Why Not Make Both Twins 'Girlfriends'?-Chapter 6Volume 2 .2 - At Boyfriends House...?
At Boyfriend’s House…? 2
On a whim, Sakuto headed to the kitchen.
Chikage had volunteered to do the dishes, so with nothing else to do, Sakuto decided to help.
“I said I’d do it later.”
“Don’t worry about it. I’m used to housework, and I like it.”
“Is that so… But still, I’d like to help.”
Sakuto took a dishcloth and stood next to Chikage, taking the items she had washed and began to dry them.
“Hikari looks like a different person.”
“Isn’t it surprising? She’s always like that with adults. Compared to her, I am just… sigh… just hopeless…”
Seeing Chikage’s dejected expression, Sakuto laughed to cheer her up.
“It’s not that you’re no hopeless. You were just nervous, right?”
“I’m just envious of Hii-chan, who can speak without getting nervous…”
“That’s true. But Chikage, you’re kind of cute when you’re nervous.”
“Wha…!?”
Taken aback, Chikage almost dropped the plate but managed to catch it in a hurry.
“S-Sakuto-kun…! Now’s not the time for those kinds of jokes…”
“It’s not a joke. Your reactions are so expressive that it’s easy for me to tell. I like that.”
“G-Geez… Please say more things like that!”
“Ah, yeah… I was expecting a different response…”
The two shared a chuckle at the joke when suddenly they heard Hikari’s exaggerated voice.
“What’s this, what’s this?”
“It seems like there’s a nice atmosphere over there, huh?”
“Hmm… From this angle, they look like… a newlywed couple?”
Hikari and Mitsumi were grinning.
They giggled mischievously after seeing Chikage turn bright red, clearly enjoying teasing her.
“Isn’t my little sister cute?”
“She really is adorable. Plus, she’s serious, and I bet it’s never boring being with her. But Hikari-chan, you’re cute too, you know.”
“Eh? Really? Thank you so much!”
Hikari responded like an adult.
It made one wonder if her usual innocent and childlike demeanor was actually intentional.
“Shall we move on to the next question? What kind of consultations are most common at the law firm where Mitsumi-san works?”
“Well…”
Mitsumi paused thoughtfully.
“The most common are infidelity issues, like affairs, and then divorces, those kinds of disputes between men and women.”
“Wha…!?”
Tension shot through Sakuto, Chikage, and Hikari.
“There are cases that don’t just end with civil issues. Recently, there was a case where two women were involved with the same man──”
“Ah, I think we’re going to skip that! We can’t write about specific cases!”
Hikari hastily put a stop to it. Sakuto thought it was bad for the heart.
＊ ＊ ＊
Mitsumi had to leave for an appointment with friends after Hikari’s interview was over, so Sakuto and the Usami sisters saw her off at the entrance.
“It was really nice to meet both of you. I have to go but feel free to stay as long as you like. Will you come to visit us again?”
“Of course!”
“Fufu, surrounded by two such cute girls… my nephew is really lucky.”
Mitsumi chuckled, but then she looked at Hikari as if she thought of something.
“Hikari-chan”
“Yes…? What is it?”
Hikari flashed her a charming smile.
“...Aren’t you tired?”
“Eh...?”
“The next time we meet, you can relax a little more, okay?”
“What do you mean by that...?”
“Your heart will become weary if you don’t express your feelings. You don’t have to force yourself to match me. Just like how you are with Sakuto, it’s okay to let your guard down more, okay? Show me the real you next time we meet.”
With those words, Mitsumi smiled warmly, causing Hikari to show a flustered expression.
“Ah, um, Mitsumi-san, I didn’t mean to deceive...”
“Fufu, I know. You’re a lot like Sakuto.”
“I’m like Sakuto-kun...?”
“Yes. That’s why you don’t have to hold back. Try expressing your feelings more openly? ──Well then, Sakuto, please take good care of them.”
Leaving those words behind, Mitsumi walked away.
“...She saw right through me. I still have a long way to go, huh...”
Hikari said this with a wry smile and looked down.
Sakuto, watching Hikari out of the corner of his eye, thought about Mitsumi.
“She’s a lawyer, and besides, Mitsumi-san loves people. That’s why she observes others carefully, and maybe she felt something was off while talking with you, Hikari?”
“Yeah, maybe... But I’m still really glad I could talk with Mitsumi-san...”
Hikari murmured as if relieved. Seeing this, Sakuto took a glance at Chikage.
