After buying our clothes, we went to a place in the city to have lunch.
We went to a place that Kuro's guidebook said was "recommended for
ladies".
[…Mnhh, I feel like I've only been receiving things from Kaito-san.]
[Don't worry about it. I bought it because I like it.]
[Thank you… Ei.]
[Huh? Wha!?]
I reiterated to Sieg-san, who was still a little concerned about me
buying her things, that I didn't mind. Then Sieg-san smiled happily and
with a very cute shout, she hugged my left arm.
[S- Sieg?! W- What in the world are you…]
[Lili, listen here, okay? We are Kaito-san's lovers. It's natural for us to
walk arm in arm like this.]
[…N- No, I think that's a bit of an exaggeration…]
[I see, t- that's right… L- L- L- Like this…]
[Lilia-san too!?]
Believing Sieg-san's slightly exaggerated words, as if she had made up
her mind, Lilia-san hugged my right arm with her face blushing red.
A fearsome pincer attack, where both of my arms are held in embrace…
In an instant, my body temperature rose and my face became hot.
The soft sensations I feel from both sides. Lilia-san was embarrassed,
but she was pressing her body a little closer, capturing my arms
between her frighteningly soft twin hills, putting me in a very
dangerous situation.
I'm not sure if Sieg-san was more composed than Lilia-san, but as she
leaned her body while hugging me, she held my hand with our fingers
interlocked.
T- This is dangerous… I don't know how I suddenly found myself in this
situation, but this feels really dangerous.
Lilia-san, Sieg-san… Both of them were amazingly soft, warm and
smelled good.
Sieg-san's tall and slender body was tightly wrapped around my body,
not letting there be any space between us, and as her face rubbed
against my shoulder, my face was extremely close to hers.
Lilia-san wasn't as tall as Sieg-san, but her breasts could already be
considered as imposingly lethal weapons, holding my arm hostage and
changing their shape upon contact.
The way she hid her face in my arm, as if she was embarrassed, looked
adorable, but it also felt like it was whittling away my reason.
The situation was one where both my arms were held by beautiful
women, each with their own strong point, this truly is holding a flower
in each hand… I must completely look like a riajuu right now.
(T/N: riajuus are normies.)
However, I didn't have the composure to enjoy this situation. I was
wrapped up in the scent and warmth that drifted from both of my sides,
and all I could think about was how to keep my dizzy head calm.
With my reasoning suddenly receiving great damage, we made our way
to the restaurant, while I felt conscious about the stares of the people
on the street.
When we reached the target restaurant, Sieg-san and Lilia-san finally
released my arms. That was a close call… in all sorts of ways. This loverlike situation was surprisingly, very damaging to my reasoning.
The restaurant we arrived at was a little off the main street and not that
spacious, but it was clean and stylish with nice tables and chairs.
What bothered me though was that there weren't many customers even
though it was lunchtime.
Sitting down at a table, I looked at the menu that the waitress brought
over… I see, as it was recommended for women, there were many
dishes with eggs and vegetables, and a wide variety of salads.
I may be biased with my thoughts, but their lunch menu certainly felt
like it was targeted towards ladies… Unnn, I think it certainly fits Siegsan's image.
It's just that Lilia-san… how should I say this… She feels more like a
meat eater…
[Kaito-san? Were you thinking about something strange just now?]
[N- Not at all!]
…That was a close call. I was almost about to get lectured.
I was panicking for a bit, but I managed to place my order and we
waited while chatting with each other… As there were no other
customers, the food was immediately served.
I ordered the recommended set, which consists of an omelette on top of
bread, salad, and soup. It felt like one of those simple, but tasty meals.
Well, for a guy like me, this lunch felt a bit lacking… Well, if it's not
enough, we could always just order more, so let's just try them out.
Leisurely putting my hands together, I thought of starting with the
salad, so I brought my fork towards it… and immediately withdrew it.
…They added the vegetable I hate the most in there.
A bright green object, dazzlingly exemplifying its existence… It was cut
into thin strips and added to the salad, giving me an inexplicable sense
of dread.
…There's bell pepper in it… I'll say it again because it's important.
There's bell pepper in it.
There's nothing I can do. Unfortunately, I'll have to give up on this salad.
Bell peppers really are impossible for me. Bell peppers are seriously
scary. I wish all the bell peppers in the world would disappear…
Just as I was about to give up on the salad, a hand reached out from the
side and grabbed the plate containing the salad.
[…I'm sorry, Kaito-san. I actually "really wanted to eat this salad", but I
ordered the wrong one… I'm sorry to be so selfish, but I'd appreciate it
if we could swap.]
[Eh? Yes…]
[Thank you.]
Then, with a smile, Sieg-san replaced my salad with her own. Sieg-san
particularly ordered her salad, instead of just ordering the
recommended set… and what was put in front of me was a very
ordinary caesar salad.
After we exchanged plates, I turned to Sieg-san and she gave me a quick
wink. Then she started eating her salad as if nothing had happened.
Lilia-san also didn't mention the bell peppers in particular, and
proceeded to eat while smiling and making idle chit-chat.
They aren't making fun of my childish taste buds, but rather gently
caring for me… It makes me once again realize how kind the two of
them are.
…Unnn, I'm falling in love with them all over again. Both Sieg-san and
Lilia-san were really wonderful women, and I felt incredibly proud to
think that I'm their lover.
Strangely, the salad I ate that day… tasted more delicious than usual.
Dear Mom, Dad—— Caring and being cared for… Receiving goodwill
and giving it back… I realized once again how good having a lover is.
Was it right to call it warmth? As I felt at ease being with them—— We
had a very enjoyable meal.
