannot get a job at Minazuki Academy?"

"Hmm, I will see when the time comes. If possible, I would prefer to be at the school where Hiro-kun and the others are though~."

"I see... Mizuki, there is no problem, right?"

"Yes, I'm confident you'll be able to get the job, so please don't worry."

"Fumu... How can you be so sure ja?"

Certainly, Mizuki's family's influence is immeasurable, but even so, is it really that easy for them to give someone a job as a teacher?

Well, since 'tis a private school, there might be no issues, but even so, nothing is certai .

However, Mizuki said she would definitely be able to get the job.

So, that means there must be something that guarantees it...

"Ahh... hmm..."

That was the intention behind the question, but Mizuki made a bitter face and hesitated to answer.

Normally, she would answer right away noja, but...

"What is wrong noja? Can you not tell us the method?"

"How should I put it..."

"Mu? What is it ja? You are being rather vague."

"I wonder if there is a problem, Mizuki-chan~?"

Yui-nee's way of addressing Mizuki has changed from "san" to "chan".

Fumu. Now that I think about it, she usually addressed people She was close to with "kun" or "chan."

So, that means she concluded she can get along with her?

Or perhaps 'tis simply because they're both married to me.

"Um, if possible, I would appreciate it if you could keep this a secret..."

"Fine with me. Everyone has one or two secrets they do not want to tell anyone. I am not the kind of person who would go around telling everyone about them."

I mean, my own husband, there is no way I would make such a foolish mistake.

"I will not tell either~."

'Tis the same with Yui-nee, although she has a gentle and warm personality, she is incredibly tight-lipped when it comes to things like this.

"Thank you. ...The way to guarantee Yui-san's employment is... well, you see, Okaa-sama is actually the director of Minazuki Academy."

"...Wait, seriously?!"

"Ara ara~..."

To everyone's surprise, Mizuki revealed some shocking information.

I see... In that case, then getting the job might indeed be guaranteed.

I know this might sound strange, but I am Mizuki's bride. And the same goes for Yui-nee, although she has not submitted her application yet.

Considering Mizuki's father's character, Mizuki's mother must also be kind at heart.

Well, she will indirectly become her daughter, after all. Moreover, her parents get along well with them, so that is a factor too.

Besides, if she was inherently evil, Mizuki and her father would not have ended up like that.

...Well, the question is whether she is a lol*con or not.

"Actually, that's true. Her name is listed in the pamphlets and such, but... Okaa-sama uses her maiden name."

"Huh, her maiden name? Why ja?"

"Originally, Minazuki Academy wasn't a high school like it is today, but a privately run cram school."

"Is that so?"

"That is so. For various reasons, Okaa-sama ran a cram school, but one day she met Otou-sama, and they hit it off immediately. Apparently, that's how they got married..."

So that is how you two met huh.

But how did they meet?

And what aspects did they find common ground in?

I can only hope that she is not a lol*con ja.

"Fumu. But then how did it become an academy?"

"Apparently, her dream was to run a school from the beginning, and the cram school was just a stepping stone. And Okaa-sama, who was raising funds while doing side jobs and such... made a fortune in investments, and it seems she used that money to establish the current Minazuki Academy."

"An investment?"

What a crazy mother she is...

I never imagined she would make such a fortune from investing.

"But winning big in investing is amazing, is it not~?"

"Yes, Okaa-sama is quite or rather, very fortunate. For example, when she bought drinks from a vending machine with prizes, she won up to 20 times in a row."

"That is pretty amazing in a simple way."

"In one big case, she once went to a pachinko parlor at the invitation of a friend and earned over a million yen in just three hours."

"What a monster ja!"

I feel like that is beyond just being fortunate!

Did such a person really exist in this world?

M-Mizuki's mother, truly formidable...!

"Ah, of course, I'm not saying she's acting without any thought, okay? Okaa-sama is a very capable person, so please don't worry."

"I am not particularly worried you know? Mizuki-chan is a good girl after all~."

"Oh, really? Hehe, thank you, Yui-san."

Well, 'tis true that Mizuki has a kind personality, but...

"Umuu... Knowing your true nature, I cannot simply agree with you..."

"Fufu, so that's what you're saying, Mahiro-chan? I'll have to punish you tonight..."

