"Bulma, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
"Ah, n-no, I'm fine. Mom, don't come in."
"Really?"
"Really, really. I just saw a cockroach, that's all. It's nothing now."
"Well, if you're okay, that's good. It's already sunny outside, so don't sleep in too late. Breakfast is almost ready."
"Okay, okay, I got it."
Feeling nervous and flustered, Bulma managed to fool her mother. Both she and Tights breathed a sigh of relief.
But then—
"Damn you, Yuujin! What did you do? What did you do?!"
Thinking about what happened last night, Bulma exploded in anger and grabbed Yuujin by the neck, shaking him violently.
Last night, Yuujin had done all sorts of indecent things to her. You could say he had taken full advantage of her body.
If it had been just that, Bulma might not have minded too much. After all, she liked Yuujin, and considering their relationship, doing such things wasn't too outrageous.
But this guy had pulled her sister into it, too, and did those things to her as well!!!
"Hah..."
"Calm down, Bulma."
Yawning, Yuujin lightly tapped Bulma on the forehead.
Calm down? He was telling her to calm down? Bulma was both furious and amused. She started hitting Yuujin again, demanding answers.
But with her soft little fists, even if she hit him for ten days and nights, Yuujin wouldn't feel a thing. After a while, it wasn't Yuujin who was hurt, but Bulma who was getting tired.
Seeing Bulma finally calm down a little, Yuujin smiled slightly and pulled both Bulma and Tights into his arms.
"Bulma, I like you."
"Tights, I like you too."
He rubbed his forehead against both sisters' as he spoke.
Just as Bulma's anger had barely subsided, it flared up again. Tights, on the other hand, had a brief flicker of something in her eyes, but seeing her younger sister's fury, she lowered her head in silence, feeling ashamed.
"Haha, you like me, and you like my sister too? Are you trying to bring us both into your harem?"
Bulma laughed coldly, her tone filled with sarcasm. But Yuujin nodded—
"Yes, building a huge harem is one of my dreams."
"No, maybe every normal guy has had such a dream at some point. It's just that most of them don't have the ability to achieve it. But I do."
"Don't doubt my feelings, Bulma. I like you, and I've long considered you my girlfriend and future wife. But you won't be the only woman in my life."
Hearing Yuujin say these things so calmly and matter-of-factly, not only was Bulma shocked, but even Tights was completely stunned!
"Pervert! Pig! Scumbag! Jerk!"
In an instant, a furious Bulma hurled every insult she could think of at him.
Yuujin actually wanted to have a harem!
Knowing Bulma was upset, Yuujin remained calm, waiting for her to run out of energy before speaking again:
"Bulma, would you be willing to join my harem?"
"Don't even think about it! I'd never join anyone's harem. Stop dreaming!"
Bulma was so angry that she almost wanted to bite him.
She had completely misjudged him!
Yuujin, knowing Bulma's personality well, had expected this reaction.
At this point, trying to comfort or apologize to her would only make her angrier, and Yuujin wasn't foolish enough to do that.
He had already planned his approach. Now that she was sufficiently provoked, it was time for the next step—
"Bulma, if you truly can't accept this, then our relationship will end here."
Yuujin sighed. At his words, it felt as if a thunderbolt had struck Bulma's mind, and her face turned pale with disbelief.
"W-what did you say, Yuujin?"
Staring blankly at Yuujin, Bulma couldn't believe what she had just heard.
"Bulma, I love you, so I don't want to hurt you."
"We haven't taken the final step yet, so it's not too late to turn back."
"So, if you really can't accept this, then our relationship ends here, and I'll never appear before you again."
Yuujin spoke calmly, but Bulma's face went pale, and she began to tremble uncontrollably.
Not just Bulma—even Tights was shocked beyond words.
Neither Bulma nor Tights had expected Yuujin to be so decisive!
Without giving them much time to process, Yuujin lifted Bulma's chin and spoke again—
"Bulma, make your choice."
"And then, tell me your answer."
"I... I..."
Bulma was completely panicked, unable to meet Yuujin's gaze.
At first, she had been furious. The boy she liked had suddenly declared he wanted both sisters and planned to have a harem. Any normal girl would be mad.
She had done nothing wrong and felt completely justified. So when Yuujin said those things, she had reacted with intense anger and kept questioning him.
Any girl with a bit of self-respect would refuse Yuujin without hesitation.
Break up? Sure, who cares? Even without him, there are plenty of guys lining up for me!
Yet, all Bulma could feel now was fear. She couldn't do it—she couldn't break up with Yuujin!
Ever since Yuujin saved her, Bulma had seen him as her knight in shining armor, and he had left an indelible mark on her heart.
From childhood to now, the only boy Bulma had ever cared about was Yuujin. She had never given a second thought to any of the boys her age.
Her feelings for him ran so deep that even she didn't fully understand them. How could she just let go?
But joining his harem? Accepting that he would be with her and other women, including her own sister? She couldn't accept that either!
Caught in a whirlwind of conflicting emotions, Bulma didn't know what to do.
Seeing her sister's pain, Tights wanted to say something, but Yuujin stopped her with a gentle press to her lips and shook his head.
Though Yuujin knew this decision was harsh for Bulma, he believed it was necessary to avoid greater conflict and suffering in the future.
After a long silence—
"Bulma, are you ready to tell me your answer?"
Despite having planned everything out, Yuujin couldn't help feeling nervous now.
If things went according to plan, it would be fine, but if something went wrong, he'd have no one to blame but himself.
"So unfair... Yuujin, you're so unfair..."
Bulma lifted her head, tears streaming down her face.
But seeing her like this, Yuujin let out a quiet sigh of relief, a slight smile forming on his lips.
He had gotten Bulma's answer!
