Chapter 31 - You Can’T Run Away From Us

Is this… Is this going to play out the way I think it will…?

But… I wonder if Eri-chan will be okay with that.

"I, um… I like Eri-chan."

"!!! T-Then…"

"But I think Eri-chan should think carefully."

As a high school student myself, hearing Eri-chan say she likes me multiple times has made me think about a future with her more than just once or twice.

However, it's possible that Eri-chan might be confusing romantic feelings with affectionate ones.

Maybe she just thinks of me as a father figure and is dependent on me.

"I've thought about it a lot, you know? About how I can marry Yukishiro-Onii-san."

"That's not what I meant."

"?"

"You shouldn't confuse love with affection."

"…? I know that's what you meant, okay? What is Yukishiro-Onii-san saying?"

"Do you really understand?"

"I know. Yukishiro-Onii-san thinks I'm overlapping Dad and Yukishiro-Onii-san, right?"

"…In short, yes…"

"Then it's not a problem. Because…"

"?"

Eri-chan put her mouth close to my ear and whispered…

"Because I've never been this excited about Dad."

Eri-chan then grabbed my hand and gently brought it close to her crotch.

It was moist, and when I looked at Eri-chan's face, she looked excited and lustful, letting out heavy, sultry breaths.

"E-Eri-chan."

"Yukishiro-Onii-san is scared, isn't he?"

"Huh?"

"Scared of the fact that our relationship could possibly be broken."

"!!!"

It was like I was confronted with a haze that had been in my mind.

I think I've been running away from the idea of dating since I had a bad breakup with that guy once.

…Without realizing the feelings of both Eri-chan and Miho-san, I built a wall in my heart, contemplating what would happen if I were to enter a relationship. I said I'd "protect both of them" as an escape mechanism.

Maybe those words were protecting me.

"It's okay. I won't let Yukishiro-Onii-san get away."

After saying that, Eri-chan slowly removed my clothes…

"…Reluctantly, Mom, too, won't let Yukishiro-Onii-san slip away."

"..."

I could only stare at Eri-chan in amazement.

"Yukishiro-Onii-san can't run away from us."

"…Eri-chan."

"What?"

The thought of letting myself go like this crossed my mind, but I shook my head and looked at Eri-chan.

"Please go out with me."

"Yes. That was the plan all along."

Eri-chan's excitement reached its climax as she devoured my lips.