"Ah! Mizuki is so kind! I have hardly ever seen a woman as kind as Mizuki!"

"Fufu, Mahiro-chan, that's going too far. But it still makes me happy to be praised by you. So, I'll pretend the punishment never happened."

"Phew..."

I felt a deep sense of relief.

I am glad Mizuki is relatively easy to deal with...

The punishments this fellow talks about are seriously no joke and really dangerous...

The night I married both Miho and Mizuki was really intense. I thought I was going to die.

"Hiro-kun, you really are the wife huh~?"

"...I am afraid to go against my husbands... I do not know what they might do to me..."

"Fufu, it's Mahiro's fault for being so cute. Especially at night, the best part is—"

"Stop talking about that! I mean, seriously, 'tis embarrassing to hear you talk about that ja!"

All the husbands keep saying how cute I am, but 'tis just embarrassing for me, and it does not give me merit whatsoever.

In fact, it causes me emotional distress, so it could even be considered a demerit.

"But, considering gender identity, I wonder if Hiro-kun is the one who is being bossed around~?"

"...Well, I suppose that is how it ended up being. Both as a couple and physically."

“Physical?”

"...Sorry, that was a slip of the tongue."

"Um, so Hiro-kun has that kind of fetish~...?"

"I do not have it though!?"

"Huh? But, when the four of us did it before—"

"Wah wah! 'Tis nothing, nothing at all!"

Before Mizuki could reveal something incredibly embarrassing, I shouted to drown her out.

Why is this fellow so quick to spill embarrassing information about me?

"Fufufu, Mahiro-chan is so fun to tease!"

"What would you do if I suddenly said, 'I'm getting a divorce!'? If you keep teasing me like this, even I might get angry, you know?"

"it's okay."

"No, that is not okay, right?"

I thought she would be pretty flustered if I declared I wanted a divorce noja, but...

Why is she so unfazed?

"No, in that case, we would just train—ahem. provide educational guidance—to make sure Mahiro-chan couldn't leave our side."

"You were about to say something about training just now, weren't you?!"

"It's just your imagination."

"No, just now, you completely—"

"It's just your imagination."

"But, but—"

"Punishment..."

"I'm sorry, I was just imagining things, please forgive me!" (TL: Mahiro's speaking normally here)

"Fufu, that's fine."

Damn, I do not think I can win...

I am starting to feel like if I actually bring up divorce, I feel like I will not be able to escape... No, I do not just feel like it, I might be certain of it...

I mean, Mizuki smiles like she always does, with that gentle smile on her face, and then she starts talking about training, you know? Does that not sound scary?

"Ufufu, Hiro-kun has a weakness for your husband, do you not~?"

"This is no laughing matter, Yui-nee..."

"Ara ara, ufufu," Yui laughed in her usual manner, to which I replied, frowning slightly.

"But Hiro-kun has changed so much~!"

"Mu, I have?"

"You have~! I mean, the old Hiro-kun would always say, 'Sleepy... I just want to go home as soon as possible and sleep in my bed...'"

"The fundamentals have not changed. 'Tis simply that everyone around me keeps clowning around that I do not have time to just laze around. To be honest, I still want to laze around all the time."

"Oh, really? So, that means things have changed around Hiro-kun then~."

"Well... that is how it is, I suppose..."

'Tis not going in the direction I wanted, though.

"So, if Hiro-kun started to dislike us, would you suggest divorce~?"

What kind of question is that, Yui-nee...?

"...Let me just say this: I would not agree to something like this if I did not love you. Besides, I know that this kind of thing should not be taken lightly. So, I also bear some responsibility. Unless you two bring it up, I would never initiate a divorce. I feel bad about putting a divorce mark on you."

This might sound like an excuse, but these are my honest feelings.

Well, I do feel a bit sorry about it, but this might just be a convenient excuse.

My intention to say it remains to be seen though.

"Mahiro-chan, you have quite the indirect way of speaking, don't you?"

"..."

It looks like Mizuki has figured it out!

"Indirect way~?"

"Yes. Mahiro-chan does speak her mind sometimes, but she usually hides it with some kind of pretense. So I think that's the case this time too. After all, even the lazy Mahiro-chan is using four lines to explain it."

"I do not understand what 'four lines' means, but Hiro-kun, is that true~?"

