I Accidentally Sent a Love Letter to the School's Most Prestigious Young Lady Instead of My Childhood Friend, and Now She's Bowing to Me, Asking, "Please Date Me—On the Premise of Marriage!" - 26

“Then I’ll go all the way with Yuu first.”

Haru declared while looking straight at Shion-san.

“Do you understand what I’m saying?”

Shion-san responded to Haru’s confirmation.

“Of course I understand. I’m at that age too.”

“Even if it’s just a contractual pretend relationship, seeing you two being lovey-dovey around school is starting to reach my limit.”

“I suppose that’s true… isn’t it.”

“But I think if I can go all the way with Yuu, I’ll feel more secure. What do you think? It’ll break our contract, but will you allow it?”

Since Haru had said something I never imagined, I cut in.

“Wait a minute! What about my will? More importantly, with Haru… is this really how it’s going to happen!?”

“You’re the one who misfired the love letter in the first place. And this is the result of failing to clean up that mess. You have no right to complain! Or is there something lacking with me as your partner?”

“No… It’s not that you’re lacking, and I do want to do it too, but this is too sudden…”

“But if we don’t do it quickly, Shion might steal you away!”

Haru made a pouting, dissatisfied face directed at me.

Well, it’s true… I’m a high school boy struggling with sexual desires. I couldn’t completely deny it, so I fell silent. The fact was that I had become strongly attracted to Shion-san. I’m just a mob character, cowardly and indecisive.

Haru pressed Shion-san further for a decision.

“I want to get this settled quickly by just doing it. It’s fine, right, Shion?”

“……..”

Shion-san remained silent for a while, lost in thought.

And the response that came back was probably unexpected for both me and Haru.

“You may proceed. I no longer believe our previous contract holds any meaning.”

“So you’re saying I can make him ‘my man’?”

“Do as you please, Haru-san. However, I will also allow myself to act freely.”

“Eh…?”

Hearing this, Haru made a face like a pigeon that had been shot with a bean gun.

“If this were the old me, I would have simply said ‘I understand’… but I’ve decided to do as I please, to act as I wish.”

“That means… what exactly…?”

Receiving Shion-san’s gaze, Haru blinked her eyes rapidly.

“To put it simply, I’ve decided not to let this end at a pretend relationship, but to make Yuu-sama my life partner. As partners, we will kiss, go on dates, and engage in intimate relations. To make this happen, I’ve resolved to sell my soul to angels or demons if necessary.”

“……..”

Haru seemed dumbfounded. She remained rigid for a while before finally squeezing out her voice.

“You’re going to… break everything!?”

“Call it breaking promises or whatever you like. You may criticize and scorn me all you want. I no longer intend to pretend to be a good person.”

After this declaration, Shion-san and Haru glared at each other in silence for a while. Their eyes met… creating a tense situation that could explode at any moment, but eventually Haru let out a big sigh as if cutting the tension.

“Phew…”

Haru closed her eyes, pressed her fingers to her temples, and shook her head.

“Before it came to this… I wanted to settle things, to be honest.”

“…You knew this would happen?”

“Not so much knew, but rather had a feeling about it. Woman’s intuition.”

“Is that so…? Impressive. Though you’re my rival, I cannot underestimate you.”

Shion-san also let out a soft breath and relaxed her expression.

Then, while looking at each other, the two declared war.

“Well, fine. I wanted to avoid this situation, but since I’ll make Yuu mine first, it’s not a problem.”

“I don’t care for the expression ‘make him mine,’ but I have absolutely no intention of losing.”

“I’ve thought this for a while – you’re actually quite combative but pretend to be a docile cat, deceiving all the boys in school. Acting like a pure young lady.”

“Yes. Somehow I’m starting to enjoy this. I can feel that I’m truly alive.”

“Um, what about my will…”

As I tried to interject, both of them simultaneously pressured me.

“Shut up! This happens because you don’t hold me quickly enough!”

“Please cherish me, tease me, and fully savor my black hair, my husband. You may drown yourself in me, your wife, both body and heart ♡“

The intense gazes poured from both of them. Then Haru pointed her index finger sharply and delivered her line.

“Okay? No more kissing Shion! Not even on the cheek or anything! I have to go to a club meeting, but if you do anything without permission, I’ll consider it cheating at that moment, understand!”

After glaring at me and giving that command, Haru, who seemed excited, turned her back and walked out, slamming the door shut with a bang.

◇◇◇◇◇◇

After Haru left, only Shion-san and I remained in the club room. Shion-san spread her arms and turned to face me.

“How convenient that we’re alone now. Well then, let’s do it.”

“Do it…? Don’t tell me!?”

“Of course, that ‘don’t tell me’ – intimate relations between a man and woman.”

“Even if you say something so crazy…”

As I faltered, Shion-san gave a soft smile.

“Just kidding ♡ You must be tired. I’ll make some tea.”

After saying these kind words, she turned her back and began preparing tea.

While gazing at her black hair from behind, I asked.

“Your words earlier… about having resolved yourself, that wasn’t a joke…”

“Of course I’m serious. If Yuu-sama hadn’t advised me at the hotel, I don’t think I would have realized my true desires.”

“That time, huh…”

I let out a big sigh.

Honestly, if I said I disliked Shion-san’s affection, it would be a lie. But it’s undeniable that it’s caused problems. What in the world should I do…? This was my Monday afternoon, agonizing between two beautiful girls.
