Why Not Make Both Twins 'Girlfriends'?-Chapter 1Volume 2 .3 - Somethings Off...?
Something’s Off…? 3
“Hii-chan, tell me the details in detail!”
“Chikage? That’s like saying ‘my headache hurts,’ are you okay…?”
(TN: She’s saying ‘tell me the details in detail’ is redundant, just like saying ‘my headache hurts’.)
When Chikage goes into runaway mode, her Japanese gets weird.

In such cases, it’s necessary to calm her down first, or she’ll just keep running out of control.
“Well, getting back to the trip——”
Sakuto abruptly steered the conversation back on track.
“——Do you two have any particular places you want to go?”
“Of course we do——Right, Chii-chan?”
“Yeah. Planning for a trip is what you’d expect of summer!”
Sakuto watched the two sisters converse cheerfully with a “Ohh” and a “Right!”
Indeed, the close twin sisters seemed to want to go to the same place without even saying it out loud.
“Shall we announce it on the count of three?”
“Sure. Ready..Set——”
“The beach!” “The mountains!”
Sakuto inadvertently let out a “Whoa” in response.
(Oh, so even twins have their differences…)

Facing Chikage, who is sulking, Hikari returns her gaze with a somewhat strained smile.
In a corner of the bustling train station filled with the clamor of the rush hour crowd, a tense atmosphere began to emerge.
“…Hii-chan, did you just say ‘beach’?”
“I did, but did Chii-chan say ‘mountains’?”
“Yes. Because when you think of summer, it’s all about the mountains.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Isn’t the beach is more classic?”
As Sakuto chuckled wryly——
” “Sakuto-kun, what do you think!?” “
“!? Me!?”
Caught off guard and overwhelmed by their intensity, Sakuto took a step back in surprise.
“We’re going together, so we want to hear Sakuto-kun’s opinion too! It’s the mountains, right!?”
‘That doesn’t sound like you’re really asking’, Sakuto thought.
“I was thinking of showing Sakuto-kun my super sexy swimsuit, though?”
‘Now that’s an interesting proposition’, Sakuto began to ponder.
“Hii-chan, that’s cheating! ——S-Sakuto-kun, you’re more into sweat-soaked support tights than swimsuits, right!?”
“Chikage, I don’t have such a specific preference… Besides, we’re getting off-topic…”
Beach or mountains——honestly, either would be fine.
Not that he didn’t care, but if the three of them were going on a trip together, surely any destination would be enjoyable because——
(——Wait a second…)
Sakuto stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Depending on how you think about it, perhaps it’s possible to combine both opinions into one solution——
Indeed, it’s not good to deem something impossible from the start.
Our predecessors who were called geniuses in the past never gave up in the face of difficult situations and pursued possibilities, leaving behind great achievements that had never been accomplished before.
It is said that the renowned inventor Thomas Edison failed ten thousand or even twenty thousand times before developing the incandescent light bulb.
The material he used for the filament was Madake bamboo from Mt. Otokoyama at the Iwashimizu Hachimangu Shrine in Kyoto.
It was a moment when two countries, separated by an ocean, America and Japan, were connected through the hands of a single genius.
(I see, so it’s about combining…)
In other words, this “beach or mountains dilemma” can be solved by connecting the dots and drawing a straight line to the answer.
Swimsuits or mountain gear, if you combine them——
“——Ah, I’ve got it!”
A light bulb flashed above Sakuto’s head.
It was indeed a one-percent stroke of genius——
“How about wearing swimsuits in the mountains!?”
” “That’s weird!” “
“Then, how about dressing as a mountain girl at the beach…”
” “That’s weird!” “
“Or perhaps, wearing support tights under the swimsuit…”
” “That’s also weird!” “
——It seems it’s weird, after all.
In a sense, it was unprecedented. Or rather, the conversation was all over the place.
“Let’s set aside those unique preferences for now and decide whether you, Sakuto-kun, want to go to the sea or the mountains.”
“Of course, other options are also on the table. We’ll go along with whatever you decide, Sakuto-kun.”
Sakuto thought it might be best to go to both the sea and the mountains, but he couldn’t think of a place that offered both, nor could he come up with a third option.
Before coming to a conclusion, he decided to ask this question—
“By the way, are you two on Team Bamboo Shoot or Team Mushroom?”
” “Team bamboo shoot.” “
“Oh, you agree on that…?”
For the record, Sakuto was on Team Mushroom.
——And so.
The twin sisters were adamant, one for the sea and the other for the mountains, showing no signs of compromise.
Sakuto himself wanted to make this two-night, three-day trip with his lovers the best memory for each of the twin sisters.
Therefore, he was having quite a struggle trying to reconcile both opinions and find a middle ground.
Without reaching a conclusion, they decided to discuss it again on another day and disbanded for today.