"...Tch, as always, she is sharp, or rather, she seems to understand me in a strange way..."

"Fufufu, I was one of the first husbands to marry you together with Miho, after all. Besides, I already had information about Mahiro-chan even before that."

...Now that I think about it, this fellow had an unusually large amount of information about me.

I see, so it's highly likely they found out during that process.

So troublesome.

"So what's your real intention~?"

"Well... what ja? If you fall in love, you are supposed to stay with them until the very end, right?"

"In other words?"

"...Damn it, you know the answer, do you not!?"

"Ehh—? I have no idea, you know—."

"Gunununu...!"

That is somehow really annoying...!

However, if I look up, there is Yui-nee looking at me with quite expectant eyes...

...Well, I guess it cannot be helped.

'tis not like I am going to lose sonething, so I should just say it.

"'Tis obviously because I like you all."

"Like, is it?"

"...You really are...! Oh, I love you all noja!"

"Is that all?"

"I love you all! And I mean all of you equally! To put it in Mizuki's style, I love you more than anyone else in the galaxy!"

"How is that ja?!" i asked, ny face bright red (though not actually visible, that's the impression I got from my intensity), as I looked at Mizuki.

"Fufufu, it's really helpful that Mahiro-chan is so easy to rile up."

She said this while showing me a palm-sized machine.

Is that...a recorder?

...Huh, no way!

"Y-you, you must have recorded that embarrassing line I just said, have you not?!"

"Exactly!"

"Ugh, so annoying!"

She records it every single time...!

I think she did something similar on the day we got married.

Furthermore, when Mashiron attacked me and gave me a deep kiss, she went to the trouble of asking Mashiron for her to film the scene, and she agreed, then gave me another deep kiss, and excitedly filmed the scene of me being attacked, which is just insane.

...If you think about it carefully, should it not be predictable that she might record or film it?

Damn, I am such an idiot!

"But expressing your feelings is important, isn't it? After all, it makes a husband happy to hear their beloved wife say 'I love you.' Right, Yui-san?"

"Yes~. I am so happy too. I never imagined you would say something like that to me, especially since we have only just reunited."

"...W-well, Yui-nee is beautiful, and even though we have known each other for a while, I know what kind of person you are, so there is no way I could dislike you. In fact, I might have had some affection for Yui-nee back then, since you were like an older sister to me. Otherwise, I would not have agreed so soon after we met again. I do have some affection for Yui-nee, you know...?"

While blushing, I turn away and reveal my true feelings.

Kuh, saying something like this is really embarrassing...

I am just not good at expressing my feelings directly. I get embarrassed and 'tis not a good feeling.

Could it be related to the fact that I was originally a man?

"...Is it not a bit cruel that you two are not reacting? I said something pretty embarrassing, so this is a bit much..."

I said something that I found quite embarrassing, but the 2 of them didn't react at all.

For some reason, I feel like I am the only one who did something embarrassing, and I cannot accept that...

"Oh, no, it's just that Mahiro-chan was unusually the one to confess, so I was a little surprised..."

"...Was that a confession? Just now?"

Personally, I think that is just me sharing my feelings normaly though...

"That's not a confession? But Yui-san looks very happy, doesn't she?"

"Huh? Is that so, Yui-nee?"

"Y-Yes, I guess so. I never expected Hiro-kun to be so straightforward about her feelings~."

"Is it really as straightforward as you say...?"

"From my perspective, it is straightforward~."

"Is that so?"

Well, Yui-nee is a bit unusual, so her way of thinking is somewhat different from that of an average person. I am still not used to that, but I will try to get used to it as quickly as possible.

"Ladies, we will soon be arriving at Minazuki Academy."

Suddenly, the driver made that announcement via a speaker on the ceiling of the limousine.

Looking out the window, it certainly looks like we are near Minazuki Academy.

Going to school by car is so easy noja.

"Shall we get ready to get off? Are your belongings all taken care of?"

"Umu, no problem ja."

"No problem here~."

Finally, Mizuki checked her own luggage, and we arrived at the academy just as she finished.

"Let's go."

Would it be good if it became a strange rumor?

Despite my worries, Yui-nee happily carried me into the school grounds.

So, she is just the same as Mizuki?
