Chapter 38 - Past That Follows

"Well, this is the end of this semester. You're third-year students now. There's no time for fun. Focus on your studies. Well then, that'd be all."

The teacher got off the podium and left the classroom.

Last year, everyone would have been noisy and discussing what to do during the summer vacation, but everyone was at their desks, staring at their reference books or leaving the classroom to go to the library with vocabulary books in their hands.

"Yukishiro, are you leaving?"

Mikiya spoke to me with an English vocabulary book in his hand.

"Yeah, I think I'll go home."

"Okay, I'll see you in the second semester."

"Yes."

Back home, I'll…

A few dozen minutes after leaving school. I arrived home and opened the front door.

Then Eri-chan jumped out and hugged me, as if she was waiting for me. The force was so strong that it hurt a little.

"Welcome back, Yukishiro-Onii-san."

"I'm home, Eri-chan."

It's been about a month since I've started dating Eri-chan and Miho-san.

During this time, Eri-chan's indulgent nature has accelerated even further, and she sticks to me all the time.

"Eri-chan, I'm going shopping. Do you want to come with me?"

"Y-Yes!"

Since we started dating, Eri-chan has gradually become able to go out more and more, and now we can go to the supermarket together.

But she still doesn't want to go out alone.

Eri-chan finished getting ready and we went outside together.

"What do you want for dinner today?"

"Hmmm, what should I choose? All of Yukishiro-Onii-san's food is so good."

In the end, I chose to become a househusband.

The three of us talked about it…

"Yukishiro-Onii-san, you must never go outside."

"I wish you would welcome me."

After days of thinking about it, the two of them begged me like that.

I have settled into a position as a househusband and manager.

To be honest, I still have doubts about whether it was a good idea, but when I see Miho-san and Eri-chan eating the food and saying how delicious it was, I'm glad it turned out this way.

"Ummm, how about hamburger steaks then?"

"With cheese?"

"Yes!!!"

"Okay."

Eri-chan seemed to be enjoying herself as she held my arm even tighter.

Just seeing this makes me really happy…

"…You're Akasaka, right?"

"!?"

"I'm right! You're Akasaka!"

Two high school girls, with flashy appearances, appeared in front of us.

"Do you know each other?"

"…I don't know them."

Eri-chan was trembling when she said that.

...

"Have you forgotten? It's me. We had a lot of fun then, didn't we, Akasaka?"

Saying that, the girl grinned mischievously.