Chikage’s nod accompanied by a smile surely meant she felt agreed with her.
That was Hikari’s genuine feeling. He believes she genuinely felt relieved.
Then, Hikari stretched out her body grandly.
“I was so serious in my responses that my shoulders are all stiff... So, Sakuto-kun, could you give me a massage in your room later?”
“Ah, sure, that’s fine...”
“That’s not fair... Sakuto-kun! Please give me a massage too!”
And so, the three of them returned to their usual selves and headed towards Sakuto’s room.
“So this is Sakuto-kun’s room~”
“It’s exactly as I imagined!”
While watching the twins look around happily, Sakuto thought to himself that he never expected to show them his room.
He seated the two in the middle of the room by the low table as they looked around curiously.
“Is it always this clean? Did you tidy up thinking we were coming?”
“Well, I just vacuumed a bit. I try to keep only the most essential things.”
Chikage groaned softly.
“It kind of reminds me of Hii-chan...”
“Oh, it does seem a bit like Hikari’s room.”
“Chii-chan’s room is full of stuffed animals, right?”
“Hii-chan! You promised you wouldn’t tell Sakuto-kun!?”
“Oh? Why not?”
Sakuto tilted his head in confusion.
“Because… I don’t want you to think I’m childish…”
Chikage’s face turned bright red. Suddenly, Hikari moved behind Chikage and playfully lifted Chikage’s chest from behind.
“Hey…!? Hii-chan!?”
“How can you possibly be considered childish with something this big?”
“We’re talking about hobbies right now!”
“Mufufu… oh? Did they get bigger again?”
“Stop it already…!”

Chikage tried to resist Hikari’s teasing with her face flushed red.
Unable to look at the two of them directly, Sakuto said,
“I’ll go make some tea, so please make yourselves at home…”
And quietly left the room.
It might be a perk of being the boyfriend of twin sisters, but this kind of situation was still quite awkward.
＊ ＊ ＊
“Phew… I’m tired…”
After about two hours of study session, Hikari stretched out grandly.
“Sakuto-kun, can I borrow your bed…?”
“Sure.”
Hikari staggered towards the bed and dove face-first into the pillow.
“Ahh, I can smell Sakuto-kun…”
“Hikari, it’s embarrassing, so please stop…”
“Hii-chan, switch with me!”
“Look, Chikage is saying the same… eh?”
While they were exchanging these words, Hikari stopped moving altogether.
“Ahahaha… Hii-chan seems to have fallen asleep.”
“What? So quick!?”
Indeed, the sound of Hikari’s breathing indicated she was asleep. It was surprisingly fast.
“Hii-chan is quick to fall asleep but also wakes up early. She’s always been like that, only needing about two or three hours of sleep…”
“A short sleeper… How does she maintain that energy level?”
“She’s a genius.”
Chikage said with a wry smile. Her expression was more one of amazement than sarcasm.
“Let’s let Hikari sleep, but what about you, Chikage?”
“Then, I’d like to take a little break too…”
Chikage gently rested her head on Sakuto’s shoulder. Sakuto couldn’t help but feel his heart skip a beat as a sweet floral scent reached him.
“What’s wrong all of a sudden?”
“It’s payback.”
“Did I do something to you, Chikage?”
He wonders what she means by payback.
“I know you and Hii-chan have been whispering about something from time to time.”
“Oh, you noticed…?”
“Of course I did. I can’t help but feel a little sulky when you show it off like that.”
She rubs her head against him even more As she says this.
She’s basically not seeking revenge. She’s trying to express her jealousy.
“I want to be paid more attention by you too, Sakuto-kun…”
“Oh… If that’s what Chikage wants—”
“That’s not it. I want to know what you want to do with me, Sakuto-kun.”
She’s being unusually spiteful, different from the usual Chikage… Not that he dislikes it though.
“Um… It’s not so much that I want you to pay attention, but more that I want to be like this with you.”
“Specifically?”
Chikage glanced up at Sakuto with a serious look.
“Right now, it’s… well, Hikari is here, so…”
“It’s okay. A little noise won’t wake her up—”
It was like a conversation between a couple after putting their child to sleep.
The sound of the analog clock’s hands, the rustling of clothes, and Hikari’s breathing could be heard.
They might even hear Chikage’s blinking or her heartbeat in this moment of brief silence, but that silence was quickly broken.
Sakuto and Chikage kissed──
