Why Not Make Both Twins 'Girlfriends'?-Volume 1 Epilogue - Will You Love Us...?
Epilogue
Will You Love Us…?
Tuesday, June 28th.
During today’s lunch break, the ranking list for the recent school proficiency test was about to be posted.
This time, the test covered three subjects: Mathematics, Japanese, and English.
Each subject was worth 100 points, for a total of 300 points.
“Of course, no photography is allowed, and uploading to social media is also prohibited! ..Really, especially this time, be especially mindful about it…”
As usual, the student guidance teacher Tachibana gave these instructions to everyone, mumbling something incoherently at the end.
The students looked at Tachibana who had a complex expression with confusion.
Finally, the ranking list was revealed.
50th place, 49th place, 48th place──the ranks were announced from the bottom up, as usual, progressing towards the first place.
The murmuring among the students echoed down the hallway.
However, when it came to announcing the top three, the murmuring suddenly quieted down.
【1st place, Class 1: Chikage Usami – 300 points】
【1st place, Class 3: Sakuto Takayashiki – 300 points】
【1st place, Class 5: Hikari Usami – 300 points】
【4th place, Class 2──】
There were no second or third places. Instead, there were three students tied for first place.
For a moment, the students thought there was a mistake and simultaneously turned to look at the student guidance teacher, Tachibana.
“Um… it’s unusual, but don’t take any photos, that’s all…”
The moment she said that, the gazes of those around turned towards the three students who tied for first place.
“Even if it’s a tie, my name doesn’t come before yours, huh?”
“It seems to be in class order, so it can’t be helped?”
“But hey, Sakuto-kun is in the middle, and we’re on either side, just like our current situation, right?”
“I don’t think that’s a point to be happy about… anyway, shall we go to the cafeteria now?”
” ” Yeah! ” “
Amidst the stunned students, the three casually walked through.
As they turned the corner of the hallway, a sudden uproar of commotion erupted behind them.
***
“Yum! This is so delicious~~!”
“Don’t just casually eat someone else’s fried chicken Hikari…”
“I asked about the recipe, but it seems to be a trade secret. Moreover, you challenged me to guess it. What could be the secret behind this deliciousness…? Hmmmm…”
“Chikage, I appreciate your enthusiasm for research, but… that’s my fried chicken… hey, are you listening?”
Sakuto tried to guard his fried chicken, but the twins easily snatched it away, leaving only three pieces out of five.
Even if it’s his girlfriend, taking food from her boyfriend without permission is a definite no-no.
“Then, I’ll give you my hamburger steak in exchange.”
“Ah, thank you…”
Chikage always resorts to her usual bartering tactics. But it still doesn’t quite compare to two pieces of his fried chicken.
“Then, as for me——here!”
And Hikari hugged Sakuto’s arm.
“Hey, don’t hug me like that!”
“Hey-hey take this! Hahaha!”
It’s exchanged for two meat buns with Hikari (?)
It can’t be helped but to exchange it.
“Even so, our relationship isn’t getting discovered at all? I wonder why?”
“Well, because you two are smart and cute and──”
” ” What’s with that all of a sudden!?” “
“Ah, calm down-calm down… Don’t both turn bright red like that in stereo…”
Sakuto thought he should be more careful with his choice of words, but he didn’t know any other way to express ‘cute’ other than ‘cute’.
“No one would expect that the three of us are dating, right?”
“Eh? Really? Even though I’m clinging to you this much?”
“That’s because people think you’re just have a lively character.”
“But I only do this with Sakuto-kun, you know?”
“Ugh…!”

Sakuto turned red at Hikari’s destructive way of speaking and clinging.
“Ahem… But Hii-chan, you need to restrain yourself a bit, or we’ll get caught eventually.”
“Nishishishi… want to switch places?”
“Ah, well, if that’s the case, I won’t hold back──”
“Chikage, don’t get carried away, and no, you don’t have to stand up…”
While they were having this exchange, Tachibana, who seemed to have finished supervising the hallway, came over looking exhausted.
She didn’t have a tray in hand, just a cup of hojicha tea.
“Sigh… really…”
After quenching her thirst, Tachibana let out a big sigh.
“Why are you so stressed, Sensei?”
Guessing the general situation, Sakuto asked Tachibana with a puzzled expression.
“My stomach hurts… About your recent achievement test, it became a topic of discussion in the staff room, and it was even brought up in yesterday’s faculty meeting. It’s unprecedented…”
“…? What’s the problem with that?”
Chikage tilted her head in confusion.
“Well, it’s not so much a problem as it is extra work… Honestly, it’s the junior high school students who will be affected.”
“Junior high? Why’s that?”
“The fact that three external students achieved good results has led to a faculty meeting about nurturing internal students. The high school teachers will apparently be working more closely with the junior high. Oh boy…”
It was unclear what the problem was with that.
“I’ve become the representative for the high school, which means I’m the main teacher in charge of this new junior-senior high school academic collaboration project… Do you understand what this means?”
“I see, it means more work for you…”
“Yes… I now have to mainly handle weekly class observations and meetings, along with creating documents and various other tasks…”
“So, you’re a promising mid-career teacher, congratulations.”
“I’m still considered young, you know? I’m not yet in my thirties… well, almost.”
Sakuto just learned about this boundary between being a young and mid-career teacher.
“Ahem…anyway, that’s why I’ve come up with a brilliant idea. Since this whole thing started with you three, I would really appreciate your help. Specifically, I was thinking… wait, where did the three of you go? Hey, don’t hide, come out. Hey, don’t ignore me. I’ll even offer you a carrot now…?”

After school, as the three of them were about to head home together, they noticed the rain had lessened to a cloudy sky.
The end of the rainy season was still a bit away, but the forecast said it would be sunny from today until tomorrow.
“Now that our test results are out, how about we go on that long trip we couldn’t do last Saturday?”
“That sounds great! I agree!”
“I’m totally in! I want to go!”
The twin sisters’ eyes sparkled as they each clung to Sakuto’s arms.
“A two-day, one-night trip, perhaps…?”
Chikage’s cheeks flushed slightly.
She seemed to be drifting into her fantasy world.
“No, I think a day trip would be better, definitely…”
Sakuto said with a resigned tone as the weight on his other arm increased.
“I don’t mind a day trip, but I’d like to go around and see lots of places?”
“Then, how about we stop by Canon on our way home for a meeting?”
“Agreed!”
With both arms captured by the twins, Sakuto looked up at the sky.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the clouds, and a rainbow appeared in the distant sky.
It was a strange feeling.
Even the occasional rainbows, when viewed together with these two, somehow felt more special.
When he looked back at them, both were smiling.
Were they plotting something?
“Sakuto-kun, with that being said—”
“Me and Chii-chan, as twins together—”
Hikari and Chikage put more strength into their grip on my arms.
” “Will you love us?” “
While he thought, ‘Here we go again,’ a smile naturally found its way onto his face.
It wasn’t a forced smile, nor one concocted in his mind, but a genuine, carefree smile from his heart.
