Stealing Spree

Chapter 2115: Admittance

When Eri and Futaba found Akane and Fuyu returning to the living room, they couldn't say anything at all. Their suspicions about Fuyu's relationship with me seemingly got stuck to their throat, failing to be voiced by them.

They had to awkwardly bring up another topic to get past it.

Likewise, despite being informed of what happened, Akane and Fuyu also didn't bring it up themselves.

However, that topic was already like a guillotine hanging over our heads. Any one of us could cut the tie and send it hurling down at us.

Not gonna lie, it sure was an awkward scene seeing them acting very carefully with their words after all the fun we had earlier and during dinner.

While going through other topics, Eri and Futaba would occasionally look in my direction. It's as though they're telling me to bring up that topic since I was the root of it.

I understood what was going on in their heads. They couldn't bring it up with Akane also listening at the side.

I mean, won't it feel like they're accusing Fuyu of having an affair with me right in front of Akane's face?

In a normal friend group, that can instantly spell so much chaos that it may even become the cause for their friendship to be over.

They're very conscious of that.

However, if I'm the one who brings it up, they're probably expecting Fuyu to deny it and then that matter will be put to rest.

Yeah. If I step up and shamelessly admit it while embracing Fuyu, it will surely be over in a flash. However, it will leave Eri and Futaba with a lot of questions regarding morality.

Of course, Akane is also aware of all those possibilities. But knowing my silly wife, she's going to enjoy seeing this awkward situation unfold first. Or rather, she's leaving this matter to my and Fuyu's hands.

In any case, since I also have to take a bath and check on my other girls, I can't let this awkwardness continue.

Since they're already suspicious, it's only a matter of time before they find out about it. Besides, this matter is better to be cleared up sooner rather than later.

"Yuuki-san... I have a question."

After contemplating for a while, I raised my hand, gathering all of their attention.

Almost instantly, I could hear Futaba and Eri's audible gulp. Then I saw Fuyu's conflicted expression. It's not that she's afraid to reveal it, she probably just had no idea how to properly explain herself or our relationship to the other two.

As for Akane, since the girl once again used her privilege of being my girl to snuggle close to me, she just pushed off of our seat, bringing me closer to Fuyu.

I comically rolled on the floor and ended up sitting on the ground right in front of the other solo sofa where Fuyu was currently sitting.

"y-yes? What is it, Onoda-kun?"

"Can I sit with you?" With a shameless smile, my mouth produced a straightforward question.

As soon as I did that, I glanced to the side, looking at Eri and Futaba who were already shocked at what they heard.

A second later, Fuyu who quickly gathered her resolve answered not just in words but also by actions, "Sure... I don't mind."

She stretched her hand out to me and helped me up from the ground. She then squeezed herself to the side, opening a space for me to take.

At this point, Futaba was the first to voice her confusion, "F-fuyu? What is happening? And Akane? Are you seeing this?"

Before Fuyu or Akane could answer her, I took up the space offered by Fuyu. And instead of the two of us sharing the seat side by side, I carried her up to my lap and held her intimately.

At this sight, Eri became slack-jawed because of Fuyu's lack of resistance. Futaba, on the other hand, widened her eyes as she incoherently muttered, "W-what am I looking at? S-so it's true...?"

"Eri, Futaba... It is just as you guessed. I got charmed by this shameless guy."

Perhaps to prove it to them, Fuyu sunk deeper into my embrace as her arms also wrapped around my head.

"Huh? But Akane? Are you fine with this?" Still not convinced at what she's seeing, Futaba turned to Akane who was looking at us with a hint of jealousy on her face.

However, Akane's answer once again astounded her, "Yes. It's fine. Fuyu loves husband. And husband loves her back. We now both love him. Isn't it wonderful? What's wrong with it?" Futaba exasperatedly screamed as her head started alternating between us, "There's a lot of wrong with it! Wait, are you pranking us this time? Hey, Onoda-kun. Sorry if I suspected you but it's fine now, you don't have to play with us like this. And Fuyu, I never thought you could also joke like this."

I get it, she's trying to de-escalate the situation after convincing herself that this is all a prank to get them. But Eri was already out of commission and there's no reason to take it back again. As I've said, since they've already suspected us, why not just go and admit it? This way, we can move past this issue right away, right?

The only problem will be how to convince them about this situation.

"Sorry, Futaba. But this isn't a joke. This is the truth. I started dating Fuyu last night."

With that as the last bomb to be triggered, Futaba's mind exploded as she also became lost in utter dumbfoundedness.

With Eri and Futaba losing their minds as they both leaned back on their seats powerlessly, Akane and Fuyu stood up and went to them to check their conditions.

Following that, they both glanced at me, conveying that I should leave the convincing to

them.

Yeah. Rather than let me continue explaining to the two girls, they're going to do it themselves. I mean, it's a bad idea if I keep talking. It will feel like everything is decided by

me rather than Fuyu choosing to be with me.

Before long, Akane and Fuyu took one each on their shoulders as they guided their dumbfounded friends up the stairs.

They're going to do the explanation and convincing in the room as the first topic of their girls'

talk for tonight.

Thinking about it, there's nothing else I could do in that situation. Since they already heard the truth, what next was just to let them digest it first before addressing their concerns to

properly convince them.

But will that happen without a problem?

Honestly, I have no idea. All of them have been close friends for so long already. Their concern for their friends is genuine. Our situation was abnormal, after all. And I fully understand that.

However, with Fuyu's determination and Akane's support, they only had one choice in this matter. Accept what we revealed and turn a blind eye to our situation because no matter what happened, neither Akane nor Fuyu would back down.

Eri and Futaba might hate and become wary of me because of this. But well, we'll see how this

will go later.

I can only believe in Akane and Fuyu successfully convincing them.

This isn't new to me and it will continue to happen many times in the future when the time comes to reveal everything to my girls' families.
