Chapter 860 Another Meaningful Talk
Following that little tea drinking session with them, I asked Nami to wait for me for a bit before borrowing the hidden room, bringing Mina with me inside.
Thinking that I was going to do perverted things to her, my lovely tea girl seemingly steeled herself for it. She closed her eyes and let her body lay flat on the bed, waiting for me to come over and lay down with her.
That was a great opportunity to tease the girl but… I let it pass. I already teased her earlier, after all. That’s why I sat down on her side and held out my present for her. And that resulted in an unforgettable moment when the girl opened her eyes and noticed the surprise.
She didn’t expect it. The girl became teary-eyed while having her best smile to date. Furthermore, she didn’t open it immediately and tucked it in her bag, hoping to keep the suspense for when she was alone in her room.
Following that, the girl pulled me with her on the bed and showered me with her unrestrained affection. By the time we returned to the previous room, we both sported a disheveled appearance and Mina couldn’t look straight ahead in embarrassment.
Because of that, Edel, Himeko, Haruko and even Aya teased the girl once more as Nami and I left the clubroom.

A few minutes after leaving the Book Club, we found ourselves in another empty room. This was the one with the sofa.
Because she already expected that I was about to give her something, everything went smoothly. From presenting it, to opening it and to helping her wear the necklace that I got for her. The pendant I chose for it was an aqua-colored stone. Obviously, it’s not the expensive gemstones but just a knockoff.
I deliberated if I would get her an earring or a necklace. Or better yet, something like what I gave Satsuki. In the end, the blue pendant of the necklace caught my eye and remembered her favorite color.
Extremely delighted by my present, Nami asked me to stay with her for a few more minutes before sending her to their clubroom. And that’s why we’re here again, entwined in the same sofa we used last week.
“You know, Ruu. Seeing you looking as though you just had a steamy session with Mina earlier, I thought it would invoke jealousy in me. Strangely, it didn’t… Knowing that she’s the same as me, helplessly in love with you, and that you love her just the same, the competitive spirit within me didn’t flare-up. Is this normal?” Nami said as she pressed her whole body on me, her lips showering my neck with kisses.
From the tone she used, the girl was probably contemplating about this ever since we left the Book Club.
“Obviously, in a normal sense, it’s not… It’s popular these days, right? The catfight between women who love the same guy. And even if you’re accepting of our situation, there should still be a bit of jealousy when seeing me with another girl…”
“… Oh. I still feel that way about some girls. Especially those close to me originally. Like Hina, Saki and Shizu-nee. But for the others, it’s a case of me admiring you more. To have them fall in love with you as well, I can imagine you working hard.”
“I see. I think it’s because your sense of reality has been in a state of suspension upon accepting my abnormal trait… You easily accepted my past and even my relationship with other girls. If you visit that thought again, you might feel jealous of them again… I mean, who wants to share their guy with another girl?”
No one, of course. But I forced them or rather, I asked them to accept the situation… I should really be condemned just by it but none of them were doing so… Furthermore, I wasn’t remorseful for what I’m doing. This was what was really wrong with me.
“Is that it? Maybe… it is. And that’s right, I’m being jealous of those close to me because… I’m always with them. The slight uneasiness coming from the thought that they’re also becoming intimate with you when I’m not looking is invoking that feeling of jealousy…”
It’s probably the same sense of having your lover and friend betraying you. However, the difference was that… she was aware of it from the start so it diminished to just feeling jealous and competitive with them.
“Mhm… The others are also probably feeling the same. Anyway, I’m glad you talked about this with me, Nami… I appreciate knowing more of your thoughts about our situation.”
“We’ll be together and I know, there might come a day that we’ll get into a fight. I better or we better start this habit of conveying what’s inside our head to you. To prevent misunderstandings.”
Haa… I’m really lucky to be the one she fell in love with… She’s too kind and compassionate. Furthermore, she’s not scared to talk about what’s in her mind… Although I wouldn’t fault the others for keeping it in, I really love Nami’s way of making me understand what she’s thinking.
Honestly, it’s the same with Akane. That silly girl will still tell me if I did something wrong or if she found my decision questionable. Yae, on the other hand, is the accepting type. She tends to convince herself that everything’s fine. I had to notice that and pry it out of her. As for Haruko, although she kept reminding me of things I was failing to see, she’s also the type to not easily talk about what’s in her mind.
“In a way, you’re all doing that already. But you’re right, sometimes I’m too dense to know what you’re feeling. I’ll have to rely on all of you to correct me if ever I did wrong.”
“I like the sound of that… Rely on us more, Ruu.” Nami’s lips stretched into a satisfied smile.
“Mhm… Thank you for staying with me and accepting my… abnormality.”
I really owe it to them… That much I know. And the only way for me to repay that is to continue doting and making them feel special.
“There’s no need for you to thank me, Ruu. You laid it out to me from the start… And I honestly am satisfied ever since I cast off the guilt and doubt in my mind… I won’t say I’m okay with you getting more girls though, that’s dishonesty. Just make sure to not neglect any of us, Ruu.”
“I won’t… I promise.”
“Then kiss me one more time. We’re already late for our clubs, I bet you’re going to be nagged by your senior again.”
Upon saying that, Nami energetically laughed as though she was happy with my misfortune. Even though she already knew that Ishida-senpai might become one of them, she loved that story of me being given a cold shoulder by the girl because of coming in late.
To stop her from laughing more, I pinned her down below, clasped our hands together and covered her lips with mine. Kissing more passionately than earlier, Nami and I savored those last few minutes.
After fixing ourselves, I walked her to their clubroom.
I had no idea if the guy was just too unlucky but… when we opened the door to their clubroom, Ogawa was standing right in front of it.
